Chapter 27 Sending candied haws

I heard from my grandfather that this family was disliked in the village, and the family was not rich, even the poorest household in Xiaoshu Village.

Looking at the girl mixed with candied haws, he raised his hand to call for the old man who sold candied haws.

"Officer, official, I did nothing wrong." The old man walked over cautiously, and was about to kneel and kowtow in fear.

Meng Jun is only nineteen years old, but his aura is very strong.

Seeing that people were afraid of him, he waved his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, old man. I'm buying candied haws."

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man, then pointed to the opposite side and said, "Old man, have you seen the big man holding the baby **** the opposite side? Send him ten bunches of candied haws."

"Hey, okay, I'm going now."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, collected the copper coins, picked up the wood and straw, and walked towards the opposite side, not daring to slack off this errand.

Wang Zhuangzhi was hugging his daughter, and Xiao Li was looking at those little wooden swords and bamboo dragonflies from the basket in front of the hawker next to him.

"Hi sir."

The old man who sells candied haws came over, hurriedly set the grass aside, found ten bunches of red and big candied haws wrapped in oiled paper, and hurriedly handed them to Wang Zhuangzhi, saying, "An official invites you to eat candied haws."

Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned, "Master?" Seeing so many candied haws in his hand, he wanted to ask his name, but the old man who sold the candied haws had already left quickly.

"Hey,"

Jiaojiao heard the word "guanye", looked around with her wet black eyes, and suddenly her eyes fell on the man in the maroon policeman's costume at the door of the tea shop.

It was because of her excellent memory that she recognized the big brother that day.

"Strange, I have never met an official." Wang Zhuangzhi looked at the candied haws in his hand. After all, it was sent by someone he didn't know, so he didn't dare to touch it, in case someone sent it by mistake.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Li turned around and saw his father holding candied haws in his hand, thinking that he bought them for them to eat, ran over excitedly and shook his father's thigh, shouting: "Candied haws! Daddy, I want to eat..."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn’t dare to touch the candied haws with unclear origins, in case someone finds them back later, so he coaxed his son and said, “Xiao Li, I’ll buy it for you later, this is someone else’s and we won’t eat it.”

At this time, Jiaojiaoxiao pointed to the opposite side, and said to Dad in a waxy voice, "It was given by the elder brother of Li Zheng's family."

Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback when he heard that, and looked up in the direction his daughter was pointing at. Seeing the familiar clothes and figure, he hugged his daughter and pulled his son and hurried over with a smile.

"Hurry up Meng, what a coincidence today."

Meng Jun turned his head, looked at the family of three who came to the door, clasped his fists and shouted calmly: "Wang Orion."

"Thank you, big brother, for the candied haws~" a soft and delicate voice sounded.

When Meng Jun saw this little girl, his eyes couldn't help but soften, and he said, "You little girl is quite sensible, it's okay, it's just a worthless gadget."

That is to say, this girl has closed her eyes, she is not as indifferent as he is, and she is not a nosy person.

Jiaojiao felt more and more that the big brother was nice when she heard the words, and asked in a waxy voice, "What's the name of the big brother?"

"Jiaojiao can't ask like that." Wang Zhuangzhi looked at Meng Jun apologetically, put Jiaojiao on the ground slowly, and then seriously clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Meng, there are too many candied haws, they can't eat like this There are many, why don't you keep some to eat."

Meng Jun raised his hand and shook his head indifferently, "No, I don't like sweets, and it's a waste to keep them. You keep them and eat them."

Wang Zhuangzhi's face was a little embarrassed, and he clasped his fists gratefully and said again: "Then I will thank Detective Meng for the children in the family, but you have eaten? Why don't I take you to the tavern in front to eat some. "

Before at Lizheng’s house, Meng Junyou helped Wang’s family to speak, Wang Zhuangzhi felt grateful and wanted to invite someone to have a meal to repay.

"No need, I'm just resting here, and I'm going back to the Yamen." Meng Jun took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table, got up and prepared to leave.

Just half a step away, he seemed to think of something, looked back at the white waxy girl, and said casually, "My name is Meng Jun."

Jiaojiao repeated the name, then rolled her eyes and smiled, and shouted: "Thank you, Big Brother Meng Jun, for the candied haws. Next time, I will treat you to meat wontons."

Today I ate meat wontons and big meat buns. Human food is so delicious, my big brother should also like it.

Meng Jun curled his lips, feeling that the little girl was so interesting, he nodded in response, "Okay."

Meng Jun left, Xiao Li couldn't wait to take out a bunch of candied haws and ate them, having fun while eating.

Wang Zhuangzhi was still a little confused, picked up Jiaojiao and asked, "Baby, when did you become so familiar with Li Zheng's grandson?"

Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, and said in a waxy voice, "Big Brother is a good guy, Jiaojiao likes it."

"Hey baby, don't dare to say that. Others will laugh at Jiaojiao when they hear it. A girl should avoid suspicion with a man at the age of six. In the future, she dare not say which man she likes in front of outsiders." Wang Zhuangzhi said patiently holding his sweetheart.

Jiaojiao couldn't understand, she tilted her head and blinked her **** eyes and asked her father, "Both father and brother are men, so can't you say that you like father and brother?"

"Father and elder brother are Jiaojiao's relatives, so naturally they can say they like her, but other men can't."

Jiaojiao pouted before she could figure it out, Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly took out a candied haws and handed it to Guaibao's mouth, coaxing: "Guaibao, eat candied haws quickly."

Jiaojiao's gaze returned to the candied haws. For this red fruit that she had been craving for a long time, she opened her small mouth with a smile and carefully took a bite.

The moment she entered, her eyes lit up.

Sweet than maltose wrapped on the fruit, sour and sweet, it is a taste that has never been tasted, very delicious.

There are seeds in the fruit, Jiaojiao spat out the seeds, leaned forward and took a big bite, then muttered softly, "Daddy eats too..."

Wang Zhuangzhi felt warm when he heard the words, so he smiled and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste was really delicious.

At the door of the clothes shop, Liu Zhihua came out with Erya, who was holding a piece of light blue cloth in her hand.

Cheaper ready-made clothes cost 950 renminbi, plus she didn't have enough money to buy needles and threads, so Liu Zhihua bought fine cotton cloth and prepared to go home and make it herself. A total of six hundred Wen was spent.

Erya was very satisfied and very happy. If she hadn't dared to think about it in the past, after all, she used to wear clothes made of sackcloth, which were thick and abrasive to the skin.

"Dad!"

Erya watched her younger siblings eating candied haws, saw with sharp eyes that the oil paper bag in father's hand was full, hurriedly returned the cloth in his hand to mother, ran over with a smile and begged for a maize to eat.

"You girl, you just returned the treasure of this cloth, and a bunch of candied haws took you away."

Liu Zhihua walked up to the head of the house with the cloth in her arms, glanced at the bag of candied haws, shook her head and sighed, "I just can't have money, look at your generosity, you can just buy a bunch of them per person, what are you doing buying these?"

Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly shook his head and explained, "Meng Jialang from Lizheng's family bought it for him."
