Early in the morning, Yu Songyu took Li Xiuzhen to the town. It was the day for making the house payment, as well as the day they had arranged to pick up their goods.
Upon arriving in the town, Yu Songyu first checked the items on their shopping list at a small courtyard before heading to the landlord's house, Old Lady.
Seeing Yu Songyu arrive, Old Lady seemed unfazed and greeted them with a warm smile as she invited them inside.
"Aunt, I've brought the money!"
"Come in, come in! Did we get everything we needed?"
Old Lady appeared more interested in the items than in the money itself.
"Yes, I brought it all. If you're not busy right now, would you like to come with me?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Old Lady handed the property deed to Yu Songyu, slipped on her shoes, and stepped out with quick little strides, moving surprisingly fast.
Yu Songyu and Li Xiuzhen followed her closely on either side, worried she might trip and fall.
"Aunt, please take it slow!"
The sound of Old Lady's tiny feet crunching on the snow sent shivers down Yu Songyu and Li Xiuzhen's spines.
"It's fine, it's fine!"
In no time, the three of them entered the small courtyard. Yu Songyu didn’t hesitate and directly opened the door to where she stored the goods.
"Oh my goodness!"
Seeing the pile of goods stacked like a small mountain inside, even Old Lady, who had seen a lot in her life, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It wasn't just that there was so much; it was astonishing how this girl managed to gather so many items in such circumstances.
In addition to rice, flour, oil, and other daily necessities, there were also many colorful items piled nearby, with vivid patterns on their bags.
"So much?"
Old Lady stepped into the room and kept her eyes glued to that mountain of goods.
"Where did all this come from? What is this?"
She asked herself as she picked up a bag from the ground.
"Aunt, these are all things I got through friends from the south. This is Milk Powder; this one with a picture of a cow is Milk Powder!"
"Oh, now I understand, this is Goat Milk Powder!" The Old Lady picked up a packet of Goat Milk Powder and pointed at the Yang Head on the label.
"Aunt, you’re really clever; that’s Camel Milk!"
"What about this? Why is this Milk Powder still hard?" The Old Lady picked up a packet of Nougat, turning it over and over, looking puzzled as she glanced at Yu Songyu.
"Aunt, this Nougat is really sweet; you should try it!" Yu Songyu said as she took the Nougat from her aunt's hand, opened the package, and popped a piece into the Old Lady's mouth.
"This candy is so sweet! It even has peanuts and almonds inside?" The Old Lady looked satisfied; she usually enjoyed a bit of sweetness.
Just then, Yu Songyu suddenly heard a gurgling sound beside her. It was her fault for being careless; she had forgotten that Li Xiuzhen was still following behind, and the poor child was practically drooling.
She laughed and unwrapped another piece, turning to feed it to Li Xiuzhen.
Now the girl was happy, her face lit up with a simple beauty.
"Aunt, I bought the Ma Hua you wanted. I wasn’t sure which flavor you liked, so I got a bit of each—this one is Yogurt flavor, and this one is purple sweet potato..."
Before Yu Songyu could finish her sentence, the Old Lady interrupted.
"Wait a minute, girl, did you say Yogurt? What is Yogurt?"
"Uh, Yogurt is made from fermented milk; it has a slightly sour taste and is good for our stomachs; it promotes digestion," Yu Songyu explained.
The Old Lady didn’t quite grasp everything Yu Songyu said, but she understood the last part: it was food, and she definitely wanted it.
