Lu Zhixia: "Approximately how many?"

The plump aunt took a bite of an apple and said, "It must weigh at least ten or twenty thousand catties. What, are you talking about apples from my village?"

Lu Zhixia: "I do have an idea. This apple tastes good."

Aunt Pang laughed, "If you can buy all the apples in our village, I'll definitely give you the best price."

Lu Zhixia looked at the apple in her hand thoughtfully. If she sold the apple in the south, or in places where apples are less common, the price would definitely more than double.

The biggest cost is transportation, and we need to think about that carefully.

Su Lan: "How about we have cold noodles for lunch today?"

Auntie Pang: "Sure! I'll eat whatever you make!"

Lu Zhixia looked at Su Lan and said, "I saw that the eggs looked good today, so I bought some more. Let's just make some braised eggs!"

Su Lan: "Okay, I'll do as you say and make the egg marinade!"

I took out some noodles from the cupboard, boiled water and cooked them, and quickly prepared a meal.

When Lu Zhixia sat down to eat, she noticed that Zhou Cheng hadn't come out of the room, so she asked Su Lan,

"Where is my sister-in-law?"

“He went back to the village.” Su Lan’s smile vanished abruptly.

"Is something wrong over there?" Lu Zhixia asked.

Aunt Pang swallowed the noodles in her mouth. "I don't even need to guess; I know what happened."

Su Lan sighed softly, "It can only be said that every family has its own troubles. Someone sent word that the old lady's condition was not good, and then Zhou Cheng took the money back home."

Lu Zhixia thought of that fussy old lady, "Is this for real this time?"

Su Lan shook her head helplessly, "I don't know if it's true or not, but that's how it is. I can't make things too difficult for him, so I brought him some money back."

Lu Zhixia had a deep impression of that old lady; she was sharp-tongued, had no self-control, and most importantly, was very wicked.

The plump aunt looked at the noodles in their bowls and couldn't help but urge them, "You two eat! They won't taste good if they get cold!"

Seeing that Aunt Pang had finished eating, Lu Zhixia said, "You ate way too fast."

Auntie Pang laughed heartily, "There's nothing I can do, I just eat fast. Seeing how fast you all eat makes me eat even faster."

Su Lan quickly put another big clump of noodles into Aunt Pang's bowl, "You eat more. Xiaxia and I don't eat much. One bowl is enough for Yuanyuan."

Aunt Pang took another clove of garlic from the stove, chewed it, and then started eating noodles in big mouthfuls. Her hearty manner suggested she could eat a whole pot of noodles.

Lu Zhixia felt that eating with people who could eat a lot was more enjoyable.

After finishing her noodles, Aunt Pang went back home. Lu Zhixia went back to her room to rest and accidentally fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was almost 3 o'clock.

I made an agreement with Gu Lingxiao yesterday that I wouldn't need to pick up the kids by bicycle today; he would come over early.

So I quickly got up and went to the washroom to wash my face. When I came back, I found that the fish had been cleaned and put in a basin.

Without even asking, I knew it was Su Lan who helped tidy up; it warmed my heart.

Su Lan came out of the house yawning. "This weather is perfect for sleeping. I almost fell asleep."

Lu Zhixia walked over and gave him a gentle hug, then let go.

"Sister Lan, I love you so much! You cleaned the fish for me again!"

"I think that fish was a good buy. If you come across one like that next time, bring one for me too."

"Sure! No problem. If I happen to be passing by tomorrow, I'll see if they sell fish."

“Yuanyuan told me this morning that she can see a little more. I can’t be happier. If it weren’t for you, who suggested we try acupuncture, the child’s eyes wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.” Su Lan almost cried again as she spoke.

Lu Zhixia quickly patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"When bad luck is over, good days are coming!"

Su Lan wiped her eyes. "You're right, our good days have arrived!"

Lu Zhixia rearranged the vegetables again, leaving the extra ones for Su Lan. Although the weather wasn't very hot, vegetables shouldn't be kept for too long; it's better to eat them fresh.

Soon it was the agreed time, and she closed the door to change her clothes.

Then they heard Gu Lingxiao outside say, "Sister Lan, how are Yuanyuan's eyes?"

"It's great, there are more things to see now," Su Lan said.

Lu Zhixia quickly changed her clothes, then opened the door and met Gu Lingxiao's gaze.

"You look good in this outfit," Gu Lingxiao said.

Su Lan turned her head and noticed that Lu Zhixia had changed into new clothes. "She looks really good. It's a good buy."

Lu Zhixia looked at Su Lan and said, "I came back in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to tell you. I brought back some clothes from over there. They're in the bag. Come over tomorrow and pick some out."

Su Lan was overjoyed, "You brought me clothes?"

Lu Zhixia said, "I went to the wholesale market and found that there were so many things there, and they were especially cheap, so I took it upon myself to buy some clothes."

Su Lan: "Are the prices over there really that cheap?"

Lu Zhixia said, "I feel like the same clothes would cost several yuan more here!"

Su Lan couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, people still need to go out and see the world, otherwise they won't know what the outside world has become."

Lu Zhixia said, "Come pick out clothes tomorrow morning. We need to pick up the kids now, or we'll be late."

Su Lan said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Lu Zhixia turned around, locked the door, and then followed Gu Lingxiao downstairs.

They quickly got on the bus and headed straight for the primary school.

"Are the school teachers easy to talk to?" Gu Lingxiao asked. "They didn't make things difficult for you because of what happened before, did they?"
