"Second Uncle Niu hasn't come back yet?" Sheng Qingqing was a little surprised.

The three of them have been delayed in the butcher shop for a long time, and it stands to reason that Second Uncle Niu should have come back a long time ago.

Niu Yu also felt strange, looked up at the sun, and said, "My father said to come back as soon as possible." ”

That means you might be back when......

"Then let's wait." Sheng Qingqing can't help it, he can't go against the will of his elders and walk around as he wants, although this town is not big, but if he is separated, it will be very difficult to reunite for a while.

But what Sheng Qingqing didn't expect was that this would be a long time.

Another half an hour passed, and I saw that the sun was already overhead, and it was almost noon, but I still didn't see Uncle Niu.

It was winter, and although the sun was strong overhead, the heat was not enough, and the ox cart was parked on a small street, and the wind blew straight from the west to the east, blowing through the street.

He also blew the four men on the ox cart hungry and cold.

Sheng Qingqing and Niu Yu are okay, although they are not as good as adults, but teenagers are half adults, and they can endure it in such a cold wind. Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming suffered, they were already thin, and when they were blown by the cold wind, their whole bodies were shaky, as if they were about to be blown up from the ox cart.

The cold wind was very sluggish, even if Sheng Qingqing and Niu Yu blocked the wind for the two of them, it would not have much effect.

Niu Yu touched his stomach, "Are you hungry?" ”

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming immediately nodded again and again.

Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.

How can you not be hungry. They went out in the morning and drank a bowl of porridge, most of which was water, which had long since been digested, and their chests were pressed against their backs when they were already hungry.

"I thought I would be able to get back before lunch, so I didn't bring dry food." Niu Yu made a bitter face, sighed, and said, "What the hell did my father do, he can't come back." If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to see his son! ”

Sheng Qingqing hugged the two trembling siblings tightly and did not speak. She wanted to bring dry food, but unfortunately there was nothing to bring with her in the tattered and empty house.

Just when a few people were hungry and cold.

"Why don't you come in!"

Sheng Qingqing looked back, but it was the owner of the butcher shop.

The butcher shop owner met her gaze, smiled innocently, and said with a smile: "It's warmer in my shop, at least you don't have to be cold." ”

Niu Yu couldn't wait to go in, he was familiar with this boss, and he didn't have any thoughts. But Sheng Qingqing stopped him, as an adult, she was a little hesitant to know more than a child.

"It's not good, it's delaying your business."

"Hey, it's around noon, there's no business, so I can't delay." The boss was very hearty and said with a smile: "These two children are going to be frozen, come in quickly." ”

Sheng Qingqing was still hesitating, but when she mentioned Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, she couldn't help it.

"Then bother the shopkeeper."

A group of four people bustled into the shop.

There is not much space in the butcher's shop, and there are no extra chairs. Fortunately, the four of them were all half-grown children, and with the benches on the ox carts, they were barely able to stand down in the store.

But there's a plus to being crowded.

Sheng Qingqing hugged the two younger siblings tightly, feeling their gradually warming hands, she was more or less relieved.

"You guys are here first, my shop is shabby, and there is no tea to serve you."

Even Niu Yu was a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where is it, the shopkeeper can let us shelter from the wind, which is already very benevolent." ”

It's an old cow pulling the ox cart, and even if no one is watching, nothing will go wrong. But there are still things in the car, and it is not easy to look at them. Niu Yu parked it in the alley on the left hand side of the butcher's shop, where they sat in a good way to see the ox cart and not let it block the shop's business.

Several people waited in the butcher's shop for more than half an hour.

As the boss said, there were not many guests at noon, and even if there were those who came to buy meat, at most they would look at them curiously. Maybe I think it's a little strange that a few children are crammed together in the butcher's shop.

During this period, Niu Yu kept sighing, saying that his father threw him away.

Sheng Qingqing could only comfort him with tears and laughter.

Fortunately, Second Uncle Niu didn't really leave a few of them behind.

When the third guest was sent away, the four of them finally ran over from the figure of the second uncle Niu from the distance.

"Dad, you're finally back! If it's a little too late, your only son will starve to death!" ”

Second Uncle Niu glared at Niu Yu fiercely, patted him on the head, and scolded: "What are you talking about, you can't die." ”

Niu Yu pursed his lips, could only change the tone of his words, and said, "Dad, why did you go!" ”

"Why did Lao Tzu go, you stinky boy still want to take care of it?!" Second Uncle Niu glared at him, turned to Sheng Qingqing and the three of them, but his face was kind, and he smiled: "Miss Qing, are you sisters and brothers hungry?" Uncle will take you to eat delicious food! ”

So he hurried out to drive the oxen cart.

Sheng Qingqing looked at Second Uncle Niu's excited appearance and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The four of them thanked the butcher shop owner and went out, Niu Yu came to Sheng Qingqing's side and whispered: "Sister Aqing, I think my father must have done something good behind my back, you see how happy he is." ”

Sheng Qingqing nodded, and she could see it. Although Second Uncle Niu looked angry with Niu Yu, it could be seen that he was very happy and happy, and the laugh lines on his face could not be hidden. I'm afraid that I left alone just now, and I really met something good.

Just when the two were guessing, Second Uncle Niu had already driven the ox cart out.

When he saw the basket on the ox cart, he asked curiously, "Miss Qing bought so much meat." ”

Sheng Qingqing was about to answer, but Niu Yu had already spoken, and said, "Yes, Zhizhi picked an old ginseng and sold it for a lot of money, so Sister Aqing went to buy a lot of meat, and she will go to the grain store later." ”

"Old ginseng, it's very good, it's good, I'll go to the grain store after eating." Second Uncle Niu didn't doubt it at all, and said with a smile.

Sheng Qingqing couldn't help frowning.

Niu Yu pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Look, my father has really done something good, you see that he is so happy, I am afraid that he didn't hear what I just said." ”

is indeed overjoyed, if it is normal, Second Uncle Niu will more or less doubt her statement for a moment. Now it looks like she doesn't take what she says to heart at all. I don't know what I'm thinking about.

But without waiting for Sheng Qingqing to think about it, Second Uncle Niu had already let them sit in the ox cart.

The cold wind was blowing, and the wind could be faintly heard, but fortunately, several people were huddled together in the car, and it was not too cold, plus there was Uncle Niu in front of him to block the wind, and the cold dropped to a bearable range.
