MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 174

When they arrived at the stalls selling New Year's goods, the rice **** felt that they were still too young. Every stall was crowded with people, and a family as big as them couldn't get in at all.

The rice ball found a pen and paper from Xiaodoubao's big rooster schoolbag and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, there are too many people today, it's not easy to crowd with so many people, you can make a list of what you need to buy, and you can bring it with you. Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan are going to sit there and wait, I and Xiaodoubao can squeeze in a little bit, and we will take them out when we buy them, so that we can buy them faster."

The New Year's goods sold at the stalls outside are all necessities for the New Year. You don't need a ticket to buy them, but they are only available in limited quantities. For example, candy biscuits are packaged by kilograms. You can only buy one kilogram of each variety. Independent checkout, there is no need to queue up, rice **** and bean bags are inconvenient to carry things, take them out and let Su Xiaoxiao watch it outside, this method is also very good.

Su Xiaoxiao patted the big cub's head and handed him the wallet: "Our rice **** have grown up, so the list doesn't need to be listed. You and Xiaodoubao are the masters. Today you are the purchasing team, and mother appointed you as purchasing agents. The team leader and the purchasing team leader think that we can buy whatever our family needs for the New Year. It doesn’t matter if we can’t buy them all. When we go back, we can go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and small markets to supply supplies. You take good money and don’t be touched. Xiaodoubao should also follow his brother closely, and come back here to gather when he is separated, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety and not to be stepped on."

The brothers were assigned various "tasks" by Su Xiaoxiao's training since they were children. This little thing could not stop them. Xiaodoubao bowed his eyes and saluted his mother: "I know, mother, we promise to complete the task."

Xiaoroubao actually wanted to go with his brothers, but he knew that his mother would not let him go, so he pulled at the corner of Xiaodoubao's shirt and said, "Little brother, I saw someone laughing at the date just now, do you see if you can? Buy me some."

Xiaodoubao squeezed his brother's little meat hand: "Okay, I will definitely buy it for you when I see it."

The rice ball also asked Xiao Tangyuan: "What do you want to eat most? Big brother will buy it for you."

Xiao Tangyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I like to eat sesame oil jiaozi the most."

The rice ball patted his sister's head: "Then wait, my brother will buy you some when he sees it, and see if the one I bought is delicious or the one made by my mother."

Xiao Tangyuan shook his head and disagreed: "It must be made by Ma Ma!"

Su Xiaoxiao held one in each hand and said to the brothers, "Okay, you guys can go shopping, and make a quick decision."

Rice **** and beanbags are clever ghosts. They are small and flexible, and they disappear into the crowd after holding hands twice.

Xiaoroubao sighed: "I really want to go, too. The aunt who sells candy will definitely invite me to eat candy when she sees that I am cute."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her son's fleshy face a little worried. He was only a few minutes older than Xiaotangyuan, but now he thought he was one or two years older than Xiaotangyuan. , this snack food will definitely grow into a chubby pier if he eats like this.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged her son to discuss: "Xiaoroubao, you can eat one less bowl of rice and one less sugar from today, okay?"

Xiaoroubao stared at Su Xiaoxiao with round eyes, and shook his head: "Don't be Mama, it's hard to be hungry." Xiaoroubao bit his finger and looked at his mother pitifully, "Mama, it's the family that has to spend money on it. Can't the shop afford to keep the little meat buns?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." Could this be related? Are today's children's logical thinking so strong?

Xiaoroubao was poking around in Xiaojizai's schoolbag for a long time, and took a pile of crumpled money from the dark compartment and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "Mama, this is the pocket money I saved, I will buy food and rice for you. , will you let the little meat buns fill up?"

Xiaotangyuan also pulled her small schoolbag, and handed the pocket money she saved to Su Xiaoxiao, looking at her expectantly: "Mama, I will give you the money I saved, Xiaotangyuan will eat half a bowl of rice less in the future. , would you please let the third brother have enough to eat?"

Su Xiaoxiao really couldn't help laughing, how could she become a vicious stepmother who didn't let her children have enough to eat?

She hugged the two children and kissed them respectively: "No, no, there is enough money in the family to support you. My mother is worried that Xiaoroubao will eat too much food. What should I do when I grow up to be a chubby little girl and no little girl likes it."

Little Tangyuan tilted her head to look at her mother: "Little Tangyuan is also a little girl. It's good that Xiaotangyuan has always liked the third brother."

Xiaoroubao nodded heavily: "Mama, I don't want other little girls to like it, other little girls will just grab candy from Xiaoroubao!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Okay, but if you eat Xiaokouzao for a while, you can't eat candy today, okay?"

Xiaoroubao bit Rodudu's fingers: "But Ma Ma, laughing jujube is not sugar, you still have to eat sugar."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Isn't the jujube in the mouth sweet?"

Xiaoroubao shook his head: "It's not sweet, it's fragrant. If it was sugar, it would be called Xiaokou Date Candy."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." Okay, okay, you're cute, what you said is right, the child is still young, and he doesn't understand anything. Let's do this for now, and let's talk about it later, it's really worrying.

After such a short period of time, the kung fu rice ball and the bean bag were already full of things in both hands.

