Second Update......

~~~~

Looking at Mu Wanqiu's pitiful face, Li Laohan swallowed the harsh words that poured into his mouth.

"Uncle......" Mu Wanqiu called out again.

“…… Running out of money again? Looking at her patched padded jacket, Li Laohan sighed.

“…… My mother is sick, and it costs a lot of money to drink medicine. Nodding pitifully, Mu Wanqiu quietly spread panic.

It's not that she wants to cheat, it's that she can't let people know that her wages have bought spices and ceramic jars.

"Hey, poor baby ......" Under Mu Wanqiu's sad offensive, Li Laohan sighed, "I'll give you a try, it's hard to say if you can sell it......

"Uncle help me try it, it doesn't matter if it can't be sold......" Mu Wanqiu grinned sweetly.

"Ah Qiu, go back quickly, it's too late and I will be scolded by the owner......" Looking at her smile so easily satisfied, for some reason, Li Laohan actually had a sour feeling in his heart, his dry eyes suddenly moistened, and he raised his whip violently, "...... Drive! ”

“…… Thank you, uncle! Mu Wanqiu dodged out of the way and shouted brightly.

After taking two steps, remembering something, she turned around and chased after her, "Uncle......"

“…… What else? Slowing down, Li Laohan turned around.

“…… Someone asked, uncle, don't say that I made this spice! After hesitating for a moment, Mu Wanqiu whispered.

Even if the incense she blended could only be sold for a penny, if Master Liu knew about it, she would no longer be allowed to make a living under the eaves of Lin Ji!

Treat such a pile of rotten leaves as spices, no one will admit that she did it, and this girl is afraid of being laughed at, but she also knows that she is ashamed; Hearing this, Li Laohan nodded clearly and said loudly, "Ah Qiu, don't worry, if someone asks, I'll say that the lock is naughty and indiscriminately concocted!" ”

“…… What did I concoct? The lock asked, sticking out his little black head.

"Go back, freeze carefully......" Li Laohan pushed him back into the car.

Seeing the lock sticking out her head mischievously and grimacing at her, Mu Wanqiu covered her mouth and smiled.

……

After setting up the snow shed, Li Laohan spread the thick felt on the snow, the sky was already bright, the market was crowded with people one after another, and they set up snow sheds of different shades of color of high or short sizes, piles of spices were placed on both sides of the road, and occasionally a few piles of firewood were raised to keep warm, and some people had begun to shout loudly.

"Daddy......" The chain scurried around the incense stall, looking for Mu Wanqiu's little baggage, "...... What about the spices concocted by Sister Aqiu? ”

"In the car......" didn't raise his head, Li Laohan concentrated on placing the spices, "Take them out and put them in the front......" He sighed, "That girl is pitiful, if you can help, you can help ......"

"Oh......" the lock answered happily, stepped on the thick felt behind the canopy, and jumped to the carriage, "Daddy...... There is no ......"

“…… How? Li Laohan turned his head, "It's a whitewashed blue cloth baggage, you can look for it again." ”

“…… Not really! The lock lifted the curtain for his father to see.

stepped over, looked inside and out a few times, and Li Laohan looked back and forth under the snow shed, how could there be a shadow of baggage?

"Daddy......" The lock also rummaged, and asked in his mouth, "Could it be that the carriage is running fast and the road is reversed......"

Suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, Li Laohan looked at the road he came, "It's hard to say......" He frowned, the road to the market was already crowded with people.

"I'll go back and look for ......" the lock slipped into the crowd.

"Come back...... Come back...... The locks are coming back! "Even if it really dropped, so many people would have already stepped on it, where can they find it? After shouting twice, seeing that the lock was gone, he shouted again, "...... If you can't find it, come back quickly, and be careful not to get lost! ”

Hearing the sound of the lock, Li Laohan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and picked up the dry tobacco bag next to the car.

"There are so many people, I'm afraid someone has already picked them up......" The lock ran back at some point, standing behind Li Laohan and panting.

“…… Who picks up a pile of rotten leaves? Glancing at the lock, Li Laohan continued to smoke dry cigarettes, "It must have been kicked into something...... "Hit the cigarette bag pot on the stone on the side of the road, "It's not a valuable thing, lose it, don't look for it......"

"But......" Suozi's lips deflated, "Sister Aqiu said that it can be sold for ten cents!" Thinking of Mu Wanqiu's affectionate smiling face, the lock mouth tightened, "...... She's going to buy medicine for her mother...... Besides......" he turned to Li Laohan, "how much is that furoshiki worth......?" Sister Aqiu is just such a burden...... "Remembering that Mu Wanqiu often carried that burden to pick up the rags, the lock added a sentence.

A pile of rotten leaves, even that furoshiki is only two pennies!

Glancing at the lock, Li Laohan was speechless, lowered his head and continued to pretend to be dry tobacco.

"Daddy......" The lock snatched his father's dry tobacco pouch.

"I shouldn't have taken this ......matter a long time ago," Li Laohan complained, reached out and groped in his pocket, and after a while, he took out a black money bag and counted it carefully, counting out fifteen wen and putting it in the left pocket, "I always lose other people's things, just compensate her...... Fifteen Wen ......" he muttered, "Even the burden with leaves, she can be regarded as earning ......"

“…… Dad wants to pay her fifteen yuan? Locks asked, wide-eyed.

Mu Wanqiu's clear and stubborn gaze flashed in front of him, Li Laohan shook his head, "If she pays her like this, she won't want it, the lock ......" He looked up and shouted, grabbing the cigarette pouch from the lock hand, "Don't tell you Sister Aqiu that we lost the goods, just say that we sold the baggage for fifteen wen......" for a long time, and added, "Just say that it was bought by a poor scholar from a foreign country......"

In the eyes of Shuoyang people, scholars are the poorest.

"Daddy......" Chain's eyes widened, "...... Do you want to cheat on your mother again? ”

Less than fifteen cents, Li Laohan was thinking about how to explain to his daughter-in-law when he went back, hearing this, his old face like withered bark suddenly stiffened, glared at the lock fiercely, and lowered his head to light a sweat cigarette pouch on the fire.

"Dad, don't worry, my mother said, if you break other people's things, you will lose money, this money is not your nonsense, I will never tell my mother......" was glared at, the lock immediately grinned, picked up a branch with sparks from the fire, and flatteringly lit a cigarette pot for Li Laohan, "I told my mother, the owner only rewarded you with fifteen yuan today......" He heard in a daze in the morning that the owner rewarded his father with thirty yuan, his father just counted for a long time, he must have counted the thirty yuan!

The old man's face was slightly red, Li Laohan was speechless, lowered his head and smoked a dry cigarette.

Looking up at the passing merchants, the lock grinned.
