He Yuzhu pretended to rummage through his pockets for a long time, then pulled out a silver coin and said, "Give me two."

"What do you want, young man?" The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the silver coins and started making them skillfully.

"Can you become a phoenix?" He Yuzhu asked.

"You're really picky, little brother. You can only buy one of these Phoenix candies. How about you try something else?"

"Then let's have a Phoenix."

"Okay, wait a moment."

He Yuzhu also came up with this idea on a whim. Although he had not been reborn from the ashes, he wanted to ask for good luck.

After a while, a lifelike phoenix sugar figure appeared in front of him. He Yuzhu took the sugar phoenix handed to him by the sugar figure maker and ate it while walking.

Many children on the street were extremely envious and kept asking their parents to buy them candy figures.

As he walked, he came across a stall selling donkey rolls. The white glutinous rice balls filled with red bean paste and sprinkled with soybean flour were mouth-watering.

He Yuzhu took out two silver coins and bought four more. He ate one and it was not bad. He wrapped the rest and put them in his pocket. In fact, he just threw them into the space, as they were crushed in his pocket.

Then he bought some candied haws, mung bean cakes, rice cakes and the like.

After eating and drinking, He Yuzhu continued to stroll around the market.

He came to a stall selling used books and found some picture books, or comic books. He squatted down and started flipping through them to see if there were any complete sets.

Seeing that he was a child, the bookseller said impatiently, "Kid, do you have any money? This book is very expensive."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "How can a tattered comic book be so valuable?"

I casually asked, "How much is it?"

"Oh, you can't afford it. The original price of a set of Journey to the West is 18 yuan. I have an old one here that is in good condition. Take it for 15 yuan."

He Yuzhu retreated immediately. Wow, this is really wow, are comic books so expensive?

He had 15 dollars and was considering whether to buy it. If a little kid like him took out so much money at once, wouldn't that attract people to rob him? Although he was not too afraid, what if something went wrong?
So He Yuzhu asked, "Do you deliver the goods to my door?"

The stall owner shook his head.

He Yuzhu said again: "Then can we go to a place with fewer people?"

The stall owner looked at the patched clothes on He Yuzhu and felt that the boy was playing a trick on him.

"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't have money, get out."

He Yuzhu got up and left. Although he really wanted to collect a few sets for fun, the stall owner was too discerning. He decided to wait for another opportunity.

His interest was spoiled, and He Yuzhu lost the desire to continue shopping. He started to walk back.

As he walked on the road, he rummaged through the space and found a bag. He wanted to take out the bottle and milk powder, so he could finally cross the river.

Of course he wouldn't take it all out, it was a bit too much, so he only got two bottles, a can of milk powder, five diapers, and a pound of brown sugar.

When he returned to the courtyard and entered the gate, he saw no one in front of him, so he ran to the snowman he had built and started digging. When he found it was the right size, he stuffed the bundle into it.

Then he took out a bag, which contained some snacks he had bought. He planned to take them back to his mother to please her.

As for where the silver came from, he found a purse from last night's spoils. It was obvious that it was the kind that only people with some money could have. He would just say that he picked up a purse, but there were only daily necessities and military bills in it. He took out all the silver coins and other things and used them as money to buy things. Baby bottles and milk powder were not cheap.

It was too cold and there were few people in the middle courtyard. He thought for a moment and took out a crucian carp from the space.

Walking to the door and pushing it open, He Yuzhu shouted, "Mom, I'm back."

"Zhu is back, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The old lady's voice came from inside. "Brother Zhu, you're back, I was bored to death." Then came Xu Damao's voice.

Then Xu Damao rushed out of the house, saw the bag in He Yuzhu's hand, and then saw the fish in He Yuzhu's hand. Xu Damao's eyes lit up: "Brother Zhuzi, did you buy fish?"

"You are the one with sharp eyes. I'll go release the fish first." He Yuzhu handed the bag to Xu Damao first.

"Okay, okay." Xu Damao happily took the bundle and sniffed it. His eyes brightened as he smelled a sweet fragrance.

"Has the money been delivered?" Chen Lanxiang asked after seeing He Yuzhu enter the inner room.

"Delivered."

"You also bought fish, what's in this bag?" Chen Lanxiang asked in confusion. The money she gave was enough, not much more.

"Well, I happened to see someone selling fish, so I bought a crucian carp and will make soup for you later. I also bought some snacks." He Yuzhu opened the bag and displayed various snacks in front of everyone.

"Where have you been, kid?" Chen Lanxiang complained. These things are only available in the market.

"On the way, on the way." He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and winked at his mother. Chen Lanxiang was stunned for a moment, then asked again.

"Hmph, has the medical fee been delivered?"

"Delivered."

"Didn't you get stopped and checked on the way?"

"No." He Yuzhu lied. How would he know what the situation was over there? He hadn't been there. Anyway, no one would check him in Dong'an.

Xu Damao couldn't take his eyes off the snacks and was almost drooling.

Chen Lanxiang was amused when she saw this and teased, "Hurry up and give Damao something to eat. Look how greedy he is."

"Hahahaha." He Yuzhu laughed loudly, but he didn't give it to Xu Damao first. He took a mung bean cake and gave it to the deaf old lady. He didn't dare to give it to her because it was sticky.

"My eldest grandson is so filial. He knows to think about me, his grandma, first." The old lady took it happily, feeling very happy. This grandson knew what he liked.

Then He Yuzhu gave his mother a donkey roll, and finally came Xu Damao who was waiting eagerly. Xu Damao took a small bite and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhuzi!"

"It's the rent for your slingshot, plus one extra day."

"Then I'm getting the advantage." Xu Damao chuckled.

After chatting for a few more words, He Yuzhu said, "I'm going to cook first."

"Brother Zhuzi, let me help you." Xu Damao said vaguely without swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Okay, no need to help, it's not enough to cause trouble."

"hey-hey."

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen, killed the fish and cut vegetables. Ten minutes later, the aroma of fish soup wafted from the kitchen, and Xu Damao sniffed.

"Lanxiang, Zhuzi has grown up now. You will enjoy a happy life in the future."

"Hmph, he's sensible now, but he's not obedient. It's so chaotic outside and he's still running around." Chen Lanxiang scolded.

"You should just be content. How can an honest child achieve anything? My eldest grandson will definitely have a bright future."

"Madam, please side with him."

"That's right. I don't support anyone else but my eldest grandson." The deaf old lady smiled.

"I can't argue with you."
