Smiling, she shrugged her shoulders and took the initiative to say, “Let’s go! I’ll take you guys to the place where I buy groceries. I remember there’s a vegetable market nearby, and the products there are quite good.”
Although the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket are also decent, they just don’t compare to the freshness and authenticity of the ones from the vegetable market.
And they’re two to three times more expensive at the supermarket!
So for buying groceries, it’s best to go to the vegetable market!
She had known about a vegetable market not far from here before. If there was a place to buy groceries, why go to the supermarket?
With someone to help carry the groceries and Little Baby sweet-talking to help her bargain, Rong Yan rolled up her sleeves and selected a lot of fresh ingredients.
In addition to the green peppers that Duidui liked, she bought some tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, lotus roots, bean sprouts, and more.
She also casually bought a sea bass and a chicken.
She bought quite an assortment of fruits too, mangoes, oranges, small yogurts… As Rong Yan was buying, it belatedly dawned on her that someone’s hands were already full, and she awkwardly put back the cherry tomatoes she had taken a liking to, telling the vendor, “Never mind, I don’t want them.”
“You don’t want them? Today’s cherry tomatoes are very fresh, sweet, and delicious. Why don’t you take some home?”
Rong Yan waved her hand, determined not to take them, “No, thanks, we bought too much. How much is everything, in total?”
Seeing that she was firm in her decision, the vendor quickly calculated the total price for her and quoted an amount. Rong Yan hadn’t even had time to reach for her money when a note was already handed to the vendor in front of her, “The rest in cherry tomatoes she was choosing before!”
“No, I really don’t want them. Vendor, please give us our change,” Rong Yan hurriedly intercepted.
She only bought a few mangoes and oranges. If he gave so much money to the vendor just to then trade for cherry tomatoes, they would have to lug them all back home today.
Li Shengxiao frowned deeply, dissatisfied, “Don’t you want to eat them?”
How embarrassing. She did want to eat them, but she didn’t need to buy a whole box to take home!
Seeing his obstinate insistence on buying them for her, Rong Yan had no choice but to tell the vendor, “Please weigh a pound of cherry tomatoes for me. Don’t bother with the rest, just give me the remaining change.”
“Okay then.” The fruit vendor, seeing that he was able to sell a pound of cherry tomatoes in the blink of an eye, had a smile that spread across his face. He swiftly weighed the tomatoes and passed the goods to the tall man to carry, while handing the change to Rong Yan with an envious tone, “Lady, your husband is really good to you. I added a few extra cherry tomatoes for you, make sure to come back and support my business next time, okay?”
“Thank you.” Rong Yan automatically ignored the word ‘husband,’ only noting that the fruit vendor had said he gave her a few extra cherry tomatoes. She took the change with a grateful smile, completely oblivious to the man behind her whose eyes had suddenly deepened!
Yanyan…
After spending over half an hour in the vegetable market, Rong Yan finally managed to buy everything she had planned and returned to Dihor Garden with the big and the small.
Once home, she took on the role of a housemother with great alacrity, finding an apron to put on and washing her hands before calling out to the others, “I’ll start cooking. Shengxiao, help Duidui turn on the TV, and find him a cartoon. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Shengxiao’s gaze fixed intently on her homely appearance, his dark eyes inching over her as if to sear her image into his bones, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he murmured an “Mhm” in response. He picked up the remote control and switched on the living room’s large LED Blu-ray television.
