Chapter 98: No Danger

This is a great happy event for the entire Yu family.

After the shop lease was completed, it was almost time for Huai'er and his friends to go to school.

Mrs. Wei happily took her whole family to the county town.

The shop was in a good location, not in an alley, but next to a busy street paved with bluestone slabs. Except for the shabby door, everything else was perfect in Wei's eyes.

The yard behind the shop is not big, it can even be called cramped. Apart from the four rooms, there is only a few steps left in the yard.

Perhaps because of this, the prices in this shop are not very expensive.

Mrs. Wei waved her hand and led her eldest and third daughters-in-law to clean up each room.

The sons were busy in the shop in front.

Bai Xiaofeng also came this time. She was already three months pregnant and the baby looked very healthy. She could eat and sleep well and was full of energy. Whether it was buying a shop or sending the boys to school, it was a big deal for the Yu family. She didn't want to stay at home alone, so she came along.

Everyone in the family was busy cleaning up, and Bai Xiaofeng was not idle either. She picked up two copper pots and took Xingxing to a stall selling cold tea on the street. She spent ten cents to buy two pots of cold tea.

Xing Xing was very eager to help Bai Xiaofeng carry a pot. Bai Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Second Auntie shouldn't be unable to carry even this. But you, a little guy, how can you walk with a copper pot in both hands?"

Xingxing was convinced and nodded.

The two walked back along the street. There was a lot of noise ahead, mixed with the shouting of many people.

Xing Xing saw a horse-drawn carriage rushing towards her at the end of the street without any reason, knocking over many people's stalls. The shouts were made by the people who were fleeing in all directions.

Fortunately, there was a store nearby, and Xing Xing anxiously pulled Bai Xiaofeng inside to hide.

Bai Xiaofeng also saw it, and hurriedly followed Xingxing to dodge, but there were a few people standing at the door of the store. Bai Xiaofeng bumped into them slightly, and some of the tea in the pot spilled out and splashed onto the corners of their clothes.

At this moment, the carriage knocked over the small stall selling hand-tied brooms that Bai Xiaofeng and Xing Xing had just passed by, and whizzed past.

The stall owner hid in the corner and escaped.

——If Xing Xing and Bai Xiaofeng had not dodged in time, they would have been knocked to the ground by now.

"Aunt, are you okay?" Xingxing was a little anxious.

Bai Xiaofeng's face turned pale. She shook her head and looked at the person they almost bumped into just now.

The other party was a boy and a girl. The girl was older, about twelve or thirteen years old, and very pretty, while the boy looked younger, only about ten years old.

The two look similar, they should be a brother and sister.

Behind them were two servant-like figures, who obviously did not come from ordinary families.

One of the boys was wearing a moon-white robe, with some cool tea splattered on the corners of his robe, leaving some dark stains.

Bai Xiaofeng was a little uneasy.

Xing Xing had already apologized for the splash of tea: "Sorry, we didn't mean to do that."

Xingxing is young and cute, and she acted very well when she apologized. The teenager was a little unhappy at first, but now he lost his temper and just pursed his lips without saying a word.

Bai Xiaofeng also hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, how about you take off the clothes and give them to me, I'll go back and wash them for you and then send them back to your house, do you think this is okay?"

The teenager noticed Bai Xiaofeng's slightly bulging belly and sneered.

"Forget it, I don't have much money." The teenager waved his hand.

"But……"

Bai Xiaofeng wanted to say something, but the girl said, "Besides, it's not your fault. It was the carriage that ran sideways, and you were trying to avoid it."

Bai Xiaofeng was deeply moved by the other party's understanding and thanked him repeatedly.

Xing Xing also felt that the brother and sister in front of her were a really nice pair of people: "Brother and sister are so nice."

The girl's eyes fell on Xingxing, and she obviously thought she was very cute. She couldn't help but reached out and touched Xingxing's little face. She felt that it was soft and elastic and felt very good.

She couldn't help but say to Bai Xiaofeng, "Your daughter is so cute."

"This is my niece." Bai Xiaofeng smiled with a hint of pride, "I wish I could give birth to such a lovely daughter."

While the girl was talking to Bai Xiaofeng, the boy looked at Xing Xing a few more times.

Xingxing felt the other person's gaze on her and smiled at him.

The teenager immediately looked away.

This matter was safe and sound. After saying hello to the other party, Bai Xiaofeng took two pots of cold tea and brought Xingxing back to the Yu family's newly purchased shop.

Bai Xiaofeng described the thrilling experience to her family with great excitement, and said with emotion: "...the brother and sister are really nice."

The Yu family all felt the same way.

After cleaning up the courtyard, Mrs. Wei asked Yu Sanbao to take Huai Ge'er and a few others with her, buy some things as gifts for their apprenticeship, and send them to the teacher first.

Xingxing and Ju Ge'er both wanted to go and take a look.

Su Rouer thought that Ju Ge'er would only cause trouble if he went with them, and was about to say something, but Mrs. Wei said, "If Ju Ge'er wants to go, then let him go. In two years, Ju Ge'er will be old enough to be enlightened. Let him go and see how his brothers respect their teachers, so that he can learn from them in the future."

Su Rouer felt warm in her heart, as her mother-in-law was always thinking about Ju Ge'er.

She didn't say anything else.

When Yu Sanbao brought his four nephews, one niece and his own stupid son to the Master's house, there were already visitors there.

Xingxing looked out and said, "Hey, isn't this the nice brother and sister I met before?"

The girl was startled at first when she saw so many people coming, then she noticed Xing Xing peeking over and laughed, "It's you."

Xing Xing greeted the girl sweetly: "Hello, sister."

She also did not forget to introduce them to Yu Sanbao and several brothers: "...this is the very nice brother and sister that my aunt and I met on the street earlier!"

The girl was obviously enjoying it very much, and her smile deepened.

She was enthusiastic and generous. After a chat, it turned out that she had also brought her younger brother to give the teacher a gift of apprenticeship.

The girl's name is Fan Pingfang and her brother's name is Fan Xingru. They also plan to come to study with the teacher after the summer is over.

In this way, several young men from the Yu family got to know their future classmates in advance.

Yu Sanbao felt deeply gratified.

On the other hand, Brother Ju couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw that his four brothers were about to go back to school and already had a new friend, Fan Xingru.

Boys always cling to their older brothers more.

"In two years, I will go to school with my brothers. Then you can just play at home by yourself." Ju Ge'er said to Xing Xing seriously.

Xing Xing tilted her head, looking a little longingly: "In two years, Xing Xing will definitely be taller, right?"

I didn't get the boasting in Brother Ju'er's words at all.
