Chapter 268 Sending Candied Haws
Ye Mingzhu opened the cabin door and Ye Yunan was standing outside with a panicked look on his face: "Sister, someone just fainted."
"I just said something to him and he fainted in front of me, bang..." Ye Yun'an gestured with his hands, obviously frightened.
Ye Mingzhu frowned. The boat had only been sailing for a short time, so how come someone fainted?
Uncle Yan came over soon and let the two of them into the cabin. He whispered, "It's the first time for a brother and sister to take a boat. They didn't prepare any seasickness medicine. Fortunately, there is some on the boat, and someone has already delivered it."
Ye Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions, but just restrained Ye Yun'an, not allowing him to go to the deck again, and asked him to stay in the cabin for two days first.
Uncle Yan also felt that Ye Mingzhu was right and assigned Ye Yun'an homework.
Ye Yun'an didn't expect that he would have homework on the boat. He reluctantly went to get paper and pen, preparing to return to his cabin to start practicing calligraphy.
There were limited cabins on the official ship, and in order to avoid trouble, they only booked two cabins, and Uncle Yan and Ye Yunan lived together.
For the next few days, Ye Mingzhu sat in the cabin and did not go out. Fortunately, she knew it would be boring on the ship, so she bought a lot of snacks and storybooks.
A lot of snacks were distributed to Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an, and the storybook was hidden in her cabin.
After sailing for several days, the official ship arrived in Donglian County and had to stay here for half a day.
For a moment, the entire official ship became bustling. In addition to the people getting off the ship here, there were also many people going out to buy things.
Ye Yun'an also wanted to go out and buy something. He looked at Ye Mingzhu with bright eyes and said, "Sister, I also want to get off the boat and take a look."
Ye Mingzhu did not stop him, but only told him to take Uncle Yan with him and not to run around.
Ye Yun'an's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not run around."
Ye Mingzhu tidied his clothes and reminded him, "You must come back in an hour, otherwise the boat won't wait for you."
"No problem, I promise to come back on time." Ye Yun'an didn't wait for his sister to say anything else and was about to pull Uncle Yan off the boat.
Uncle Yan nodded to Ye Mingzhu: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Yun An back safely."
Ye Mingzhu believed Uncle Yan, and after the two men left, she waited for a while before going to the deck.
Perhaps because most people had disembarked, there were few people on the deck, and it was much quieter than the previous few days.
"Sister, I also want to get off the boat and go for a walk." A boy's voice with a baby voice sounded beside him.
"An Baoer, there are too many people on this boat. You were seasick a few days ago and don't have much strength. How about you just stay on the boat and take a look?" The woman next to the boy gently comforted him.
The boy shook his head: "No, I want to go down and take a look. I haven't been here before."
Although his face was full of anticipation and he kept stamping his feet, he only pulled at his sister's clothes and did not run off the boat by himself.
The woman's clothes were a little messy because of him pulling them. She quickly grabbed them back and her voice became a little stern: "An Baoer, have you forgotten that you almost got lost last time when you were running around?"
The expectation on the boy's face froze. He pouted and whispered something, but did not try to get off the boat.
The woman comforted the boy a few more times, and although he stopped making noise, he looked down at the boat with anticipation in his eyes.
When Ye Mingzhu was about to look away, her gaze met the woman's as she looked up.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that someone had heard what she had just said to her brother, and her face turned slightly red.
Ye Mingzhu nodded at her and looked away.
The woman hurriedly pulled her brother back to the cabin, but her brother refused to go back. Even if he couldn't get off the boat, he would stay in the cabin for a while.
The woman had no choice but to stay on the deck with her brother and watch people coming and going on the dock.
After a while, Ye Yun'an came back jumping and skipping, holding a bunch of things in his hands, the most obvious of which were the two strings of candied haws.
"Sister, I bought two strings of candied haws. They are delicious. Here, I give them to you." Ye Yun'an excitedly handed the candied haws in his hand to Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu had just taken the candied haws and was about to say something when she heard crying behind her.
"I want to eat candied haws, too. I want to eat candied haws..."
Ye Mingzhu looked back and saw that it was the brother and sister from before. The boy was staring at her, holding a candied haws in his hand, tears in his eyes, and pulling at the hem of his sister's clothes.
Ye Yun'an quickly hid the candied haws in his hand behind his back. When the woman saw his action, her face immediately turned red.
She squatted down to comfort her brother, but the effect was not very good. The little boy stared at Ye Yun'an and wanted to eat the candied haws.
Perhaps she had no other choice, so she walked over here. Ye Mingzhu thought she was looking for them, but she didn't expect her to get off the boat. The boatman shook his head and said that the boat was about to leave and she couldn't get off.
The woman bit her lower lip and assured the boatman that she was just getting off the boat to buy something and would be back soon.
The boatman shook his head and said that the time was up and we could no longer get off the boat.
Ye Mingzhu caught a glimpse of the commotion here from the corner of her eye and whispered a few words to Ye Yun'an, who seemed a little unhappy.
"Sis is already an adult and doesn't like eating candied haws anymore. Give this candied haws to that little brother. Didn't you say he fainted before getting on the boat? Maybe he'll get better after eating this candied haws."
Ye Mingzhu really couldn't stand the way the little boy looked at the candied haws, so she, as an adult, had to bite the candied haws under the child's expectant gaze.
Forget it, she’s not that greedy.
Ye Yun'an was a little unhappy: "I bought that for my sister."
Ye Mingzhu touched his head and whispered, "Yun'an, little brother is still young. If he keeps crying like this, he will get hurt. Look how worried his sister is."
Ye Yun'an looked at the crying little boy.
The woman was explaining to him, but the little boy just shook his head. Although his crying became quieter, his sobbing made him look even more pitiful.
Ye Yun'an finally relented: "Okay, then give it to him."
Ye Mingzhu handed the candied haws in her hand to Ye Yun'an and asked him to pass it on.
Although Ye Yun'an was somewhat unhappy, he still took the candied haws and handed it to the little boy.
Before the woman could refuse, the little boy took the candied haws and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
The woman had a complicated expression and wanted to refuse, but the little boy just looked at her and asked pitifully, "Sister, can I eat it?"
Ye Yun'an had already turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, how much is this candied haws?" The woman was trying to pay in a panic.
Ye Yun'an shook his head: "My sister asked me to give this to my little brother. It's free."
After saying that, he immediately walked towards Ye Mingzhu. The little boy also bit off the top hawthorn. The woman felt helpless and sighed.
Ye Yun'an returned to Ye Mingzhu and raised his string of candied haws to Ye Mingzhu's mouth: "Sister, you eat it."
Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to bite a hawthorn. The moment she bit it, her mouth was flooded with saliva, it was too sour.
She chewed quickly and finished the hawthorn in her mouth, then she breathed a sigh of relief. The woman and the boy walked up to her.
