"Mom, Grandma Zhu is so nice!"
Li Yaozong held Gu Qingcheng's hand and spoke in a childish voice.
"Yeah! He is indeed a warm-hearted person."
Gu Qingcheng responded casually, but her thoughts were churning.
Uncle Zhu is kind yet shrewd like a common man, while Aunt Zhu is pure enthusiasm.
These ordinary people are certainly not perfect, but they have their own unique kindness.
Inexplicably, Gu Qingcheng gained a deeper understanding of this world and the life of the market in this era.
This is no longer a false world derived from a storybook, but a vivid and real existence.
A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.
She seemed to have touched something, which also caused her mood to change slightly.
Gu Qingcheng herself was unaware of all this.
Not to mention the little idiot Huoshui.
It has already "prejudice" that Gu Qingcheng in this world is a villain with bad character.
Will the big villain feel compassion for the lowly common people?
Ha, instead of believing this, it is better to believe that the heroine Han Qiuyu can create original works.
Gu Qingcheng found the Yu family shop according to the address provided by Aunt Zhu.
She also followed Aunt Zhu's instructions and revealed her identity, "My last name is Gu, and I just rented the yard of Uncle Zhu's house in the back street."
"Oh, you rented Lao Zhu's house! Wow, you have good taste. His yard is really nice."
Boss Yu is a fat and white guy. He speaks with a smile and looks very kind.
However, Gu Qingcheng did not ignore the shrewdness that flashed in his eyes.
You can't call someone a smiling tiger or a profiteer the moment you meet him, but this person is definitely not as easy to talk to as he appears to be.
Sure enough, when it came to the bargaining stage, Gu Qingcheng realized how shrewd Boss Yu was.
That tongue is so eloquent.
The key is that what they say is particularly soothing, as if they are really considering you.
Not only do I earn your money, I also want to make you feel grateful.
This level is really not low.
Gu Qingcheng knew what was going on, but she still followed the shopkeeper Yu's instructions and paid the money "gratefully".
"Ms. Gu, if you need clothes in the future, just come here. I not only sell ready-made clothes, but I can also make them for you."
Boss Yu helped Gu Qingcheng pack up quickly, while continuing to solicit business.
"Okay! Come again later!"
Gu Qingcheng responded with a smile, then picked up the bundled bedding and other items.
Well, it’s quite heavy.
Gu Qingcheng almost didn't mention it.
Boss Yu was very smart. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was just a "rich lady" who had never done any heavy work, he hurriedly called the shop assistants.
"Xiao Duozi, why don't you help quickly?"
A boy of about thirteen or fourteen responded with an "Hey" and then swiftly came to Gu Qingcheng and helped her carry her luggage.
"Thank you! Thank you, Boss Yu."
Gu Qingcheng thanked him again, she was not polite.
There was no way. She had never done this kind of physical work before, and she couldn't do it.
She could indeed live the life of an ordinary person and endure hardships, but there was no need for her to seek hardship.
There is a shortcut that can save energy, why doesn't she take it?
Although Xiao Duozi looked thin, he was actually quite strong. He carried the big bag easily and followed behind Gu Qingcheng.
When passing by the Zhu family, Aunt Zhu was standing at the door chatting with the neighbors on both sides.
With her sharp eyes, she spotted Gu Qingcheng at the first moment.
"Oh, you bought it back? Old Yu is nice. He even asked Xiao Duozi to send it back to you?"
"Yes, thanks to the good shop you recommended. When Mr. Yu heard that I rented your yard, he gave me the lowest price."
Gu Qingcheng thanked him politely.
She omitted the process of bargaining with Boss Yu.
No need!
Besides, Aunt Zhu doesn't want to hear this.
Gu Qingcheng felt the "reality" of this world and integrated into it with the utmost enthusiasm.
So, she began to live like an ordinary citizen.
A casual compliment to the landlord won the old lady's "reserved" giggle, and the relationship between the two seemed to become closer.
After making Aunt Zhu happy with her praise, Gu Qingcheng said goodbye and left.
They arrived at the courtyard and opened the gate. Xiao Duozi helped put the big bag on the eight-immortals table in the living room.
Gu Qingcheng took out a dime from his pocket.
After the confrontation with Boss Yu, Gu Qingcheng finally realized that below the silver dollar there were silver dimes, as well as nickel coins and copper coins of even smaller denominations.
Ordinary people mostly spend money in dimes and nickels.
Dollars like oceans are rarely used.
The face value is too large.
Some small vendors can't even give change.
Gu Qingcheng got a lot of change from Boss Yu, so she simply picked out a coin with a face value of "one dime" and handed it to Xiao Duozi.
Xiao Duozi didn't answer. His face flushed red as he whispered, "Madam, just give me a penny."
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something.
He took the dime back and then picked out a one-cent copper coin.
"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am! I wish you a long and healthy life!"
Xiao Duozi took the copper coin, was overjoyed, and bowed deeply.
He was an apprentice and was only provided with food but no wages.
However, if the shopkeeper comes across a generous customer who gives a tip of one or two cents, the shopkeeper will "generously" let him keep it.
