On the second day of accompanying the stubborn boy to make money, Xingzi still had to get up painfully early in the morning and put on her clothes.

By the time the snacks were brought back, Xingzi's legs were shaking.

I haven't walked far for a long time. After walking all day yesterday, my legs are sore and numb today.

Xingzi was in great pain, and Yuan consoled her:

"Believe in yourself, you can do it. After walking for a few days and getting used to it, it won't hurt anymore!"

Thank you, but Xingzi, who is so tired that she wants to lie down, doesn’t want to get used to it at all!

Little Stone was already waiting for them at the entrance of the alley. When he saw them coming, he and Little White Cabbage, Little Winter Melon and Big Radish came over to greet them.

"You guys are finally back, hurry up, if you're late you won't be able to get in!"

Big Radish urged repeatedly.

The other three were also a little anxious. The two sisters only had time to nod their heads, and without even taking a break, they hurriedly followed the four people through the streets and alleys.

When they arrived at the East Market, the four men took them straight to a large teahouse, squeezed in among the people entering the shop, and sneaked in.

Taking advantage of the chaos inside, the four people split up, two went upstairs, and two went downstairs to sell to the customers.

Little Stone said to the two of them:

"Don't be too far away from me."

Then they started selling melon seeds and peanuts. They sold them cheaper than in the store, so many people bought them. However, Yuan and the others sold the snacks piece by piece. Although the prices were similar to those in the store, they were not sold in whole plates, so there was no need to worry about not being able to finish them, so they sold out quickly.

This person bought it, and other people saw it and followed suit.

It's just that there were too many people, and before I could collect the money, another one reached out to ask for more. Many people were talking at the same time, which was completely different from the way of selling things on the street where you have to look for buyers.

Yuan always felt that he had received less money, but he couldn't figure out who took it and didn't pay.

Xingzi was even worse off. She was too tired, her arms and legs ached, and she moved slowly. Some people couldn't wait and reached out to take the things themselves.

Xingzi saw with her own eyes that someone grabbed several pieces with one hand and walked away, but she didn't receive much money.

I was busy collecting money and handing out snacks, and when I looked up again, it seemed like no one had taken several pieces.

Xingzi was about to cry in anxiety: I got up so early and walked for such a long time to bring back the snacks, how could you eat them without paying!

One was confused and the other was anxious.

Little Stone squeezed through the crowd and pushed the two of them out:

"Hurry up, hurry up, the guys are going to chase us away."

The two of them went in confused and came out confused.

Cabbage, winter melon and radish were also squeezed out.

They were like a bunch of stewed ingredients trying to escape from a boiling iron pot. They ran a long way in a hurry.

Little Stone then explained:

“We can only sell when they are in a mess. Once they are seated and the storyteller has come on stage, that guy will definitely start chasing people away.

If we get caught, a few scoldings and a few beatings would be the least of our worries, but we're afraid that he'll be aggressive and smash our baskets, which would be a huge loss for us."

Yuan got scared when he heard this: "Then can't we sell it on the street?"

Little Stone wiped his sweat:

"That's fine, but it's too slow. People in teahouses and theaters have money, and they always need snacks when listening to books and watching plays. On the street, you have to rely on fate.

We all go to these places to buy what’s left, and then try our luck on the street.”

The big radish and the others were also quite even-tempered.

Big Radish urged again:

"Hurry up, hurry up, to the next one!"

A Yuan Xingzi was grabbed and dragged by several people to the next house.

After visiting just a few stores, A Yuan and his friends’ dim sum were sold out, but Xiao Shitou and his friends’ fried snacks still had some left.

But Yuan and the others couldn't be happy, someone must have stolen their snacks!!!

The same amount of snacks are all gone today but why is there less money?

The two children sat sadly on the side of the road, not noticing where they were.

Opposite the Tang Family Liquor Shop, Dalang went out to dump the dirty water but happened to see two little ones sitting opposite him.

He immediately ran over and asked: "Why are you here alone? Didn't you come out with Xiao Shitou and the others?"

