Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 54 "June 1st" Festival Performance (3)

Zhou Guoqiang has only visited a shopping mall a few times. The last time he came was a few years ago when his third son and his wife came to buy gifts. He thought it was a rare occasion to go shopping.

First I went to the TV counter and walked around. At this time, there were three major brands of TVs: "Panda", "Changhong" and "Konka". Among them, the black and white TVs of the "Panda" brand were of the best quality and slightly more expensive.

Zhou Guoqiang looked at the price. After several months of doing business, he already had a little money in his pocket. He would not find it so difficult to accept money in units of hundreds. However, the fourteen-inch black and white TV actually sold for two Zhou Guoqiang was still stunned by Baiduo.

 After the house is built, I must take this one home, Zhou Guoqiang thought.

 As the head of the family and a father, he felt sad and ashamed that his children were not as good as other children. His two brothers were both doing better than him, which made him feel quite unhappy. However, he rarely showed such complicated feelings, even in front of his wife Zhao Yuzhen, and he never mentioned them.

 Actually, who doesn’t want their children to live a better life? Dabao and Xiaobao make noises and watch TV all day long. He scolds the child in person but complains about himself behind his back. He also wants to meet the child's request but has no money and can't do anything.

In the past three months, the pork selling business has gradually been on track. There are more and more repeat customers, and the business is getting better and better, making more and more money. This gives Zhou Guoqiang confidence in the future. Just wait, kids, dad will come and bring a TV home next year at most.

Zhou Guoqiang silently made up his mind and took one last look at the TV, then pulled Zhou Xiaoyun to look at other counters.

Looking at the adult wardrobe first, Zhou Guoqiang fell in love with a shirt. The straight collar and white sleeves looked very handsome. Then he looked at the price, wow, forty!

Zhou Guoqiang immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking the salesperson to show him something, and went to look at the women's clothing again.

At this time, summer clothes were all on the market, including colorful short-sleeved shirts, long skirts and shorts. Zhou Guoqiang originally wanted to bring one to Zhao Yuzhen, who has been busy all year, but unfortunately the prices were too high. Although he brought eighty yuan with him, Zhou Guoqiang did not forget that the most important thing today was to buy a good dress for his daughter, so he had to give it up and wait to see how much money was left.

Father and daughter walked and shopped like this and finally reached the children's clothing and shoes counter on the second floor.

There were a lot of children's clothes hanging on this counter. Zhou Guoqiang caught his eye at a bright red lace skirt and motioned to Zhou Xiaoyun to see if he liked it.

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at it twice and shook his head: "Dad, the color of this dress is too dark. It feels weird to wear in summer. It's better to find something plainer! I think the light blue one with some white flowers on it is just right. pretty."

Zhou Xiaoyun took a fancy to this light blue dress as soon as she arrived. It was very elegant and plain, just her favorite color. The style was also very simple, but it was elegant and decent. It would not be rude in any occasion.

Zhou Guoqiang asked the salesperson to give it to Zhou Xiaoyun to try on. Zhou Xiaoyun hid behind the counter and quickly changed his clothes using the one-meter-high counter. Fortunately, he was young and there was nothing to be embarrassed about, but he felt awkward in his heart.

After changing into her skirt, Zhou Xiaoyun climbed out of the counter and stood in front of Zhou Guoqiang. Zhou Guoqiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

 Zhou Xiaoyun, who rarely wears new clothes, put on this light blue skirt and looked as slim as a little flower, which made people love her. Even the salesperson repeatedly praised her beautiful dress.

 Zhou Guoqiang asked about the price, twenty-eight! It's a bit expensive, but the material is soft and smooth and looks like good fabric, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, especially the embroidery on the skirt corners is very elegant. Even Zhou Guoqiang, who doesn't know much about goods, thinks this dress is worth the price.

After Zhou Guoqiang paid the money, he bought a pair of shoes for Zhou Xiaoyun. Zhou Xiaoyun obediently picked a pair of white plastic sandals. They only cost a few yuan and were the cheapest in the children's shoe cabinet.

Okay, it's done. Zhou Guoqiang touched the remaining money on his body and bought a pair of sports sweatshirts and shorts for Dabao. The stretchy ones are very suitable for the active Dabao in summer. Thinking that I had to bring something for Xiaobao and Erya, I went to buy a pair of sandals for Xiaobao and Erya. Every child is the treasure of his parents!

Finally, I went downstairs to the women's clothing cabinet and bought a short-sleeved shirt for Zhao Yuzhen. The thin fabric was really good, breathable and cool. Zhao Yuzhen had been longing for it for a long time.

By the time everything was finished, it was already noon. Zhou Guoqiang guessed that Zhou Xiaoyun was hungry, so he took Zhou Xiaoyun to a small restaurant next to the mall, ordered two portions of rice, and asked Zhou Xiaoyun what kind of food he wanted to eat.

Of course, Zhou Xiaoyun knew very well how much money Zhou Guoqiang spent. The money he spent today was enough to keep his hard-working parents busy for more than half a month. Zhou Xiaoyun felt heartbroken when he saw it. At this time, he couldn't bear to order expensive dishes, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, fry some shredded potatoes for me to eat. I love shredded potatoes the most."

Zhou Guoqiang was a little sad, so he ordered some fried shredded potatoes according to his daughter's wishes. He felt a little more comforted when he saw that his daughter was devouring the food and it was delicious.

When we got home in the afternoon, all the children were very happy to have new clothes or shoes to wear. Dabao put on a short-sleeved sports shirt and shorts at that time. He looked in the mirror left and right, not to mention how much he liked it. Xiaobao and Erya also put on new shoes on their feet, they were so beautiful.

 Zhou Xiaoyun put away her new skirt and shoes to wear when she went to the county the day after tomorrow. She hid in the house and continued to practice the harmonica. Now that her parents knew about the competition, she went to practice behind the scenes without any secret and started practicing at home.

The melodious sound of the piano attracted both Dabao and Xiaobao Erya, who refused to leave regardless of whether they could understand or not.

Zhao Yuzhen did not expect that Zhou Guoqiang had brought clothes for herself. While complaining about her husband's wasteful spending, she happily wore new clothes. When she looked in the mirror, she looked much younger and more beautiful. There was a smile on Zhao Yuzhen's face that she couldn't hide.
