"In the kitchen, when we came in, the shopkeeper warmly received us when he heard that we were Lulu's family and relatives. He also personally showed us where Lulu lived. Sister, you can't even imagine it. It's so beautiful. That room
, The carvings and the curtains are so beautiful. We were treated to a big meal just now, and after we finished eating, we were all chatting." Lamei said.
After hearing this, Haitang understood in her heart that it was done.
"Lulu said she would stay here from today on, and the restaurant would pay for things like clothes and furniture," Lamei said.
"Today is almost over. Call those two and let's go back early. It's not good to delay other people's business like this. Shopkeeper, please be polite. The two sisters really don't regard themselves as outsiders." Haitang ordered.
Wintersweet called Granny Begonia and Second Aunt, and they followed her out of the house reluctantly, and kept gobbling up Begonia and Wintersweet with their eyes. You two were the only ones who were ignorant.
Lamei led the two aunts outside, told Lulu some things, and left some coins for her. Finally, she asked the shopkeeper to take good care of Lulu and left.
"Let's go to the grocery street. I want to buy something. You guys should also go shopping and see if you need anything." Haitang said.
"I've bought a whole bag here, but it's not too much. I'm tired from sitting, so let's go for a walk." The second aunt held the hand of the eldest aunt, and they bought one bag for each person. Who knows what they bought.
Lamei shook her head at Haitang and made a gesture as if she had spent a lot of money.
When she arrived at the grocery street, Haitang bought dozens of earthen jars, large and small, and tested each one with water to see if there was any leakage.
"Why do we buy this? Can we use it to dye cloth?" Lamei asked.
"That's right, why did you buy that? It was a waste of money." Granny Haitang said.
"Ahem..." Haitang coughed twice and stared at her mother-in-law for a few seconds. She seemed to know that she was wrong and did not dare to speak.
"Sister Haitang, please don't take her out in the future. She is mindlessly taking care of things and doing too many things. It almost tortured me to death along the way." Lamei whispered.
"It's autumn, and some heat-loving plants have stopped growing, and even less so in winter. How can we dye cloth and mix dyes without plants?" Haitang said.
Wintersweet scratched her head. Whether the plant grows or not has nothing to do with the earthen pot.
"You want to move the plants indoors to raise them?" Wintersweet suddenly enlightened.
"That's half right. I plan to cultivate some hydroponic plants while the sunshine is still abundant, so as to provide us with a steady supply of dyes in winter," Haitang said.
"What is hydroponics?" Wintersweet was confused again.
"You will know when the time comes." Haitang stopped talking, but instead held half of the earthen jar with Lamei.
Grandma Haitang and Second Aunt already had two big bags each, and they were carrying one more bag on their backs.
This allowed Haitang to understand the market more clearly: women's shopping desire is endless, no matter how old they are, as long as they still have copper coins in their hands.
No matter what he does in the future, it will have to do with women. Haitang became even more convinced of this.
It was almost afternoon, and Haitang only bought two steamed buns on the roadside to satisfy her hunger.
"Can't we wait for Brother Datong to go back together?" Lamei asked.
"No wait, no wait, let's go first." Granny Haitang said. Haitang knew in her heart that she felt sorry for her son and was afraid that he would help him get things, and she couldn't bear to part with his tender hands for holding pens and writing!
Back in Qiaotou Village, Granny Haitang and Second Auntie admired each other's trophies without looking into Haitang's yard.
But Haitang saw that someone was standing in the yard looking at the scenery.
