An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Glutinous Rice Ball was most delighted when Cousin Xi said she would give her two candies every day, telling her not to eat too much because it would rot her teeth. That was enough to make her happy. Morning and evening, she'd also give her a small, milk-flavored pastry. It was soft, sweet, and surprisingly smooth, melting in her mouth. It was truly delicious. She was delighted: "Cousin Xi loves me the most. I have candy, but my brother and older sister don't."

During breaks, we could get off the bus and play with my fourth brother, throwing pebbles and making little grasshoppers. Sometimes my cousin Xi would join in the fun. She was more patient. The brothers and sisters always called her "little brat" and never "little glutinous rice dumpling." Occasionally, my cousin Xi would pinch her little cheek and say, "That's fun."

Cousin Xi also told my aunt that we can bask in the autumn sun more often without covering ourselves with clothes, saying that basking in the sun is healthier.

Cousin Xi knows so much.

We soon arrived at Dafeng County. The post station was only two miles away from the county town, and it was not far from the city gate.

This time, when people lined up in front of the post station and were counting the number of people, Master Liu, who had never shown his face, personally gave a warning and reprimand speech, and then walked around the crowd. Scarface stood beside them, waving an empty whip to help intimidate everyone.

Master Liu finally said, "After dinner tonight, stay here quietly and no one is allowed to go out." He did not say that there would be other prisoners joining tonight or tomorrow, so everyone in the team was a little skeptical: Is the information Jing Changning got reliable?

After shocking everyone, Master Liu took Scarface and three other yamen runners out, probably to the county government office to make the handover.

After the tiger left, the monkey became king, and no one cared about the noise in the post station.

"You didn't even have a change of clothes on the way here, and someone even tried to mess with you. Look at how dirty you all are, without even a face towel to wash your face. You deserve it!"

"Haha! Look, we're not foolish, but we still made it here. We're under the emperor's feet, and we have officials protecting us. When others said we were coming for the wolf, you actually believed it."

As expected, the faces and clothes of Old Lady Wang and Mrs. Su were clean, and it was obvious that they did not listen to the advice. But Mrs. Lin, who had a bad complexion and was too thin, looked good even when she was young, and looked like a hungry ghost after the yellow mud was smeared on her face. Even Qiaoqiao had yellow mud marks on her face. It seemed that she, the granddaughter-in-law, was also frightened by the words of the clan members.

The others have no time to deal with the two of them. They are exhausted after walking all day, and everyone is busy grabbing a seat!

They still slept in a large dormitory at night. This time, Jing Chunxi didn't want to let her family down anymore, so she asked her cousin to go out with her.

If they were more generous, they would give the inn manager and the cook one or two taels of silver each, and then pay another one or two taels of silver, and they would get an extra large bunk bed, so that men and women could finally live separately.

Although the rented room is relatively small, it looks cleaner because not many people live there usually. However, Jing Chunxi is still not satisfied. While going to see the house with the manager, he sent Jing Mingyue to the kitchen. After the manager left, he took out the clean bedding and pillows in the space and replaced them all. He put the dirty ones that smelled of stinky feet in the space first, and would find a way to replace them tomorrow.

When the little glutinous rice dumpling came in and saw the brand new and clean bed, he happily took off his shoes and jumped onto it. He was directly carried down by Aunt Zhao and his butt was patted twice: "You are as dirty as a monkey. You have to wash yourself before you can get on." The little guy stuck out his tongue and made a face, but still followed his aunt obediently.

Jing Mingyue: "It's true that money makes the world go round. I can live in such a nice house with just three taels of silver."

Her mother immediately poked her forehead and said, "You know how precious your twenty taels of silver is! Look at what ordinary people can do with twenty taels. Don't cry when you have to live a hard life in the future."

"Mom, I understand! Do you think I would cry? I know my parents are here..." Jing Mingyue fell silent after saying this and looked at her mother again, afraid of making her cry.

Zhuang just sighed softly, then comforted her daughter, saying, "Your third uncle said that he sent a message to your father on the day of exile. If he's smart, he should be fine."

However, the joy that the mother and daughter had just felt at seeing the tidy bed disappeared. Fortunately, their actions and conversation did not alarm others, and everyone else was immersed in the sudden happiness.

Si Yan touched the quilt, then sat on it, and said a little worriedly: "I wonder if it's the same with my father and husband?"

Aunt Feng: "I don't think so. Didn't you say you spent money to get it?"

Yin was quite open-minded. "It's not right for the yamen runners to not provide us with accommodation. However, if we can continue to use the money tomorrow night, we'll endure the stench of Big Foot for one night, so that Father and the others can have a good place to stay, right?"

Someone responded, "Then the old lady will also have to smell the smell of big feet, right?"

Touching the brand new and soft quilt, the old lady also felt that it was very good. She just blocked their words and said, "Alright, from now on, listen to Sister Xi's arrangements. Those guys over there are rough guys, so sleeping in the wild is normal. This is still close to the capital. In the southern barbaric land, do you think there will be such good conditions?"

Jing Chunxi did not move into the room where his grandfather lived, worried that he would not have time to clean it in the morning. Anyway, the mattresses and quilts that his grandfather used were all brought in from a cart, so they were relatively clean and tidy. There were four quilts in total, including mattresses and quilts, which was enough for everyone to share.

The four cousins ​​adapted quickly, not to mention that Grandpa Xiaobei had experienced many hardships in the military camp. It was just that the third uncle, a scholar who had never suffered, was wronged.

Tonight, no one questioned anything. Zhuang, the most skeptical, was lost in worry about her husband's safety. The others, looking at the still vaguely familiar quilt and pillow, acquiesced: these were commonplace items readily available in the capital's shops.

After all, we had spent a night in the cell and walked for two days, and we were dirty and tired. Once we sat down, we didn't want to move.

Chu Chunxi still felt that everyone should be wiped clean. Every day, they would just wipe their faces and go to bed. He felt that if they didn't get close to Lingnan, they would definitely get lice on their bodies, which was creepy.

Just when they were about to ask Tang Shuang to boil some water, a maid brought them the hot water.

As a reward, the cook and the two maids who worked in the kitchen brought hot water directly to their room. They also gave them a pair of old door panels to install in the corner of the room as a partition for them, saying that a few buckets would be delivered there later.

Jing Mingyue and her three aunts were very happy. Although three buckets of water were not enough for taking a bath, if they were evenly distributed in the wooden basins, each of them would have almost half a basin of water, which was enough for them to wipe their bodies comfortably.
