Chapter 128 Thanks
Chapter 128 Thanks
"Thank you so much for bringing them back, young lady! Lang'er, Mo'er, come over here and thank this kind lady." The young woman smiled and pulled the two children back to Su Yue.
As Su Yue watched the lively family crowding around her, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly.
She thought to herself: Actually, the reason I took them home was just because the kids said they wanted to buy something.
"Hehehe, no need to be so polite. It was really just a small favor, nothing to mention," Su Yue quickly waved her hand and said.
Just then, the slightly younger boy clung tightly to his mother's sleeve, shaking it and pleading.
"Mother, I want to eat the candied walnuts that my sister sold earlier."
It turned out that on the way back with the two little ones, Su Yue noticed that the two little rascals kept staring at the roasted sugar walnuts.
On the carriage, they were each given a small piece of candied walnut to taste. Unexpectedly, the sweet and crunchy flavor instantly won over the heart of the little boy who loved sweets.
Su Yue couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to this little rascal named Lang'er, thinking to herself, "What a clever kid!"
"What is that?" Wang Xuping, a middle-aged man standing to the side, obviously didn't understand what his son meant by "sugar walnuts" and asked with a blank look.
Lang'er blinked her big, round eyes and smacked her pink lips twice.
Then she tightly grasped her father's strong, powerful hand and eagerly pulled him toward the carriage where Su Yue had stopped.
Along the way, Lang'er kept excitedly pointing to the sign of the convenience store not far away with his other little hand, talking like a machine gun.
"Father! Look, Sister Yue sells everything here! Just now, I smelled a really delicious aroma, it was so tempting, that I couldn't resist pulling Sister Yue along to run out... Father..."
As he finished speaking, Lang'er's voice grew softer and softer, like that of a frightened little rabbit.
She timidly looked up and stole a glance at her father's face, secretly praying that she wouldn't be punished.
Ever since Lang'er was able to sit up steadily, his strict grandfather and stern father have disciplined him very strictly.
He was required to follow the rules strictly and without making the slightest mistake; otherwise, if he made a mistake, he would be punished in the family ancestral hall.
If it weren't for his kind grandmother and gentle mother who always protected and loved him, his little bottom would probably have been spanked countless times long ago.
Sure enough, after hearing Lang'er's explanation, his father's originally calm face instantly turned ashen, like the sky before a storm, making people feel dreadful.
Upon seeing this, Lang'er's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong; his heart was in his throat.
He absolutely did not want his father to punish him in front of Sister Yue; not only would that be incredibly humiliating, but he had also solemnly promised Sister Yue beforehand...
I will definitely sell those sweet and delicious candied walnuts; I absolutely cannot break my promise!
Thinking of this, Lang'er's clever little brain turned to something, taking advantage of the fact that his father hadn't yet reacted.
It quietly moved its two chubby little legs, retreating step by step.
She hid completely behind Fenniang, only showing half her head, carefully observing her father's every move.
Fen Niang keenly noticed her husband's gloomy expression, and her heart tightened. She quickly shielded the young Lang'er tightly behind her.
At the same time, Wang Xuping quickly put away the serious and somewhat intimidating expression on his face and turned to face Su Yue and the others who were about to watch the show.
He bowed slightly to them with a hint of apology, his gesture very polite.
Nevertheless, he did not hesitate to take out a full twenty taels of silver to buy the pot of sweet and delicious sugar walnuts that Qiaoxiang had carefully roasted.
At this moment, Su Yue couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that after making such a long trip, all I've done is sell a pot of candied walnuts?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled broadly at Wang Xuping and said, "Uncle! Look at my signboard, there are so many delicious things on it, won't you buy some more?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuping first gave Fen Niang a look, seemingly conveying some kind of tacit understanding.
Then, he began to carefully examine the sign hanging next to the carriage.
Not long after, Fenniang, who had been gone for a moment, quickly came back carrying a small, exquisite box.
Approaching her, she gently handed the item to Su Yue and said softly, "Miss Yue, thank you so much for personally escorting our two children back."
This is just a small token of my gratitude; please don't find it offensive and be sure to accept it.
Faced with this unexpected gift, Su Yue was truly taken aback and immediately waved her hands, indicating that she absolutely could not accept it.
However, unable to resist Fen Niang's repeated insistence and earnest words, and after several refusals, Su Yue finally accepted the gift as a token of her gratitude.
After Su Yue happily accepted the gift, Lang'er, like a lively and adorable little rabbit, hopped and skipped over to his father.
The little guy stretched out his chubby little hand, pointed at the fresh, pink peach pattern on the sign, and blinked his big, watery eyes.
She tilted her head back and asked in a childish voice, "Sister Yue, is this a peach? Are there still peaches to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yue immediately perked up and quickly replied, "Yes! Of course! All the fruits depicted on this are there."
Upon hearing this, Lang'er's face flushed with excitement, her mouth slightly open, and it seemed as if saliva was about to drip down her chin.
He turned around impatiently, grabbed his mother's sleeve tightly, and swayed his body, pleading, "Mother~ I want to eat peaches."
How could Fen Niang resist her precious son's soft, cute, and charming charm?
Without even considering whether peaches were available this season, she quickly squatted down and gently patted Lang'er's little head.
She coaxed him softly, "My dear boy, I'll buy it for you right away."
After saying that, she didn't even care about Wang Xuping, who was still standing aside and looking at the sign carefully, and said to Su Yue in a very generous manner, "Miss Yue, we'll have one of all of these dishes."
This was a pleasant surprise for Su Yue, as this was the most she had sold in the past few days!
So she quickly replied with a smile, "Okay, just wait a moment."
Then, Su Yue turned around and walked quickly to the carriage, gently lifted the curtain and went inside.
After entering the carriage, he took out all the food that Fenniang needed from his spatial storage.
A short while later, Su Yue came out carrying a whole bunch of fruit.
