Lan Qingyue thought to herself, since she was already here, she might as well buy a pack of sanitary napkins on the way. She had a habit of always having two packs of daytime sanitary napkins, one pack of nighttime sanitary napkins, and one pack of extra-long nighttime sanitary napkins at home. She had just noticed a few days ago that she was short of a pack of extra-long nighttime sanitary napkins.
A slightly overweight middle-aged woman walked in and said, "You bought so much brown sugar?"
Lan Qingyue: "Mm."
Three packs should be enough, right? There's also a pound of glutinous rice flour, a pound of wheat flour, and some glutinous rice at home. Glutinous rice with brown sugar is also delicious, in her opinion.
Little did she know, she had misunderstood. The little girl packed her things and smiled knowingly, "Drink more hot water."
Lan Qingyue: "???"
What does that mean? She'd been binge-watching dramas these past few days and her brain wasn't working properly. She didn't quite grasp it and just laughed it off.
The girl said, "It's thirty-four yuan in total."
Lan Qingyue was taken aback. "How much did you say?"
The little girl repeated, "Thirty-four yuan."
Is it really that cheap? She thought the prices in the book were very high.
Lan Qingyue rummaged through her small bag and found some change, four ten-yuan bills. "I'll pay the thirty-four yuan in cash then."
Back in the car, Chuchu, the little dumpling, eagerly awaited the arrival of three bags of brown sugar. Her chubby little hands lit up with joy, "Mommy, awesome~~~"
Lan Qingyue started the car and replied, "It's great that there's food, right?"
Chu Chu's defining characteristic is her sweet talk; she's been sweet since she was little, and compliments just come out of her mouth effortlessly, like, "Mommy's the best, always~~~"
Lan Qingyue chuckled softly. She was a little troubled by what the little girl had just said, "Drink more hot water." Wasn't that just a typical straight man and woman's saying?
In the real world, she often jokes with her deskmate. She tells him to drink more hot water, and her deskmate replies that he should drink more scalding hot water.
Lan Qingyue, belatedly realizing that she had also bought that thing, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood, "This little girl is actually making fun of me. No way, I have to go back and save face."
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Lan immediately turned back. Chu Chu, who was clinging to the car window waiting to get home for a delicious meal, saw the car reverse and excitedly screamed, "Mommy, you've gone the wrong way! Our home is over there~~~"
What's wrong with Mommy lately? Has she gone crazy from watching dramas? She can't even remember the way home. Even her three-year-old daughter is better than Mommy! Chu Chu proudly wiped the drool from her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled innocently.
"Mommy~~~ Aren't we going home?" Seeing Lan Qingyue stop the car by the roadside, the little one stretched her head and looked around inside the car. Finally, her gaze settled on the three bags of brown sugar, which instantly turned into soft and sticky banana buns and chewy Malay cakes. They looked so tempting, and this little foodie was really drooling.
Lan Qingyue patted Chu Chu's little pigtails and instructed, "Chu Chu, wait patiently in the car for a while, okay? I still need to buy some more things. After I'm done, I'll go home and make you something delicious."
Hearing about food, Chuchu's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she urged, "Okay, okay, Mommy, hurry up and buy some!"
Lan Qingyue locked the car, still looking back every few steps. There were several people buying cold drinks in the convenience store, all gathered in front of the counter to pay.
Lan Qingyue glanced back at the direction of the car. She couldn't see Chu Chu inside the car, but Chu Chu should be able to see her.
Those people paid but didn't leave; they stood blocking the doorway drinking beverages. Lan Qingyue called out to the little girl, "Little girl, give me another pound of flour and a packet of baking powder."
