Cranberries are precious, so the man even prepared a small bamboo basket and placed them carefully, for fear that they would be bumped or scratched. Now that they look so pleasing to the eye, he feels that he has been cheated and will come to cause trouble.

Although this thing is not big, the bamboo basket woven by this person is also exquisite, and is smaller than the ones Yan Zhengdao used to weave as gifts during the Chinese New Year.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the big customer would say he was stingy, he filled four bamboo baskets. It was obvious that he was not a regular customer. No matter how hard he shouted just now, he felt a little embarrassed when it came to collecting the money.

"This bamboo basket is given to you for free, and I won't charge you any extra copper coins."

After saying this, he looked at Yan Zhenshen eagerly. After all, when going out, money is usually carried by men. Even if the young man had some on him, it would only be a few dozen copper coins, enough to buy some needle and thread.

Especially since he was so excited just now, he was overjoyed when the other party said he wanted to buy two hundred. Now that he had packed the things, he was worried that the man would be unhappy that his husband was such a spendthrift. As he was a tall and strong man, he couldn't help feeling scared. He was afraid that the man might be unhappy and destroy all his things. He didn't dare to really fight with the man.

Yan Zhenshen noticed the look in his eyes and felt in his pocket without saying much. He had paid for all the things he had bought before. The change that his husband had given him had been spent, and he only had a few dozen copper coins left.

He really couldn't come up with one hundred and fifty cents.

Being stared at by so many people, even an eight-foot-tall man felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Chu Xiao loved the fruit very much and had already secretly eaten several of them, so he didn't notice his brother Shen's embarrassment for a moment and turned around to stuff another one into his mouth.

Yan Zhenshen swallowed it in one gulp, then opened his waist wallet to show Chu Xiao with a somewhat aggrieved look on his face.

Chu Xiao looked down and couldn't stop laughing. No wonder he hadn't given the other party the coins for such a long time. It was just that he had spent too much today and was short of money.

Under the uneasy look of the man selling cranberries, Chu Xiao put his hand into Yan Zhenshen's waist bag and said, "If you don't have enough copper coins, then pay with silver."

When he came out with a piece of change in his hand, Yan Zhenshen's pocket also had several more pieces of silver. He had to give enough silver so as not to lose face as a man.

The man took it happily, handed over the money and the goods, and they left with the small bamboo basket.

After buying some new things, Chu Xiao thought of sending some to Lu Chengxue. It is inevitable that her taste will change after she is pregnant. Xiao Bei and Qing Ge'er will also like these things very much. After all, what child doesn't like sweet things?

Cheng Xue has sent one, so Yan Laoer can't be left out either. They are all my brothers, and I can't favor one over the other just because they are a few years older.

And that Marquis Zunyuan, he made a few more taels of silver today by relying on other people's face, so he should also be given some rare things.

After this calculation, what would he have left? If he came across it again next time, he should buy more.

But if he were asked to go back and buy some now, he would be a little reluctant. The fruit, which cost only one cent each, is only suitable for eating for freshness. If he wants to have enough, he still has to grow it himself.

However, if he went to the man to buy seeds, he was afraid that the man would not be willing to sell them.

Chu Xiao looked at the strawberries in the bamboo basket and still felt a little greedy, but if he ate more, there would be some left.

"Eat if you want." Seeing her husband's greedy look, Yan Zhenshen said with a smile, "Eat a few more. Lao Er is a man, just give him two to try."

"You are really my brother." Chu Xiao smiled and said teasingly.

Yan Zhenshen was quite confident: "If I wasn't his biological brother, I wouldn't give him any."

Not only did he say that, he actually put a lot of them from one bamboo basket to another, leaving only about twenty or so, about half a basket: "This is for the second one."

Chu Xiao didn't object. He should have taken some more back for his parents and third sister.

They sent the things over and did not stay long. Cheng Xue's previous fall into the water inevitably damaged her health, and she felt a little uncomfortable after getting pregnant. She has been vomiting until now and there has been no improvement. It is obvious that she has lost a lot of weight.

Chu Xiao checked it out of concern and felt that there was no big problem. The little thing was quite strong. He was relieved when he heard the doctor also say that there was nothing serious.

As for Yan Zhennan, as soon as he opened the door to the yard, he could smell the distinct smell of wood, mixed with some other smells. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't pleasant either.

Yan Zhennan turned this nice little courtyard into a carpenter's workshop. There were so many clanging noises every day, and no one knew how the neighbors could tolerate it.

Yan Zhennan was quite proud of this: "The grandma next door likes mine very much and helped me change my style a lot."

Chu Xiao had no reason to doubt it. His second son had met a lot of people when he was in the carpenter shop. In fact, he was quite eloquent and, most importantly, thick-skinned. In this respect, his brother Shen was indeed not as good as the second son.

Yan Zhennan couldn't bear to eat any more cranberries after finishing them, saying that he was saving them for his wife. He then began to show off the finished furniture to them, bragging about the carvings and the wood.

After all, it was the first time in his life that he received such a big order, so he was very attentive. The tone of his self-praising was very similar to that of Zhao Guizhi praising Xiaoyuer, which was simply perfect in every way.

"I'm about to deliver the goods here, and Ayun said we should go home and stay for a while."

No one really cared whether Yan Laoer, an extroverted boy, would go back or not. Even Zhao Guizhi said that she just treated it as raising a daughter and marrying her off.

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao didn't stay long during this visit. When leaving, Chu Xiao put all the things he bought into the space. Yan Zhennan even pretended to look around, pretending that he didn't see anything.

After all this trouble, it was already late. When they passed a food store, they stopped to eat two bowls of plain noodles, and then bought some clam oil for washing their hands and faces, as well as some facial cream for children.

This facial cream is usually used by wealthy people. A small jar costs three hundred coins. If it weren't for the ten gold nuggets in the space, Chu Xiao would definitely be heartbroken.

The two walked side by side on the street, and when there were many people around, Yan Zhenshen would always use his arms to protect Chu Xiao.

When passing by a grain store, Chu Xiao wanted to go in and ask about the price, but before he even set foot inside, he heard someone calling out "Brother Xiao".

Looking over towards the source of the sound, they saw Chu Peng carrying a shoulder pole and looking at them with a smile on his face.

He now looks more robust than before, and he hasn't shaved for some time. The fine and dense stubble makes him look much rougher. However, he is in good spirits and looks radiant.

"I was thinking of going to the village in the next two days." He said directly, without any intention of beating around the bush: "I'm getting married, so I came back to ask about the land."
