Liu Xiaoru hesitated when she heard the invitation.

Shopkeeper Luo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I don't hate you for saying bad things about me behind my back."

Now that the business has been done, Shopkeeper Luo doesn't look as snobbish as she had guessed before, and Liu Xiaoru feels a little embarrassed.

Liu Xiaoru wanted to just fool around with it, but when she turned around, she saw Niuniu looking at them with big eyes.

Liu Xiaoru felt that she should set a good example in front of Niuniu, so she gritted her teeth and said to Shopkeeper Luo, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said bad things about you behind your back before."

Shopkeeper Luo was stunned when he heard the words. Seeing Liu Xiaoru so serious, he couldn't say those casual jokes.

"It's okay, you didn't mean it, and I did leave during this period, so it's normal for you to have such a misunderstanding." Shopkeeper Luo also became more serious.

Liu Xiaoru apologized seemingly bowing her head, but Shopkeeper Luo looked at her differently. Although he had been begging for supply before, because of the bad words behind her back, how could Shopkeeper Luo not mind at all? He also felt guilty at this moment, thinking that he had underestimated Liu Xiaoru.

He thought that this female shopkeeper could go further in the future if she could lower her face to apologize.

Liu Xiaoru thought it would be difficult to apologize, but when she really said it, she didn't expect it to be so simple. She turned her head and looked at Niuniu.

Niuniu looked back at her with curved eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Luo asked again about the banquet tomorrow night.

Liu Xiaoru no longer hesitated and said, "You have been urging me to go, how can I not go."

After Shopkeeper Luo left, Zhang Yuniang wanted to talk to her, but the business in the shop was booming again.

"Our Niuniu is really too prosperous. The business has improved since you came!" Liu Xiaoru praised Niuniu while holding her face.

Niuniu immediately said, "Then I'll come every day and help Aunt Liu with her business!"

Liu Xiaoru hurriedly said, "That's great. With Niuniu by my side, I have the energy to do anything!"

Niuniu's eyes lit up.

Working for Liu Xiaoru was so easy. She just moved a chair and sat at the door to eat and drink. The homemade stewed food was so delicious that Niuniu even thought she was willing to do this kind of work for the rest of her life.

Zhang Yunniang coughed lightly, interrupting Niuniu's fantasy.

Niuniu immediately turned to look at Zhang Yunniang, "Mom, can I come and help? I really want to help Aunt Liu."

Zhang Yunniang reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead, saying, "You don't want to help, you just want to eat. If you come to help, will you still learn to write? Your father said that you fell behind a lot of your studies during the New Year."

Niuniu's face suddenly became bitter. She liked both studying and eating.

"I'll come here in the morning and practice calligraphy at home in the afternoon?"

Zhang Yunniang still shook her head.

Niuniu said again: "I come once every two days? Three days? I can come here to practice calligraphy?"

Liu Xiaoru also joined the begging team: "Sister, just let Niuniu come over to play, it's so boring for me to look after the shop alone."

Zhang Yunniang couldn't stand the two people begging together, so she could only say: "Come once every three days, and bring your homework with you, understand?"

Niuniu and Liu Xiaoru cheered together.

Zhang Yunniang interrupted their happiness and asked Liu Xiaoru: "Didn't you make an appointment with Cheng He tomorrow night?"

Liu Xiaoru's eyes flashed with a trace of sarcasm, and she said: "I will postpone it when I see him. Don't worry, I don't have to go out to find him deliberately. He comes three or four times a day. Maybe he comes before you go back. You will run into him when you turn a corner. If you calculate carefully, I can run into him every time I go out these days, just like he is staring at me."

The more Liu Xiaoru talked, the more she felt that this was the fact. If she hadn't run into him every time she went out, she wouldn't have been so quick to determine that Cheng He and she were destined to be together.

Zhang Yunniang thought of this bad fate and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then you have to talk to him nicely when the time comes. Men are strong. If you force him, you don't know what he will do."

Liu Xiaoru nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister, I know. I won't say anything. I will just find a reason and slowly make him cold."

She said so, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the meat-cutting knife on the counter.

Zhang Yunniang's heart jumped and said, "I will stay with you in the shop for the next few days."

Liu Xiaoru hurriedly refused and said, "Don't worry, sister, I know what I am doing."

Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly.

Liu Xiaoru said again, "It's rare that we don't have to guard the shop. Let's go out for a walk!"

Because Niu Niu's fortune-making physique, the braised food in the shop was sold out in advance. Without waiting for Zhang Yunniang to answer, Liu Xiaoru excitedly picked up Niu Niu and rushed out.

Even if Zhang Yunniang didn't want to go shopping, she was forced to follow.

When they really went shopping, Zhang Yunniang regretted it even more.

"This is beautiful, it really suits Niuniu!"

"Wow, this is also good, but our Niuniu is missing a pink spring shirt!"

"Two more sets of clothes for adults, one style!"

Liu Xiaoru felt like she had ants biting her money. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't spend it. When she was walking on the street, she saw this or that, and she wanted to empty the whole street and hang it on Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang.

Niuniu felt that her head was unusually heavy, and whispered: "Head...head is so heavy..."

The five-year-old girl had silver bells hanging on both braids on her head, and there were several hairpins of various styles on the back of her head.

There was also a pure gold rabbit pendant hanging around her neck. Liu Xiaoru said that Niuniu was born in the Year of the Rabbit, so she bought a gold pendant to pray for the child.

After buying so many things, Liu Xiaoru still felt that she was too poor to match Niuniu's gold rabbit with a big gold chain.

Zhang Yunniang saw that she couldn't stop her desire to buy things. While Liu Xiaoru was trying on clothes, she paid for the clothes, waited for people to come out, and after seeing how the clothes fit, she directly pulled Liu Xiaoru and Niuniu back.

"Sister, why are you in such a hurry? I also saw a green dress. Niuniu will definitely look good in it!" Liu Xiaoru shouted.

This time, Zhang Yunniang was determined not to let her spend money recklessly, and she forcibly pulled her back.

"These are too expensive. I'll keep this dress, and you can keep the others." Zhang Yunniang took off all the silver ornaments on Niuniu's head and the gold pendant on her neck.

Liu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Sister, you bought these clothes with your own money, how can it be considered a favor from me? Why should I keep these things? They are all for children to wear, and they won't be returned. Who else can I give them to if not Niu Niu?"

Zhang Yunniang saw that she didn't take it, and her face was full of helplessness.

Niu Niu's head was no longer so heavy, and she felt a lot more relaxed. She simply sat down on the steps by the roadside. It happened that someone was playing Guanpu on the roadside. Niu Niu sat on the steps and stretched her neck to look there.

The so-called Guanpu is a game similar to lottery. If you like the goods on the stall, you can buy them directly, or you can spend a little money to gamble. If you win the gamble, you can get everything. If you lose the gamble, the money will naturally belong to the stall owner.

Liu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Sister, look at Niu Niu, her eyes are glued to those people."

It seems that what she said came true.

As soon as Liu Xiaoru walked to Niu Niu's side, a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere.

"Xiao Ru, you closed your shop early today. I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Cheng He said with a smile.

Liu Xiao Ru's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she said, "What a coincidence. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you had someone watching me all the time."
