All seven of them turned to look at the source of the sound.
Are there other people nearby?
A young man slowly sat up on the cart. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth, but his expression was arrogant. He raised an eyebrow and said without any apology, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
His mother was quick-tempered and straightforward, and for more than ten years she was suppressed by his grandmother's crying, tantrums, threats of suicide, and the pressure of filial piety.
Father had no choice, after all, she was his own mother. In Ming Kingdom, filial piety was the foundation of governance, and being unfilial was a serious crime.
He could only try to persuade his grandmother when she cried and made a fuss; when she threatened to hang herself, he had to kneel down and try to persuade her. This scene, which played out in his home every few days, always left him exhausted, but he was helpless.
After meeting this family today, he suddenly realized that no matter if it was the father or the mother, as long as they were like one of them, the grandmother wouldn't be able to act so recklessly and arrogantly...
Shui Qing and the others then remembered that they had rescued someone on the way.
Fan Jin asked with a warm smile, "It's good that you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
They care more about the brain than the body's water content: "Do you remember your last name and first name?"
Jiang Hehu, even more intrigued, crowded around and chattered, asking, "Big brother, why did you faint?"
"Where do you live? How do you plan to tell your parents? Are they very worried?"
When Bai Ziqian heard that his parents had been informed, he pursed his lips. He had finally escaped that home, and he didn't want to go back!
He wants to live a free and unrestrained life, a life that is not bound by any constraints!
With his head down, his voice was low and desolate: "I was driven out by my parents. I was all alone and had no relatives or friends. I was walking along when I fainted from hunger and collapsed by the roadside."
"Thanks to your kindness in saving my life, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I am willing to work to make up for it!"
Shui Qing: ...Keep making things up!
The five little ones: ...Why is it different from what we saw at the market?
Fan Jiang, being the most simple-minded, couldn't help but ask, "But, before..."
Fan Jin interrupted his son and gently comforted him, saying, "I don't think your parents really want you to leave. Just stay here until they come looking for you."
As for food, let's pay for it with the help we provide."
He then gestured to the children not to ask any further questions.
Shuiqing thought it was a good idea to have more people digging holes since it was time to plant fruit trees.
Well, anyway, their family doesn't support idle people.
"By the way, what's your name?" Fan Jin asked again.
Bai Ziqian was delighted that his trip out went so smoothly. It seemed that the outside world was not a den of dragons and tigers, but rather a very pleasant place.
His still-childish face beamed with a bright smile: "My surname is Hei, and my given name is Man. You can call me Heizi."
Yan Qiuxing replied: They always thought that Daya and Erya's names were casual, but they didn't expect there to be even more casual names than theirs.
Rivers and Lakes: Blackie? If you call out, many of the village dogs will respond.
A hint of sympathy flashed in Shui Qing's eyes: What an awful name!
When it was time for dinner, Bai Ziqian was so shocked that he couldn't speak, holding a rough earthenware bowl that was as big as his head.
Is this a bowl? Are you sure it's not a basin?
"Rice, topped with stir-fried pork kidneys, stir-fried loofah with eggs, and hot and sour shredded potatoes, isn't that a feast?!"
Bai Ziqian pursed his lips, unwilling to answer.
With only three dishes, how can that be considered a feast?
Moreover, "pork kidneys are offal, and they have a strong smell and don't taste good."
Eggs are commonplace, what's so special about them?
Shredded potatoes? What's that? I've never heard of it before.
