Chapter 406 This Is Just a Trick to Coax the Little Girl
It’s obvious that the child doesn’t need to leave her.
Yun Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief. She looked at Bai Naihan and said sincerely, “You’re right. It won’t be a big deal to leave for a while. Why don’t we just stay in your dormitory for one night? It’s just right that we can attend the full moon banquet of Zhu Yao’s child and Sister Yan’s child tomorrow.”
She was originally worried that it would be inconvenient to attend the full moon banquet of their children because she brought the child with her, so she planned to let Bai Naihan go instead of her.
Now she doesn’t have this worry.
Her eyes were sparkling.
Bai Naihan, who was a little hesitant, saw her rare relaxed smile and smiled, “Okay, as you say.”
He hadn’t seen her smile like this for a long time since she gave birth to the child.
She would smile normally, but she always felt that she was worried about something, so she didn’t smile so happily.
After the two of them decided, they immediately went back to the house to get a set of clothes to change, and then told her mother-in-law. The man also took a thick coat and put it on her, saying that she couldn’t get cold even after the confinement.
Then, in the eyes of the three children, they rode away on their bicycles.
At this moment, Xiaoxue had just woken up and was picked up by Liu Yuzhi before she could even cry.
Liu Yuzhi was shocked by the sudden decision of her daughter-in-law and son as soon as she walked into the yard.
Xiaoxue seemed to feel that her mother was going to leave her. She waved her hands and yelled "Ahhh" a few times. Unfortunately, the cold and heartless couple didn't even turn their heads.
Fortunately, the little girl was usually taken care of by Liu Yuzhi during the day. She didn't cry. When Yun Qinghuan left, the little girl lowered her head and played with her fingers.
When they arrived in town, Bai Naihan first took her to the supply and marketing cooperative for a walk.
Since she got pregnant and her belly got bigger, she hadn't come to buy things for a long time. For a while, she was in the mood for shopping and wanted to try everything she saw. Fortunately, because it was a full-moon banquet today, she and Bai Naihan were both carefully dressed up and didn't look dirty.
Moreover, both of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and they looked very attractive when they walked together. It might also be that the town was so small and they came here so often that the supply and marketing clerk remembered the two of them. Although he didn't know their names, he remembered their faces.
Therefore, his attitude towards them was not as bad as towards others, and even his voice when he spoke to them was a little softer.
Yun Qinghuan didn't get impatient when she asked him to try something. He took it to her with a good attitude and didn't worry that she wouldn't buy it. After all, judging from her clothes, she didn't look like someone who couldn't afford to buy anything.
Finally, Yun Qinghuan bought some egg cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative, and also bought a few more novel hair flowers, which were very magical. She also found the kind of iron wire butterfly hairpin, which was twisted with iron wire and lifelike on the hairpin.
If you clip it on your hair, the butterfly will flutter its wings as you jump, which is very beautiful.
Such hairpins were particularly popular when Yun Qinghuan was a child, and almost every little girl had one.
But she was an orphan at the time, so where could she get the money to buy these?
Later, after making money and being able to buy these hairpins, she no longer had the same mood as before.
Thinking of this, she felt a little emotional, but she didn't expect that such hairpins already existed in this era.
"Comrade, give me a pair... No, give me seven pairs of butterfly hairpins."
Yun Qinghuan originally wanted to buy them for her daughter. Although her daughter is still young, she has a lot of hair. After another year or so, she can wear hairpins and comb her hair into a small bow.
But thinking of Qiao Yue's twin daughters, Zhao Qiumei's daughter, Lu Juan's daughter, Zhu Yao's daughter who she will visit tomorrow, and Jiang Wenxiu's daughter Jiaojiao, who is also a half-grown girl, is at the age of loving to dress up, so she can't be left out.
After calculating, there are quite a few people to give gifts to, and Yun Qinghuan directly and generously asked for seven pairs of butterfly hairpins.
The supply and marketing clerk was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Comrade, you have a good eye. This hairpin is a foreign product we just brought from the port city. Don't think it's just a hairpin, but it's made of steel. Steel is so expensive, so this hairpin not only needs foreign exchange bills, but also industrial bills."
"You came by chance. We only have seven pairs of hairpins. If you want them, I'll pack them for you."
Yun Qinghuan didn't expect that this hairpin was imported and needed foreign exchange bills.
She did have industrial bills, but she only had a few foreign exchange bills, and she didn't bring them back from home. For a moment, she looked at Bai Naihan for help.
Bai Naihan naturally saw that she probably didn't bring enough bills, and smiled and opened his purse, which contained some pocket money he had saved, one or five cents, a lot of coins and banknotes, and some bills.
He flipped through it for several minutes before collecting a few foreign exchange bills, and then handed them to Yun Qinghuan.
"Buy if you like."
The smile on his face was full of pampering.
This hairpin is imported from the port city. The receipts are precious and the price is not cheap. Seven pairs of hairpins cost seven yuan, which can buy more than ten kilograms of pork.
If it were an ordinary working-class family, they would not be willing to buy it at all.
This is just a toy to coax little girls.
The older girls are not willing to wear it, thinking it is a bit childish.
The supply and marketing clerk saw that Bai Naihan actually doted on Yun Qinghuan so much, and his eyes were full of envy. Few men treat their wives like this.
If many women dare to buy some impractical things, they will definitely be scolded by men for being wasteful.
Even the supply and marketing clerk has his own job, and he hesitates to buy such a pair of impractical hairpins, fearing that people will say it when he goes home, let alone seven pairs?
Yun Qinghuan happily took the ticket from the man and handed the money to the salesperson, "You count it."
Holding seven pairs of hairpins and egg cakes, the two went to the mall again.
After not coming for a few months, the mall has some new summer clothes. Maybe it's because it's 1977 now, and some of the countermeasures above are more relaxed. These clothes feel much better than when Yun Qinghuan first wore them, and there are more colors.
In the past, they were generally black, white, gray, blue, and military green, and other colors were rare.
Now there are even some light green, light blue, and pink clothes.
She picked a set of clothes for everyone in the family and spent all the cloth coupons she had accumulated in the past few months.
Finally, she bought a toy car that the little boy liked to play with. It was really small, about the size of a fist, but it had four wheels and looked novel. She planned to give it to Sister Yan's youngest son tomorrow.
She bought a lot of things here and there, and the man followed her with his hands full.
After spending almost all the money and tickets, Yun Qinghuan stopped with a sense of unsatisfaction.
Looking up, I found that it was getting dark, so I went to the state-owned restaurant with Bo Naihan for dinner.
Because we were quite full at noon, we only ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and asked for two bowls of porridge and three big steamed buns.
