After seeing the two off, Li Yan and Yang Dalang walked back.
Along the way, Yang Dalang's eyes kept sweeping towards Li Yan.
When Li Yan turned around, she happened to meet Yang Dalang's inquiring gaze. Caught in the act, Yang Dalang awkwardly withdrew his gaze.
Li Yan: "What do you want to say?"
Yang Dalang asked awkwardly, "Miss, when you rented the house, you were thinking of settling that family in, right?"
Li Yan: "Why do you think so?"
Yang Dalang scratched his hair and said, "I feel that even if Guo Da rejected the girl, you would help them find a place to live! Otherwise, why would you ask them where to go?"
Li Yan smiled and shook her head: "I'm not thinking like you think, I just asked casually!"
Yang Dalang looked at Li Yan suspiciously. Was he really overthinking it?
When the two of them passed by the grocery store, Li Yan said to Yang Dalang, "Brother Yang, let's go in and buy some food. We can cook there tonight!"
Yang Dalang followed Li Yan into the grocery store, which was filled with all kinds of grains. The shelves were filled with not only white flour and corn from the north, but also various kinds of rice from the south.
Seeing the snow-white rice, Li Yan couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and she felt a little craving for the taste of rice!
Li Yan asked the waiter beside her: "How much is this rice?"
The waiter hurriedly introduced: "Sir, this rice is sixteen cents per liter, and the old rice over there is thirteen cents per liter!"
"What about beans, millet, and flour?"
The waiter introduced them one by one: "They are eight, ten, and fifteen coins per liter. How much do you need?"
Li Yan considered for a moment and said to the waiter, "Give me a bucket of each of these."
Upon hearing this, the young man busied himself with work, and after packing up the things, he handed them to Yang Dalang standing beside him: "Sir, the total is 620 coins!"
Li Yan paid the money and the two of them left the grocery store.
Looking at Yang Dalang holding a large bag of food, Li Yan said: "Let's go back to the inn first. We can talk about the rest after we have settled down!"
When the two returned to the inn, more than half of the forsythia in the backyard had disappeared.
Yang Erlang was sitting there with his legs crossed, wandering around bored. Seeing his elder brother coming back with a big bag of things, he quickly stood up and went forward to help.
Yang Dalang put down the food in his hand and asked his brother beside him: "Is this all that is left here?"
Yang Erlang nodded: "One more trip and we'll have it all shipped!"
Then he took out a water bag from the side and handed it to Li Yan: "Is this yours? I just went to the kitchen to get some water and found it in the corner.
Li Yan took the water bag from Yang Erlang's hand, carefully identified it, and confirmed that it was Lin Feng's water bag.
Li Yan put away the water bag and prepared to ask her uncle again after she settled down.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Lin Feng drove the carriage back to the inn.
He had already made three trips to load the last few items onto the carriage. Lin Feng pointed to an extra sack and asked Li Yan, "What is this?"
Li Yan explained: "Uncle, this is the food I bought!"
Lin Feng loaded the things into the car and praised: "You are really thoughtful."
The group followed Lin Feng's car back to the rented courtyard. Monkey was cleaning the house at that time.
Seeing Lin Feng driving the carriage in, several people busied themselves putting the goods in place.
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already past dinner time.
Li Yan simply rolled out some noodles. Everyone was hungry and slurped up all the noodles in the pot.
