Chapter 943: How Old Are You?
He Nan was paying while he said, "Those who aren’t married are still kids."
He handed the money to the store owner and then took the lantern, his tone indulgent, "Hang two by your door, and two more at the main entrance."
As soon as she heard they were for the front door, Shen Mianmian quickly said, "Then should we buy four more? Hang two by the kitchen door, and two by Xiaoxi’s door."
He Nan didn’t object and asked the shopkeeper for four more. The shopkeeper was very happy and, while fetching them, said, "Have you bought Spring Festival couplets yet? Do you want to get them together? I’ll sell for one more day and then I’m also preparing to go back home for the New Year. If you don’t buy now, there won’t be any left."
Hearing this, He Nan said, "Then let’s take a set!"
Seeing how readily he bought things, the shopkeeper began to recommend other items. He Nan seemed to find it interesting and bought them at once. To Shen Mianmian, many of the items seemed like the kind you would only buy if there were children at home.
For the first time, she discovered that although Big Brother He didn’t usually spend much on shopping, when he actually went out to buy things, he was quite the spender, buying whatever was suggested without much thought.
Before long, they had bought a pile of items. Shen Mianmian felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly said, "Big Brother He, we have enough stuff now, don’t buy anymore, please. I still want to walk further ahead but we won’t be able to carry all this."
He Nan glanced at the packed items, which were indeed quite a lot, but he wasn’t worried about not being able to carry them. He paid immediately and said to the shopkeeper, "We’ll come back for these later, just leave them here for now."
"Alright, alright."
Having encountered a big spender, the shopkeeper was very happy and agreed promptly.
