“Aunt Ding, it’s no trouble at all. Come to my house; he’s the village’s god of wealth.” Mo Xi waved his hand. “Everyone will warmly welcome you.”
Unable to resist Dingxiang's enthusiasm, Moxi followed her to the clothing street, where stalls lined up one after another, dazzling the eye.
"Aunt Ding, is this a clothing wholesale market?"
“This isn’t the wholesale market, but it’s a little more expensive than the wholesale price.” Dingxiang pointed to the distance. “That’s the wholesale market over there. They get their goods from there and resell them individually. They only make a dollar or so profit per garment. Take a look, and if you see anything suitable, give it a try.”
I asked around and found out they weren't too expensive, just a few yuan for a dress, cheaper than at the town's supply and marketing cooperative, and the styles were even nicer. So I silently picked out a few dresses and went to the fitting room.
This fitting room is a simple type, with a circular rack on top, around which a piece of cloth is hung. After putting on the clothes, you have to come out and look in the mirror.
"Not bad, this one and the second one are very good, what do you think?" Dingxiang nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, I think these two are good too." Moxi looked at himself in the mirror from left to right, becoming more and more satisfied.
When she returned to the fitting room, she suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Dingxiang and the shop owner rushed over at the same time.
"My dress that I took off is gone, and my bag is gone too."
"Isn't this bag yours?" the shop owner asked, pointing to a bag in the corner.
"no."
Dingxiang took the bag, opened it, and found something inside. "Moxi, look, is this yours?"
“It really is my stuff.” She rummaged through it. “I know, that bastard Jiang Yi must have switched it. He didn’t take anything else, the money is still there, but my dress and bag are missing.”
"No wonder you said someone was following you. It really was that kid surnamed Jiang. He really knows how to play the game."
Mo Xi had no choice but to wear the new dress she had bought and hang the new bag that Jiang Yi had bought on her arm. She walked and looked around with Ding Xiang, but when she reached the exit, she did not see Jiang Yi. She thought to herself, if I ever run into that Jiang guy again, I will definitely teach him a lesson to vent my anger.
The embarrassing thing was that the dress in the bag was dirty and hadn't been washed yet. Moreover, her underwear was wrapped inside the dirty dress. Although he only took the dress, he must have seen her underwear as well. How awful!
"Stop looking!" Dingxiang knew she was looking for Jiang Yi. "He followed us for so long to finally get it, he must have run far away by now. It's really tough on him, following us all over the wholesale market for this little thing. It's getting late, let's find a place to have lunch."
"Aunt Ding, let's go get some noodles." Mo Xi thought noodles were cheaper. "It's my treat."
"Silly girl, now that we're here, it's definitely my treat." Dingxiang walked to the parking lot and opened the car door. "Get in, I'll take you to eat. What do you want for lunch? Noodles for dinner is fine."
...
Zhang Yulan stood in front of the Xiao family courtyard gate, looking around.
"Sister-in-law, are you waiting for Moxi?" Aunt Hua came over carrying a covered earthenware pot.
"Oh dear, Moxi has been gone for three days and hasn't come back yet. I hope something has happened to him," Zhang Yulan said anxiously.
"What could possibly be wrong?" Aunt Hua asked quickly. "Xiao Nuan said someone was with her, so what are you worried about?"
Su Xiaonuan could hear Aunt Hua's loud voice from inside the house as she led her two children out to greet her.
"Aunt Hua is here?"
"Xiao Nuan, the improved formula of the medicinal wine is ready. I tried it last night, and it worked well. I slept very well last night after drinking it, and all the aches and pains in my body were gone after a good night's sleep. Except for the reduced effect in that area, everything else is great. This is the health-preserving and nourishing wine effect you mentioned." Aunt Hua said proudly. "I had to try to make it several times before I succeeded."
"Really?" Su Xiaonuan let go of the children and took the earthenware pot with both hands as if it were a precious treasure. "Then let's try it tonight."
"Mommy, I want to try it." DouDou thought it was something delicious.
"Mom, I want to try too!" Guoguo jumped up and down impatiently, her hands tugging at Xiaonuan's legs.
"This is wine, you can't try it, you'll fall asleep if you do." Xiao Nuan held it like a precious treasure, afraid of breaking it.
The more she treasured it, the more the two little ones thought it must be delicious, and they became even more fussy about wanting to eat it.
DouDou: Mom, let me try and see if I can fall asleep?
Guoguo: Mom, I can't sleep right now, can you let me try this?
"You two are such clever little devils!" Aunt Hua laughed heartily. "You can only drink it after Grandma Hua has figured out a recipe that's suitable for all ages."
Xiao Nuan has good hearing and can hear her aunt's voice from a distance. She points outside the door. "Hurry up, your aunt will definitely bring you something delicious when she comes back."
After saying that, he turned around and took the wine home and put it away.
The two children ran out of the courtyard gate, but when they didn't see their aunt, they turned around and wanted to go back to their mother.
Zhang Yulan and Aunt Hua thought Xiao Nuan was just coaxing the two children, but they didn't expect that Mo Xi really had returned, carrying large and small bags, followed by two very elegant middle-aged women.
"Moxi, you're finally back!" Zhang Yulan ran up to her daughter with great joy and took the bags from her hands.
DouDou and GuoGuo turned around and ran off again, calling out "Auntie" repeatedly.
"Slow down! Don't fall!" Moxi rushed forward and caught the two children who were running unsteadily.
"Auntie, DouDou misses you so much."
"Auntie, Guoguo misses it too."
The two children hugged their aunt and started kissing her.
"Auntie misses you too." Moxi said, taking a bite of food as she pulled some out of her bag to give them to them.
"So cute!" Li Yuehua and Dingxiang exclaimed at the same time.
"Boss lady, I'm sorry to have troubled you, please come in!" Zhang Yulan quickly stepped forward to greet the customer.
"Big sister, don't call me boss lady, just call me Yuehua." Li Yuehua pulled Dingxiang over. "This is my sister Dingxiang from the provincial capital. She hasn't caused me any trouble; it's all Dingxiang who's been taking care of Moxi."
Zhang Yulan grabbed Dingxiang's hand excitedly. "Thank you so much!"
"Boss lady, what brings you here?" Xiao Nuan came out after putting out the wine.
"Why call her 'boss lady'? You should call her 'godmother'!" Li Yuehua had already told her best friend that Xiao Nuan was her goddaughter, so she couldn't let Xiao Nuan call her that. "Are you not used to being called 'godmother'? If you're not used to being called 'godmother,' then you can call her 'godmother' too. It's easier to say."
"Sister-in-law, call her quickly!"
"Xiao Nuan, quickly call her godmother." Zhang Yulan also urged her to do so.
"Xiao Nuan, call out!" Aunt Hua gently poked her back from behind.
"Godmother," Xiao Nuan blurted out.
Li Yuehua responded crisply. "That's right, isn't it? It sounds so natural to call me godmother. My good daughter, today I've brought your godmother aunt to invest in your winery. Let's call your village chief and that Aunt Hua here to discuss it."
"Let's go inside!" Su Xiaonuan gestured invitingly. "Don't just stand here talking."
"Aunt Hua, hurry and go invite the village chief over. Tell him the God of Wealth has arrived," Xiao Nuan whispered to the excited Aunt Hua, lagging behind.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
