Chapter 68 Going to the County Town to Buy New Year's Goods

Shen Dong didn't know if Shen Nan and Li Chenfeng were really dating, but he would be happy to see them get together.

When he and Shen Min went to Shen Weimin's place for dinner that evening, they looked at Shen Nan and revealed expressions that showed they had seen through his secret.

But in Shen Nan's eyes, the younger brother and sister were acting strangely today, looking at her as if they were possessed.

Shen Min tried to ask Shen Nan several times, but Shen Dong stopped her with a look.

It's not good for bystanders to point this out; let the parties involved speak for themselves.

After dinner, Shen Dong didn't rush to leave and started chatting with Shen Weimin about everyday things.

Although there's no busy farming season during this time, the land still needs to be hoeed and turned over frequently, and Shen Weimin does all these things.

"Brother, I heard your factory is giving out 20 yuan bonuses for the New Year?" Shen Nan asked, trying to change the subject after listening to them talk about things in the fields.

"How did you know? Your aunt didn't mention it at dinner!"

Shen Dong asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Um... Never mind how I know, I'm just asking you, is it true?" Shen Nan hesitated for a moment, not wanting to reveal that the source of the information was Li Chenfeng, and continued to ask.

"Yes, your information is correct, but 20 yuan is the minimum, the maximum is 50 yuan!"

"50?!"

Everyone in the family looked surprised.

"Brother Dong, I don't want 50, just give me five yuan, okay?" Shen Hui asked playfully from the side.

"Children shouldn't interrupt adults," Shen Nan admonished, then stared wide-eyed incredulously and asked, "Dongzi, really that much?"

"It's absolutely true, my aunt is right here, would I lie?"

Hu Aiping had just finished clearing the dishes when a worried look appeared on her face: "Dongzi, 20 yuan is already a lot. You don't earn money easily, so we can't give it all to everyone. 50 yuan is really too much!"

"Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, I know what I'm doing. It's 50 per person."

"You scared me!" Shen Nan exclaimed, patting his chest as if he were nervous. Then, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his head and chuckled.

After talking for a while, they heard someone coming from outside.

"Dongwa, I've been looking for you." Li Shangen walked into the house with a smile.

"Uncle, please sit down, I'll get you some water!" Hu Aiping greeted him.

"No need, I came to see Dongwa, I'll just say a few words and leave, don't bother." Li Shangen stopped Hu Aiping, who was about to pour water, and then spoke to Shen Dong.

"Dongwa, it's almost the end of the year, and everyone came to me wondering if we could show a movie again before the new year. It's been two months, so we're wondering if we could arrange it again. But everyone also said that if it's too much trouble, then forget it, we can't disturb the projectionist's work."

Shen Dong was worried that something might be wrong and that things might not go smoothly. He thought they were looking for him for some reason.

Showing movies? That would be so easy.

However, Shen Dong didn't agree immediately. Instead, he frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying, "Okay, that's fine. I'll go and talk to them."

Li Shangen thought it was really difficult, so he hurriedly said, "Dongwa, if this is difficult, then forget it. It's not like you absolutely have to see the movie."

"It's alright, Grandpa, this is easy to handle."

"Okay, I'll go tell everyone. Weimin, niece-in-law, you guys are busy, I'll head over first."

Li Shangen smiled, greeted him, and left.

"Dongzi, I noticed you haven't said anything for a while. Is this a difficult situation?" Shen Weimin asked after Li Shangen left.

"Don't worry, Uncle. This might be a bit troublesome for others, but it's not a problem for me."

Then he explained to Hu Aiping, "The projectionist who came last time is Wu Yang's older brother."

Hu Aiping had a look of sudden realization; she really didn't know that.

Once they understood this connection, they realized that showing the movie would indeed be much easier.

"Uncle, Aunt, the factory is closed tomorrow, let's go to the market to buy New Year's goods!"

"A region? That's too far. A county will do!"

"Mom, I want to go, I want to go!" Shen Hui's eyes lit up when he heard that he wanted to go to a certain region, and he kept shaking Hu Aiping's arm.

"Dongzi, didn't we buy the pig for the New Year last time? We don't have any other big items. What else do we need to buy?" Shen Weimin asked with a smile, looking at his usually decisive nephew.

"Uncle, it's Chinese New Year, so let's have a happy time. Xiaohui hasn't been to the area in a long time, so let's all go and have some fun."

Shen Nan was naturally very eager to go, and together with Shen Hui, they persuaded their parents and went to their grandfather's house with Shen Dong and Shen Min.

The two elderly people didn't want to go, feeling that the area was too far, so they asked Shen Weiguo to take the children with him. However, the children kept persuading them, so everyone prepared to go together happily.

After receiving a definite answer, the children happily went back to their rooms to start planning what to buy tomorrow.

Shen Dong also took Shen Min home.

After holding back all night, Shen Min suddenly started talking.

"Brother, are we really going to the region tomorrow? I have so many things I want to buy!"

"Brother, why did you give them so many bonuses? Their salaries are already quite high. You should save more money. Your wife's family isn't well-off, so you should help them out more."

"elder brother..."

Shen Dong quickly interrupted, "Hurry up and think of something to buy. It's getting dark, and we'll be going to bed soon. We have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Shen Min then began to consider it.

The next morning, Shen Changping and his entire family set off in a grand procession.

They arrived at the commune and originally wanted to borrow a tractor from the agricultural machinery station, but after thinking about it, they realized there wasn't enough room for all of them, so they borrowed a truck from the supply and marketing cooperative, laid dry hay in the back, and went to the region.

After a bumpy two-hour ride, we finally caught a glimpse of the outline of Pengcheng's city walls in the distance.

The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, including vendors carrying loads and well-dressed city dwellers.

Once we entered the city, the festive atmosphere gradually intensified, and everywhere was bustling with activity.

Upon arriving in the area, Shen Dong instructed the driver to head towards the department store. Although the people in the car were not very familiar with each other, Shen Dong had memories from his previous life, so he pointed in the direction and told the driver to go there.

"Dongzi, you've been here before? Why do you seem so familiar with this place?"

"Uncle, Mom brought me here once before, and I remembered it!" Shen Dong said vaguely.

"Really? I don't remember." Shen Weiguo was about to say something when Shen Dong interrupted him, "Look, we're here!"

The group, dressed in nice clothes, got out of the car, dusted themselves off, and stood at the entrance of the department store, full of anticipation.

The department store is currently the tallest building in Pengcheng, with nearly three floors, which looks quite spectacular.

Liu Xiuying hesitated for a moment, then looked at her dusty clothes and the pedestrians on the street, and said to Shen Dong, "Dongzi, you guys go in, your grandpa and I will wait outside."

"Grandma, let's go in together!" Shen Hui was very perceptive and immediately grabbed Liu Xiuying's arm, pulling her along.

Liu Xiuying beamed with joy. Seeing everyone smiling and inviting her to join, her hesitation lessened considerably, and she said, "Okay, let's go together!"
