Luo Fengtang smiled lightly.
"It's not easy for these people to live in the open just to earn a living," he said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded. The stones were pressing on her chest and being beaten like a hammer. She was really making money with her life.
Twenty pennies is nothing to me, but to them, tomorrow's meals are guaranteed.
Suddenly there was a burst of low cheers from the crowd, and in the middle of the field, the previous stone slab was moved away and replaced with an iron sword. It seemed that they were going to swallow the sword.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head. These gangsters do have a few tricks up their sleeves.
I planned to watch it for a while longer, but Cao Bamei didn't dare to watch it anymore.
"Qing'er, let's change the booth to see it. This thing makes my calves tremble!" Cao Bamei said.
Considering Cao Bamei's feelings, Yang Ruoqing nodded happily: "Sure, let's change places."
Several people left the performing stalls here and walked forward.
Cao Bamei and Yang Ruoqing took turns holding Xiuxiu, while Baby Luo was placed on Luo Fengtang's shoulders.
Luo Fengtang was born tall and straight. When walking among the crowd, he was taller than ordinary men.
Baby Luo is riding on the shoulders of the 'giant', so he can naturally see further.
"Eat, eat..."
She suddenly raised a chubby hand and pointed to the front of the crowd.
"Ah, wasn't it the dinner we had before? Why are we eating it again so soon?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
This girl is almost one year old, and she doesn’t know how to call her parents or grandparents.
The only word he can say is 'eat'.
"There was a man selling candied haws on a stick in front of him. The baby probably saw the red candied haws on a stick." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and patted Luo Baobao's little buttocks and said, "Sit tight, let's go buy it now."
Ahead, there was a man standing on the roadside carrying a pile of candied haws, as if he were carrying a fiery red mace.
Compared to the small vendors on his left and right who were shouting one after another, the man selling candied haws on a stick seemed much calmer.
But how can people who stand on the street and set up stalls behave peacefully? If you are too settled, you won't be able to sell anything.
Just like that time, the first time she went to Wa Market to sell things with Tang Yazi, all the things she brought were sold out, and his place hadn't even opened yet!
Later, it wasn't because she went over to help him and gave him a shout out that the business was done!
"Eat, eat..." Luo Baobao, who was riding on Luo Fengtang's shoulder, began to become restless, squirming his little buttocks and leaning forward to grab the candied haws.
"Don't be anxious, little one. If you fall down later, mother will help you pick it up." Yang Ruoqing said quickly.
He grabbed a handful of coins and walked up to the man selling candied haws on a stick: "How do you sell these candied haws on a stick?"
"Two cents a string..."
The man selling candied haws on a stick heard the sound and turned around quickly.
Their eyes met, and both of them were surprised.
"Third brother?"
"Qing'er?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet her third cousin Yang Yongzhi here.
Luo Fengtang and Cao Bamei behind them also saw Yang Yongzhi and were surprised.
Cao Bamei came over with Xiuxiu in her arms, "Third brother, why are you selling candied haws on a stick here? Your eldest brother and second brother thought you had gone back to Jinhong's natal town with you Jinhong!"
Yang Yongzhi also saw the people in front of him, his face was full of embarrassment, and his face turned red.
"Well, I originally wanted to go back to her natal town to find something to do, but she said the town was too small and she couldn't make much money, so we figured it out and we came to the county town together to make a living."
That’s what happened!
Cao Bamei asked again: "Third brother, what kind of job did you get in the county?"
When asked about this, Yang Yongzhi became even more embarrassed and glanced at the pile of candied haws he was carrying.
"At the end of the first month, I haven't received any carpentry work yet, so I made some candied haws and sold it on the streets. You can't be idle, right? Haha..."
Yang Yongzhi smiled awkwardly.
Cao Bamei, Yang Ruoqing and others also sighed secretly when they heard these words.
It’s really difficult to come out and have nothing.
Children cannot understand the feelings of adults.
No, Luo Baobao, who had been patiently waiting for Yang Ruoqing to pull out the candied haws, was unhappy. He sat on Luo Fengtang's shoulder and cried "Wow".
"What's wrong with the baby?" Yang Yongzhi asked hurriedly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "She was craving for these candied haws a while ago. We came here specially to buy her candied haws."
When Yang Yongzhi heard this, he hurriedly pulled two candied haws from the pile.
One was given to Luo Baobao, and the other was given to Xiuxiu, who was held in Cao Bamei's arms.
When Cao Bamei wanted to pay, Yang Ruoqing said, "It's inconvenient for you to hold the child, so I'll just pay it together."
When she stretched out a handful of coins, Yang Yongzhi took two steps back and deliberately pulled his face down.
"Qing'er, what are you doing? I gave two bunches of candied haws to the children at home, why do I have to charge money for it!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Third brother, we appreciate your kindness, but now you are in a different situation. You rely on this small business to support your family. You can accept the money..."
Yang Yongzhi took several steps back again, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"No matter what the third brother is, I can't afford to give two bunches of candied haws to the children. I won't ask for this money," he said.
Complex eyes fell on the three people in front of him: "Besides, when Hong'er is at home, it must be you and the third aunt to help take care of him most of the time."
"Compared with your kindness to Hong'er, my two bunches of candied haws are nothing!" he said.
Having already said this, it would be a bit pretentious to insist on giving money.
Yang Ruoqing took the money back, smiled, and said to Luo Baobao, "Baby, thank you third uncle."
Baby Luo was licking the candied haws in his hand very seriously, and he was in a good mood.
Maybe he didn't hear what Yang Ruoqing said clearly, or maybe he misunderstood what Yang Ruoqing meant.
Luo Baobao raised his head, his bright eyes fell on Yang Yongzhi in front of him, and then, the little fat hand held the candied haws and brought it to Yang Yongzhi's mouth.
"Eat, eat..."
The vague but milky voice immediately made several people present cute.
Yang Yongzhi was even more surprised and asked Luo Fengtang: "Baby, what is this...?"
Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "She is asking you to take a bite."
Yang Yongzhi suddenly realized.
"Baby, third uncle is an adult. If third uncle doesn't eat, you can eat it yourself!" He said quickly, with joy and doting in his eyes.
Luo Baobao did not take the candied haws back, but stretched it towards Luo Fengtang's mouth: "Eat..."
Luo Fengtang shook his head, "Dad doesn't eat it either, my daughter does."
"Eat..." Luo Baobao said again, the little bun's face was full of stubbornness.
Luo Fengtang had to pretend to take a bite, "Well, it's so sweet and delicious." (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please to m..)
