Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Just Be Cheeky! Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Just Be Cheeky! It included wool coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons, and so on.
âSince it was given by dad, mom, and elder brothers, you should save it. Why do you need to spend it?â
Kang Guoan disapproved of his beloved sister spending money recklessly, especially since it was money she had saved herself.
âIâm not spending it recklessly, I am buying gifts for the family.â
Muttering under her breath, Kang Li then stared at Kang Guoan and said, âBrother, donât worry about me. Just do as I say. Buy three portions of braised pork, and we wonât buy the large meat buns. That should be okay, right?â
Kang Guoan, âWhy do you need to buy three portions?â
âOne portion to give to Fourth Brother and his wife before we head home, and the remaining two portions to take home. You know, our family has many people, and one portion is not enough. I fear there might not even be a piece for everyone.â
After listening to Kang Li, Kang Guoan frowned and fell silent for a while, then sighed, âI really donât know what to say about you!â
âThen donât say anything! Keep the money safe. After youâve made the purchases, wait for me at the entrance of the state-run restaurant.â
While saying this, Kang Li pulled out a small cloth bag from a larger one she held in her hand, which held two aluminum lunch boxes, âLook, I even brought lunch boxes to buy the braised pork.â
Kang Guoan, âThree portions of braised pork, and you bring only two lunch boxes; thatâs not enough to hold them!â
Kang Li, âThe two portions for our family can be put in one lunch box, that would be fine.â
In those days, the dishes sold by state-run restaurants were generously portioned, but one portion of braised pork wouldnât fill an entire aluminum lunch box, more precisely, filling half a lunch box was already quite good.
After all, the capacity of the aluminum lunch boxes was not small.
Unexpectedly, Kang Guoan raised another objection, âI am worried about you going into the department store alone.â
âWhatâs there to worry about? Brother, donât forget, we were born on the exact same day, of the same month, and year. And Iâm not stupid. If you keep saying things like before, it will hurt my feelings; Iâll feel like youâre treating me like a fool!â
Kang Li pursed her lips tightly, her expression full of grievance.
Seeing this, Kang Guoanâs heart ached in an instant, and he modified his tone, âAlright, alright, Iâll wait for you at the entrance of the state-run restaurant, but you must ensure your safety and never go off with strangers.â
âI promise to do that.â
Kang Li beamed with joy.
âYouâre just stubborn!â
Kang Guoanâs eyes softened, and he added, âRemember to secure your money and coupons well, donât let pickpockets find them.â
âBrother, donât worry, Iâm very careful!â
With that, Kang Li walked leisurely alongside Kang Guoan to the entrance of the department store, then waved at Kang Guoan, âLetâs split up here. See you later at the entrance of the state-run restaurant.â
As her voice faded, Kang Li stepped up the stairs and entered the department store.
She bought brown sugar and black sugar for the family and a pack of White Rabbit candies for her nephews, and then surreptitiously transferred the pre-selected clothes and socks into her cloth bag through her awareness.
Everything was sorted in less than twenty minutes, and she left the department store.
The clothes that Kang Li had drawn in the big gift earlier, she directly put into the System space and didnât take them out, not because she didnât want to, but because she had no reasonable excuse.
âDid you get everything?â
Seeing Kang Li, Kang Guoan quickly walked over, holding the cloth bag, âWhat did you buy that you filled the cloth bag so full? And two of them, youâ¦â
Catching sight of Kang Liâs bulging large cloth bag, Kang Guoan slightly knitted his brows, âYou didnât spend all your saved money, did you?â
âNo, no, I ran into an old lady at the department store. As soon as she saw me, she said I caught her eye. When she heard I was buying clothes for my family, she didnât hesitate and dragged me to meet her daughter,
