Chapter 89

The next morning Shi Qinghuan came downstairs, and then she saw Wang Ailan standing not far away with a pannier on her back waiting for her, so she walked up to Wang Ailan and said, "Aunt Wang, I'm here."

After hearing what Shi Qinghuan said, Wang Ailan turned around and looked at Shi Qinghuan, and then she asked Shi Qinghuan, "Why didn't you bring a pan or basket?"

"I don't have a pannier, and the basket at home is too small to hold anything, so I'm going to the market to buy a pannier."

Wang Ailan nodded after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then said: "The market is a bit far away from us, and it takes more than half an hour to walk, so let's go."

"Is there no bullock cart?"

"Yes, but when the bullock cart arrives, our place is already full, so we can't get a seat at all."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, she and Wang Ailan walked towards the outside of the research institute.

When they walked out of the research institute, they just saw an ox cart passing by them, and there was still space in that ox cart, so Shi Qinghuan hurriedly chased after that ox cart.

While chasing it back, she shouted to the man driving the bullock cart: "Wait, comrade, wait."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Daniu stopped the ox cart, then turned his head to look at Shi Qinghuan. When he saw Shi Qinghuan's appearance, his face immediately turned red.

Then he stammered and asked Qing Huan, "You...what do you call me?"

"May I take your ox cart to the market?"

"Yes, yes, but this ox cart belongs to the village, and you need to pay five cents for it."

"No problem." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, she took out a dime from her bag and handed it to Wang Daniu.

Then she yelled to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, come and take the bullock cart, this comrade is willing to give us a ride."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Ailan immediately quickened her pace and walked towards Shi Qinghuan. When she walked in front of Shi Qinghuan, she thanked Wang Daniu, and then got into the bullock cart with Shi Qinghuan.

After more than 20 minutes, the bullock cart stopped at the entrance of the market. Shi Qinghuan jumped off the bullock cart and asked Wang Daniu, "Comrade, what time do you go back?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Then can I take your ox cart back in the afternoon?"

"When...of course you can."

After Shi Qinghuan heard Wang Daniu's answer, she was immediately happy. It seemed that she was lucky today, so she thanked Wang Daniu and walked towards the market with Wang Ailan.

When she entered the bazaar, she felt that her eyes could not see enough, because there were too many things for sale in the bazaar, and there were so many types, she was dazzled and didn't know what to buy.

"Huanhuan, there are backpacks for sale over there, hurry up and buy one." Wang Ailan saw a stall selling backpacks not far away, and said to the waiter Qinghuan.

After hearing Wang Ailan's words, Shi Qinghuan said hello, and then she walked towards the stall selling backpacks.

When she came to the stall selling the backpack, she asked the stall owner, "My fellow, how do you sell this backpack?"

"Twenty cents each, and I'll send you a basket."

After Shi Qinghuan heard the price quoted by the stall owner, she felt that the price was quite appropriate, so she took out [-] cents from her bag and handed it to the stall owner.

Then she picked out a pannier and a basket that looked more pleasing to the eye, and left the booth with them, walking towards Wang Ailan.

When she walked up to Wang Ailan, she put the pannier on her back, and said to Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, I've already bought the pannier, we can go shopping now."

Wang Ailan nodded after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then she and Shi Qinghuan walked forward together.
