The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

Just as Lan Ning guessed, Meng Anran was frightened by Dabai.

She was pale and trembling all over, but she did not run away. Instead, she picked up an empty stool beside her and prepared to fight the wolf to the death.

"Grandma, sister, brother, you guys run, I'll hold it back here."

After saying that, he quickly stood in front of Grandma Lan and quickly pulled Lan Ning and Bai Tian behind him.

Lan Ning looked at the thin girl in front of him. Even though she was shaking with fear, she did not run away, but chose to protect them. However, they just met her today.

Is there really someone so kind that he would risk his life to protect others?

Dabai did not retaliate against Meng Anran's behavior. Instead, he sat calmly on the ground, looked at her with contempt, and turned his head away.

[You are a weak human, I can bite your neck off with one bite. ]

Lan Ning glared at Dabai, and was afraid that Meng Anran would really move the stool to Dabai, so he quickly pulled her over.

"Sister An Ran, this is our friend. It was him and I who rescued you."

Meng Anran looked at Lan Ning in disbelief, then turned to look at Dabai.

"It came with you to rescue me? Wouldn't it hurt us? It's a wolf, a very dangerous creature in the forest, and it eats human flesh."

Lanning shrugged, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

[What do you think?]

Meng Anran was not a stubborn person. He knew that in the afternoon when he believed Lan Ning's words.

She immediately believed what Lan Ning said.

"Thank you, Baymax."

Meng Anran tried to touch its head with trembling hands, but after trying several times, he still didn't dare to do it.

After all, he is a nine-year-old child and he is still afraid of such ferocious animals.

"Okay, okay, put the dishes in the kitchen and wash them tomorrow. Wash up early and get some rest."

Lan Ning is very young in his current body and needs to sleep a lot every day.

"Ran girl, there is no suitable clothing for you at home. I will give you a change of clothes to wear. I will take you to the county town to buy cloth to make clothes tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"

Meng Anran nodded quickly.

"Okay, grandma, okay."

Meng Anran boiled some water and washed herself thoroughly. She took off the old, dirty, ill-fitting boy's clothes and put on Grandma Lan's clothes.

Meng Anran was too thin. Although Grandma Lan's clothes were very small, they still looked hollow on her. Fortunately, the trouser legs and sleeve lengths were quite suitable.

She spun around happily in her clothes.

"It's so comfortable. This dress is so comfortable to wear. I have never worn such comfortable clothes. Oh, no, I have worn them when I was a child."

Meng Anran was so happy that she kept spinning and jumping around. It was obvious that she really liked Grandma Lan's dress.

Her feet and hands were always cold when she put on her old clothes. If she moved a little, her clothes and pants would become shorter and easily torn. Then her mother would beat her because she had to waste needle and thread to mend them.

"We don't have any extra quilts at home, so you can stay with us tonight."

"it is good."

Meng Anran smiled so that her eyes narrowed slightly, and the bags under her eyes made her look even more beautiful.

He is so handsome at the age of nine. I wonder how many boys will be fascinated by him when he grows up.

Oh, it's another day of envying others.

The next morning, Lan Ning set out for the county town with the remaining silver.

Although Meng Anran was seriously injured, fortunately he was able to walk on his own.

This time Lan Ning brought Bai Tian with her, and Grandma Lan asked Aunt Li to help look after him.

I haven't been out during the day for a long time. Along the way, the only sounds in the ox cart are the gossips of these aunts and grandmothers and the exclamations of the day.

"Sister Lan, look, there is a wild dog over there."

"Sister Lan, look, the cloud in front looks like a fox."

"Sister Lan, look, there are so many ants moving over there."

"Sister Lan, look..."

"Stop, don't say anymore, we're almost there."

Lan Ning rubbed his forehead, almost getting carsick from the noise during the day.

But Meng Anran just kept looking at the ox cart without saying anything.

This was her first time riding in a ox cart. It was so comfortable and she didn’t feel tired at all.

Everyone sits in the cart and all they need to do is let the cows pull them forward. It's amazing.

The ox cart stopped under the banyan tree again, and they got off and walked towards the city gate.

With the experience that things were cheaper in small shops, Lan Ning and his friends went straight to look for a smaller clothing store in the city.

Hard work pays off. Finally, when I was almost at the end of the alley, I found a shabby and old clothing store.

"This is it."

Lan Ning took the lead and walked into the shop with his head held high.

The two people following behind him also held their heads high during the day, but Meng Anran lowered his head, feeling uneasy.

As I walked in, I saw a man at the counter, fiddling with an abacus with a sad face.

When he heard someone coming in, the sad expression on his face changed instantly. He immediately raised his head happily, ready to greet the guests, but when he saw that it was a group of children, his brows drooped again.

"Kids, go out and play. This place is small. It would be bad if you get hurt."

The shopkeeper spoke weakly.

He is worried to death every day. Business is getting worse and worse. He doesn't know how long this shop can last.

"Boss, let's buy some clothes."

"Ok?"

The shopkeeper looked up at them in disbelief.

"You guys buy clothes, but what about your adults?"

"My grandma was injured, so we came to buy it ourselves."

The shopkeeper's originally sad face immediately turned into a smile.

No matter whether it is true or not, if these little guys really want to buy clothes, we can open the store today.

"We need two sets of coarse cloth clothes each for the three of us, and two larger sets according to my sister's height."

The shopkeeper asked again in disbelief.

"You really want to buy so many clothes?"

I became a little impatient during the day and felt that this person was really nagging.

"Are you going to sell it or not? If not, we will buy it from somewhere else."

"Sell, sell, sell. Wait a moment."

The shopkeeper hurried to get the clothes, fearing that if he was a little late the children would not buy them.

Although they bought clothes made of coarse cloth, the quantity was large, so they made a lot of profit.

The shopkeeper sells clothes all year round. He doesn't need to measure, he can tell what size clothes the children wear just by looking at them.

After a while he came over with a pile of clothes.

"Look, I picked something slightly bigger so you can still wear it next year."

The three little guys came forward and held it in front of them to compare, and sure enough, the length was just right.

"Okay, just these few. How much?"

Lan Ning is used to buying things nowadays and paying later. If the price is not suitable, he can negotiate it later.

The shopkeeper thought that they were not short of money, and Bai Tian and Meng Anran had no memory of buying anything, and the other had never bought anything before, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with buying first and asking the price later.

"These two smaller ones are 32 wen each, and these larger ones are 45 wen each, for a total of 308 wen. If you buy more, I'll give you 300 wen."

Lanning nodded.

"Two hundred and sixty coins each, help me install it."
