Chapter 1164 Buying New Clothes
Gouwa looked down at the big steamed bun in his hand. It was still so early, was it time to eat?
Everyone else at the table was eating, but Gouwa stared blankly for a moment before opening his mouth to eat the big steamed bun.
The steamed buns were soft and fluffy, with plenty of meat juice, and Gouwa's movements involuntarily quickened.
Shu Yu poured him a cup of soy milk, and seeing that he choked after a few sips, she quickly gave him some more soy milk to drink. "Eat slowly, no rush, this big bun is all yours."
Gouwa looked up and took a sip of soy milk from her hand. It was so sweet.
Although Gouwa doesn't speak and seems to be in a daze, you can still tell his emotional changes from his eyes or facial expressions if you observe carefully.
The little guy is quite interesting.
Gouwa slowed down his eating pace, and by the time he finished one steamed bun, his stomach was already full.
Meng Pei and the others had calculated the time; they were about to set off.
While Meng Pei was pulling the carriage, Meng Yunzheng secretly gave Shu Yu a silver note.
"Please give this money to Aunt Hong for me. She has taken care of my cousin and Gouwa for so long. Now that the head of the Hong family has passed away, she has to rely on her son and daughter-in-law for a living, so life is bound to be tough. It's not much money, but at least it will be enough for her to have some support and to make her life a little better occasionally."
Shu Yu took it. "Okay, I understand."
Meng Yunzheng squeezed her hand briefly and then let go, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Pei was calling him from the other side, so he got up and left the courtyard.
With little time to spare, Shu Yu prepared to head out.
She wiped Gouwa's hands, then picked the child up. "Come on, I'll take you to buy some clothes."
Gouwa blinked and obediently hugged her neck.
He was holding that wooden bead again in his right hand.
He almost never let go of those wooden beads; only just now, while eating the big steamed bun, did he carefully stuff them into the pocket of his clothes.
These days, there aren't many children's clothing stores. Most children wear clothes made by their elders or hand-me-downs from their older siblings. Clothes from ready-made stores are expensive and don't fit well, so they don't last long.
Fortunately, this is the capital city, where there is no shortage of any kind of shop.
The southern part of the city is especially concentrated with shops, where you can buy anything.
Shu Yu carried Gouwa into a shop and said directly to the shopkeeper, "Help me see what size clothes are suitable for this child. Bring them all over so I can see them. I need clothes that are comfortable, soft, breathable, and won't irritate his skin."
The shopkeeper knew immediately that a big customer had arrived.
We need everything, inside and out; that's quite a lot.
He quickly asked the shop assistant to bring out the clothes. At first, they brought out fine silks and satins, which were beautiful and luxurious, but they would definitely be uncomfortable for a child to wear.
Shu Yu frowned and repeated her request.
The shopkeeper, fearing the customer would run away, kicked the waiter and made him get the food again.
This time it met Shu Yu's requirements. She took Gouwa into the fitting room to change out of the clothes she was wearing.
I must say, it really fits quite well.
Moreover, Gouwa is actually quite good-looking, especially his eyes, which look a lot like Meng Yunzheng's.
He's just too thin. Once he gains weight, he'll definitely be an adorable little guy.
Shu Yu was actually somewhat looking forward to it.
Gouwa looked down at his new clothes, his hands hanging stiffly at his sides, as if he was afraid to touch them, lest he tear them.
Seeing this, Shu Yu took his little hand and patted his new clothes. "How does Gouwa feel? If you're uncomfortable, shake your head and we'll change into something else?"
