Chapter 94: 94 Bun Exchange

Chapter 94: 94 Bun Exchange

Ever since this woman came, the quality of food and daily necessities at home has indeed improved significantly.

But she hasn't shown any concern for clothing.

The family hasn't bought new clothes in a long time, and with her bathing every day, her clothes wear out quickly. Some parts have become worn without her even noticing.

His mother occasionally helps to mend them, but her inspections aren't thorough.

Also, over the past month, she's lost quite a bit of weight.

Her current clothes hang loosely on her, yet she doesn't seem to care at all.

Well, he was planning to buy clothes for the family anyway, so he might as well include this woman.

"May I know your measurements?" the shopkeeper asked promptly.

A purchase for the whole family would mean a substantial profit.

Song Que furrowed his brows slightly.

"I haven't measured her beforehand. Can you estimate based on her height and build?" he asked.

"It's possible, but there might be some discrepancies."

Song Que smiled.

"That's fine."

He then relayed the heights and body types of everyone in the family except Qin Xiaoyao to the shopkeeper.

After finishing, Song Que turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao beside him.

This made Qin Xiaoyao blush again.

"Cough, tell the shopkeeper yourself," he said to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

She realized that her handsome husband was going to buy fabric for her too.

Her already restless heart stirred once more.

The shopkeeper smiled at Qin Xiaoyao.

"The measurements for this lady can be taken on the spot," he said, "I have a measuring tape here."

From Qin Xiaoyao's attire, he could tell that this woman hadn't bought new clothes in a while.

Given that her current clothes were loose, her previous measurements wouldn't be accurate.

"Oh, okay," Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly agreed.

Busy making money at home and working tirelessly every day, she didn't pay much attention to what she wore.

But since her handsome husband wanted to buy fabric for her, she naturally had to accept it.

However, Song Que turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao and frowned.

Seeing the shopkeeper take out the measuring tape, he unexpectedly held out his hand to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, guide me from the side; I'll measure her," he said.

The shopkeeper was taken aback.

His gaze swept between the two of them, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

He handed the measuring tape to Song Que.

He had been speculating about the relationship between the two because their appearances didn't match. Despite seeing their intimate gestures, he hadn't dared to guess recklessly.

Now it seemed that they were indeed a married couple.

Ah, what a pity that such a handsome husband ended up with this wife.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't notice the shopkeeper's thoughts. At this moment, her body was almost rigid.

Because her handsome husband was using the measuring tape to take her measurements.

His hands were against her body, and due to the close proximity, she could even feel her handsome husband's breath.

She felt her face burning hot.

She couldn't bear it, she just couldn't...

Fortunately, after a while, the sweet torture finally ended.

Song Que returned the measuring tape to the shopkeeper.

Then, he glanced sideways at Qin Xiaoyao.

Seeing the woman's flushed face, he unexpectedly found himself in a good mood.

The shopkeeper took back the measuring tape and, without paying attention to the two of them, picked up a pen and began calculating.

After estimating the amount of fabric needed, he informed Song Que.

Song Que asked about the price and was ready to agree.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly approached the shopkeeper to haggle over the price.

After some bargaining, he finally agreed to cut the cloth.

Seeing the shopkeeper's helpless expression and Qin Xiaoyao's delighted face, Song Que's heart stirred slightly.

A while later, the shopkeeper finished measuring the fabric.

Qin Xiaoyao took out his money pouch to pay, then left the cloth store with the fabric in hand, supporting Song Que.

Then they continued on their way, pushing the wooden cart.

"Let's go to the general store and buy a pair of shoes for each family member," Song Que suddenly said.

Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

Thinking about how everyone at home was currently wearing straw shoes, he felt that his husband had thoughtfully considered everything, and quickly agreed.

Thus, he pushed Song Que towards the familiar general store he knew.

Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyao's stomach growled loudly, and it happened several times in a row.

Only then did she feel hungry.

Meeting Song Que's gaze, Qin Xiaoyao felt somewhat embarrassed.

But she quickly said, "I almost forgot, I bought some steamed buns in Nan City!"

"If you're hungry, you can eat them first to fill your stomach."

"They're in the second basket next to you, just take the package on the left!"

Song Que then shifted his gaze from Qin Xiaoyao.

He proceeded to retrieve the buns.

Following Qin Xiaoyao's instructions, he took the bun package on the left.

Then he opened the oiled paper and took out a bun to eat.

Discovering that it was meat-filled, a hint of pleasure colored his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao swallowed her saliva, and a smile spread across her face.

But immediately after, she saw Song Que looking up at her.

Her expression froze.

"Stop and rest for a bit." Then, she heard Song Que say.

Almost instantly, Qin Xiaoyao automatically chose to follow the command and put down the wooden cart.

"They're not completely cold yet, come over and have one." Immediately after, Song Que said.

Qin Xiaoyao's heart stirred, and she once again chose to listen.

But when Song Que handed her the large package of buns wrapped in oiled paper, she quickly came to her senses and refused.

Then she smiled and took another package of buns out of the basket.

"I'll have this one," she said with a smile.

Then, ignoring Song Que's somewhat sullen expression, she opened the oiled paper package and took out a bun to eat.

Song Que, who was originally somewhat annoyed, was startled when he saw that Qin Xiaoyao had bitten into a vegetarian filling.

Then his annoyance disappeared, and he gave Qin Xiaoyao a peculiar look.

Next, when Qin Xiaoyao was about to take a second vegetarian bun to eat, Song Que promptly stopped her.

"Eat this package," he said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

"I said, eat this package!" Song Que repeated, raising his voice slightly.

Qin Xiaoyao hesitated.

Until she saw Song Que frown, she extended her hand.

"Give me that package!" Then, Song Que said.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the vegetarian bun in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the vegetarian buns to Song Que.

Song Que took them, without looking at Qin Xiaoyao again, took out a vegetarian bun, and continued eating.

Qin Xiaoyao's heart stirred.

Just as she was moved, she heard Song Que say, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat, we still have to go to the general store to buy shoes!"

"Uh-huh." Responding in a dull tone, Qin Xiaoyao then took the meat bun to eat.

After eating two more buns and feeling comfortable in her stomach, Qin Xiaoyao rewrapped the oiled paper and put the buns back in the basket.

Song Que glanced at Qin Xiaoyao before allowing her to continue on their journey.

Then, the two went to the general store and bought five pairs of shoes.

Qin Xiaoyao had woven straw shoes for all the family members before, so he remembered the sizes clearly, making the shoe selection process rather simple.
