Lin Ruoxi's eyes were filled with excitement. This was the first time she would be celebrating with her in-laws after she got married. For someone like her who valued family ties, it was naturally meaningful.
"How about this!" Yang Gongming said, "We didn't celebrate this festival in the past, so we didn't prepare anything. Since you guys are staying at home this year, we should go buy some mooncakes. Xuehua, after you finish your meal, go out with Pojun. This is a festival for our own family, so it's better to buy things ourselves. It won't be fun if we let the servants do it. "
"Okay, got it!" Guo Xuehua responded with a happy smile.
Yang Pojun was surprised. "Dad, why do I have to go too?"
Yang Gongming raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you unemployed? The lectures in the military academy haven't started yet. You have nothing to do anyway. Can't you do something like this?"
"That's not what I meant …"
Guo Xuehua said impatiently, "Why? Did I delay your important matters by asking you to go shopping with me?"
Yang Pojun quickly waved his hand and smiled awkwardly. "Of course not, I was just asking."
"That's more like it." Guo Xuehua was pleased and winked at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi understood. It seemed like her mother-in-law was good at taming her husband. She couldn't help but feel amused.
In the past, when Yang Pojun was still the commander of the Jiangnan military district, he was domineering and had a scary face. However, now that he had "retired", he became somewhat innocent.
In fact, it was mostly due to the change in Yang Pojun's state of mind. After going through all kinds of huge changes, Yang Pojun gave up many of his obsessions and returned to his original self.
Yang Gongming brought up his son personally, so he naturally wouldn't be too bad.
"Oh, right." Yang Gongming turned to look at Yang Cheng who was wolfing down his food. He didn't react to his grandson's ugly table manners at all. "Yang Cheng, bring Ruoxi and go with your mom. It's good for women to have a companion. You can be their driver and help them carry their things. "
Yang Cheng heard this. Wasn't he asking him to go shopping with Yang Pojun?
This was clearly arranged by the old man!
"Hey, old man, you …"
Before Yang Cheng could finish, Lin Ruoxi kicked Yang Cheng under the table and smiled. "Grandpa, don't worry, he will be happy to go."
As he spoke, he turned around to look at Yang Chen with a fake smile. "Isn't that right, Hubby?"
Yang Cheng swallowed his saliva and nodded with a stiff smile. "Of course, I'm happy to go …"
He couldn't help but have an uncomfortable thought in his heart. It seemed that he did have Yang Pojun's genes. Otherwise, why would he be so afraid of his wife?
After lunch, Yang Cheng obediently ran to the Yang Family's garage and drove a relatively ordinary Chevrolet family car. It was spacious and could store a lot of things.
In fact, although the Yang Family had a lot of money, they were pragmatic, so there were no super luxury cars in the garage. Except for a few sports cars, most of them were cheap and easy to use.
Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi were talking and laughing excitedly. They sat in the back seat and talked about some interesting topics that only women would find interesting.
And Yang Pojun naturally wouldn't choose to sit in the front with Yang Cheng. He directly sat in the last row and closed his eyes to rest.
Yang Chen drove all the way to a shopping mall outside of Beijing's Fourth Ring Road. It was bustling with traffic and it was bustling.
After all, tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival and many companies were on holiday. It was the peak of the crowd.
After parking the car, Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi got out of the car arm in arm. Yang Cheng also got out. But when he looked at Yang Pojun, he seemed to be frowning and didn't want to get out of the car.
"What's wrong with you? Get out!" Guo Xuehua turned around and said.
"You guys go ahead, I'll wait in the car," Yang Pojun said uncomfortably.
Guo Xuehua looked unhappy and said sourly, "Yo, Commander-in-Chief Yang, don't put on airs. Come out and take a walk. This is a place for commoners to go shopping, and you're dirtying your feet? Or is it a disgrace for you to go shopping with us women? "
Lin Ruoxi almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Her mother-in-law was really not to be trifled with.
As expected, Yang Pojun was so embarrassed that he hurriedly got out of the car for fear of being heard by passersby.
"What are you talking about? I didn't think that much."
"Humph, it's good that you didn't." Guo Xuehua rolled her eyes at him. She turned around and pulled Lin Ruoxi's hand with a smile, "Let's go, Ruoxi. Men care about their pride. Just ignore him."
Lin Ruoxi nodded in understanding. But when she turned around, she saw Yang Cheng was already eating fried rice cakes and ham sausages at a stall selling fried skewers. Her smile froze instantly.
