Ah Xiu looked at the small vendor and pressed his mouth slightly, "Liuwen, I only have so many, can I sell it?"
Upon closer inspection, you can see the blushes in his ears. He has never bargained with anyone when he buys things.
It's not that he can't get the ten cents, and he can ask for some from his mother, but he only wants to use his own money for the things he buys for Shengsheng.
And Liuwen is all he has saved for nearly a year.
The small vendor looked at Ashiu up and down, and then at the adults who were laughing but not talking. Finally, he nodded in embarrassment, "Forget it, I think you are close to each other, Liu Wen will sell you a couple, and it won’t make a profit. Your money. The little girl looks so good-looking. Wearing my red head rope for safekeeping will make the little friends envy."
Then he took off the red-headed rope from the booth, rolled it up carefully, and handed it to Ashiu.
Ah Xiu took out his only six cents from the skirt of his clothes and put it in the hands of the small vendor.
The brand-new and gorgeous red-headed rope was spread out in front of Liu Yusheng, and the little boy's eyes were shy and bright, "Shengsheng, for you."
Concentrating on the dazzling red in the boy's palm, Liu Yusheng took it, and put it in his pocket with great care, with beautiful eyes bent into crescents, "Thank you Brother Ash! I like it very much!"
The corners of Ah Xiu's mouth curled up quietly, and there was a light breeze in her dark eyes. She liked it more than anything else.
The friendship between the two little children makes the adults who follow each other smile.
Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu also turned their heads at this time, and dragged the two little babies forward, "There are so many snacks ahead, let's eat wontons, then beef noodles, and then big pie!"
The cheerful children's voice, interspersed with the noise, is still loud.
The children's small bodies were squeezed into the crowd, almost submerged and invisible.
Facing a group of people in the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, near the window, someone glanced down and then retracted his gaze, "How did you find it?"
"Back to the master, I went to the yamen for investigation, and no strangers have come to the house in the past two years. This place is far away from the capital, and it is in a remote location. Will they not come to this place at all?" behind the man , Stood a figure in black clothes, bowed and answered carefully.
The sitting man was noncommittal, "Even if he escaped, it is possible to hide somewhere without going to the house. It needs to be checked carefully to avoid omissions. Now the group of people is also chasing fast, and it will be found soon. Here, we must rush to deal with things before them."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "has anything different happen to the surroundings recently?"
"Things in the small town are nothing more than sneaking and playing tricks. But if you want to talk about different things, there are one or two. In the past two months, there was a village around the town and three people in a row had accidents. One person died, and two others are said to be missing. No one has been found. According to a small speculation, the possibility of death is very high."
"How did the other die?"
"I went to the latrine in the middle of the night and fell into the pit and drowned. But before this person died, he seemed to have been beaten and his hands were interrupted."
"Which village?"
"Downhill Village."
The man tapped his fingers on the table lightly, after a moment, "check it out."
On the street, a few babies had a round belly.
In front of every stall, there are their footprints. Walking around from the street to the end of the street, everyone was full of dangling things in their hands. Toys, snacks, candied haws, woven straw hats, etc.
The adults followed behind and shared the joy with them.
When passing by the jewelry shop, Liu Yusheng had to take Mrs. Liu into the shop and chose a gold ornament for each of the family members. He almost didn't feel sorry for Mrs. Liu when he checked out.
When they were ready to return to the city, the adults were also full of things in their hands.
Pork, snacks, sweets, as well as papyrus for children to practice calligraphy, and some books.
The whole family packed Li's bullock cart again, and laughter spread all over the ground on the way back.
Because she had dinner at Liu's house, Ashiu Niang took Ashiu and went directly to Liu's house, without getting off the car and returning to the cabin on the way.
When I got home, it was just past noon.
After putting things away, the family ladies began to make glutinous rice cakes and prepare dinner.
The children pulled out snacks, sweets and the like, sitting together and sharing happily. Each talked about interesting things happening around him. Excited.
When making glutinous rice cakes, the children also participated in it.
The most curious is Liu Yusheng.
When I was young, I lived with my grandfather and grandmother, and they also made glutinous rice cakes during festivals.
But what I did was white rice dumplings.
Directly steamed with glutinous rice and then mashed it, twisted into a well-balanced round cake shape to make it, you can steam it when you eat it, or it can be boiled or fried, and then coated with sugar, or mixed with salt, sauce, etc. eat together.
And the glutinous rice cake made by Grandma Liu is Ai glutinous rice cake.
Pick the fresh and tender mugwort leaves and boil them into juice, add them to glutinous rice flour, knead them and twist them to form one by one, wrap it with sesame sugar filling, put it on the bottom with grapefruit leaves, put it in a steamer, and steam it to become one. A verdant and dark green moxa.
The bite is sweet and sticky, and the mouth is full of mixed aromas of mugwort leaves, grapefruit leaves and sesame seeds. It is very delicious.
Liu Yusheng likes the different taste.
During the period, Dabao and a group of friends from Gouwa ran over and exchanged food with their own glutinous rice cakes. The yard was full of cheers and noises from the children, and it was another round of excitement.
It wasn't until dinner time that the adults came to lead people and left.
Dinner at the Liu family was also on the table.
There is no habit of worshipping the moon in the countryside, and people take their seats directly after the meals are arranged.
When the family was about to start, an uninvited guest came outside the door.
The sound of horse hooves is a carriage.
A figure suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
The courtyard door banged.
"I'll open the door." Liu Da put down his chopsticks, got up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
When he greeted people in, everyone saw that it was Qian Wanjin who hadn't shown up for a long time.
Behind him was rhubarb, and there was a middle-aged man with a handsome face and shrewd eyes.
"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, Uncle, Fuwa, I'll come to your house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Qian Wanjin's voice broke as soon as he entered the door, "Oh, this period of time can hold me back. Time is all on the way. In the past more than a month, I have lost my weight!"
As he shouted, people also squeezed in front of Liu Yusheng, "Fu Wawa, take a look, is Xiaoye thinner? Is he?"
Liu Yusheng raised his eyes to look at the tonnage of someone in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I didn't see it."
"Why can't I see it? I'm so thin! My jaw is smaller! I..."
Before he finished speaking, a small palm stretched out and pushed him against him. Obviously he didn't see any effort, but he was shocked to push his figure two steps backwards.
