"Your sesame seed cakes are really delicious!"
Seeing Miss Sun insisting on having dinner together, Hou Xiangxiang and Huo Xiaolong admitted, "Really, even if you have a bit of a spoiled princess attitude."
Who are you?
Da Ni'er wouldn't tolerate her behavior. Who isn't a little princess?
"I am Sun Zixi, and I am their friend!"
Da Ni'er glanced at her two friends who were eating silently beside her, and Hou Xiangxiang resignedly put down her chopsticks and said...
"I know her! I know her! But that's all we can do, Miss Sun. Why don't you find someone else?"
The little girl shook her head and said...
"I don't want to, I just love you. I think you look really good when you ignore me, and you're super cool when you're protecting Little Potato!"
"You're the little potato! Your whole family are little potatoes!" Huo Xiaolong retorted, not forgetting to eat, and took a big bite of the white steamed bun!
The little dumpling opened the lunchbox Zhang's mother had packed for her, took out a few grilled sausages, and placed them on Hou Xiangxiang and Dani'er's plates. "Didn't they say she's short? You're going to be so envious!"
Miss Sun had a relatively privileged life since childhood. Looking at the food in front of her that she had never eaten before, the girl swallowed hard. Her upbringing made her too embarrassed to ask for it.
But the grandson sitting next to his sister was not...
"What's this? It smells delicious!"
"This is grilled sausage, and this is fried sausage," Huo Xiaolong pointed with his chopsticks. According to the custom in Northeast China, I usually ask if it tastes good, and the next step is to try some. But the little dumpling didn't seem to have any intention of taking the next step.
Can I buy some?
It's such a big lunchbox, I could sell him two of them.
"One...no...two taels of silver for four sticks!"
This remark caused all three sisters to turn and look at him. What a fool with all his money! Sun Ziyang, who had never been involved in housework since childhood, was quite pleased with himself, while his younger sister couldn't bear to look at him.
The little dumpling reached out to collect the money, and Hou Xiangxiang took the lunchbox and let Sun Ziyang pick it up himself.
The little man is quite manly; he shared half of his sister's food with him.
"It's really delicious! Could you bring me a few more tomorrow?"
Two ounces a day! Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like that. Her brother doesn't know anything about housekeeping, but the girl does.
"Could you offer a discount tomorrow?"
Huo Xiaolong found it quite amusing to see Miss Sun so timid and hesitant as she discussed things with someone for the first time. The little dumpling held up two fingers.
"Two taels of silver! Six sticks!"
"Huh? What am I eating now?" Sun Ziyang felt like he was being ripped off when he heard the price.
"You're just unlucky."
"You're stupid."
"You're rich."
"Fine... um... brother, you should eat it."
After lunch, the three sisters waited at the gate for their family to pick them up from school. Next to the stone lions at the county school gate, Sun Ye and several other women were carrying grain that had just arrived that day in pairs.
"If you ask me, life in the border town is much more comfortable than at home."
"Of course, you can't work at home with your sleeves rolled up and arms exposed."
Most of them were petite and thin, unlike the sturdy women of the border town. Li Wei, who was on a shopping trip with Liu Cheng, somehow ended up at the entrance of the county school.
Looking at the woman, who was covered in sweat but full of life, Officer Liu nudged his childhood friend and said, "Go help her, you idiot, you're just standing there watching."
Why are you attacking me?
"..."
"Could you go up and lend a hand?"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
The man carried a bag of grain in each hand to the county school without saying a word.
"Oh, sir, no need to trouble you."
"It's okay, you guys do your thing."
There wasn't much work, and with everyone working together, it was finished in no time. Sun Ye's son waited for his mother at the door the whole time, sitting in a row with Huo Xiaolong and the others.
Perhaps because the journey of wandering was too arduous, Da Hu became somewhat inseparable from his mother and wanted to stay with her all the time. Fortunately, the child was very well-behaved and usually did not cry, make a fuss, or cause trouble.
Seeing the little boy Li Wei, dressed in casual clothes, tilting his head, I felt he looked somewhat familiar.
"Uncle Armor," he whispered.
"You still remember me?"
Li Wei picked him up and put him on his lap, making Sun Ye a little embarrassed, as she always had to trouble the military officer to help her take care of the child every time they met.
"I remember Uncle Armor who gave me the sesame seed cakes."
"Do you remember the sesame seed cake or Uncle Armor?"
"I remember everything!"
Huo Xiaolong also remembered the mother and son, especially the woman, the petite woman with great energy.
"Long'er!"
Cen Ang and He Yi both came today. I wonder if our daughter is afraid of going to school or if she misses home.
Anyway, the two of them missed their daughter very much. The scene they had hoped for, where Huo Xiaolong would rush into their arms and cry, did not happen. Instead, the little girl took out a coin from her purse.
"Mother, this is the money for the sausages that Young Master Sun ordered. What brings them here?"
It took Cen Ang a while to process what his daughter had said. She had gone to school for half a day and even earned a coin...
"Isn't your husband Feng Yuandao?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"That's your Uncle Zhao, he went to great lengths to get him here. He's quite famous in Beining. I bet the young master and young lady of the Sun family came here because of him."
"Oh, then I'll go back and tell Aunt Zhang that I need to bring sausages again tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll make it for you!"
The little girl got along well with her two mothers in the carriage, and neither of them seemed to mind her.
Hou Xiangxiang sat opposite her mother in the carriage. Madam Hou had already given up on the rules of being a young lady from a prominent family. Now she only hoped that her daughter could behave like a girl, at least not catch a bunch of bugs and put them in her purse.
"Is Xiangxiang happy today?"
"I'm so happy! I earned fifty coins today!" It was Huo Xiaolong who divided it between her and Da Ni'er.
"..."
