Off to the Family Dinner

"Please come again!"

A sales assistant carried six or seven shopping bags to the door for them and bowed as they left.

Zhang Yang smiled. Carrying the bags was hard work, so naturally it fell to him. He took the pile of purchases, nodded, and walked out.

Space was precious in a big mall, and the two stores stood close together. If not for the glass display windows between them, each store could have heard everything said in the other.

The assistants across the way stared wide-eyed as Zhang Yang emerged with six or seven bags.

As soon as he and the others left, the assistants who had served them high-fived and cheered.

The commission on that sale came to several thousand yuan. It might not be much to some, but for a sales assistant, it was enough to make life a little easier—and treat everyone in the store to a feast.

The assistant who had lost the customers felt awful.

"Mom, let's keep going."

For someone with Zhang Yang's means, shopping was more than spending money. It was recreation, an experience that added color to life and broke up the routine.

Cheng Dongxue wasn't ready to stop. She had rarely gone shopping properly before. She had bought many of her clothes and skincare products online, even relying on resellers for major brands. When had she ever had time to browse the stores herself?

"Xiao Yang..."

Zhang Yang followed behind with the bags. Liu Mei felt sorry for her son and looked back at him.

"Xiao Xue, let's shop another time. Xiao Yang's probably tired of walking."

She had a point. They hadn't just bought clothes. Zhang Yang now held bags of skincare products, clothing, and assorted other purchases he was too embarrassed to mention.

Besides, it was getting late.
