Chapter 34 Stupid Forget It
"Auntie, your daughter is so filial. A little girl of this age knows how to be considerate. Auntie is really lucky."
The embroiderer looked envious, compared to her daughter who had to throw it away.
Grandma Liu loves to hear other people praise her daughter, which makes her heart feel sweeter than eating honey.
Kapok also picked out a long dress made of fine cotton for her mother. She picked two sets, a pair of light-colored long skirts for going out, and a set of unisex cyan gowns. The thin cotton made it not stuffy in summer.
The cyan color is durable and can be worn at home. She is not stingy at all when she earns money. Her three brothers, two sisters-in-law, and three nephews all share one set.
Her mother chose the size, and her mother remembers the sizes of everyone in the family.
The two sisters-in-law in the family are good at embroidery, especially the eldest sister-in-law, whose embroidery skills are ranked among the best in the village. Kapok bought two pieces of cloth and took them back to ask the two sisters-in-law to make clothes for the children.
"My daughter has already bought clothes and we still need to buy cloth for those three little brats? Ahem, this is not a waste."
"My three children are still young, especially Xiao Sanbao. Their skin is tender. Wearing cotton clothes will not irritate the skin."
Kapok thought that her three nephews were all wearing burlap clothes. Yesterday, when she saw little Sambo's arms showing their lotus joints, their arms were red with burlap. It hurt her to see them.
If it weren't for my mother's distress, she would have bought a few more sets for her three children!
"My daughter is very kind-hearted. Even though she has money, she still cares about the little ones at home. How lucky are they!"
Mrs. Liu muttered.
Kapok asked the embroiderer to wrap them all up. This cloth shop was the only ready-made clothing shop in the county. There was no bargaining and the prices of the cloths were clearly marked.
However, she bought a lot of kapok. The embroiderer had not met such a big customer for a while, so she gave away a lot of rags left over from making clothes. It would also be nice to go home to sew shoe uppers and make flower cushions and other small things.
Twelve sets of ready-made clothes were made of fine fine cotton, and two pieces of cloth were of the best quality. They cost a total of one tael of silver.
She bought a lot, so the embroiderer asked the waiter to help her take it to Mihang and put it there first.
Kapok passed by a snack shop and bought several large packages of snacks for one tael of silver. If one person in the family tried two pieces, they would be gone.
When Po Liu saw the cakes, her heart ached: "Girl, let's go home, that's not how money is spent."
"Mom, I don't feel bad about money, so why do you feel bad? Money is just spent, and it's not like you can't make it back. Mom, are you hungry? There are wontons at the stall over there, let's go eat them."
After Kapok finished speaking, he took his mother's arm and walked towards the stall. The wonton stall held a large pot, and the steam was wafting. If you got closer, you could smell the rich aroma of dough.
Kapok walked around and bought a lot of things all morning, and now his stomach was growling. The closer he got to the wonton stall, the hungrier he got.
"The shopkeeper brings two big bowls of wontons."
"Okay, you two guests, the wontons are here, please use them slowly."
The shopkeeper quickly cooked two large bowls and brought them over. He also poured two bowls of herbal tea for the two of them. There was no charge for eating the wonton herbal tea.
Mrs. Liu originally planned to go home for dinner, but she was reluctant to spend money. She was just worried that her daughter would be hungry, so she did not stop her from ordering wontons.
The wontons are stuffed with pork and chopped green onions. They have a thin skin and a big filling. They are full of meat when you bite into them. Some seaweed is put in the soup to enhance the flavor. It is so fresh that you can't wait to swallow it on your tongue.
After a bowl of wontons, the mother and daughter drank all the soup. It felt good to fill their stomachs.
Fortunately, Kapok was not very full. She found that the body that the soul had passed through was more edible than her previous life. Po Liu was so full that she burped, feeling extremely satisfied.
I gave him 20 yuan for two bowls of wontons and kapok. When I was full, I took my mother back to Mihang.
Shopkeeper Mi Xing greeted them warmly and asked the waiters to carry all the things they bought to the bullock cart.
The mother and daughter bought a lot, and the bullock cart was full. They squeezed into the bullock cart and drove home.
The ox-cart is not as stable as the horse-drawn carriage. When it encounters a difficult road, Kapok feels uncomfortable in his stomach and almost vomits.
At this moment, Chu Huaijin's luxurious carriage caught up and stopped in front of the ox cart.
Gao Shan got off the carriage and walked towards the bullock cart.
"Miss Mu, my father has something to discuss with you and asked you to go to his carriage."
Kapok was confused, forget it, I can’t afford to offend the boss, so I’ll just go ahead!
"Mom, I'll go take a look and come back."
Grandma Liu watched her daughter get off the carriage and felt depressed. Why did she always have a premonition that her daughter was going to be abducted?
Gao Shan sat back in front of the carriage and gave Liu Shui a proud look.
He took it upon himself to create opportunities for the Third Master, which was considered a good performance. The Third Master would keep him instead of sending him to the capital as soon as he was happy.
Kapok walked onto the horse uneasily. Perhaps because of his nervousness, when he lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, he knocked his head heavily on the top of the carriage.
Chu Huaijin heard a clear "clang" sound and felt her pain from a distance.
He half-leaned and looked up at her casually. The little girl must have been in pain, her eyes were filled with mist, and the redness on her forehead was particularly obvious on her fair skin, which made her heartache just looking at her.
"You're so stupid, forget it. Why don't you come over and sit down and be stunned?"
Kapok sat obediently opposite Chu Huaijin, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. The original owner's body was really delicate, and it would hurt a lot if he bumped it.
"Third Master, I heard that you were looking for me. Is there something wrong?"
"Well, I just wanted to ask you how to fry mung bean sprouts?"
Chu Huaijin made a lame excuse at random. There was a bit of displeasure in his tone.
This girl calls her third master, which is not as nice as her little brother!
Kapok looked at him strangely, but due to the boss's power, she could only respond obediently.
"It's very simple! Stir-frying mung bean sprouts is just like stir-frying vegetarian vegetables. There should be a cook at Master San's house. You don't need to do anything, just ask the cook to stir-fry."
"It's not delicious, you fry it." Chu Huaijin looked at her and answered simply.
Kapok: "..." She doesn't have this obligation, ah... Hey! Can the fierce god not be so arrogant?
She resisted the urge to speak angrily, she could just stay silent!
"If you don't speak, I'll treat it as your acquiescence." Chu Huaijin's cold voice came from the carriage, and the temperature in the carriage dropped suddenly.
"Third Master, you are too overbearing," Kapok replied angrily. She did not look in the direction of Chu Huaijin, but opened the curtain and looked back. Her mother's ox cart was walking slowly behind.
"Third Master asked someone to stop the car. I want to go down to find my mother. If you don't stop the car, I will jump off."
