Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 57 Rags
Siming also ordered mutton soup, noodles and rice balls.
The food at this stall tasted good. After eating, they paid and took the bus back.
I don’t know if they were full, but the two little guys fell asleep leaning against each other in the car.
Si Ming and Old Madam Si each held a child. When they returned, they just wiped the two children and let them go to sleep.
"Mom, the last time was when I went to catch bandits." Si Ming felt a headache when he looked at the two people in front of him.
"Brother, you almost got into trouble, and you didn't tell us?" Si Tian was a little angry.
Siming felt a headache: "That time I received a message and knew where the bandits were, so I took people to catch them."
"But I didn't expect someone to ambush me. But in the end, it was this girl Juanjuan who saved me."
As he spoke, he took out the deformed tin box and placed it in front of them.
Mrs. Si knew how dangerous the situation was just by looking at the bullet holes on the tin box. If the bullet had not been stuck in the tin box, the man would have been dead long ago.
"I was about to go out that day, and I don't know why, but I felt someone was looking at me from behind. I turned around and saw this girl standing on the balcony barefoot in her pajamas."
"I went to her room because I was afraid she would catch a cold. She stuffed this iron box into the pocket of my clothes on my chest." Siming looked at the iron box on the table.
"If it weren't for this child today, I'm afraid we would all die in the Chen family." Old Madam Si sighed.
"These people's methods are really hard to guard against. We should be more careful in the future, especially when it comes to eating. We must be more careful."
Siming looked at the two of them and said, "I may not come back often during this period. It's time to clean up Beiyang City."
"Be careful." Madam Si looked at him and said.
"I know, Mom. You should be more careful when you go out." Si Ming said and looked at Si Tian: "You too."
"I know, I will pay more attention." Si Tian nodded in agreement.
"The New Year is coming soon. I hope this year will be more peaceful." Old Madam Si looked out the window at the night scene.
Juanjuan hasn't seen Siming for many days, and the injured little brother has recovered.
He now follows Brother Jiang Ze to do things every day, and sometimes plays with them when he has free time.
Si Jinchen looked at what he was knitting in his hands: "Brother Mayang, what is this?"
Ma San's name was not nice, so Si Tian changed it to Ma Yang, hoping that he would be like the winter sunshine.
"This is called straw weaving. There is not much grass in winter, so I found some usable ones to weave for you." Ma Yang was holding a straw-woven katydid.
It looks like it's real, vivid and lifelike.
It was only in the past few days that he truly understood the difference that Jiang Ze meant. The people in the Si family were very kind and had great kindness towards them, the servants.
The young lady and the young master are both very nice people. As long as they don't go out, they will let him attend Mr. Yan's lectures.
However, it is hard to describe the young lady's handwriting. On the contrary, the young master's handwriting is very good and he can also teach me.
Juanjuan poked the katydid in his hand and asked, "Can it fly?"
"Those that are alive can fly. This one I made with straw, but it can't fly." Ma Yang handed the katydid in his hand to her.
"That's amazing, Brother Mayang. Can you also teach me and my brother how to weave?" Juanjuan looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"When there is more grass, I will teach you how to weave it. I can't find suitable grass now." Ma Yang scratched his head embarrassedly.
"We have agreed." Si Jinchen looked at him with a smile.
Mrs. Si didn't say anything when she saw that the three children got along well with each other. Instead, she was very happy to see them get along well.
"Madam, the second master said that the New Clothing Store is a bit too busy and asked if you could go and help." The housekeeper walked up to her and said.
"Okay, I'll go over now. It's almost New Year, so it's time to get busy." Madam Si looked at the three children and said, "Do you want to go to the New Clothing Store with Grandma?"
"Go, go, go." Juanjuan couldn't stay any longer.
"Then go change your clothes and we'll go together." Madam Si looked at Ma Yang and said, "You should come too."
"Yes, old lady." Ma Yang answered respectfully.
When they arrived at the new clothing store, a group of familiar customers saw Juanjuan and Si Jinchen.
"Is Juanjuan here to give candy to the sisters again today?"
Juanjuan smiled as she fished out some candy from her bag and gave one to each of them: "Pretty sister, you are getting prettier and prettier."
The guest couldn't help but pinch her little face: "You are the sweetest one. Show me which one looks good on you."
After saying that, he held two pieces of clothing in front of him and gestured, then looked at her.
"Sister is beautiful and looks beautiful in whatever she wears." Juanjuan answered seriously.
This serious little expression amused the customers, and they stopped being picky and asked the tailor to make clothes according to her body shape.
Juanjuan ran to the back where the tailor was.
The tailor was so busy that his feet were about to hit the back of his head. Seeing her, he smiled helplessly and said, "Miss, I'm very busy here now. I don't have time to play with you."
"Juanjuan, be good and don't make trouble." After saying that, Juanjuan moved aside with Si Jinchen and the others.
She looked at the rags that fell to the ground and asked, "Grandpa, can I take these rags away?"
The old tailor glanced at the scraps of cloth scattered on the ground and said: "Okay."
Juanjuan went to pick up the scraps of cloth on the ground.
Si Jinchen and Ma Yang saw it and went to help her pick it up.
"Juanjuan, what do you want to do with these scraps of cloth?" Si Jinchen didn't quite understand what these scraps of cloth could be used for.
"Let's play!" Juanjuan took the rags and went to a deserted place and threw them on the ground.
He squatted on the ground and pulled out these beautiful pieces of cloth.
Ma Yang put the rags next to her: "Miss, is that enough?"
"Enough, enough." Juanjuan took the scraps of cloth and started playing with the puzzle on the ground.
Si Jinchen found it interesting and started to put the pieces together on the ground.
Ma Yang didn't understand, but he was very sensible and took charge of picking up the rags.
Seeing that the two men didn't have enough scraps of cloth in their hands, he ran over to pick them up and put them next to them.
The three children were having a lot of fun, but when Mrs. Si finished her work, she discovered that the three children were missing.
She was so scared that she went to look for someone, and saw three children doing a puzzle on the ground.
But why do these things that Juanjuan put together look so much like pieces of clothing?
Look at what Si Jinchen is fighting with, it’s a gun.
The others were also busy looking for the three children, and were stunned when they found them.
The old tailor didn’t understand guns, but the clothes that Juanjuan had put together made them excited and their eyes lit up.
It turns out that this piece of cloth can be used in this way. This lady is really a treasure!
Juanjuan noticed someone behind him and turned around to see a group of people looking at them.
She blinked innocently and said, "Grandma, Juanjuan didn't cause any trouble. It was Grandpa who said we could play with these scraps of cloth."
