Gu'er woke up early the next day, got ready, and went into the city.
This time, she didn't bring her cart, just a back basket with some green onions. She had wanted to sell some vegetables on the side—even an extra dime would be nice—but she really didn't have the time.
When she arrived at the spot where she was supposed to meet Aunt Wang, Gu'er looked around. Aunt Wang hadn't arrived yet.
She didn't have a watch, so she didn't know what time it was, but she figured it had to be close.
Gu'er wasn't worried. If the person wasn't there, she would just wait.
Before long, Gu'er saw Aunt Wang hurrying over.
"Gu'er, you're here! Did you bring the green onions for me?"
Aunt Wang had learned Gu'er's name yesterday.
"I brought them, Auntie. Take a look and see if this is enough."
Gu'er held out the back basket for Aunt Wang to see.
"It's enough, more than enough. Come on, follow me home."
Aunt Wang took a look, saw it was roughly enough, and nodded, leading Gu'er toward her house.
