Chapter 87: Eighty-six, shopping

While they were talking, a knock came from outside.

The nanny wiped her hands with a towel and went to open the door. Seeing Luo Shu outside, she called out to Zhao Aishu in the kitchen with a smile, "Madam, Miss Luo Shu is here."

Zhao Aishu poked her head out from the kitchen, and upon seeing Luo Shu, a happy smile appeared on her face. "Luo Shu, I can walk now." She had been planning to tell Luo Shu the good news, so her visit was perfectly timed.

"That’s really great! Congratulations godmother!" Luo Shu said with a smile as she walked into the kitchen and picked up some vegetables to wash.

"This is all thanks to you. Today, your godmother will cook personally to reward you, our greatest contributor. Just don’t look down on the taste of my cooking, okay?" Zhao Aishu laughed as she poured oil into the heated pan and, after waiting a bit, added some already-chopped tomatoes into the pan. It had been so long since she last cooked that she felt a bit rusty.

"Of course not, I have high expectations for my godmother’s cooking skills." Luo Shu blinked and laughed playfully.

Hearing the laughter from the kitchen, the nanny smiled and, holding the broom, made her way to another room. With Luo Shu here, she felt at ease.

"Luo Shu, try this scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Zhao Aishu reached for a pair of chopsticks from the holder and handed them to Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled as she took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tomato and tasted it, "Mmm, delicious. Your cooking skills are really great, godmother!" She gave a thumbs up to Zhao Aishu.

Zhao Aishu gave Luo Shu a sideways glance and said laughingly, "You’re just trying to make me happy."

"Not at all. Don’t believe me? You try some." Luo Shu picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks and held it to Zhao Aishu’s mouth.

Zhao Aishu opened her mouth and ate the egg, her eyes smiling at Luo Shu. Having such a goddaughter was truly the greatest fortune of her life!

After sending off Luo Shu, He Xiangyu and her daughter hurriedly rushed to the Mu family’s home.

The Mu family had been gloomy lately because of Old Madam Mu’s illness. Although it’s inevitable for the elderly to fall sick, being younger generations, they always wished for their elders to be healthy and live a long life.

No sooner had He Xiangyu and Mu Wan entered the living room than they heard everyone discussing whether to send Old Madam Mu to Jinchen for treatment. He Xiangyu stepped forward and said, "Let’s not rush things. My Wanwan has bought a hundred-year-old wild ginseng for the old lady today. Everyone have a look."

"Really? Bring it out to see."

"Big sister, don’t fool us. It’s not that easy to find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng."

"Yeah, Wanwan hasn’t been cheated, has she?"

"How could my Wanwan be cheated by someone? She’s so smart," He Xiangyu said somewhat displeased, having forgotten that she initially had the same concern.

Taking out the box containing the wild ginseng, she opened it and placed it on the table, "Doctor Xu has already authenticated it. This is genuinely a hundred-year-old wild ginseng."

"The quality of this ginseng looks really good!"

"It really doesn’t seem fake. I wonder how effective it will be?"

He Xiangyu smiled proudly, "Of course, it can’t be fake, and I have another piece of good news for everyone."

"What’s the good news?" Everyone turned their gaze to He Xiangyu in unison.

"Tonight a friend of mine is having a birthday, and she said her nephew, who was in an accident a while back, encountered a god-doctor. This god-doctor not only saved her nephew’s life but also healed the Prefect’s wife’s leg. She has already agreed to introduce this god-doctor to me," He Xiangyu said, her face beaming with pride.

"A god-doctor? I hope it’s not just a charlatan."

"How many god-doctors can there possibly be? Big sister, don’t be fooled."

"Big sister, make sure to bring the god-doctor to us for a look when the time comes." It was clear everyone harbored some disbelief.

Not long ago, some among them had been duped by someone claiming to be a ’god-doctor.’ If it weren’t for having some influence at home, they would have been utterly cheated.

He Xiangyu huffed displeasedly, "Believe it or not, you’ll all see in due time. Wanwan, let’s go upstairs and see grandma." Her friend was from the Zhou Family, how could she possibly deceive her?

Zhao Aishu put down her bowl, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and upon seeing that Luo Shu had also finished eating, asked, "Luo Shu, with my current condition, can I go out for a walk on the street?" It had been many years since she last went out for a stroll, and she truly wished to do so.

"Of course!" Luo Shu smiled and nodded. When she was treating her, she had incorporated Spiritual Spring into the process, and now her leg strength was certainly no less than that of an average person.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Aishu’s face broke into a surprised and happy smile, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go out and take a walk."

"Alright! I will just go get a bottle of water first," Luo Shu said, standing up and walking into the kitchen. In this era, there was no bottled mineral water for sale on the streets, and though there were beverages like orange soda, they all contained artificial colorants. Moreover, in such cold weather, it wasn’t suitable to drink something cold.

In the kitchen, she filled a kettle with boiling water from the Guards, added a drop of Spiritual Spring, screwed on the lid and then, carrying the kettle, exited the kitchen.

Upon returning to the living room, she saw Zhao Aishu already dressed in her cotton-padded jacket, waiting for her.

"Luo Shu, let’s hurry on," Zhao Aishu said with some excitement.

Seeing Zhao Aishu’s eagerness, Luo Shu couldn’t help but laugh. She stepped forward, took Zhao Aishu’s arm, and said, "Let’s go."

The street was bustling with people coming and going, A bustling marketplace that was much more lively than the ones in the town, complete with a relatively large shopping center.

"Let’s have a look around the shopping center," Zhao Aishu suggested, pulling Luo Shu by the hand into the center.

The place was called a shopping center, but in reality, it was just larger than a sales outlet and had a slightly wider range of goods. It was nothing compared to the shopping centers of future generations.

Upon a quick glance, Luo Shu noticed that many items here required ration tickets to purchase.

"Godmother, let’s take a look over there," Luo Shu suggested, pointing toward the watch counter. She wanted to buy a watch for Lu Hanmo as a birthday present, with his birthday coming up on the tenth of next month.

When they arrived at the watch counter, Luo Shu examined the watches within. The variety of watches available was not great—the counter only displayed three brands.

"Luo Shu, your godmother just happens to have a watch coupon. Take a look and see which one you like; I’ll buy it for you," Zhao Aishu said. She had been planning on buying a watch to gift Luo Shu but didn’t know what kind Luo Shu would like.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, taking out three watch coupons from her pocket, "Godmother, I can buy it myself. I have watch coupons too, as you can see. I was originally only planning to buy a watch for Hanmo, but then I thought Luo Zheng might need one too. Since I’m getting one for Luo Zheng, naturally, I should get one for Luo Shan as well. I have plenty of watch coupons in my space, so I might as well buy them all at once. As for myself, I’ve never liked wearing this kind of jewelry, so I’ll pass."
