Chapter 194: She is as cute as Ah Wu when she was a child

Lao Mao laughed and said, "It sounds like this Yu family is also interesting. They argued with the cloth shop owner for a long time for a small profit, but they even bought cloth for the maids to make clothes, and it was almost the same as their own material. Does this mean they love money or not?"

Old Lady Liu hummed, and did not comment on this. She just said to the man, "Follow and see."

The man cupped his fist in agreement and left the carriage.

As for Mrs. Wei, after she had negotiated a satisfactory price with the cloth shop owner, she nodded "mercifully" and took out a silver coin from her cloth bag to pay the money.

The cloth shop owner wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, and sighed again and again: "Old sister, it's really not easy to earn some money from you."

"Nonsense, I don't know you." Mrs. Wei said with a smile, "You have made a lot of money, so don't pretend to cry - I will pack it up and send it directly to my house."

The cloth shop owner quickly agreed.

When Yu Sanbao was reselling cloth, he had many dealings with the owner of this cloth shop. After looking at the account book, Mrs. Wei knew the purchase and selling prices of the cloth.

That is to say, now, the Yu family store is not very big, and there is enough space to sell cloth, but the profit is not as much as that from selling other small items. After thinking about it, Yu Sanbao rarely sells those cloths in the store. Occasionally, he will bring some cloth back with him, which will be a bargain for the owner of the cloth shop.

After buying the cloth, Mrs. Wei felt much more relieved and planned to take Xingxing to the bookstore.

Xingxing has been going to the county town frequently these days, and every day she asks her brothers to teach her how to read. Her efforts have paid off, as she has learned quite a few words.

Xingxing had previously shown Mrs. Wei a page of calligraphy she had written, and she had never expected that Mrs. Wei was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

Mrs. Wei herself could not recognize many words. She could only recognize the few words commonly used in the account books that Yu Sanbao had taught her, but she could not recognize them but could not write them.

Now that I see that my granddaughter, who is only four years old, can recognize such a large page of words, how can I not be excited?

Mrs. Wei even thought that if girls could take exams, her dear Xingxing would definitely be able to get the top score!

So, after Mrs. Wei took Xingxing to buy cloth today, she thought of taking Xingxing to the bookstore to pick out some picture books that Xingxing liked.

Mrs. Wei told Shuanghe to go back to the store, and she took Xingxing's hand and went to the bookstore.

Mapo County is not big, and there are not many bookstores in the county.

However, books are always rare, and most places that sell books display them in a very elegant manner.

When Mrs. Wei went in, she was a little terrified.

Even the voice became a few degrees lower.

"Xingxing, take a look and choose the books you like. Grandma will buy them for you." Mrs. Wei spoke to Xingxing in a low voice, not wanting to make any loud noise in such an elegant place.

Xing Xing was influenced by Mrs. Wei and even nodded less vigorously, for fear of disturbing others.

Xingxing walked forward quietly and picked up only one picture book.

——This picture book is not very thick, but because it is mostly printed illustrations, it is more expensive than ordinary books.

Xingxing had seen families worrying about money, and she knew they were not the kind of people who were ignorant of the hardships of money.

"Grandma, Xingxing wants this one!" Xingxing held up the picture book in her hand with a sweet smile.

Mrs. Wei didn't even ask the price and just said "OK".

After a pause, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but ask Xingxing: "...Is this one enough?"

Xing Xing nodded her head: "One book is enough! It can be read for a long time! Xing Xing will take it back and read it with Ju Ge'er! ... When Bang Ge'er grows up, I can give it to him too!"

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but touch Xingxing's little head.

The grandfather and grandson opened a bookstore. Although Mrs. Wei was a country woman, she had a great respect for books. She regarded even the picture books for her granddaughter as treasures.

After buying it, Mrs. Wei took out a piece of cloth from her bosom and wrapped up the small schoolbook with great care.

In the carriage parked on the street, Old Lady Liu lifted a corner of the curtain and narrowed her eyes when she saw this scene.

Lao Mao sighed, "Grandpa, although the Yu family is a country family, they are not barbarians. They respect books very much... I heard that the Yu family has four school-age children, all of whom have been sent to school. This is really a great achievement for a country farmer family."

Old Lady Liu didn't say anything, but her expression showed that she was satisfied.

He was a university graduate, and in his eyes, it was very commendable that a farmer's family was so studious and motivated.

Not long after, Mrs. Wei took Xingxing's hand and went to buy some food that the child liked.

Lao Mao sighed again: "This old lady dotes on her granddaughter very much..."

He couldn't help but glance at Old Lady Liu.

This time, Old Lady Liu finally couldn't help but speak: "...Her little granddaughter is as cute as Ah Wu when she was a child."

Perhaps because of this "loveliness", Old Lady Liu let the carriage follow the family all the way. Finally, she couldn't help it and got off the carriage. She pretended to meet a tea stall by chance and asked for directions.

Mrs. Wei and Xingxing had no suspicion and thought that this was just an ordinary wealthy old lady, so they enthusiastically showed Old Lady Liu the way.

Old Lady Liu looked puzzled: "...How do we get here?"

Xing Xing whispered to Grandma Wei: "Grandma, this old man looks older than Grandpa, why don't we send him over?"

Mrs. Wei also had the same idea. Since she had nothing else to do at the moment, she might as well send the Buddha off to the west.

Only when she heard the words "older than grandpa", Old Lady Liu could not help but freeze.

Lao Mao, who was following behind, almost laughed out loud.

Xingxing and Mrs. Wei enthusiastically sent Old Lady Liu and Lao Mao, who were walking, to a restaurant.

——This is the address that Old Lady Liu mentioned casually.

Old Lady Liu thanked her, and Mrs. Wei simply waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. Mapo County is so small that you can't walk a few steps."

He just took Xingxing and left.

She didn't have the slightest thought of trying to get close to him just because he was dressed richly.

Old Lady Liu and Old Mao went up to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, and could still see the backs of Mrs. Wei and Xingxing walking hand in hand into the distance on the long street.

Lao Mao sighed and said, "This old lady should be the head of the Yu family. After meeting her, I found her to be very sincere and enthusiastic."

Old Lady Liu did not comment.

The two ordered a pot of tea, and after a sip, Old Lady Liu suddenly said, "...Awu has been in Mapo County for a long time, and our family has never opened the door to welcome guests. I remember that your grandson is studying in the county school now, right? He calls me his grandfather, so he should also invite some students of the same age to come to our house to study together."

Lao Mao probably understood what Old Master Liu meant.

Does this mean that he wants to hold a banquet and let his grandson invite those young men from the Yu family to visit the Liu family's villa?
