In the late autumn morning, the sky is faint.

Xiao Sutang, who was dressed in coarse cloth and short brown clothes, took his sister's hand and walked on the streets of Jinling City.

The early morning is the busiest of the small vendors, who hurriedly occupy their stalls and put their goods out to sell.

Su Tang found an empty stall and happily put down the bamboo basket, "After selling the fish, buy candy for the wine!" ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the pestle and hugged his sister to his lap.

The four-year-old girl, tied two small balls, the shabby little jacket was full of patches, because of the misfit, the cuffs were rolled three or four times, and the small hands that were clenched into fists were exposed.

She was born with a lovely jade snow, a pair of round eyes are watery, and when she sees people smiling at her, she also shows her sweet dimples, which is very attractive.

Su Tang's fish was caught at dawn, it was very fresh, and the brother and sister were pleasing to it, so they sold most of the baskets in a short time.

Su Jiu sniffed his little nose and looked at the bun stall in the distance.

The freshly steamed big meat buns, the moment the steaming drawer is opened, the fragrance is fragrant.

She swallowed her saliva and raised her little finger over: "Brother, I want to eat the bag......"

Su Tang touched her head, lowered his head and counted the copper plates he got from selling fish, and smiled gently: "Let's go, let's buy buns!" ”

He came to the steamed bun stall with Su Jiu, and the boss shouted: "The big meat bun has five copper coins, and the bean paste bun has three copper coins!" ”

Su Tang asked, "What kind of stuffed buns does Xiaojiu eat?" ”

Su Jiu bit his little mouth, reluctantly glanced at the big meat bun, and whispered: "The ...... of the bean paste filling"

When she got the big bun, she hesitated for a moment, carefully broke half of it, and handed it to Su Tang's mouth, "Brother eats ......"

Su Tang bit it and smiled innocently: "It's delicious!" ”

He also wanted to sell fish, so he asked Su Jiu to sit next to him and play by himself, and told her not to run far.

The little girl held half a bean paste bun and sat obediently on the steps in front of someone else's house.

She snorted hot buns and took a small bite lovingly.

Red bean paste is so sweet!

She dangled her little feet and watched Su Tang sell fish.

A thin, tall, and tattered child held the chicken cub and wanted to exchange fish with his brother, but the brother disliked that his chicken cub was too small and refused to change it, so the child cried and shouted and begged him, saying that he wanted to save money to study in the academy, and said that he would repay him when he became a prime minister in the imperial examination in the future.

The elder brother still refused to change, and under the pushing, the child's chicken cubs flew away, making the whole street very lively.

Su Jiu looked at it, and couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, and his eyes were sweet.

"Hey."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the side.

Su Jiu looked at it, a young man in his early tens, wearing a bellflower blue cotton robe, was squatting next to him and staring at him.

The young man has a beautiful appearance, but his eyebrows and eyes are very ruthless.

She was a little scared, hugged the bean paste bag, and whispered, "Bad guy......"

The young man seemed to be smiling, and took out a branch of osmanthus from his arms, "Are the flowers fragrant?" ”

Su Jiu nodded, "Fragrant ......"

"Exchange the flowers for your buns, okay?"

Su Jiu's eyes widened, nervously stuffed the bun into his sleeve pocket, and shook his head desperately: "Don't change, don't change!" ”

The young man sneered, glanced at Su Tang in the distance, and suddenly covered Su Jiu's mouth regardless of it, and directly robbed it!

He snatched half of the bean paste bun and swallowed it in three or two bites.

The little girl burst into tears, and her face was puffy.

She was so angry, she stood up tremblingly, and raised her immature little fist to hit him, "Bad guy, Baozi!" Bad guys, buns! ”

The young man turned sideways to avoid it, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The taste is not bad, enjoy your flowers!" ”

He threw the wilting osmanthus to the little girl, and swaggered away from the long street.

The little girl cried very sadly and was very hungry.

As he was holding his knees and shedding tears, a bag of things was suddenly thrown in front of him.

She lifted her little tearful face, and five or six little children were looking at her proudly.

The little boy headed by him, like a spring dawn, with brocade clothes and boots, looked very rich and splendid.

He picked Danfeng's eyes, and his tone was a little sassy: "We are the chivalrous guests of Jinling City, and we love to fight injustices and help the poor!" These buns are rewarded to you! ”

The little girl picked up the bag of buns in a daze.

She looked at these young men curiously, some of them were greased and powdered, some were playing with each other, and some were carrying medicine boxes, all of whom should be the sons of large families.

Before she could thank her, they ran away in a rage.

She picked up the bag of hot buns, thought about it, and picked up the osmanthus again.

She lowered her head and sniffed the osmanthus flowers.

……

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Tingchen suddenly spoke, pulling back Su Jiu's thoughts.

It was at the end of the year, not long after the two returned to Jinling City, and today they came out to buy New Year's goods.

Su Jiu's eyes flashed the dusty memories of many years, revealing a gentle smile.

She gently leaned on Xiao Tingchen's shoulder, like a coquette, "I suddenly want to eat bean paste buns." ”

"What should I be, it's just a bean paste bun, just buy it for you." Xiao Tingchen disagreed.

Su Jiu took the hot bean paste buns, gently broke them, and gave him half of them, "You eat it too." ”

It's cold in winter, and the long street is colorful.

Xiao Tingchen ordered a few jars of osmanthus wine and personally drove a carriage to pull goods back to Xiao's mansion.

Su Jiu sat in the back of the carriage, dangling his feet, taking small bites of bean paste buns while enjoying the scenery along the street.

At the end of the year, there are a few happy and a few sad.

She couldn't help but smile as she watched the young children run through the streets cheering.

The long street is bustling, and the snow is drifting.

She reached out to catch the snowflake and whispered, "Brother." ”

Xiao Tingchen looked back at her lazily.

Su Jiu tilted his head and smiled: "Bean paste buns, so sweet!" ”
