Tiandao calendar 2020, more than 12 years.

As the annual Yongqing Festival approaches, the atmosphere in Mingxi Town is gradually becoming stronger. The figures of the adults are still busy every day, but when acquaintances meet, festive blessings come out casually.

Compared with the calmness of adults, children are more and more jubilant.

The hawkers, who rarely appear on weekdays, also began to wander the streets and alleys, hoping to make a small amount of money during the festival.

"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, sweet toothless sugar gourd, not sweet, no money,,,"

A skinny vendor in the downtown area, carrying a straw handle thicker than his body on his shoulder. The strings of crystal red sugar gourds on the grass deeply attracted the attention of a large group of children.

In the face of the children's undisguised gaze. With a shrewd smile on the peddler's face, he re-attached his already bent waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the quality of our sugar gourd is guaranteed. The rock sugar is crispy, and the red fruits are selected, sweet and sour. Take a bite, that taste, tsk,,,。 ”

Under the temptation of the hawker's expression, a group of children were already swallowing their saliva. It's just empty pockets, firmly suppressing the wild impulses in their hearts.

"Maltose, osmanthus cake, dried fruit shops, guaranteed sweeter and more fragrant candy preserves than sugar gourds. The festival event, you can try it when you come over, taste it before you buy it. ”

The candy shop of Qin Fu Chi across the street also found a business opportunity here, and started to grab business without showing weakness.

Hearing this, all the children immediately turned their heads and ran towards the opposite side.

Seeing that his business was being disrupted, the thin vendor rubbed the fur hat on his head, raised his eyes to show a fierce light, and strode to the front of Qin Fuji's shop.

"Chu Xiaoning!"

The skinny peddler straightened his waist, his eyes widened, and he slammed the grass in his hand on the ground and roared angrily. For a moment, he was like a general standing in battle, and his momentum was like a rainbow.

A group of children blocked in front of the store and were about to reach out and beg for candy, but when they saw this scene, they immediately moved out of the way, leaking out of the store and making room for both parties.

Faced with a hawker whose eyes were boiling with anger, he almost wanted to choose people. Chu Yanning's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at the other party lightly.

"Why Hou San, are you not convinced? Xiao Ning is your name?"

Looking at the look in Chu Yanning's eyes that didn't put himself at all, and then thinking of several painful experiences in the past, Hou San not only had his eyelids jump a few times, but the shadow still remained in his heart, like a poisonous snake, which made him hate and fear.

Mingxi Town is not big, and there are only a few hundred households when it is full. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding area was all smaller villages, it would hardly be a town. And there is only one candy shop in the whole town, Qin Fuji, and Hou San also sells snacks and snacks on weekdays. As a result, there have been several frictions between the two sides. However, every fight between the two sides ended with Chu Yanning's complete victory.

A breeze swept across the ground, kicking up the dust, then whirling to calm down. The situation froze on the field, and a group of children turned their heads to look at the two people facing each other, unanimously remaining silent, showing patience that did not match their age. They knew that this was a sign before the storm, and that there was a great show to watch right away.

Enter, no courage!

Retreat, unwilling!

On such a cold day, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Hou San's forehead for a moment. In the end, in desperation, I gritted my teeth, put my heart sideways, and fought hard!

"The dragon flies to the sky, the snake lies on the ground, the tiger leaps over the mountain stream, the turtle dives, everything goes its own way, and there is also a way to do business,,, Hou San decided to convince people with reason, because experience told him that if he is unreasonable, he is completely invincible to his opponent.

"Bah, peeking at the widow's bathing and preaching to me!"

On weekdays, Chu Yanning doesn't mind arguing with the other party. However, today she obviously didn't want to entangle with the other party more.

"You, you, you! What does this have to do with what I'm going to say today? Hou San's words were not finished, and the scar was uncovered by the other party's words. Suddenly dumbfounded, the old face turned red, and the words were not good. The momentum of hard work is like a river bursting its banks, and it is completely empty.

Last summer, he peeked at Widow Liu taking a shower and was caught red-handed. Afterwards, he spent a lot of savings, paid Widow Liu a sum of money for mental damages, and sealed money to get things done. I didn't expect to be mentioned again in front of me today, just like a snake being held seven inches, and suddenly lost its ability to resist.

Although the children did not understand the profundity of peeking at the widow's bathing behavior, why Hou San was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and it deflated in an instant. However, they understood that Hou San had lost again, so of course they were coaxing at this time.

"Hou San, Hou San, peek at the widow taking a bath. ”

"Go, go, go! The little ones know whatever they know, and they go. Hou San waved his arms to drive the children away, and quickly left the place in embarrassment. Before leaving, I didn't forget to drop a sentence. "Hmph, I don't have the same knowledge as your little girl, when your little brother Qin comes back, I'll find him to comment. ”

"How dare you ,,,"

Hearing this, Chu Yanning picked up the broom next to the door of the store and wanted to chase after him, but the frightened Hou San covered the small fur hat on his head and fled at a faster pace.

Looking at Hou San's embarrassed back, Chu Yanning couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

"Sister Xiao Ning, is Brother Qin coming back?" asked an older child, looking at Chu Yanning with hopeful eyes.

When the other children heard this, they also turned their eyes to Chu Yanning.

For the children of Mingxi Town, if there is anything more attractive to them than eating snacks, it is to listen to Brother Qin's story.

Brother Qin seems to have a strange story in his mind that can never be finished. The flying monkey, the monster who draws human skin. There is also a gray wolf that can never catch a sheep to eat, a group of cute little sheep and sheep. Those strange things that even the well-informed old mayor had never heard of.

It's a pity that since Brother Qin entered Dao City to cultivate, they have rarely had the opportunity to listen to stories.

Now that they learned that Brother Qin was coming back, a group of children were extremely excited.

"Well, counting the days, I should be back today. ”

Chu Yanning replied absentmindedly, regardless of a group of excited children who seemed to have exploded their nests. Turning his head to look at the end of the street, according to past experience, Childe should be home at this hour.

Chu Yanning, who was restless, turned around and grabbed a handful of candy from the store and distributed it to the children, telling everyone to go home early when they had had enough, and not to let the adults in the family worry about it.

The children were all very happy to get the candy, nodded obediently and dispersed.

After the children left, Chu Yanning simply cleaned up the store, locked the door and walked towards the entrance of the town.

Chu Yanning is thirteen years old this year, and his facial features are clear and beautiful. Although the figure has not yet fully grown, it has begun to show a graceful posture. A few years ago, her parents passed away one after another due to illness, and it was the son who saw her pitiful and helped her handle her parents' funeral, and took her with him.

Gongzi Qin Jue is three years older than her, treats her very well, never uses her as a maid, and doesn't let her call herself Gongzi at first, but Chu Yanning himself insists on this, Gongzi has persuaded her repeatedly to no avail, and finally has to give up.

Speaking of which, Childe is a very strange person, and Chu Yanning feels that he is different from everyone else. And many times, Childe will always have some very peculiar whims and strange words. But after following Childe for a long time, she slowly got used to it.