"Mom, some men don't care about their pride …"
Guo Xuehua was confused. She followed Lin Ruoxi's gaze and saw that her son had slipped to the food stall.
Guo Xuehua couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw him happily taking out his money to buy fried skewers.
"Didn't he just have lunch? What's wrong with this kid's stomach?"
As they were talking, Yang Cheng suddenly waved at the three of them and shouted, "Wife, do you want two skewers? It's spicy! "
The moment he shouted, many passersby looked over in surprise.
Guo Xuehua hurriedly dragged Lin Ruoxi towards the market. She turned her head and said, "Let's go. Let's pretend we don't know each other."
Lin Ruoxi nodded in agreement.
Yang Pojun frowned, but there was nothing he could do. He could only follow Guo Xuehua to the market.
Yang Cheng, who was left behind, wasn't disheartened. He smiled and paid for the food. He grabbed a few fried skewers in each hand and strode towards the market.
The reason why they didn't go to a high-end department store and came to a place like this was mainly because they wanted to experience the lively atmosphere.
After entering the market, Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi walked in front. As long as they were interested in the small shops, they would go in and take a look.
Yang Cheng, on the other hand, wanted to try everything that was delicious and fun. Only Yang Pojun kept a straight face and felt uncomfortable, so he followed them silently without saying a word.
Unknowingly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to buy things that were originally just to buy moon cakes and some other things for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At first, Yang Cheng could still carry snacks in his hands, but later on, he could only carry all kinds of bags with both hands.
Yang Pojun wasn't spared either. However, the man's hands hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't carry too much, so he carried less.
Even so, Yang Pojun had never done something like carrying a woman's bags in his life. When he first carried the bags, his face was burning. He was afraid that Guo Xuehua would be unhappy, so he could only endure it.
It wasn't easy for him to reconcile with his wife. Yang Pojun was worried about the gains and losses, so he was more tolerant than before.
"Ruoxi, you're in the fashion industry, so you must know more than me. But I think that the clothes and bags made by those LV and Prada brands are really not as good as those from the street stalls, don't you think so?"
Guo Xuehua rubbed a leather bag of a small brand in her hands and said happily.
Although Lin Ruoxi knew that it wasn't that simple, after all, the use of those luxury goods wasn't just a matter of whether they looked good or not. Of course, she picked what her mother-in-law liked to hear and said, "In fact, the materials of those famous brands aren't that special. After all, it's just a brand effect. Moreover, there are many people who can design in this world. Those works that have just been designed by famous designers are copied and modified, so it's normal that they look better than the original."
"That's right, I look down on those young ladies and madams who love to show off branded bags all day long. They're covered in luxury goods from head to toe, and they even wear clothes that cost tens of thousands of yuan when they go out. So, I can't be bothered to go to gatherings when they invite me. I'm so happy that I'm being cheated of money. Isn't that crazy? "
"Yes, you're right, Mom …" Lin Ruoxi replied with a faint smile. She felt a little wronged in her heart. Wasn't she one of those women who only used luxury goods …
However, it wasn't to show off. It was just that those things weren't expensive to her. They were all things that she could use from her own department store!
It seemed that it was rare for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go shopping together. Moreover, it was an area that was frequented by ordinary people. The two women enjoyed the crowded atmosphere very much.
It was a pity that it was autumn and winter, and the days in the north were short. After shopping for nearly three hours, the sky in Yan Jing gradually darkened.
Seeing that it was almost time, the two women walked to the mooncake shop at the entrance of the market.
Looking at the luxurious packaging and exquisite mooncake gift boxes, Guo Xuehua naturally shook her head.
"These boxes are too wasteful. The money saved is not as good as making better quality mooncakes. I wonder how the mooncakes inside are wrapped up so tightly."
Lin Ruoxi pointed to the loose mooncakes at the side and said, "Mom, buy that. I've bought that mooncake before. It's quite delicious and not greasy."
"You've bought it before?" Guo Xuehua was stunned at first, but then she came to a realization and said, "You bought it for the children in the orphanage, right?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded, "I used to send it over every year, but this year in Yan Jing, it's too late."
Guo Xuehua smiled in satisfaction and said, "It's said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also fated in their previous lives. I'm opening an orphanage, and you're volunteering. If this isn't fate, then what is?"
Lin Ruoxi blushed and was too embarrassed to say anything. She pulled Guo Xuehua along to choose some simple packaging and different flavors of mooncakes. She was also very happy in her heart.
