Bai Sanzhuang saw that Mrs. Bai didn't look very good, and knew that she had heard Xu Jiaojiao's words scolding him.
"Nai, don't be angry." Bai Sanzhuang smiled forcefully.
He was afraid that Mrs. Bai would call him home to farm in her anger. He doesn’t want to farm, he just wants to do business.
But Old Mrs. Bai said: "If you work for someone, it's not worth it if you don't get scolded by the master. I'll sit here and delay your work. There is a steamed stuffed bun shop next to here. I'll take your sister there to have lunch." Rice, you can see your father and your brother when they look up when they pass by."
With that said, he picked up the pork and the spring clothes of the fourth child of the Bai family and stood up.
Bai Sanzhuang knew that he couldn't keep his grandma, so he took the money and sent them out.
"Fourth brother, I'll give you this money. You can use it for the exam in Fucheng." Bai Sanzhuang handed the money to Bai Panmei.
He had originally planned to go to school to deliver it to the fourth child in two days, but the fourth child just happened to come out, so he didn't have to go there alone.
"Third brother, I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time. Second brother also gave me some." Bai Panmei held the retouching fee for the storybook in her arms and did not want third brother's money.
Bai Sanzhuang handed the money to Mrs. Bai.
After leaving the lacquerware shop, Mrs. Bai said to Bai Sanzhuang: "Xiaosan, please look at the shop. This has delayed most of the day. The bun shop is not far from here. Xiaosi, just accompany me and your sister."
Bai Sanzhuang was about to send his grandma and sister over. Xiao Fuyuan clasped his hands together and bowed to his fourth brother: "Okay, fourth brother, let's look at the shop."
The funny feeling in Bai Sizhuang's heart became much lighter.
"Too milky."
"Fourth brother."
"Fourth uncle."
"Sister/aunt."
Bai Banban bought vegetable seeds and ran into Bai Dazhuang who was coming out of the rice and grain store, so several men from the Bai family came to the lacquer shop together carrying the purchased things.
"Nai, why are you standing at the door and not bringing your sister in?" Bai Dazhuang asked.
"I've already had tea and cakes. I don't want to delay my third son's visit to the shop. It happens to be noon. Let's go to the bun shop for dinner."
"That works."
Bai Banban also worked as a waiter. He knew that the shop had its own rules and did not dare to delay his son casually. He told Bai Sanzhuang to take good care of the shop and not be lazy, and the group went to the bun shop.
As soon as he heard about eating big meat buns, Dalang Sanlang jumped up with joy.
The two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Along the way, they were salivating over the various foods they ate. Knowing that their family was poor, they did not dare to ask Bai Dazhuang for money, so they swallowed their saliva and endured the whole journey.
"Xiaosi, why did you get out of school?" Bai Banban asked Bai Panmei as usual.
"I came out to buy pen and paper and stopped by to see Third Brother." Bai Panmei said.
As for writing a storybook, I won’t talk about it for the time being. I’ll tell it to my family when he is admitted to Tongsheng.
The steamed bun shop is not far away and we arrived there within a short walk.
Xiao Fuyuan took a quick look and saw that the steaming buns were hot and freshly baked and placed in a steamer. The fillings were large and the skin was thin, which was very tempting.
"Sit down in the shop. How many buns do you want for freshly baked buns stuffed with pork and green onions? And some soup, how many bowls do you want?" The boss greeted him cheerfully. When he looked up and saw Xiao Fuyuan, he smiled and said, "Hey, What a pretty little girl.”
"Three steamed buns and a bowl of soup for each person." Mrs. Bai replied.
"Okay, old man, please come in. There are many people, so I'll spare you two more buns." The boss quickly put the buns on the plate.
Mrs. Bai and others entered the store, picked up a table against the wall and sat down.
"Roast chicken." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the oil paper bag in Bai Panmei's hand.
"The roast chicken I brought to my sister was specially left for everyone." Bai Panmei put the roast chicken on the table and reminded everyone that it was Xiao Fuyuan who left it for everyone.
"Roast chicken!"
“It smells so good!”
Bai Zhaomei and Dalang Sanlang's uncle and nephew each tore off a piece with their eyes shining with excitement. After one bite, it was so delicious that they almost shed tears. This was their first time eating roast chicken, and they wanted to chew the bones clean.
Xiao Fuyuan just gnawed on a big chicken drumstick and was not hungry at all.
She sat on the chair for a while, then stood up to look at the paintings on the wall of the bun shop.
Apart from their table, there were no other customers. She was safe in the store, so Mrs. Bai and others ignored her.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at the painting for a while, then moved to the back door of the bun shop.
There was a thick curtain hanging on the back door, and behind the curtain was a small courtyard. The owner of the bun shop is open for business during the day, and people live in the courtyard behind.
She opened the curtain and looked out and saw a big yellow dog lying in the yard in the sun. She felt playful and walked over to see the dog.
"Woof woof woof woof woof." Little Fuyuan squatted next to the big yellow dog and stretched out her hand. The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue and licked her hand, making little Fuyuan giggle.
Suddenly, Xiao Fuyuan felt excited all over.
She sensed danger approaching.
Huo Ran turned around and saw a man about the same age as Da Lang lying on a lounge chair in the middle of the yard, holding a half-bitten meat bun in his hand, surrounded by two hungry big raccoons staring at the bun with green eyes.
The half-grown boy was sleeping when he was awakened by a sharp scream. Seeing the two cats with their backs hunched over and their fur exploding, their eyes widened in fear and they dared not move.
