Chapter 58

"You're right. Madam really has a happy event. It's my son. He got engaged last month, and he's going to take part in this year's autumn exam. He said he's going to have a happy event."

Aunt Chen spoke with joy, as if her son had already entered high school.

"That's really a happy event. Congratulations, aunt, and congratulations to brother Chen for high school."

In her memory, Chen Yuan and Jiang Wenxue seemed to be from the same academy, and they were also admitted in the same year. At that time, she only cared about Jiang Wenxue and didn't care about the rest. I don't know how big brother Chen got in the exam?
"Hehe... I'm looking forward to the good words from Miss Bai, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll treat you to sweets at that time..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a cough, "You old woman, there is still something to do when Miss Bai is here, why are you still dragging people around?"

"Yes, yes, look at me opening my mouth, once I open the gate, it will be endless."

When Aunt Chen received the old man's gaze, her expression suddenly turned embarrassing, she was overjoyed, and forgot that the girl had just lost her father.

Moreover, she heard her son regret more than once, saying that God is jealous of talents. Bai Xiucai's talents are counted in the whole Ba County. If he didn't delay the scientific examination, he might have embarked on an official career.

Hearing what his son said, the old couple felt it was a pity. Looking at Bai Ningxiang at this moment, it was pitiful, and they don't know how this girl survived?

Bai Ningxiang knew that the old couple were kind-hearted, so she was already very grateful for being able to take her into consideration.

"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I like talking to Aunt Chen." She glanced at the cloth on the shelf and pointed gently, "Summer is coming soon, I want to tear some pieces of muslin to make summer clothes."

"Miss Bai just came here just in time. The new products that just arrived yesterday are all plain colors. Which one do you like?" As she said, Aunt Chen swiftly picked up several colors on the counter.

"This light blue is very suitable for my mother. I use this light green and this lake green, and just cut each into two."

Bai Ningxiang chose a few simple colors. Thinking of Bai Wu and Uncle Zhong from the tea garden, she chose navy blue for each of them, but the fabrics were ordinary cotton, breathable and sweat-absorbent, perfect for working.

Aunt Chen agreed with a smile. She has filial piety and is not suitable for big red and big green. This is just right.

They are all acquaintances, and Mrs. Zhuang also felt sorry for their orphans and widows, which made them a lot cheaper.

"Fine cotton cloth is usually sold by auntie for 22 cents. If you count it as twenty cents, you need one foot and two for one body, seven feet for six pieces, and one tael or four. This navy blue is fifteen cents a foot, two cents. The body needs three feet, 450 Wen. The total is 54 Wen for [-] Yuan, and the four Wen Qian will be wiped off by you.”

"Thank you, Ma'am," Bai Ningxiang paid the silver, gave one tael or nine, and asked for some fabric suitable for shoe uppers. Aunt Chen was very happy, and gave some rags.

With good craftsmanship, you can also stitch together beautiful quilts.

"Uncle Chen, is brother Chen Yuan at home? My nephew is looking for..." Jiang Wenwen just said this when he saw Bai Ningxiang. He stared at her with a complicated expression and forgot to speak for a moment.

Bai Ningxiang looked at Jiang Wenxue and couldn't explain it all. What's wrong with grandma's legs today? They bump into each other wherever they go?
It was agreed that we would never see each other again in this life, and within a day, my head was almost smashed.

Bai Ningxiang couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly, she decided that she would not come to town if she had nothing to do in the future.
