Rebirth 1986

Chapter 250 The Big Purchase

After the family toured the Forbidden City with the tour group to take pictures, they turned to Daqianmen.

After wandering around there, Anqing found that there was actually a Nian Deji restaurant located here. Thinking of the fast food restaurants that will be popular all over the country in later generations, she proposed an idea to take the family in for a meal to try something new, but it was a pity. After losing nearly 300 yuan, I was still not satisfied with the food.

An Ning pouted and said, "Second sister, apart from this small cup of ice cream, these things are not tasty at all, and they are still so expensive."

"Yes, Second Sister, these are too expensive. Why are there so many people coming to eat them?" An Jie was also distressed. This meal cost more than 200 yuan, which is enough to eat as much as usual. It's that hamburger, which costs more than ten yuan each, with only one slice of meat and two steamed buns sandwiched in it. I don't know how to trick so many people into eating it.

An Qing looked at her younger brother and younger sister and laughed. She usually gave her two children a lot of pocket money, and it could even be said that she was very generous. When she has money, she spends a lot of money, which makes her very happy.

Seeing the distressed look of the two hearts, An Qing said with a smile: "Didn't we come to eat something new? If it's not good, just don't eat it next time. As for you saying it's so expensive, it's normal for people to eat it. Chinese people like everything. Pay attention to the scene and comparison, otherwise when people talk about the color of the dishes, why do they put the color at the top of the list?"

"Mom...want..." Ranran saw her mother talking happily with her uncle and aunt, and waved her little hand dissatisfiedly wanting ice cream.

An Qing hurriedly stopped him, this food was not suitable for him to eat.

Seeing this, Su Chengwen quickly stuffed the sundae into the hands of An Jie and An Ning, and said, "Stop complaining, both of you, eat this quickly, or the little things will make trouble again later."

The two kids just started eating, but Ran Ran, who was noisy and unhappy, was instantly appeased by a bowl of mashed potatoes.

After waiting to finish eating, several people felt that it was too greasy and felt uncomfortable in their stomachs. The family went out to eat Deji, and then went to the side of the road to buy a bowl of eight-treasure fermented glutinous rice soup and drank it. They felt much better.

"An Qing, it's getting late today, why don't we go back first and continue shopping tomorrow?" Su Chengwen saw that An Qing was tired from holding her in his arms, and said after taking it over to look at the sky.

An Qing looked at his watch, it was already past six in the afternoon, and there was nothing to do even if he went to other places, so he said, "Okay, then let's go back first and continue tomorrow."

The family took a taxi back to the hotel. On the way, An Ning and Ran Ran leaned against the car and fell asleep. When they got out of the car, Su Chengwen hugged Ran Ran, and An Qing held the somewhat confused An Ning so that she would not fall. Just when several people were about to enter the hotel, An Jie suddenly made a sound.

"Second sister, you are staying in a hotel today, and I will go back to the school dormitory."

"Why, isn't it good to wait until school starts the day after tomorrow?" An Qing asked.

"I thought that maybe everyone in the dormitory will be here tonight. I want to go to the dormitory to get acquainted with them first. After all, we are classmates who will get along with each other for four years. I don't want to be special. Otherwise, everyone will be familiar with them by then." I haven't seen it before, that's not good." An Jie explained.

An Qing also knew that An Jie was right when the school started. Those students in the dormitory would be the people he would get along with every day in the future. It is a good thing to get to know each other early, so she didn't stop her, and said directly: Let your brother-in-law take you back to school?"

"No need for second sister, the school is only a few minutes away, and I also remember the way, you and brother-in-law are tired after riding the train for a few days, so we can go out to play after a good rest at night." An Jie said no When An Qing continued to speak, she turned around and ran away, "Second Sister, go to bed early, I will come to the hotel to find you tomorrow morning!"

"This kid." An Qing laughed.

Su Chengwen looked at An Qing and said gently: "An Jie has grown up, he is also a 20-year-old boy, you don't have to worry about him everywhere, he knows how to deal with many things, let's go, let's go in first, look at An Ning He and Ranran are both sleepy, let them rest first."

"Ah, brother-in-law, you call me..." An Ning opened her eyes and looked at Su Chengwen in a daze.

An Qing and Su Chengwen laughed at the same time. After they entered the hotel with two little guys, one big and one small, they opened a room for An Ning alone, and after sending her in to rest, they gave her a room as dirty as a mud monkey. After scrubbing for a while, the two of them also felt tired, took a shower, hugged each other and said some thoughtful words, and then fell asleep.

For the next two days, An Jie played around the capital with An Qing and the others during the day, and returned to the school dormitory at night.

An Qing learned from An Jie that there were not eight beds in their dormitory, but he had only six people, two of whom were locals from the capital, and the others were from other places like An Jie. On the third night, An Qing asked An Jie to invite the four of them to have a meal together. After getting along with each other during the dinner, he felt that the five boys were easy to get along with, so he was relieved.

