Chapter 602: Shopping
However, she quicklyposed herself and gave Shopkeeper Gu a surreptitious re.
Theplexion of Shopkeeper Gu remained unaltered, as he continued to stand there respectfully with a modest smile on his face.
“I knew you were ending your confinement period today, so you must be nning to go out, right? That’s why I specifically came to ask if you would like to apany me,” he said.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Sisi nodded, “That’s fine! I will have to make a visit to my maternal uncle’s home tomorrow. It will be convenient to buy certain necessary items while I’m outside.”
As per the local custom, once women finish their postpartum confinement period, they first have to visit the uncle’s house to determine the end of confinement. Only then can they casually go out to meet guests.
As for Liu Sisi’s brothers, one was Liu Baihan, and the other was Nan Tianzong, who lives far away in the capital city! In the absence of real brothers, cousin brothers could substitute.
As for visiting Nan Tianzong in the capital, it was impossible for her. The only option she had was to visit Liu Baihan’s ce.
Every time she thought about visiting Liu Baihan, she felt ufortable all over. She wished she could kill the root cause of the failure that led to the former body owner’s death with a single p! If she could dy the visit by a day, it would be the best thing.
As the two were enjoying their conversation, a fluttering butterfly came flying over from the other side.
Today, YingEr wore a light blue ground pleated summer dress, tied around the waist with light blue chiffon, adorned with a highly intricaterge bow knot. She also wore a blue hair band on her double ponytails,plemented with two butterflies, one red and one orange, adorning it that made her even more adorable and yful.<div>
As she flew to Liu Sisi’s side, she gleefully jumped into her arms andughed, “Mom, look, this is the dress that Eldest Sister-inw made for me, isn’t it beautiful?”
The Eldest Sister-inw YingEr referred to was Di Cheng’s wife, Xiao Feng.
Liu Sisi carefully examined it once more, she couldn’t resist nodding powerfully, “Indeed, it is beautiful! Xiao Feng has a great eye for these things!”
Last time, Xiao Feng apanied Di Cheng and others on a trip to Chengdu Prefecture with Ye Lei. On returning, Ye Lei didn’t stop singing praises about her.
He evenmented that Xiao Feng was very skilled and asked her to manage the city defending soldiers in Macheng County.
For this reason, those soldiers who looked down upon women had to swallow their pride. Each time Ye Lei returned and talked about it, he was all smiles.
Di Cheng currently didn’t oversee the bookstore anymore. ording to Ye Lei, letting Di Cheng manage the bookstore was an underuse of his abilities. So, he took Di Cheng with him, apanying him in his recent outings.
The most surprising thing was Di Ah-bao. The old Di Ah-bao was nothing but an idleyabout, who now was directed by Ye Lei to utilize his strengths. Whenever there were unavoidable invitations to entertain guests or people, they would get Di Ah-bao to ward off the drinks.
Di Ah-bao was Lord Captain’s younger brother, and everyone respected him to a certain extent for the sake of Ye Lei.
However, Liu Sisi had never expected that Xiao Feng, who was usually carefree, would be so skilled at making clothes.
“Yes, yes! Brother and Da Mao also have one!”
YingEr was very happy, begging Liu Sisi to pick her up.
Liu Sisi bent down and easily lifted her. As she turned around, she noticed that Ms. Xin, who was standing next to her earlier, had not followed.
She hurriedly turned back and took a few steps, as she turned the corner of the wall, she saw Ms. Xin seemingly arguing with Shopkeeper Gu. Neither of them looked happy.
“Sister-inw, Sister-inw!”
Liu Sisi softly called out twice.
Ms. Xin turned around, concealing her emotions with a smile, and quickly walked over to Liu Sisi.N?v(el)B\\jnn
“Second Sister-inw…YingEr, yo! YingEr’s little dress is pretty, and these little shoes are also nice!”
“Eldest Sister-inw made these for me! Little aunt, when will you make a little dress for YingEr?” Di Ying innocently asked.<div>
Even if Liu Sisi wanted to intervene, it was toote.
“YingEr, how can you be so rude?” she scolded her urgently.
Taking a nce at Shopkeeper Gu besides her, in just a short time, he had regained his trademark smile and was standing respectfully in the same ce.
Why did these two give off a strange vibe? Liu Sisi furrowed her eyebrows.<div>
YingEr pouted and refused to ept it!
“Mom, did YingEr say something wrong?” From YingEr’s understanding, who is not even six years old, she didn’t say anything wrong, she could not understand why Liu Sisi was scolding her.
“YingEr is not little anymore, she shouldn’t be asking for things from others, that is begging. But small auntie is YingEr’s rtive, naturally, it’s not included in this. Come!”
Ms. Xin took out an extraordinarily beautiful wallet from her bosom and tied it for YingEr.
“Look! Beautiful clothes coupled with a beautiful wallet are reallyplementary. Pretty, isn’t it?”
YingEr lowered her head and looked at it, then again looked at Liu Sisi, before finally showing a smile: “Thank you little auntie.”
“Since we’re going out, let’s also call my Second Sister. To take care of my confinement, her shop has not been taken care of recently.”
Liu Sisi happily said.
When everyone agreed on the time to go out, it was already two hourster.
Everyone exited the house inughter and conversation, leaving alone Ms. Zhao standing behind, watching with a sinister face as the group gradually moved away.
At this moment, it’s mid-July, the ring sun hanging in the sky with a whole circle of white halo. People were sweating profusely.
People wereing and going on the street, the hustle and bustle represented a flourishing scene.
“Over here, there’s shade over here!”<div>
Looking at the still prosperous city center of Macheng County, Liu Sisi’s emotions red up again: “It’s a pity Feng’er was busy all the timetely, otherwise, we could have had one more person apanying us.”
“Feng’er is doing important work. Look! A new pastry shop opened up here. Come on, let’s check it out!”
The newly-opened pastry shop being situated under the shade of a big tree, the group of people walked in and instantly felt a cool relief.
“Oh, it’s so cool here.” Everyone felt rxed.
“Mom, candy! There’s lots of candy!”
YingEr’s gaze was instantly attracted by the array of dazzling candies in the shop, and she quickly rushed over. Da Mao also hurriedly caught up.
Looking at YingEr who was choosing from the pile of candies, Liu Sisi was not stingy and let her pick freely.
“Which candies would you like?”
The shopkeeper was a thin, dark man, who quickly greeted them when he saw a few peoplee in.
“Wait a moment, we will settle the bill after we have chosen.”
“Very well, please feel free to choose.” The shopkeeper noticed the attire of the people and hearing Liu Sisi’s words, and the smile on his face became sweeter. He even took the initiative to rmend several types of candies to Di Ying. Da Mao on the side was also keeping busy putting candies in the basket, and before long, a full basket was filled.
Seeing that YingEr’s selection was almost done, Liu Sisi nodded: “Shopkeeper, weigh these for us, we will take all these candies.”
“Sure,dies, please wait a moment.” The shopkeeper hastily began to weigh.<div>
