Chapter 25

As the sun rises on the streets in the early morning, there are more and more people.

Sibao sat on the small stool, holding a spoon in his hand, and drank the hot beancurd in small sips, while Jiang Shuxin sat on the side, took a few sips of the bowl and finished drinking the food in front of him, staring boredly. Look at the Four Treasures.

Sibao thought that Jiang Shuxin was in a hurry to leave, glanced at her, and hurriedly held the bowl and drank, and then choked herself.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Jiang Shuxin couldn't help reaching out and patted her back: "What are you doing in such a hurry to eat?"

Sibao raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Shuxin, his face was a little red and he was choking.

The tip of the nose and the eye sockets are also red, like a frightened bunny, and one that likes to eat.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Shuxin tapped her forehead and said.

Four Treasures then bowed their heads obediently, holding the bowl and continuing to eat.

The grandma who sold bean curd stood aside and saw this scene, and was stunned for a moment, but couldn't see that this girl seemed to be different from others.

But she didn't ask any more questions, standing aside busy with her own business.

After the Four Treasures had finished eating, Jiang Shuxin poured some water for her to drink, got up and packed two servings of beancurd, and took her back to Li Chu's house.

At this time, there were especially many people who came to buy fish. Li Chu was doing business at the front door, and Li Nian, the little girl who only got up in the back room, had no one to care about.

Jiang Shuxin threw a serving of beancurd to Li Chu who was busy, and asked Sibao to carry another bowl to Li Nian in the back room.

Four Treasures

"you eat."

"Wow, the beautiful sister is here!" Li Nian thought that he was too dazzled to eat, and moved towards Sibao in surprise.

Sibao was taken aback by her enthusiasm, watching Li Nian give way back, his little head nodded, then pointed to the bean curd and repeated, "You eat."

Only then did Li Nian glance at the beancurd, without taking a spoon, he took a sip from the bowl, still looking at the Four Treasures.

"Sister, did you come to play with me on purpose?"

Sibao didn't know how to answer, but after thinking about it, she honestly said, "Jiang Er, bring me here and eat something delicious."

Having said that, from what Li Nian heard, Jiang Er specially brought the Four Treasures to play with her.

The little girl ate faster than the Four Treasures, and Li Nian drank a bowl of bean curd after a while.

After drinking, she got up and dragged Sibao to her house, a short little girl, standing in front of Sibao, was worthy of her chest, and the hair on her head was not combed for her. , loosely scattered.

Sibao looked at Li Nian's little head, and was led to her house by her ignorantly.

The house was littered with toys of various sizes, all of which Sibao had never seen before, and after Sibao looked around, he was attracted by a Trojan horse in the center of the house.

The half-human-height wooden horse is sewn with a thick layer of cotton wool. The lifelike pony has a pinch of fine gray hair on its head, and it looks very cute.

"Sister, I have a lot of fun, let's play together today." Li Nian enthusiastically picked up a naive cloth tiger, walked to Sibao, and wanted to invite Sibao to play with her.

Sibao was naturally very happy, she nodded, and then imitated Li Nian and sat on the ground.

The two of them were playing in the house, while Jiang Shuxin and Li Chu outside the house were busy.

"Little Li, give me one for the uncle!"

The elderly man was on crutches, his hair was gray, and the beard around his mouth was also white, but he was full of anger. He stood at the door and shouted at Li Chu.

Li Chu quickly picked up the straw rope, grabbed a fat fish from the fish pond and put it on for him, and then carefully hung it on the crutches for him.

"Uncle Zou, the fish you want is ready."

That Uncle Zou took the consistent copper coins from his waist, Li Chu took them, counted fifteen coins from the inside, and returned all the remaining coins to him.

"I'll charge you fifteen cents, and take the money and fish."

Uncle Zou was satisfied with the fish and left.

Jiang Shuxin helped her, and in a short while, almost all the fish were sold.

"That lame Zhang is estimated to have been in that prison for a year and a half."

Taking advantage of the break, Li Chu chatted with Jiang Shuxin while eating.

Hearing this, Jiang Shuxin was dissatisfied, and knocked on the table with a copper coin, "This time is too short, it's a pity that I specifically asked someone to inquire about him last time."

"Oh, that was all ten or twenty years ago. It would be good to be able to arrest him." Li Chu nodded understandingly.

Then he continued: "I really don't see it, Zhang Laizi killed people when he was young."

Jiang Shuxin took a sip of the tea on the table and said indifferently, "Otherwise, why do you think his leg is lame?"

"I can't think of it." Li Chu drank the contents of the bowl in one breath, and muttered: "If you don't pay your debts, you will kill the debt collectors and you will turn them out."

"Ah."

Jiang Shuxin snorted coldly and smiled casually: "Do you think I want to take care of this? He asked for it by himself."

Li Chu gave her a convincing bow, looking very exaggerated, and she praised: "It really is Jiang Er! He Zhang lame is planted, there are people in the prison who eat people and don't spit out bones, this is in. , I guess it is very difficult.”

Jiang Shuxin was too lazy to be poor with her, glanced outside the house, stood up and walked towards the back room.

Li Chu was cleaning up the stall in front alone.

After entering the backyard, Jiang Shuxin heard a burst of laughter from the little girl coming from the house, which was very happy.

Jiang Shuxin slowed down and walked unhurriedly to the front of the house. The inward-opening wooden door was attached to the wall, and Jiang Shuxin saw the Four Treasures sitting on the ground and Li Nian chattering in front of her at a glance.

Sibao sat on the ground obediently with his neck raised, watching Li Nian happily sharing his toys, quietly, with a sweet smile on his face, listening carefully.

