Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Annoying brat, are you blind? This plate looks like a cockscomb flower, how is it nice? Are you not afraid of having nightmares when you hang it on the wall?”

“One hundred dollars? Even ten dollars is too much.”

Little Tong Hua was speechless.

This is enough, affecting my shopping mood.

It is time to let you experience the world’s number one troll’s power.

“Shut up!” Tong Hua shouted.

“Are you rebelling against me!” Ye Ling refused to admit defeat. He lifted his shirt collar and said, “I will throw you here to fend for yourself.”

“My Mommy will kill you.”

Both of them stared at each other.

The shopkeeper said, “So do you guys still want to buy?”

“No,” both of them said at the same time.

Shen Qianshu silently backed away, reciting three times in her heart.

Controlling.

Control.

I need to control myself.

Although Ye Ling gave sarcastic remarks throughout, both mother and son were still rewarded with many purchases. Tong Hua bought a blue copper water lamp, and when powered up, it would seem like there were fishes swimming inside the lamp, giving off a rippling effect. It was really beautiful.

The lamp was fully handmade by a Turkish old man.

Ye Ling found the place too crowded and noisy.

They shopped for a long time and wandered further away. The shops here were deserted and had fewer people since everyone was gathered at the entrance of the main road. The lamp was not considered cheap; it was 600 RMB, but Shen Qianshu paid for it without much thought.

Ye Ling surprisingly did not pick any faults with her actions.

This handmade water lamp was indeed beautiful.

Tong Hua’s first purchase was really precious to him, but tragically, he realized something.

He was not able to carry it.

Shen Qianshu took it from him, and it was also too heavy for her.

He could not bear to let his Mommy suffer.

Tong Hua tugged on Ye Ling’s sleeves and said, “Daddy, please help me carry it.”

His voice was as sweet as honey.

Ye Ling said, “Such a cunning face, who are you trying to disgust?”

“Daddy…”

“Stop your disgusting voice right now.” Ye Ling roughly snatched over the water lamp. Tong Hua snapped his fingers in satisfaction and scoffed. “My voice sounds as nice as Mommy’s, are you despising her?”

“…” Shen Qianshu gave a flick on her son’s forehead.

Tong Hua saw a vase as tall as him and was deeply drawn to it.

“Wow…”

“Dream on if you expect me to take it for you.” Before Tong Hua could even ask for the price, Ye Ling rejected him straight away. The vase was big and bulky, and there was no way he was going to help him take it. Although Tong Hua was small in size, he liked things that were big in size. Meanwhile, all the things Shen Qianshu that liked were small.

“Can you send this through delivery?”

This type of vase was also a handmade flower vase, but Turkey’s workmanship was not considered exquisite.

Shen Qianshu said, “When we go back to Jingdezhen, I will buy you lots of them. Buying porcelain from Turkey, do you know that you are disgracing China’s porcelain market?”

“But it’s beautiful.”

Tong Hua saw a set of teacups and happily paid for it.

Ye Ling was livid. Why did this annoying brat like to buy big items so much?

The three walked further and further and were now mainly at the handiwork section.

In front of a jewelry store, Shen Qianshu was attracted by a bracelet.

“Copper pectolite…” Shen Qianshu lifted up the bracelet, it was a really unique sea blue jewel and had a title of the jewel of the sea. Normally, this kind of gemstone would be made into a pendant due to the limited production. It was rarely made into a bracelet as it needed to be grounded and stringed into a strand for it to look beautiful.

This bracelet was stringed together by black crystals, and in the middle of it was a sea blue copper pectolite. The stone was pure and had a beautiful color. The square copper pectolite stone looked like a small mahjong tile, making it seem really special.

Shen Qianshu was deeply fascinated by it. Ye Ling took a look at her.

“What a loser, always drooling over such stuff.” Ye Ling took the stone, looked at it, and remained silent. Shen Qianshu asked for the price, but the old granny neither knew how to speak English nor Chinese and only punched a string of numbers into the calculator.

20000 Turkish lira.
