Thinking of this, Li Mingxia felt happy. He would go buy some more things for his family later. Winter was approaching, and some things were indispensable.

"I originally thought - now I think about it, those vulgar things cannot express my feelings. Mingxia, this is for you." Yi Shuishui looked Li Mingxia up and down, the love and admiration in his eyes were beyond words. He actually pulled out a hairpin from his hair, and without giving Li Mingxia a chance to refuse, he put it on her with his own hands.

"I have good taste. This peach blossom hairpin matches your clothes very well. It looks really nice."

Li Mingxia knew without a close look that the hairpin was definitely worth a lot of money. Just as he was about to speak, Yi Shuishui grabbed his hand and said, "This peach blossom hairpin is a pair. I only gave it to you. It's my love for you. If you refuse, it means you don't care about me, and we've been in vain."

He Changan paused while drinking tea, glanced at the enthusiastic Yi Shuishui calmly, and said nothing.

At this point, Li Mingxia could only nod and agree, "In this case, I will take good care of this peach blossom hairpin and will not let Shui Shui down."

After saying this, Li Mingxia felt awkward, but Yi Shuishui was visibly happier.

"Shui Shui, that middle-aged woman that day, I think she..." After thinking about it, Li Mingxia decided to remind Yi Shui Shui. No matter what the reason was, Yi Shui Shui was really good to her. If she didn't say anything, she would always feel a little unfair to her.

"Mingxia, let's chat. Why talk about those dead and unlucky things? It won't affect our mood. Try this. I like it very much." Yi Shuishui obviously knew what Li Mingxia wanted to say. She pinched a piece of milky white cake and handed it to Li Mingxia, saying with a smile.

Dead? Li Mingxia's heart was moved.

Yes, Yi Shuishui is obviously a daughter of a wealthy family. She must have been caught off guard that day. Now that she has survived a disaster, how could she let those who had second thoughts live?

Li Mingxia took the cake and tasted it slowly.

Just like this, Yi Shuishui seemed to have endless things to say. Li Mingxia originally planned to sit for a while and then leave, but she didn't want to be kept by Yi Shuishui. She let them leave in the afternoon. Even so, Yi Shuishui was still reluctant to let them go.

"Master He, if you have something to do, you can leave first. Can't you leave after dinner Mingxia? It's okay if you're late. You can just stay here. I don't have much else here, but I have a lot of rooms. It's not like I can't accommodate you."

Yi Shuishui's eyes sparkled as she spoke, as if she felt her plan was perfect, and she was waiting for Li Mingxia to nod.

"If I don't go back, my family will worry about me. I'll come to see you another day." Li Mingxia said quickly.

There was a flash of disappointment in Yi Shuishui's eyes, but she also knew that such things could not be forced, so she could only watch reluctantly as Li Mingxia's carriage went away.

"Young lady seems to like Miss Li very much?" Qing Meng looked at her young lady's beautiful face and asked tentatively in a low voice.

After a long time, just when Qingmeng thought Yi Shuishui would not answer.

"Ah."

On the way back, Li Mingxia opened the purse. He thought there should be a silver note of 100 taels, but unexpectedly it was a note of 200 taels. This was an unexpected surprise.

"Just take it to Qianxi Grocery Store in town. I have some things to buy." Li Mingxia calculated that they should be arriving in town soon, so he knocked on the car door and said to He Changan.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I'll take you home after you finish shopping. I'm worried about you, a girl, going back alone so late." He Changan said as he drove the carriage steadily.

Li Mingxia couldn't refute it. She couldn't say that several men were no match for her, right? Besides, a free carriage ride was a good thing, so Li Mingxia naturally agreed.

Qianxi Grocery Store is located in a very central location in town. Basically, everything Li Mingxia wants to buy is near this grocery store.

First, I bought some white sugar, brown sugar and seasonings, then I went to pick up the pork, offal and large bones that I had ordered, and then went to the place where chickens, ducks and geese were sold and picked out two chickens and a goose, and bought a lot of eggs and duck eggs.

"Hey? There are goose eggs?" Li Mingxia said in surprise. Goose eggs are delicious. They taste very good whether fried or boiled. But I have been here for such a long time, and this is the first time I have seen someone selling goose eggs.

"Five cents each, would you like a few?" The lady had done such a big business for Li Mingxia, and now seeing that Li Mingxia was very interested in her goose eggs, she immediately said.

"But girl, I have to tell you first, this goose egg is not the kind that can hatch a goose, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap." The old lady's face was full of heartache when she mentioned this.

Five cents each, not cheap, but not expensive either. Li Mingxia bought the remaining ten goose eggs and carefully placed them in the basket he had just bought from the grocery store.

Thinking that a carriage would be coming to take him there soon, Li Mingxia wanted to take this opportunity to buy everything he wanted.

Seeing the tofu seller, Li Mingxia also bought two boards. The stinky tofu made the day before yesterday should be ready to eat tomorrow. If he made more, he certainly couldn't finish it at home, but he could sell it at the dock.

Li Mingxia went to a place selling cotton cloth and bought 20 kilograms of cotton and enough cloth for her family to make quilts. Such a big customer would not be encountered once in ten days or half a month. The boss was very happy. He readily agreed to Li Mingxia's request for some odd pieces of cloth and directly took out a large cloth bag for her to pick. He would not feel sorry even if Li Mingxia took them all. After all, these things were leftover cloth from making ready-made clothes or quilts here, and were not worth much money. A large cloth bag was only about twenty cents. How could it be compared to a big customer like Li Mingxia?

"Did you buy so much cotton?" He Changan took over Li Mingxia's bags and put them into the carriage.

"Yes, the quilts at home have been used for many years, and the cotton is not warm enough anymore. We had no choice before and couldn't afford these things. Now that I've made some money, I definitely want to make my family live more comfortably." Li Mingxia was thinking about what else he should buy, and when he heard He Changan say this, he responded casually.

"That's true. What else are you going to buy next summer?" He Changan nodded thoughtfully and asked with a smile.

"We also need to buy some vegetables and drinks."

Li Mingxia suddenly remembered something.
