"Brother, can you help us find clothes that fit me and my sister?" Bai Nuo patted A Yu, indicating that A Yu could choose whatever he wanted, but unexpectedly A Yu went straight to grab the waiter's clothes.
The waiter was extremely busy when suddenly someone tugged at his trouser leg. Looking down, he saw a thin, small child staring at him expectantly. Unable to bring himself to refuse, he willingly gave the child clothes for both boys and girls.
"I also want Grandma's clothes," A-Yu said again. Among the clothes he took out, there were none for his grandmother, which made A-Yu very unhappy.
Seeing that A-Yu was like this, the waiter simply let others choose first and came over specifically to pick out clothes for Bai Nuo and her brother.
By the time they made their selection, it was almost dark when Bai Nuo and Bai Yu finally emerged from the clothing store. When they came out, they each had three bags in their hands—containing the clothes they had just bought, two sets each.
"Are you hungry?" Bai Nuo asked again, as she planned to take A Yu out for a nice meal or buy some delicious food to take home.
“Sister…” A-Yu shook his head, “I’m not hungry, we can go back to eat.” He felt a little heartache having just spent six taels of silver, but before he could finish speaking, his stomach growled loudly.
"It's okay, Ayu. If we get hungry, we can buy food. It's true that we should be frugal with our money, but we don't have to be so frugal all the time. Now we can spend a little money to buy food. We won't buy much, just one or two taels of silver, okay?"
Bai Nuo tried hard to suppress her laughter. She hadn't expected A Yu to be not only greedy but also incredibly frugal, practically a greedy pig who only took in money and never gave it back. However, she had just spent six taels of silver on clothes, leaving her with forty-four taels to spend. Although it's true that you shouldn't waste money and treat it lightly, Bai Nuo really didn't intend to be stingy with herself when it came to food and clothing.
Ayu still looked reluctant. Bai Nuo shook his clothes and held up one finger, "If you want to eat roast chicken, how about we buy one?"
Ah Yu swallowed hard, "Buy!"
Bai Nuo was finally happy. She dragged A Yu back to the inn and bought a roast chicken. Not only that, Bai Nuo also tricked A Yu into buying a pork knuckle and three soups before they happily prepared to go back.
It was already dark when they came out, and there were hardly any people on the street. The few people who were there were all hurrying home, while the brother and sister stood in the middle of the road, not knowing how to get home.
"Sis, you can't buy so much anymore!" Ah Yu looked at the sky that was about to darken, and then at the empty street, feeling deeply worried. He should have known better than to buy so much for his sister. How was he going to get home now?
Bai Nuo felt a little embarrassed. Women can't control themselves when they go shopping. She had only indulged herself a little because she suddenly had money. "Baby, I promise I won't do it again next time. Come on, let's take a taxi home!"
Having thoroughly enjoyed her shopping trip, Bai Nuo happily carried a basket, holding items in one hand and pulling A Yu along with the other to rent a horse-drawn carriage to go home.
**
"Don't disturb them!" Bai Nuo pulled A Yu out of the car and then quietly went back to Grandma's room, not daring to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing Chen Qiuling and Bai Dalin. If they saw so many things, it would be impossible to explain whether she had money or not.
Before they even entered the room, the old lady's door suddenly opened. Seeing the two of them, she angrily pulled them inside, yelling, "Where have you two been? Why are you so late? You didn't even come back to cook dinner! Your father has been looking for you two everywhere!" Chen Qiuling had been scolding Bai Dalin for a long time before he returned, and she was the one who cooked dinner.
Bai Dalin is looking for them?
What's up?
However, neither Bai Nuo nor A Yu cared about this issue. Bai Nuo tugged at her grandmother's clothes, "Grandma... food... food!"
"There's no food left!" the old woman said irritably. "You've come back too late. Dinner was all over a long time ago, and the dishes and chopsticks have all been washed. There's nothing left for you."
Bai Nuo was truly helpless. They were carrying so many things, could the old woman really not see anything? There were lights on in the house, after all.
"Eat up!" Although the old lady was scolding them, Bai Nuo, with her sharp eyes, noticed a large bowl on the table covered with a lid. The old lady said that they weren't supposed to eat there, but she still took out two steamed buns for the two siblings.
"There's no more food, so we'll just have to eat like this. If you go out and come back this late, you'll be eating plain steamed buns every day!" The old woman was very angry.
There's nothing wrong with eating plain white steamed buns every day. They're delicious! Just eat them plain, they're sweet. Fry them in oil, sprinkle some chili powder on top, and they become a snack. What's wrong with that?
Seeing that his grandmother was angry, Ayu pitifully walked over and proudly displayed all the things he had bought in front of her, saying, "Grandma, we have food, and we even bought clothes!"
The old woman then noticed that she and Ah Yu were carrying many things, and asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?"
Bai Nuo put the things on the table, and A Yu went over and took them out one by one. When he saw a pile of clothes and a pile of food, the old lady was shocked again.
"We made money with those pearl bracelets!" Bai Nuo explained to the old woman with a smile, then picked up all the clothes she had bought for the old woman to see, "These are for you, try them on after you finish eating."
As the old woman looked at the clothes, she suddenly started wiping away tears. She couldn't say any more words of reproach at this point. New clothes—she hadn't worn a single new piece of clothing since Jiang Wanyin passed away.
