Chapter 746 You Treat Me and I Give You Gifts, I Don’t Mind the Slobber Trumpet
What do you mean, the child is over one year old, and the mother is only a teenager? Xiao Qi was a little confused when she heard this!
Then she suddenly understood what was going on, and was so embarrassed that she immediately hugged the child and took a few quick steps to hide behind Yuanxiao, so that no one could see her. Yuanxiao was busy cooking spicy soup and adding seasonings, and did not hear these words.
"Look, how loving the young couple is! They even get together when setting up the stall." The middle-aged man passing by sighed softly.
"What do you mean, old man? Am I not with you now?" The middle-aged woman next to him said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I didn't say it well, let's go home quickly."
"No, I'm hungry, I want to eat fried buns and drink spicy soup, buy it for me! Just so you can see enough here!"
"Oh, she's pretty, I'll take a look at her, what's the big deal? Okay, boss, give me two bowls of spicy soup and 20 fried buns!" The middle-aged man begged for mercy while loudly asking for things.
"Okay, you sit down first!" Yuanxiao picked up two big bowls and quickly sent two bowls of Hu La Tang to the middle-aged couple.
The real stall owner, seeing the first pair of diners coming today, quickly picked up a large plate of fried dumplings and sent them to the table of the two.
"Oh, you are also very young as a grandmother!" The middle-aged man began to sigh again.
The stall owner covered his face when he heard it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and simply did not explain it, it was troublesome.
"It's really delicious, this is the best Hu La Tang I have ever tasted!" The middle-aged woman started to praise as soon as she tasted it.
"Psychological effect, right? Do you think it tastes good because you think the stall owner is handsome?" The middle-aged man questioned.
"So what! Can you only watch it and not me? How can it be so?" The middle-aged woman staged a Jedi counterattack.
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you. Anyway, I've fallen into your hands in this life!" The middle-aged man also went to drink the spicy soup. After just one bite, he knew that what his wife said was true, and the taste was indeed delicious. He picked up a yellow pan-fried bun and tasted it, and it was also full of fragrance.
After the middle-aged couple finished their meal and left, the stall owner found that they had given two more copper coins on the table, and she was immediately grateful. There are still kind people in this world!
At present, the sky is still dark, and it will take at least half an hour before dawn. While the guests have not arrived yet, the woman picked up a full plate of pan-fried buns and put them on the table, asking Yuanxiao and Xiaoqi to come and eat first.
Yuanxiao directly served three bowls of spicy soup and said, "Sister, while there is no one here, the three of us will eat together. Otherwise, when the guests come in the morning, you will have no chance to eat."
The woman took her child from Xiaoqi's hands, put him on her left leg, and the three of them ate around a table.
"The spicy soup tastes better today. How did you do it?" The woman was a little surprised.
"Wow, I want to drink two bowls today!" Xiao Qi started to express her opinion as soon as she tasted it.
"Big sister, I added some seasonings. Those seasonings are on the stall, all for you!"
The woman saw that the stall was already full of bottles and jars of various seasonings, and hurriedly thanked her.
After the three of them finished their meal, Yuanxiao took out her purse to pay.
The woman held the child and immediately waved her hand and said, "I will treat you two to dinner today, no need to pay. These things are all made by me, not worth much. You helped me a lot and gave me so many seasonings, I must treat you to this meal."
Yuanxiao smiled and said, "Okay, big sister, we are grateful, so we won't pay for this meal, let you treat us. It's very cold at night now, and you and your mother should also buy more clothes. There are some copper coins in this bag, which is my little thought for the child, you must accept it."
"How can this be!" The woman was a little panicked.
"Big sister, you invited us to dinner, and we have accepted it. This is a little gift for the children, and we must accept it. Otherwise, I really have to pay for the meal!" Yuanxiao said with a smile, then put the purse on the table, pulled Xiaoqi and turned to leave.
When the two walked away, the woman took the purse and opened it. There were a lot of copper coins in it. Even if she worked hard for a whole year, she might not be able to make so much money! She immediately hugged the child and burst into tears.
When it was dawn, the two had walked out of the town and walked towards the mountains in the suburbs.
Yuanxiao came out this time to travel around Xiningzhou, so she walked around and looked around, not in a hurry. Xiaoqi was originally looking for Yuanxiao to play. As long as the two were together, they could go anywhere and stop wherever the scenery was good. They were very happy.
In the afternoon, the two walked to a pond. Yuanxiao saw that there were many willow trees on the shore. He immediately remembered a toy from his childhood, so he took out a dagger, cut off a willow branch that was about to sprout, took it in his hand and rubbed it with his hands.
"Hey, Yuanxiao, what are you doing?" Xiaoqi turned into a curious baby.
"Keep it secret for now, I guarantee you haven't played with it! This is one of the toys that we poor kids in the countryside used when we were young."
Yuanxiao used a dagger to cut off both ends of the willow twig, leaving only one section, and then rotated and rubbed it to completely separate the outer skin of the entire twig from the wooden strip inside. After pulling out the wooden strip, there was a tube formed by the outer skin of the twig left in his hand.
Yuanxiao then flattened one end of the twig outer skin tube, and after flattening it, scraped off a layer on both sides with a dagger, and then put it in his mouth and blew hard, beep, da da, it turned out to be a small trumpet that can make sounds.
"Oh, it's so magical and fun, give it to me quickly!" Xiaoqi was very fond of this small trumpet made of twig outer skin.
"There's my saliva on it, don't regret it."
"As long as you don't make me angry, I won't dislike you!" Xiao Qi took the willow trumpet, put it in her mouth and blew it. It was really interesting. It's fun to follow Yuan Xiao. He knows all the fun things!
Yuan Xiao suddenly looked up at the sky: "Xiao Qi, it was sunny in the morning, but now it's suddenly cloudy. It's going to rain soon. There is a family at the foot of the mountain ahead. Let's go to avoid the rain and chat with them."
"Okay!" Xiao Qi blew the trumpet all the way and followed Yuan Xiao to the thatched house at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the fence yard, I saw an old man in his seventies, wearing a long gown, busy collecting food into the house. There was a wooden rack in the middle of the yard, on which was a layer of sheets, and the sheets were full of food that had just been dried for half a day.
Seeing that it was about to rain, the old man wanted to gather the sheets and carry them to the room together, but he didn't have enough strength to lift them. You know, in the morning, he took out the food in many pots to dry. Now he wants to carry it back at once. It's more than 100 kilograms, and an old man certainly can't carry it!
"Old man, let me help you!" Yuanxiao ran over and helped carry the whole bag of food, carried it into the thatched house and put it in the grain bin.
"It's better to be young. For an old man like me, my life is about to end!" The old man said self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, raindrops fell outside. If Yuanxiao had come a step later, the food that the old man had dried would have been soaked.
The old man pulled over three bamboo chairs, and the three of them sat at the door of the thatched house, looking at the heavy rain outside, and started chatting.
"Old man, you look at your long gown, you should be a learned person, right?"
