Poverty Alleviation Princess

Although at the beginning, he came to the street with the purpose of choosing an engagement gift for Elena and Spedo.This is still her goal until now, but...

A Yuan glanced at the cookie she was holding in her hand, and then sneaked a glance at the man walking quietly beside her.

But looking at it now, it's actually more like a date.

It is rare that there is neither a third person nor the pressure of urgent work.It's just two people walking on the lively streets, picking out gifts for friends, and looking at the city streets they built.

It's amazing.

Ah Yuan thought.

Just realizing this, I feel that the air seems to be different.

Although it is different from the cousins ​​and cousins ​​I met a long time ago, I can see "wow, these two are so sweet" at a glance, but love is a matter of one person and one appearance.

She was in a good mood humming a tune she had heard somewhere, and walked briskly to the next shop.

"Thinking of what gift to give?"

Seeing that Yuan's mood improved, Uchiha Madara also infected her good mood, and slightly evoked a smile.

"No, no." A Yuan shook his head, "I just think this is actually quite happy, so I'm not in a hurry."

In the past, she was only worried about what to do if she couldn't find a suitable gift. The more she couldn't find a suitable gift, the more anxious she became. up.

I just scanned the shelves hastily, turned and left without seeing the right one.In fact, I didn't take a good look at the shops on the street I built.

What kind of people are the people who open the store, and whether the store is running well...

If Madara hadn't suddenly bought herself a pack of cookies, she might still be in this bad state of anxiety.

——Naturally, I wouldn't realize that this is actually such a beautiful thing as 'a date'.

"Ah, let's go to that house too."

A Yuan pointed to the grocery store diagonally ahead, grabbed the hand of the person next to him and walked there.

The arrested person was stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed the muscles that had been tensed for a moment because of the other party's touch, and walked forward docilely following the force that was worthless to him.The slender fingers with well-articulated joints moved, and finally they were closed inward, and they were held in the little hand that was holding him.

He looked at the hands of the two people who were holding each other, and his eyebrows and eyes, which were always slightly gloomy and sharp, softened.

Although it is called a grocery store, it is not full of all kinds of light industrial products like the grocery store known by later generations - after all, it is still in the era of steam engines, and oil has not yet been popularized, let alone various petroleum derivatives up.

So it may be more appropriate to call it a 'handmade shop'.

Inside are various wooden and copper handmade products.

There are everything from small candle holders to large wooden boxes.

It was a surprise.

Ah Yuan thought.

The reason why she said she wanted to come in just now was not because she thought there would be any suitable good things here, but because she simply wanted to enjoy the process of 'shopping' more.

No, it should be said to be the process of 'dating'.

Therefore, she did not have any hope for the products in this slightly old store.

I never expected that the quality of the products in the store is much higher than expected. Although not all of them are expensive materials, they are clean and exquisite.

Not sure what to pick out.

This small rattan box is also pretty good, almost as long as her forearm, and can hold small odds and ends like handkerchiefs.

Ah, this candle holder looks pretty dainty too.

And this jar, there are such jars in such a store.

A Yuan shuttled among the shelves, hunting for treasures with great interest.

This decoration is also good, it seems to be a... Cupid?This looks good.

"What is the customer looking for?"

The owner of the store is a woman in her thirties, wearing half-new dresses, with a soft and friendly appearance.Seeing that A Yuan was struggling all the time, he took the initiative to step forward to see if he could help.

"My friend is getting engaged soon and I want to choose a gift for her."

A Yuan decided to listen to the shopkeeper's opinion. She had been wandering around for a long time and didn't see anything in particular, so she might as well listen to other people's opinions.

"Ah, is it an engagement gift?" The shopkeeper smiled suddenly, looking as happy as if his friend was getting engaged. "That's a good thing."

"You can look at this, this, and this."

She took a few items from the shelves on both sides and placed them in front of A Yuan, one of which was the Cupid ornament that A Yuan had just seen.

"This jewelry box has two layers, and it is enough to put a few pieces of jewelry for daily use." The first thing she showed was a double-layer jewelry box that was as big as two hands.After opening, there is a layer of flannel in the jewelry box to prevent the jewelry from being scratched.

This is also a product that the owner chooses after seeing the clothes of the customers.

This jewelry box is not cheap.Although there are no expensive jewelry decorations, there are thin silver-plated patterns on it, and it is also very delicately handmade, so the price is outside the consumption range of ordinary people.

"The meaning of this ornament is also very good."

Seeing that A Yuan didn't show any special expression after fiddling with the jewelry box, the shopkeeper began to introduce another ornament besides the Cupid ornament.

