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

Dong's mother was here, making delicious meals every day. Xia Chu felt like she had gained weight, but she was still young, so a little weight wouldn't be a big deal.

Three days later, they were going home. Dong Dongdong threw a tantrum on the ground, saying, "No, no, I won't go back. I want to be my aunt's son."

Dong's mother was troubled by him, "Don't you miss your mother? She is waiting for you at home."

Dong Dongdong paused for a moment, then silently climbed up. Tears streamed down his face, and he looked incredibly pitiful. He sobbed, "Brother, sister, Dongdong will go back to find mom first. We'll come play next time."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xia Chu took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. She felt sorry for him and found him funny. It seemed like she would never see him again.

In fact, she was reluctant to do so. Her grandmother doted on the younger generation in every way. Not only did she cook delicious food, she also made some snacks.

My grandfather has very skillful hands. He can tear some grass and weave crickets, grasshoppers and dragonflies into lifelike shapes.

Despite her parents' refusal, Dong Xiaohuan rented an ox cart and sent them back.

After sending everyone off, the four children returned home speechless. Dong Xiaohuan was reluctant to leave her parents, and the other children were equally reluctant.

When Wang Yong returned home, he found that everyone looked depressed, and his wife's eyes were red. "Did my father-in-law and mother-in-law go back?"

"Yeah." Dong Xiaohuan leaned into his arms for comfort.

Wang Yong patted her and said, "I'll pick her up next month when I have some rest. Now that our house is big and we have a place to stay, we can pick her up anytime."

Dong Xiaohuan muttered, "I'm afraid I won't come next time. If I come too often, people will gossip about me."

"We are happy to do so. What's their business?" They said so, but if the old man didn't want to come, they couldn't force him. "Then wait until Xiaomao comes back and invite them over."

"it is good."

Summer had completely passed, the noisy cicadas' chirping vanishing with the autumn rain. Xia Chu ultimately didn't keep the only lotus flower in the yard to make tea. The lotus pods that formed were shared among the family.

Because they were picked early, the lotus seeds are very tender, and only the lotus core has a negligible bitterness.

Before the lotus leaves turned yellow, I bought chicken twice in the summer. At the beginning of summer, I made lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken. I stuffed the chicken with fried glutinous rice, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and steamed it for half an hour.

The whole chicken was fragrant with lotus leaves, and even Wang Yong praised it repeatedly. He also said that Xia Chu might be the reincarnation of a culinary god, which is why he had such strange recipes in his mind.

Xia Chu smiled and changed the subject. She actually had a lot of doubts, but she kept silent. Dong Xiaohuan and Wang Yong didn't ask much, just pretending not to know.

While setting up her stall, Xia Chu was stunned when she heard the familiar voice of "Wang Mei". The handsome young master had become much tanned, his features toughened, and his eyes firmer. If it weren't for that familiar smirk, she would have hardly recognized him. "Young Master Zhao?"

"It's me," Zhao Huazhang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time. How come you've changed so much?" Xia Chu looked him up and down and found that he seemed to have become much stronger.

"Master Zhao?" Dong Xiaohuan handed the cake to the customer and looked over with a surprised look. "What a big change."

"Hehe..." Zhao Huazhang scratched his head, "Brother, give me some fresh sausage."

Xia Tian glanced at him and silently handed him one.

Xia Chu didn't take the money Qingsong handed over, but he didn't change much.

Zhao Huazhang didn't bring any tables or chairs today. He stood next to Xia Chu and chatted with her. "I went to the military camp. It was hard, but I learned a lot."

Xia Chu had a natural fascination with soldiers, and instantly found Zhao Huazhang more pleasing to the eye. Her tone was filled with admiration, "So you are a soldier now?"

"I guess so, but it's just a pawn."

"Soldiers are amazing! You've changed a lot now, so you can't give up halfway."

This reassured Zhao Huazhang. He felt extremely uncomfortable during the first month. Not only did he have to share a large bunk bed with others, but those people didn't like to shower, and the room was filled with a sour odor of foot odor and sweat.

The first time he went in, he nearly vomited and wanted to go home right away. The food tasted like pig food, and the snoring kept him awake at night. He hadn't slept for nearly three days, and by then, even standing up made him sleepy.

He failed the training and was scolded by the captain every day. The spit sprayed on his face. He couldn't help but fight with the captain, but he didn't expect that his supernatural power would be noticed by the lieutenant general.

The subsequent training was even more painful. He couldn't sleep at night and even considered running back home, but was caught and beaten with twenty military sticks. He didn't get out of bed for half a month and didn't get to go home during his first month of rest.

When his grandmother saw that he had not returned, she came to look for him anxiously. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, she cried and said she wanted to take him back.

The lieutenant general didn't disagree, but said with disdain, "Go back quickly, Master Jiao, this is not a place for you to stay."

This spoiled young master touched his rebellious heart. He refused his grandmother's request and insisted on staying in the barracks. He must find an opportunity to defeat Lieutenant General Yang!

He didn't go home for the second month, training hard every day. Slowly, he began to sleep well, probably because he was tired. At least he wasn't woken by the snoring anymore, but he still hadn't gotten used to the smell. He showered every day and was teased for being a sissy.

But after he taught those people a lesson, fewer people talked about it.

He didn't tell Xia Chu about those bad things, he only said that he was invincible in the military camp.

This was a bit exaggerated. He had no skills at first, relying solely on brute force, which was enough to defeat the new recruits. However, the veterans were cunning and insidious, beating him was like teasing a monkey. They didn't attack directly, but used underhanded tactics.

When he has trained well, he will beat them until they kneel down and call him grandpa.

Zhao Huazhang left not long after staying there. He only had one day off and he had to go back to accompany his grandmother.

Watching the boy's back slowly disappearing in the crowd, Xia Chu always felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Sister, why didn't you return the ball to him?" Xia Tian reminded her when he saw her in a daze.

"Oh! I was just saying I forgot something!" Xia Chu ran forward two steps and could no longer see anyone. "You're walking so fast."

When closing the stall, Dong Xiaohuan always felt uncomfortable, her heart was anxious, and her stomach was aching.

"Mom? Your face is so pale! What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhang Zhou was the first to notice something was wrong. He supported Dong Xiaohuan and asked repeatedly.

Dong Xiaohuan waved her hands weakly, "My stomach hurts a little, I wonder if I ate something bad."

Xia Chu made a prompt decision, "Brother! Help mom to the clinic!"

As soon as Wang Yong entered the house, he felt that it was too quiet. Guan Xu, who had always been waiting for him to come back, was nowhere to be seen today.

Is business bad? Why hasn't he come back yet?

When I walked into the main hall, I saw the stall cart there, greasy and not cleaned yet.

What about people?

"Xiao Huan? Xiao Tian?"
