Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 749: Chapter 743: Buying Gifts

An Hao picked up the books because of what Qin Xue said. She picked up more because the covers were different.

“An Hao, are you planning to take home the entire collection of their poetry?” Qin Xue asked, seeing the books in her hands. It was a bit frightening. If you wanted to read them, it would be better to buy a couple first and then come back to buy more after finishing them.

“You said they were good, so I picked them up when I saw them.” An Hao looked at Qin Xue, puzzled by her words. Wasn’t it good? Was Qin Xue just teasing her?

“Can you finish reading all of them if you buy so many? Don’t take so many, just take two. Put the rest back, and I’ll introduce you to other good books later.” Qin Xue took two books from her hands, along with the one she picked for Mrs. Li, and left the rest.

“Oh, I see. Alright, I’ll take your advice.” An Hao thought she indeed picked up too many, and followed Qin Xue’s advice to put them back.

As the three of them went to check out, the bookstore owner glanced at Qin Xue several times, which made them feel a bit confused.

...
“Is there any problem, boss?” Qin Xue couldn’t help but ask.

“How did you choose these books?” The owner thought they were good books, but not many people knew about them, and fewer people could appreciate this type of book.

“Boss, if you want your business to be good, you can put these books outside. As long as people see them, your business will definitely be very good.” Qin Xue knew that these books were famous, both now and in the future, yet the owner didn’t know what was going on and kept them inside instead of putting them where people could easily see them.

“I know that, but during the years of struggle, who dared to put them out? I kept them hidden to avoid trouble. It’s only because of the change in policy that I dared to bring them out. I didn’t expect you to find them there.” The owner didn’t want to lose business, but it was a difficult situation. Now that college entrance exams were restored, books slowly picked up again. Otherwise, with conditions like before, he would not need to open a bookstore and would have been caught and struggled against long ago.

“Oh, I see. Sorry for misunderstanding you. Don’t worry, times have changed, and life will get better.” After saying this, Qin Xue left with An Hao and Qiao.

The bookstore owner looked at their receding figures and seemed lost in thought. Perhaps this was fate, and some things were truly unavoidable.

“Sis-in-law, where are we going now?” Chu Xiaoqiao asked Qin Xue, feeling exhausted from holding the child.

“We’re going to buy tea leaves and wine.” Qin Xue looked at Chu Xiaoqiao and replied.

“Alright, let’s go quickly then.” Chu Xiaoqiao wanted to sit down now.

“Okay, are you tired?” Qin Xue thought Chu Xiaoqiao must be exhausted, having held the child for a while, and even her own hands were a bit sore by now.

“It’s fine. Let’s quickly finish shopping and get back.” Chu Xiaoqiao smiled, not expecting that holding a child would be so tiring, especially holding a small baby horizontally with both hands, which made her arms feel sore.

“Alright, if you can’t hold her anymore, let’s find a place to rest for a while.” Qin Xue understood that it was difficult for Chu Xiaoqiao since she wasn’t used to holding a child.

“No need, let’s just hurry back. Otherwise, who knows how long it’ll take, and what if the child gets hungry?” Chu Xiaoqiao was afraid that if they took too long, the baby would become hungry.

“Alright, then. Why don’t you sit under that tree and wait for me? I’ll go buy the stuff myself.” Qin Xue thought this way; only she would get tired, not all three of them.

“That doesn’t seem too good.” Chu Xiaoqiao knew that her sister-in-law hadn’t been out shopping here before. What if she got lost? If that happened and her brother found out, he would be furious with her. Chu Xiaoqiao thought about it and decided not to agree with Qin Xue’s suggestion.
