Walking between the rows of shelves, Qi Jiejie remembered how he had to carefully compare the prices and weights of everything with his roommates. Those small pickled noodles were something he had to look at every time he came here, along with the biscuits and some dried fruits. They were all considered to be rather luxurious foods at the time, since everyone didn't have much living expenses.

Qi Ju remembered that he would always come here to buy some laundry soap and other things he could use with the money he had saved from a semester before his holiday to help his mother wash and wash the sheets. Qi JIang had once wanted to buy some potato chips, but he had refused, and Qi JIu pouted and followed behind Qi JIang, spitting out words like that he would not care about the price when he had money to buy things in the supermarket, and would only buy expensive things when he had money. Qi JIang thought that Qi JIu was very cute at the time, but in his heart, he didn't feel like it at all.

He first went to the clothing store on the second floor to get clothes for his family, bought a large backpack, then went to the food area on the first floor to buy all kinds of small foods.

The afterglow of summer was not dazzling. Qi Yuan leaned against the window and thought about his own thoughts: Would he tell Mom and Dad about the prize?

Qi Zhengyuan thought and thought, and after thinking a lot, decided that it was better not to tell his parents. His parents had always wanted to build a small courtyard for his grandma, and they all knew that these kids had to go to school for a long time every year, so it would definitely be very eye-catching if they spent so much money all of a sudden. He put the money in the bank first, thinking that he had no investment ability, so he would first buy a house that was suitable for him, then give the money to his parents when he had the opportunity to, and now that the kids were spending so much on school, he would find a chance to secretly subsidize himself.

The bus stopped at the back of their house, and as soon as he got off the bus, he saw his grandma sitting in the shade of a tree next to them, enjoying the shade of the trees. He was very happy that his grandma would come to stay for a long time every year, with her dexterous hands and embroidered bags and pillows. Grandmother also liked to make cotton jacket and cotton pants for the elder and the youngest in the family. This kind-hearted old man had truly passed away from old age, walking through a difficult but praiseworthy life in his sleep. Qi Zheng could still remember that in 2008, he had received bad news and rushed home for more than a thousand miles.

"Grandma, grandma!" They got off the car and shouted as they carried their stuff.

When Grandma heard Qi Chuan's shout, she stood up and walked over to him. "Hey! Cha Cha! You're back!"

Qi Xiang quickly walked forward a few steps and held her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, when did you arrive?"

"I came this morning. Your mom said that you will be back today. I think you will be back soon. I'm waiting for you here."

"Grandma, let's go home and see what good stuff I bought for you."

"Alright." Her grandma answered with a smile.

Qi Zheng supported his grandmother and said goodbye to the neighbors before returning home. Mama Qi took Qi Yinfeng and the other two to the peanut field to pluck the grass, while Grandma was the only one in the house. Qi Zhengyuan entered the house with Grandma and found the short-sleeved old woman's shirt that he bought for her and helped her change into it. Qi Zhengyuan advised his grandma that he would have time to work after school, and when the time came, he would buy more good things for his grandma. When his grandma heard this, she told him to study hard, that it would not be easy for him to get into a university, that he would have to find a good job after studying, and then buy things for himself.

Then she and her grandma tidied up the house, said hello to her grandma, and rode the bicycle to the peanut field.

Less than an acre of peanut field, mother Qi and her three children pulled half of it out. Qi Yuan greeted his mother and three sister-in-law, helping to pull the grass while saying, "Mother, let's make some extra dishes tonight. I'll call grandpa and grandma over. Let's greet grandma."

Hearing this, Mama Qi said, "That's fine too, your grandma got angry at home before coming here this time, we made a lot of noise so that she can be happy."

Qi Yuan heard this and said, "Is it still because of First Uncle?"

Mother Qi sighed, "Yeah, your uncle told your uncle that your grandmother would stay in the two families, but your uncle didn't want your grandmother to stay there. Your uncle even moved his luggage to your uncle's house, but your aunt blocked the door, and everyone in the village pointed out that your grandmother was so angry that your uncle wanted your grandmother to stay there for a few days." "Yes, your uncle told your uncle that your grandmother would stay in the two families, but your uncle didn't want your grandmother to stay in the house for now."

