Chapter 65 Purchasing
  "Yueyue, is that your master's house?"

Zhang Ruoan and Su Yueyue asked while chatting as they walked towards the market.

"Yes."

"So are they good to you?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Ruoan regretted them.

If it was not good, how could Yueyue come back today?
  "Mammy and the young master treat me very well."

The young man looked worried, but he gradually felt relieved after seeing the faint smile on her face.

In more than a month, Yueyue has gained some weight, and her face is smiling more than before.

That means her life is good now, at least better than before.

"Then I'll feel relieved."

At first, when he knew that Su Yueyue had sold herself to become a maid, he felt a little uncomfortable. Even though he could understand her choice, his little childhood sweetheart suddenly went to someone else's house, and no one knew the sadness in the young man's heart.

The two of them walked around the market and bought a lot of things.

There were many people at home today, and Su Yueyue also bought a lot of vegetables and meat.

Zhang Ruoan rushed to pay the bill, but was blocked by Su Yueyue.

"Brother Ruo'an, you don't have to be like this. This is what Mommy meant."

The girl smiled happily, and the two shallow pear dimples seemed to be filled with thin wine, which was a bit intoxicating.

"it is good."

Although the account was not settled, Zhang Ruoan also went to buy some charcoal for the winter.

Now that Aunt Feng and the others had just moved to the town, they were still lacking everything. Instead of buying some pastries, it would be better to give them more things that they could use on daily basis.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a middle-aged man selling charcoal, leading a donkey cart and looking around in the market. He happened to be the charcoal seller he was looking for.

Qingshui Town is surrounded by mountains, and there are several households that burn charcoal. The better charcoal is sent to the county town or other places for sale, so the charcoal here is cheaper than elsewhere.

Usually after the burned charcoal is sent to other places, a charcoal seller will come with a donkey cart to sell the remaining small charcoal.

Ordinary charcoal costs five cents per catty. Zhang Ruoan didn't have much money, so he only bought ten catties.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Aunt Feng and the others can still light a fire in the yard to keep warm during the day, but there is no way to keep warm at night.

Ten pounds of charcoal is not much, and lighting some at night can help them sleep more peacefully.

Zhang Ruoan and the charcoal seller were doing business, but Su Yueyue on the side couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

The little girl's laughter was very clear and sweet, causing everyone around her to turn their heads.

Zhang Ruoan, who looked elegant and elegant, was wearing a long coat, his hands and body were covered in dark charcoal dust, and he was looking at her with an innocent face.

"Yueyue, why are you laughing?"

"Hahahahaha, no, it's okay, it's just you, brother Ruo'an, you look like you were a child..."

Su Yueyue's stomach ached as she laughed.

When I was a child, a charcoal seller would go to the village, and he would drop some small pieces of charcoal along the way. The children in the village would follow him with a small basket to pick it up. Although Zhang Ruoan was unwilling at that time, he followed her and the Xie family. The dolls went together to join in the fun.

Although all the broken charcoal they picked up were snatched by the children from the next village, the four of them all fell down while fighting for the things.

Only Zhang Ruoan was covered in charcoal dust by them.

That afternoon, Aunt Zhang took him to the river and washed him for half an hour before washing him clean.

Now seeing charcoal ash on his body, Su Yueyue thought of what happened when she was a child.

"Don't laugh, your stomach hurts." Everyone stared at the two of them. Although Zhang Ruoan was a little embarrassed, he didn't say anything to shut up Su Yueyue.

"Okay, okay, come here and I'll wipe it for you."

Su Yueyue wiped away her tears from laughter, took out a handkerchief from her arms and patted the charcoal dust on his clothes.

Seeing that all the dirt on her clothes had been patted off, the little girl nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll go to Buzhuang again, and let's go back."

On this trip, she bought a chicken, two pounds of pork and ten eggs, as well as some cabbage, potatoes and other items.

It's a pity that it's not afternoon yet and Gu Erlang hasn't come yet. Nanny Cai has more than 300 cash left, plus her own monthly money of 140 cash, which makes a total of 500 cash.

Buying two thicker quilts should be enough.

The two of them were walking side by side and were about to go to Buzhuang, but they happened to bump into Gu Erlang coming in carrying a bucket.

"Brother Gu, are there any sea bass today?"

Although she didn't know why he came to sell fish in the morning instead of selling fish today, Su Yueyue happily stopped him.

"It's Mrs. Su. We have some bass. Today we caught a big bass. It weighs two kilograms."

Gu Erlang was originally worried that the regular patrons would miss it if they didn't know when he came, but he didn't want to meet someone when he just arrived.

It's strange to say that Mrs. Su always buys sea bass every time she comes here. She doesn't seem to like eating other crucian carp and carp.

"Well, you can help me weigh it."

The young master eats fish every day. She originally thought that the young master would be unhappy if there was no bass today, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Erlang again.

"Brother Gu, why did you come to sell fish this morning?"

While Gu Erlang was weighing the fish, Su Yueyue asked her doubts.

"I sold it today and won't be here for another half month."

Gu Erlang sighed and said.

"why is that?"

"My grandma is sick and my sister cannot be taken care of at home. I have to take my grandma to see a doctor. If the ferry stops, it will be inconvenient for everyone, so I will have to stop selling fish to wait until my mother's illness is cured. I'll come again."

"So this is ah."

Su Yueyue nodded, and after just a few words of greeting, she gave the money and took Zhang Ruoan away.

"Yueyue, you are a little different from before."

The boy was surprised by her change.

Although Yueyue was good in the past, she would be very alienated from people she didn't know. Even if she was not familiar with the villagers in the village, she would not have too much contact.

But since the moment they met today, he noticed that the smile on Yueyue's face didn't seem to stop.

She became a little more cheerful.

"Have it?"

Su Yueyue frowned slightly, a little confused.

Perhaps the Lu family's life is too comfortable, and they don't need to be constantly wary of the people in the Su family's old house like they used to in the village.

That's why she has different changes.

The two of them went to Cloth Shop to buy two more quilts, and then they were ready to go back with some difficulty.

As they were walking hard, they saw the Xie brothers, who were carrying things in both hands, looking at them suspiciously.

After confirming that he had not mistakenly identified the person, Xie Laoer ran over to help pick up a quilt.

"Yueyue, Brother Ruo'an, why are you two here?"

"We came to buy some things, are you going back too?"

Looking at the pastries and charcoal they were carrying, Zhang Ruoan knew that they were also here to buy gifts.

"Yes, then let's go back together."

The four people walked back in large and small bundles. The stove in the yard had been set up, and a group of people were sitting around the fire without saying a word.

"Master Lu, would you like to take one?"

Feng Shuzhen sat aside and looked at the roasted sweet potatoes. After a moment of hesitation, she chose the one that looked the sweetest and handed it over.

After all, Yueyue is the master of the house, so it’s not good for him to just sit there.

"Thank you."

Lu Xingzhou was surprised for a moment, and then reached out to take it.
