Chapter 28: It’s a Small Matter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was the first time Xiaoxiao had left home after she came to this world. She had been excited all night and had woken up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. At this moment, she was a little tired. Soon, she went from sitting on the cart to lying down. Not long after, her breathing gradually slowed down.

Ning Erlang was a little embarrassed. Ning Dalang carefully removed a small rag blanket from his bag and covered her with it. Ning Erlang was extremely impressed. “I wondered why you carried such a big bag before you left. It was prepared for her.”

Listening to the two brothers whispering behind him, Rong Yan also instructed Yun Yi to pull the car slower and more steadily.

He had brought a spare set of clothes, which was inappropriate for him and Xiaoxiao. Even if the rules in the countryside were not serious, it was still inappropriate. Hence, he walked to Yun Yi’s side and let him walk under the sun as much as possible.

This way, it would be warmer and less likely to catch a cold.

Although he could not accept Xiaoxiao’s love, she was a good chef and girl. It was fine to take care of her when he could.

By the time Xiaoxiao woke up, they were already waiting to enter the county. The bustling scene in front of her quickly dispelled the awkwardness she had been feeling from sleeping. With two or three people in front of her, she saw the bun shop and wonton stall at the gate.

The guards guarding the city went through their routine. Xiaoxiao and the others were let in after a few casual questions, but a young master with a servant behind them was asked for a long time.

Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn’t control herself anymore. She was looking at the food. The next moment, she was looking at the other foods. When she passed by the restaurant, she was about to step into it to take a look. Ning Erlang felt so embarrassed that he grabbed and stopped her from running around.

Ning Dalang didn’t care. He was happy to see his sister happy, but his gaze occasionally lingered on a certain place. Xiaoxiao turned around and saw it, so she silently remembered this shop.

The restaurant where Rong Yan and the others were going to deliver their prey was nearby. Ning Dalang simply greeted them and moved his jar down. They arranged a time and place to gather later and then parted ways.

After separating, he said sternly and began to lecture his younger brother. “You shouldn’t have said those things in front of outsiders just now. You’ll affect Xiaoxiao’s reputation.”

Ning Erlang knew that he was wrong. As soon as he finished speaking, he began to regret it. He was just too excited to go out and couldn’t control himself. However, he didn’t expect that not only did his sister not remind him, but she even followed his words and said more than him!

Xiaoxiao waved her hand generously. “It doesn’t matter. It’s just a small matter. Anyway, he doesn’t look like a gossipy person. He won’t tell anyone even if he hears our words.”

Ning Dalang was worried but could not stand his sister’s teasing and cute acting. He quickly let it go.

Xiaoxiao decided to go to the market with her brothers to find a place to set up a stall. After all, the embroidery shop was always there, but the stalls in the market would not wait for anyone. They had set off early, but most of the breakfast shops in the county had already opened. What if there were no good seats if they were delayed for a while?

When they arrived at the place, they realized how right their decision was. The place approved as a bazaar was almost filled with people. Not to mention a good seat. If they had come a little later, they would not even have a seat in the corner.

Xiaoxiao squeezed into a stall selling noodles. The stall owner thought they were here to eat and asked enthusiastically, “Sir, what would you like to eat?”

Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang were a little embarrassed, but Xiaoxiao did not feel uncomfortable. She looked at the stall owner with an innocent expression. “Uncle, we’re not here to eat. May I ask if there’s anyone else setting up a stall beside you?”
