Chapter 51 - Shopping (3)
“Thank you. I wanted to have a couple sets of outfits made. Do you have any recomndations on what type of fabrics to use?” Shu Yan had no idea when it ca to this area.
Shu Yan saw a clean-looking floral pattern fabric. She touched it; it was quite comfortable. She bought so of those as well. She could make a set of pajamas for both herself and Ye Jingjing. Any remaining fabric could be turned into another skirt for Ye Jingjing.
They were about to move soon. There was nothing in their new place. They would need to prepare for sheets and comforter covers as well.
“What do you recomnd for bed sheets and comforter covers?”
The woman recomnded a couple different types of fabric, and Shu Yan picked a few that she liked in terms of patterns and material. A couple sets to start. Ye Jingjing could sleep on her own and Ye Tianbao was still young and would be sleeping with her.
When she walked past the shoe store, Shu Yan looked at their shoes. They were so outdated it wasn’t even funny. She picked a pair of leather shoes and a pair of canvas shoes for herself, and a pair of sandals and a pair of leather shoes for Ye Jingjing. Her original plan was to buy a pair of canvas shoes for Ye Tianbao as his shoe budget was quite high. But, he insisted on a pair of leather shoes and whined about it.
Shu Yan finally gave in and bought a pair of leather shoes for him. Looking at how gentlemanly he looked in his new shoes, Shu Yan shook her head, resigned.
It was easy finding the tailor shop behind the mall. The tailor was an older man from City Nan. Shu Yan told him what she wanted and he took the asurents of Ye Jingjing and had her co to pick them up in two days’ ti.
“Thank you, Master. How much is the deposit?”
“$20. Keep this receipt. Show this when you return to pick up your items.”

“Oh mi, you are finally back. The landlord agreed to rent to you for $80 a month and he is waiting for you at the apartnt right now. You will be able to move in as soon as you signed the contract today,” said Old Hu as he jogged up to Shu Yan after spotting her from a distance.
“Oh, I thought we wouldn’t hear back till tomorrow so I took the kids shopping.” Shu Yan smiled. “Let take them back upstairs first. I will be right back.”
After telling the two kids to stay inside, Shu Yan went with Old Hu to et with the landlord at the apartnt.
One month’s deposit and three months’ rent up front. That ca to $320 at $80/month. The contract was simple. Shu Yan skimd through it and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. She signed the contract right away and paid Old Hu another $10 after she had received the house key.
There was nothing in the house other than two beds. They’d need a lot more stuff before moving in. It was already getting late today so she’d clean up and move in tomorrow.
The three of them have had so much food in the afternoon that none of them were hungry. Shu Yan bathed Ye Tianbao before letting the sister-brother duo go off and play on their own. Shu Yan decided to take a look at how much she has spent in the last couple of days and how much she has remaining.
