Yu Chunmiao understood immediately that when the protected party was Lu Zi, it was a different story.
"Wait!" Yu Chunmiao said, "If your leg was like that back then, why didn't you go find him for help?"
Qi Chong had been holding back for a long time before he replied, "If you don't come, I'll go myself."
Yu Chunmiao guessed that he was too proud to ask for help until the last moment. It was also true that the younger brother who used to follow her around as a child couldn't show any weakness.
Understanding but not saying it aloud, she appreciated Qi Chong's unwillingness to seek favors and gave him a brief yet deep kiss.
The next morning, while taking Qi Rong to school, he kept asking about Qian Duo Duo's condition. When he learned that Qian Duo Duo had already been catching thieves at midnight, he felt a rush of longing.
Yu Chunmiao ruffled his hair and said, "You can go home in November; by then, it will be all grown up."
Qi Rong became worried. "I wonder if it will still recognize me."
"It will!" Qi Chong assured him. "Every time we come home from outside, it's always looking for you."
Qi Rong felt both happy and heartbroken, eagerly anticipating November's arrival.
After teaching the pastry chef some skills, Yu Chunmiao left behind a written recipe and felt a strong desire to return home.
Just as they boarded the donkey cart, Qi Chong said, "Let's go buy some gifts; tomorrow is Yuan Er's birthday."
Yu Chunmiao quickly asked, "What does Yuan Er like? Something to eat? Clothes?"
Qi Chong seemed a bit embarrassed. "For our birthdays, Dad just cooks us a bowl of noodles; all the gifts go to Mom."
"Your dad is truly an amazing man!" Yu Chunmiao exclaimed. "For us girls, our birthdays are just a day of suffering for Qi Qin. In our time, everyone understood this logic, but very few focused on Qi Qin during birthdays. Your dad really loves your mom from the bottom of his heart."
Leaning closer to her ear, Qi Chong whispered, "In the future, for our children's birthdays, I’ll buy you gifts too."
Without thinking twice, Yu Chunmiao excitedly replied, "Then I want to have Duo Duo! That way there will be Duo Duo gifts every year!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed something off in Qi Chong's expression; he seemed to be lost in thought about something unspoken.
But after a moment, he collected himself and said, "Don't have too many; it will hurt."
When Qi Qin gave birth to his younger brother, he was already ten years old and had been anxious outside with his father. He would never forget how his father squatted on the ground with his large frame, holding his head in despair.
The two decided to buy some jewelry for Chen Ruolan; she had sold all her jewelry to pay for Qi Fu's medical treatment.
The two entered the jewelry store, carefully browsing through the items.
"Boss, do you have any hairpins or bracelets with orchid patterns?" Yu Chunmiao asked as soon as she stepped inside. She knew that Chen Ruolan was currently wearing a wooden hairpin made by her father, which had already cracked, and she wanted to put it away and stop wearing it.
The shopkeeper immediately presented several pieces of jewelry, all adorned with orchid designs. There were gold and silver bracelets and hairpins available.
In this era, silver jewelry was priced similarly to silver ingots; a piece of silver jewelry could be three times more expensive than its weight in silver. The better the craftsmanship, the higher the price.
Yu Chunmiao's eyes lit up when she spotted a Silver and Jade Hairpin. The exposed part of the pin featured Orchid Leaves, with several petals encasing a translucent white jade stone.
"This one!" Yu Chunmiao declared enthusiastically.
"Great choice!" The shopkeeper replied, holding up the hairpin. "The pin weighs eight taels of silver and costs one tael and two coins."
Yu Chunmiao glanced at it and said, "This jade stone is so small, and it's not even jadeite. Is it really worth one tael? Can you lower the price?"
After several rounds of haggling, they settled on a price of one tael and eight coins.
