Wei Mingshen frowned and said, "He hasn't come out of it yet."
Xiao Jiu looked at him sincerely and said, "Brother Wei, what can I do for you?"
Wei Mingshen was dumbfounded and immediately reminded her, "Xiao Jiu, this is working hours, be careful not to cut the wrong size."
Xiao Jiu assured him, "Don't worry, I won't go wrong. I keep my personal and professional life separate. Brother Wei, I really want to soothe your grief."
Wei Mingshen grinned, then changed his mind: "I've let it go."
"Now that you've let go, you can start a new relationship. Brother Wei, do you think I... am I right for you?"
Even though Wei Mingshen had seen a lot, he couldn't resist such a direct declaration of love.
So he steeled himself and said directly, "It's not suitable."
The light in Xiao Jiu's eyes didn't go out. Instead, she said persistently, "Brother Wei, don't say that. We've only just met. How do you know we're not a good match? Let's get to know each other better first."
Wei Mingshen said, "No need to understand, we're not a good match. You're more suitable to be my sister."
Xiao Jiu's eyes darted around. "If you treat me like a little sister, it means you like me, so I have a chance."
Wei Mingshen was completely speechless.
Today is market day in Matou Town. Market is held every five days, and this is the only market in the dozen or so villages in Matou Town. Also, since there isn't much work to do in the fields in spring, and it's also the time of seasonal change, everyone takes advantage of the relatively quiet time to go to the market to buy some necessities.
Even before we reached the market, the streets were already bustling with people.
Su Xueli left her bicycle at the bike-watching area, then slung her bag over her shoulder and walked with the crowd toward the market.
When they arrived at the market, it was already crowded with people. Su Xueli squeezed her way to the flower seed vendor's stall, squatted down, and asked the old man what kind of flower seeds he had displayed.
The old man was very kind. Pointing to the flower seeds in the various open cloth bags, he said, "These are balsam seeds, these are night-blooming jasmine seeds, these are peony seeds, these are cosmos seeds, these are periwinkle seeds..."
Su Xueli seemed to see the lush and vibrant garden she had created, and she said happily, "Grandpa, give me a little of everything."
Seeing that she was a "big customer," the old man happily packed a small bag of each type of flower seed for her. Su Xueli didn't haggle, paid the money, took the flower seeds, and left.
She took a couple of steps and then turned back to ask the old man, "Grandpa, I'd like to buy some roses. Where can I buy them?"
Roses need to be grafted, so you need to buy grafted rhizomes.
The old man pointed to a spot and said, "Go inside, there's an old lady selling roses, she has roses of all colors."
Su Xueli went happily.
Actually, she thinks that among all the flowers, the rose is the most cost-effective because it blooms every month, has the longest flowering period, and of course, the flowers are beautiful.
She finally found the old lady who sold roses, and pointed to the stems displayed in front of her, asking what color the roses were.
The old lady smiled and pointed to each tree, telling her that there were bright red ones, magenta ones, pink ones, all kinds of red ones, as well as yellow ones and white ones.
Su Xueli bought one of every color.
She asked for a lot, so the old lady gave her a snakeskin bag, put the roots of more than ten rose bushes inside, and carried it on her back as she walked out.
After leaving the area selling odds and ends, she came to a secluded spot at the southernmost end of the market, where the slaughterhouse was located, where pigs, sheep, and other livestock were slaughtered.
She bought three catties of pork, a bunch of green onions, and some spring vegetables. As she bought more, she couldn't carry any more, so she struggled to walk out of the market, carrying and hugging the vegetables.
"Isn't this Sydney? Why did you buy so much stuff!" a friendly voice rang out.
Su Xueli turned her head and saw that it was Wei Mingshen's cousin-in-law: Yun.
Just last night, in the wasteland south of the village, Wei Mingshen overheard the woman having an affair.
