Chapter 352: The Old Lady's Wish (Outburst)
Mrs. Tao said with a smile: "Actually, grandma! I don't have any big wishes. I just want to see my idols, listen to ditties, and watch plays! But, there are only a few people I like, and they all
He's an actor, so it's hard to hire him."
Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing almost laughed when they heard that someone as old as Mrs. Tao also had her own idol and wanted to watch the show.
Li Qingqing restrained herself and asked Mrs. Tao: "Grandma, who is your idol? Whose ditty do you want to listen to and whose play do you want to watch?"
"There's a character called Aunt Xiang in Huangmei Opera. There's also Chi Danian from Peking Opera! Forget it, it's useless to talk. They are famous actors and they won't come to a small place like ours to act."
Li Qingqing wanted to fulfill Mrs. Tao's birthday wish, but it didn't work only if she had money. This required connections and money to hire Peking Opera master Chi Danian and Huangmei Opera's Hua Danxiang Aunt.
"Grandma, besides them, how about I hire a troupe from the provincial capital for you?"
Old Mrs. Tao knew that it was really difficult for her to ask Li Qingqing to invite Chi Danian from Peking Opera and Xiang Yi from Huangmei Opera. She didn't want to offend Li Qingqing's good intentions, so she nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine! Let's hire an opera troupe."
, I haven’t listened to a play in a long time.”
Li Qingqing felt a little regretful in her heart. She was a filial woman. She wanted to fulfill Mrs. Tao's wish at her 80th birthday party. But she really couldn't do what the old lady said.
After arriving at "Qinwan Shopping Mall", Li Qingqing took the old lady directly to a Tang suit store. This store was discovered when she and Zhao Xu were shopping in the mall that day.
The old lady doesn't like to wear modern clothes. She likes to wear cheongsam, Tang suit, and other clothes that were worn by ladies in the past.
After Li Qingqing took the old lady to this Tang suit store, she found that the price of each set of clothes was very expensive, with the cheapest set costing several thousand yuan.
The Tao family is currently in a lawsuit with the "Tianwang Group" and will have to pay at least hundreds of millions of yuan.
After Li Qingqing took over the Tao family, the "Rising Sun Group", "Wang Family", "Shen Family", "Yan Family", etc. signed a large order of no less than 300 million with the Tao Family, and even the money was transferred to the Tao Family first.
This move is undoubtedly helping the Tao family secretly. Therefore, the Tao family is no longer short of money on the books, but the lawsuit with the "Tianwang Group" is still a troublesome matter.
Li Qingqing's own company now has an annual income of at least 5 million. It made nearly 4 million in profit in the first half of the year. If orders are popular in the second half of the year, it is likely to hit tens of millions. Therefore, Li Qingqing has also weathered the business crisis.
crisis.
Spending such a small amount of money for Mrs. Tao is a trivial matter.
The owner of the Tang suit store said that their store mainly sells Tang suits and cheongsam, and has a special production factory. Each piece of clothing is tailor-made.
The old lady chose two cheongsams and a double-breasted Tang suit. Together, they cost more than 20,000 yuan.
Li Qingqing asked the store to hurry up and pay for the rush fee. In this way, a total of 30,000 yuan was spent to buy the old lady two cheongsams and a double-breasted women's Tang suit.
"Qinwan Shopping Mall" is a comprehensive shopping mall integrating shopping, entertainment and food.
After picking out clothes for the old lady, Li Qingqing took Old Mrs. Tao to the roast duck restaurant in the shopping mall.
This roast duck is very authentic and the old lady likes it.
Besides, Li Qingqing also wants to buy clothes for Zhao Xu, her daughter, her father, her mother, and her sister.
When Zhao Xu heard that his wife Li Qingqing wanted to buy clothes for him, he was shocked and said to Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, didn't I just buy clothes a few days ago?"
Li Qingqing glanced at Zhao Xu and said, "Don't you know that women are addicted to buying clothes, and dressing their husbands handsome is a kind of enjoyment? What, you want to object?"
"I'm not against it, it's just that we have just finished living in poverty. Isn't it a waste of money?"
"It's because we came from hard times. Now we should learn to spend money more and work harder to make money. Otherwise, if we just make money without spending money, wouldn't we become a miser?"
Zhao Xu really didn't want to go shopping with a woman anymore. It was simply a chore. He shrugged and said helplessly: "Okay! But you can pick two items for me later. I'll wait for you in the restaurant, so I can accompany you."
Stay with grandma."
"Hey! Don't you usually have a normal relationship with your grandma? Why do you volunteer so much today?"
"When people get old, they are afraid of being alone. Besides, you also have to buy clothes for Dad, Mom and Miaomiao. I don't know how much time it will take to go shopping."
"I will do it as soon as possible. Then you should go and accompany grandma first and grab some things. I will do it as soon as possible, and it will only take about forty minutes."
Li Qingqing was able to compress the time into "forty minutes", which was really not easy for her who loves shopping.
Soon, Li Miaomiao and Li Guolong came to the mall together.
After Li Qingqing saw everyone gathered, she went to the men's clothing store and helped Zhao Xu pick out two shirts and a suit.
In Zhao Xu's opinion, aren't the suits he has bought the same these past few times? But Li Qingqing never tires of it.
After Zhao Xu finished buying clothes, he went to the restaurant of "Roast Duck Restaurant" alone.
Mrs. Tao was sitting there alone.
In Zhao Xu's impression, this old lady has always had the spirit of refusing to admit defeat.
People eventually grow old.
At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that Mrs. Tao was really old.
Zhao Xu walked slowly towards Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Tao's eyes were full of kindness, and she was no longer as domineering as before. It was like an elder looking at the younger generation dotingly.
"Zhao Xu, sit down! Why are you back so soon?" Mrs. Tao was in a good mood and asked Zhao Xu with a smile.
Zhao Xu smiled helplessly: "Grandma, you also know that we men don't like shopping. So, I asked Qingqing to help me buy my things first, and then I came back to accompany you."
"It's rare that you can still think of me, a bad old woman."
Zhao Xu didn't say anything, but picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Tao.
After Mrs. Tao took a sip of tea, she said with emotion: "Hey! I used to be so stubborn in the past. I always felt that I could do it and be able to shoulder everything in the Tao family. Now I can't do it anymore if I don't accept it! I really feel a little powerless."
"Grandma, now that Qingqing is helping the Tao family, wouldn't it be better for you to enjoy your old age in peace and happiness?"
The old lady smiled and said, "I just thought about it. It's all my fault for being blind and not recognizing this piece of diamond. This time, if you hadn't secretly helped the Tao family, the Tao family would have been doomed!"
The old lady is not confused. She certainly knows that Zhao Xu must be secretly helping the "Xu Sun Group", "Wang Family", "Shen Family" and "Yan Family" to sign a cooperation agreement with the Tao Family.