"Meow...wu..." The two civet flowers suddenly stretched out their sharp claws and pounced on the half-grown boy's face.
The boy was so frightened that he rolled down from his chair and his voice changed.
The big yellow dog jumped up, but it was tied up and couldn't run away. It held its neck and barked at the two cats.
This irritated the two cats even more. The cat roared angrily and stretched out its sharp claws again. Seeing that it was about to catch the boy's eyes, Xiao Fuyuan ran over with her short legs to protect the boy, staring at the two big raccoon dogs.
When the owner of the bun shop heard the dog barking, the cat howling, and his son crying, he threw down a basket of hot buns and ran to the backyard.
When Mrs. Bai, Bai Banban and others turned around and saw that Xiao Fuyuan was gone, they also ran to the backyard, fearing that the cats and dogs would hurt her.
A group of people came to the door of the backyard and were scared out of their wits.
First, he saw two raccoon dogs with their backs hunched and their fur rising, and they roared in their throats. The half-grown boy was so frightened that he was shaking all over. Xiao Fuyuan stood beside him, holding a broom in his hand, and swept it at the civets. The two civets jumped up the wall and ran away with a cry.
The shop owner was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still and choked up after shouting "Stone".
"Dad, woo, woo." Brother Shi, the son of the owner of the bun shop, was so frightened that he almost lost his voice. He waited for the cat to run away for a while before he howled out.
"Don't be afraid, there is a round treasure." Xiao Fuyuan patted his chest.
"Yuan Bao, you kid, how can you be so courageous?" Mrs. Bai held little Fu Yuan in her arms, "You dare to mess with that wild cat."
Old Mrs. Bai was more frightened than afraid.
The last time I met a horse in the village, its fierce temper immediately became docile when she saw it. The same happened to the wild cat. She drank a few times and then left obediently.
What kind of abilities does her granddaughter have?
"Xiao Yuanbao, are you okay?"
"Sister, are you not injured?"
Bai Banban and Bai Dazhuang pulled Xiao Fuyuan over. Why is this little girl so bold? Such a small person dares to chase a wild cat. The wild cat can bite people to death when it goes crazy.
"Yuanbao is not afraid." Xiao Fuyuan said, holding up his little pink fist.
"Old man, thank you granddaughter for saving my son." The owner of the bun shop held his son in his arms and thanked the old lady Bai.
These two wild cats often appeared in the house, and he chased them away several times.
Today, my son was sleeping in the sun in the yard, and the wild cat came again.
He could see clearly that just now the cat's claw hit his son's eyes. If this little girl hadn't protected his son, his eyes would have gone blind.
Such a small person, as big as a dumpling and no taller than a broom, was holding a broom to chase away cats.
The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop was so moved that he almost cried. He bent over and thanked Xiao Fuyuan.
"Brother's eyes are fine. You're not afraid." Xiao Fuyuan said.
The bun shop owner was comforted by Xiaofuku Yuanyi and was even more moved.
The Bai family hadn't finished eating their steamed buns yet. Seeing that Xiao Fuyuan was fine, they sat back in the shop to eat.
"Xiao Yuanbao, you saved Shitou. My uncle is very touched. Today's buns will be used as a thank you gift." The owner of the bun shop placed two freshly baked buns in front of everyone in the Bai family and said to Xiao Fuyuan with gratitude.
"My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Xing. Your daughter saved my son. How do you call me brother? Mother Shitou is not here today, so I will prepare a generous gift in a few days." The owner of the bun shop raised his hand towards the white wooden board.
"You're welcome, that's your son's fortune, so no need for generous gifts." Bai Banban declined with a smile.
"That won't work. Your daughter is my family's great benefactor." Chen Xing said anxiously.
"You are not a great benefactor. Her little child had no intention of being afraid and drove the cat away unexpectedly. Shopkeeper, we accepted these buns. There is really no need for a thank you gift." Old Mrs. Bai said with a smile.
The two parties declined each other and chatted for a while. When they learned that Bai Sanzhuang, a lacquerware shop, was also the son of this family, Chen Xing felt that they were destined.
After finishing the steamed buns, I finished drinking the soup.
Everyone in the Bai family said goodbye to Chen Xing.
Chen Xingzao quietly ordered his son to go to the room and get a pack of halva and a piece of floral cloth to give to Xiao Fuyuan. Mrs. Bai declined. Chen Xing said it was a thank you gift for Xiao Fuyuan, so Mrs. Bai had no choice but to accept it.
Not only that, when Chen Xing heard that they were going back to Shenshu Village, he hired a carriage, and no one in the Bai family could push it away.
After getting on the carriage and leaving the bun shop, Xiao Fuyuan wanted to go down and buy a gift for Erlang, passing by the ink studio, so he took Bai Dazhuang into the ink studio and bought Erlang pens and ink and a red book.
Bai Dazhuang murmured what he wanted to buy, but he couldn't resist his sister.
It seems that the eldest brother doesn't understand Erlang.
Xiao Fuyuan knew that Erlang wanted to study very much.
After buying pen and ink, Xiao Fuyuan went to a jewelry store and bought some flowers for Zhen and her two sisters-in-law.
Mrs. Bai took the opportunity to weigh a few more kilograms of fruit.
After buying these, the family headed back home.
At the intersection, Bai Panmei got off the carriage and wanted to go back to her private school.
Mrs. Bai suddenly had an idea and asked Xiao Fuyuan to say auspicious words to the fourth brother, such as "Tongsheng High School".
"Brother will go to high school." Xiao Fuyuan hugged the fourth child of the Bai family and said seriously.
