Chapter 223: Should I build a cenotaph?
After seeing off Grandma Du and the others, Little Tangbao skipped to the mansion to borrow a carriage.
"Are you going to the market?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
"Yeah." Little Tangbao nodded with a smile, "My dad said he was going to the market to buy a carriage, so this is the last time our family can borrow a carriage."
Speaking of which, when Xiao Tangbao came to borrow the carriage, Old Man Su and his wife originally did not agree.
However, Xiao Tangbao thought that if he didn't come to borrow it, the carriage would be waiting for him at the village entrance, so he might as well come by himself.
It's always a coincidence, and it's too deliberate.
Xuanyuan Jin frowned after hearing this.
Little Tangbao was very lucky that his brother didn't tell anyone and he was going to the market too.
It’s not that she dislikes her little brother, but she can notice that her parents are always a little restrained when facing her little brother.
Her parents went to the market today.
"Brother, do you want to buy anything? I can bring it back to you." Xiao Tangbao asked.
Xuanyuan Jin shook his head, "Go early and come back early. Don't squeeze into crowded places, don't go to sparsely populated places to play, and don't run around everywhere, lest you run into bad people..."
"Brother, you're so nagging." Little Tangbao said with a smile, "You're so nagging at such a young age. How much more nagging will you be when you grow up?"
Xuanyuan Jin paused, "No conscience!"
Wang Zhong stood aside with a smile on his face, thinking: Others would like the young master to say a few more words, would you be willing?
**
The carriage rumbled along.
Su Xiaoliu drove the car, and Old Man Su, Old Lady Su, Big Brother Su and Little Tangbao sat in the car.
There is a big market in Fengwei Town every five days, and today happens to be market day.
"Dad, are we really going to buy a carriage?" Boss Su hesitated and said, "I think my uncle's ox cart is pretty good. We might as well buy one and save some money."
Oxen are cheaper than horses, and although ox carts are slow, they are stable.
"Are you going to let your sister ride in a ox cart when she goes out in the future?" Old Man Su glanced at Boss Su in a bad mood.
The light in his eyes indicated that if his son dared to say yes, he would slap him in the face.
Boss Su, “…”
The look in his father's eyes.
The desire to survive is activated immediately.
"Dad, let's buy a carriage!"
Boss Su readily changed his words.
My sister is the village chief, how can she ride in a bullock cart when she goes out?
It’s still more majestic and impressive to ride in a carriage!
Little Tangbao never thought that her father wanted to buy a horse carriage instead of an ox cart because of her.
However, thinking that a horse-drawn carriage was much faster than an ox-drawn carriage, she decided not to say more about it.
"Sixth brother, stop the car." Xiao Tangbao shouted outside.
"What's the matter?" Old Mrs. Su asked immediately.
Old Man Su and Big Brother Su also looked at Xiao Tangbao.
"Mom, I can't hold it anymore." Little Tangbao said with a red face.
She couldn't help but want to get off the car to relieve herself.
When Old Mrs. Su saw her little girl's shy look, she smiled instead.
"Mom will carry you."
"I can go by myself."
Anyway, the wastelands or farmlands on both sides of the road are natural toilets.
On this point, Xiao Tangbao is still very open-minded.
After all, there are no public toilets, right?
Su Xiaoliu stopped the car and carried Xiao Tangbao down.
Old Mrs. Su also insisted on getting off the car and followed her little girl.
"Mom, just wait for me here."
After saying this, Xiao Tangbao plunged into the wasteland.
The half-human-high weeds were enough to completely cover the little Tangbao.
Old Mrs. Su shook her head in amusement.
Really, what's there to be shy about with your mother?
Other girls of this age can’t even wipe their butts clean, so how can they feel shy?
But my daughter is different from other girls.
However, my little girl is different from others.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Su felt sincerely proud.
There was a rustling sound in the grass.
Little Tangbao frowned and wiped his little butt painfully with a few large leaves he had picked up.
Every time she goes to the bathroom, she misses modern toilet paper.
Alas! Although she was lucky and blessed, God could not conjure up toilet paper for her.
How to solve the problem of wiping the butt?
Little Tangbao walked back with a frown on his face and almost tripped over something.
Looking down, I saw a black disc-shaped object.
Little Tangbao bent down and picked it up.
It turned out to be a magnet.
She knew it was a magnet because it attracted a few nails.
Magnets are not common, and Xiao Tangbao was reluctant to throw them away, so he took them back.
My sixth brother must like to play.
"Tangbao, what is this?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
My little girl has become accustomed to picking up things from time to time.
However, it looks like a piece of iron.
"Mom, this is...I don't know either."
Xiao Tangbao changed his words halfway through.
After all, she was just a child and shouldn't know what this thing was called.
"Mom, this thing is very interesting, look..."
Xiao Tangbao said as he took off the iron nails that were stuck on it.
Then he let go, and the nail was sucked back in with a "whoosh".
"This is a novel gadget." Old Mrs. Su said curiously.
After saying that, he took it and tried it himself.
The mother and daughter returned to the carriage, and Xiao Tangbao immediately showed off the magnet she had picked up to her sixth brother.
"Sixth brother, let me give you something fun." Little Tangbao said with a smile.
"Sister, what did you pick up again?" Su Xiaoliu said excitedly.
No need to ask, my sister must have picked up something good again.
"It's not a good thing, it's just fun."
Xiao Tangbao said this and demonstrated it to Su Xiaoliu.
Su Xiaoliu immediately took the magnet happily, took off the nails on it, and then let go -
“Ding-ding-dang-dang…”
All the nails were sucked back.
Su Xiaoliu's eyes lit up.
"Sister, this thing is amazing! If we use it to make a weapon, the enemy's moves will definitely be messed up when fighting." Su Xiaoliu said excitedly, "Brother Zhao said it's called a mistake... That's right, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. A slight deviation in the moves will lead to a completely different result..."
When Xiao Tangbao saw the burning look in his sixth brother's eyes, he suddenly realized that his sixth brother's dream of becoming a general might come true.
Perhaps, although my sixth brother is not good at literature, he does have a talent for martial arts.
Old Man Su and Brother Su were also curious when they saw the magnets.
"This thing should be called... magnet." Old Man Su frowned and thought, "I've heard people say that there are such things on ships sailing at sea..."
When Old Man Su said this, he suddenly stopped.
When the word "going out to sea" was mentioned, I immediately thought of my third son.
Then, he subconsciously looked at his wife.
Sure enough, Mrs. Su's eyes dimmed.
Recently, the third son has been mentioned and thought about frequently, which makes Mrs. Su feel like a huge stone is pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Could it be that... the third brother has really been eaten by the fish and no trace of his body has been left?
After death, there is no incense offering or worship, so he suffers from hunger and cold in the underground...
Should we build a cenotaph for the third brother?
When Old Mrs. Su thought of this, she couldn't help but feel very sad.
When Old Man Su saw Old Lady Su's expression, he knew that his wife must be thinking of the third brother again. He felt a little uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, Xiaoliu, let's go quickly. If we're late, we won't be able to buy everything."
"I know, Dad."
Su Xiaoliu whipped the horse whip and drove the carriage towards the town in an orderly manner.
But, I was still thinking about the magnet.
