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

Dong Xiaomao found that he was actually very adaptable and even liked this kind of life.

He was worried for the first few days and slept in the shop. After business stabilized and the shop closed early, he went home.

Li Xi waited eagerly, and finally someone showed up. He quickly came over to greet him and asked about his well-being. "Xiao Mao, you're back? Are you tired? Let me get you some hot water."

"It's okay. Where are my parents? Where is my son?" Dong Xiaomao walked around the room and found that Li Xi was the only one there.

No one was around, which suited Li Xi just fine. She smiled ingratiatingly, "Mom and Dad took Dongdong for a walk after dinner. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Dong Xiaomao went to the woodshed first. His father had already stored quite a bit of firewood. But for the winter, the more the better, but he didn't have much free time. "I'm going out for a while."

"Why are you leaving again after just coming back? Where are you going?" Li Xi couldn't let him go before he could finish his words, so he quickly grabbed his arm.

Dong Xiaomao shook his hand, but it didn't get away. "I'm going to find Bozi, what are you doing?"

Li Xi originally wanted to talk slowly, but now he was afraid that he would leave and fall asleep at night. He asked anxiously, "When will you take me to the city?"

Dong Xiaomao was puzzled. "Take you there? What are you going to do in the city?"

"Then what are you doing in the city?" Li Xi asked back.

Dong Xiaomao didn't want to tell her that, with her temper, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't cause trouble. "I've found a job, and I won't be doing business anymore."

"What kind of work?" Li Xi was angry when he saw that he was not telling the truth, "You opened a shop and didn't tell me, and you didn't even take me with you. Do you have someone else out there?"

Dong Xiaomao listened to her nonsense and had no idea how she knew about the shop, but now that things had come to a head, he might as well tell her the truth. If she continued to speculate, she would only make a scene back at her parents' house and be laughed at. "This shop isn't mine, it's my sister's. They let me work as a clerk. Business is busy, so I live in the shop. Don't tell her nonsense."

Isn't my sister's family still my own? Anyway, they have such a good relationship, and there is no one left at my brother-in-law's house. But after hearing the last part, Li Xi's voice suddenly exploded, "Walker?? My sister only wants you to be a clerk? If you are a family member, you must be a shopkeeper or something? How much is the monthly salary?"

Dong Xiaomao's head tightened at the piercing sound of her voice. He looked around to see if there was anyone around, and pulled her into the house with one hand. "Keep your voice down! Why are you asking so many questions? Is your family short of food, drink, or clothes?"

Li Xi's dream of becoming a city lady was shattered. She couldn't accept it for a moment. "What's wrong with my loud voice? My sister is not kind enough to do things. Why would she let her own brother be a servant? I guess they are just pretending to be close to each other!"

Dong Xiaomao's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"

"Why should I shut up? I won't shut up! You guys keep sending her things like she's moving house! Now she's opened a shop, and you only give her a clerk! She might as well be a businessman! I'm going to talk to my parents and ask them why their good daughter treats her brother like this?" Li Xi was about to leave, but Dong Xiaomao didn't dare let her go. It would be fine if she made a scene at home, but if she did it outside, the whole village would laugh at her.

"Not the clerk! It's the boss! Are you satisfied?" Dong Xiaomao could only tell the truth.

Li Xi suspected that he was just trying to appease her, "Really?"

"Really, stop it." Dong Xiaomao had a headache and regretted coming back.

Li Xi immediately smiled brightly, and with a turn of his eyes, he asked, "So you're going to live in the shop? Are you alone?"

Dong Xiaomao sighed helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Li Xi said happily, "Then take me and my son with you."

"What are you going to do?" If she goes there and makes such a fuss all day long, how can she do anything?

"Isn't it good for our family of three to be together? It was inconvenient to travel around before, and now you live in the city and never come back. What should I do if my son misses his father? Why not take us all with you to keep you company? I can take care of you and do some work in the shop." Li Xi was already fantasizing in his mind. When the time comes, he will buy clothes from the city and wear them back. The women in the village will definitely be envious.

Her thoughts were almost written on her face. Dong Xiaomao felt exhausted. "The shop belongs to my sister, not to me. I will come back when I have time. You guys don't need to go."

"My sister's is still ours, and there is no one at my brother-in-law's house." Li Xi blurted out what was in his heart.

"What the hell are you talking about? Forget about that. I can't possibly take you there." Dong Xiaomao slammed her away and was about to go out for some quiet time, but then he realized that Li Xi's temper would definitely catch up and continue making trouble. He suddenly felt very annoyed and regretted coming back.

Li Xi really chased after him and said to him, "Why are you so fierce? I didn't say anything wrong. I want to go. If you don't take me, I'll go find it myself!"

Dong Xiaomao turned around and looked at her coldly. After the last incident, he had already disliked Li Xi. He had not divorced her for Dongdong's sake, but she seemed to have forgotten the pain. "I'm saying this one last time. You are not allowed to go."

Li Xi felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him when he was stared at by such eyes. He nodded tremblingly.

"Dad! Dad is back! Dongdong misses Dad!" Dong's father and others happened to come back, and Dong Dongdong rushed up to his dad happily when he saw him.

The chubby little face rubbed against the back of Dong Xiaomao's hand, which was warm and soft. His eyes were filled with pure joy and admiration, and Dong Xiaomao's anger was instantly extinguished. He held his son in his arms, kissed his little face, and said softly, "Daddy misses Dongdong too."

Dong Dongdong laughed uncontrollably, covering his face with his hands. "Zaza, Daddy doesn't shave, you sloppy boy."

"You've stabbed our Dongdong again! Daddy's so sloppy." Dong's mother smiled as she approached. As soon as she returned, she noticed something was amiss between her son and daughter-in-law. She didn't know what it was, but she figured they'd done something unreasonable again. Xiaomao had always had a good temper and didn't get angry easily.

"Daddy is tired, his eyes are dark." Dong Dongdong touched Dong Xiaomao's dark circles, seeming to feel distressed. He imitated his grandmother's coaxing tone and said, "Sleep well, dear."

Dong Xiaomao's heart was cleared of any gloom. He hugged his son's soft body and closed his eyes. "Then Dongbao, sleep with daddy tonight. See if daddy is good."

"Okay," Dong Dongdong nodded obediently and looked back at his grandmother. "Grandma, Dongdong will sleep with you next time. I have to coax Daddy today."

Dong's mother heard his tone and knew he was imitating her. She couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, okay, Dongdong is so busy."

Dong Dongdong nodded seriously, "Yes, Dongdong is a hot commodity."

"Hahahaha..." Laughter rang out in the yard, and the whole family was amused by this happy guy.

That night, Li Xi didn't find a chance to say anything. Her son slept between them. A little moonlight shone into the room. She looked at the two sleeping faces, one big and one small, feeling extremely wronged. She secretly cried for half the night.
