Wen Ruzhu shook her head.
"I don't want it. We won't even need those flowers when we're fleeing from the famine.
On the contrary, sir, you are a very capable person. Now that I have coaxed you, I can learn a lot of medical knowledge from you.
This time when I was fleeing from famine, I saw Ai Ai and the others had a fever but I was powerless to help them. At that time, I just hated myself for not learning the skills well enough.
Perhaps God heard my cry and sent you here. From now on, I can study medicine with you diligently and conscientiously.
Although you don't admit that you are my master, in my heart, you are more powerful than my master.
Once a teacher, always a master. From now on, I will treat you like my mother and be filial to you."
The little girl spoke shyly, looking at him cautiously, as if she was afraid of making him unhappy by speaking so directly.
Such a pure little girl made the old man, who had been hurt by human nature for too long, unable to utter a word.
Do you say she is naive, or that she is too stupid!
In the end, the old man just laughed.
"Girl, I'm afraid you're too stupid to remember. I, an old man, have a bad temper. If you don't learn well, I'll scold you."
"I'm not afraid, hehe..."
"Xiu, your aunt and the old man seem to get along quite well. Do you trust this old man?"
The old lady whispered to Xiushui again.
I glanced at the young aunt diligently handing food to the old man. Her fawning smile was so unbearable to look at.
"Grandma, my aunt is still too naive. However, perhaps it is because of her sincerity that the old man can get close to her.
Only then can you be defenseless against her!"
The old lady nodded.
“Yes, I also noticed that when the old man mentioned becoming a disciple, his face was filled with sadness.
It's clear that he's a man with a story to tell, and judging by the situation, this old man should also be a kind person."
Xiushui also agreed with this statement. After all, a real villain would only become vicious and cruel when hurt by his apprentice.
But this old man was just sad and miserable. Other than that, he wasn't vicious or cruel.
Indirectly speaking, this old man actually had a sincere heart, which is why he was stabbed all over.
Because normally, a venomous person won't be hurt by human feelings. They will only become more venomous, more vicious, and more ferocious!
It would be a good choice for my aunt to study medicine with him.
"After you finish eating, go to bed quickly. It's a rare opportunity to rest today, so go to bed. You guys, don't have to ride the cart anymore. You'll be refreshed after a good rest."
I was fleeing from famine every day, always busy with this or that, and I couldn't sleep well every night.
After eating and drinking their fill, the family tidied up a bit and then fell asleep on the mat-covered floor.
The old man rested his head and looked at the night sky for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"Forget it, I, an old man, have nowhere to go anyway.
Rather than living like a beggar every day, I might as well follow them.
I never thought that after living for most of my life, I would have to flee famine with the refugees.
My dear ancestors, I have become like this... I am a disgrace to you.
That girl is really silly... I have to warn her all the time not to trust people too much..."
Early the next morning, Xiushui went out to exchange money, and when she came back she was carrying a big bag of steamed buns.
These were all the buns and steamed buns she steamed in the space after waking up in the morning.
Although it was the first time to make these buns and steamed buns in the space, the limited-sale three baskets of buns actually received four-star reviews.
Xiushui was very satisfied that he could get four stars right away.
As soon as the steaming buns were brought into the yard, the kids cheered again.
"Sister Xiushui, which buns did you buy? They look so white and plump. Every time I smell them, I feel like the meat is drilling into my stomach."
The little angel Xiuai helped to carry the baby while chattering away with comments.
"He was selling them from a cart. I bought all his buns just by smelling the aroma. If Ai Ai eats one more later, we can have two big meat buns!"
"Okay. Soo-ae can have two and a half."
As she spoke, the little girl slurped her saliva and her eyes were glued to the buns.
But even so, she didn't ask to taste it first.
Thinking of this, he looked at Changxuan. The naughty kid was secretly reaching out to press the bun, then putting it in his mouth and sucking it.
After being looked at by his cousin, he pretended to be calm and raised his chin to maintain his dignity. "I'm just trying it out for everyone. Ahem, I'll go call my father and mother."
In fact, they didn't need to call them, because everyone smelled the aroma of meat and started to crawl up one after another.
There was nothing they could do, they had never smelled anything so fragrant and so appetizing.
The barbecue we had last night had long since disappeared in the night's snoring. My stomach was empty now and I was in urgent need of something delicious to fill it up.
Wen Sunan was the first to come out. He didn't expect that he could sleep so soundly. When he saw several children helping to carry the plates, he hurried forward and took the big bowl.
"Xiu'er, why don't you call daddy? Daddy can help you carry it."
"Dad, I woke up at the appointed time and had nothing to do, so I thought of going to change some coins. Hehe, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet a man selling buns.
Dad, you don't know, these buns are so popular. I thought something was wrong. These buns are so fragrant and sell so well, they must be the best in the city, so I bought them all.
Besides, it's not tiring to carry such a small amount of buns. By the way, Dad, these should be eaten while they are hot. After that, we can share the money."
When he heard about the money sharing, Chang Kang, who had just woken up and was still dazed, responded loudly. "Okay, sister, I'll be right there."
Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Li burst out laughing. "This kid is already sixteen years old. If it weren't for the famine, he would have been engaged. What a pity for that girl I had my eyes on..."
When mentioning this, Uncle Wen's face was also filled with melancholy.
Earlier, they had set their eyes on a girl from Li's family. She was pretty, but she had three younger brothers and only a widowed mother to take care of them.
So the girl proposed that the marriage must be arranged after the eldest brother turns fifteen.
For this reason, they waited patiently, and finally the eldest son of that family turned fifteen and fled the famine this year!
"Dad, I wonder if the girl and her family have escaped. If they have, I'm afraid they're not having a good time."
Uncle Wen nodded, "Yes, it's very difficult for normal families. Their widowed mother has damaged her eyesight from years of embroidery.
Although the oldest of my three younger brothers is fifteen years old, the youngest is only six years old. They are all so hungry that even eating is annoying."
"Oh, why are you thinking of mentioning that girl's family so early in the morning? Our family is destined to have no connection with them. Forget it, forget it."
Uncle Wen snorted. "You were the one who brought it up first."
"Yes, it's my fault. You can eat one more bun and I can eat one less, okay?"
"That's not right. This bun looks soft and fluffy. You have to eat your fill. You still have to leave soon."
Li smiled gently, but she choked up as she smiled. "Poor Xiu Li, this child, she was born in my belly and grew up to be sixteen years old, but she has never eaten a bun like this.
She has been married to that butcher knife family for three years, and I don’t know if she is living a good life or not? He is so cruel, her grandfather is not good, and her parents are not good either?”
