Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

The three of them found an empty table and sat down. Lin Lanshan then called out loudly, "Auntie, three small bowls of wontons, please."

"Okay."

The woman making wontons glanced up slightly, then continued to quickly pinch together the thin dough pieces filled with meat filling with her left hand.

He had just put down his chopsticks when he picked up a large ladle and stirred the soup pot.

Two more large bowls of wontons were then served.

She called out to the waiter who was constantly moving between the tables and chairs, carrying bowls, clearing away bowls, and wiping tables. The waiter immediately came over, picked up the tray, and quickly walked towards the customers who had ordered two large bowls of wontons.

Yang Huiyun sat somewhat reservedly on a small stool, her eyes fixed on the bustling wonton stall in front of her.

"Great, we got seats right away. We're really lucky today," Lin Lanshan said with a smile.

"It's because we arrived early today," Lin Chunyi replied with a smile.

Then he said to Yang Huiyun, "Sister-in-law, after breakfast we'll go for a stroll. There are quite a few places to visit in this city."

Yang Huiyun smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."

It was her first time in the city, and seeing so many unfamiliar people made the usually lively and outgoing Yang Huiyun unusually quiet.

"Three small bowls of wontons~"

"Here, here!" Lin Lanshan waved her hand frantically, like a primary school student who knew the answer and wanted to answer a question in class.

She was afraid the waiter wouldn't see her and would serve the wontons to the wrong table.

The waiter walked over cheerfully, put down the wonton bowl, and said, "The wontons are fresh out of the pot, please enjoy your meal," before going off to serve the next customer.

Lin Chunyi was so embarrassed she wanted to cover her face, and whispered a warning to her, "Lin Lanshan, you can eat quietly."

Sometimes being quiet is a good thing; at least the waiter bringing the wontons won't mistake you for someone who hasn't eaten in ages and is in a huge hurry...

"Oh~" Lin Lanshan didn't seem to care at all, and even started to show concern for Yang Huiyun:

"Sister-in-law, the soup is a little hot, please eat slowly."

"Hmm~" This was the first time Yang Huiyun had realized that she could make such a subtle sound.

There were many people eating wontons, and it was indeed noisy, but compared to Lin Lanshan's shout just now, it was still a bit lacking.

She had no idea how many people around her had been drawn by the commotion and had put down their bowls and spoons to watch them eat. She was too embarrassed to lift her head, practically burying it in her bowl as she silently ate her wontons.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, Lanshan, is it alright that you left the mule cart untied?" she suddenly remembered and asked them quietly.

Lin Chunyi glanced at the big tree a few meters away and replied, "Don't worry, the peach won't run away."

“That’s not what I meant. I meant in case someone… steals it.” She emphasized the last word very softly, as if afraid of being overheard.

steal?

Lin Lanshan suddenly grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured about this one. It's more likely that it will run away on its own than this one."

Yang Huiyun was a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything and continued eating her wontons.

The minced meat and the warm, flavorful broth are so comforting; just a few bites and your stomach feels completely at ease.

After breakfast, the two sisters took Yang Huiyun for a stroll around the city.

Walking to the end of the street, you'll come across many different food stalls and restaurants. When they get tired and hungry, they buy meat pies, fried dough sticks, and so on... to share and eat together, and take a break along the way.

After passing through the narrow alley, they walked to another bustling street, where there were cosmetic shops, clothing stores, and jewelry shops. They picked a few with high customer traffic and went in to take a look.

At first, Yang Huiyun was a little embarrassed. Just by looking at those shops from the outside, she knew they must be expensive. She didn't have that much money and didn't plan to buy anything, so how could she go in?

The two sisters advised her, "Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Let's take a look in advance so we don't have to make so many trips when we buy it later!"

Then, pulling her along on either side, we went into several stores without buying anything.

Then she went from being too embarrassed to look, to forcing herself to go into the store, and then to being able to exchange a few words with the person greeting her at the door...

Nowadays, people can openly and honestly look at bracelets, hairpins, and earrings in exquisite jewelry shops, and even dare to ask the price!

Pointing to a pair of exquisite earrings adorned with pearl-shaped rubies, she asked the two sisters beside her, "These look really flattering to her skin tone. What do you think of Linlan wearing them?"

While she enjoyed browsing the shops that were a feast for the eyes, she hadn't forgotten her important mission in the city today.

The two sisters nodded in unison: "It looks good."

The shop owner, with a beaming smile, immediately came over to introduce the price of the earrings to them.

Yang Huiyun sighed helplessly: "I pointed to one thing, and you all said it looked good. You didn't say anything else or ask any more questions. Did you still not find anything suitable?"

She had already visited five or six shops, and she felt that if the two sisters found something they liked, she would be willing to argue with the shop owner, saying things like, "The price is too high, can you make it cheaper?"

The two nodded in unison, then shook their heads.

Lin Chunyi frowned and said, "They all look pretty good, but I just feel like, um... they're a bit too ordinary."

If you were to give it as a gift on Ning Linlan's wedding day, it probably wouldn't be as eye-catching and enviable as Zheng Yong said.

Lin Lanshan chimed in, "Yes."

"..." This is normal?

She couldn't help but rub her forehead, realizing for the first time how tiring it could be to go shopping with a young girl.

"Okay, let's go then, let's look around some more."

Ignoring the shop owner's attempts to persuade them to stay, the three of them walked out of the shop empty-handed once again.

The sunlight overhead was already dazzling. Lin Lanshan looked up and suggested, "It's almost noon, and we've been walking around for quite a while. Why don't we go have lunch first and then continue shopping? I'm getting a little hungry."

"Okay!" Yang Huiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt more tired than after spending the whole morning weeding in the fields, compared to the two hours she spent shopping. So, she desperately needed to sit down and rest, and naturally, she couldn't agree more.

Lin Lanshan drove the mule cart at breakneck speed towards Shiweilou, shouting, "Sister-in-law, hold on tight, I'm treating you to a big meal, haha~"

As Yang Huiyun watched the mule cart pass by, she noticed that the houses on both sides of the street were becoming more and more beautifully decorated, and she felt that the restaurant she was about to go to might not be cheap.

She called out to Lin Lanshan anxiously:

"Lanshan, which way are you heading? Let's just find a restaurant to eat at. I saw several places selling steamed buns, noodles, and stir-fries on the way here, that would be fine."

Lin Chunyi sat down next to her and joked, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about where you're going. We definitely won't sell you off."

Yang Huiyun was taken aback for a moment, then glared at her slightly: "Is that what you meant by joking? Is that what I was talking about?"
