As soon as it started to dawn, Bai Gu got up.
Picking up the small bamboo slips thrown aside last night, Bai Gu put it in his arms and went out.
He deliberately walked out of Lingding Alley in another direction because the road he often took before passed through Old Liu Tou's house.
He still doesn't know how to face Lao Liutou, or rather, he doesn't dare.
Then simply disappear.
Today is the day to pick up Xiaoxiao and go home. Let’s buy Xiaoxiao a new cotton coat first!
"How are you going to sell these two pieces, boss?" Bai Gu made a choice, and then he held up two cotton-padded clothes that were selling well and said.
"Thirty coppers for one piece, fifty coppers for two!" The boss was an unshaven middle-aged man who looked very honest. His cotton-padded clothes and quilts are of good quality and affordable, and they are often discounted. Many people nearby are willing to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts from him.
Bai Gu took out a small hanging coin and threw it to the man, "Here's the money!"
"Okay!" The boss took the money, put it in his pocket without counting it, and continued busy receiving other customers.
Bai Gu once curiously asked him if he was not afraid of others giving him fake money, giving him less money, or even giving him no money at all?
The man replied: "There are so many people coming all day long, and I am so busy that I have no time to count money. Besides, they are all neighbors, and you can't see them when you look up. When you open the door for business, it should be open and bright. What are you doing counting money?" It hurts my feelings!"
The boss is cheerful and open, which certainly attracts customers more.
Especially this winter, which is colder than previous years, cotton-padded clothes and quilts are more popular, and Hanzi's business is even more prosperous.
With great difficulty, Bai Gu squeezed out the crowd of people grabbing cotton-padded clothes and quilts. He stood on the roadside and exhaled a large cloud of white mist. "These people are really scary."
Dropping by a breakfast shop, Bai Gu ordered a bowl of soy milk and two steamed buns, and paid for his breakfast with two copper coins.
Bai Gu also bought a bunch of candied haws on the way for Xiaoxiao to try.
"You came so early today, Mr. Bai." Since he was still in the corridor, Yu Qian still called Mr. Bai Gu.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao is very homesick. He is probably awake by now and waiting for me."
"Miss Bai has already had breakfast." Yu Qian said.
"This guy." Bai Gu shook his head helplessly.
When Bai Gu pushed the door open and entered, Bai Xiaoxiao just glanced at the door and was sure that Bai Gu was here. He immediately jumped up from the bed and ran towards Bai Gu, "Brother, you are here, let's go! Go back!" Home, home!”
Bai Gu smiled and rubbed Bai's little head, handed the candied haws to her, and then helped her put on the cotton coat.
Fortunately, it was much warmer inside Cheung Chau Pharmacy than outside. Otherwise, Bai Xiaoxiao would have been cold and cold just running around in a fleece hospital gown.
Bai Xiaoxiao held the candied haws and frowned slightly, "Brother, what is this? Why is it red?"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Bai Gu's face, and he immediately explained: "This is candied haws of sugar. It's very delicious. You can try it."
Children of Xiaoxiao's age should all know and eat candied haws, right?
Maybe some children are tired of it.
Bai Gu once saw on the road that a child threw the whole bunch of candied haws with only one bite in his hand on the road, and even trampled it to pieces. He was crying and making trouble on the roadside and asked his parents to go to Xiaoshan Street to buy it again. One bunch, the one just now was not delicious.
Bai Gu was squatting on the side of the road, looking at the trampled candied haws, and then at the crying children and helpless parents standing aside. He didn't know why, but he couldn't look away or move his feet.
The family of three had gone away, but Bai Gu was still squatting on the spot, staring at the trampled candied haws, not knowing what he was thinking, like a statue.
It wasn't until a carriage sped by and completely crushed the candied haws of water into crumbs that Bai Gu was awakened.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the candied haws, then at Bai Gu, and then stretched out his hand, "Brother, you eat first."
Bai Gu smiled and said, "I bought two skewers, but I was greedy and couldn't hold it back. I ate one skewer on the way. These skewers are yours."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Gu, and then at the candied haws in his hand. He still didn't reach out his hand, "Brother, you eat a few first, and then I'll eat."
"Didn't you tell me, I've already eaten a bunch of them."
