Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 268: Unboxing Blind Boxes

The rope was tightly wound, and undoing it would likely take some time.

Jiang Ran glanced at it and gave up on untying the rope, standing up to find scissors instead.

After cutting the rope open and taking out the items one by one, Jiang Ran slowly recalled what she had bought.

She had bought shoes for each member of the family. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The shoes were all packed in boxes, and the shoe boxes were relatively large, naturally taking up space.

The day before returning, Jiang Ran and Pei Huai specially went to the department store to buy autumn shoes for the family.

If not for the fact that only autumn styles were available and not winter ones, Jiang Ran would have bought even more.

Jiang Ran could make clothes by hand, but most of the shoes had to be purchased.

Handmade cloth shoes, although comfortable, were unsuitable once the weather turned cold.

Especially during the rainy and snowy autumn and winter, handmade cloth shoes became even more impractical.

After taking out the shoes bought for everyone, the first sack had deflated, almost empty.

The last item she took out was also a box.

However, this time, the box contained not shoes but small toys that Jiang Ran had specially bought for Pei Jing.

The box, larger than a shoebox, contained quite a few small toys.

Some were ones Jiang Ran thought Pei Jing would like, while others just amused Jiang Ran herself.

The assorted items filled a box, enough to keep Pei Jing entertained for a long time.

Jiang Ran handed the box to Pei Jing, letting him unwrap each one himself.

Not knowing what was inside felt just like opening a blind box, bringing great joy.

Putting the empty sack aside, Jiang Ran opened the second sack.

This one contained a much greater variety of items.

There were snacks unique to beishi, and Jiang Ran had bought a little of each.

The packaging was quite secure, so nothing was crushed, and the taste was decent.

Besides the unique snacks of beishi, there were also some finely packaged foreign snacks.

These were more for novelty.

They were not available for sale in their area; Jiang Ran had probably seen all sorts of snacks, so she wasn’t particularly interested, but she thought Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan might be.

Tea, tobacco, and alcohol went without saying; Jiang Ran picked the best available, especially those not found in their area.

Pei Baoshan was diligent and capable, honest, and without any significant hobbies, except he enjoyed having a smoke after work and a small drink with dinner.

In the past, he only bought cheap wine, and his tobacco was made from homegrown leaves, dried and rolled by hand.

After everything had been taken out, there was only one box left.

A bright red velvet box, which at first glance, held items of considerable value.

Wang Cuilan was very curious, "Ranran, what’s inside this?"

Jiang Ran smiled, "Inside this, it’s jewelry I bought for you and Shanshan."

It was the late 80s, a time when people dressed and accessorized freely.

However, half a year ago, the Pei Family was still struggling, hardly managing adequate meals, let alone affording jewelry.

For the past half year, Jiang Ran had been so busy she couldn’t even think about such things.

This time, what made her remember was seeing many women in beishi adorned with dazzling jewelry on their hands, ears, and necks.

If she hadn’t seen others wearing it, Jiang Ran might not have thought of it.

As she spoke, Jiang Ran also opened the box.

Inside the large box were smaller boxes of different sizes.

Some were square, others rectangular.

Jiang Ran couldn’t remember what was in each, so she simply opened them one by one.
