Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 49 - Forty-nine bring a pair of shoes for the wife_1

Those that add water, short in weight, or pass off inferior products as good quality.

You could easily be deceived if you’re not careful.

It seemed this young man really had integrity.

He weighed every one of the sacks of goji berries.

A total of one thousand three hundred pounds, three hundred pounds more than Gu Chen had predicted.

The boss was also a man of his word.

He took out a bundle of hundred-yuan bills from the till and counted out an additional three thousand six hundred fifty yuan, and handed it all to Gu Chen.

“Brother, this is the payment for today’s goods, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration, and when the goji berries are ready again, remember to come find me.”

The boss did not know that Gu Chen’s goji berries were harvested daily; he assumed they were like regular goji berries, harvested every three to five months.

Gu Chen didn’t explain; he took the money and smiled at the boss.

“Happy to collaborate!”

After finishing, he remembered what Aunt Zhang had asked him to buy for her.

“Boss, can I buy the medicine now?”

He had come specifically to buy medicine, and after being busy all morning, he hadn’t even bought it yet.

Luckily, he remembered; otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt comfortable facing Aunt Zhang after returning.

The boss had not focused on Gu Chen buying medicine from the beginning, his mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Chen’s goji berries.

Upon Gu Chen’s reminder, the boss slapped his forehead vigorously.

As if he had just realized, he said, “Look at my memory! I’ll prepare your medicine now.”

After saying that, he hurriedly took the list Gu Chen gave him in the morning and turned to start preparing medicine from the cabinets behind him.

After he had prepared the medicine, he also gave Gu Chen two Plasters.

“Brother, here’s your medicine.”

Gu Chen accepted it and pulled out a fifty-yuan note from his stack of money and handed it to the boss.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

The boss waved his hands hurriedly.

“What are you doing? This medicine is on me, it wasn’t expensive to begin with.”

From their first transaction, the boss had realized that Gu Chen was a person with whom he could work effectively.

Not to mention anything else, but his integrity alone.

He couldn’t accept the money.

Gu Chen didn’t refuse; he just smiled.

“Then thank you very much, boss.”

After all, they had just done a deal worth over ten thousand; haggling over a sum of ten or so would look bad.

He could just round down the change next time.

After leaving the medicine store, Gu Chen gave two thousand yuan to the clerk selling the medicine.

He then carried a box of ginseng to his car.

Taking advantage of driving his car, he made a trip to the market.

He bought some walnuts, peanuts, and the like.

Then he went to the supermarket in the mall and spent forty yuan on some Xufuji chocolates and candies.

Only then did he leave, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

These days, without Dove, the best chocolate is from Xufuji.

Around the corner of the mall were shops selling women’s shoes.

High heels, leather shoes, they looked stylish and comfortable.

Gu Chen touched his pocket, his eyebrows twitching.

Since he had earned a lot today, why not buy a pair of leather shoes for his wife?

They matched her tweed coat perfectly!

During the New Year, she would have the chance to look truly beautiful.

He refused to believe that Ji Pianran could genuinely dislike them.

After all, women are born lovers of beauty, and to tell the truth, so are men.

Upon waking in the morning, the first thing to do is to look in the mirror.

Gaze carefully and then pose the soul-searching question.

“Why the heck am I so handsome? Could I be so handsome that I’ll be stalked by talent scouts?”

This isn’t mere belief; it’s a commonality of humankind.

Most people are like that.

Gu Chen approached the shelf and instantly took a liking to a pair of gray flat leather shoes.

The matte leather surface looked high-quality, somewhat resembling boots.

The color matched the clothes he had bought the other day to a tee; together, they would look stunning.

Gu Chen glanced at the sales assistant.

“How much for these shoes?” he asked.

The sales assistant smiled, “These shoes are five hundred Yuan.”

Gu Chen nodded, “Alright, I’ll take a pair.”

As he spoke, he fished five hundred Yuan out of his pocket and handed it to the sales assistant.

The assistant looked at Gu Chen with surprise, not because his clothes obviously showed he came from the countryside.

But because it was the first time she encountered someone buying shoes without mentioning the size.

Obviously buying shoes for his girlfriend, he didn’t even know her shoe size.

The assistant chuckled, “Sir, it looks like you’re buying these for your girlfriend, right? You need to know the size for shoes.”

Gu Chen: “!!!!”

He didn’t know Ji Pianran’s shoe size!

But he had touched Ji Pianran’s feet and even memorized them in his mind.

It wasn’t that Gu Chen had any peculiar fetishes; it was just that Ji Pianran’s feet were too lovely.

He used his hand to gesture, “About… this long.”

The sales assistant laughed, “Are you sure? If it’s a size too big or too small, it won’t fit properly.”

Gu Chen nodded earnestly, “Just this size! There’s no mistake, how could I possibly remember my wife’s foot size wrong?”

The assistant’s eyebrows shot up in amazement.

His wife’s foot?

He was buying shoes for his wife?

This young man obviously came from the countryside, as did she herself.

One couldn’t deny that people from the countryside faced far more difficulties than those in the cities, and making money wasn’t as easy.

Yet, he was willing to spend five hundred Yuan on shoes for his wife, and he was so certain, gesturing with his hands, ‘just this size.’ He clearly had the imprint of his wife’s feet in his mind.

My goodness, this was true love.

The sales assistant couldn’t help but feel somewhat envious of Ji Pianran at that moment.

It must have taken several lifetimes of good fortune to meet a husband who loved her so dearly.

She went to the back storage room, brought out a pair of size thirty-seven shoes, and came out.

Opening the shoebox, she presented it to Gu Chen, “Please be sure to check, is it this size?”

Gu Chen looked and shook his head, “It seems a bit too large. Do you have one size smaller?”

Now the sales assistant was even more convinced of Gu Chen’s true love for his wife.

There’s only a one-centimeter difference between size thirty-seven and thirty-six!

He could tell the difference of one centimeter?

If that’s not true love, then what is?

She nodded, “I’ll fetch the right size for you, please wait a moment.”

Saying that, she took the shoes back to the storage room and returned with a pair of size thirty-six.

She then held them out to Gu Chen, “How about this pair?”

The shoes lay in the box, and with a glance, Gu Chen imagined Ji Pianran wearing them.

He smiled and nodded, “This pair, thank you.”

After speaking, he closed the lid, cradled the shoebox, and left the mall.

It was already three o’clock, and he remembered Ji Pianran’s words, telling him to come back early. Tomorrow was New Year’s Day; it was time for a bath to wash away the year’s bad luck!