Those boys were all envious of An Jie having such a beautiful sister, especially An Qing's concern for An Jie made them a little jealous, so after the meal, those boys also followed An Jie's mouth, simply Calling An Qing a sister, and Su Chengwen naturally became a brother-in-law.

An Qing has no doubts about this, but rather likes the vigor of these big boys.

"Second Sister, we will start military training tomorrow, are you going back too?" An Jie asked while eating.

An Qing laughed, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law and I bought the train tickets for tomorrow night. During the day we are going to go out for a stroll and buy some souvenirs... It's just a gift to go back, not only mom and brother, but also your brother Xu, Zhao Big Brother, Sister Tian Yun, they all have a share..."

"Then how about I ask for leave to accompany you tomorrow?" An Jie said immediately.

"That can't be done. What do you mean by asking for leave just after school starts? Don't worry, your brother-in-law and I will just hang around." An Qing refused.

Su He, An Jie's classmate in the capital, suddenly said: "Sister An Qing, you want to buy something, then you and your brother-in-law can go to Wangfujing and Xidan. You can go to Dashilan Street and Laozi Street. Although the things there are a bit expensive, they are more authentic, and there are many special products in the capital, such as autumn pear paste, Poria cocos pancakes, and weaving blankets. If it is a play piece, you can also buy cloisonne and lacquer carvings, which are very suitable for gifting.”

"En, I got it, thank you Su He." An Qing took a look at the chubby boy, it seems that the boy's family conditions should be good, otherwise he wouldn't be fond of these things.

That Su He touched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words, and smiled honestly on his fat face.

Waking up early the next night, An Qing's family of four followed Su He's instructions and went to those places.

Compared with the scenic spots I went to before, these business districts are undoubtedly much more prosperous. Although the courtyards of the old capital are still preserved around, high-rise buildings are not uncommon, especially after arriving at Wangfujing, there are many foreign brands hanging there. The billboards, the crowds walking through are also more open in terms of dress than in City A, Anqing even saw black silk skirts, something that would never appear in City A at present.

Su Chengwen has been abroad, and has seen more prosperous street scenes than this before, and An Qing has the experience of two generations, so he is not curious about the excitement around him at all, but the little girl An Ning keeps staring around. Look, it feels fresh when you see something you haven't seen before.

However, she has been nestled in Su Chengwen's arms, and now, listening to the noise around her, she poked her head out and looked out. When she saw the person selling candied haws on the side of the road, she looked eagerly at the strings of red and attractive haws. Candied haws, twisted around and called out, "Baba...Tangtang..."

"It's Dad, not Papa." Su Chengwen corrected with a dark face.

"Papa...Tangtang..." The little guy was persistent.

"It's Dad!"

The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, and after a while, Xiao Ran's mouth narrowed, and his eyes were full of water, which meant "I'll cry for you if you're not a papa".

An Qing laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and An Ning also covered her mouth and snickered. Her brother-in-law has always had nothing to do with her little nephew. With her second sister by her side, she can't roar or hit her, and Xiao Ranran doesn't care at all. Not afraid of him, every time he can do all kinds of things to make him helpless, after a long while, Anqing said happily: "Don't be serious with Ranran, it's good that he can make people at such a young age, correct it slowly, Be good, come to mom, let's buy candied haws to eat."

The little guy immediately slipped into An Qing's arms, and when it was over, he stretched out his little hand to hit Su Chengwen, and said in a childish voice, "Baba is bad..."

Su Chengwen's face was full of black lines, he gritted his teeth at the little guy who had been staggered by An Qing to buy candied haws, brat, wait until he grows up, he must take care of him when his wife is not at home After a meal, it is impossible to establish his majesty as a father!

That's what I said, but when he saw An Qing paying for candied haws and the little guy grabbed her trouser legs and almost fell beside her, Su Chengwen still stepped forward quickly, stretched out his big hand and directly grabbed Ran Ran into his arms, and then stretched out his hand to grab the candied haws. Passed a bunch of candied haws to the little guy's mouth, watching him lick it with disgust and drool all over his body...

After walking around Wangfujing, Anqing and the others went to Xidan and Dashilan again, and bought a lot of things, such as autumn pear paste, Poria biscuits, and crispy candies. These are packed in oil paper and can be used as souvenirs As gifts, besides, Anqing also bought a few characteristic woven blankets from the old capital, and some small snuff bottles. These snuff bottles are just a plaything, and they can be given to the older generation like Jiang Yimin when they go back.

Waiting for the purchase to be completed, An Qing held Ran Ran in one hand, and An Ning in the other, while Su Chengwen carried an oversized suitcase, and the family of four embarked on the return train.
