The tall adult and the tiny child stood side by side, listening to the grandmother explain how to use the scale.
Xie Bei's brows were tightly furrowed as he closely observed the grandmother's movements, silently repeating the steps in his head.
Only after her fourth explanation did he finally grasp the basic operation.
Lu Yinghan was eager to give it a try. The grandmother glanced at her and stepped aside to let her take the spot.
Stepping forward, Lu Yinghan slowly pressed the buttons according to what the grandmother had just taught them. Pretending she had just learned it on the spot, she completed the whole process flawlessly on her first attempt.
Xie Bei looked at Lu Yinghan with a complex expression, then down at his own hands.
【Hahaha, our Big Brother is starting to question his life choices.】
【Dying of laughter! Lu Yinghan's performance yesterday set the stage for her taking care of Xie Bei from now on.】
【Tsk tsk tsk, look at their techniques. Lu Yinghan's movements are clearly more skilled than Xie Bei's.】
【Huh? Has Lu Yinghan done this before too?】
【It's not impossible! Look at how adept she is at cooking and buying groceries. It feels like she's used a scale like this before.】
【I think so too.】
Seeing Xie Bei's face, the netizens mocked him mercilessly.
The grandmother also looked up and involuntarily glanced at Xie Bei.
However, she didn't say anything. She merely gave Xie Bei a light push. “Alright, go over there and get to work.”
Standing directly in front of the vegetable stall, Xie Bei instantly felt gazes locking onto him from every direction.
The grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, and aunties curiously eyed this handsome young boy before them, along with Lu Yinghan standing beside him.
Because the stall was surrounded by cameras, no passersby dared to casually step up and buy anything.
Despite being such a large vegetable stall, it surprisingly had fewer customers than the makeshift street vendors around them.
The place was completely deserted.
The grandmother had been instructed to stand aside and watch them operate, unable to offer a single hint, serving only as an assistant.
Xie Bei and Lu Yinghan instantly found themselves in an awkward predicament.
Lu Yinghan surveyed her surroundings; people were buying vegetables elsewhere while sneaking glances in their direction.
She understood the locals here. When people were unsure of the situation, no one would be the first to step forward.
She hopped off her little stool and began looking for someone who could break the ice.
Xie Bei wanted to call her back. The moment Lu Yinghan left, he would be left all by himself!
He was feeling a bit embarrassed!
The tiny child, wearing a pink apron, bustled through the crowd with her little footsteps.
Lu Yinghan's PD quickly followed close behind her.
She kept scanning for friendly-looking people who were planning to buy vegetables.
Her sharp, lively eyes searched through the crowd, finally landing on a middle-aged woman who was neatly dressed and full of energy.
“Good morning, Auntie!” Lu Yinghan greeted.
The woman, stopped by Lu Yinghan, was immediately drawn in. She leaned down slightly with a warm, gentle smile, her tone softening and her eyes sparkling with delight.
“Aw, good morning, little kiddo! Is something the matter?”
Naturally, the woman noticed the camera crew beside Lu Yinghan, so she quickly adjusted her expression and posture.
It was working!
Lu Yinghan rushed forward and held onto the woman's hand, refusing to let go.
“Auntie, are you going to buy vegetables? Could you come buy them at my grandma's stall?”
The auntie raised her brows in surprise. The little girl wasn't letting go of her hand, clearly determined to pull her over.
With the cameras filming and such an adorable child leading the way so early in the morning, the woman beamed happily and followed Lu Yinghan.
Sure enough, after just a few steps, they reached the largest vegetable stall in the area, surrounded by the production crew and a crowd of onlookers.
Panting slightly, Lu Yinghan tugged her hard-earned customer right in front of the stall.
“Auntie, this is my grandma's stall. Take a look and see if there's anything you like!”
Under the gaze of the crowd, the auntie's movements became noticeably more refined.
Guided by Lu Yinghan, she selected the vegetables she wanted with a smile.
Lu Yinghan then turned toward the outside crowd and called out, “Grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, and aunties! Our vegetables are super fresh! You're all welcome to come check them out!”
With one customer breaking the ice, a second soon stepped forward, followed by more and more.
The stall quickly became crowded.
【Told you! We still have to rely on Lu Yinghan!】
【This kid really is here to bless Xie Bei.】
【She even knows how to pull in customers, hahahaha!】
【That sweet little voice is so effective, plus she holds your hand as you walk—I wouldn't be able to refuse either!】
The stall suddenly bustled with activity as people squeezed in to choose their vegetables.
Xie Bei was completely flustered and even messed up the calculations several times along the way.
The grandmother stood to the side helping pack the vegetables. Catching sight of Xie Bei's clumsy attempts out of the corner of her eye, she immediately turned to Lu Yinghan, who was handing out paper bags to customers.
“Little girl, you handle the calculations. Let your father take over handing out the food at the front.”
“Ah, okay, Grandma!”
Lu Yinghan slipped right back into the mindset of her past life's work, responding completely naturally.
She didn't even realize what a major shift the grandmother had just suggested.
Even the passersby buying vegetables began to feel a bit curious.
“Hey! Can this little girl really handle that?”
“How interesting! What if she calculates it wrong?”
As the crowd kept growing and time was tight, Lu Yinghan got straight to work.
Her practiced, steady technique left everyone wide-eyed.
Those who had finished buying their produce didn't leave; they hung around nearby to watch.
By seven-thirty in the morning, the old grandmother's vegetable stall had become the main spectacle drawing everyone's eyes.
As the crowd swelled, the produce on the stall rapidly thinned out.
Xie Bei looked at Lu Yinghan skillfully calculating prices for the customers, his heart brimming with unspoken thoughts, but he kept his mouth shut.
He would ask her after they finished.
At the exact same time, Lu Xiong and Lu Yue, who had both woken up early, happened to be watching the live stream again.
When Lu Xiong saw Lu Yinghan going out to beg people to buy vegetables,
he shoved Lu Yue directly.
“Bring her back right now!! Look at her, does that look proper to you?!”
“Dad...”
Before Lu Yue could finish, Lu Xiong cut him off with an even harsher tone.
“If it were you sent off to sell vegetables, see if you'd be willing to do it!”
Lu Xiong's words were a blatant threat aimed at Lu Yue.
If he didn't bring Lu Yinghan home, he would be the next one selling vegetables.
But how could the pampered Lu Yue ever do such a thing?
He could only frown and try to explain to Lu Xiong,
“Dad, all the netizens are saying how great Lu Yinghan is and how sensible she is. If we bring her back right now, what will people think? That the Lu family plays diva moves?”
Indeed, the netizens' opinions of Lu Yinghan were overwhelmingly positive, and the public impression of the Lu family had risen along with it.
Lu Xiong grumpily started to object, but looking at everyone's praise for Lu Yinghan, he ultimately shut his mouth.
“Once this episode is over, bring her back immediately! If something like this happens next time and you let her go again, don't bother coming back yourself either!”
The dignity of the Lu family could not be tainted by such things!
Lu Yue's brows furrowed tightly.
Gripping the phone in his hand tighter, he still didn't say anything.
