Chapter 260 He is the cannon fodder control group (16)
Cuihua is an old cow, but she is still strong. There are very few households in the village that own cows, so the existence of this old cow, Cuihua, is quite important.
It was also very powerful, and it took Si Cen and the other two to reach the county town in just two hours and a quarter.
"You two are going to buy a lot of things today, right? I'll be waiting for you under the tree in front. Don't worry, we'll go back after we've bought everything." After eating a big meat pie from Gu Yao, Zhao Laowu was not as stingy as usual and generously said that he could wait as long as he wanted.
But in fact, Gu Yao gave him thirty copper coins today to ask him to recruit them specifically, and he was more considering the copper coins.
Si Cen didn't know this and thought that the Zhao uncle was pretty nice. When he left with Gu Yao, he whispered to Gu Yao to remember to buy some delicious food for Uncle Wu during lunch later.
Gu Yao naturally wouldn't tell him that he had booked the ox cart specifically for him, so he nodded in agreement.
The county town here doesn't look very prosperous. In the eyes of Si Cen, who is used to seeing all kinds of fairy-like or golden cities in the world of cultivation, or the prosperous cities with tall buildings in the modern world, it can even be called shabby.
But because Gu Yao was with him and he had to buy wedding supplies, he was still very excited.
Gu Yao's first goal was to take him directly to a clothing store, where she bought him two sets of winter clothes, cotton shoes, and two sets of clothes, shoes and socks that could be worn in spring and autumn. The guys in the clothing store laughed so hard that their teeth were showing. They kept praising Gu Yao for being a woman who doted on her husband, and for being a blessed man.
This was a serious matter. Gu Yao almost wanted to buy him two more sets on the spot, but was dragged away by Si Cen.
"Why are you so gullible? Do you believe everything he says? His clothes look just so-so, there's no need to spend so much money!"
Si Cen really feels sorry for Tu Tu’s money.
In the previous worlds, Tutu was either the president or the strongest human being. He had no shortage of money, so of course he wouldn't feel sorry for it.
But now Tutu is a poor hunter, living in a shabby thatched mud house. Every penny he earns is hard-earned money after risking his life in the mountains. He can't bear to see Tutu squander it.
Gu Yao lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who was frowning and scolding him seriously, as if he was afraid that he would spend more money. He felt very soft-hearted.
"He's right."
Si Cen: “Huh?”
"Man Ge'er is a blessed man."
Si Cen: ...
Is that all?
"Okay, okay, I really only have enough to wear. Let's go buy something else quickly."
Then Gu Yao pulled Si Cen into another store, letting Cen Cen experience how he spent money like water.
He bought the best mattresses and quilts in the store, and did not choose the most suitable sheets and pillows, but only the most expensive ones. Si Cen could not stop him, and in the end, they were torn to pieces.
After buying the daily necessities, I went to a candy and snack shop and bought a lot of things, mainly for the wedding and banquet.
There are also oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, melon seeds, peanuts and dried fruits to be supplemented...
The backpack was full and he was carrying a lot of things in his hands, but Gu Yao didn't let Si Cen get involved at all.
Si Cen insisted on helping, so Gu Yao finally stuffed a bag of snacks into his mouth, saying, "Just help me get this. This is heavy, you can eat some to lighten the load."
Si Cen felt that in Gu Santu's mind, he might be considered as edible waste.
"Have you finished shopping? Let's go eat something, bring some for Uncle Wu, and then go home."
We can’t let Tutu continue to squander money!
Gu Yao turned his head and looked towards a store. Before Si Cen could say anything, Gu Yao had already walked over and said, "Buy a little at the end."
Si Cen: ...
"Hey, are you here to pick out jewelry for your husband? Please come in. Our store has just received a batch of new jewelry from the capital. Everything is the newest and best-looking. I guarantee your husband will like it!"
As soon as the clerk in the jewelry store saw Gu Yao's bags, he knew that this must be someone who was planning to get married. He could afford the money and was willing to spend it, so his attitude was very enthusiastic.
"What does this guest want to choose for her husband?"
Gu Yao turned his head and looked at Si Cen, "What do you like?"
The guy then realized that he had asked the wrong person. Oh, it seemed that the newlyweds were talking to the husband.
He immediately adjusted his strategy cleverly, and smiled at Si Cen, "Look over here, my husband. Everything displayed here is new."
Si Cen was already convinced by Gu Yao's enthusiasm for spending money on shopping for him, so he gave up struggling and followed the clerk to a counter, listening to him working hard to sell one piece of jewelry after another.
According to Si Cen's opinion, there was nothing he particularly liked here, but in order not to disappoint Tu Tu's kindness, he happily chose a silver hairpin.
"How about this jade one? My dear, look at how clever this jade hairpin is. It suits your complexion so well. I saw you looked at it several times just now, which means it suits your taste."
A silver hairpin only costs a few taels of silver, and it is the simplest silver hairpin. The jade hairpin is different. The carving and shape are exquisite, and the quality and water content of the jade are also excellent. It is much more expensive, so the waiter naturally strongly recommended it.
"We want this silver hairpin. Why don't you sell it to us? If not, we'll leave."
Si Cen was a little annoyed.
The clerk's face changed and he quickly said, "Sell, sell, sell."
Si Cen nodded his chin towards Gu Yao, indicating that he should pay.
Gu Yao paid and was dragged away by Si Cen. When the waiter shouted "Come again next time" behind him, Si Cen muttered, "What kind of jewelry store doesn't even have a wedding ring? Bad review."
He spoke in a very low and unclear voice, thinking that Gu Yao couldn't hear him.
Gu Yao glanced at him, but he didn't notice.
"Can we go home now?"
Gu Yao liked hearing the little brother say the word "go home" to him, and his mood became much better.
However, they had just taken a few steps when they ran into an acquaintance.
"Brother Man? What a coincidence, I actually run into you here."
Hearing this pretentious voice, Si Cen raised his eyes and saw Si Qing standing in front of him, and standing next to him was Gu Hefeng.
Not only that, Si Cen discovered that although Si Qing seemed to be greeting him, all his attention was on Gu Yao beside him.
How can one describe the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yao? Three parts anger, three parts resentment, and four parts unwillingness.
In short, a pie-shaped statistical chart can be formed.
"Are you... here to buy jewelry? You didn't buy anything?" Si Qing's gaze fell on Si Cen's hand, which was only holding a bag of snacks. He looked at him from head to toe, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
He said he definitely didn't buy it, because a lame man was so poor and stingy, how could he possibly buy jewelry for his husband.
When he woke up early this morning, he felt upset about the chaos at home, so he sneaked out to relax. Unexpectedly, he heard everyone talking about the hunter taking the man he picked up from the river and renting Zhao Laowu's ox cart to the county town.
Si Qing subconsciously hid aside and eavesdropped. He heard someone ask Gu Dazhu's wife what they were doing. Gu Dazhu's wife Aunt Zhao said loudly, "Of course we are going to buy things for the wedding. Gu Xiaozi also said that even if time is tight, we must not let Man Ge'er down. We must buy everything for him."
After hearing this, Si Qing felt sour and thought Aunt Zhao was bragging.
How is that possible? The lame guy was so poor and stingy. When I married him in my previous life, he didn't buy anything for me, not even a wedding banquet.
He didn't believe that the lame man's life would change after marrying Si Cen!