Jiang Shuxin didn't rashly go in to disturb them, but stood outside watching, maybe he held his head up for a long time, and the Four Treasures shook his head a little uncomfortable, but Li Nian was still talking, holding a shuttlecock full of chicken feathers and dancing. to demonstrate to the Four Treasures.

Jiang Shuxin couldn't stand anymore, walked in lightly, crouched behind Sibao, and reached out to support her somewhat sore neck.

Sibao was stunned for a moment, looked back, saw that it was Jiang Shuxin, and rested his head on Jiang Shuxin's hand with confidence.

"what!"

Li Nian, who was having a good time, turned around and saw Jiang Shuxin, screamed in fright, and the chicken feather key in his hand fell to the ground.

"..." Jiang Shuxin's face was full of black lines. She glanced at Li Nian unhappily, but did not speak.

Four Treasures looked at Li Nian in confusion and asked, "No, have you played?"

"Uh, I'm playing." Li Nian blushed and said to Jiang Shuxin embarrassedly because of his fuss: "I'm sorry, Second Sister Jiang, you suddenly came in and didn't speak. It was really scary."

This time Jiang Shuxin's face was a little better, he nodded to her, and motioned her to continue playing, leaving her alone.

Jiang Shuxin stayed in the room with the two little girls for a while, and when Sibao and Li Nian were tired of playing, she gently pulled Sibao to get up.

"Do you want to go back?"

The Four Treasures were still a little unfinished, and the toys scattered on the ground strayed, and finally landed on the little wooden horse.

Jiang Shuxin followed her gaze, saw the ugly Trojan horse, and asked casually, "Do you like that one?"

"No, no." Four Treasures shook his head gently, she was married to a eldest girl, and it was a toy for the little sister, so don't rob her.

Jiang Shuxin didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her shaking her head, she didn't ask any more questions. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and took her out of the house.

Li Nian, who was on the side, quickly followed behind the two of them.

Li Chu was calculating the account outside the house, and when Jiang Shuxin came out, he took out half of the copper coins distributed on the table and handed it to her: "Well, the money earned today is half per person."

Jiang Shuxin took it bluntly and tucked it into his sleeve, "Then I'll go back with the Four Treasures today."

"Let's go now, don't you have lunch with me?" Li Chu raised his head and glanced at Jiang Shuxin.

Jiang Shuxin shook his head and took his fish basket. Sibao waved at Li Nian who had been following him, then walked behind Jiang Shuxin and followed her.

Li Nian clings to the door frame reluctantly, watching Jiang Shuxin and the Four Treasures go away.

After leaving Li Chu's house, Jiang Shuxin did not immediately go back with the Four Treasures, but led her to stroll on the street unhurriedly.

There are many small vendors on the street, some sell food, sell decoration, buy toys, all kinds, a wide variety.

Sibao's eyes were blurred, and he tightly grabbed Jiang Shuxin's shirt, looked left, and then looked again.

There was a faint scent coming from the street, and the Four Treasures couldn't walk anymore, and stood there looking at Jiang Shuxin.

Jiang Shuxin took her to the fragrant stall, which sold pastries. There were countless pastries such as hibiscus cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Jiang Shuxin didn't know which one of the Four Treasures would like to eat, so he simply asked the vendor to come over and fill a paper bag with only a dozen pennies.

Sibao hugged the big bag of cakes, smiled contentedly, and said thank you to Jiang Shuxin in a low voice, Jiang Shuxin's heart softened after hearing it.

He also bought some toys for Sibao from other stalls, and Jiang Shuxin took Sibao to the fishing boat.

The contented Four Treasures sat on the fishing boat, still very nervous, but fortunately they arrived home not long after.

Along the way, Si Bao was holding the big bag of cakes, and her saliva was almost left, and she couldn't eat it. When she got home, she couldn't wait to take it apart and eat it.

However, he still handed the paper bag to Jiang Shuxin, and asked her obediently, "Jiang Er, can I eat it?"

Jiang Shuxin didn't expect her to ask such a question, so she hurriedly took the paper bag and took out a few pieces for her to put on a porcelain plate: "Of course you can eat it, I bought it for you."

Hearing that, Sibao jumped up and down happily, and sat at the table with the porcelain plate in her arms. After sitting down, she thought of something, walked to the shelf with the handkerchief hanging on it, and carefully wiped her hands with the clean handkerchief. , and then pick up the pastry by hand.

Sibao picked up the cake and smelled it, walked to Jiang Shuxin, and handed it to her: "Jiang Er eat."

"Give me something to eat?" Jiang Shuxin looked at her with a smile on her face, and asked her in a low voice.

Four Treasures nodded lightly and put the cakes into Jiang Shuxin's mouth: "I'll give it to you, Four Treasures, I like you."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuxin unconsciously reached out and pinched the four treasures' cheeks, and asked her noncommittally, "Do you like me because you like me, or do you like me because I bought you something delicious?"

"Hehe." Four Treasures gently pushed Jiang Shuxin's mischievous hand away and laughed softly. She ran to the table and sat down, eating the cakes herself.

Seeing her so happy, Jiang Shuxin didn't force her to answer him.

This day passed in a flash, and in the evening Jiang Shuxin went out to the sea to cast a net as usual, but she did not bring the Four Treasures with her, and only left her on the shore to wait for herself.

Jiang Shuxin took bamboo strips to surround a small tent-like shed on the beach, and lit a small bonfire. Four Treasures hugged the puppet rabbit that Jiang Shuxin bought for her, and sat obediently by the bonfire waiting for Jiang Shuxin. .

By the time Jiang Shuxin arrived late with the boat, the Four Treasures were already drowsy.

Jiang Shuxin jumped down and tied the boat, Sibao immediately became refreshed when she saw her, and called her happily: "Jiang Er!"
