The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 57 - Before New Year (2)_1

Old Master Situ sighed inwardly as he looked at his eldest grandson who was usually colder than his father.

Ah, it was only when around Situ Xin that he showed any expression.

Before leaving the house, Situ Xin was wrapped by her mother in a thick cotton-padded jacket and then covered with a wool blanket on the outside.

Situ Xin looked at her attire, feeling quite helpless—she had turned into a complete ball.

After a thorough list of cautions from Old Master Situ to Situ Haoran and the others, they finally set off.

Situ Xin was held by Haotian and took the co-driver’s seat in the car.

As the car drove out of the military compound, her heart fluttered with excitement.

She was finally out and about to see what the Capital City of Country H looked like in this era.

Haotian saw Situ Xin with her big eyes wide open, looking expectantly at the scenery outside the window.

Watching her serious expression, he said, “Baby, is the scenery outside beautiful?”

Hearing Haotian’s question, Situ Xin didn’t take her gaze away but nodded instead.

Actually, from Situ Xin’s aesthetic point of view, the Capital City at this time could not be considered beautiful; it was nothing like the Capital City she remembered— the surrounding buildings were all old and the skyscrapers were gone, replaced by low two-story buildings.

Yet even so, Situ Xin was absorbed in the view, because she was happy at the moment, and this happiness made even these scenes appear beautiful to her.

“Does Xiao Xin like it?

Brother will often take you out to play in the future,” Situ Che said, moved by the joy on Situ Xin’s face.

“Yes, thank you Brother Che,” Situ Xin turned her attention from the window and sweetly thanked Situ Che.

“And me, and me,” Situ Jin also chimed in eagerly.

The car arrived at the largest wholesale market in Capital City.

With the New Year approaching, the market was especially crowded.

When Situ Xin saw the sea of people from the car window, she felt a headache coming on.

She was already regretting coming out.

In her previous life, Situ Xin disliked shopping in crowded places.

“Alright, Baby, let’s wrap the blanket well.

Don’t catch a cold,” Haotian made sure Situ Xin’s blanket was properly wrapped around her before getting out of the car.

On the way there, Situ Xin had only paid attention to the scenery and buildings around her.

She hadn’t really noticed the clothes of the pedestrians on the street.

Now, looking at what the passersby were wearing, she frowned.

Back at home, the men in the Situ family, including Old Master Situ, always wore military uniforms, and though Loo Yaxin and the others wore clothes that, in Situ Xin’s eyes, were out of fashion, at least they were passable and fit them well.

But the clothes on the pedestrians in front of her were all dull in color, and what struck Situ Xin most was that they were huge, hanging off their bodies, not fitting correctly, with no style to speak of.

What Situ Xin didn’t know was that at this point in time, Country H’s economy had yet to recover, and the standard of living for the people across the country was quite poor.

Being able to have enough food and warmth each day was already quite good, not to mention paying attention to the clothes they wore.

As long as their clothes were warm and without holes, that was enough.

And the clothes that the Situ family usually wore were not available domestically.

Situ Xin’s uncle, Loo Jianxin, had started a business abroad, so the family’s clothing was either brought back by him or shipped back.

Even the little outfits on Situ Xin were provided by Loo Jianxin and his wife when they learned that their sister had given birth to a daughter.

Situ Che’s attention had always been on Situ Xin, and noticing her frowning, he quickly approached Haotian and asked with concern, “Xiao Xin, why are you frowning?”

Upon hearing Situ Che’s voice, Situ Xin quickly shifted her focus from the people’s clothes and smoothed out her brow, saying, “There are so many people.”

“Hehe, so Xiao Xin was frowning because of the crowd,” Situ Che didn’t expect his sister to dislike crowded places like him.

“No worries, later, Brother will protect you, so you won’t get squeezed.”

“Yes, thank you, Brother Che,” Situ Xin struggled out of Haotian’s arms to get close to Situ Che and kissed him on the face.

“Okay, Baby, we’re about to set out.

Stay good in Dad’s arms,” Haotian said, feeling a little sour seeing his daughter kiss Situ Che.

She was his precious daughter, how could she kiss someone else?

“Che, Hao.

It’s crowded, so you two make sure to keep up with us.

If you get lost, we’re not responsible for finding you,” The Situ family’s education for the boys was strict, with hardly any coddling.

“Got it, Uncle, you’re really naggy,” Situ Jin looked at Situ Haoran with an expression that said, “You talk too much.”

The wholesale market really was crowded.

While it wasn’t to the point of being packed like sardines, it was impossible to walk fast here.

But fortunately, Situ Haoran and Haotian were quite familiar with the wholesale market.

It didn’t take long before they entered a shop.

“Commander, you’ve come.

What would you like this time?” As soon as Situ Xin and the others walked in, someone came up to greet Haotian and Haoran.

The person who came up to greet them was a plump middle-aged woman in her forties.
