Jiang Guoli's Self-Inflicted Misery
There weren't many people going to the cooperative store early in the morning, but there were two families waiting to buy pork belly, and Aunt Guo was behind them in line.
Unlike in the city, there were only few people buying meat here, so they usually had only a little bit available each day. The butcher wouldn't arrive early either; he would usually come around seven o'clock every day.
Naturally, Jiang Guoli wouldn't accompany them to wait. Instead, he took Jiang Mancang to buy eggs nearby. But how could the child be satisfied with just buying eggs at the cooperative store?
His gaze kept wandering around the counter, then he would demand candy one moment, firecrackers the next, and finally he wanted the slingshot that cost fifty cents. Jiang Guoli almost lost his patience every time and wanted to explode, but every time he looked up, he saw Su Xiaoxiao's teasing gaze, staring straight at him, as if waiting to see when he would lose his patience.
