Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Cotton Candy Machine (Three More Updates)

"Uncle, why don’t you just come and open a store in the provincial city?" Tang Yue suggested.

Tang Mingli glared at her fiercely and then left, dragging his clothes.

Suddenly, Tang Yue remembered something, she blurted out, "Uncle, how about we go sit for a while longer?"

"Xiao Yue, can you please be serious for once?" Tang Mingli quickened his pace.

But Tang Yue turned around and went back to Wei Jiajia’s shop.

After walking a bit, Tang Mingli realized Tang Yue wasn’t following him. Turning around, he saw Tang Yue re-entering Wei Jiajia’s shop, Tang Mingli was shocked, fearing that she would say something inappropriate, and hurried back with the goods, saying, "Xiao Yue, don’t talk nonsense."

Tang Yue looked at him innocently and asked, "Uncle, I haven’t said anything yet, how do you know what I’m going to say?"

Tang Mingli was anxious inside, but didn’t know what to say.

"What’s the matter?" Wei Jiajia came out from her shop and seeing the uncle and niece together thought maybe there was a shortage of clothes, quickly saying, "Is it that there aren’t enough clothes?"

"Sister Jiajia, it’s like this, I’m not familiar with Provincial City, and I was wondering if you know where to buy a cotton candy machine?" Tang Yue explained clearly, "I’m just asking, in case we decide to sell cotton candy in our county, I want to check out the price of the machines first."

"There is." Wei Jiajia, having grown up in Provincial City, was very familiar with the area, she said, "I don’t know the price, but I know where they sell them, just past the wholesale market in that alley."

Wei Jiajia thought for a moment, that place was hard to find, and since they were not familiar, the price they would get could be high, she said, "Wait a moment, I’ll close the shop first and then accompany you."

"Sister Jiajia, how could I impose on you like that, just tell me the way, I can go by myself," Tang Yue hurriedly said, knowing that the wholesale market was definitely bustling, and Wei Jiajia closing her shop now meant losing a lot of business.

"It’s okay, it’s very close." Wei Jiajia was already taking her keys and beginning to close the door.

Tang Mingli stood aside, dumbfounded, asking, "Xiao Yue, why are you asking about that?"

"Uncle, I’ll tell you on the way back, why don’t you first take these things to the station?" Tang Yue looked at him carrying several packages, bringing these to the place selling the cotton candy machine would be inconvenient.

"Can you manage alone?" Tang Mingli was worried, he had promised in front of his older brother and sister-in-law that nothing would happen to Xiao Yue in Provincial City, otherwise they would certainly chop him up.

"There’s Sister Jiajia," Tang Yue said cheerfully.

Wei Jiajia also said, "Brother Tang, don’t worry, after asking, I’ll take Xiao Yue to the station."

"This..." Tang Mingli still felt it was inappropriate.

Wei Jiajia and Tang Yue, already arm in arm, were walking away, leaving Tang Mingli alone carrying two large bags of goods, dumbfounded, watching them go.

"Xiao Yue, I’ll wait for you at the station," Tang Mingli yelled towards Tang Yue, fearing any mishap.

Tang Yue, with her back to him, waved her hand at him.

Wei Jiajia said, "Your uncle is really worried about you."

"That’s for sure, if they don’t take me back, my parents would definitely butcher him," Tang Yue reflected on her parents and felt incredibly happy at the moment, meaningfully saying, "Sister Jiajia, you don’t know, my grandma is really worried, you see my uncle is already twenty-two, no, after the New Year, twenty-three, and still doesn’t have a partner, my grandma’s really anxious to hold a grandchild."

Tang Yue was observing Wei Jiajia’s expression, and seeing her eyes light up, she knew her uncle had a chance.

Wei Jiajia asked in surprise, "How is that possible, Brother Tang... how could he not have a partner?"

Tang Mingli was very handsome and reliable, even his sister praised him endlessly, how could such an outstanding person not have a partner.

"Maybe fate hasn’t arrived yet." Tang Yue didn’t dare say more, she had hinted enough already, the rest was up to her uncle.

Wei Jiajia was visibly excited, following Tang Yue to the place where the cotton candy machines were sold, which was indeed not far, just beyond the wholesale market through an alley, but the place was hard to find.

If Wei Jiajia hadn’t been there, Tang Yue might have spent who knows how long looking on her own.

Before Tang Yue could speak, Wei Jiajia had already started inquiring.

Wei Jiajia took Tang Yue to compare prices at different stalls, and Tang Yue overheard at a neighboring stall someone selling a cotton candy machine for eighty kuai.

But the person Wei Jiajia took got a discount of thirty, costing US$ 50.

The difference in price was quite significant.

US$ 30 could be a month’s salary for someone.

"Xiao Yue, these few places are actually quite good, if you want to buy, it’s better at the second place," Wei Jiajia advised, among these places, even though the quotes were the same, she was closest to the second one, and the products there were quite good.

Tang Yue nodded and said, "The stuff isn’t bad, but I need to ask, thank you for your trouble, Sister Jiajia."

Tang Yue, worried Wei Jiajia might be upset, explained, "Someone asked me to inquire about the prices, then they will decide."

"It’s okay," Wei Jiajia said unconcernedly, "Xiao Yue, when you’re buying, just have someone come find me, I’ll go with you to buy it."

Wei Jiajia escorted Tang Yue to the station, Tang Yue didn’t reveal that Sister Jiajia wanted to see Tang Mingli, preserving her secret.

Tang Mingli, waiting in front of the station, had been stretching his neck looking out for a long time, and seeing Tang Yue return safely, his heart finally settled, witnessing Wei Jiajia and Tang Yue chatting with smiles so sweet.

"Jiajia, thank you," Tang Mingli stepped forward, saying his thanks.

"It’s nothing, Brother Tang, next time you come to buy, just come find me," Wei Jiajia said spiritedly.

Tang Mingli hadn’t yet spoken when Tang Yue had already promised, "Sister Jiajia, when I come to buy, I will definitely find you."

"Sure," Wei Jiajia nodded.

Inside the station, they were already hurrying the buses to leave, Tang Mingli hastily bid farewell, dragging Tang Yue quickly away.

Wei Jiajia watched them enter the station before leaving.

"Xiao Yue, you didn’t buy the item, and yet you asked Jiajia to accompany you, isn’t that inappropriate?" Tang Mingli started to scold as soon as they boarded the bus.

Tang Yue giggled, "Sister Jiajia is going to be my future little aunt, getting along well with her, what’s wrong with that? If I acted too distant, Sister Jiajia would definitely feel uncomfortable."

Tang Mingli: "..."