Qi Xiang said, "Didn't you say that two of your uncles signed a maintenance agreement when you were in the middle? Why don't you find two of your uncles to speak? "

Mother Qi said, "Your two uncles are all relatives of your aunt, they're both from the same village, once your aunt returns home and complains about it, her mother goes to find you and your aunt, then your uncle won't dare to say more. Your uncle is having a hard time. I told your uncle to let your grandmother stay with us first. "

Qi Xiang said, "Then my aunt didn't say anything?"

Mother Qi said, "Your aunt's cousin, Jingyue, went to look after her. Your cousin's mother-in-law couldn't wait to serve her because she gave birth to a daughter, so she couldn't help but call her over."

Qi Yuan's maternal grandma was now seventy-six years old, and was prone to illness when she was old. Qi Yuan's maternal grandma and eldest aunt helped to pay for her two uncles' work, and this time, her grandma came because eldest uncle didn't want her grandma to live in his house, and eldest aunt was a very mean person, and was very stingy when she said that eldest aunt's sister-in-law gave birth to her children, and eldest aunt took twenty eggs for her first aunt to drink. That should be in 2011, when both of them were married, they would get two hundred yuan's worth of eggs.

Qi Zhengyuan calculated what he was going to do for dinner. He told his mother to help her pull up the grass as soon as possible, and then went home to eat early while he cooked some delicious dishes.

He first rode home to pick up the gifts he bought for his grandparents, then went to his grandparents' house to tell them to come over for dinner.

It was already past five o'clock, and in the summer, rural dinners were usually eaten late. This point was not very hot anymore, and most of the villagers were busy working in the fields. Grandfather, who was over seventy years old, would walk around the hill every evening.

Qi Yuan entered the door, but before his grandma could prepare dinner, his grandpa had already gone out for a walk. Qi Yuan took out the two summer shirts she had bought for his grandpa and grandma, and his grandma looked at him and said, "Don't buy anything for us, you have plenty of money to spend in the future."

Qi Gang coaxed his grandmother, "This little bit of money is nothing. In the future, when I earn more money, I'll buy better things for you and my grandfather."

"Alright, alright." His grandma said that he was spending money randomly, but when she saw that the gift he bought for her was still small, her eyes narrowed. Old people were like that, afraid that their children would spend more, and still like to think of them wherever they went.

Qi Hong was watching TV in his house, and when he heard Qi Xiang talk, he hurried over. Qi Xiang gave him the little gift he bought for him. Qi Hong opened it and looked at it, and said in surprise, "Sister Tan, how did you know I wanted to buy this toy?"

In the bag was a Transformer toy, it could be dismantled or deformed, the item was not big, but the price was not cheap. In the days that Qi Hong stayed at Qi Xiang's house, he repeated it several times, and when Qi Xiang heard it, he picked it up from the bottom of his heart. This time, he went to the supermarket and bought it.

Seeing that his grandma was carefully folding and putting away his new clothes, he said to his grandma, "Grandmother, my grandma is here this morning. I want to invite you and grandpa to our house for dinner tonight."

"Your grandmother is here? "Alright, alright. It's been a long time since I've been here. You can pick two gourds later and bring them back with you."

While talking, Grandma went to the yard to pick two silk melons, found a convenient bag, cut some ripe grapes with a pair of scissors, and put them in the basket of the car. "We'll go when your grandpa comes back," she said.

Qi Xiang took his leave and went next door to his third uncle's house. Qi Tao, who was at home, agreed to have dinner at home that night. He thought that Qian Qian had gone to Er Nu's house after the tutoring class was over, so he rode the bicycle to Er Nu's house to eat something good with Qian Qian.

As soon as he entered the house, Big Yellow, who was lying on the ground next to the door, stood up. Seeing that his uncle was talking in his house, he didn't pay much attention to him, but when he arrived at the door of Second Grandma's house, he heard the sharp voice of the aunt, "That's not your own, why are you living with us? What's her name? It can't be that his surname is Qi, right? Do you think it's easy to raise a child like this, eh? "Don't blame me for the way I talk, let's live together with dad and mom, we earned the family's water and grain together, I'm not willing to be raised like this."

The little uncle didn't say anything. Qi Yuan knew that the little uncle didn't usually dare to talk loudly to his little aunt because of his strong brother-in-law. It seemed that Qianqian hadn't been living very happily at her second grandma's house for the past two days.
