"Wenhua, what do you think?" Old Xu asked with a grin.
Hu Wenhua was calculating whether he had enough money and only overheard their conversation. He replied blankly, "Aren't you buying cloth for the girl to make clothes? What's the use of just buying clothes for yourself?"
Fan Xiaoliu was stunned.
Xu Laosan and Li Wen laughed heartily.
Fan Xiaoliu stammered, "But what if the girl doesn't like me? Wouldn't it be a waste to give her the cloth?"
A piece of cloth costs a lot of money, what a loss!
Li Wen turned his head and said in a simple and honest way, "Maybe that girl didn't like you, but if you gave her the cloth, she'd be willing to live with you?"
After all, how many people would be willing to give away expensive fabrics right away?
Xu Laosan, enjoying the spectacle, quickly chimed in, "That's right, if I were a girl, and someone gave me cloth, I'd definitely be willing to live with them!"
Fan Xiaoliu looked like she was about to cry, struggling with her dilemma.
He wanted new clothes too; it was rare to have new clothes. But if he took a fancy to a girl, he wasn't incapable of wearing his old clothes so his wife could have new ones...
On the way, Hu Wenhua saw Xu Ji's shop and quickly greeted the three of them before going inside.
Both Li Wen and Xu Laosan had children. Seeing that it was a pastry shop, they left the conflicted Fan Xiaoliu outside to watch the cart and steeled themselves to go inside as well.
Even if I can't afford to buy it, I can still look at it.
Fan Xiaoliu needed to save his money to buy cloth, so he certainly didn't need to buy pastries or candies.
Upon entering the shop, the air was immediately filled with a sweet and fragrant aroma. The two watched as Hu Wenhua unhesitatingly pointed to a variety of colored candies and ordered three servings, along with jujube paste cake. They couldn't help but swallow hard.
Strange, Hu Wenhua is really too generous!
He, a grown man, doesn't like to eat this, yet he's so generous with his nephews and nieces. Thinking of their own children, the two of them gritted their teeth and bought a cheap candy ball as well!
It really hurts, but when I think about how happy my kids are to see the candy, I realize it's not unbearable.
Besides, Hu Wenhua is willing to buy things for his nephews and nieces, so why wouldn't they, as fathers, buy things for their own children?
The two of them, carrying candy balls, repeatedly tried to persuade themselves.
Then Hu Wenhua went into a silver shop and bought a silver hairpin.
Li Wen and Xu Laosan: ...This is really something we can't afford!
Even if I were to buy it for my wife, I couldn't afford it.
Hu Wenhua carefully wrapped the silver hairpin with the auspicious cloud pattern in cloth and placed it close to her chest.
He didn't dare let the two of them see it closely, fearing that she would be recognized after wearing it.
Li Wen said enviously, "A silver hairpin is good; it's a valuable possession, and it can be used as money in case of trouble in the future."
If I could buy one for Guifen, she would be overjoyed.
Li Wen sighed. He decided to wait a little longer and maybe he could buy one after selling rabbits a few more times.
Xu Laosan was also envious, but his family wasn't as well-off as the old village chief's, and his wife was even more frugal than him, so she definitely wouldn't let him buy it.
I'll sneak over and buy it sometime, and get her a decent piece of jewelry to make her happy.
