Chapter 107 Shopping
Liu Xiaoru was a little hesitant when she heard the invitation.
Shopkeeper Luo chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I don't hold any grudge against you for saying bad things about me behind my back."
Now that the business has been completed, shopkeeper Luo does not seem to be as snobbish as previously guessed, but Liu Xiaoru feels a little embarrassed.
Liu Xiaoru originally wanted to just ignore the matter, but when she turned around, she saw Niu Niu looking at them with her big eyes open.
Liu Xiaoru felt that she should set a good example in front of Niuniu. She gritted her teeth and said to Shopkeeper Luo, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything about you behind your back before."
Shopkeeper Luo was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that Liu Xiaoru was so serious, it was hard to say those casual jokes.
"It's okay, you didn't mean what you said. Besides, I did leave during this period. It's normal for you to have such misunderstandings." Shopkeeper Luo also became more solemn when he spoke.
Liu Xiaoru seemed to bow her head when she apologized, but Shopkeeper Luo looked at her differently. Although he had asked for supplies before, but because of the bad words spoken behind his back, how could Shopkeeper Luo not mind at all? At this time, he also felt a rise in his heart Feeling guilty, I felt that I had underestimated Liu Xiaoru.
He thought to himself that if he could lower his face and apologize, the female shopkeeper would not be able to go further in the future.
Liu Xiaoru thought it would be difficult to apologize, but when she said it, she didn't expect it to be so simple. She turned her head and glanced at Niu Niu.
Niu Niu looked back at her with crooked eyebrows.
Shopkeeper Luo asked again about the banquet tomorrow night.
Liu Xiaoru no longer hesitated and said: "You urged me and invited you, so why should I not go?"
After shopkeeper Luo left, Zhang Yunniang wanted to talk to her, but the business in the shop was booming again.
"Our Niu Niu is so prosperous, business has improved since you came here!" Liu Xiaoru held Niu Niu's face and praised.
Niu Niu immediately said: "Then I will come every day and I will help Aunt Liu with business!"
Liu Xiaoru hurriedly said: "The relationship is great. With Niuniu by my side, I will have the strength to do anything!"
Niu Niu’s eyes lit up.
Working at Liu Xiaoru's place was really easy. She just moved a chair and sat at the door to eat and drink. The homemade braised food was so delicious that Niu Niu even thought she was willing to work like this for the rest of her life.
Zhang Yunniang coughed slightly, interrupting Niu Niu's fantasy.
Niu Niu immediately turned to look at Zhang Yunniang: "Mom, can I come over and help? I really want to help Aunt Liu."
Zhang Yuniang stretched out her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead and said, "You don't want to come here to help. You just want to come to eat. You are here to help, but you still can't learn to read? Your father said that you have fallen behind a lot in your homework during the New Year."
Niu Niu immediately grimaced. She liked studying as well as eating.
"I'll come here in the morning and practice calligraphy at home in the afternoon?"
Zhang Yunniang still shook her head.
Niu Niu then said: "Should I come here once every two days? Three days? Can I come over to practice calligraphy?"
Liu Xiaoru also joined the begging team: "Sister, please let Niuniu come over to play. It's boring for me to look at the shop alone."
Zhang Yunniang couldn't resist the two of them begging together, so she could only say: "I come once every three days, and I have to bring my homework with me, do you understand?"
Niu Niu and Liu Xiaoru cheered together.
Zhang Yunniang interrupted their happiness and asked Liu Xiaoru: "Didn't you make an appointment with Cheng He tomorrow night?"
Liu Xiaoru's eyes flashed with a trace of sarcasm, and she said: "I'll push him when I see him. Don't worry, I don't even have to look for him deliberately. If he doesn't come three or four times a day, maybe you guys haven't gone back to him." He's here, and when I turn a corner when I go out, I'll bump into him. If I calculate carefully, I'll run into him every time I go out these days, and it's like I'm being targeted by him."
The more Liu Xiaoru talked about it, the more she felt that this was the truth. If it weren't for the fact that she would run into him every time she went out, she wouldn't have decided so quickly that Cheng He was destined to be with her.
Thinking of this bad fate, Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Then you have to talk to him carefully. Men are very strong. If you are pushed hard, you don't know what you will do." Liu Xiaoru nodded. , said: "Sister, don't worry, I know, I won't say anything, I will just find an excuse, and I will just cool him down slowly."
She said this, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the carving knife on the counter.
Zhang Yunniang felt something in her heart and said, "I will stay with you in the shop these days."
Liu Xiaoru quickly refused and said, "Sister, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly.
Liu Xiaoru added: "It's rare that we don't have to guard the shop, let's go out for a walk!"
Because of Niu Niu's fortune-seeking physique, the braised food in the shop was sold out in advance. Liu Xiaoru happily picked up Niu Niu and rushed out without waiting for Zhang Yunniang's answer.
Even if Zhang Yunniang didn't want to go shopping, she could only follow her.
When she started shopping, Zhang Yunniang regretted it even more.
"This is beautiful and suits Niu Niu!"
"Wow, this is great, but our girl is short of a pink spring shirt!"
"Two more clothes for adults, one in the same style!"
Liu Xiaoru's money felt like ants biting her. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't spend it. When she went shopping and saw this or that, she wished she could empty the whole street to hang it with Niu Niu. And Zhang Yunniang.
Niu Niu felt her head was surprisingly heavy and whispered: "My head... my head is so heavy..."
The five-year-old girl now has silver bells hung on the two pigtails on her head, and there are several various hairpins on the back of her head.
There was also a pure gold rabbit pendant hanging around her neck. Liu Xiaoru said that Niuniu was a rabbit and bought a gold pendant to pray for the child.
After buying so many things, Liu Xiaoru still thought that she was too poor to match Niu Niu's golden rabbit with a big gold chain.
Zhang Yuniang saw that she couldn't stop her desire to buy things, so she paid for the clothes while Liu Xiaoru was trying on clothes, waited for others to come out, took a look at the fit of the clothes, and then pulled Liu Xiaoru and Niu Niu back.
"Sister, why are you so anxious? I also saw a green one. Niuniu will look good in it!" Liu Xiaoru shouted.
Zhang Yunniang made up her mind this time and refused to let her spend money arbitrarily, so she forcefully dragged the person back.
"These are too expensive. I'll keep these clothes, but you can keep the rest." Zhang Yunniang took off all the silver jewelry on Niu Niu's head and the gold pendant around her neck.
Liu Xiaoru smiled and said: "Sister, you bought these clothes with money, how can you still count them as a favor to me? Why should I keep these things? They are all worn by children, and they will not return them. If they are not given to Niuniu, they will be given to me. Who wears it?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhang Yunniang suddenly looked helpless.
Niu Niu's head was no longer so heavy, and she felt much more relaxed. She simply sat down on the steps by the roadside. It happened that someone was playing Guan Pu on the roadside. Niu Niu sat on the steps and stretched her neck to look there.
The so-called Guanpu is a game similar to a lottery. If you like the goods on the stalls, you can buy them directly, or you can spend a small amount of money to gamble. If you win the bet, you will get everything. If you lose the bet, you can get everything. Naturally, it belongs to the stall owner.
Liu Xiaoru said with a smile: "Sister, look at Niu Niu, her eyes can't wait to be glued to those people."
It seems that whatever comes from it.
As soon as Liu Xiaoru walked to Niu Niu, a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere.
"Xiaoru, your shop closed early today. I was going to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Cheng He said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoru twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "What a coincidence. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you sent someone to keep an eye on me."
