Chapter 25

Put the fifty dollars back into the envelope, then fold up everything and put it back into the notebook.

At noon, Tang Huan added a whole spoonful of chili powder to the oil-splashed noodles made by his mother-in-law without knowing the consequences.

The noodles were delicious and really spicy. She inhaled as she ate, and her lips turned red from the spiciness.

Seeing how spicy she was, Xing Cui instructed Meng Zeyan to get Tang Huan a glass of water.

Eat chili peppers and then drink a sip of hot water, that tastes great! ! !

Tang Huan burst into tears right away, it was so spicy…

Tang Huan looked at the culprit with tearful eyes and said aggrievedly, “You actually poured hot water?”

The uncle poured hot water for her as she couldn’t stand the spicy food! What deep hatred wants to kill her…

This damn guy is so unreliable! Xing Cui hurriedly stood up and ran back to the house to pour cold water. Wasn’t there some cold water drying at home?

She picked up the kettle used for cooling water and touched it, “Tsk!” Why is there hot water in this cup?

In the yard, Tang Huan was wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Meng Zeyan quickly went to the vegetable garden to pick a cucumber, washed it and handed it to her.

The crisp cucumber took a bite and the spiciness faded a little, but Tang Huan’s eyes and mouth were still red.

The eyes are wiped with tears, and the mouth is spicy.

Meng Zeyan watched her pick up the chopsticks and wanted to continue eating, so he advised her: “If you can’t handle spicy food, don’t eat it.”

The cucumber gave her confidence. Tang Huan felt that she could do it again. She picked up the chopsticks and continued eating without believing in anything bad.

He had eaten the cucumber clean before he had even taken two bites of the rice.

Meng Zeyan felt that he was a really good person, so he stood up and washed two cucumbers and brought them to the table.

Tang Huan smiled sweetly at him, Uncle is a good man!

It took Tang Huan three cucumbers to finish a bowl of noodles. He was so full that he walked slowly around the yard to eat.

Xing Cui watched her walk around and around and suggested, “Xiao Huan, wait until your brother finishes washing the dishes, then let’s go to the state-owned store. Your brother will be joining the army tomorrow, and we need to prepare a lot of things for him.”

“Leaving tomorrow?” Tang Huan had never heard his uncle mention this, and then he thought there was really no need to tell her.

Xing Cui nodded. “It’s a one-week vacation, and tomorrow is the last day. They said they would go to their residence to pack up in advance. Is there anything you want to buy? We can buy it together.”

Tang Huan thought about it and decided that she wanted an alarm clock because getting up every day was a hassle.

“I want to buy an alarm clock.”

“That’s great, let’s buy them together.” Xing Cui clapped her hands and made the decision.

Meng Zeyan heard it clearly in the kitchen. Comrade Xing Cui made the decision without even asking for his opinion.

After coming out of the kitchen, Meng Zeyan didn’t say anything against it. Indeed, it was useless even if he objected.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in front and whispered, and Meng Zeyan followed them not far away.

There were too many things to buy for Meng Zeyan. Xing Cui was afraid that she would forget Tang Huan’s alarm clock, so she went straight to the watch counter after entering the store. She had watches, wall watches, pendulum clocks, and alarm clocks.

Alarm clocks are all similar in style, with two bell-like things on top.

The difference is the case underneath, some are round and some are square.

Tang Huan chose a round one that was slightly larger than her palm.

After trying it and finding the sound was quite loud, Tang Huan began to inquire about the price.

The salesperson smiled and said to her, “This alarm clock is six dollars.”

Six dollars!

Tang Huan felt that the small alarm clock in her hand was a little heavy, but she had to accept it!

Xing Cui waved her hand behind her, and Meng Zeyan walked forward with self-awareness, took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to the salesperson.

The salesperson took it with a smile and lowered his head to give the change.

Tang Huan knew he couldn’t win the fight, so he didn’t plan to snatch it at first. But when he saw Meng Zeyan paying, he instantly felt embarrassed.

