Chapter 67: Sugar Plum really likes the TV!

Ji Pianran blinked, her long eyelashes quivering, as she looked at Gu Chen in a daze.

After a moment, countless small waves of warmth suddenly welled up in her sparkling eyes.

He was actually so attentive.

It turns out that he bought so many chestnuts just to keep his hands warm.

The chestnut seller was even more stunned by Gu Chen's actions and forgot to collect the money.

Good guy!

No wonder this kid can marry such a beautiful wife.

This is a real wife-spoiling!

He's amazing!

What woman wouldn't love a man like this?

Just eight yuan can keep his wife warm all day, he's a real expert in love!

What a good deal!

He smiled at Ji Pianran.

'Your husband is really good to you. Not to mention that he is handsome, he is also so attentive. It is really hard to find such a good husband these days.'

Without waiting for Ji Pianran to say anything, Gu Chen handed the boss the eight yuan with a smile.

'Congratulations on your good fortune and a happy new year!'

The boss enthusiastically replied, 'A happy new year and great fortune!'

Ji Pianran kept her head down, and the chestnuts in her pocket radiated warmth.

The warmth radiated from the tip of her fingers to the depths of her heart.

Gu Chen handed over the money and smiled at her.

'That's about it, let's go, we should go home.'

There was no denying that Gu Chen was very good-looking, with a well-defined face and big, deep, peach-coloured eyes.

For an instant, as he smiled at her, she suddenly felt like he was radiating light.

Ji Pianran's heart skipped a beat.

She blinked nervously and squeezed the warm roasted chestnuts in her pocket.

Undeniably, this feeling of warmth was really nice.

After running around for a while,

Tantan was no longer as lively as he had been in the morning. After all, he was just a child, and he soon became listless.

He was afraid that the little girl would catch a cold, so he unzipped his padded jacket and wrapped Tantan in his own clothes.

The family of three began walking towards home.

On the way home, they had to pass through a family area of a coal washing factory.

Coal washing factories were all workers, and most of them were couples who both worked in the factory, and their living conditions were relatively better.

So many people had TVs in their homes.

Gu Chen held Tang Tang in his arms and walked with his head bowed.

Completely unaware, the sleepy little girl was looking at the cartoon on TV through someone else's glass.

Although she didn't watch it for long, the image was so vivid that it made a deep impression on her.

It instantly dispelled her sleepiness.

'Daddy, what is that!?'

Tangtang looked up and pointed at the window of the house. On hearing this, the two of them hurriedly followed Tangtang's little hand and looked over.

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched.

'TV?'

He never would have thought that a child of more than two years old would be interested in the TV.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time she had seen it.

Tangtang's surprise turned into excitement.

She struggled to get out of Gu Chen's embrace.

'Daddy, I want to go and see, the cat inside is a policeman!'

The cartoon showing on the TV was none other than the animated film of the black cat police chief.

Gu Chen was terrified by her struggle, fearing that the child might fall, and hurriedly bent down to put her on the ground.

Then he saw the little girl tiptoe towards someone else's window.

Gu Chen and Ji Pianran hurriedly followed behind.

This family were all coal-washing factory workers, and they had a three-year-old child at home. It was now dinnertime, and the three of them were eating dinner while watching Black Cat Police Chief.

Tang Tang's eyes were glued to the TV screen as she watched Black Cat Police Chief.

'Daddy, this cat is so awesome!'

Seeing the longing in her daughter's eyes, Gu Chen felt a sharp pain in her heart for no reason.

Ji Piannan felt the same way, but what could she do? Obviously they had only just started living a good life, and it was simply not the time to buy a TV.

She bent down and reached up to stroke her daughter's head.

'Tantan, be a good girl, shall we go home? It's rude to stand under someone else's window like this.'

What she didn't say was that it wasn't just rude, it also made the family look pathetic.

Ji Piannan was stubborn, and she never needed or wanted anyone to feel sorry for her.

And she didn't want anyone to feel sorry for her child.

Besides, that kind of pity might even be tinged with ridicule.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang's dark eyes were filled with doubt.

It was obvious that she didn't quite understand why it was rude.

She looked at Ji Pianran, her young face full of innocence.

In a high-pitched voice, she said, 'Mom, then let's knock on the door and go in, okay?'

She really wanted to see a little longer, just a little while, even if it was just a minute.

Ji Pianran looked at her daughter's pleading face, and her heart almost broke.

But she still shook her head and said softly, 'No, but we can go home and play with wooden men.'

As she spoke, Gu Chen clearly saw the helplessness on her face.

Before he could say anything, she saw Tang Tang pout with a face full of grievances, and then she burst into tears.

Big teardrops fell straight down.

She really wanted to watch for a while, even if it was just for a little while.

She had never seen a cat that could walk before.

She really liked it.

Ji Pianran picked up the child and comforted her over and over again, her tone gentle and apologetic.

'Be a good girl, Tangtang. We're not buying a TV yet, but I promise you that one day, you'll be able to watch cartoons at home, okay?'

Looking at her daughter's grievances and her daughter-in-law's helplessness,

Gu Chen's heart ached once again.

There was no denying that people's lives were really different.

Some children are born into comfortable circumstances and can sit in a warm house, eating delicious food and watching cartoons.

But some children may not even be able to eat a full meal, let alone watch cartoons.

In her previous life, her daughter was unfortunately in the latter group because of her own stupidity.

In this life, she will do everything she can to ensure that her daughter becomes the former.

She will change her destiny!

She will give her a happy childhood and a complete and happy family!

Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran's serious expression and glanced over to her face.

'You go back with the child first, I'm going into town!'

He said, and without looking back, walked in the opposite direction.

Looking at his back, Ji Pianran had a hunch that Gu Chen was going to buy a TV!

She hurriedly called out to him, 'Hey, don't be rash.'

To be honest, it wasn't that she didn't care about the child, Tang Tang was flesh from her own bones.

A mother will only love her child more than she loves herself.

However, she did not feel that their current situation was good enough to spend thousands of yuan because of her child's preferences.

Although the current situation is good, it has only been good for a few days.

The road ahead is still long, and everything is unknown.

Before she finished speaking, Gu Chen's back had already disappeared around the corner.

It's almost time, he's in a hurry!

He's going into the city to buy a TV!

Today is New Year's Eve, and he wants to let Tantan watch cartoons and Jipianran watch the Spring Festival Gala!

He entered the city.

Fortunately, the shopping malls in the city did not close until 6 pm on New Year's Eve.

Gu Chen went to the electronics store without saying a word.

TVs were still sold mixed in with other appliances, and they were all rear-projection TVs.

They looked small and bulky, and were not comparable to TVs from later generations.
