Gu Lili wandered into a clothing store and went inside to take a look.
To be honest, being mistaken for a man by Han Mingyue just now made Gu Lili feel very hurt.
I used to look beautiful wherever I went, and I would even put on makeup.
But now, I am...
Gu Lili looked down at her clothes. Actually, she couldn't blame people for mistaking her for a man.
Now that I can legally manage my money, I should be able to dress myself up a bit without any problem.
Upon entering the clothing store, you are greeted by a variety of clothes.
It looks nice, but the colors don't seem to be as plentiful as in modern designs.
My younger sister likes embroidery, right? Maybe if she studies hard, she could open a clothing store.
With her older sister's past life insights helping her cheat, she's sure this clothing store will be a huge success.
The waiter looked at Gu Lili, who was dressed in shabby clothes, but ignored her.
The waitress was a woman in her early twenties with a sharp and mean face; she was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Instead, he stood to the side, arms crossed, watching.
Gu Lili was used to this; the saying "looking down on people" was quite true.
Gu Lili took a fancy to a pale yellow tulle dress, thinking that Gu Huanhuan would look beautiful in it.
She reached out to check the fabric, but before her hand even reached the edge of the garment, it was slapped away.
"If you want to watch, stand still! Don't touch it, you can't afford to pay for it if you get it dirty!" the waiter said in a shrill voice.
Gu Lili's eyes turned cold instantly, but she didn't show any anger on her face.
Gu Lili asked casually, "How much does this dress cost?"
The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "Eight hundred coins! You couldn't afford it even if I asked!"
Just then, the shopkeeper came over after hearing the noise.
However, he didn't say anything after seeing Gu Lili.
Instead, he glanced at Gu Lili, then at the door, and gestured to the waiter to send the person out.
Gu Lili took in their gazes and couldn't help but sneer.
Before the waiter could speak, Gu Lili took out the purse from her waist.
He pulled out a hundred-tael silver note and asked, "I wonder if this silver note is enough to buy your dress?"
The waiter and the shopkeeper stared wide-eyed at the silver notes in Gu Lili's hand.
The waiter nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, yes! Your silver notes can buy many pieces of clothing here!"
The shopkeeper trotted over and said obsequiously, "Sir, which garment would you like? I'll personally fetch it for you!"
The two seemed to have completely forgotten their attitude towards Gu Lili earlier.
Gu Lili, however, did not buy it and instead smiled as she put the silver notes back into her money bag.
"But the attitude of those two just now has made me not want to buy anymore!"
After Gu Lili finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the store, heading straight for Alan's clothing store across the street.
The waiter and the shopkeeper were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"It's all your fault! You haven't been able to properly entertain the guests all day, and look what happened! They've all left in anger!" the shopkeeper yelled.
The waiter lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
But in his heart he was thinking, "I learned all of this from you!"
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Lili came out from across the street carrying several sets of clothes, making the two of them feel heartbroken.
Gu Lili carried the clothes she had bought and continued shopping.
Gu Lili bought some pork, found an empty alley, and bought a small wooden cart from the mall.
When they came out again, they were pushing a cart full of grain.
This small cart isn't very big; it can be placed directly on the oxcart.
This will save us a lot of effort in the future.
The reason I didn't buy it before was because the stroller was too expensive and I was afraid it would arouse suspicion.
Now that they have money, they can buy some things for themselves.
When they arrived at the city gate, Gu Erniu was already on the oxcart.
However, he did not find Gu Lili.
Gu Lili's body was now mostly hidden by the tall grain stones. Gu Erniu's eyes lit up as he looked at the cart not far away.
If they had this vehicle, it would be so much easier to haul grain.
But this seems very expensive!
Although he saw people selling them, there were very few people pushing them on the street.
The cart came to a steady stop in front of the oxcart, and only then did Gu Erniu realize that Gu Lili had returned.
"Sister, did you buy this stroller?" Gu Erniu asked in surprise.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "We're all too weak. With this cart, we can save some energy!"
Gu Erniu and Sizhu's father quickly stepped forward to help Gu Lili load the grain onto the cart.
The grain was loaded onto the oxcart, and Gu Erniu couldn't put it down as he looked at the handcart in front of him.
Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that no matter what, boys could never resist cars.
"Erniu, try pushing it, see if it's easy to push!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
Gu Erniu had been waiting for Gu Lili to say those words. Almost as soon as Gu Lili finished speaking, Gu Erniu pushed the cart and started trying it out.
It really is very handy.
He pushed it back and forth several times, then retreated somewhat embarrassedly to the front of the car.
"Sister, you made a really good purchase!" Gu Erniu praised.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded. The three of them worked together to lift the cart onto the oxcart and headed home.
It takes about three hours to get home from Mingyue Town.
It's estimated that it was already dark when they got home.
Gu Lili bought some meat buns from the mall, and the three of them shared them along the way.
I rushed as fast as I could and finally arrived home before dark.
Today, the round trip took about six hours, and Gu Lili felt her bottom was sore from the constant jolting.
After getting off the oxcart, Gu Lili stretched, and then the three of them unloaded the grain they had bought.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou were overjoyed to see Gu Lili and Gu Erniu return and gathered around them.
"Sister, Second Brother, you even bought a stroller!" Gu Sigou's eyes lit up when he saw the stroller.
Gu Erniu laughed and said, "I'll push you two around in a bit!"
The two nodded repeatedly, so happy they almost jumped for joy.
Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh along.
She took out fifty coins from her purse and handed them to Sizhu's father. Fifty coins was just about right for the journey back and forth today.
The fare was agreed upon by Gu Lili and Sizhu's father on the way, so Sizhu's father did not refuse.
After seeing off Sizhu's father, Gu Lili watched from the courtyard gate as Gu Erniu pushed Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou around happily on the road.
Seeing the three happy people, Gu Lili also felt very satisfied.
Then, his eyes drifted to the place where they were building their house.
Gu Lili frowned again; those rocks were indeed not easy to dig.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Gu Lili's mind.
I used to really enjoy watching videos of people going to the beach to catch fish. I saw a blogger grilling fish with stones on the beach, but the stones exploded.
Perhaps we could try using fire?
