Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 445

Lin Lan stated that each child would only get 1 Yuan worth of items. With how he was spending it now, he was already over the budget and he still hadn’t gotten his candied haws.

Lin Lan glanced over and saw that Maisui was struggling with a book about clothing tailoring and a book about delicate things that were now being criticised. It was quite surprising that this book had not been banned; after all, it reflected the use of feudalism, decadence and capitalist hedonism.

Maisui’s book was slightly more expensive because hers had pictures. Both books added together were more than 1 Yuan, but she really wanted them.

Erwang’s books were cheaper as he could buy 3 books with 1 Yuan, despite the fact that he had to leave behind the other one.

Upon seeing their dilemma, Lin Lan felt like that personalities were definitely hard to break. The good thing about them now was that they were on the right track, pursuing their interests with passion. Since that was the case, Lin Lan was sure that they would be able to achieve something good in the future.

“Erwang, which one do you think I should choose?” Maisui was troubled.

Erwang was not at all interested in either of the two books and he just wanted to express that leaving behind any of the two made no difference to him. However, he was worried that Maisui would ask him to leave some of his books behind in order to add up their budget to cover the cost of her book. Hence, he simply chose the tailoring book, saying that it was a poor choice.

“We don’t even have fabric right now and you want to make clothes? Besides, why are you learning how to tailor? You’re still so young, so you can buy this in the future when you grow older.”

Maisui shook her head, “But I want to see it. This way, I can alter our current clothes to look better.”

Now, they were all dressed in items that looked like sacks, which looked very horrendous. At any rate, she couldn’t count on her mother’s craftsmanship either, so if she wanted prettier clothes, there was no other way but to do it herself.

Han Qingsong had already carried Xiaowang on his shoulders, “One last minute.”

Maisui started to panic as she sent a pleading look to Lin Lan, wanting her mother to help figure out a solution for her.

Lin Lan rolled her eyes and pointed at Xiaowang. The youngest had only bought one book and had some money left.

Maisui immediately ran over to discuss with Xiaowang.

Xiaowang agreed generously, “Okay.”

Maisui got her wish and immediately became a lot happier.

Erwang felt slightly regretful as he started to question himself as to why he didn’t think of it. Had he known earlier, he would have agreed with Xiaowang even sooner.

He glanced over at his parents.

Lin Lan smiled and said, “Erwang, the first person who came up with an idea is a genius; the second one to do the same is merely an imitation and the third occurrence is no longer anything special.”

Erwang scratched his head and had no choice but to give up, but this also planted the seed of innovation and creativity in his mind.

After that, they went sight-seeing— they looked at schools, government compounds before finally arriving at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Lin Lan hadn’t seen Dawang and Sanwang on the way, but she wasn’t worried as she knew that the child had often come to the County.

They went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative first and Lin Lan bought Xiaowang a 21-hole harmonica. It was a product of the Dongfeng brand and it was new.
