243 Preparing to Shop
Xiao Xiao looked at the ice-type jade in her hand in disappointment and pursed her lips. “What? It can’t compare to Manman’s at all.”
“You should be grateful that you didn’t lose money. Not everyone is as accurate as Sister Man.”
Gu Man felt the faint gazes around her and knew that it was time to leave. If she didn’t leave now, something might happen.
She urged the three nonchalant people. When the three of them did not get the jade they wanted, they looked dejected and had no interest in staying in the ghost market.
Nothing happened after they left the ghost market. Gu Man heaved a sigh of relief.
The four of them parted ways and Gu Man returned home.
When she got home, she realized that her grandmother was still awake. She sat on the sofa and slowly opened her eyes when she heard movement at the door.
“Grandma, why aren’t you asleep?”
“Manman’s back.”
Grandma rubbed her eyes and smiled kindly. At this moment, Huang Jun walked out of the room.
“Are you hungry? Uncle will make you some noodles.” Huang Jun walked into the kitchen as he spoke and put on an ap.r.o.n very naturally.
Gu Man did not expect them to be waiting for her to return. Looking at the two people in front of her, Gu Man felt her heart warm and she smiled.
“I’ve eaten. It’s already so late. Grandma and Uncle, hurry up and rest. I’ll sleep after washing up.”
Grandma yawned as she walked towards the room. “Manman, rest early. I can’t continue to endure this with my old bones. If you need anything, you can look for your uncle.”
“What can happen to me?”
Gu Man pushed her grandmother towards the room, her tone unconsciously affectionate.
“You…”
Grandma did not resist. Under Gu Man’s gaze, she lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.
Looking at her grandmother who was slowly closing her eyes, Gu Man left in relief.
Outside the door, Huang Jun had not returned to his room.
He looked a little troubled, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Gu Man thought for a moment and could roughly guess his dilemma. It was none other than about Huang Jue. Only her and Huang Jue’s matter would make Huang Jun worry.
“Uncle, I’ve already gone to school to ask the teacher. Cousin can take the exam in advance and there’s no need to transfer schools. After all, the middle school examination is coming soon. It’s not convenient.”
Huang Jun looked grateful and quickly nodded. “Thank you, Manman. I’m useless. I’ll have to trouble you with Huang Jue.”
“Uncle, what are you talking about? We’re all family. We should help each other. Otherwise, what’s the difference between me and the Gu Family? Oh right, Uncle, I’ll bring Cousin to the streets this weekend and buy him something to wear. He’s going to high school soon.”
Huang Jun’s rejection was immediately blocked. It was unknown if it was because he had heard that she was about to enter high school.
“Manman, Uncle has been looking for a job recently. I definitely won’t cause you trouble.”
Gu Man was a little helpless. Although their family looked harmonious, they had been especially reserved ever since her uncle came here.
She knew that it was useless to persuade Huang Jun, so she could only let him be. “Alright, I understand. Uncle, hurry up and go to bed. It’s getting late.”
“Okay, okay.”
After Gu Man cleaned up, she fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.
When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon. Gu Man turned around and picked up her phone. She suddenly realized that it seemed to be the weekend.
She exhaled and lay on the bed for a while before sitting up.
She had said that she would bring Huang Jue to buy clothes this weekend. Since she was awake, she had to resolve this matter quickly.
At the dining table, when Gu Man said this, Huang Jue looked especially excited. No matter how he hid it, he could not hide his joy.
“Sister, will it be too troublesome for you? Actually, I don’t have anything to buy.”
After the surprise, there were more concerns. Huang Jue had matured early since he was young and had many more concerns than ordinary people.
Although he looked expectant, he still rejected Gu Man’s suggestion.
“What’s so troublesome? It’s the weekend. I need to buy something when I go out.”
