How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Wang Qiuyu was tired of eating barbecue, so he nibbled on some fruit and started thinking about rabbit. But the roasted rabbit was a bit dry and didn't look very tasty. He leaned over to Xia Chu and said, "Sister, is the beggar rabbit okay?"

Xia Chu glanced at the sun and calculated the time. "It's almost time. Let's dig it out."

"I'll do it." Seeing that everyone was not interested in barbecue, Zhang Zhou clapped his hands and dug out the rabbit.

The mud had been baked dry, even cracking slightly. He smashed the mud ball with his fist, shook it clean, and placed it on the table. A faint aroma, distinct from that of barbecued meat, emanated. As the leaves wrapped around the rabbit opened, the aroma burst forth, making one's mouth water.

"It smells so good." Bai Wuxia exclaimed as she looked at the juicy rabbit.

Mo Qingmei rubbed his sleeves and handed over his handkerchief with a red face, "Master Zhang, wipe your hands."

Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment. He had always been polite and distant to others, and few women showed any interest in him. For a moment, he hesitated, not knowing whether to accept it. If he didn't accept it, it would be embarrassing. But the handkerchief was a personal item. He had no other feelings for Mo Qingmei, so accepting it might cause misunderstanding. He hesitated for a moment, chuckled, and bowed his hand to decline. "My hands are covered in dirt, and I'm afraid I'll dirty the lady's handkerchief. I'd better go wash it."

Mo Qingmei's face flushed red, and she lowered her head and withdrew her hand. She had summoned up the courage to do something, but was rejected. She almost burst into tears. She didn't dare look up, fearing that others would look at her with disdain.

She was overthinking it; not everyone had noticed. Everyone else had gone to look at the rabbit, waiting for Guan Xu to divide the meat. The roasted rabbit was ready to eat, so everyone shared it, leaving nothing behind.

Xia Chu glanced at Mo Qingmei several times. She had never expected that she would actually fall for her second brother. She had never expected that she would show it. Mo Qingmei was usually very quiet. She glanced at her second brother again, but he shook his head and turned to wash his hands.

"Qingmei, your handkerchief is so beautiful, you can't use it to wipe the dust." Xia Chu took Mo Qingmei's arm and whispered to her brother, "My second brother is a man who doesn't understand romance. He is an old fool. Don't be angry with him."

Mo Qingmei shook her head, rubbing the pattern on her cuffs with her fingers. She couldn't help but let a tear fall. She didn't blame Zhang Zhou, she was just a little angry with herself.

Bai Wuxia was given two rabbit legs and happily shared them with Mo Qingmei, "Qingmei, Qingmei, eat quickly, it smells so good."

Mo Qingmei gently wiped away her tears, forced a smile and took it, "Thank you Wuxia."

Crying? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Bai Wuxia looked at Xia Chu, who shook her head.

All the things they brought were sold out. It was getting late, so Cuihua and the others helped pack up and we started our journey back.

Before leaving, Wang Qiuyu hugged the two ponies and said goodbye, mumbling to himself for a long time. Then he jumped into the car and said, "Second brother, wait for me."

"Slow down." Zhang Zhou turned back to wait for him. He caught a glimpse of Mo Qingmei looking at him from the corner of his eye, but he didn't turn back. He had no intention of getting married for the time being. He wanted to take the imperial examination this autumn to see if he could pass. His previous time in Huizhou had already delayed his studies, but he had also gained a lot. From now on, he should study hard and strive for admission to high school. For the time being, he had no time to think about anything else.

After arriving home, Xia Chu pondered for a long time, looking at Zhang Zhou, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Zhang Zhou then told her what was in his heart, but he didn't ask if Xia Chu wanted to pass it on or say anything else.

Xia Chu struggled with this for two days and decided to wait until Mo Qingmei asked. If Mo Qingmei hadn't said it explicitly, she might feel awkward and embarrassed if she said it directly.

But she didn't have time to think about Mo Qingmei for the time being. Instead, she felt that everyone in her family was acting strangely, as if they were secretly doing something and hiding it from her. She caught up with Wang Qiuyu, who was the best at asking questions, and asked, "What are Mom and my brothers busy with recently?"

"Ah?" Wang Qiuyu was confused. "What are you busy with?"

It's unnecessary to ask this confused guy. Why would he even think of asking this kid? He only eats, sleeps and plays all day long. How could he have the brain to think about other things? "It's okay, it's okay. Go play with Xiao An."

Wang Qiuyu's curiosity was piqued. "Are you really okay?"

"No, no." Xia Chu waved her hand to send him away.

But is it so easy for children’s curiosity to disappear?

Sister wants to know what everyone is busy with, let me help her check. He lowered his head and hugged Xiao An's neck, "Xiao An, let's help Sister find out what everyone is busy with! Let's go!"

He went to the kitchen first, and the dog hid at the door and looked in. Mom was cooking, yes, she cooked at this time every day.

Where's the second brother? He went to the study again and saw his second and third brothers reading.

Zhang Zhou saw his brother sneaking around on tiptoe, "Qiu Yu, have you finished your homework today?"

Discovered! Wang Qiuyu grabbed Xiao An and ran, shouting, "I'm busy now. I'll write it later."

Zhang Zhou was amused. "What is he busy with?"

"Busy playing with the dog." Guan Xu said.

Finally, it was Aunt Qingwu! Wang Qiuyu first went to his sister's room to take a look. She was playing the pipa again. He hid outside the window and listened for a while, shaking his head and almost singing along.

Xiao An put his two front paws on the window, as if he wanted to see what was inside. Wang Qiuyu reacted, remembered his mission, and dragged Xiao An back by pinching his mouth. He put his finger on his mouth and said, "Shh, we have to be sneaky. We can't be discovered."

Wang Qiuyu found this game fascinating. With her hands on her hips, she thought, "I'm a detective with a heavy responsibility! I have to help my sister solve the mystery! I can't listen to music anymore!"

He quietly came to Jia Qingwu's room again and hid in the window to look out.

"Have you invited the opera troupe?" Jia Qingwu asked.

"Please come in." said Aunt Xu.

"How's the cleanup going at the new house?"

"The front hall has been repaired. It will be in the front yard when the time comes. The others will be busy in the back yard to set it up."

"Where are the jugglers?"

"Also invited, the most popular one in Wa Si."

"Will the clothes be in time?"

"There's enough time."

...Wang Qiuyu didn't think there was anything secretive. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Aunt Qingwu say, "Do you think these are too few birthday gifts?"

"It's quite a bit. They've got the troupe's acrobatics, clothes and jewelry, and even a small bag of gold peanuts. I think it's more than enough. If it were any more, Wang's parents didn't prepare much anyway. Comparing it to what we've got, I'm afraid they'd feel uncomfortable."

Birthday present? Who? Wang Qiuyu counted on his fingers the birthdays of everyone in his family, but couldn't remember whose birthday it was.

But there are opera troupes and acrobatics! That's great! Wang Qiuyu didn't listen any further and turned to find Xia Chu, "Sister, sister, Aunt Qingwu is busy preparing gifts! There are opera troupes and acrobatics, so we should be able to go and watch them then, right? Do you think Aunt Qingwu will let me go? What if she doesn't let me go?"
