Chapter 107 A look of intoxication!
Cai the peddler said, "How shameless! This is all my ability. These are just copper coins, worthless, worthless... Just give the children something to cheer them up, something toy."
Erbao added, "Grandma, we like it very much. We are reluctant to wear the sachet and put it under our pillow as a treasure. The sachet is also very beautifully embroidered..."
Cai the peddler blushed even more, "I'm glad you like them. These sachets were embroidered by your grandmother in the past. Now she's blind and can't embroider anymore. These are the ones Erfeng treasured. We sold all the sachets at home..."
I exchanged it for silver a long time ago to live on.
Erbao and the other kids looked at each other.
Sure enough, it was exactly as they had guessed.
The lucky charm was given by Cai Erfeng.
Cai Dashan is not that kind of person.
Cai the peddler only paid in copper coins.
Mrs. Cai is blind.
Cai's daughter-in-law did not participate.
Only Cai Erfeng is left!
Cai also understood, she said, "Dad, I have to thank Erfeng sister for her hard work. She was so tired yesterday. Erfeng sister was not so enthusiastic before..."
Cai the peddler did not know the deeper meaning of Cai's words. He thought it was a sign of reconciliation between the two sisters.
He said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, after Erfeng got married, she became much more sensible and her words are more pleasant to the ears. She is not as straightforward as before. She is also much better at dealing with people. She is also highly valued by her husband's family. Our family has had a hard time in the past few years. Sometimes we ran out of food, and it was Erfeng who brought us food. She also paid for my medicine and medical treatment when I had no money. She lived nearby and went to her parents' home every now and then. Her husband's family had no objections and they are very reasonable people."
"That's great. Is Erfeng's family still the same grain store in the county town?" Cai said.
Cai the peddler said, "Yes, after she got married, her husband's family, which used to run a grain store, now has several branches. Her husband has also passed the imperial examination and become a scholar in the past two years. Life at home is pretty good. The only flaw is that Erfeng is not pregnant with a boy or girl yet. Fortunately, her son-in-law, a scholar, is devoted to studying and has not taken a concubine or other concubines. As your sister Erfeng said, she and her mother-in-law are of the same mind. They want to expand the grain store at home so that her husband can have a son. In the future, she also wants to be the wife of a top scholar. Her ambition is good, but she is a little too ambitious..."
Cai the peddler saw that Cai's face looked a little ugly.
I thought Cai was just jealous.
She added hurriedly, "She was wrong to snatch your marriage away. The scholar-son-in-law was also angry with her because of this matter and didn't sleep with her for a year. When she first got married, her life was not easy. It was only in the past two years that she got along well with her mother-in-law..."
While the adults were talking, little Yuanbao couldn't sit still, so he stood up and strolled around the Cai family's yard.
Erbao was afraid that his sister would wander off, so he hurried forward to protect her.
The Cai family has two children who are not very old, about the same age as Erbao and Sanbao. They are a pair of siblings. They look at Xiao Yuanbao and the others with snotty noses and curiosity.
Erbao glanced over and found that they were also wearing the same sachets around their waists!
The two children were wearing patched clothes and were covered in dust and dirt. The older one was dark-skinned while the younger one was skinny, and their eyes seemed to have no spirit.
There is no comparison with his sister Xiao Yuanbao.
Little Yuanbao's eyes are as bright as stars and are so clear that they make people's eyes brighten.
Before Erbao could say anything, Xiao Yuanbao took the initiative to go over and greet them.
"Hello, little brother, little sister..."
The two children took a step back, a little shy.
They should be the hosts of this house, but they don't take the initiative to greet guests when they come. Even if others greet them, they are afraid.
Little Yuanbao persisted, "Little brother, little sister, the sachets on your waists are so beautiful, who gave them to you?"
She discovered it too.
Of this pair of siblings, the older brother is a little braver, and people even ask questions directly to their faces.
He whispered, "It was given by my second aunt..."
The second aunt is Cai Erfeng!
Little Yuanbao frowned, "I like it very much. Can you give it to me? I'll give it to you in exchange for food..."
He felt around his waist and took out two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus and red date cakes.
When she went out today, Cai brought her some snacks for the day.
She hasn't had time to eat yet.
The two siblings were almost drooling as they looked at the pastries in Xiao Yuanbao's hands.
But he still hesitated, "Second Aunt told us to carry it with us and not lose it..."
Little Yuanbao rolled his eyes and said cunningly, "This sachet is worn out, but you can still exchange it for sweet-scented osmanthus cake. You are lucky! If you don't exchange it, we will leave soon and there will be no chance!"
Of the two siblings, the younger sister was so drooling that her mouth was about to drop.
I haven't eaten pastries for a long time.
When my family was well off, I could still afford it. Only after I tried it did I realize what it tasted like. It was so fragrant and delicious.
She couldn't help but whispered, "I'll change."
As he spoke, he quickly took off the sachet and timidly handed it to Xiao Yuanbao.
Xiao Yuanbao took it and gave her a piece of cake as promised.
The little girl broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth.
A look of intoxication!
"It's delicious, brother. You should exchange it too. The sachet is old and you can't get anything else for it..." the little girl said softly.
"Okay, I'll change too!" The little boy finally couldn't help it.
Xiao Yuanbao successfully got today's snack and exchanged two pieces of cake for two old Ba sachets.
Over there, Cai also came out from the main room.
Cai the peddler said, "Are you in such a hurry to leave? It won't be too late to leave after lunch, okay? I'm building a house at home, and I'm in a hurry to go back and see it. Forget it, be careful on the road, and bring the children back to play more often when you have time. Dad welcomes you. I will teach your eldest brother a lesson. As long as I am alive, I will not let him harm you..."
"Okay, Dad. Don't worry, take care of yourself."
Cai returned to the carriage, took down two bags of grain and a few pounds of meat from the carriage, and returned to Cai's house to give them to Cai the peddler.
"I forgot to bring it just now, Dad. I am not very capable, and I rely on my son to support me. I can only do my best to show my appreciation. I don't have money to give, and I don't have enough money to build a house, but I still have some food, so I brought some food. Dad, please accept it."
What does it mean to forget?
It's not that I forgot, it's just that I didn't know whether the talisman had any connection with Cai the peddler before deciding whether to give him the thing or not.
If Cai the peddler also gets involved, then we won’t have to carry the things anymore.
Cai the peddler was innocent and had not harmed her offspring, so she carried the things for him out of consideration for their past friendship.
"Oh, there are dozens of kilograms of food here, it's too much. Take it back. It will last you and your children for a month or two. There's also meat. Take it back. Dad said that if he doesn't want your things, then don't take them. Take it back..."
After some excuses.
Little Yuanbao said happily, "Grandma, this is from my mother and us as a gift to you, please accept it!"