How could she have the nerve to ask Meng Zeyan to buy things for her!

Xing Cui knew that Tang Huan had the same idea, so she leaned over and explained to her in a low voice: “I gave him the money when I left and asked him to help hold it.”

Tang Huan was a little skeptical, but then she thought that there was no need for her mother-in-law to lie to her. Besides, my uncle is not a sucker, so how could he let her spend his money?

Thinking about the last time she paid tuition, she believed it.

Putting the alarm clock in their bag, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked towards the next counter.

We usually wear military uniforms in the army, but we always have to change clothes during rest. The most important thing is that my eldest son promised to get married before he is 30.

Xing Cui wanted to buy him some fashionable clothes that would be popular with little girls.

It was Tang Huan’s first time shopping for men’s clothing. To be honest, her mother-in-law had a very sharp eye. To put it bluntly, she was always at the forefront of fashion.

She picked out fancy clothes for Meng Zeyan, floral shirts and bell-bottom pants…

It’s quite trendy, but it’s a pity that the hair doesn’t match it.

If Meng Zeyan could perm his hair, wear a pair of frog-eye glasses, pointy-toed leather shoes, and carry a dual-cassette recorder, he would be even cooler!

Meng Zeyan was somewhat resistant to being dressed up in such a gaudy way and tried to communicate with Comrade Xing Cui that this was not a good look.

But Comrade Xing Cui believes that the public’s view is the same. She sees a lot of gay men dressed like this on the street.

This road was blocked, Meng Zeyan turned to look at Tang Huan who was standing beside him, and looked at her helplessly, hoping that she could help.

Meeting his gaze, Tang Huan smiled widely, somewhat with a hint of wanting to watch the fun.

Meng Zeyan smiled and withdrew his gaze, then had some aesthetic clashes with Comrade Xing Cui.

It was obvious that he couldn’t beat a certain trend-setter.

After seeing enough of the excitement, Tang Huan dragged Xing Cui to look at some more restrained T-shirts and shirts. The white shirt was more suitable for Meng Zeyan than the floral shirt.

In fact, she thinks some of the sweater styles are also good, as well as the windbreakers.

Following Tang Huan’s advice, Nongchaoer temporarily gave up her favorite floral shirt and flared pants and let Meng Zeyan try the clothes Tang Huan picked.

After trying it on, Meng Zeyan was very satisfied. Comparing it with the previous styles, he felt that he had never liked it so much.

Comrade Xing Cui was also very satisfied, and it seemed that it was a little more pleasing to the eye than those flashy ones.

After buying clothes, there are also shoes.

The female comrade who was working happened to be the female comrade that Xing Cui wanted to introduce to Meng Zeyan last time. Last time she asked him to see her, he said he didn’t pay attention.

This time, before Xing Cui even reached the shoe counter, she whispered to Meng Zeyan, “I know you don’t want me to be in charge, but you can always take a look, right? What if you like it? It would save you from taking a detour.”

Tang Huan wanted to laugh when he heard this. Is this how you take a detour?

With Tang Huan present, Meng Zeyan couldn’t say much and just pretended not to hear.

Xing Cui was furious, but she forced herself to endure it. After all, Meng Zeyan had already agreed to get married before he turned thirty.

The three of them walked to the shoe counter, and sure enough, there was a whole row of pointed leather shoes for men, many of which had heels two or three centimeters high.

Xing Cui was picking out leather shoes, and Meng Zeyan was afraid that her vision would be wrong again, so he followed her closely.

Tang Huan was standing at the side and couldn’t help but look at the female salesperson a few more times. She was good-looking and had small canine teeth when she smiled, which made people easily like her.

Looking at the salesperson and then at Meng Zeyan, the mother-in-law has good taste.

When Meng Zeyan looked up while trying on shoes, he found that Tang Huan’s eyes were wandering between him and the salesperson. It was bad enough that his mother was randomly matching them up, but Tang Huan was joining in the fun?
