C30 Meet Acquaintances
"Yo, what? We haven't seen each other for half a year. Don't you know your Aunt He?" The woman touched her bun and looked at Ning Silian.
"Eh, that's not it. I had an accident not too long ago. There are some things I can't remember clearly!" Ning Silian pointed to the scar on her forehead as an excuse.
"Oh my god, how did this happen?" Seeing that there was indeed a scar on her fair skin, Aunt He immediately cried out in alarm.
"It doesn't matter! It's just some minor injuries, but Aunt He is the one who owns this grain store? " Ning Silian was not used to her enthusiasm, so she quickly interrupted.
Upon hearing her ask about the grain store, Aunt He slapped her thigh. "You said that you were fine and had forgotten all about it. You're the one!"
"Eh, Aunt He, I …"
"Half a year ago, I lived in Village Liu with a plug. Later on, the boss earned some money in the city, so wasn't this the same as opening a grain store in the city? He thought that the grain his fellow villagers grew could be bought and sold by me, no!" As he spoke, he beckoned to the seventeen or eighteen year old man. "Thug, quickly come over. Who are you looking for?"
When the man got closer, Ning Silian noticed that he was staring at her with a slightly dazed expression. A trace of unknown substance flowed out of the corner of her mouth. Embarrassed, Ning Silian shouted at him, "Brother Throat!"
Then, the man actually smiled at her foolishly, causing her to be even more confused.
When Aunt He saw this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth before scolding: "Look at you, child. Your sister Silian is calling you!"
It was better if she didn't say anything. Once she said it, the man started laughing even more happily.
"Hehehehe …"
"Alright, hurry up and bring out the beans from the back!" Aunt He patted his sturdy arm and ordered. Only then did the bolt go to the back in a daze. As it walked, it turned its head to look at Ning Silian.
"Silian, why are you here today?"
"I want to buy some food."
"Yo, nice relationship. This is a new one. Take a look and see how much you need. I'll personally pack it for you, Aunt He." She pulled Ning Silian over to the most expensive food price.
"Aunt He, I just want to buy one liter of rice, one liter of soybeans and five bucks of flour!"
"Ah …" Aunt He froze for a moment, "How are you going to take so many soybeans back when you buy them?" This Village Liu was at least fifty kilometers away from the Gulo City.
"When we came, we met Big Brother Dongqing. We had an appointment with him not even three minutes earlier, so he was waiting for us at the city gate to return together."
"Oh!" Aunt He meaningfully glanced at Ning Silian as an idea flashed through her mind.
"It's still early, why don't you two siblings go take a look? Put this thing here for me. When you come back, I'll get your Brother Thug to send it to you."
"That's great. Thank you, Aunt He." Ning Silian happily took out 170 letters and passed it to Aunt He.
Aunt He took the coins and counted them before putting them away in the money box and sending them out.
"This West Market is so lively. It's rare for you to come here, so go shopping!" Aunt He said as she was about to leave.
"OK, Aunt He." Ning Silian pulled Ning Huai out of the grain store and walked to the front.
"Great sir, how much are you selling these fish for?"
"Fifteen gold taels a catty, it's fresh and new!"
He looked at the fish swimming in the bowl and chose one. "This one!"
"Sigh, alright, I'll help you put it on." He took out a piece of straw and twisted it out of his mouth and cheeks. He tied a knot and passed it to Ning Silian. "Take it, thirty coins."
Ning Silian took out 30 words and handed it to him. She took the fish and asked, "Uncle, where is the medicine shop around here?"
"Just walk forward and take a left turn. Hundred Herb Hall's Doctor Zhang is known for his benevolence. He usually has a headache, but he doesn't even charge money when he goes to the clinic."
