Chapter 872: Shopping in a department store (two chapters combined into one)(1/3)

There were children in the car, all of whom were going to the city for the first time, and their faces were full of excitement. They happily gathered together to communicate.

Ye Yaodong put on his hat and mask, and chatted with his uncle for a few words. After they got on the road, he also shut up.

It's shaky and noisy, so I have to shout to talk, so I won't talk until I get off the bus.

The children were also very interested and excited at the beginning, but became more and more anxious later on.

It wasn't until they entered the urban area that they came alive again. Their eyes widened. They all lay on the edge of the tractor, stretched their necks and looked around in surprise. Their mouths were wide open enough to fit an egg in.

I wish I could grow another pair of eyes and put them on the back of my head.

After he came back to his senses, he started chattering excitedly and pointing his fingers back and forth.

Because there was no protection, there was an extra layer of dust on their heads. When they got off the bus, there was obvious dust falling down when they patted their hair, which reflected the lyrics of the lyrics "Your hair is like snow."

"Ah, we're here now, we're here now?"

"Are you here? Is this here?"

"Wow, is this the market?"

"Wow wow wow, great, we're here!"

"It's so big, clean and beautiful here. It's much cleaner than our country. The houses are so tall and there are so many cars..."

"There are so many people. I have never seen so many people in my life..."

As soon as Ye Yaodong got off the car, he opened the door of the store first to make it easier to carry and unload the goods. When he passed by a few children, he cheered them on.

"Have you ever been to the market?"

"There are not so many people going to the market, and the market is not as beautiful and spacious as this one."

"That's right. The market is crowded with people. You, short and humble, can only see people's heads or feet. How can you see so many people."

"Dad, when are we going to buy football?"

Lin Guangyuan also stared at him with fiery eyes, and he was always thinking about his football.

"I'll help you uncles unload the goods first, and then pack up the store. If there's no rush, you can come over and help move things together. Don't just watch and talk. I'll have plenty of time for you to browse later."

Everyone jumped up and down excitedly and helped move tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, steamers, etc. The adults moved and unloaded the goods in the car, while the children moved into the house.

After all the debris on the tractor was removed, the shop was full and looked messy.

Ye Yaodong looked at the messy pile of debris and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"You should put it at the door, but if it's all piled inside the house, what are you going to do?"

Sister-in-law Lin also scolded several children depressingly, "Are you stupid? Just throw it in there like this. There is no place to stand. How can you clean it up? Move it out quickly..."

"Ah? I just moved in and have to move out..."

"Even, I can't explain clearly..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, and you can go play when you're done."

The children all accepted their fate and moved everything out of the house bit by bit.

Ye Yaodong also helped with the tidying up, until an hour later, all the tables, chairs, benches, kitchen utensils, bowls and chopsticks in the room were arranged in order.

My brother-in-law and the others are very thoughtful. They are new to the city. They must be unfamiliar with the city. They can prepare it from home and take it there, which saves them having to buy it from outside. Anyway, it is only one trip to the city and they can just transport it there with a tractor.

.

The long tables and benches placed in the room were all unused in the school. He bought a few of them at random, and simply painted them with paint and wrote his family name on them. They didn't look awkward at all.

There are quite a lot of scratches on the table top, and there are a few small holes with names and the word "Morning" engraved on them, and the 38th line drawn on them.

These problems are not big. Anyway, there are tables, chairs and benches for people to sit and eat.

At this time, several sacks of clothes, pillows, quilts and other daily necessities were placed on several tables. There were also several sacks of rice, flour, home-made sweet potato powder and sweet potato vermicelli stacked in the corners.

There are also three big bags of freshly harvested corn, as well as cabbage and pickles, which are either packed in sacks, baskets or jars...

I probably moved all my belongings here, brought everything I could bring with me, and probably exchanged everything I could with relatives, friends, and neighbors, such as the big basket of eggs.

It must not be their own, otherwise it would take them a long time to grow such a big basket.

He said that when he got on the tractor before, there were so many sacks and they were stacked so high. If the tractor hadn't been raised, it probably wouldn't be able to hold so many things.

