After getting rid of the refugees, the carriage had a smooth journey and arrived at Guangming Town smoothly. It was already past four in the afternoon, and Shen Wanning thought about the time she had agreed with Tie Niu, which was more than an hour away.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she took Lin Jingyou and prepared to go buy some things.
Lin Jingyou's bamboo basket had been thrown out when he was throwing the steamed buns, so he was now carrying Shen Wanning's bamboo basket on his back.
They first went to the pork stall and bought ten pounds of pork, spending three hundred and fifty copper coins. Then they went to the cloth shop and bought two rolls of navy blue linen, two rolls of maroon linen, two rolls of gray linen, and finally one roll of moon-white cotton cloth. In total, they spent exactly two taels and four coins of silver.
A bolt of cloth was about forty feet long, and generally could make two sets of clothes. She was planning to make a set of clothes for each person in her family. As for the moon-white cotton cloth, it was naturally for Lin Jingyou.
Lin Jingyou followed Shen Wanning, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and seven pieces of cloth in his arms.
Shen Wanning was walking in front, actually chatting with netizens the whole time. She had earned some money today and wanted to buy something for her family, but she didn't know what to buy, so she kept asking netizens for their opinions.
Finally, she bought four more pairs of shoes for Lin Jingce and Lin Jingyou. Fortunately, Lin Jingyou knew the shoe sizes of the two people, otherwise she would not be able to do it alone.
Originally, I wanted to buy a pair for each family member, but Lin Jingyou didn’t know the sizes of other people, so I didn’t buy that many.
Thinking of the chipped bowls at home, Shen Wanning went to buy five more bowls, which were just enough to replace the three chipped bowls at home, and she also kept two as spares.
"Sister Wan Ning, do you want to buy anything else?" Lin Jingyou was a little tired from carrying so much cloth and gradually could not keep up with Shen Wan Ning's pace.
Men just can't go shopping with women, and this law really applies whether in ancient times or modern times.
Shen Wanning reacted, "Um, Third Brother, why don't you find a place to sit and have some tea first, I'll be right back."
"It's okay, it's okay. Third brother will go with you. What if you encounter danger alone? What should you do?" After saying that, Lin Jingyou followed and continued shopping.
"Third brother, let me help you carry some cloth!" After saying that, she reached out to take the cloth, but Lin Jingyou dodged her hand.
"It's okay, Third Brother can still carry these things!"
Finally, Shen Wanning went to buy a new pipe for Lin Dashan and some pastries before giving up.
Originally, Shen Wanning wanted to buy a new chair and replace the three-legged chair. However, Lin Jingyou laughed at her and said that Lin Jiang was a carpenter. If she wanted a chair, she could just ask Lin Jiang to make another one. There was no need to buy this thing.
Later, when Shen Wanning talked about the three-legged chair, Lin Jingyou told her that this chair had been there since he was born. It was because they had been at home for many years and everyone was used to the three-legged chair.
Even when Lin Jiang later learned carpentry, they never remembered to add a leg to the chair or replace it.
The two chatted as they walked, and finally arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Tie Niu. Shen Wanning didn't mind, and just found a rock to sit down.
Lin Jingyou is a bit of a germaphobe and would rather stand holding these things than sit on dirty stones.
Fortunately, Tie Niu was worried that they would wait too long, so he drove to Guangming Town early.
This time, Lin Jingyou was holding the cloth and couldn't use the handkerchief to wipe the cart. After hesitating for a moment, he still sat on it.
Anyway, I had taken it in the morning, and the cart shouldn't have been used to pull other things in the meantime. So it should be clean, right?
After getting on the cart, Shen Wanning snatched a few pieces of cloth from Lin Jingyou and held them in her arms.
"If I go back empty-handed, Mother will say I don't know how to care for others. Third brother, please let me help you carry a few horses! That way Mother won't scold me!"
How could Lin Jingyou not understand her little thoughts? He shook his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, whatever you want."
When she got home, Shen Wanning looked around and saw that it was almost six o'clock, which was exactly the time for dinner at home. She didn't know whether the family had prepared dinner for them.
The two of them returned home carrying the cloth, and this time it was the sharp-eyed Lin He who first spotted them.
They had just finished setting up the food and sat down when Lin He saw them. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Uncle San and Auntie are back, they bought a lot of things."
The crowd, who were originally confused by Lin He's sudden departure, looked outside the courtyard gate and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Oh my goodness, why did you buy so much cloth? It must have cost a lot of money! Look, this moon-white one is made of cotton, this one must be even more expensive!"
Aunt Zhang touched the moon-white cloth reluctantly, her face full of heartache.
"Mom, you haven't asked us how much we sold the ginseng for today!" Knowing that Aunt Zhang was stingy with money, Shen Wanning deliberately changed the subject.
"Ah? Then tell me, how much did you sell that ginseng for?" Aunt Zhang said as she called a few other people to bring the backpack and cloth into the house.
While they were putting their things away, Shen Wanning quietly put the four treasures of the study in. Lin Jingyou realized that the bamboo basket seemed to have suddenly become a little heavier.
He glanced at Shen Wanning, his expression expressionless. Shen Wanning felt guilty and didn't dare look at him. He had already discovered her, so she might as well throw it all away!
She felt a little relieved in her heart. If Lin Jingyou really found out, it would be good. If he found such a thing again in the future, he could help cover it up.
She didn't realize that, in fact, during these few days of getting along with him, coupled with the teasing from netizens, she had treated Lin Jingyou a little differently.
"What...what are you buying?" Aunt Zhang looked at the bamboo basket and was about to look through it.
"Mom, why don't we eat first? If we don't eat now, the food will get cold. By the way, why didn't I see my second brother and his wife and their family today?" Shen Wanning felt puzzled.
"Then let's go eat first, and we'll talk while we eat." Aunt Zhang drove them all out and closed the door.
"Well, didn't we discover cassava recently? It just so happens that your second sister-in-law's family's home in Daji Village is not far from us. I thought of asking her to go home and tell her about this cassava.
By the way, let her take some cassava back to help her parents. But your second sister-in-law is pregnant, and I don't want her to be too tired to travel back and forth, so let her and the second son stay at her parents' home for one night and come back tomorrow."
Shen Wanning nodded, thinking to herself that Aunt Zhang was truly a kind woman. At this time, it was truly rare for someone to not only treat their daughter-in-law well but also show kindness to strangers.
"What about sister-in-law? Do you want to go back and tell her about this?" Shen Wanning asked.
Xu's face was filled with joy. "We went back this morning and returned after lunch. Mother is not partial to only my second brother and his wife! My parents took the rest of the family to the woods to look for cassava this afternoon. I was the one who helped them find the place!"
