Kapitel 39: Thirty-nine As long as you have money, you can eat dumplings every day!_1

Ji Pianran was extremely delighted and immediately clutched the corner of her clothes, nodding excitedly.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"

Aunt Zhang waved her hand dismissively, "Pshaw, it's nothing!"

...

The two chatted about this and that all afternoon.

By now, Gu Chen had reached the entrance of the village.

He happened upon a beef seller and casually bought two pounds.

Today had been quite fruitful; new clothes and new bedding had all been bought.

Gu Chen decided it was time for dumplings!

He took out all the bedding he had bought from the storage space.

With meat in his left hand and all the bedding hoisted onto his right shoulder, he walked home with his head down.

It was already dark. Aunt Zhang glanced at the sky and noted it was getting late; she still needed to go home and cook.

She stood up and patted her backside.

"Pian Ran, it's getting late. I should head back now. I still have to cook."