"Dad, the store is sorted out, can we go buy some golf balls?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him. This kid was too impatient. He kept asking and talking. He just finished his work and sat down to take a rest and urged him. He needed to dry out.

"Don't you want to go see your grandparents? You're already here, why don't you go and ask about your own store? You also have to go see where your uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​are going to stay at night, and find out what your grandparents rented for them.

house."

"All right."

Mrs. Lin held a ladle of water in her hand that she had begged from a neighbor and was splashing it on the ground bit by bit with her hands, intending to make the ground a little wet so that dust wouldn't fly all over the sky when she could sweep it.

She said with a smile on her face: "You go to find grandma first. I will sweep the floor here and do some hygiene. These things are covered with dust along the way and are very dirty. After cleaning them, I can cook noodles.

Lunch, it’s almost 12 o’clock.”

"Then I will take you to find grandma first." Lin Xianghui waved to the children and said.

Ye Yaodong also followed behind.

The children were so excited that they ran and jumped to the front, trying to find it themselves.

Later, I actually found it for them first, without anyone asking for directions.

"Here, here, I found..."

"Found it..."

A group of children all rushed into the store. Father Lin and Mother Lin were very happy. There were only two customers in the store at the moment. Ye Yaodong came in and helped entertain them.

After they finished buying the cuttlefish and left, they were the only ones in the store.

The children's chirping sounds echoed throughout the store.

Father Lin and Mother Lin asked them a few questions in detail, and after chatting for a while, they planned to take them to the rented house in the same village where the two elders stayed. The two elders also rented a room for their family to have company.

Ye Yaodong asked them to go first while he stayed to look after the store.

This made Ye Chenghu anxious to death. He had to wait in the store again. How long would he have to wait?

He was already hungry. His aunt told him that it was already 12 o'clock, so he set off in the morning, but it was already 12 o'clock when he arrived in the city. His father also said that he would go back in the evening. If he delayed further, wouldn't he have time to go buy a ball?

Moreover, they adults still have a lot to say, so how long do we have to wait?

Not seeing the ball earlier made him feel as if he was scratching his head.

Ye Yaodong also saw that his mouth was so pouted that it could hang on the oil bottle, and he kept walking around the shop uneasily, squatting for a while, standing for a while, or walking to his side and hesitated to speak, and then

Go to the door again.

"Don't worry, after they settle down and we have lunch, I'll ask the rickshaw at the door to take us to the department store. It's very fast. Be patient. Why are you so impatient."

"Rickshaw?" Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up. He had long seen a row of human-pulled rickshaws parked not far from the market entrance.

He saw someone get on it, and then the person pulling the cart ran very fast.

Does his father mean to take him to a rickshaw later?

Great, great!

He suddenly became energetic again!

"Well, I don't know where the department store is. It would be nice to take a rickshaw and have someone take us there. It would also save us from being like headless flies asking people and looking everywhere. It will probably be dark by the time we find it.

.”

"Okay, okay, then we'll take a rickshaw."

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead, "So I told you not to be so hasty."

"How can we not be in a hurry? We have already arrived and we still have to wait here for a long time. Uncle and the others are so slow."

"Come here soon."

Ye Yaodong also stood at the door, and Lin Xianghui happened to be walking from the opposite side of the road, holding a pole in his hand. After a while, he picked up two sacks and walked towards the village on the opposite side of the road.

I guess I am moving my luggage. I plan to put the luggage at my accommodation first and then come over to have lunch together.

"Why does uncle come and leave again..."

"Carrying luggage."

"Alas..." Ye Chenghu squatted at the door, supported his chin with his hand, and sighed heavily.

By the time they finished eating the noodles and walked out of Lin Xianghui's new shop, Ye Chenghu's temper had been worn away.

He held Ye Yaodong with one hand and rushed forward, so that his whole body was at 60 degrees to the ground.

"It's finally out, hurry up dad, hurry up, it's too late..."

"Why is it too late..."

"Hurry up and take a rickshaw..."
To be continued...
