Ye Ersao only told Old Lady Ye and Old Second Ye about receiving the twenty taels of silver note.
With the previous experience of Mrs. Ye losing the banknote as a warning, the three of them kept silent.
Although everyone in the family guessed that the Qin family should have paid wages, they didn't know how much it was.
The others didn't ask at all. Guo was anxious to know, but didn't dare to ask.
Now that the skirt has been repaired, everyone has started packing up and preparing to leave for the capital.
The day before departure, Li Fu specially came to see Old Lady Ye on the orders of Mrs. Qin.
"Mrs. Ye, we need to go to the market to buy some things before returning to Beijing. If you and your family need anything, you can come with us.
"Let's go together in large numbers so we don't get bullied. I can also help you sort things out and bargain for you."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she looked surprised. She obviously didn't expect Li Fu to do this. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should agree or not.
Li Fu was feeling puzzled when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Butler Li is trying to steal my job!"
Li Fu turned around and saw Captain Zhang in uniform walking in from outside.
Only then did he realize that someone had gotten there first.
Captain Zhang approached and bowed to Li Fu, saying, "Butler Li, why don't I go for a walk with you guys?"
Li Fu immediately agreed and said, "That's great, thank you, Captain Zhang!"
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.
No matter how powerful the Qin family is in the capital, they are still far less successful than Captain Zhang in the Tianjin market.
Guo was originally wanting to go to the market to watch the fun together, but when she saw Captain Zhang, she immediately slipped away, saving Ye Laosi a lot of trouble.
A group of more than 20 people came to the market and saw the dazzling array of goods. Not to mention the children, even the adults were dazzled.
Mrs. Ye looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "The city is really different. I originally thought that even the market in the city would only be two or three times the size of our county market.
"If I hadn't come here to open my eyes, I wouldn't have known there were so many goods in the world."
Old Mrs. Ye had long wanted to go out and buy some gifts, after all, they would reach their destination in a few days.
It's embarrassing to say it, but she is old and has a lot of grandchildren, but she has never visited her husband's family or met her husband's relatives.
Now that it’s almost here, I can’t help but feel nervous.
But when she saw so many things in the market, she was at a loss for a moment.
"Auntie, what do you want to buy? I'll go with you to see it!" asked Captain Zhang.
Old Mrs. Ye was at a loss. “I don’t know who is left at home now. Is the old man still alive? How many adults and children are there? I don’t know where to start if I want to buy anything.”
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang suggested, "Auntie, if that's the case, you might as well take my advice and just buy some fabrics and dry goods.
"These things are easy to take and store, so whether you give them to others or use them yourself, there will be no waste."
His words immediately touched Mrs. Ye's heart.
After all, so many years have passed. What is the current situation of Mr. Ye’s hometown? Whether people will look down on his country family is still unknown.
When buying a gift, you not only need to consider the situation of giving it, but also the situation of not being able to give it or not wanting to give it.
In this case, cloth and dry goods are indeed the best choices.
"Thank you, Captain Zhang, for your advice." Old Mrs. Ye nodded when she heard that.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye said, "Since mother wants to buy fabric, that's easy. Just go to the stall I bought from last time."
After saying that, he took him to Lao Liu's stall.
Lao Liu was a down-to-earth person, and he was even more attentive after seeing Captain Zhang. He helped match several pieces of material for making clothes according to the conditions of the four generations of people: old, middle-aged, young and children.
In this way, even if it cannot be given away, the Ye family can still use it.
After buying the fabrics, we went to look at dry goods and other things.
After spending most of the day at the market, everyone gained a lot.
The adults bought clothes, dry goods, tea, tobacco leaves and other things.
Each of the children was holding a cheap little toy in their hands, and they were jumping and skipping as they walked.
Qingtian was holding a tumbler in his hand and sitting in Boss Ye's arms. He could see farther than the other brothers and smiled with a row of white teeth showing.
Even Constable Zhang, who was accompanying them, had several more bags in his hands as he walked around.
At noon, everyone was tired from shopping, so Constable Zhang took them directly to a mutton stall, where they all drank mutton soup and ate mutton together.
After drinking the hot and fragrant mutton soup, everyone's faces turned red and their foreheads were sweating. They felt very happy.
After the meal, everyone returned to the inn with bags of things, feeling very happy.
Before leaving, Captain Zhang stuffed the things in his hand into Boss Ye's arms and said, "Brother Ye, although we met by chance, in my heart, I already feel that we are friends who will live and die together.
"Once you leave, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and I don't know when we will meet again.
"This is a small gift from my family and me, you must accept it."
Boss Ye quickly declined, "Captain Zhang, you're being too polite. How can I possibly take your things?"
"Brother Ye, if you don't accept it, it means you don't want to acknowledge me as your brother!" Captain Zhang said with a gloomy face.
He is a captain of the police and is very dignified. It's okay when he smiles, but when his face gloomy, he is really intimidating.
Boss Ye turned his head to look at Mrs. Ye in embarrassment, then turned his head to look at Old Madam Ye.
