Lin Xiaoguai chuckled to herself, she just knew that Shen Chi could be infuriating when he wanted to.
“You’re talking nonsense!” The salesperson jumped up to argue but was stopped by Manager Xu.
Aren’t you done embarrassing yourself?
He glared at the salesperson and then personally fetched them a pair of size 36 leather shoes, apologizing sincerely, “I’m sorry, it’s my lack of discipline.” This wasn’t the first time he had done this, so he was quite adept.
His sincere attitude finally appeased Shen Chi.
He crouched at Lin Xiaoguai’s feet, lifted one of her legs, which startled her.
She instinctively placed her hand on his shoulder and let him change the shoe for her.
“It fits perfectly, Wanwan, what do you think?” By the time she came back to her senses, Shen Chi had already set her foot down and was looking up at her.
“…It’s fine.” Lin Xiaoguai was a bit stunned.
The leather shoes were round-toed and black, simple but elegant.
“Then let’s buy them.” Shen Chi helped her change back into her own shoes, then turned to Manager Xu and said, “I remember these shoes are twenty-nine yuan, right?”
“That’s right.” Manager Xu, clearly a straightforward person, packed the shoes for them and said, “These shoes are expensive, but they’re foreign and made of cowhide, they’re comfortable and good quality.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Shen Chi pulled out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out three banknotes, and handed them over.
The salesperson, who had been indignant before, suddenly froze, her face turning increasingly red, this time with embarrassment.
More than once, her uncle had urged her not to judge customers by their shabby clothes, but she had always ignored this advice, thinking those poor people didn’t buy anything anyway, so why bother being nice.
What if they took advantage and refused to leave?
So, she continued doing things her way, occasionally taking the chance to humiliate those country folks covered in mud.
Each time her uncle apologized to these people politely, she said nothing, but inwardly she felt her uncle was demeaning himself.
Seeing the wad of money the man pulled out, she felt a jolt in her heart, filled with anger, shame, and disbelief.
She had never encountered such a situation before.
Internally, she couldn’t help but complain, if they were so wealthy, why did they dress so poorly!
Unaware of her thoughts, Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai grabbed the shoes and the one yuan in change and left.
“Do you want to buy anything?” Shen Chi asked.
Lin Xiaoguai was about to shake her head, but she suddenly remembered something, changed her answer and said, “I’m almost out of wool, let’s buy some wool.
Also, it will be winter when the baby is born, we need to buy some cotton for a little cotton-padded jacket.”
Actually, infants at that time didn’t wear jackets; they were just bundled in blankets during winter, but Lin Xiaoguai’s thoughts had drifted from this era, and Shen Chi had no idea about these things.
Hearing her say this, Shen Chi also felt the money must be spent.
He took her to buy cotton and, while at it, some fine cloth as well.
While on the street, Lin Xiaoguai also bought some cookies and candies that Shen Xiu liked.
Shen Chi thought she wanted them and even specifically bought two pounds of mulberries picked by villagers and brought into the city.
Passing by the cinema, Shen Chi insisted on buying tickets.
In the dim cinema, where the movie “Xiao Hua” was showing, Lin Xiaoguai, who had been walking around for a long time, was already tired.
The plot, which she had seen before, lacked appeal, and she soon started dozing off.
By the time Shen Chi realized, there was extra weight on his shoulder, where Lin Xiaoguai slept peacefully.
Only after the movie ended and everyone left, did Shen Chi reluctantly wake her up.
“Wanwan, wake up, the movie is over,” Shen Chi gently shook her shoulder and called.
Lin Xiaoguai groggily opened her eyes, scanned the empty seats around, yawned, and said, “I’m hungry.”
Tears welled up at her eyes, making her gaze all the more poignant.
Shen Chi’s throat tightened as he bent over to help her up, his voice tender, “Then let’s go eat.”
Originally, Shen Chi intended to take Lin Xiaoguai to a restaurant, but she suddenly craved noodles.
Confronting her clear, moist-eyed gaze, he succumbed within seconds.
At the noodle house, Lin Xiaoguai ordered a bowl of chicken soup noodles, and Shen Chi ordered a bowl of beef noodles, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables.
Once the noodles arrived, without saying a word, Shen Chi transferred most of the beef from his bowl into Lin Xiaoguai’s bowl and half of the scrambled eggs, then mixed the remaining eggs and pickled pork with his noodles.
“I can’t eat this much,” Lin Xiaoguai said somewhat helplessly.
Although she had ordered a small bowl, the small size at that time was pretty much equivalent to a large bowl from the future, and the portion of beef and scrambled eggs Shen Chi had added was not small.
