"Sure, I agree." Jiang Mianmian raised both hands, cheering joyfully.
Jiang Changhai also copied her by raising his hands, "I agree too, let’s head out now."
The family of three were in perfect agreent, instantly donning their heavy cotton-padded coats and braving the piercing cold wind as they marched boldly to the state-owned restaurant.
None of the family was frugal. Once at the state-owned restaurant, each of them ordered dishes they liked and indulged in a hearty al.
After finishing the al, when Su Wanyu spotted the Supply and Marketing Cooperative not far away, she tugged at Jiang Changhai’s arm, suggesting, "Brother Hai, the New Year is almost here, let’s go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and buy sothing for our parents."
"Yeah, you are always the sensible one," Jiang Changhai praised her playfully.
The three of them entered the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the clerk, seeing them, greeted them warmly, "Ah, Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, Mianmian, are you here to do so shopping?"
"Yes, girl, the New Year is coming, so we ca to buy so things for the family," Jiang Changhai responded with a smile.
"Then you’ve co at the perfect ti, we just received goods from Haicheng and Pengcheng yesterday, have a look and see if there’s anything you like, everything is suitable," the clerk whispered.
"That’s great, honey, what shall we buy for mom and dad?" Jiang Changhai asked Su Wanyu.
"Let’s buy clothes, mom and dad haven’t had new clothes for several years," Su Wanyu suggested after so thought.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you," Jiang Changhai agreed with a nod.
Su Wanyu took her ti picking out and eventually bought each of their parents a thick cotton-padded jacket and cotton shoes, and Jiang Changhai also bought two thick hats that could cover the ears.
"Hey, girl, could you bring that red cotton jacket to have a look?" Su Wanyu pointed at a set of children’s clothes hung on the wall.
"Sister-in-law, you’ve got a great eye; this is Haicheng’s most popular cotton jacket right now. We received six sets the day before yesterday, and today only two are left. The size of this jacket, Mianmian will fit perfectly," the clerk said as she fetched the jacket and spoke to Su Wanyu.
"Is that so, I do find this jacket quite nice looking and suitable for my daughter," Su Wanyu felt the thickness and quality of the jacket, pleased with what she found.
"Mianmian looks so fair, she’ll look best in red clothes, and besides, wearing sothing festive for the New Year is also auspicious," the clerk also had always liked Jiang Mianmian.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu decisively nodded, "Alright, girl, wrap up this set for , and I’ll look around so more."
"Alrighty," the clerk, who loved straightforward custors like Su Wanyu, happily folded the clothes and placed them together with the ones bought for the elderly couple.
A woman, no matter the ti, always possesses great enthusiasm for shopping. Su Wanyu, arriving at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, was like a fish in water, hesitant to leave even after quite so ti.
Jiang Changhai watched Su Wanyu flutter about the Supply and Marketing Cooperative like a butterfly, following behind tirelessly and affectionately.
By the ti Su Wanyu had finally had her fill of shopping, the counter at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was stacked with two hefty piles of clothes.
She had not only bought clothes for the elderly couple but also new outfits for their family of three since, of course, wearing new clothes for the New Year was proper.
"Alright, I’m taking all these clothes, girl, can you tally them up, how much is it altogether?" Su Wanyu asked with a smile, patting the two piles of clothes.
The clerk calculated and said, "Sister-in-law, all these clothes together are seventy-four yuan and fifty cents."
