Chapter 8: Catching a Turtle in a Jar



"Silly girl, how can you not be cold? It's the seventh and eighth days of the twelfth lunar month, and the crows are frozen to death. It would be strange if you aren't cold." Tao Xiaoxi pulled her clothes tighter and hugged Beibei tightly.

After waiting for a while, Li Nanshan didn't come out, but I saw two boys coming out of Li's house.

"Beibei, do you know them?" Tao Xiaoxi asked, pointing at the two brothers.

"I know them, Da Mao and Er Mao." Beibei said.

"Then go and call them over for me."

"Okay." Beibei left Taoxiaoxi and ran towards Damao and Ermao.

Da Mao and Er Mao are the two sons of the second son of the Li family. They are the kind that are spoiled to the point of being lawless.

But the two of them only listen to Beibei's words and follow her lead, which seems to be a bit like they are vying for favor.

"Is your third uncle at home?" Tao Xiaoxi asked.

"At home." The two brothers said in unison.

"Then can you help my sister call them out?" Tao Xiaoxi looked at them.

"Da Mao and Er Mao, she is my mother, and my mother would never lie." Bei Bei said righteously.

"Okay then. I'll go call."

"I'll go too."

The two brothers chased each other and ran home.

Tao Xiaoxi suddenly remembered something and took one of Beibei's hairbands. She finally tied up her black hair and then braided Beibei's hair. Now, mother and daughter had the same hairstyle. With her hair tied up, Tao Xiaoxi immediately looked like a person, a bit like a sick Xi Shi, mainly because she hadn't fully recovered yet, her face was pale, and her body was too thin.

When Li Nanshan came over, he saw Tao Xiaoxi and his daughter sitting there upright, so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Li Nanshan, please listen to my explanation." Tao Xiaoxi hurriedly called him.