Bai Xiaoxiao shook his head, "I had breakfast this morning and I can't eat so much."
Looking at Bai Xiaoxiao's firm eyes, Bai Gu couldn't resist her, so he had to take the bunch of candied haws, bit two or three of them, and gave them back to Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Gu said while chewing: "I also had breakfast this morning. I just ate another bunch and I really can't eat anymore."
Only then was Bai Xiaoxiao willing to let Bai Gu go. He took the candied haws and took a bite. His eyes immediately lit up, "It's so sweet! It's also a little sour. Brother, this is delicious!"
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Do you regret eating a few of them for me? It's too late."
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Who knows, brother often doesn't eat and leaves things to me. You think I don't know!"
Bai Gu was speechless for a moment, so he had to pat Bai Xiao's head gently, "You kid, what do you know? When I said I ate, I just ate. Could it be that I was stupid and didn't know how to look for food when I was hungry? Something to eat?”
Bai Xiaoxiao raised his head, chewing the candied haws in his mouth, and looked at Bai Gu as if he was looking at a fool, "Isn't it?"
Bai Gu gently pinched both sides of Bai Xiaoxiao's cheeks and kept circling, "How can you talk, ah? I am a fool, then you are a little fool!"
"I'm not stupid, but I'm smart. But I'm a fool."
Bai Gu moved his hand down and began to scratch his armpits and waist. It was so itchy that Bai Xiaoxiao squirmed and hid around, "Do you still dare to say it, huh? Do you dare to say it anymore, do you dare to do it? ?”
"Hahaha, brother, brother, hahaha, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to run away, but was held by Bai Gu's hand and couldn't escape at all. The itching was so unbearable that Bai Xiaoxiao quickly begged for mercy.
Bai Gu stopped and started to arrange Bai Xiaoxiao's clothes, "Xiaoxiao, if you want to go out to play, where do you want to go most?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly looked anxious, "Brother, are you going somewhere again?"
Bai Gu knew that Bai Xiaoxiao was thinking of his visit to Xuefeng.
He knelt down and gently stroked Bai Xiao's face, "Yes, I may have to go out in the next two days. But don't worry, I will take you with me this time. This time it will be very far away, maybe It will take a long time to come back. So I think if possible, we can go to all the places we want to go in one go this time, so that we don’t have to run around so often. Even if we have to go again in the future, we will be familiar with the roads."
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately became happy, "Okay, okay, we can go out and play! Brother, I want to go to Shuangyue Tower! There is also Ten Thousand Flowers City. I heard that the flowers there are beautiful and the honey is delicious!"
Bai Gu touched his chin, "Wanhua City? Honey? Who did you listen to?"
"Taoist Qiu, whom I met several times before, mentioned it when he told me a story. He also said that he had eaten it and it was delicious!"
It's this bastard again!
Next time we meet, I have to peel off his skin!
Bai Gu smiled and nodded, "Let's set off in a few days. First, follow me to do some things, and then go to Shuangyue Tower and Wanhua City, okay?"
"Okay! I listen to brother!" Bai Xiaoxiao swallowed the last bite of candied haws, and then suddenly jumped out of Bai Gu's arms, smiling and making a face at Bai Gu, "Luanluanluo, I am a fool, Luanluanluo .”
Then Bai Xiaoxiao ran away immediately.
Bai Gu was amused, and stood up helplessly, and hurriedly chased him out, lest there were people in the corridor, and it would be bad if Bai Xiaoxiao and others bumped into each other.
There is no way, this is my sister, I have to pamper her.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the ward, Bai Gu saw Bai Xiaoxiao unable to stop and bumped into a man with a big belly.
Bai Xiaoxiao was directly ejected.
"Ouch!"
Bai Xiaoxiao responded and landed on his butt.
Bai Gu quickly stepped forward, helped Bai Xiaoxiao up, and anxiously checked whether she was damaged.
Fortunately, it's nothing serious, just a sore butt.
Unexpectedly, the pot-bellied guy opposite began to wail, "Hey, come here, someone is going to be killed here! I can't get up, what should I do? Man! Doctor girl! Where have they all died?" Help me get up! And those two little bastards, catch them and pay them! Don’t let them run away!"