The little rice ball said with a smile: "Little meat buns and small glutinous rice **** are really delicious. The first stall we entered was actually selling Xiaokou jujube and Youjiaozai. I bought a bag of Xiaokouzao and a bag of Youjiaozai. There is a bag of Twist and a bag of Beef Ear Crisp, and Xiaodoubao and I can only choose between two, if we want to buy more, we won’t give it.”

Su Xiaoxiao took out the big bag prepared in advance: "Put it in it, it's already very good."

Xiaodoubao said: "The stall next to me has added my mother's favorite fruit. I bought a bag of oranges and a bag of oranges."

Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised. The supply of this solar term fruit is very small, and it is often divided up by internal staff before it is sold. It takes good luck to meet it.

"Xiaodoubao is also very good. These are enough for us to eat for the New Year. You can go to the children's clothing store to see. I saw a big red jacket. If it suits you, buy a set each."

The rice ball shook his head and said, "I took a look, and Xiaodoubao is not suitable for me, but you can buy a set of Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan, and a prosperous Shancai boy who goes to say Gongxi Facai will definitely be able to deceive a lot. Red packets and sweets."

Xiaoroubao immediately became interested when he heard it: "Big brother, then I want to wear it!"

Xiaodoubao squinted his eyes and said, "When the time comes, my mother will help my sister tie two small balls, just like the dolls in the New Year's paintings."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Okay, buy it if you like it."

Su Xiaoxiao asked the cubs to eat a mouthful of jujube each, saying that the rest would be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and the cubs had no objection.

Xiaoroubao ate the smile that he was thinking about, and his eyes narrowed with joy.

The purchasing team disappeared from the crowd again. This time it took a lot longer. When they came back, the two people and four hands were still full.

Xiaodoubao holds clothes in his hand, and a small rice ball holds a plate - kumquat?

The rice ball looked excited and said, "Mom, I bought this, and it will look good with a few red envelopes hanging on it in our house."

Su Xiaoxiao did not expect that there are still kumquats for the New Year here. When I was in Sujia Village, everyone liked to plant a few kumquats in the yard. It happened to be the New Year. Good intentions, so almost every household likes to grow.

"Rice ball, can I buy another kumquat?" Su Xiaoxiao really likes this kumquat, but she doesn't know if the capital's climate is suitable for planting. If so, she plans to wait for the next year to plant it. In the yard, when the weather is cold, let Hancheng make a small conservatory to keep them alive.

The rice ball nodded: "It should be possible, everyone seems to like buying flowers more than buying this, but there are not many people who buy flowers."

Su Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Where are the flowers?"

The rice ball pointed to the farthest stall: "Yes, it's over there, but the uncle who sells flowers said that these potted plants are all shipped from the south and are only of ornamental value. The capital is too cold and can be placed on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Five is good, and it won't survive if you plant it in the ground."

Su Xiaoxiao thought the same thing: "Forget it, let's just experiment with this pot. Let's try to plant it for a year and see if it doesn't work, right? Are there sweet-scented osmanthus and pomegranate?"

The rice ball thought about it seriously: "I don't recognize it, but it should be there. I seem to smell the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus."

Su Xiaoxiao was even happier: "It's not the osmanthus season that you can still smell the fragrance of the flowers. It should be specially cultivated for the Chinese New Year. You guys look at your younger brothers and sisters, and I'll go take a look."

While talking, Han Cheng actually came back, holding a large cardboard box in one hand, and raising a few pots of flowers in the other.

"Why so fast?" Su Xiaoxiao took the flower from his hand and said in surprise, "How did you know I was going to buy this?"

Han Cheng said, "I knew you would like it."

Su Xiaoxiao bent her eyes and looked at it. There were two pots of osmanthus, two pots of daffodils, two pots of pomegranate, and the kumquats that the rice ball bought were large potted plants, while those bought by Hancheng were small potted plants. The flower sellers helped Hancheng to tie them up. It's very good. Once the water grass rope is tied around the top, it can lift several pots with one hand.

"Have you bought everything?" Han Cheng asked again.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little worried when she saw what she had purchased: "We can't buy it if we don't buy it all, we don't have a car, and taking the bus with so many things is already enough, so I think it's fun to go shopping today, but the TV still has all these things. Flowers are our big harvest, and other things will be replenished after going back to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and small markets."

The cubs were particularly interested in the TV that Han Cheng brought back, and they gathered around to watch it, but unfortunately they hadn't opened it yet and couldn't see anything except the cardboard box.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao especially misses the past life and the days in Qingfeng Town. With a family and children, a scooter is really very important. Fortunately, they took the initiative to buy the yard near the university, otherwise they would always take the bus back and forth. Enough.

When she went back, Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiaodoubao to lead her younger brother and sister to the front. She and Hancheng Rice Ball were barely able to bring everything. Fortunately, they didn't buy any more, and they couldn't take any more flowers.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when I squeezed the bus back home. The cubs were thinking about the TV and kept talking about watching TV.

Han Cheng took off the antenna tied to the TV, unpacked it, and moved the TV out. The cubs looked at the clumsy and heavy black and white TV that was only nine inches in size and cried in amazement.

Children's happiness is as simple as that. Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she didn't know what to say when she remembered the large 72-inch LCD color TV and the projection screen the size of a wall in her previous life.
