I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Zhu Yun was worried about her daughter going back, and when she heard Cui'er say that, she immediately agreed. With Cui'er around, Xiaobao wouldn't have to do too much housework at home. Cui'er was a sensible girl who would help Xiaobao, and she could also stay by Xiaobao's side to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything like getting married.

"Since Cui'er is going to the countryside with me, she doesn't need to go to the street with me now. She should go pack her things first!"

"No need, let her go with you. I know her things. She just needs to pack a few clothes. I will go and help her pack them later. You can take them away when you come back." It turned out that Cui'er's mother heard their conversation when she was outside, so she walked in and said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Qiao. I'll take Cui'er away first." As he said that, he took Cui'er's hand and ran out.

"Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry, don't let Cui'er fall." Zhu Yun couldn't help but shout when she saw her hurried look.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao knows what's going on," Grandpa Liu advised his daughter-in-law.

As soon as Liu Xiaoxiao went out, she pulled Cui'er to the busiest street, muttering as she walked: "Buy a headscarf for grandma, buy some good tobacco leaves for grandpa, and buy cakes for the sisters! Then go to the butcher shop to see if there is any good meat, and bring some back to nourish everyone." With this calculation, she had to go to several places to buy things, so she had to hurry.

Cui'er listened patiently all the way. When Liu Xiaoxiao finally finished mumbling about what she wanted to buy, she spoke up, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I heard you just say you wanted to buy some meat. We have to hurry, or the good meat will be sold out."

"Yes, then let's go to the butcher shop first!"

When she got to the meat stall, she saw that her favorite pork belly was still available. She was craving braised pork, so she decided to buy two pounds, not three pounds, of pork belly. With so many people in her family, buying less wouldn't be enough, so she bought a large pig's trotter.

After buying the meat, she thought of adding sugar to the pork belly, and she didn’t know if there was any at home. Since she was already there, she decided to buy some!

On the way, she happened to see an old man selling tobacco leaves on the roadside. She thought the quality was good and decided to buy some.

"My tobacco leaves have come here for you, too. They're good quality, so they're 120 wen per pound. How many pounds do you want?" asked an old man selling tobacco leaves.

Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know how many pounds he wanted, but seeing that the old man's tobacco leaves were tied up in small bundles, she said, "Let's take this bundle. We'll take whatever we can get."

After weighing it, it was just over two kilograms, and the old man said it would be two kilograms.

Later she went to buy a headscarf and pastries. Both of them didn't cost much, so she didn't spend much money on the whole shopping trip.

The most expensive item was a piece of rice paper she bought for Liu Wenxuan. Liu Xiaoxiao had recently discovered that the family might have run out of rice paper, as her third brother had been practicing calligraphy on the ground with tree branches.

It's no wonder there were so few scholars in ancient times; the main reason was that paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones were too expensive. Fortunately, his third brother was studying at a school run by an old scholar in the village. People were generally poor, and few could afford rice paper, so it was common for them to go to school without paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones.

Although she bought a lot of bags and bags, she had just spent the one or two taels of silver her grandmother gave her, and she added some money for toilet paper. After all, she mainly bought a wide variety of things in small quantities.

Speaking of toilet paper, while it's much cheaper than rice paper, most people wouldn't buy it. Only the wealthy or the more sophisticated would use it. Her grandparents, for example, still use toilet paper sticks! Luckily, her mother was a very discerning person. The original owner grew up in town and used coarse paper. Although coarse paper is rough, she still chose it over toilet paper sticks.

She also learned from the original owner's memory that Zhu Yun had actually bought coarse paper for her family, but they were always reluctant to use it. In the end, only the three of them used coarse paper, and even Cui'er was reluctant to use her toilet paper.