A Yuan pointed in a direction:

“They went over there to sell, and we sold out, and they were running slow.

They asked us to wait here for a while and come back to us when they sold out.”

Dalang scratched his head and asked in some embarrassment:

"So what did they say when they came back?"

Xingzi was holding a big basket and told him:

“They’ll be back when they sell out.”

Dalang: ...If you can’t sell them all in a short time, then what’s the difference between you and being abandoned?

"You, come with me to the liquor store and wait. Don't sit here and run into bad guys again!"

The two little sisters are so pretty that everyone in the family is worried that they will be stolen by human traffickers. It’s not a big deal if they play at home, but here there are so many people around.

Wulang and Liulang are better off because they are taller and don't seem to be of the age to be kidnapped, so they can help their uncles.

But the two sisters looked younger than their age. Xingzi was okay, as she had grown a lot taller. But Yuan looked like a perfect candidate for being kidnapped. He could be stuffed into a basket and carried away with just a lid.

If something really happens, it will be too late. If they don’t have companions, their families won’t feel comfortable letting them go out.

But my companions all ran away. I should have followed them if I had known this. Where would I find them if they were taken away by someone?

As soon as Xingzi heard that there was a place to rest, she wanted to leave.

Yuan hesitated and said:

"What if we can't find them when they come back? What if we don't see them when they come back?"

Xingzi jumped up and sat back down, and the three of them stared at each other.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Shitou ran back and saw Dalang took a step back. Then he scratched his head and ran over with a silly smile:

"Brother Dalang is here too. I just remembered to sell some things, and I was afraid that my two sisters would be tired, so I let them rest for a while. Now that I have finished selling, I thought of taking them back first."

Dalang pointed to the liquor store across the street:

"I was working there and happened to see them, so I came over to talk to them."

Little Stone took a look and then realized what was happening. He smiled awkwardly and nodded: "What a coincidence."

After all, people have no obligation to help them look after their children. But they were fine with it yesterday, but today they just left the two children on the roadside, which makes people a little unhappy.

But it would not be good for the people on the street to be so pretentious, and he also remembered that he would come back to look for her, so Dalang asked his two sisters to go with him.

But I was not happy to let my two younger sisters go with them.

Yuan and Xingzi went home and counted their money, and were no longer willing to stay with them.

“What a loss!”

A Yuan nestled in his grandmother's arms sadly.

Xingzi also shed tears:

“We lost a lot of snacks!”

Compared to making money yesterday, I can only keep my capital today!

It's better to work hard on the street yesterday! It's tiring, but at least I made money!

But the adults obviously didn't have time to accompany her. Even Wang and Tuzi at home were busy embroidering.

Old Mrs. Yang couldn’t help them because of her poor eyesight.

Patting the little boy's head lovingly, Old Yang advised:

"Why don't you just forget it? It's really tiring. Don't keep working yourself to the point of not growing taller!"

Old Mrs. Yang felt that Yuan might have taken after her sister, who didn't like to grow taller. Although Old Mrs. Yang had never seen her sister grow up, she could guess that she would probably not be that tall.

Being used to seeing tall people in the family, Mrs. Yang really doesn’t want Yuan to be too short!

Yuan didn't like hearing this and protested:

"My dad said that he also grew up later. He said that it would be fine when I grow up."

Receiving his mother's questioning look, Fu Dabai said:

"Oh, it's okay. What's the big deal about being short? When she grows up, we will be more relaxed!"

Yuan: "...So you were lying to me about your later growth?"

Fu Dabai chose to remain silent.

Yuan chose to lie down in sadness, but still said stubbornly:

"This makes money! It allows grandpa to keep an eye on us!"

After the family moved, everyone found a job and life became much better. Now that they no longer had to do hard labor at the dock, Lao Futou began to sneak around and slack off again.

At this moment, I was caught off guard and called out by Yuan.

The whole family discovered this hidden lazy egg!

Lao Futou: Why... did you suddenly think of me?
