Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

Chapter 147: Shopping for New Year's Goods at the Shopping Center

This Sunday is the last Sunday before the New Year, and workers use this day to buy New Year's goods.

Li Xiuyuan came to his aunt's house carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods.

Li Fengmei opened the door and saw what he was holding. She exclaimed, "Oh my God! Are you bringing the department store home?"

What my aunt said was a bit exaggerated, but Li Xiuyuan did carry a lot of things, including food and daily necessities.

Li Fengmei quickly helped to take it and opened it to see: candied melon seeds, peanuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken, fish, meat and eggs...

"I was planning to go to the vegetable market today, but I don't mind what you've done."

As soon as Li Fengmei finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan received two aggrieved looks. Xu Hong and Xu Qing pouted and looked at their mother, then at Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan immediately understood what they meant and said, "It's okay if you don't buy anything, just go and have a look. If you miss something, you can make up for it later."

Xu Hong and Xu Qing looked at their mother with surprise in their eyes.

Li Fengmei said, "This is enough, what else is there to buy?" Suddenly she saw the look in her two daughters' eyes and immediately understood.

The two daughters wanted to go shopping and watch the fun. In the past Chinese New Year, she would take the two daughters out shopping, and they would also take this opportunity to go shopping in the big shopping malls.

"Then go and have a look?"

As soon as Li Fengmei finished her words, Xu Qing said, "Go and have a look. I'm going to junior high school next year, and I want to take a look at the fountain pen."

"Well, my fountain pen always leaks ink. I want to buy one too."

Xu Hong also said: "We buy it with our own money."

The two were afraid that their mother would think it was a waste of money, so they spoke quickly.

How could Li Fengmei not know where her daughter got the money? It must be the pocket money Li Xiuyuan gave them.

"Keep your money for yourselves, and mom will buy it for you."

Xu Hong and Xu Qing were very happy, and Xu Lan and Xu Lei next to them were also clamoring to go.

But there were a lot of people in the mall today, and they are still too young. I was afraid they would get lost in the crowd and couldn’t find their way home, so I didn’t take them with me.

Li Fengmei took some delicious food from the things Li Xiuyuan brought to stop the two little ones from making trouble.

Four people rode two bicycles and headed towards the First Department Store in Beijing. The buses must be crowded with people now, so it would be better to ride a bicycle. Although it is cold, it is fast.

They soon arrived at the department store, parked their bicycles, and looking at the crowded people at the entrance, Li Xiuyuan and Li Fengmei each held one of their children and began to squeeze in.

After squeezing in, they were stunned to see the huge crowds of people queuing to buy things. How long will the queue last?!

Finally, Li Xiuyuan took advantage of his height and led the way to the cloth counter. When he saw some colorful and fashionable cloth, Li Fengmei bought some. Then she squeezed to the shoe counter and bought a new pair of shoes for Li Xiuyuan and his three daughters.

Li Xiuyuan didn't want it, as he had a lot of shoes in his space, all bought in Hong Kong. But Li Fengmei insisted on buying him one, saying it was New Year and everyone had to wear new clothes. She didn't want to buy him clothes, because the clothes Li Xiuyuan was wearing were very new, all made this year, so she just bought him a pair of shoes.

Then they squeezed to the stationery counter, and Li Xiuyuan bought a Hero pen and ink, as well as various notebooks for each of his two cousins.

If Li Fengmei hadn't pulled them aside, the three of them would not have left the stationery counter.

Then they went to other counters to take a look, and when the four of them felt that they had bought almost everything, they squeezed out.

After coming out, everyone looked embarrassed. They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Everyone was sweating. Xu Qing's braids were messed up, Li Fengmei and Xu Hong's hair was also messy, and although Li Xiuyuan had short hair, his shoes were left with several footprints.

After several people squeezed outside, they all felt relieved. Xu Qing even said interestingly: "I finally experienced the feeling of having my head squeezed flat!"

Xu Qing is not tall, and her head is just below the adults' shoulders. Isn't that squeezing her head?

Everyone laughed again when they heard this. A middle-aged woman nearby said, "So many people have even lost their shoes. They are still looking for shoes inside, but where can they find them with so many people?"

Then someone else joked, "Then there must be a lot of people selling shoes today."

Li Xiuyuan turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was Zhao Dantong's mother.
