Chapter 276： beggar

“Chu Man had a miscarriage?”

How long has that woman been married and she is pregnant?

Although Ying Bao found it unbelievable, she still followed Chu Chu to her home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Feng standing in the door with a sullen face, Chu Man lying on a bamboo bed, and Fourth Aunt Wu was checking.

"It's true that she had a miscarriage." Fourth Aunt Wu said to Chen Fengshi: "There's nothing wrong with her. Just let her go back and lie down for two days to recuperate."

 Chen Fengshi glared at Chu Man with a look of boredom and said, "Don't you know you're pregnant? Your fourth aunt said there's nothing wrong, why don't you get up and go home quickly!"

Chu Man didn't have any feelings about whether the tire was sliding or not, but she still remembered that it was Chen Zhao who hit her, and she couldn't help but cry loudly: "It was that little **** who hit me! Ooooooo! If you don't tell her, she will come instead." Blame me! You all come to bully me... wu wu wu... I want to go home..."

 Chen Feng rolled her eyes: "Go back if you want, no one will stop you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the house to find Chen Zhao.

Chu Chu hugged her little girl, glanced at Chu Man, and whispered to Ying Bao: "Cousin Chu Man came to my house just now and said that she had a severe stomachache and that she was bleeding, so I called Granny Chen, and she I called Granny Wu, and then...I called you again..."

Ying Bao said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've already eaten anyway."

She stretched her head over to look at the little girl, teased her twice, and asked, "Have you given her a name?"

Chu Chu smiled: "Not yet, my husband said that we won't give her a name until she is one year old. Now she will be called Niu Niu."

Three days after Jiang Cheng's wedding, the bride returned home, and the entire Jiang family went to the county town again to meet the enemy's family, which meant to get to know each other's main relatives, such as uncles and uncles on both sides.

This matter can be done by men, while women stay at home to prepare New Year's food.

Ying Bao and Jiang Quan also followed. They were not going to get married, but to prepare for closing business.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, as the saying goes, pigs are slaughtered to cut new year’s meat. The county market is bustling with people, and various stalls occupy both sides of the road.

Jiang Quan and his little cousin walked by these stalls and bought some interesting gadgets when they saw them.

These things are not expensive, ranging from a few to more than a dozen yuan. They are most suitable for use as Guanpu turntables.

Ying Bao was worried about the flowers, melons and fruits in the cave and wanted to take them out, so he intentionally missed Jiang Quan.

She carries a small bamboo basket on her back, and the bamboo basket also has a cover. As long as she walks around alone, she can put things in the basket and take it back.

At this time, Jiang Quan saw another stall selling small porcelain dolls. He knelt down and picked some, preparing to buy more to take back.

This thing only costs thirty-five cents apiece, and it won't change color or rot, so it doesn't matter how long it lasts, so he decided to buy more.

Ying Bao spotted the gap, quietly stepped back a few steps, and slipped behind a shop selling lanterns. Behind this was a high wall, and no pedestrians passed by.

Take off the backpack from your body, then put your hands into the basket, and like magic, take out some apples and melons from the cave and put them into the basket.

Looking at the basket being almost full, he took out a lot of flowers and put them on top.

Like wood dandelions, they are also called gardenias, peonies, chrysanthemums, etc.

After putting the things away, Yingbao found that she couldn't carry the basket anymore.

Just when she was at a loss, a child emerged from under the lantern stand and stood in front of her.

“Yingbao, what are you doing?” The person coming was Jintong, Jiang Cheng’s brother-in-law and Qiu Rong’s seven-year-old brother.

Ying Bao: "You didn't do anything, why are you alone?" She looked around and saw no one else.

The golden boy wiped his nose and said, "I am just one person." He glanced at the backpack, blinked, and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful. Is this for my eldest sister?"

Jiang Cheng sent a lot of betrothal gifts some time ago, including jewelry and hair flowers. The golden boy thought that these beautiful flowers were also for his eldest sister.

Yingbao: "These are for business." Don't give them away.

He was also afraid that the little kid would go back and learn nonsense, so he picked out a few wood dandelions and two peonies and gave them to him: "Take them back to your eldest sister." But the golden boy didn't want them: "I'm not going home now, you can give them to her yourself. ”

There were a lot of guests at home, and his parents and eldest sister were entertaining the guests. He took the opportunity to sneak out and play for a while, and he didn't want to go back at this time.

Yingbao put the peony back, stuffed him with a big apple and two peony flowers, and asked him to put them in his pocket. Then he dragged the basket on his back and went out, standing on the roadside and calling his second cousin.

Jiang Quan was only three feet away when he heard his little cousin calling him and hurried over: "Where have you been?"

Yingbao pointed to the basket on her back, "I bought a lot of new things, and I can't carry them anymore."

When Jiang Quan saw the flowers, apples and other things in the basket, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Where did you buy it? This apple is bigger than ours."

This was the first time he saw such a big and red apple. He was so amazed that he picked one up and smelled it. The fragrance of the apple was astounding to his nostrils.

“How much does one cost?” Such big apples should be sold by the piece. If they are not expensive, you can buy more and resell them.

Yingbao thought for a moment and said, "Fifty cents each." An apple weighs a pound, so it shouldn't be expensive at fifty cents each.

“Not expensive, not expensive.” But you won’t make much money if you resell it.

Jiang Quan picked up the backpack and it felt heavy.

“Let’s send these things back first, and then we’ll go shopping later.”

He also bought a lot of things and was about to take them back.

Yingbao nodded, turned to look at the golden boy, and found that he was gone.

This guy is so elusive that he scared her just now.

The brother and sister put their things home and prepared to go to the market again.

Xiao Hei barked at them and followed them, wagging his tail.

When Ying Bao saw that it was as tall as a wolfdog, she rolled her eyes and went back to find a robe to put on it.

If you can’t carry it yourself, you can let Xiao Hei carry it. This is called making the best use of everything.

Jiang Quan was afraid that his big dog would hurt others, so he tied a leash to it, and then led Xiao Hei outside.

Halfway through the walk, I suddenly saw children fighting not far away. When I looked closer, I saw that it was the golden boy, fighting with two children about his own age.

Ying Bao shouted and rushed over, pushed a child away, and pulled the golden boy over.

I saw a few scratches on the golden boy's face, with a lot of snot and tears, pointing at the two children and crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...They are taking my apples!"

When Ying Bao heard this, he took a few steps to catch up with the two children and punched them.

His fist is raised high but cannot be punched down.

A dirty child of several years old, holding half of an apple that the golden boy had chewed, was huddled under the wall and eating hard. From time to time, he would bring it to another child's mouth to let him take a bite.

Is this a beggar?

Yingbao was curious as to why the two children did not run away after grabbing the apples, but squatted under the wall to eat them, so she looked around.

She found another person lying under the wall. His eyes were closed, his body was covered with a tattered linen cloth, and he was motionless.

No wonder the two children didn't run away. This person is probably one of their relatives.

Yingbao said to the two children: "Hey! Where are you from?"

The resident beggars in the county rarely sleep under the walls in such weather. Most of them will find a dilapidated temple or a bridge to stay, otherwise they will freeze to death.
