Lin Chuxia shook her head; it wasn’t that she was unwilling to spend money, but in that era, giving a longevity lock or a silver bracelet was already very precious. If she gave both, what would others think? How would the other party return the favor in the future?
Qin Yang knew Lin Chuxia’s concerns and whispered in her ear, "Then let’s choose the silver bracelet. If you like the other items, we can buy as many as you want when we have a baby."
Even though they had been married for so long, Lin Chuxia still blushed when discussing this topic outside.
She gave him a glance and then asked the salesperson to write up the bill.
Qin Yang was captivated by her shy and coy demeanor.
They had reunited after some time apart last night and naturally made love, but it was not as unrestrained as it would have been in their own home in the housing compound.
He really needed to take his wife back to the housing compound soon.
After purchasing the gifts, the pair left the Department Store.
In the car, Lin Chuxia continued to admire the pair of little bracelets.
"This year, there will be many more children around us—the Lanlans, The Xiaowus, my sister-in-law’s... How about we give each child a pair of identical silver bracelets? Then we can see a bunch of little radish heads..."
She didn’t finish her sentence when the car suddenly braked hard, jolting her body forward and interrupting her.
Qin Yang quickly checked on her, "Are you okay, Xiaxia? Did you hit anywhere?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head; she had the habit from her future life of always wearing a seatbelt whether driving or riding, so she only felt a slight pressure on her shoulder and it didn’t hurt.
Her gaze then landed on the woman in front of the car.
It was this woman who had suddenly dashed onto the road from the side, and if it weren’t for Qin Yang’s timely braking, they would have hit her.
Now, the woman probably realized the danger too, her face paled for a moment from the scare. Seeing the car stopped, she had the audacity to curse, "How do you drive, blind or what?"
Knowing she was in the wrong, she quickly picked up her basket and ran away without even daring to take another look at the people in the car.
Qin Yang’s attention was all on Lin Chuxia; once he saw she was fine, he felt relieved.
He frowned upon hearing the woman’s curse, but considering basic decency, he let it go since she had already run off.
Lin Chuxia spoke indifferently, "Don’t mind her. Are you okay?"
Qin Yang shook his head and started the car back on the road.
Meanwhile, Li Dongmei, carrying a basket full of vegetables, expertly turned through two alleys and stopped at the entrance of a house.
The door of the house wasn’t completely shut, and one could easily see the elderly woman washing clothes in the courtyard.
"Elder lady, why are you washing clothes by yourself again?"
She called out and familiarly pushed open the door to enter.
