Chapter 29

As the two were talking, Zhou Yubai came back, carrying a basket on his back and a bag in his hands.

“Where did the basket come from?” Shen Qingli took two steps forward and wanted to take the bag from Zhou Yubai’s hand.

“There are a lot of things, so I bought a basket.” Zhou Yubai moved sideways to avoid Shen Qingli’s outstretched hand. “It’s heavy, I’ll take it.”

Shen Qingli felt sweet in her heart, her man was so nice.

Zhou Yubai put the things on the ground, bent down to move Niuniu who was still sleeping, and then put the basket and bag on.

“You sit on it too, I’ll push you to the supply and marketing cooperative.” Zhou Yubai said.

“I’m in good health. I’ll go up when we’re almost to the village.” Shen Qingli said in a low voice. She blinked at Zhou Yubai and smiled playfully and cutely.

Zhou Yubai did not insist, and they soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Niu Niu woke up as soon as she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

“Niuniu woke up at the right time. Come on, mom will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative.” Shen Qingli extended her hand to Niuniu.

Niu Niu’s eyes lit up with excitement and she instantly became energetic.

“Yes, mother.”

The mother and daughter held hands.

Zhou Yubai stuffed the money bills into Shen Qingli’s pocket and said, “Buy whatever you want, Niuniu too.”

“Well, thank you, Dad.” Niu Niu said crisply.

Zhou Yubai raised his hand and ruffled her hair. “Gou Wa and I will be waiting for you here.”

“Dad, you go too. I’ll just look after the things.” Gou Wa said hurriedly.

“It’s only natural for girls to go shopping and men to wait. You two are here.” Shen Qingli joked with a smile.

She understood what Zhou Yubai meant.

He bought a lot of things, including food, meat and everything else. If they met someone, Gou Wa alone would not be able to handle it.

“Okay, go ahead.”

Supply and marketing cooperative.

It was Niu Niu’s first time to come to the supply and marketing cooperative. Everything she saw was curious and she exclaimed in delight.

This was the first time that new light shone into her world.

Niu Niu held Shen Qingli’s hand tightly with her little hand, watching with only her eyes. Her other hand was clenched into a fist, for fear that she would accidentally break something.

“Niuniu, what do you want?” Shen Qingli squatted down and looked at Niuniu at eye level.

“Niuniu wants to buy pencils and notebooks for her brother.” Niuniu said after thinking for a while.

“Okay.” Shen Qingli responded, “This is the gift we give to brother. What does Niuniu want?”

“Niuniu doesn’t want anything. She’s very happy that Niuniu can come and see me.” Niuniu said seriously.

Shen Qingli felt a little sad. How could a little kid be so sensible?

She was so sensible that she wanted to spend more money on her.

Shen Qingli bought egg cakes, biscuits, honey-covered dough sticks, walnut cakes, sesame cakes and glutinous rice sticks. She also wanted to buy some oil tea noodles, but after smelling them, she thought they might not be as good as what she made, so she gave up.

Then, I bought pencils and notebooks for Gou Wa and Niu Niu, and also bought them new shoes.

Zhou Yubai also had a share of shoes.

In fact, with the help of superpowers, making shoes is not difficult, but Shen Qingli cannot make these things too quickly. If it does not conform to common sense, Zhou Yubai will be worried again.

So use the money to solve their current urgent needs first.

Before leaving, I remembered that there was only one thermos at home, so I bought another one.

Niuniu was a little worried when she saw Shen Qingli bought so many things at once. She tugged at the corner of Shen Qingli’s clothes and asked in a low voice, “Mom, will Dad be angry?”

Shen Qingli was amused by Niu Niu’s mature appearance despite being a little girl.

“No, if your father dares to get angry, mother will beat him.”

“Mom, don’t hit Dad. Dad loves you so much. If he gets angry, Niuniu go and coax him.” Niuniu said hurriedly, fearing that Shen Qingli would really hit Zhou Yubai.

Shen Qingli was amused by her and laughed.

Shen Qingli was already pretty, and this smile from the heart made her look like she was radiating light, and everyone who saw her couldn’t take their eyes off her…

Shen Qingli realized something was wrong, immediately put away her smile, and hurriedly paid the bill and left.

It was not until Shen Qingli and Niu Niu had left for a while that noises began to be heard in the supply and marketing cooperative.

“Why is it so beautiful?”

“That’s right. As a woman, I want to take her home after seeing her.”

“The gap is so big that I don’t even have the heart to be jealous.”

“I don’t know which man is so lucky to marry her.”

Shen Qingli was unaware of people’s discussions and put the things into the basket. She covered the things that couldn’t fit in with the quilt used to cover the cart.

Niu Niu insisted on following the cart. After walking for a while, Shen Qingli finally put her on the cart.

It takes more than an hour to walk from Kaoshantun to the town.

When they arrived near the village, Shen Qingli got on a cart and was pushed by Zhou Yubai all the way into the village. Niu Niu began to pretend to be sick and lay down weakly, and so did Gou Wa. The two little ones closed their eyes.

“Zhou family boy, how are the two children?”

“I’ve been to the hospital. There’s no need for gastric lavage. Just take good care of yourself.” Shen Qingli said while coughing.

It looked like he might vomit blood at any moment.

No one dared to get too close, for fear that the blood would spray on them.

“What’s in this basket?” asked a trustworthy villager.

Zhou Yubai raised his eyes and looked over. The man instinctively shrank his neck, and was… quite scared.

“The doctor told us to feed the child more. We don’t have enough food at home, so we bought some coarse grains.” Shen Qingli continued to answer while coughing.

“Get out of the way.” Zhou Yubai said coldly. How hard it must be for his wife to pretend to cough!

This group of people have no vision.

People who wanted to go forward to watch the excitement hurriedly dispersed.

Mrs. Li saw from afar Zhou Yubai pushing a cart with Gou Wa and Niu Niu lying on it, and saw the villagers leaving in a hurry. She thought to herself, these two unlucky stars must be dead!

That’s great!

Even if I can’t get that bitch’s stuff, it would be good to at least cheat Zhou Yubai and the others out of some money.

Zhou Yubai just came back from the army, he must have money on him!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li immediately burst into tears as if possessed by a spirit of drama.

“Oh, God, my poor grandchildren, why are you gone? How can I live? Why wasn’t I the one who died? I am willing to exchange my life for you.”

Mrs. Li ran over with a few big steps and sat down in front of the cart with a plop.

Gou Wa:?

Niuniu:!

Shen Qingli: What kind of crazy thing is this?

Zhou Yubai: It’s so annoying.

Mrs. Li cried so heartbrokenly that it moved heaven and earth.

“Mrs. Li, we are fine, but you said you would give your life to me and Niu Niu, so we will accept it. Thank you.” Gou Wa said loudly.

Mrs. Li’s crying stopped abruptly.

Shen Qingli silently gave Gou Wa a thumbs up. Gou Wa’s reaction was great.

“Mrs. Li, you are so kind to our children. Yu Bai and I are really touched. Although the saying that there are gods above our heads is a thing of the past, and we don’t do that now, I really hope that the gods can hear your kindness.”

“It’s all yours.”

Mrs. Li instantly felt that the air around her seemed to have become much colder…
