Chapter 531: Chapter 533: What Do You Want a Calendar For?

"Okay."

Xu Nian’an glanced at the price; it wasn’t outrageously expensive. He strolled around the store with Xu Nianhua and bought the bed he liked as well as the sofa, bookshelf, and a small bed that Nianhua had her eye on.

"Brother, what do you want that small bed for?"

Nianhua’s face was full of confusion.

"Of course for sleeping. Think about it, when you come to the store, I’ll sleep downstairs, and you can sleep in the bed upstairs." Xu Nian’an thought this arrangement was quite good. Regardless, at least there would be a place to sleep, so there was no need to squeeze into the Pei Family’s house anymore.

Although the Pei Family’s place was nice, it still wasn’t his own home. Plus, there was Pei Yicheng, the big bad wolf always ready to snatch away his little sister.

"Do you want to go to the Pei Family’s?" Xu Nian’an countered.

Xu Nianhua immediately shook her head and said, "Golden nest, silver nest, none is as comfortable as our own dog nest. We’ll just live in the store. But, we just painted the walls, can we really stay here?"

"Why not?" Xu Nian’an didn’t see any issue. The painting was done downstairs, so why couldn’t they stay?

Nianhua thought about it and agreed. It wasn’t like the future where there was paint and glue that could cause pollution.

After settling the furniture, she suddenly noticed a pile of calendar paper next to the store owner.

"Boss, could you give us some of that calendar paper?" Nianhua asked sweetly, her radiant and affable smile instantly endearing. She continued, "My brother and I bought so many items at once. Could you just throw them in as a little extra?"

"Alright."

The store owner glanced indifferently at the calendar paper, which was originally meant to be sold as scrap paper, not worth much anyway.

Nianhua unceremoniously loaded the entire pile of calendar paper onto their cart.

The corners of the store owner’s mouth twitched. He said he’d give some, not all. That much calendar paper could sell for a little bit; how could they just take it all?

"Boss?" Nianhua timidly spoke up, her big round eyes looking innocently at the boss. She carefully watched him, her eyes seemingly pleading: Boss, you did agree to give it to us, aren’t you going to keep your word?

"What are you going to do with so much calendar paper?" The boss suppressed his disappointment and asked out of curiosity.

It wasn’t as if he thought she would resell it. After all, the brother and sister, young as they were, had just spent several hundred on second-hand furniture. They couldn’t be that poor.

"We’re going to cover the dark walls at home," Nianhua replied promptly.

The boss: ...

Why not spend those few cents on food instead of papering the walls?

Perhaps noticing the boss’s changed expression, she added, "You’re a really good person, boss. I wish you prosperity in business. If our friends ever need to buy something, we will definitely come to you first."

Her words were as sweet as honey.

"Very well, it’s a deal." People in business love to hear words like Nianhua’s. After all, he had made a substantial deal today, so giving away the worthless calendar paper didn’t matter.

Girls always love pretty things.

"Using this to cover the walls will definitely look nice." Xu Nian’an didn’t understand why she wanted the calendar paper, but hearing Nianhua’s words, he suddenly realized his little sister was quite thoughtful. The attic was originally not very bright, and if they covered it with white calendar paper, it would brighten up the space considerably.

"Most importantly, the lighting won’t be so dim," Nianhua said with a smile. If time allowed, it would be best to paint the attic white too. But school was about to start, and they needed to stay today. Repainting the attic would be inconvenient and expensive. Right now, the most important thing was to get the store up and running.
