Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 25: Baozi (Part )

Daya hesitated and said, "Two vegetable buns."

Although Song Yuan wanted to eat meat buns or sugar buns, he agreed with Daya's choice when he saw that these two types of buns were much smaller than the vegetable buns.

Daya solemnly took out her own copper coin from her pocket and handed it over. She then solemnly took the bun from the boss and gave one to Song Yuan.

She held the buns, feeling excited and proud. This was the first time she had eaten buns bought from a store.

On weekdays when she went to the county, Li seldom bought food. When she was extremely hungry, she would just buy a steamed bun to share. Only during the Dragon Boat Festival every year would the family make dumplings, which were made of vegetables, with little oil, and had a hard dough.

Only now did she realize that the skin of buns could be soft.

She slowly brought the bun to her mouth and took a bite. The fragrant oil spread in her mouth, the soft and fluffy dough seemed to melt in her mouth, and the fragrance of beans lingered.

Really delicious!

Daya squinted her eyes happily, carefully feeling the taste of every bite of the bun. Although she tasted it very slowly, she still finished the bun very quickly.

She sucked the grease off her fingers, wiped her mouth, squatted down and carefully wiped Song Yuan's fingers to make sure there was no residual oil stain left before rushing to Zhuangyuanfang.

Li and his friends had been waiting under the archway for a long time. When they saw them, Li frowned and asked, "Why did you take so long?"

Daya felt a little guilty, "There are so many people, it's hard to squeeze in with a backpack on my back, and I'm worried that my little brother and I will be separated."

Song Yuan cleverly stretched out his hand and said, "It was too crowded. My sister held my hand tightly so that I was not squeezed away. Grandma, look, my hand has been squeezed red."

When Daya mentioned that she was afraid of being squeezed away by the crowd, Li's expression had eased a little. Seeing Song Yuan holding his hand and looking a little aggrieved at the end of his speech, she couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, from now on when you go to the county, no matter how many people there are, you must hold your sister's hand tightly."

Seeing her like this, Daya breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had passed this hurdle.

She looked at Xiaoxiang who was expectant, and was about to wink at her to secretly tell her the result, when she suddenly heard Song Tian say, "Did you eat the buns?"

Daya froze, almost frightened to death.

She turned her head with her neck stiff, only to see Song Tian looking at Song Yuan suspiciously, and then moved closer to his mouth and sniffed: "It really smells like steamed buns, where did you get the steamed buns to eat?"

Can you smell this? Does Song Tian have a dog's nose?

Daya was secretly annoyed. She forgot to let the smell dissipate. She should have come back later.

What to do now?

This sudden change stunned Song Yuan. He had no idea how to respond.

Looking at his expression, Song Tian guessed again: "Did you steal the money?"

Although Song Yuan was young, under Daya's instruction, he knew that stealing was a very bad behavior, and he immediately retorted: "You are the one who stole the money."

"Then where did you get the buns?" Song Tian asked again.

Song Yuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain, and looked at Daya for help.

Daya's mind raced wildly. Could it be that the Qian family's steward gave it to her? No, if Song Tian asked Uncle Song, it would be exposed...

Facing the gazes of Song Tian and Li, she gritted her teeth and said, "I picked up a penny on the road."

"What good luck." Song Tian no longer doubted it. With a look of envy on his face, he couldn't help but look at the ground around him. Unfortunately, there was nothing but rotten leaves and dirt, and no money for him to pick up.

He looked away with regret, and then thought again, "Isn't one penny enough for two vegetable buns? What about the other one?"

He looked at Daya: "Did you eat?"

Daya didn't say anything and agreed.

"Two buns, you guys are eating them all by yourselves?" Song Tian was jealous and blurted out attacking words, "You don't think about me or grandma? That's too unfilial. It's a pity that grandma treats you so well every day."

Daya opened her mouth, but didn't know how to refute. Should she say that grandma treated him and Song Yuan better? Should she say that she had never eaten the buns sold in the shop, but just wanted to try them?

None of these reasons could refute Song Tian. Instead, he would use them to accuse her of being petty.

Moreover, she really didn't think of Li at all just now.

Song Yuan's voice was very loud, especially the word "unfilial", which attracted a lot of people's attention. All eyes fell on her, and Daya felt extremely embarrassed.

At this time, Song Yuan shouted: "I am greedy, I ate both!"

Song Tian turned and glared at Song Yuan, saying bitterly: "Why didn't you leave one for me!"

As soon as he said that, he realized something was wrong and added, "No matter how greedy you are, just eat one. The remaining one should be left for grandma. It's a pity that grandma loves you so much."

Song Yuan snorted: "I left it for grandma, but she couldn't bear to eat it. It must have gone into your mouth in the end. I'm not stupid!"

"You!" Song Tian was furious, "You are unfilial!"

Being favored, Song Yuan didn't care about his attack. "You stole the duck eggs but didn't give grandma half. You are not filial."

Seeing that the two grandsons were about to quarrel, Li rubbed her forehead with a headache: "Okay, isn't it embarrassing to quarrel in the street for a bite of food?"

Song Tian leaned over and hugged Li's arm and shook it, "Grandma, I want to eat buns too. My brother has eaten them, so I want some too..."

"You idiot, get out of here now." Li cursed, shook off his hand, and strode towards the city gate.

Song Tian ran over and grabbed her hand, begging again: "I don't want to eat flatbreads, I want to eat buns, grandma, I want to eat buns too."

Li shook him off, but he was not discouraged. He held Li's hand again and shook it, "Grandma, my brother has eaten all the buns..."

Song Tian begged as he walked, and when he was about to leave the market area, he simply sat down on the ground and refused to move.

This behavior was too shameful. Li was so angry that her head was buzzing. She called Daya and the others and said, "Forget it if he doesn't leave. Let's go and see if he stays here to beg for food or something else. We don't care whether he lives or dies."

As he said this, he strode forward.

Faced with the threat in her words, Song Tian remained unmoved and continued to sit on the ground, crying loudly.

Daya looked at Li and then at Song Tian, not knowing what to do.

Li walked a long way and saw Song Tian still sitting on the ground. She turned back angrily and circled around Song Tian, scolding him: "You are an immortal, you are eight years old, and you are throwing a tantrum because of your stuttering. Isn't it shameful?

You are a starving ghost, and there is no food in the house for you? You are always thinking about those two bites of food..."

Song Tian closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and howled.

Li had no choice but to take out the handkerchief that contained the money, open it, take out two copper coins, and throw them at Song Tian fiercely: "Use them to buy it! If you can't eat them, you will die, you immortal!"

Song Tian immediately stopped howling, ignoring Li's dark face, jumped up and hugged her arms, sticking close to her affectionately: "I know grandma is the best!"

After saying that, he ran to the bun shop and soon bought four steaming hot buns. He held them in front of Li like a treasure and said, "Grandma, eat first."
