Xingxing got the change and continued to hand out the money, "Uncle, we haven't finished buying yet, we also want two boxes of smashing firecrackers and two boxes of cleaning firecrackers."
"Hey, are you guys having fun? Don't blow yourself up."
"Don't worry, uncle. Xiaopang and the others are taking us out to play." Xingxing sold out his teammates without hesitation.
I guess Xiaopang’s behavior of instigating the children to buy firecrackers to play with them will result in a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots when he gets home.
On their way to find playmates, Xingxing and Diandian met Ling Baozhu.
"Grandma, why did you come down?" Xingxing ran over happily while eating spicy noodles. "Grandma, look, the uncle at the store gave me four spicy noodles for one cent. My brother and I each got two."
Ling Baozhu touched her little head and said, "As long as Xingxing is happy, are you free to accompany grandma to meet an elder?"
Meet the elders?
Xingxing immediately nodded with shining eyes.
In her memory, meeting elders means having delicious food and getting red envelopes.
She had saved a lot of money, but her mother said that children's New Year's money and gifts should be used for school, buying clothes and supporting themselves. Not only did she have no money, she also owed her parents a lot.
Oh! Life is so difficult.
Ling Baozhu brought Xingxing and Diandian to Pei Qingshan's old house. The old house had been renovated, and the original mud brick and straw house had been turned into a brick and tile house.
Most families in the village have renovated their houses now that they have money, and no one has suffered from snowstorms in recent years.
In fact, when she came back this time, Ling Baozhu didn’t know what the tribe thought of her, but since this was the tribe of her lover, and the tribe that supported her and her son in their growth, she should come back to take a look.
After the knock on the door, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old opened the door. She had two pigtails and looked clean and fresh.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" the girl asked politely.
Xingxing immediately began her performance, "Sister Xiaoxiu, it's me, I'm Xingxing, I'm back!"
"Xingxing!" Pei Xiaoxiu immediately picked up Xingxing who had squeezed in front of her, "Our Xingxing has grown taller again."
Xingxing struggled to get off the ground, "Sister Xiaoxiu, I'm a big kid now, you can't hold me like this anymore. This is my grandma, we are here to visit our great ancestor."
"Okay, you guys come in first, I'll go see if Grandpa is awake, he's been sleeping a lot lately."
Pei Xiaoxiu poured them some tea and went into the house to check on the condition of Second Uncle. The nearly 100-year-old man looked calm and peaceful at this moment.
"Grandpa, grandpa, wake up, there are guests coming."
Pei Xiaoxiu called out twice, and the person on the bed made a slight noise. "Xiaoxiu, I can't sleep at night at my age, so I have to make up for it during the day. That guest, right? Is he looking for your father or your mother? Tell him that your parents are not at home, and ask him to come back later."
"No, Grandma, she is here to look for you. She said she is the grandmother of Xingxing and Diandian, the mother of my Uncle Yuanzheng."
"What?"
The sleepiness that Second Uncle had originally felt was immediately shaken off. "What did you say? Expedition? Hey, Li Dani is here to see me? I'm not ready yet!"
It’s nothing that he’s gone, he’s lived enough at his age, but it shouldn’t be so sudden, right?
"It's not that one, it's the other one." Pei Xiaoxiu was also confused. Where did Xingxing and Diandian come from? Their grandmother's feast had already been eaten.
When he heard that it was not Li Dani, the second uncle's excited heart eased a little. But when he heard that it was another one, his dusty memories were opened again and his hands began to tremble.
"Hurry, hurry, help me out. Where are my crutches?" Second Uncle was a little flustered. He didn't know whether to take the left or right foot first. He supported himself with crutches and asked, "Xiu'er, have you poured tea for them? Don't be lazy."
"It's poured, it's poured. We're just waiting for you, Grandpa, to get up and entertain us."
Second Uncle walked out of the room tremblingly. The moment he saw Ling Baozhu, his lips began to tremble, "Ling, Ling child?"
"It's me, Second Uncle. I'm back." Ling Baozhu walked to Second Uncle's side, took Pei Xiaoxiu's place, helped him sit down, and took his pulse. "Second Uncle is still in good health."
The second uncle raised his beard and shook his head. "I can't compare with you young people, Lingwa. I'm old. I've lived enough to this age. If I die one day, it will be enough."
"You have a good heart." Ling Baozhu praised him again, "Back then I had no choice but to hand my child over to the clan. Thank you for taking care of him."
