How could such a coincidence happen in such a vast world? Seeing the person I wanted to see in such a huge crowd?
Cao Ji felt that Xia Xia must have missed him too much, so she saw it wrong.
Seeing Xia Xia sad, he also felt sad.
He knew how important this younger brother was to Xia Xia, and this matter had always been a knot in Xia Xia's heart.
He patted her back gently: "Xia Xia, don't worry, I have asked someone to inquire about the place where you and your brother were lost. I will focus on asking and will definitely find our brother."
Hua Fengxia nodded.
"Um."
Cao Ji looked at her slightly red eyes and felt extremely distressed. He picked her up, found a place where no one was around, and kissed her directly.
After the kiss, Hua Fengxia felt much better.
"You really are..." Hua Fengxia blushed and punched Cao Ji's hard chest.
"Xia Xia, doesn't you like it?" Cao Ji leaned close to her ear, his voice low and magnetic.
Well, she really liked it, it was very exciting.
Hua Fengxia kissed Cao Ji on the lips.
After a tender moment, the two walked hand in hand into the bustling market and continued shopping.
"Xia Xia, shall we go for a stroll on the Magpie Bridge? Miss Tangli said that couples who walk hand in hand across the Magpie Bridge will be together for the rest of their lives." Cao Ji said.
Being together for life after life is really something to yearn for.
Hua Fengxia nodded.
The two of them walked hand in hand to visit the Magpie Bridge.
…
Zhuo Shu walked through the bustling market, came to a bookstore and walked in.
The shopkeeper saw Zhuo Shu and greeted him familiarly, "Mr. Zhuo."
"Boss, I've finished copying this book." Zhuo Shu took out two books from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper, "Take a look and see if there are any problems."
The shopkeeper was a little surprised.
This book should take at least a month to copy, but Zhuo Shu actually finished it in just half a month?!
The shopkeeper took the two books, one was the original version and the other was a copied version.
He flipped through a few pages of the copied version. Zhuo Shu's handwriting was as neat as ever and it was a pleasure to read.
According to the bookstore's rules, one had to pay a deposit before taking the original books and blank copies. When Zhuo Shu first came to see him, the first thing he said was that he had no money. The owner, impressed by his handwriting and knowing he was a student at the county school, broke the rules and gave him his first job.
The first book wasn't that thick, and Zhuo Shu copied it. He was very satisfied, so he gave him a second job...
The shopkeeper was very satisfied as always and immediately gave two taels of silver to Zhuo Shu.
"Thank you, boss." Zhuo Shu said, his face slightly red. "Next time you have work..."
"I'll definitely leave it to you."
After thanking him, Zhuo Shu took the money and left.
Zhuo Shu, holding two taels of silver in his arms, turned and walked into a shop selling the four treasures of the study.
Zi'ang's birthday is coming in a few days, and he wants to pick a gift for Zi'ang, so he stayed up late for the past half month and finished copying the book.
Zhuo Shu was attracted by an inkstone, green in color and in the shape of a fish. It looked elegant, flexible, and not rigid.
As soon as Zhuo Shu arrived, he walked to the inkstone and stared at it.
"Young Master, you come here every day, but have you decided to buy it?"
Zhuo Shu came here often. As soon as he arrived, he would look at the inkstone with an expression of great liking. The shop assistants were already familiar with him.
"Well, I want to buy it. Can you help me pack it?" Zhuo Shu said.
"Okay, wait, young master."
The shop assistant quickly helped him pack it.
Zhuo Shu paid the money, one and a half taels of silver, and bought the inkstone.
Zhuo Shu walked out of the store with the inkstone in his pocket, went to the steamed bun shop across the street, bought two steamed buns, and walked towards the county school.
There are still four hundred and ninety-four coins left.
Ninety-four wen is enough to eat for a month, and the remaining nine hundred wen can be saved.
The books from the previous two times were not as thick as this time, and I earned a little more than one or two taels in total. Adding these nine hundred coins, it’s exactly two taels.
When the bookstore owner has work, he can copy three or four more books and collect five taels of silver to pay his father's debt...
Thinking of this, Zhuo Shu suddenly felt hopeful.
This gives people hope, and they become more motivated.
Zhuo Shu couldn't help but quicken his pace.
…
This is the third year that Tangli has come into this world.
This year, Dabao is ten years old, Erbao is nine years old, and Sanbao is five years old.
She still remembers that when she first came, Sanbao was only three years old, a chubby little ball with an ignorant light in his big eyes. He was a little unsteady after walking for a long time. Dabao and Erbao were also two little babies, but in the blink of an eye, they all grew up.
Dabao is ten years old, and a full birthday is very important. Tangli plans to hold a good birthday party for Dabao.
Her eldest son is also a spoiled child, so he must celebrate his birthday well.
Cai and Hua Fengxia naturally also tried their best to help.
"Tangtang, how many people did you invite?" asked the shopkeeper Hua.
"They are all from Hedong County, the Qingyu siblings, the Jiang father and son, and several of Dabao's classmates. There are about six or seven guests." Tangli said.
"Including us, the three tables of banquets are almost ready. I will be in charge of the banquet." said the shopkeeper Hua.
"Fang Jun and I will go shopping. Let's sort out the shopping list first." Cai took on the shopping work.
There is strength in numbers. Even Yan Xiaoduan, who thought he was injured and did nothing, started to work.
"Hey, weren't you dizzy when you walked? Are you not dizzy now?" Tang Li looked at his energetic appearance and said sarcastically.
Yan Xiaoduan is an interesting guy. When he was injured before, he had to act tough and pretend that he was fine.
After his injury healed, he started pretending to be injured again, not working, and lying at home all day.
Now that things are getting lively, I can’t lie down anymore and want to get up and join in the fun.
Tangli naturally had to mock him.
"Hey, thanks to your good words, I don't seem to be dizzy anymore. I feel better suddenly, hehe." After saying this, he jumped out of the door.
Tangli chuckled, this kid is so funny.
With so many people helping, Tangli felt much more relaxed.
Tangli was thinking about what gift to give Dabao.
Dabao actually doesn't lack anything, so I want to give him something special that can express my feelings...
Erbao and Sanbao were also thinking about it secretly.
In the blink of an eye, it was Dabao’s birthday.
It happened that the county school was closed that day, so Dabao and Xu Jue were both at home, and Erbao had also taken a leave of absence.
Dabao is the birthday boy today and is the focus of everyone. Early in the morning, Tangli put new clothes on Dabao.
He was wearing a clean white gown, had delicate eyebrows and big black eyes, and a straight body. He was a handsome young man.
Xu Jue looked at him, his eyes lit up, and he gave him a thumbs up.
"nice."
"Dabao is so pretty."
"Dabao has really grown up."
Everyone praised him, and Dabao's face turned slightly red.
"Happy birthday, go sit down."
Dabao was urged to sit down. Seeing everyone busying themselves for him, he felt warm inside.
Xu Jue brought Erbao to greet guests at the door.
The guests also arrived one after another.
Shopkeeper Hua, who was busy with his work, glanced casually at the door and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
The next moment, his facial features twisted violently, and his eyes moved, as if he was about to laugh, but also as if he was about to cry.
