How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 27 Recognition Banquet
"I think this child looks a lot like Huanniang." Liu Peipei tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes." Liu Peipei agreed.
It just so happened that Wang Yong came back, and brought three colleagues with him who he had a good relationship with. "Xiao Huan, I'm back."
"Hey! Dinner will be served soon!" Dong Xiaohuan hurried out, nodded to the guests with a smile, and turned to make tea.
"Uncle Wang!" Xia Tian greeted him smartly.
“Yes, this is…” Wang Yong saw them and choked when he introduced them. My adopted daughter’s brothers? It would be troublesome to explain when asked in the future, so he said, “My godsons.
There are three boys, none of them is ugly, and each one is more handsome than the other.
Zhang Yang, who was traveling with them, looked at the children and said with a sour tone, "Brother Wang is so lucky. His children are all so energetic."
Wang Yong laughed and patted his shoulder, inviting him to go inside.
"Dad!" Xia Chu came out of the kitchen and rushed to Wang Yong. Seeing the stranger, he looked up and said, "Hello, uncles."
"Is this the little girl you were talking about?" Zhang Yang was already more than jealous. "Where did you find this, Brother Wang? Do you still have any?"
"This is our Xia Chu, Wang Xia Chu." Wang Yong rubbed her head with a bit of pride.
"Be well-behaved and polite. This is a gift from your uncle. Take it and play with it." Wu Tai was the oldest among the group. He was the first to take out a silver bracelet he had prepared.
"Brother Wu! This is too expensive!" Wang Yong was shocked and wanted to refuse.
"It's not for you." Wu Tai glanced at him and gently handed the bracelet over.
Xia Chu looked at Wang Yong and saw him nod. Then she smiled and accepted it, saying thank you, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."
"Hmm?" He immediately remembered his last name. "Very clever."
Zhou Minghao brought a piece of goose yellow cloth, "Your sister-in-law picked this out. Make some clothes for the child."
"Thank you, uncle." Xia Chu hugged him in his arms.
Zhang Yang brought a pot of wine and a bag of snacks. Now he regretted not listening to his wife and buying some things for the children. He just stuffed the snacks in front of her and said, "Take these snacks, uncle brought you."
"Thank you, uncle." Xia Chu accepted three gifts in a row and took them back to the room with a smile.
After Wang Yong returned, the men from the neighborhood came to visit. Before Wang Yong was away, the house was full of women, so it was difficult for them to come.
Dong Xiaohuan came out with tea and said with a smile, "Please sit down, the dishes are ready and will be served right away."
There was one table in the main room, and the women and children had another in the kitchen, both with the same dishes. After the dishes were served, Dong Xiaohuan brought out a jar of wine and treated everyone to a delicious meal.
Returning to the kitchen, she pulled out a bottle of plum wine from the cupboard. "Would you like to have some too?"
"Come on!" Liu Peipei responded generously, looking at Xia Tian and Zhang Zhou beside them, "These two guys are not young anymore, should they drink something too?"
"No, auntie, you guys drink it." Xia Tian quickly shook his head.
Zhang Zhou also refused, saying that alcohol is not a good thing.
Guan Xu was still young, his head buried in his food. Like a hamster, he would fill his mouth first, chewing while staring at the dishes on the table, wondering what to eat next.
Liu Peipei was so happy when she saw it that she picked up a chicken drumstick for him and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke. My house is so big and I still have to follow my mother-in-law to feed her. I wish she could eat half as much as him."
"Thank you, Auntie." Guan Xu covered his mouth and mumbled a thank you. He took the chicken leg but didn't eat it. He handed it to his sister and said, "Give it to Xiaoliu. Xiaoliu loves chicken legs."
The meal lasted until dusk, as they had to go to the government office the next day. Wang Yong and the others didn't drink much, so they were all sober when they left.
Xia Tian and the others helped pack up before leaving. Wang Yong was worried about their safety and insisted on sending them back. He had thought they were living in a beggar's den, but he didn't expect to walk all the way to a wealthy area. His brows furrowed more and more, "Where are you living?"
"There's an abandoned house over there, and we cleaned up a room and lived in it." Xia Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with it since no one lived there.
Wang Yong remained silent after hearing this and helped them push the rocks away. "Be careful."
"Goodbye uncle."
Dong Xiaohuan asked Xia Chu to get ready for bed and she cooked some sobering soup.
"I asked about the pearl, and it's worth quite a bit of money." Wang Yong took off his alcohol-smelling clothes and placed the pearl on the table. He pointed with his finger, "With the gold holder, it's worth less than that."
Dong Xiaohuan's eyes widened. "One hundred or?"
"I can buy a smaller house now." Wang Yong glanced at Xia Chu's room. "This pearl is worth a lot of money. The child who hit it must be born extraordinary. This thing...can't be sold by me."
"What should we do then?" Dong Xiaohuan frowned. "This thing is so valuable, should we return it to the child?"
Wang Yong shook his head.
"Then should we keep it for her?" Dong Xiaohuan was a little hesitant. They had just adopted a child, and it would be hot in their hands to handle such a valuable thing.
"Those kids live in that haunted house on Tai'an Street in the west of the city. Xiaochu wants to register them as residents, so this house is essential." Wang Yong kept thinking about this on the way back. "Are you going to take the kids back to your mother-in-law's house tomorrow? Xiaomao has been back soon, right?"
"Why do you have such an idea?" Dong Xiaohuan thought for a moment, "Do you want to ask Xiaomao to go?"
"What do you think? Xiaomao is doing business outside, so it would be perfect for him to take this thing." Wang Yong said.
"Alright, I'll take it back tomorrow..." Dong Xiaohuan thought for a moment, "I can't let my sister-in-law see this. She's obsessed with money, and if she makes a scene, it would be embarrassing enough."
"You decide for yourself. If she makes a fuss, just say it's mine." Wang Yong finished cleaning up. "Go to bed early."
"Ah."
As soon as the sun rose, Xia Chu was woken up by Dong Xiaohuan. She rubbed her eyes and asked dazedly what was wrong.
"We're going to grandma's house today. The road is a bit far, so get up early, dear." Dong Xiaohuan picked her up and put on her clothes, coaxing her, "Let's go buy some food later. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"It's all fine." Xia Chu could hardly open his eyes, and yawned again while staggering.
"Are you up yet?" Wang Yong felt sorry for Xia Chu's sleepy look. "No, let's go later. Let's rent a car. It's a long walk. Even if you're not tired, the child will be tired too."
"I'm fine, I'm not tired." Xia Chu was startled when he heard this. Afraid of causing trouble, he forced himself to open his eyes to prove that he was awake.
"Well..." If you rent a car to go back and forth, you can't stay too long. You have to come back as soon as you arrive. If you want to come back later, you have to rent a car, which costs a lot of money. Dong Xiaohuan was a little hesitant.
"I'm not tired, Mom! I'm awake! I can walk very fast!" Xia Chu was completely awake. "Let's walk there. We can enjoy the scenery along the way."
"What scenery is there to see?" Dong Xiaohuan was amused, knowing that she was sensible. "The road is full of weeds, there is nothing to see."
"I want to see it, let's go on foot." Xia Chu combed his hair, "Mom, help me comb my hair."
Wang Yong saw that they were not willing to take the car, so he said, "If you feel tired, just stop a bullock cart on the way."
"Okay, I got it." Dong Xiaohuan responded with a smile and took a comb to comb Xia Chu's hair.
