In the grocery store with its door half open, the things that Su Ping and Ningguang bought filled half of the table, almost taller than a certain lively girl.

Bai Shi stood beside the table, with his hands on his hips, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Su Ping, are you going out to pick out gifts or to buy goods?"

"Of course it's the former." Su Ping looked at the pile of things and said slowly.

Ningguang turned to look at the young man and said calmly, "I've bought everything. When are you going to deliver it? And there's also the New Year's Eve dinner tonight... where are you going to eat it?"

Su Ping thought about Aunt Zhang and Xiao Cui, rubbed his face and said with a smile: "I'll come back to eat. The Moon-Chasing Festival is celebrated here in the shop, and the same is true for the Sea Lantern Festival!"

Ningguang's face suddenly became more smiling, and she nodded and said, "Okay, let Baiwen take care of the extra sets of bowls and chopsticks."

Bai Shi silently took a few steps back so that he could see the two figures and the gifts on the table next to him, then nodded with satisfaction.

In the afternoon, Su Ping made three trips between the homes of Ran Ziyou, Yan Ziyuan, and Zeng Xi and the grocery store, because after delivering gifts to each family, he needed to come back to pick them up.

The gifts were all things that were in line with normal etiquette for visiting people, and there were also a few boxes of delicious cakes. Since Su Ping was in this business, there was no need to bother buying more.

However, there were not only Zeng Xi's parents at home, but also his wife, children, and the other party's parents, so this trip was also the one in which Su Ping moved the most things.

As for asking the other people in the shop for help, Su Ping had never thought about it. After all, this was his own business. Asking them to help and give suggestions was the maximum he could do. How could he be more troublesome?

This time, of course, we brought not only things for the elderly, but also some small toys for the children, and small ornaments for the woman's family.

At the door of Zeng Xi's house, Su Ping stepped out, turned around and said to the woman in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law, please stay."

"Mr. Su, why don't you sit down? If your husband comes back and people know about this, they will probably think that I didn't welcome you." The woman was born beautiful. Although her appearance was not as stunning as the moon, she was of average appearance.

Su Ping waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zeng is not an unreasonable person. If he is really angry about this, I will explain it to him. Don't worry, sister-in-law!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a thick red envelope, glanced around, and whispered, "Just now my nephew refused to accept it, saying that it was because of your teachings, sister-in-law. So I can only give it to you. Please keep it for him!"

"No, Mr. Su rarely comes here, and you've already spent money just now. You must not give me this red envelope again." The woman took a step back and did not reach out to take it.

Su Ping had known this would happen, and of course he had thought of a countermeasure in advance. "Sister-in-law, it is natural for elders to give red envelopes to children. Even if the Rock King Emperor comes, it is reasonable! Don't refuse!"

After saying this, Su Ping placed the red envelope on the door knocker, then turned around and ran away with big strides.

The woman wanted to chase after him but couldn't. Calling out a few times was useless. She watched the figure disappear from her sight and could only go back with the red envelope.

In the courtyard of her house, a child a few years old was holding a rattle and shaking it, which made a tinkling sound.

"Mom, where is Uncle Ping?"

"I just left."

"Oh." The child became obviously uninterested.

The woman squatted down, helped the child straighten his clothes, and asked, "Can'er, is there anything you want to talk to your Uncle Ping about?"

"No." The child shook his head, and then said faintly: "Uncle Ping gave me a lot of things, and he wanted to give me a red envelope, but I refused."

The woman thought about what happened just now, smiled slightly, and said, "Then Shen'er, you must remember what happened today. When your father comes back, we will talk to him about it."

"Well, Shen'er will remember it. We will tell Dad together when the time comes!" The child is only a few years old, but his eyes have been different from those of ordinary people since he was a child. It is a determination and persistence that is different from his peers.

Of course the child’s surname is Zeng, and his given name is “Chan”. He doesn’t know that what he said today will become eternal in the future. Because he is a persistent person, it is destined that after today, he will remember Uncle Ping.

At the same time, Su Ping had returned to the grocery store, carrying the last few things on the table, some in his arms and some in his hands, and headed towards the northern housing area of ​​Liyue Harbor.

If he met a few people from the same village on the road, he would say hello, but Su Ping didn't say much about other things.

Su Ping went up the stairs, came to the door and knocked on it.

The door opened immediately. Xiao Cui stood behind the door, looked at the person who came and said with a smile: "I knew you were coming. Come in."

Su Ping sighed, then picked up the bags that he had placed on the ground because of the knock on the door and walked into the house.

Xiao Cui closed the door, looked at the large and small bags of things, and shook her head and said, "Come if you want to, but you bought so many things, you should feel sorry for Mora a little bit!"

