“Young lady, I heard that you just moved here. You want to buy something to settle down, right?” The dumpling stall owner scooped up dumplings and quickly placed them on the table for Sun Qing.

Sun Qing rolled her eyes and followed the dumpling stall owner’s words.

“That’s right. I’m the only one at home who’s free. My partner is at work, I don’t want to delay him from earning money!” Sun Qing’s domineering tone was delicate, causing the dumpling stall owner to laugh.

The dumpling stall owner smiled and joked, “I was just thinking that if such a beautiful girl doesn’t have a boyfriend, I would have introduced one to her. I didn’t expect you to be married at such a young age!”

As Sun Qing ate, she smiled and replied, “Yes, beautiful girls need to be married early!”

The corner of the dumpling stall owner’s mouth twitched. She had never seen anyone praise themselves in his life.

She was good-looking and had a glib tongue. Ordinary people couldn’t subdue such a powerful person!

After joking around, the dumpling stall owner began to talk about serious matters. “Young lady, do you have a lot of things to buy? To be honest, my old husband rides a tricycle to deliver goods to people on the street. He has no work today, so if you buy anything, you can get him to send it to you!”

Sun Qing’s eyes lit up. She had wondered what her motive was, but it turned out that she wanted to take care of business.

Coincidentally, she was worried about how to get the liquefied gas canister home.

“Auntie, you’re the best. I was just worried about how to bring the gas canister home.” Sun Qing looked at the dumpling stall owner gratefully.

The dumpling stall owner immediately felt embarrassed. She wasn’t offering her husband’s service for free.

Now that the young lady had said this, she was a little embarrassed to mention money!

“Auntie, I don’t know where there’s a liquefied gas canister. I still have something to do at the bank later. Can you get Uncle to buy the canister and send it over to my house? I’ll give you 10 yuan as compensation for the hard work, okay?” Sun Qing discussed this with the boss seriously.

When the dumpling stall owner heard this, she quickly waved her hand.

“It won’t cost 10 yuan, you can just give me one yuan. It’s sold on the street and will only take seven or eight minutes from here to there.”

When Sun Qing heard this, she immediately changed her mind. She happened to follow them to choose.

“How can it be one yuan? I still want Uncle to lead me to buy tables, chairs, and benches. I’m too embarrassed to ask Uncle to work for one yuan.”

The owner of the dumpling stall was amused and immediately laughed. “The two of us live nearby and will see each other often in the future. We’re all neighbors, so one yuan is enough.”

Sun Qing held up five fingers and insisted, “Five yuan. If it’s any less, I’ll find someone else!”

Those working in the factory only earned 20 to 30 yuan a month. To earn five yuan in less than an hour was definitely a good thing!

The owner of the dumpling stall didn’t refuse when she heard this. She smiled and waved at the children playing on the street, asking them to call for help.

Sun Qing’s sharp eyes saw that the bank had opened. She sped up and ate the dumplings in two or three bites.

It was delicious and the ingredients weren’t inferior to her homemade dumplings at all!

She put down the dumpling money, greeted the dumpling stall owner, and rushed to the bank.

After applying for a card and depositing 2,000 yuan into it, she saved the remaining 400 yuan as a backup. In this day and age, there weren’t many people who went to the bank to do business, so she was the first to enter. After spending more than 10 minutes, she immediately went straight to the dumpling stall.

Beside the owner of the dumpling stall was a smiling middle-aged man in his 40s. Standing beside the owner of the dumpling stall, they had a couple face. Needless to say, he was definitely the owner’s partner.

“Uncle, Auntie, I’m here!” Sun Qing greeted him crisply.

When the owner of the dumpling stall saw Sun Qing, he immediately joked, “Just now, my wife said there’s a little girl who looked like a fairy. I didn’t believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
