She nodded blankly, took the money, turned quickly, and looked around in confusion.
A phone call made her dazed, she could hardly tell the direction.
The aunt seed to notice, seeing that the little girl was just a high school student, estimating she rarely ca out to buy groceries, smiled and pointed towards the at market not far away.
"Oh, little girl, it’s over there, go on quickly, go to the third stall over there, that’s my partner, if you buy there, you won’t be overcharged!"
Gu Tiantian thanked the honest and fair aunt again and quickly made her way towards the at section with Xu Lihong in hand.
The aunt watched the little girl’s back, mumbling to herself.
"Such a pretty little girl, really good-looking, with such an adorable and naive personality, just like a leading lady from TV... tsk... really good-looking!"
The aunt who thought Gu Tiantian was extrely good-looking really went to the third stall to buy at when she reached the at market.
The at seller was a rough man in his forties, and seeing the fresh-faced little girl co to buy at, his eyes lit up.
Usually shouting in a rough voice to sell at, he couldn’t help but soften his voice this ti.
"Little sister, buying at?"
Gu Tiantian nodded and pointed to the area behind the elbow.
"Uncle, please cut a piece from there for , about a pound. And so pork belly, two pounds if possible, sliced thin so I can just chop them a bit for dumplings at ho."
The rough man nodded quickly.
"Alright, little sister, wait a mont, I’ll cut it for you right away!"
With two quick chops, the at was cut, almost perfectly.
As he sliced the pork belly, the rough man started chatting with Gu Tiantian.
"What other vegetables are you buying, little sister? My wife sells vegetables over there, you can take a look there!"
Rembering what the aunt said before, Gu Tiantian smiled with crescent-shaped eyes.
"Uncle, I just bought vegetables from that aunt; that’s how I knew you sell at here!"
Upon hearing his wife had introduced her, the rough man chuckled.
"Is that so, hahaha... Are you making dumplings for so guests at ho, or just improving your own diet!"
He glanced at the vegetables Gu Tiantian was holding, which, though not much, definitely wasn’t just enough for one person.
"Soone at ho was just discharged from the hospital, and guests are coming, so I’m here to buy groceries."
The rough man saw the at was sliced, took a plastic bag and packed it, added another layer of bag outside, and put in the previously packed elbow at, handing it all to Gu Tiantian.
"Here, little sister, it’s all here, a total of forty-six yuan and three jiao. Since you were introduced by my wife, let’s make it forty-five yuan even!"
Unexpectedly getting a discount of one yuan and three jiao, the smile on Gu Tiantian’s face was even more radiant.
"That’s really... thank you so much!"
"No worries, little sister, co by again next ti!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Living around here, grocery shopping is a regular occurrence.
But previously, it was always grandma coming, and she rarely ca herself.
She also went to the seafood section to buy crabs, and when buying crabs, received free perilla leaves, saving her from buying them.
Checking the list, realizing the aunt didn’t have mushrooms, Gu Tiantian went to another stall to buy them.
After purchasing everything, Gu Tiantian didn’t delay any longer and headed straight to the market’s entrance to wait for her uncle.