Su Ping said disapprovingly: "It's impossible to spend money on the Lantern Festival. Besides, I make a lot of money. There are many big customers on the commercial street. Sometimes one order is equivalent to a whole day's work!"

"Is it really that good?" Xiao Cui raised her eyebrows. On this woman's mature and beautiful face, there was a very small and barely noticeable mole at the corner of her right eye.

Su Ping put the things down, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. Anyway, you can see the monthly share. What do you think?"

"So it's really not you who made up the accounts?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask.

Su Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed and explained, "Of course not. No matter how capable I am, I can't give you 200,000 Mora in a month. You know, this is my income for the previous half month!"

Xiao Cui coughed twice, then shouted, "Mom, Xiao Ping is here, don't be busy for now."

"I know, I'll come."

Not long after she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang came out from the kitchen at the back, took off her cooking apron, and said, "Don't give me red envelopes this year. You can't run away from this place."

"I know." Su Ping said, unpacking the bags he brought with him, and said slowly, "This year I brought two new sets of clothes for you and Sister Xiao Cui, as well as some other small ornaments. Try them on and see if you like them."

"Buying again?" Aunt Zhang looked at a cashmere coat displayed in front of her door and couldn't help smacking her lips and said, "Can this coat be returned? I have a few pieces in stock and can't wear them all."

"Now that they've been unpacked, of course they can't be returned. You try it on, and Xiao Cui, take a look at the cheongsam, too." Su Ping helped the mother and daughter unpack all the things, leaving nothing behind.

Although it can actually be returned in this case, Su Ping would not do so. Since he bought it for them, it certainly cannot be returned.

After some persuasion, emotional appeals and logical explanations, the mother and daughter were tricked by this businessman into going to the room to change into new clothes.

Su Ping sat on the chair outside, took out the two embroidered gift boxes in his arms and opened them, took one of the jade bracelets in his hand, aimed at one of the doors, and waited quietly.

Then, the moment the door opened, Su Ping suddenly stood up, took two or three steps to the door, grabbed Aunt Zhang's arm with one hand, and put the bracelet on her with the other.

After doing all this, Su Ping took a step back, nodded and smiled: "Great!"

"I'm okay. You almost frightened me...I almost fainted!" Aunt Zhang rubbed her chest, and it seemed that she was really frightened.

Su Ping bent down and said with a wry smile: "I just wanted to give you a surprise, so I prepared it like this."

"Oh, please don't do this. I'm old and can't stand being scared like this!" Aunt Zhang murmured, raising her hand to look at the bracelet carefully. The more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.

"How many Mora does it cost to buy this?" Aunt Zhang looked at the boy, "Don't try to frame me, kid, and just give me a random price!"

"It's not expensive, just 200,000 Mora!" Su Ping grinned widely, narrowed his eyes, and planned to get away with it.

"Two hundred thousand! It's just a return, you kid..." Aunt Zhang was speechless for a moment, then laughed angrily, "I'm not that old yet, tell me the truth, how much is it?"

“It’s only 250,000, which is really cheap. Although things in Liyue Port are indeed much more expensive, the most outrageous ones are the houses and real estate. The rest are acceptable.” Su Ping said as he picked up the brocade box containing a hairpin next to him.

"Look, this hairpin is only 150,000 Mora, and it is inlaid with a pure and polished Yebo stone bead. It is just right for Sister Xiao Cui to wear in her hair!"

Aunt Zhang looked at her clothes and jewelry, then set her eyes on the young man in front of her and asked, "Why didn't you buy something for yourself?"

"I'm a grown man, how can I wear these bracelets? Besides, aren't they the same for you and Sister Xiao Cui?" Su Ping didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Because when my family was in the most difficult time, it was the help of the other family that gave us the opportunity to overcome the difficulties. When we did not have enough money to buy medicine for our bedridden father, it was also the other family who generously donated.

Not to mention just a few pieces of clothing and ornaments, even if he was asked to give all the money he had, he would not have a single complaint. But the other party was unwilling, so he could only buy something in return.

Since he wants to repay the past kindness and enhance and maintain the current friendship, it is only natural for him to buy some things if he cannot give cash.

While they were talking, another door opened and Xiao Cui walked out with small steps. At this moment, she was wearing a cheongsam as blue as the sea and sky, and her well-proportioned legs that were faintly visible through it were just the right amount of beauty.

Seeing her mother and brother looking at her, Xiao Cui blushed and asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

"Of course it looks good!" Su Ping grinned and said, "Sister Xiao Cui, here is a hairpin that is almost the same color as this dress. I'll put it on for you and see the effect!"

"There are more." Xiao Cui opened her mouth slightly, "How much did you buy?"

After Su Ping put it on, he smiled faintly and said, "That's all. Not much. Not expensive. Really not expensive!"
