I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

But since Wu Yong had already left, Xu Shu could only look at Mu Jinghua. Seeing that the child looked frightened, he softened his voice again: "Ignore him, little Mujin, do you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Mu Jinghua himself just realized that he actually prefers eating light-tasting things like osmanthus cake.

There was no choice before, and having something to eat was the best thing, so he never knew what his taste was like.

But after meeting Xu Shu, hey, everything has really improved. Now he has become picky even about food?

Mu Jinghua felt a little embarrassed. He instinctively didn't want to admit it, nor did he want Xu Shu to know that he didn't like sweets as much as Xu Shu.

There was a huge difference between him and Xu Shuben. Xu Shuben had a rare little habit that others had, which was to eat sweet food. But he was not a person who liked sweet food, which really made him depressed.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Shu naturally thought that he didn't like osmanthus cake, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Wu Yong, this guy, has only met Xiao Mujin a few times, but he knows what his Xiao Mujin likes to eat? Sure enough, he is just being smart.

But the mooncakes were already served, and the workmanship was quite exquisite. Even if it was just for good luck, Xu Shu still reluctantly tasted them. They were as bland as water and really unpalatable.

Mu Jinghua was very well behaved and finished eating a mooncake carefully.

Qu Xiu generously took over all the rest.

The mooncake was not very big, so Xu Shu could finish it in just three bites. However, Mu Jinghua had always had a small appetite. Even though he had already had lunch today, he still finished the mooncake.

This made Xu Shu doubt himself again. Could it be that Mu Jinghua really liked to eat osmanthus cake?

But by the evening, this doubt had dissipated.

There was a night market in Qingshui Town at night, so Xu Shu left Qu Xiu behind and took Mu Jinghua with him to go shopping.

Lanterns had been hung on the trees on the streets early in the morning, and now the candlelight was bright, making it very bright.

This night market is not as crowded as modern commercial streets, but it is also very lively, and you can see many things that you can't see now.

Iron flowers are the most beautiful and attract the most people. Before the invention of gunpowder, this was equivalent to ancient fireworks.

Xu Shu was tall and could see everything clearly, but poor Mu Jinghua couldn't see anything even though he was standing on tiptoe.

It was in public, and Xu Shu didn't want to get up with the child in his arms to watch, so he comforted him and told him to come back and continue watching after there were fewer people.

Mu Jinghua didn't make any noise or trouble and just responded obediently.

The two followed the flow of people and went along the roadside stalls, buying things as they went. Halfway through their walk, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh.

"Mu Jinghua..." Xu Shu glanced at the candied haws, candy figurines, cakes, and sweet drinks in his arms and said, "The sweetness you ate today was too much."

Mu Jinghua was still holding a rabbit-shaped candy in his hand and was looking at the popcorn shop next to him. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was sincerely repenting, but he still grabbed Xu Shu's hand and shook it.

Xu Shu felt helpless, but he softened his voice and said, "I can't eat any more. We can't waste it, right?"

When Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu say this, his face turned red.

It's not his fault. Although he has seen things at the night market, he has never tasted them. When he sees something new, he can't help but be envious.

But Xu Shu was really smart. He just looked at the candied haws for a few more seconds before Xu Shu pulled him forward and bought two strings.

Then there are sugar figures, cakes, sweet water...

But most of these things were sweet, and Mu Jinghua couldn't eat much. At the beginning, Xu Shu stuffed a lot of them into his mouth, and he was nervous, afraid that the food would be wasted.

But he didn't expect that when he couldn't eat, Xu Shu would take the initiative to help him solve the problem. It was obvious that it would take him a long time to finish the amount, but Xu Shu finished it in just two bites.

He just...

But if you think about it carefully, all Xu Shu ate along the way were his leftovers.

He really went too far.

But while he was thinking, Xu Shu spoke again, his tone helpless, yet once again indulged his desire: "Forget it, this is the last time. Shopkeeper, give me a bag of popcorn."

While waiting for popcorn, Xu Shu ran into Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was followed by a young man who had a handsome face, but because he was always close to Jiang Xiao, he had little presence.

Jiang Xiaoxian saw them and ran over to greet them: "Brother Xu, Brother Mu, what a coincidence, you are also visiting the night market."

Xu Shu smiled at him and said, "It's rare for me to stay in town, so I'll take little Mu Jin for a stroll."

Jiang Xiao took a look at the things in Xu Shu's arms and laughed dryly, "You bought a lot while shopping."

"Oh no," Xu Shu said helplessly, "People of this age all like to eat sweets."

Mu Jinghua found it funny when he heard this and wanted to say that it was Xu Shu who liked sweet food the most. But then he felt embarrassed when he remembered that Xu Shu had eaten all his leftovers tonight.

Jiang Xiao felt a little ashamed when he heard this, and asked Jiang Xiangwan beside him: "Ah Wan, do you want to eat that...?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man. When he heard the question, he laughed and said, "Young man, that won't work. How can a young man have the nerve to ask for it if you ask him directly?"

"You should learn from Mr. Xu next to you. Now you pay directly. That's really considerate."

Xu Shu felt a little embarrassed after being poked for no reason.

Jiang Xiao, however, looked like he was learning something, and explained to the shopkeeper earnestly, "I really should learn more from Brother Xu, so please give me two servings."

At this time, Jiang Xiangwan pulled Jiang Xiao's sleeve and said in a weak voice: "Brother Jiang, no, I don't want to eat."

"Hey, little brother." The shopkeeper laughed again, "It doesn't matter whether you want to eat it or not. What matters is whether your husband is willing to buy it for you. Since your husband buys it, it means he loves you and values ​​you."

Jiang Xiangwan's face turned red after hearing these words, and she shrank behind Jiang Xiao embarrassedly.

Jiang Xiao took it very seriously and said to Jiang Xiangwan with a smile: "Ah Wan, you don't have to care about this little money. Your happiness is the most important thing."

"I've said it before, thanks to Brother Xu, our family can now make money, and I'm sure you and mom will live a good life in the future."

Jiang Xiangwan grabbed Jiang Xiao's sleeve, too embarrassed to see his face: "Brother Jiang, you... don't say anything, I, I know everything."

The two of them were being so affectionate here, Xu Shu just couldn't bear to watch them, so he looked at the smiling shop owner and said, "You really know how to manipulate people's hearts."

"Oh my." The shopkeeper smiled with wrinkles on his face, "My dear customer, you are too kind to me. I am just a single old man who makes popcorn. How can I know how to manipulate people's hearts?"

"Really?" Xu Shu's eyes fell on his rough-looking hands, and he looked at the calluses on his hands. "The calluses on your hands should be caused by bow pulling."

Seeing that the shopkeeper had a frozen expression, Xu Shu half-jokingly asked, "Were you a hunter before?"

The shopkeeper laughed dryly and did not respond. Instead, he introduced himself: "My last name is Qiao, and my name is Qiao Er. It doesn't matter what I was like in the past. What matters is that now I am just a popcorn maker."

Qiao Er handed the popcorn wrapped in oil paper to Xu Shu and said with a fake smile, "Take it, sir."

Xu Shu took the popcorn and handed one to Mu Jinghua, then said goodbye to Jiang Xiao and continued walking along the crowd.

After walking a little further away, Xu Shu looked at Mu Jinghua and asked him, "Xiao Mujin, have you ever heard of the name Qiao Jianhong?"
