Gu Nian pushed Luo Shimiao in front of the watermelon: "Pick a smaller one."
The girl tried hard to control her smile, which was about to burst out laughing, and said seriously, "Since Teacher Gu wants to eat watermelon, let's buy a small one."
Gu Nian looked at Luo Shimiao with amusement, but didn't expose her.
However, it was too small for six people, so they ended up choosing a medium-sized one.
Watermelon, grapes, and mango together cost 50 yuan.
Luo Shimiao also bought two tubes of noodles, choosing the cheapest kind, for breakfast in the next few days.
At the supermarket entrance, Luo Shimiao clutched his last 38 yuan and said, "Let's go to the market to buy groceries."
"Aren't they available in the supermarket?" Gu Nian asked Luo Shimiao, puzzled.
You'll find out in a moment.
The two returned to the market.

With just his words, he managed to buy several bags of vegetables for 38 yuan.
Gu Nian remained silent throughout, obediently playing the role of a tool.
As Luo Shimiao walked out of the market, he rubbed his aching muscles from laughing.
She glanced behind her, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She was no longer the innocent, naive girl she had been when she went grocery shopping.
Xiao Zhang helped Director Li walk out slowly.
Director Li clutched his chest, looking as if he was about to faint.
Luo Shimiao deserves much of the credit for turning him into this.
Through Luo Shimiao's relentless propaganda, Director Li was portrayed as a stingy, bald, bad-tempered, and demanding old man who was strict with his employees.
