When Su Nuo heard Gu Chenglan ask about lanterns, her eyes darkened, and she said softly: "We won't hang lanterns at home this year. Because..."
Needless to say what follows, I believe Gu Chenglan already understands.
After Gu Chenglan understood, his expression was a little unnatural, and he came over and pinched Suno's fingertips gently, "I'm sorry, I don't understand this. I have never encountered such a thing."
"Yeah, it's okay." Su Nuo responded softly.
"Let's go buy some more things." Gu Chenglan pulled Su Nuo and walked out. As he walked, he said toward the house: "Auntie, Xiao Nuo and I are going shopping. We don't have to wait for lunch."
"Where are you going?" Su's mother came out with a basin: "We don't lack anything at home, so don't buy anything. Don't eat out at noon either. Auntie is preparing to make bean buns. The bean fillings are all ready. They're so sweet. .”
"Okay, let's come back for lunch." Gu Chenglan said with a smile, "Buy some fresh food, just to be fresh during the New Year."
Su’s mother kept shouting, telling Gu Chenglan not to spend money randomly.
But Gu Chenglan smiled and said "it's okay" and pulled Suno out.
"I really have enough stuff at home, I don't need to buy any more." Su Nuo didn't want Gu Chenglan to spend money.
The Su family has indeed prepared enough things this year, because the dessert shop is doing well, making more money, and living better than in previous years.
Gu Chenglan didn't listen and just waved for a taxi when he got out of the alley.
"Take the bus." Su Nuo held Gu Chenglan's thumb tightly and pressed his hand down: "This is not how you spend money."
"Okay, take the bus, buy something and then take a taxi back." Gu Chenglan finally stopped being stubborn and went to the bus stop with Suno.
It is estimated that everyone’s New Year’s goods have been prepared, so not many people are going out. The two of them got on the bus and both had seats.
Sitting on the double seat in the last row, Su Nuo remembered to ask Gu Chenglan: "Where are we going?"
"How do I know?" Gu Chenglan looked innocent and helpless: "You said you would take the bus, so I got on the bus. But I don't know if I got to where I wanted to go."
"You..." Su Nuo was so angry at Gu Chenglan that she glared at him and asked, "Then what do you want to buy?"
“I won’t tell you.” Gu Chenglan pinched the tip of Su Nuo’s nose, “Don’t think I’ve never taken a bus. Don’t worry, I’ve seen the stop sign, that’s right.”
Gu Chenglan didn't say anything, so Su Nuo could only follow him honestly.
However, the two of them chatted all the way in the car, so they didn't feel slow at all.
It wasn't until they were almost at the terminal that Su Nuo reacted: "Gu Chenglan, what are you doing at the seafood market?"
"Purchasing." Gu Chenglan pulled Suno out of the car and plunged into the seafood market.
The variety of seafood markets in this era was also relatively poor. The most popular products were quick-frozen hairtail and yellow croaker, and the shrimps were not very big.
There are also large prawns and sea crabs, but there are only two in the whole seafood market, and the prices are extremely expensive.
Gu Chenglan didn't care about the price, he only picked the biggest and freshest ones, and asked the boss to bring him a box of large prawns and ten sea crabs.
"That's not how you spend your money." Su Nuo stopped him quickly: "One pound of prawns is enough. One crab per person, six of them are enough to eat."
"Buy, buy, buy. How can I spend nothing during the Chinese New Year?" Gu Chenglan took out the money and shouted to the boss: "Please pick the best one for me. I am going to my mother-in-law's house to give gifts."
