Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

After eating the rice noodles, Lin Changqing took his mother and sister to buy the necessary items.

"Mom, is today the market day?"

Lin Changqing hasn't been back for more than two years, and he doesn't know if the market days have changed. If it were a market day, the streets would be even more lively.

He hasn't been to the market for a long time. Counting the time, it has been almost three years.

There were supermarkets abroad, but at that time, he had no money and rarely went to supermarkets.

It can be said that supermarkets are still a relatively trendy way of shopping in this era, and it is absolutely not available in China.

However, Lin Changqing did not think it was new. With his memories of his past life, he already knew what modern life was like.

"The market is not today. The market days have not changed. They are the same as before, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, once every half month."

Speaking of going to the market, Wang Caixia's eyes lit up. It wasn't that she was looking forward to going to the market, but she was more familiar with it.

On market days, there are a wider variety of things for sale and the prices are cheaper, so whatever she needs, she buys on market days.

"Oh. It's not market day. It doesn't matter. We'll go to the department store to buy things later. Mom, if you need anything later, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

"Sister, the same goes for you. Just tell me what you want."

Lin Changqing said to the two of them with a smile.

He has nearly three thousand yuan, and although prices are not very stable now, he can buy a lot of things.

Even if it turns three times and rings once, there is no problem.

"Brother, I want to buy something delicious!"

When Lin Wanting heard that Lin Changqing was going to buy something for her, the six-year-old girl only had delicious food in her mind.

"Tingting, there are still cakes and candies at home. They are enough for you to eat for a long time. You can't buy any more snacks."

Wang Caixia immediately stopped him, "Qingzi, you can't spoil Tingting like this. She already has a lot of delicious food. In the whole courtyard, no child can be treated like Tingting."

"Although you have some money, you can't spend it like this. You have worked hard to earn money, but if you spend it recklessly, how are you going to live in the future?"

The current salary is not very high. Even though Lin Fuxing earns more than 60 yuan a month, she spends it frugally.

Wang Caixia, who experienced the crazy price changes last year, knows that making money is not easy, so she wants her son to save some money.

When Lin Wanting heard her mother's words, her mood suddenly became depressed. However, she did not complain. She also knew that making money was not easy.

At the same time, she is also a sensible child and will do whatever her mother asks her to do.

Lin Changqing saw his mother Wang Caixia's serious expression and knew that she was worried about him, but he did not change his mind.

"Mom, the purpose of making money is to spend it. I promise I won't spend it recklessly."

"We all walk to the department store now, which is very inconvenient. It's just right that I will buy a bicycle later. With a bicycle, it will be very convenient whether it is traveling or visiting relatives."

"Bicycle? Qingzi, I heard that bicycles are very expensive and out of stock. Many people want to buy one and have to line up."

"I don't know if the department store has it. If you want to buy it, I won't stop you. After all, it's your money that's being used."

Wang Caixia did not stop her son from buying a bicycle. It would be more convenient for her son to have a bicycle when he goes out or goes to work.

When she thought that her family was the only one in the courtyard that bought a bicycle, she felt proud.

In the entire courtyard, no other child is more promising than his son.

"Then it's settled."

Lin Changqing still wanted to tell his mother to buy a sewing machine, but seeing his mother's expression, he knew that if he said it, she would probably keep trying to stop him.

So, he didn't say anything and planned to buy it secretly later.

"Well, it's up to you to decide."

Wang Caixia didn't have much objection either.

When Lin Wanting heard that she was going to buy a bicycle, her eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Lin Changqing's big hand and looked up at her brother in surprise.

"Brother, we want to buy a bicycle?"

"Yes! Do you like it, sister? If you buy a bicycle, I will take you to play with it!"

Seeing his sister staring at him with big eyes, Lin Changqing stopped walking, reached out and touched her head, which felt good.

Lin Wanting immediately felt Lin Changqing's warm big hand, and her head felt inexplicably comfortable.

"Great! We have a bicycle now."

When Lin Wanting got the exact answer, she couldn't help but jump for joy.

But she knew that a bicycle was a very valuable item.

This happened when she and her mother were going to the market. They saw someone riding a bicycle on the road and her mother told her that it was a bicycle.

At that time, after she knew about bicycles, she thought it would be nice if her family had one.

In that case, dad can take me with him on his bike.

However, she knew that bicycles were expensive and her family could not afford one.

So, this idea can only be buried in my heart.

She was a sensible child and knew that it was not easy for her parents to earn money, so she never expressed her thoughts.

Now, her elder brother actually said he wanted to buy a bicycle, which surprised her very much.

This way she can ask her elder brother to take her on his bike.

This time, she will become the envy of all the children in the entire courtyard.

By then, she can proudly tell everyone that she has a bicycle at home.

"Okay, Tingting, watch your step."

Lin Wanting was jumping up and down with joy, which made Wang Caixia unable to bear it and she couldn't help but remind her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting immediately stopped jumping, but her joy did not fade away.

The three of them walked towards the department store, talking and laughing. Because they were going to buy a bicycle, Lin Wanting was full of energy along the way and didn't complain at all. She didn't even say that she was tired and couldn't walk anymore.

After nearly an hour's walk, the three finally arrived in front of the department store.

"There are so many people!" It was Lin Wanting's first time in the department store. She was very curious and couldn't help looking around. If Lin Changqing hadn't grabbed her hand, she would have run over.

This was also Wang Caixia’s first time here. The department store was established after liberation. Usually she would go there to buy some daily necessities and things she needed during market hours.

I never thought of going to the department store to buy things. Even if I wanted to buy cheap food, it was Lin Fuxing who went to buy it.

She usually stays at home and rarely shows up in public.

"There are so many people, just like at a market. Qingzi, how about Tingting and I wait for you here, and you go in and buy it yourself?"

"I don't have anything to buy, just buy what you want."

While speaking, Wang Caixia revealed a hint of fear. It was her first time here and she was still a little timid.

She didn't know anything and was afraid that she would embarrass her son after she went in.

It would be even worse if you accidentally broke something.

Therefore, she felt that it was best for her to stay outside.

Lin Changqing had been to the department store before and had seen many crowded scenes, so he was not surprised by the current scene.
