Chapter 63: Poor Child
"Hello comrade, can you please help me see if I have these things?"

Chen Hui noticed that this was a place selling daily groceries, and quickly took out the list and handed it to her.

"Red paper, red rope, water cup."

"We don't have sugar, but we have everything else. Please wait a moment." The salesperson nodded and called another person to join.

Soon, everything Chen Hui wanted was obtained.

"Shall I leave my stuff here and come get it when I leave?"

Chen Hui paid the money. There weren't many things, so it was a bit troublesome to carry them.

"Okay, then I'll put it in this corner for you, don't forget it." The salesperson put the things away and pointed to the location for Chen Hui to see.

"Brother-in-law, when are we going to buy candy?!" An Wenyi asked in a low voice.

"Whenever I come across a candy store, I buy candy."

"If it's not available here, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it later. Don't worry, I'll definitely buy it for you."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he stretched his neck and looked forward.

I didn't see anyone selling candy or cakes, but I did see someone selling clothes.

I bought two new sets of clothes for An Wenjing to carry as her dowry on her wedding day, and I also bought a set for An Wenyi.

Passing by a shoe store, Chen Hui stopped.

"Brother Chen Hui, are you leaving?!" An Wenjing had already taken several steps and turned back to ask.

"Look at that pair of shoes. Do they look nice? Are they suitable for a wedding?!"

Chen Hui pointed at a pair of high heels.

Bright red, with thick heels, and about four or five centimeters high.

Even if you have never worn high heels, you can easily wear this kind of shoes.

"Do it!"

An Wenjing refused, but her eyes couldn't help but linger on the shoes.

"Buy a pair, since we're getting married." said Chen Hui.

"No, no, people will talk about it!"

A lot of people will come to the house on the wedding day.

An Wenjing imagined the atmosphere in the village and her mind became much clearer. She shook her head and pulled Chen Hui away.

"What are you afraid of? Just treat them as farts!"

"If you're really embarrassed, just buy a pair and wear them at home for me to see."

Chen Hui could see that An Wenjing actually liked this pair of shoes very much.

The reason I said I wouldn't buy it was not only because I was afraid of wasting money, but mainly because I didn't want to attract gossip from the villagers.

"Really? This is possible?!"

"Would you think I'm wasting money and not able to make a living?"

An Wenjing was persuaded and looked at the shoes with sparkling eyes.

"I asked you to buy it, how could I think like that? Let's go! Try it!"

Chen Hui pulled An Wenjing into the store and shouted, "Excuse me, do you have size 36 of this pair of shoes?"

The salesperson was gossiping with the guy next door at the store entrance.

He looked back at An Wenjing and said casually, "This one on the shelf is size 36, try it."

"Brother Chen Hui, how do you know what size shoes I wear?!" An Wenjing asked in surprise.

"Well, I see your shoes are very old. I noticed them yesterday morning."

"I'll buy you another pair for daily wear later."

Chen Hui was startled and smiled awkwardly. He quickly found the most reasonable explanation and gave the shoes on the shelf to An Wenjing.

The code is just right.

Although it's only four or five centimeters, An Wenjing still looks taller when she wears the shoes.

"Try taking two steps." Chen Hui encouraged.

An Wenjing nodded, pulled her trouser legs higher, looked down at her shoes, and walked forward a few steps carefully.

Then he looked up and walked around the store. "Wow! Sister is so pretty!"

"I want to get married too! I can buy such beautiful shoes for my wedding!" An Wenyi clapped his hands and danced around An Wenjing.

"Do you want it?"

The salesperson was disturbed, turned around and asked with a frown.

"Yes, and get a pair of size 36 sports shoes." Chen Hui said, pointing to another pair of shoes in the store.

"Want two pairs? I'll get them for you."

I heard that you wanted to buy them, and I bought two pairs at once.

The salesperson's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

He found the right size, packed both pairs of shoes, and handed them to An Wenjing with a smile on his face.

"They look so good, sister! Can you let me take another look at your shoes?" An Wenyi lay beside the bag and looked at it.

"Buy a pair for Wen Yi as well." Chen Hui pointed at An Wen Yi's feet.

The shoes on her feet were too short. The back of the shoes could not fit into them, so she had to wear them as slippers, with half of her heels outside the shoes.

"Really?! Buy me a pair too?!"

An Wenyi immediately grasped the key words and looked up at Chen Hui.

The little person looks completely surrounded by surprise, which makes people feel a little distressed.

"I'll buy you two pairs too, let's go!"

Chen Hui took An Wenyi over, asked a few people, and found a store that sold children's shoes.

A pair of cloth shoes and a pair of sandals.

An Wenyi held it in his hands carefully and looked at it several times like a treasure.

She looked up and said, "Brother-in-law! I won't buy bunny candies anymore. I won't buy bunny candies anymore."

"Then I won't buy anything specifically for you in the future. But I will still share some with you whenever I buy something." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Really?!"

After buying the shoes, Chen Hui went to the second floor to look around and asked people.

There is no place selling sugar cakes in the department store. If you want to buy sugar, you still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative or sugar cake shop.

Chen Hui took the two sisters to the earliest store to get some things, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two kilograms of White Rabbit candies and three kilograms of assorted candies.

Calculating that it was almost time, I rode my bike back to Chen Hui's house and put down my scattered things.

Then he took An Wenjing's new clothes and new shoes to her home.

An Wenyi insisted on getting new clothes and new shoes for herself.

He walked slower with a bag in one hand, and shouted anxiously, "Wait for me! Wait for me!"

"You, can't I hold it for you?"

An Wenjing helplessly handed everything in her hand to Chen Hui, picked up An Wenyi and walked back.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, An Wenyi twisted his body and tried to get down.

After landing, he went straight into the house carrying big and small bags. The sweet potato rice in the kitchen was already steamed, but no one came out.

"Let me see what this little brat is doing." Chen Hui added some dry branches to the stove.

He dusted off his hands, stood up and went to take a look secretly.

I saw An Wenyi spread her clothes neatly on the bed, and two pairs of shoes were also placed neatly on the bed.

An Wenyi held one in both hands and rubbed it on his little face.

She said to the shoes tenderly: "Little shoes, I like you so much."

Then he put the shoe back and stroked the other shoe, mumbling something.

Chen Hui found it funny, so he went back to continue making the fire and told An Wenjing about the scene.

"This is the first time Wen Yi has had new shoes. She has worn other people's shoes that were too short since she was little."

"New clothes are only available during the Chinese New Year. This is also the first time she has brand new summer clothes."

Speaking of this younger sister, An Wenjing couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
