The little ancestor of the family

"Go!"

Ye Xinran tapped his nose.

"Then get up and wash up quickly!"

"it is good!"

Chang'an jumped up.

In another room, Chang Ping looked at his uncle's tightly wrapped left hand, with horror in his eyes: "Uncle, why is your hand broken?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Huaian turned around and looked at him coldly. Changsheng covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. When did Second Uncle's hand break?"

"But, look at Second Uncle's hands, they are wrapped so tightly!"

Changping pointed at Xiao Huaian's hand.

Changsheng was also a little surprised to see the gauze on his hand: "Second Uncle, your hand is injured? Is it serious?"

It’s no wonder that the two children were worried. It was mainly because in their eyes, their second uncle was a tough guy with a strong will. When he injured his arm before, he just applied some medicine and never bandaged it so tightly.

"fine!"

Facing their worried looks, Xiao Huaian had no choice but to pull open a slit in the injured gauze to show them: "I told you, it's a small wound."

"Second uncle, you..."

Changsheng looked at Xiao Huaian in confusion.

Is it necessary to bandage such a small wound so tightly?

He thought about it in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

Because he quickly figured out who had wrapped the hand.

But Changping was not as quick as his brother in reacting. He kept asking, "Second Uncle, you must have lied to us. You are seriously injured, aren't you?"

"Changping!"

Changsheng covered his mouth again and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, it's okay. This must have been given to you by your aunt!"

"That's it!"

Chang Ping wiped away the tears that were about to flow out: "Auntie's hands are really skillful, and the wrapping is quite beautiful."

To the two children's surprise, Xiao Huaian actually replied: "Indeed!"

The two children looked at each other, communicating the strange feeling with their eyes.

After breakfast, Xiao Huaian went to Niu Er's house.

Today was not the day when Niu Er drove the cart to the market, so he discussed with Niu Er and made a special trip for them.

"If it were someone else, I might not agree, but your Xiao family has solved such a big problem for our village, I must get this done."

Niu Er agreed with a smile.

This was the first time the brothers went to the market together.

In the past, Xiao Huaian often took Chang'an to buy medicine, and occasionally took Changsheng to buy books, but he never took Changping with him.

So along the way, Changping was curious about everything he saw and kept asking questions. As long as Changsheng knew the answers, he would answer them one by one.

After arriving in the city, they made an appointment with Niu Er to wait at a place, and then Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran took the three children to the market.

Although he had been to Chang'an many times, he was always in a hurry each time, mainly to see a doctor. This time, he had plenty of time and his aunt was with him, so he could finally take a good stroll.

After entering the market, he walked towards the clay figurine stall he had long coveted.

When the old man who was making clay figurines saw that there was a business coming to his door, he immediately greeted him: "Young master, what do you want?"

"I don't want it, I just want to take a look!"

Changan took two steps back.

He bumped into Ye Xinran's leg. Ye Xinran lowered her head and smiled at him, saying gently, "Pick something you like and I'll buy it for you!"

"Then I want that monkey! Is that okay?" Chang'an said, pointing to a clay figurine of a monkey.

"How much is one?" Ye Xinran asked.

"Not expensive, not expensive. Only 7 cents." The old man replied with a smile.

"I want to buy three, please give me a discount." Ye Xinran bargained.

"Then 20 cents!" The old man held up two fingers.

"It's still expensive. Just charge us 18 cents." Ye Xinran said.

It’s not easy to make money nowadays, so every penny saved counts.

The old man looked at the three children in front of him, fearing that the business he had just obtained would fly away again, and nodded and agreed: "Okay, 18 cents is 18 cents."

"Aunt, I don't want it!"

Changsheng's face became tense again, "This is something only children play with. I don't like it."

Ye Xinran had noticed long ago that Changsheng had been staring at a clay figurine of a little tiger for a long time.

He said no, but his eyes never left.

I guess I like it very much.

So she deliberately whispered to Changsheng: "It's cheaper to buy three. Buying two costs 14 cents, one costs 7 cents, three costs 18 cents, and one costs 6 cents. If we don't buy three, we will lose money."

Changsheng thought about it, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I want this."

He pointed at the little tiger.

"Where's Changping?"

Ye Xinran asked another question.

"I want the dragon one!" Changping said, pointing at the dragon-shaped clay figurine.

"Okay, then we'll take these three."

The three children each held a clay figure and compared whose was the better one.

Soon, I was attracted by other toys on the roadside.

There are many toys for children inside, such as bamboo dragonflies, wooden swords, wooden knives, nine-link rings, spinning tops, kites, balls...

Ye Xinran wanted to buy everything she saw, but Xiao Huaian stopped her: "Children like to play, so just buy two for them to play with."

After discussion, the three children finally decided to buy the nine-ring puzzle and the ball.

They can play with these two toys together, which is much more useful than buying a bamboo helicopter or a wooden sword.

While the children were picking toys, Ye Xinran's eyes were always fixed on the kitchen utensils.

Before she got to the end, she bought a few more plates and bowls for the house.

Improving your living place is too expensive, but improving your eating conditions is much simpler.

In addition, Ye Xinran used to like collecting some beautiful tableware, so she couldn't stop when she saw these things.

Xiao Huaian didn't buy anything. He just followed Ye Xinran, silently taking the things she bought and putting them in the backpack behind him.

"Does this look good?"

"Good!"

"what about this?"

"also!"

"So how should I choose?"

“Buy them all!”

They go through this conversation every time they pick a plate.

The three children followed behind obediently and bought it just after Xiao Huaian said several times.

Changping whispered to Changsheng, "That's not what my second uncle said when I bought the Nine-Ring Chain just now."

"Yeah!" Changsheng nodded expressionlessly.

Changan also heard it, and said to Changping with a smug look on his face: "I told you a long time ago that Second Uncle likes Auntie, and Auntie also likes Second Uncle, but you still don't believe it!"

"Then why are you still occupying your second uncle's place?" Changsheng glanced at his younger brother.

"I just like my aunt!" Chang'an lowered his head and didn't respond.

When passing by a clothing store, Ye Xinran suddenly pushed Xiao Huaian: "You should also go buy a new piece of clothing."

Xiao Huaian shook his head: "It doesn't matter what I wear."

"The clothes you wear now really don't suit you very well."

Ye Xinran once again looked at the torn clothes on Xiao Huaian: "The color is too earthy and too old."

"I'm in the mountains all year round, so new clothes will get scratched!" Xiao Huaian reminded her.

“That’s true.” Ye Xinran thought about it.

"Then buy something sturdier."

Xiao Huaian was about to refuse when a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the store.

"I say, isn't it just buying a piece of clothing? Why is it so difficult to afford it? Sister, you can't even afford a few dozen coins worth of new clothing now, right?"
