The casual life of the flat space

"Forget it, Brother Mu. What he did today can be considered a good thing. It doesn't matter whether he knows that person or not. We can just catch him if we run into him again."

"But..." Mu Qingqiu wanted to say something, but he didn't want to argue with Bai Tieying, so he swallowed his words and said, "Let's go find the peddler. If it's too late, I'm afraid all the good stuff will be sold out."

"It's just at the intersection of two streets ahead. I can see the flag on the shelf." Bai Tiexiong suddenly said.

"Okay, then hold me! Let's go now!"

"The upright officials are happy to be in power, they smile with their ears hanging down, and they walk through the red-light districts and willow alleys. They raise their voices in a mixed way, and stop their voices in a humble way, and they ask for new threads after embroidering in the inner chambers..."

Although Mu Qingqiu had heard the peddler's songs before, he had never listened to them carefully. Now the three of them were going to him, so naturally he listened to every word carefully. He couldn't help but secretly thought, "They're not as good as the songs sung by Tieying."

The crowds that had gathered around him dispersed, and the peddler quickly shook his rattle, making a "hey de long dong, hey de long dong" rhythm, while singing a little song to attract new customers. Seeing the three people coming against the current and heading straight for him, he sang even louder:

"What a good fate. I envy him for being so lucky to be close to Xiao Chanjuan..."

The peddler sang as he thought: There are two children and one older child among the three of them. If he lets them pass through his load empty-handed today, he will...

The peddler didn't need to swear, as these three people came to him just to "buy, buy, buy". Although they would ask what almost everything was, where it came from, and how much it was worth, they would still buy what they wanted!

Bamboo snakes, wooden swords, masks, lanterns, maha-la, phu-pu-deng…all kinds of toys;

Hammers, drums, black plums, jade pillars, sesame seeds, rhymed ginger...all kinds of candies;

Palm-leaf fans, dusters, tea sets, conch shells, hairbands, steel needles...all kinds of utensils.

Let’s put it this way, after the three of them finished their shopping, the peddler had to go and restock the goods!

"My dear, I have some of the best rouge in the capital. Would you like a box?"

"Ah? Oh, no thanks. Hey, brother, why did you carry so many things?"

Bai Tieying was interrupted by the peddler's call and continued to search for things in the cargo. Looking up, Mu Qingqiu was holding Bai Tiexiong in one hand, and the other hand was full of things from his shoulder to his hand.

"Brother, give me the things!"

"It's okay, just watch. I'm short of money now, so I can only accompany you for a while."

After hearing this, Bai Tieying covered her mouth and laughed - he said everything he and Bai Tiexiong saw was good, and he gave them a lot of emotional value, making him a good shopping partner.

The peddler standing by also wanted to give a big thumbs up to this young man. If all the people who came to buy things with others could be like him, he would have no problem finding a store soon!

The three of them carried their "trophies" on their backs for a long time before they found an empty alley, allowing Bai Tieying to deliver the items into the space. When they came back from buying food in the West Market, it was already the end of the Wei hour.

"Uncle, we're back! Let's have a big dinner tonight!"

"Why are you only back at this hour? The rice shop next door is closed! Silk shop owner Wang asked me where my niece is, and I was embarrassed to tell him that you haven't come back from shopping yet!"

"Uncle, if you're worried about us, just tell us straight away. We're a family, why shouldn't we be embarrassed? Let Big Brother have a couple of drinks with you later. Uncle Dafu, I bought a lot of delicious food for you. Let's eat crabs tonight!"

Bai Tieying had been with Uncle for a long time and knew that the old man was kind-hearted, but stubborn. Maybe he had never been around children before, so he couldn't let go of his elder status.

He always said that Uncle Dafu was stupid, even if he was stupid, he should take most of the responsibility. He couldn't say things properly, so Uncle Dafu could make people fall backwards with just three words.

Hehe, unfortunately, she also weighs 40 kilograms, but is 39 kilograms of rebelliousness, and enjoys stepping on the old man's nerves every day. I must correct my uncle's bad habit of saying one thing and thinking another.

"What big brother? Where did you get the big brother?" Uncle said, and suddenly saw Mu Qingqiu coming in with Bai Tiexiong, and he quickly stopped talking. He said "You're back?" Bai Tiexiong hugged his thigh, and then he smiled and pulled Bai Tiexiong to wash his hands.

He really felt a little reluctant to accept Mu Qingqiu's offer, or more accurately, he wanted to stay away from the capital. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he would have a relationship with the royal family again, and even live under the same roof - really living under the same roof. He actually felt a little awkward when he saw Mu Qingqiu.

"What kind of prescription can be mixed with well water to make honey pills for him to take away?" Uncle thought to himself...

"Uncle, you poked my nose!" Bai Tiexiong was rubbed on the face by his uncle with a wet towel. His uncle was not careful and his nose felt sore and his eyes turned red.

"Ouch, it's uncle's fault. I'll throw the towel over you again."

"Uncle, I'll do it myself. My sister said that after we move to our new home, we can't ask anyone else for help with our own affairs."

"Well, then you can do it yourself. Dafu, go and close the shop."

…………

At the beginning of the evening, a low couch in the yard was filled with sumptuous dishes. Bai Tieying asked her uncle to raise his glass, but her uncle said that she was the host and should raise her glass. Bai Tieying was no longer modest and stood up to raise her glass and said:

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our family is also reunited with the full moon. We would also like to welcome Wanli and Qianjiao to join our big family. Of course, there are also the family of the gyrfalcon, the family of the lynx, Youqi and his soon-to-be-born baby. I hope everyone..."

"Cough... cough..." Mu Qingqiu suddenly felt his throat a little itchy.

"Oh, by the way, there's also Brother Mu. You've been a permanent resident of our home, so you should be counted as one. Come, let's raise our glasses together and say, 'May we live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart'!"

"May we live long and enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart!" People and animals also cheered.

"Eat and drink! Nothing should be left over from today's meal!" Bai Tieying said again, and everyone responded, picking up chopsticks and wine glasses to clink glasses.

Uncle and Uncle Dafu drank the medicinal wine he made. Mu Qingqiu felt red in the face after drinking just one glass, and was sent by his uncle to the children to drink the wine.

Bai Wanli and his sister thanked Bai Tieying, but she refused to disturb him while he was eating crabs. Bai Wanli sat down with his sister feeling a little disappointed, knowing that Bai Tieying still didn't believe in him and his sister, and thought to himself, "Time will tell!"

Bai Tiexiong was the busiest. He had to eat for himself and peel crabs for the eight little ones. Their parents were also enjoying a mouthful of well water and a mouthful of meat tonight, so they had no time to take care of them.
