31 Why is my husband so extravagant?

"It's getting late," Zhao Youcai thought.

"Uncle Zhao, are we going to walk all the way back?" asked Zhao Ce.

Originally, Zhao Youcai wanted to rent a cart and go back with Zhao Ce, but as they reached the city gate, he didn't see any carts waiting.

"Let's go, I forgot that no carts are going back at this time of the day" replied Zhao Youcai.

"Okay," said Zhao Ce, the two of them had to walk back.

They saw a group of monks standing at the gate, with a well-fed, red-faced monk at the forefront. Zhao Youcai quickly clasped his hands together and bowed to the group of monks. Zhao Ce also took a glance at them. The big monk chanted "Amitabha" to the two of them, before leading the other monks into the city. Zhao Youcai seemed to be in a better mood after that encounter.

Zhao Youcai also remembered what his eldest son said about wanting to talk to Zhao Ce about the sugar business, but he didn't bring it up yet.

He had intended to help Zhao Ce carry his things, but Zhao Ce waved him off, saying he was young and strong enough to carry them himself.

Zhao Youcai nodded and told Zhao Ce to focus on living a good life in the village and not to worry about things in the city.

Zhao Ce didn't complain of being tired at all during their walk and they continued steadily toward the village.

When they arrived back in the village, it was dinnertime and most people were at home.

Zhao Ce's wife peeked out from behind the door looking nervous searching and waiting for her husband, before hiding again.

"Tomorrow, I'll have someone pass along a message to your brother about the school," said Zhao Youcai.

"Thank you, uncle," replied Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce noticed the small figure peeking out from behind the door, picked up his pace, and went toward his house. Zhao Youcai was curious about why Zhao Ce was in a hurry and looked up to see Zhao Ce's door slightly open. Was he worried about someone stealing from his house? Zhao Youcai chuckled to himself and thought that it was broad daylight, so there was no need to worry about theft then took a different direction to go back to his own home.

The little girl peeked again and when she saw Zhao Ce coming, a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Husband! You're back!" Zhao Ce nodded "I'm home", feeling happy that there is someone at home waiting for him.

She asked if everything was taken care of. He replied that he had been delayed but had brought back everything that he wanted. After speaking, he refused the little girl's help. Holding the things in his hand, he strode into the house, placing them on the table.

Su Caier was completely unaffected by her legs. Her footsteps were fast as she took a cloth to wipe the sweat, wetting it before handing it to her husband.

Afterward, she moved the book box to a corner and then turned to go into the kitchen to bring Zhao Ce a bowl of water. Zhao Ce wiped his face with the cloth and drank the cool liquid, feeling much more comfortable.

He sighed and lifted his dress, fanning himself. Looking at the diligent little bee in front of him, Zhao Ce smiled and said, "It's finally a bit cooler."

Su Caier nodded her little head. "It's too hot today. It's probably going to rain in a few days." "Tomorrow when my husband goes out, he must bring rain gear,"

Zhao Ce said, shaking his head. "I probably won't be going out these few days." Su Caier tilted her little head, seeming to be thinking about how he would attend his classes if he didn't go out. Zhao Ce continued, "We'll wait for Uncle and cousin to inquire again in the city and find a new teacher."

Su Caier nodded her little head. She didn't understand the matter of studying. Since Uncle was helping, there shouldn't be any problem.

Over there, Zhao Ce was already pointing to the cloth on the table and saying, "I bought a lot of cloth again. You take a look and see what's best." Su Caier was happy to see the cloth on the table and said, "Husband bought so much cloth. Two pieces of rough hemp and two pieces of good cloth can make two sets of undergarments for you..." The young girl was taking inventory and planning in her mind how to deal with these fabrics.

However, Zhao Ce interrupted her directly. "Except for these two pieces of rough hemp, the rest are all for you." Su Caier said, "Huh?" "But husband just bought me new cloth, and I haven't made any clothes yet." "Why did you buy new ones again?"

Zhao Ce explained, "The shopkeeper said these fabrics are good and suitable for making intimate clothing for wives." "I don't understand much about these things, so you take a look and decide how to make them." Su Caier's little face was blushing. "M-make intimate clothing?" She glanced up at her husband before quickly lowering her gaze. Her long eyelashes trembled lightly, and her face was full of shyness. Her little earlobes were also red. Husband...Why are you so extravagant?

He even bought good cloth to make close-fitting clothes for her...

Zhao Ce cleared his throat when he saw this. He really didn't think much of it. It was just an undershirt. When the two of them slept at night, they both wore the same outfit, right? For Zhao Ce, it was like pajamas.

Not to mention women who wear revealing nightwear. Various cleavage-baring and thigh-revealing outfits can be seen everywhere on the Internet and even in reality. But seeing the innocent little girl acting like a shy wife, Zhao Ce couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, after Su Caier became shy, she felt a little distressed. These good cloths must be expensive, right?

She whispered, "Husband, I don't need such good cloth." "This is too wasteful of money." Her husband was too good to her... It had only been a few days since they married.

She hadn't done anything yet, but her husband had already bought so much good cloth for her to make new clothes. After thinking for a moment, Su Caier suddenly had an idea. The color of this cloth was light. It could probably be made into a man's undershirt! Then just make it for her husband directly!

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "It's okay, we've already bought it." "Let's just use it."

The little girl didn't object again and nodded her head.

As Zhao Ce spoke, he remembered that the shopkeeper had also given him some extras. He rummaged through the bookcase and took out a small sewing kit. There was also a long cloth tape for measuring.

"The shopkeeper also gave me some extras, see if you can use them."

Su Caier took it with joy and opened the sewing kit to take a look. There were two rolls of thread, with a needle inserted in each one.

She squinted her eyes happily."A new sewing kit!" "I can use this to make new clothes for my husband."

That little girl's expression was much happier than when she received new cloth herself.

Zhao Ce couldn't help but smile. The charm of new clothes couldn't compare to that of a new sewing kit.

If he bought a new set of farming tools for this little girl, would she be so happy that she wouldn't know where North was?
