“Just as well, I was about to say that the shop’s getting busy, so I was planning to leave early today. Let’s head out sooner rather than later, lest it gets too hot.”
Upon hearing Zhuang Yutian say this, Zhuang Qingning tidied up a bit and followed Zhuang Yutian to the county town together with Zhuang Qingsui.
Upon arriving at Zhuang Yutian’s cloth shop, Mrs. Meng and Zhuang Wencheng saw the carriage returning and hurried out to welcome them, helping carry things. To their pleasant surprise, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were present.
“Miss Ning is here.” Mrs. Meng enthusiastically led the way to the backyard, “You must be hot after the journey. Come in and cool down.”
While speaking, she called Zhuang Wencheng over to cut some watermelon and bring cool tea over.
Zhuang Wencheng was quite surprised at Zhuang Qingning’s sudden visit to the county town. He hurriedly went to fetch the watermelon and tea as instructed by Mrs. Meng, but hesitated towards the idea of explaining why he was now at the cloth shop.
After thinking it over, he went to find Zhuang Yutian, hoping to inquire if Zhuang Qingning was aware that he was no longer working at the pharmacy.
But before he could speak, Zhuang Yutian had already called out to Mrs. Meng, “We’re swamped up front. Could you lend a hand?”
“By the way, Miss Sui, a customer had commissioned a tailor to make a summer outfit a few days ago, but the clothes ended up too small and the order couldn’t be filled. The clothes have been lying in the shop since then. They look like they would fit you. How about you try them on?”
New clothes?
Childish excitement lit up Zhuang Qingsui’s face at the mention of new clothes, but she still looked to Zhuang Qingning for permission.
“Go ahead.” Zhuang Qingning patted her little head, smiling.
Zhuang Qingsui ecstatically followed Zhuang Yutian away.
Realizing Zhuang Yutian’s intent when he called Mrs. Meng over and specifically asked Zhuang Qingsui to inspect some clothes, Mrs. Meng cheerfully responded, “Miss Ning, rest a while. I’ll be right back.”
“Do what you need to, Auntie.”
“Wencheng, look after Miss Ning for me. You two grew up together, and it’s been a while since you last saw each other. This would be a good chance to catch up.”
Before leaving, she specially instructed Zhuang Wencheng.
Zhuang Wencheng, who had been quite flustered, quickly acknowledged her command, bringing the watermelon and cold tea, “Little Sister Ning, try some of this watermelon. It’s quite sweet.”
“Thank you, Brother Wencheng.” Zhuang Qingning smiled.
