Chapter 239: Roommate Don’t Come Over: Going to the Market

Li Xiaoyao handed the small backpack to Li Xiaomai, and then held his little hand, which was as white and tender as a lotus root, tightly.

Li Xiaoyao said softly, "Brother Ye, let's go."

Ye Jiaotang smiled and responded, "Okay."

The two of them walked into the bustling rural market side by side like close friends.

The sunlight sprinkled on the ground like a golden veil, raising a cloud of dust, as if cheering for their arrival.

Li Xiaomai was like a curious little kitten, looking around with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Xiaomai stopped and pointed excitedly at an old man's stall in front of him as if he had discovered a treasure. He said expectantly, "Brother, I want that."

Li Xiaoyao looked in the direction of his chubby finger and found that it was a small stall full of spinning tops.

Li Xiaoyao took him and walked over quickly, asked the old man the price, and when he heard it was five yuan each, Li Xiaoyao paid without hesitation and bought two spinning tops for Li Xiaomai.

Li Xiaomai was as happy as a little monkey who got his favorite toy. He danced with joy and carefully put the two spinning tops into his little backpack.

Li Xiaoyao asked gently, "What else do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Li Xiaomai tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said sensibly, "Brother, do you have any money left? Can you buy Dad a pair of hiking shoes?"

Li Xiaoyao gently touched Li Xiaomai's head and comforted her, "Don't worry about Mom and Dad. I'll buy them. I'm asking you, what else do you want?"

Li Xiaomai smiled a little embarrassedly, and said shyly like a shy little girl: "Brother, my pants are torn, I want new ones."

Li Xiaoyao laughed out loud at his cute appearance: "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

After buying a pair of shorts for Li Xiaomai, Li Xiaoyao, like a careful tailor, carefully selected a new set of clothes for him.

After buying things for Li Xiaomai, Li Xiaoyao went straight to choose gifts for his parents, picking out a new set of clothes and new shoes for each of them, and finally went to buy food.

Ye Jiaotang saw a fruit vendor up ahead, so he turned to Li Xiaoyao, who was selecting meat, and said, "Xiaoyao, I'm going to buy something up ahead. Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

Li Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

In a moment, Ye Jiaotang returned with several bags of fruit.

Li Xiaoyao was dumbfounded: "...Brother Ye, you bought too much."

Ye Jiaotang didn't care: "We have a large family, so we can definitely finish this amount of fruit."

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head: "I'm sorry for the expense."

Ye Jiaotang: "I come to your house and eat and live for free, so you are the one who pays for it."

Li Xiaoyao waved his hands repeatedly: "We are good brothers, don't be so formal."

Ye Jiaotang nodded in agreement. There really was no need for them to argue with each other. He continued, "Well, what else is missing now?"

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and found that there was nothing else he needed to buy.

Li Xiaomai interrupted and said, "Brother, Mom's needle and thread are almost used up."

Li Xiaoyao nodded, and after buying needles and thread for Li's mother, she saw some patterns on the stall and picked up a few patterns of cloth shoes.

Looking at the backpack that was stuffed to the brim, Li Xiaoyao was content: "Okay, everything is ready."

"Let's go home."

Li Xiaomai cheered happily: "Yeah! I can go home now!"

Li Xiaomai couldn't contain her excitement at the thought of wearing new clothes when she returned home.
