Chapter 114: Buying Courgette

In the afternoon, Li Xin took Ling'er to shop for a few hours, purchasing a large number of materials, fabrics, jewelry and other necessities for relatives.

In the process of purchasing, I actually encountered a kind of fruit, which was called courgette in the store, because it came from outside the Saiwai, the place of the Hu people, of course, it was called courgette. This melon Li Xin naturally knows, that is, the cantaloupe we often eat, cantaloupe is not rare at all now, but at that time, the traffic was quite inconvenient, and of course it became very expensive to transport it to Tianhe Town.

Ling'er saw it for the first time, of course, it was very novel, and she wanted to buy it, but when she asked the price, it actually reached one tael of silver and one catty, this melon is generally about ten catties, and it costs ten taels of silver at once, she looked at the melon, and then looked at Li Xin, shook her head and prepared to walk away.

Seeing Ling'er's expression, Li Xin of course knew that Ling'er wanted to buy it, but he felt that it was too expensive and was reluctant to spend money. Li Xin said: "Ling'er, you can buy it if you want, you are the future lady, and what you have is money." ”

Ling'er looked surprised, but hesitated: "It's too expensive!" ”

Li Xin smiled. Said to the little two in the store: "Let's have the biggest one." ”

Most of this melon is unaffordable, can afford to eat and reluctant to buy, there are three in the store, sold for two months, Li Xin is still the first person to buy, the owner hurriedly came to greet Li Xin and the two, took a largest melon, a weighing, eighteen catties and three taels.

The boss erased the change and only received eighteen taels of silver.

When Ling'er heard that a courgette asked for eighteen taels of silver, she was secretly speechless, and she felt a little heartache for money, but Li Xin was willing to spend money for her, and she was very happy.

Many times, women like men to be generous, and many women choose to fall in love with this man because of this willingness, but after falling in love, they feel that generosity has become a shortcoming of this man. In fact, the fundamental reason is that a woman just likes men to be generous to her, and she doesn't like to be generous to others.

Li Xin followed Ling'er with a large bag and a small bag, thinking of the "Bangbang Army" of Chongqing's scenery in later generations, and now he is like "Bangbang", carrying things behind customers.

"Brother Xin, this courgette, it's actually not what I want to eat, of course it's okay to eat it, I mainly bought it for my mother." Ling'er said softly next to Li Xin.

The two have now confirmed their relationship, and it seems that it is okay to be called "Li Xin", but it is not yet that far. Therefore, Ling'er still chose to call Li Xin "Brother Xin" when she was a child.

Ling'er hasn't called Li Xin "Brother Xin" for a long time, and now when she hears it, she can't help but think of the scene when she was a child, when Li Xin had just crossed over, and was still trying to adapt to a new life. I can't help but laugh when I think about it.

"Mother? Mother knows courgette? Li Xin was a little surprised.

"Yes, when the two of us were together, my mother often told me the story of him and your father, and she said that once, when they had just met, your father brought her a gift, which was a courgette. Mother is still, that kind of melon is very expensive, but your father still bought it for the sake of your mother. When my mother said this, she smiled happily. So, when I saw this melon just now, I wanted to buy one for my mother to make her happy. Ling'er said.

"Ling'er, you are so sensible!" Li Xin praised.

"Hmph, I'm already sensible, I don't need you to praise me, hehe." Ling'er said with a smile.

Walking through the melting snow, the two walked towards the Hu Kee Tavern.
