“Okay,” Xiaomai responded.
“What do you need grass paper for?” Tong Sanlang inquired.
Could it be for writing?
“Of course, it’s for wiping butts!” Dami answered as if it was a matter of course, then he eagerly asked, “Brother Tong, when your family goes to the toilet…”
“You can focus on eating your seeds,” Xiaomai raised her hand, covering his small mouth to make him swallow back the words he was about to say.
Discussing such matters while basking in the sunlight and surrounded by the grass is really a mood killer!
Tong Sanlang was silent.
He was a bit surprised.
It seems as if she’s changed her ways, even using grass paper now.
Although grass paper is rough, it’s not something ordinary families would typically use.
Dami obviously didn’t understand Xiaomai’s thoughts. Xiaomai told him to eat seeds, and he obediently did so, but couldn’t help speaking again, “Sister, didn’t you buy a copy of ‘Daqi Law’ last time? How come you haven’t taken it out to read?”
Speaking of grass paper, he inevitably thought of this. That was his first time entering a bookstore.
“… Because sister doesn’t know how to read.” Xiaomai responded.
She lifted her hand and pinched Dami’s cheek. This little brat, always speaking without filter!
All of her deepest secrets were let out in a few short sentences, even seeds couldn’t stop his mouth!
“You bought ‘Daqi Law’?” Tong Sanlang turned around, his handsome face and tone filled with surprise.
“Since Elder Tong mentioned ‘Daqi Law’ several times, I bought a copy to bring back. I worship it every day, using it as a talisman to protect our home.” Xiaomai quickly provided an explanation.
Tong Sanlang responded with an “Oh,” and looked ahead again.
However, his response sounded a bit profound in Xiaomai’s ears.
Xiaomai blinked, regretting agreeing to go to town together.
Dami was being too talkative!
“Sister, you…”
Just as Dami was about to say something, Xiaomai quickly interrupted him with a smile, “Dami, let me tell you about what Elder Tong will do at the birthday banquet, okay?”
“Okay.” Dami’s attention was diverted.
Thus, Xiaomai started reciting the menu for the banquet — everything she wanted to eat, a whole pig feast!
Dami was so engrossed he forgot his fleeting thoughts, and even Tong Sanlang was captivated.
However, he did not entirely lose focus and continued to observe Xiaomai.
The happiness in Xiaomai’s tone did not escape him. Someone who found joy in food would not likely stir up trouble…
However, this could also be an act put on by Xiaomai,
He should continue observing her cognitive.
They soon reached the town. Tong Sanlang, being considerate, drove them straight to the bookstore, saying, “Let’s buy the grass paper first.”
Xiaomai jumped down from the ox cart and let Dami stay on it, while she ran into the bookstore, quickly buying a stack of grass paper before returning.
Next, Tong Sanlang drove them to a pastry shop.
Xiaomai bought some sunflower seeds and some sugar cane.
Having bought these items, Tong Sanlang then drove the ox cart to the butcher shop.
The butcher stall was still busy with the morning markets, so Xiaomai and Dami stayed on the cart while Tong Sanlang went to buy the meat that Xiaomai had asked for.
Of course, he only bought part of it.
On one hand, buying too much would be wasteful, and on the other hand, if Xiaomai cooked everything at once, there would be no reason for them to meet again.
Before they left, he also bought two fish, and the three of them began their journey back home..
