Bai Qing quickly tried to soothe the old man: "Grandpa, don't be angry. I'll burn a few more paper figures for you as soon as it's light. This time, I'll definitely remind the shopkeeper to draw the eyes on them."
Speaking of which, Bai Qing was also very unlucky.
After finishing making the paper figures, the owner of the paper shop received a phone call and went to handle some business.
I only found out when I got back that the employees had sold the paper figures.
The crucial point is that he didn't have Bai Qing's phone number either, and he was extremely anxious. What would happen if the blind man was burned down?
what to do?
Looking at Bai Qing's pitiful state now, the boss probably doesn't want to continue the business.
Bai Nian no longer dared to trust Bai Qing. He angrily said, "You'd better not burn paper figures for me. I'm afraid you'll burn a few more disabled people down and make me angry. I'll visit Old Yang in a dream later. Old Yang is more reliable."
Bai Nian's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Old Yang's granddaughter, Tuan Tuan, is no ordinary person. You can't go wrong by listening to her."
Bai Nian stormed off, cursing, and Bai Qing woke up from his dream.
When he woke up, his face was being slapped repeatedly.
Bai Qing opened his eyes and saw Li Xiaoyun slapping him across the face. He felt even more aggrieved: "Why did you hit me?"
"You think I want to hit you? You were just wailing and crying, and when I called you, you didn't respond. If I don't hit you, I'm afraid Grandpa will take you away!"
Bai Qing sat up, his arm and face aching. He told Li Xiaoyun about his dream, and Li Xiaoyun was stunned.
"Tuantuan is really amazing!" Li Xiaoyun thought of Tuantuan's adorable little face and really wanted to hug the child again.
Bai Qing took off his sleeve and looked at his bruised arm, wincing in pain.
"Grandpa was really ruthless, just like when he was alive." Bai Qing's nose tingled, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Li Xiaoyun comforted him, "This proves that Grandpa is living well in the underworld. Otherwise, how could he have such strength? Grandpa has spent his whole life protecting the country and fighting the Japanese with two guns. He has no regrets. He was great in life, and he will surely be treated well in the underworld!"
With this thought, Bai Qing's mood calmed down a bit.
...
The next morning.
Li Xiaoyun woke up early and made steamed egg custard and shrimp egg pancakes for Tuantuan, both suitable for children.
Yang Nanqiao and Wan Yunzhi took Bai Qing and bought more paper figures to burn for Bainian.
Tuantuan came out of the house and saw Li Xiaoyun bringing out breakfast.
The little girl was wearing a light green dress and a pair of sequined princess shoes. Her hair was tied in a simple bun and adorned with a pretty butterfly hair clip.
"Good morning, Aunt Yun." Tuantuan greeted obediently.
Li Xiaoyun squatted down and gently rubbed the adorable little dumpling.
"Tuantuan, have some breakfast first. When we get back to Beijing, Auntie will make you some other delicious food."
Tuantuan stretched out her delicate little hand, took the spoon, and her clean little face was full of smiles: "Thank you, Aunt Yun, it smells so good!"
"You're welcome, Tuantuan, please have some food."
Tuantuan nodded and ate steamed egg custard, then pancakes, and drank milk.
The little dumpling took a sip of milk, leaving a ring of milk around its upper lip. Coupled with its adorable big eyes, it brought a doting auntie smile to Li Xiaoyun's face.
The little dumpling licked the milk with its tongue and grinned at Li Xiaoyun.
Li Xiaoyun clutched her chest, her heart melting.
What to do? Such an adorable baby, it's a pity he's not hers.
I'm so tempted, I really want to steal it and take it home!
Tuantuan picked up the shrimp her father had peeled, ate a big shrimp, leaned back in her chair contentedly, and patted her round belly, melting hearts with her cuteness.
Li Xiaoyun sat to the side, watching the little rice expert Tuantuan eat with relish. She even ate two pancakes and drank a glass of milk herself.
She was stunned when she realized how much food she had eaten.
She actually ate so much food?
These adorable little dumplings are definitely a perfect accompaniment to meals!
So, the reason she couldn't eat before was because she was facing Bai Qing, not because she was facing the adorable baby?
Bai Qing: "..." I'm not taking the blame for this.
Just as Li Xiaoyun was thinking, Bai Qing returned.
To make up for yesterday's mistake, the owner of the paper craft shop specially gave Bai Qing a paper dog, saying that it was a military dog, different from ordinary dogs, and that Bai Qing, as a soldier, would definitely like it.
Bai Qing burned the food for Bai Nian, then took Yang Nanqiao and Wan Yunzhi to have breakfast at the village entrance, and even packed some food to take back for them.
Bai Qing and Li Xiaoyun thanked Yang Nanqiao and Wan Yunzhi, saying they felt really bad for troubling the Bai family with all the trouble they had gone to.
Yang Nanqiao waved his hand and said kindly, "Your grandfather and I are comrades-in-arms who have gone through thick and thin together, and our bond is stronger than that of brothers. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the Yang family to find me. As long as I can help you, I will never refuse."
Bai Qing was extremely grateful: "Thank you, Grandpa Yang, thank you, Grandma Wan."
Li Xiaoyun was deeply moved and immediately thanked him, saying, "Thank you."
As the little dumpling sat in the chair, she noticed a wisp of yin energy flying out of the room and drifting towards Li Xiaoyun, attempting to enter her body.
Tuantuan ran over quickly, raised her little hand, grabbed it from a distance, kneaded it, and then stuffed it into Xiaomei's mouth.
Xiao Mei's breakfast was exceptionally plentiful, which she liked.
Li Xiaoyun was startled by Tuantuan's sudden action, and Bai Qing also noticed that the faces of the other members of the Yang family were unusually grim, as if some kind of demon or monster had appeared.
Li Xiaoyun was so frightened that her scalp tingled and goosebumps covered her skin. She looked at the little dumpling with fear and unease.
Bai Qing instinctively took Li Xiaoyun's hand and let her lean on him.
