Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Fearless Young Girl_1

Song Yunuan didn’t hide anything at all. "It’s that former fiancé of mine, Lu Feng. He was on a hunger strike, insisting on making his parents agree to our marriage, so I came over, talked to him a bit, and he returned to normal," she said.

Xiao Wu: ...

How did you persuade him?

It couldn’t be that the two of you decided to rekindle your past relationship and got engaged again, could it?

Even though it seemed unlikely, if it was the case, it actually wouldn’t be such a good thing.

Without a change in expression, Song Yunuan glanced at Gu Huai’an who was opening the car door, looking at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and said, "Get in the car, aren’t we going to the department store?"

He didn’t even ask or follow up on that topic.

Song Yunuan smiled and then also got into the car.

The department store wasn’t too far from the hospital, just a ten-minute drive.

In the car, Asheng looked around in awe and commented, "Big brother, your car seems different from the others."

Even when they had gone to Herr City together before, she had not ridden in Gu Huai’an’s car.

This was indeed Asheng’s first time sitting in it.

Gu Huai’an asked patiently, "What’s different about it?"

Asheng thought for a bit. "There are many differences, like there’s a phone next to the steering wheel and the tires are different too, kind of like a big tank."

Gu Huai’an ruffled Asheng’s hair. "That’s correct. It’s not the same as a tank, but some functions are similar."

Asheng turned to look at the back again, and only then did Song Yunuan ask, "Professor Gu, when did you come to the provincial city? Are you still going to Nanshan County Town?"

The young girl’s question seemed very casual, but to Gu Huai’an, it sounded somewhat meaningful.

Gu Huai’an curved his lips but didn’t answer. Instead, he said, "You have a bonus coming, can you guess how much it is?"

Song Yunuan laughed. "I can’t guess, but I’ll be happy with any amount."

Then she added apologetically, "Should I not have pried into your whereabouts?"

Xiao Wu thought to herself that it was certainly the case.

Gu Huai’an looked at Song Yunuan, who didn’t seem to care, and thought that the little girl was getting a bit too fearless.

However, he didn’t dislike this feeling.

"Next Monday, I will go to Nanshan County Town," he paused, then continued, "to distribute the bonus, for you."

"Really?" Song Yunuan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, "Do you know how much the bonus is?"

Gu Huai’an shook his head slightly, seriously saying, "I don’t know."

If he didn’t know, then that was that.

It felt like just a few words had been exchanged when the provincial city department store arrived.

When the two got out of the car, Gu Huai’an still reminded her, "Head back to the guest house after shopping. There are quite a few thieves and kidnappers around here."

Asheng immediately became worried. If he got lost, he would have neither a home nor a sister.

He spoke to Gu Huai’an, "Big brother, there’s a roll of rope in the back of your car. Could I borrow it? I promise not to damage it, and when you go to Nanshan County Town, I’ll return it to you."

It was a bundle of hemp rope. Gu Huai’an asked Asheng what he wanted to do with it.

Asheng tied the rope around his waist, and the other end to Song Yunuan’s wrist.

The little guy might have small hands, but he was very nimble at tying knots.

Curious, Song Yunuan asked her brother, "That knot looks quite impressive, where did you learn it from?"

"It’s a clove hitch, I learned it from Grandpa," he explained.

Gu Huai’an looked at the siblings tied together, resembling grasshoppers, and raised his eyebrows speechlessly. It was a bit odd, but he had to admit, it had its benefits.

Song Yunuan, who didn’t care about others’ opinions, not only didn’t mind but thought it was fun.

With that, she led her brother towards the department store and cheerfully told Gu Huai’an before leaving, "See you next week!"

Gu Huai’an watched them enter the building before finally shifting his gaze away.

Once he got back in the car, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

His handsome eyebrows and eyes were filled with pleasure.

Xiao Wu also smiled along.

But just after the next week, they were really ending the inspection and would return to the Dragon Aviation base.

They would have to stay for at least half a year.

The commander...

Xiao Wu quickly reined in his thoughts, no longer letting his mind wander.

Meanwhile, Song Yunuan, leading her brother, toured the department store. She ignored the gazes of people surrounding them to watch the commotion, but it had to be said that it was very safe.

Quite a few people thought that this was actually quite good.

Otherwise, sometimes when shopping, one might forget a child’s hand they were holding.

A simple rope solved many problems.

The siblings went to the clothing counter. There was no lack of clothes, but the styles were somewhat outdated.

It felt better to return home and design their own; after all, there were many kinds of cloth mailed back from Herr City, and the colors were the same.

Shoes, on the other hand, were purchase-worthy, like the labor protection store’s rubber shoes, gloves, raincoats, which surprisingly no longer required coupons.

Not to mention, it really was becoming more convenient.

Song Yunuan went on to buy buttons. If she really wanted to make clothes, buttons were also very important.

She knew where to buy buttons, but since they were quite expensive, she only bought a few of each kind, and they looked pretty good when put together.

Afterward, they visited the foreign trade store, where she bought a set of short sleeves and shorts for her brother and a cute floral dress for Yingying. After leaving, she felt they also needed matching shoes, so she bought a pair of small leather shoes for Asheng.

At the guest house, Little Asheng, looking at his reflection in the mirror, said with some unease, "Sister, I used to wear clothes that you and brother had outgrown, altered to fit me. If we go back, won’t Grandma accuse you of wastefulness?"

Song Yunuan didn’t mind, "It’s fine. As long as it’s something Sister bought, Grandma won’t say anything."

Little Asheng felt that it seemed to be true.

Happily thinking, it seemed like since Sister came back, everything was changing.

Sister is really great.

When he grows up, he’ll definitely take very good care of Sister.

Just like how he respects Grandpa, Grandma, and the parents.

-----------------

Two days later, Song Yunuan and her group returned to Nanshan County Town.

It was Cousin Zheng who had booked the tickets and insisted they didn’t need to buy their own.

Lu Feng of the Lu family had gone to school and everything was back to normal. Meanwhile, the Zheng family kept their mouths tightly shut. Lu Feng didn’t know that Song Yunuan and the others were staying in the guest house not far away.

He thought they would go back the next day.

Song Yunuan saw how many things her younger uncle had noted in his notebook. She thought for a moment and sketched several designs of work desks and filing cabinets based on her memory.

Right on the drawing pad.

Song Nian looked at them and his eyes lit up, feeling that Little Nuan’s designs were very realistic and the style was innovative.

He hadn’t seen anything similar in several furniture factories.

This trip had truly broadened his horizons and he had learned a lot, even if it was only for a day.

He needed to organize his thoughts and then report back to the factory manager.

Song Yunuan suggested that he give all the sketches she had made to the factory manager. The electronics factory was preparing to purchase a batch of office equipment, and perhaps they could persuade Zheng Dong to use their factory’s furniture.

Just by observing the interaction between Factory Manager Duan and Zheng Dong, it was evident that a deal hadn’t been struck. Zheng Dong didn’t want to commit, but owing a favor meant he would consider it.

But if the products were good, it would have nothing to do with favors.

Zheng Dong wasn’t a fool either; the factory wasn’t his personal property, and he couldn’t abuse his position for personal gain.

However, as far as she knew, the furniture from the Nanshan County Town furniture factory would become quite famous in the future.
