Me at two years old, a queen!

An'an was helping Duoduo pick out clothes for Xu Tinglan. The two little girls held hands as they entered a folk clothing store. Duoduo took a liking to a bright red plaid shawl, but the price was a bit expensive.

Seeing this, An'an remembered how Aunt Liu had bargained when she insisted on buying toys during a walk the previous evening. An'an eagerly tugged at the shopkeeper's hand and said, "Pretty auntie~, can you give me a discount on this?"

"No, you can't bargain here."

The proprietress knew they were there to film a show, but she didn't fawn over them much. She simply waved her hand casually to indicate her agreement when they asked if they could film earlier.

Looking at her in her ethnic costume, Xie Han had initially worried that this woman would be difficult to talk to and was even considering not filming. But now, observing her every move, she felt that this proprietress was quite a cool and capable older sister with a strong personality.

Seeing that Duoduo was still hesitating, An'an wandered around the store to see if there were any clothes suitable for Lu Junxing. After all, she could only go play by completing their mission!

Suddenly, An'an spotted a white robe around the corner. She thought the color was what her father usually wore, and that it would suit Lu Junxing perfectly. So she ran over and pulled the proprietress aside.

"Pretty auntie~, can I sell this dress to someone?"

"Of course you can~, but this dress is a bit big, it's for adults. Are you sure you still want it?"

"Yes, I bought it for my dad! He loves white clothes the most!"

Upon hearing the price quoted by the proprietress, An'an took out the money Jiang Jun had given her from her cloth bag and handed it directly to the proprietress: "I can't count, you can take it yourself. My brother said this is called 'self-service payment'!"

"Haha~, really?"

The proprietress took the envelope from the little girl and saw that there was only 100 yuan inside. She suddenly understood why the little girl had hesitated after she quoted a price. It turned out that she only had 100 yuan!

"I'm sorry, little friend, this outfit costs 1000 yuan, you don't have enough money."

After the incident where they didn't have enough money to buy Duoduo the red plaid shawl, An'an was quite calm about the "not having enough money" situation and spoke up on her own:

"Pretty auntie~, can you give me a discount on this?"

"No, that's not possible~, this is just a little creative space, no bargaining!"

Undeterred, An'an focused on completing the task quickly. She shoved the envelope containing the money into the shopkeeper's hand and asked directly, "Auntie, what can I buy with this money?"

"Um... how about this, you can check out that stall by the door, you should be able to buy something there!"

An'an glanced at the spot the proprietress was pointing to. There was a small stall there, covered with all sorts of colorful clothes, and below, on the ground, there were all sorts of small decorations.

Are things cheap there?

"Yes, this is a tourist attraction, so things are relatively expensive. But these street stalls outside are usually set up by locals. They're just doing it to make a living, and they've been setting up their stalls here year-round. Their prices and reputation are quite good!"

After thanking the proprietress, An'an went outside and ran to the stall. Looking at the old woman who was spitting as she counted money, she grinned and said, "Grandma? Do you have anything cheap here?"

"Oh my gosh! Where did this doll come from? It gave me quite a fright!"

The old woman quickly counted the money in her hand, then stuffed it into her bag, pointing to a pile of things in the corner and saying, "Look, that's the cheapest! Five yuan a foot of cloth, I'll buy you as much as you want!"

The old woman thought Xie Han, who was standing next to her, was her parent, and she was speaking to Xie Han, since they wouldn't put money in a child's hand in their village!

"Can I wear this?"

Seeing that the old woman wasn't looking at her, An'an quickly walked up to her, waved her little hand, and touched the pile of rolled-up fabric, thinking that the green bamboo leaves on it were very pretty.

"This looks nice! Grandma? Can I wear this?"

"Oh dear, aren't you talking nonsense, kid? Aren't all the clothes you're wearing made of cloth?"

Seeing that Xie Han didn't stop her, the old woman felt that a business opportunity had come her way. She quickly picked up the scissors and gestured, asking, "How many feet do you want? Mine is 2.3 feet wide. How much do you want?"

"I don't know, don't ask me!"

An'an shook her head vigorously, waving her hand at the old lady: "How much should I ask for? Don't ask me~, I don't know~"

"Are you kidding me? You come to buy something, who else am I supposed to ask if I don't ask you?"

The old woman laughed, realizing she had been foolish to ask a child, then turned to Xie Han standing to the side and asked, "Young lady, you tell me! How much cloth do you need? This old woman will tell you exactly!"

"Ahem~, Auntie~, the child makes the decisions, and I listen to the child!"

Xie Han kept a watchful eye on the filming process, ignoring the strange looks the old woman was giving her, and simply reminded An'an, "An'an? Do you know what size clothes your father needs to wear?"

"They don't know! I've never worn my dad's clothes before. They must be really, really big!"
