When passing by grandma's house, Li Yan saw Daya cutting grass for pigs. Standing outside the door, she asked, "Sister, are you free today? Why don't you accompany me to town?"
When the little cousin beside him heard that they were going to town, the steamed bread in his hand immediately lost its fragrance. He rushed towards Li Yan with his short legs, hugged Li Yan's thighs and said coquettishly: "Second sister, good second sister, take me with you!"
Li Yan looked at him with amusement, thinking that since she had nothing to do today, it would not be impossible to take him to town.
He demanded with a fierce face: "You can go if you want, but you are not allowed to act like a spoiled child and ask to be carried!"
When the little guy heard his second sister's agreement, he immediately nodded in agreement!
By this time, Daya had finished her work, tidied herself up, and the three of them prepared to go out.
At this time, Mrs. Wu came out of the room and told the two to take good care of Maomao. She also reminded Maomao not to run around and to stay with his sister, otherwise he would be kidnapped by the beggar!
After Wu gave her instructions, the three were released!
After walking about a mile, the child's excitement made him exhausted. Sweat ran down his forehead and wet his hair. The little guy remembered that he had promised his sister not to act like a spoiled child or complain of being tired, so he didn't say a word.
Daya picked up her younger brother with heartache. In order to show that he could walk by himself, the child kicked his legs!
Li Yan patted the little one's head and said, "It's sunny, let me hold you. We'll go take a boat ride after a while!"
The three of them came to the boat boarding area and boarded a small boat. It was Maomao's first time on a boat. He was excited but also a little scared. He nestled in Daya's arms and didn't dare to move!
In the boundless river, the waves were calm. Li Yan put her hand in hers, and the cool touch soothed her hot heart a little!
Soon the boat docked, and a number of coolies carrying bags gathered at the dock, most of them wearing straw sandals and bare-chested. Since the tax was introduced, there had been many more helpers at the dock.
The three of them walked to the city gate and went straight into the city without queuing.
The last time the little ones had been to the city was during the Chinese New Year, and they were so excited that they kept looking around. They spent a long time wandering around the city gate.
The three of them walked to a stall selling meat patties. The little guy could no longer walk. He stared at the meat patties with his eyes wide open, almost drooling.
Li Yan looked at her little cousin with amusement. She had let him try many delicious foods these days, so how could he not resist the temptation?
No wonder the child couldn't walk. The pie was fried in oil, and the meat-wrapped pie was fried until golden brown and crispy.
When the boss saw customers coming, he worked even harder to sell them.
Li Yan stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how much is this pie?"
The young boss introduced enthusiastically: "Three cents each, five cents for two!"
Li Yan Li Yan spent ten cents and bought four.
My little cousin got the meat pie he had been longing for and started eating it without caring that it was hot.
Li Yan quickly stopped him, took the pancake and blew on it for a long time before handing it to her little cousin.
The little guy, who had been patient for a long time, took the biscuit and started eating it greedily.
Seeing him like this, Li Yan guessed that her grandmother had been stingy again recently. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that it was all because of poverty!
Li Yan led the two of them to a secluded place, shared the meat patties, and wiped the little guy's greasy hands and mouth with a handkerchief before going to the embroidery shop.
When they passed by Piaoxianglou, Daya pointed at the restaurant and told her younger brother that her elder brother worked in this restaurant.
Maomao curiously poked his head out and peeked into the restaurant. He happened to see his elder brother greeting customers inside and couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
