The three of them entered the city, and Gu Chen directly took Ji Pianran to the Beiqiao Market.
She made an excuse to let her and Tangtang help her set up the stall, so that she could get away and go into the space to get the vegetables.
Ji Pianran nodded, and immediately found a seat with Tangtang in her arms and stood up.
Gu Chen found an unoccupied place and entered the space. In the space, the 20 broccoli plants were still growing at an impressive rate.
The most surprising thing was the wolfberries. After a night's time, they had all grown into half-man-high trees. The bright red, translucent fruits looked plump and round beneath the green leaves.
He picked one at random, threw it into his mouth and tasted it.
The rich, sweet flavour was superb!
However, Gu Chen did not rush to pick the fruit, but instead picked all the broccoli, put it in a nylon bag, and immediately disappeared from the space.
After all, Ji Pianran and Tang Tang were still waiting for him.
Although the time in the space was very different from the outside world, he still could not bear to make them wait too long.
After leaving the space, Gu Chen sighed.
Luckily, he had only planted twenty or so last night, otherwise he really couldn't have carried it.
He carried the full nylon bag and walked with difficulty to Ji Pianran's side.
Then he expertly took out the broccoli one by one and arranged it on the ground.
Tantan excitedly introduced Ji Pianran.
'Mommy, look, this is the vegetable that Daddy sells. We sell this every day!'
Ji Pianran looked at the broccoli on the ground, and suddenly remembered the first day Gu Chen said he was going to buy vegetables.
That morning, he had made broccoli.
It really tasted great.
But that day, because I was worried about Gu Tan, I forgot to mention it.
Now that all twenty-odd broccoli heads have been arranged, the number of people in front of the stall is gradually increasing.
'Oh dear, my child went to the neighbour's for dinner yesterday and said that the broccoli was delicious. My neighbour said that he bought it from you, so give me one.'
My child has always been a picky eater. Yesterday, something came up at work, so my child went to the neighbour's for dinner.
I heard that she really liked this new variety of broccoli, and even ate more rice than usual.
As a mother, I feel so bad for my child. Since my child likes it, I have to buy more no matter what!
So early in the morning, I went to the market to look for it.
Gu Chen smiled and asked, 'How much do you want?'
The woman laughed and said, 'The New Year's Eve is in three days, so I want more. I want two!'
Tang Tang saw that the woman was buying groceries again, so she hurriedly went to get a plastic bag.
Ji Pianran didn't want to let her child do the work, so she quickly took the bag from her hands and patted her on the head.
'Mommy will do it, sweetie. Just play for a while.'
Then she opened the bag and put the broccoli the woman had chosen into it before handing it to Gu Chen.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen placed it on the scales.
'Young man, give me one too. I bought two catties yesterday, and the taste really is not too good.'
'Yes, I bought some yesterday too. My child peeled it and ate it raw, saying it was even better than pears. I'll buy some more today.'
Everyone was chatting away while squatting on the ground picking vegetables, it was a lively scene.
Ji Pianran was also busy, hurrying to put the vegetables into bags as they were handed to her.
The couple worked in perfect harmony.
In less than an hour, all twenty cauliflower flowers on the ground were sold.
Gu Chen smiled and chuckled, and stuffed a plastic bag full of change into Ji Pianran's arms. 'Now you should believe me, it's really clean hard-earned money.'
Looking at the man in front of her, who looked like a big boy when he smiled,
Ji Pianran suddenly felt a little guilty. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, it was just that she was worried.
She was just scared.
Ji Pianran swallowed, "You've worked hard.'
Gu Chen smiled, "It's not hard work, it's just lucky.'
She was lucky to have been reborn, to have been able to catch up with her before she left, and lucky to be able to make things right.
As the two of them were talking, the middle-aged woman who had asked about embroidery the other day finally appeared in front of Gu Chen's stall.
When she saw Ji Pianran next to Gu Chen,
her eyebrows twitched.
Smiling, she exclaimed, 'Your wife is just too beautiful.'
Gu Chen laughed heartily, teasing her.
'That's right, my wife is definitely the most beautiful in the world!'
The middle-aged woman looked at Ji Pianran with a smile.
'Look at your husband, he's so good at talking. Unlike me, my husband can't stop looking at other people's wives.'
'You two must have a good relationship.'
Husband.
These two words sounded a little strange in Ji Pianran's ears.
But they were an indisputable fact.
She hastily used her hand to gather the stray hair between her ears, trying to hide the embarrassment.
The middle-aged woman was not at all surprised by Ji Pianran's strangeness.
With great enthusiasm, she took out a few photos from her bag, as well as two detailed embroidery diagrams, and handed them to Ji Pianran.
'Take a look, can you make this? The stitches on your husband's shoes are really beautiful, it makes my heart so excited.'
The middle-aged woman smiled wistfully.
Ji Bianran looked closely at the photos, which showed several beautiful cheongsams.
The patterns and colours were all different, but it was clear that the stitching and workmanship were extremely complex.
She then opened the two pattern pictures.
Indeed, they were truly extraordinary.
But that was fine, she was never afraid of difficulties.
Ji Bianran pursed her lips as she looked at the middle-aged woman, whose moist eyes shone with earnestness.
'How about this, I'll go back and have a look at it, is that okay?'
The middle-aged woman was so excited when she saw that Ji Pianran had agreed, that she couldn't contain her excitement, and she kept saying in her mouth, 'No problem, you go back and try to see if you can do it, and as for the price, we can talk about it.'
She really wanted to cooperate with Ji Pianran, and naturally she would not take a loss in terms of price.
Upon hearing this, Ji Bianran nodded, 'Okay, it looks like the pattern is quite large. How about this, in ten days, I'll have Gu Chen bring the pattern to you and see if it's possible.'
Embroidering such a large area would definitely take more than ten days.
Ji Bianran understood this, and the middle-aged woman understood it even more.
She nodded, 'Okay, then we have a deal!'
After saying this, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Ji Bianran.
'My practice methods are on there, so if you have any questions, we can communicate at any time.'
After the middle-aged woman left, Gu Chen took Ji Bianran and Tang Tang out of the mall.
He even paid for a rickshaw.
His wife and children rarely go out, so he wanted to take them shopping!
He wanted them to have a happy New Year!
On the way, Ji Pianran kept nervously clutching the money that Gu Chen had earned from grocery shopping that day.
She stuffed the money into the cloth bag she had brought with her, but still felt uneasy.
It was as if she was afraid someone would snatch it from her, so she clutched it tightly in her hand.