"This ornament has Vengley's coat of arms on it."

"……what?"

It was only then that A Yuan noticed that the fuzzy patterns on the ornament she held in her hand turned out to be Pengo Li's coat of arms.

"What's the point of this?" Why does Pengo Lie's coat of arms have a meaning?

"This city became so prosperous under the protection of Vengley, so we believe that things like this engraved with Vengley's coat of arms can keep us safe."

Seeing that A Yuan was very interested, the owner couldn't help but smiled and said a few more words.

"Don't look at how prosperous this place is now. A few years ago, it was almost deserted because of war and poverty. It was Pengelie who brought this place back to life."

"Especially the construction of various facilities and the newly formulated various regulations in the past two years have led to today's life."

"You seem satisfied with these?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's smiling face, Ah Yuan felt a little satisfaction in his heart.

"Yes, if it weren't for these things, our life wouldn't be as good as it is today, and a woman like me who has lost her husband wouldn't be able to properly inherit the business of the family shop."

Not only is it because the world is too chaotic, her personal safety as a woman is not guaranteed, but also because in such a poor day, who would have the money to buy these sundries?

When mentioning her deceased husband, her eyes showed a little nostalgia, but more of it was satisfaction with her current life.

"Is that so..."

Although this Pengo Lie decoration is not suitable for an engagement gift, it is quite suitable to buy back as a gift to Giotto. After all, this is people's affirmation of his ideals and his constant struggle.

His dedication, what he has fought for, people can see in their eyes and be grateful in their hearts.Though she doesn't think giotto is doing it for people's thanks.

But it is also a good thing to have such a 'gift'.

"Ah, if these are not satisfactory, you can also take a look at this one."

As the female boss spoke, she took out a box from under the counter, and then carefully took out a small wooden box from the box.

"this is?"

"It's a music box."

The female boss showed it to A Yuan with a smile.

She twisted the spring underneath, and crisp and sweet music came out of the music box.

"This is my husband's handicraft. He used to be an apprentice making music boxes with his master." The owner rubbed the surface of the music box with a nostalgic expression. "His craftsmanship is very good, and Master has always praised him for his talent."

"Ah, then this should be left to you..."

"I used to think so too, but in fact he has left me a lot." The female shopkeeper smiled softly. "If this music box can bring a little happiness to others, it is the best for it."

This is something that is not needed in the war-torn era, so she used to store it deep in the bottom of the box.

"You can look at these and see which one is more suitable."

After the female boss finished the introduction, she stood quietly at the side of the counter, waiting for the customers to make their own decisions.

"I want it all."

A Yuan chooses Baoyuan.

She thinks these things are very commemorative.

The ornaments can be given to giotto, the jewelry box can be given to Meili, and this music box can be given to Elena and Spedo as an engagement gift.

Even as an option?Anyway, there is still time to go and see others.

After the boss wrapped up all the things that Yuan bought, Uchiha Madara consciously reached out for the bag containing the goods.

"Well, please wait a moment."

Just when A Yuan and Uchiha Madara walked out of the store and were about to leave, the female shopkeeper suddenly chased them out.

"What's wrong?" Should I pay the right amount?

A Yuan looked at the shopkeeper who was still panting because of his haste.

"This, if you don't mind, please accept it."

She spread her hands, revealing the hand-woven bracelets inside.

"You two are a couple." She stepped forward and handed over the bracelet in her hand. "This is a bracelet that blesses love. Although I don't think you two need it, it's good to have a good meaning."

The two guests actually didn't have any particularly obvious interaction, but she was someone who had been there anyway.

The way this man who had barely spoken looked at the girl was obviously looking at the person he loved the most.

Forbearing but fiery, she is so focused that she seems to be the only one in the whole world.

Oops, this is 'passionate love'.

"..."

Yuan raised his head and looked at Madara Uchiha.

Most of the time, the young man is expressionless with surprise and...a little bewilderment?

Seeing this, the girl blinked playfully, and put her feet up in front of him: "How about it, do you think I should accept it?"

Under the sunlight, the girl's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be shining, especially those lively eyes, which were as bright as stars.

"Ok?"

Seeing Uchiha Madara's eyebrows and eyes answering, she urged again.

"You know it."

Know that it is impossible for me to say no to anything related to you.

Always powerful and dangerous, the handsome man who had a strong sense of presence just standing there shook his head slightly.Then he raised his empty hand and took two bracelets from the boss.After putting it away, he leaned down and asked in a gentle voice that was rare in his life, with a little awkwardness: "Later... can I take it with me?"

A Yuan smiled contentedly, and then took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand again.

"of course."
