C77 (1/2)

With light steps, Chu Yu carried the small basket and slowly browsed through the stalls in the town.

It wasn't easy for Xiang Qicheng to let her go out and buy things today. She didn't want to go back so quickly.

Stopping in front of a woman who sold eggs, Chu Yu lowered his head and placed the eggs on the stand into the basket one by one.

She remembered that the eggs in the house had been used up, but she couldn't pick them up. She just picked them up and put them into the basket without even looking at them. This action caused the woman to laugh involuntarily.

”How much is it?” Chu Yu spoke in the standard local language as he took out a stack of large bills from his pocket and handed it over to the woman.

However, she didn't know that these words were actually learnt right before she left the room. Xiang Qicheng helped her correct her words one by one.

However, she still could not understand the local dialect.

The woman smiled as she took out a small face value from her stack of money, and also took out a few pieces of money from the basket on the Red Ribbon, and gave it to Chu Yu. She talked nonstop, and even stuffed a handful of spring onion into her basket enthusiastically.

Chu Yu felt embarrassed and wanted to reject her, but he did not know how to do so. He vaguely nodded his head and smiled back, but in his heart, he secretly regretted that he did not manage to learn a few more pleasantries from Xiang Qicheng. Otherwise, he would not be so embarrassed.

She continued to stroll in front of the stall, her arm reddened from the weight of the eggs in the basket.

After following Xiang Qicheng around for so many times, she had finally started to understand the customs of this town.

People, male or female, who went out to buy on the street carried a small basket in their arms, and the items they bought could be put into it in one go.

As for the vendors, they would definitely have a small basket next to their hands, either letting out money to find change or putting away some small items. In short, the basket was an essential item for every household in the town.

As the sun gradually set, Xiang Qicheng picked a bunch of lavender flowers from the field. The only difference from the past was that he had placed the lavender in a vase in the living room.

Suddenly, his phone rang. When he answered, Zuo Lin's voice came out.

Xiang Qicheng remained silent for a while before replying: I got it, let's delay the company first. ”Besides, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?”

Ye Zichen glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 4 pm, the day in town was always very short, and the sun was going to set early.

”What …” Send me the segment monitor and recording, I want it now! ” The moment he heard Zuo Lin's report, a layer of chilliness appeared in Xiang Qicheng's eyes, and his tone grew heavier.

If all this was premeditated, then he would definitely make the two of them repay the debt in a thousand times more painful ways.

After hanging up, the moment he turned around, he saw Chu Yu standing at the doorway.

Xiang Qicheng was startled for a moment, trying hard to recall if the conversation he just had was too obvious.

Chu Yu carried his basket and walked in as usual, looked at Xiang Qicheng, and headed straight to the kitchen.

”What did you buy?” He followed her to the kitchen to break the silent atmosphere. He was not sure if Chu Yu had heard what he had said on the phone.
