C20 Uncle and His Family(2)

"Qingqing, come here and smell it. Which smell is good here?" Cuijiarong held up an item wrapped in kraft paper for Xiawanqing to see.

Xiawanqing also walked over. She squatted down, and Cuijiarong put the thing under her nose.

"Does it smell good?" Cuijiarong asked.

"Smells good." The Xiawanqing nodded.

"Yes, it smells good." Cuijiarong put down the thing that smelled of osmanthus, and then picked up another type of thing. He placed it next to his nose and smelled it, then acted as if he despised it and fanned it with his hands. Then, he picked up another piece, smelled it, revealed a smile on his face, and let the Xiawanqing smell it.

"Is this the Xiangyizi?" Xiawanqing asked.

"Yes." The Cuijiarong nodded his head and explained to the Xiawanqing: "This is a new item that came out not long ago. It smells good, and when used for a bath, it feels very comfortable.

"Oh." Xiawanqing nodded her head. In her previous life, she also knew that this kind of Xiangyizi was probably selling for two dollars, she had always been reluctant to buy one for her. Every time she went shopping in this kind of place, she would go far away, afraid that she would not be able to resist the urge to buy one.

"Which one should I buy?" Cuijiarong was a little hesitant, "I like both of these flavors."

"Then which one do you like the most?" Xiawanqing asked.

"I like both." Cuijiarong was very conflicted, "If only I had much more money, then I could have bought two pieces."

"How much is this?" The Xiawanqing asked again.

"One piece of hardware." The Cuijiarong replied.

"So expensive." Xiawanqing whispered. This thing was only the size of a child's fist, but it was sold for such a high price. In his previous life, he remembered only selling it for two dollars, but it could also be because this item had just been passed down from the county city, so it had to be a bit more expensive.

Just as Xiawanqing and Cuijiarong were mumbling to themselves, a woman's voice came from the counter.

"Are you two little girls going to buy it or not? If you don't want to buy it, then don't touch it! "

When the Xiawanqing heard him say that, she felt a little awkward. She bitterly placed the Xiangyizi back to its original position, but the Cuijiarong stuck out her tongue and said: "Of course we want to buy it. Aren't we choosing to taste it now?"

When the lady on the counter heard Cuijiarong's words, she did not say anymore and did not choose anymore. She picked up the piece of the Xiangyizi that Xiawanqing had placed down just now, stood up and went to pay the bill.

While taking out the five coins, Cuijiarong retorted about the shopkeeper: "Big sister, you're so stingy, I often buy it from you, today I brought my little sister here to take a look, and you still want to talk about us!"

The owner was a beautiful woman in her twenties. Her long hair was tied up with a golden hairpin, and her face was smeared with a thin layer of powder. Her cheeks were smeared with rouge, which made her look extremely beautiful to Xiawanqing.

"I didn't know it was you." The pretty shopkeeper seemed to know the Cuijiarong and said, "I thought you were a naughty kid from somewhere. If I knew it was you, even after smelling the entire Xiangyizi for an entire day, I wouldn't say a word about you."

The Cuijiarong finally smiled and said: "So that's how it is. Then next time we can use it to buy more, we won't have enough money today. Mother only gave me a few tens of coins, causing me to be unable to afford anything else." She was very generous and didn't feel embarrassed or inferior at all because she couldn't afford any more money.

"Little girl, don't worry. There are many types of flavors in this Xiangyizi. You will definitely like it after using it." The owner smiled and said amiably to the two of them.

"Un, the Xiangyizi here is not bad, it's just a little small. It disappeared after a few days of washing." The Cuijiarong said to the shop owner.

Hearing Cuijiarong's words, the shopkeeper seemed to be amused. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "Use it to buy more."

Walking out of the shop, Xiawanqing kept his head down. He passed the shop over to Xiawanqing and said, "Here, this is for you."

"For me?" Xiawanqing was surprised.

"Yeah, didn't I just see you take this for a long time and give it to you?" The Cuijiarong said generously.

"But, what about you?" Xiawanqing asked.

"I still have a little at home. When I'm free, I'll knit some grass ropes. When that time comes, I'll be able to sell them for money again."

Hearing Cuijiarong's words, Xiawanqing realized that Cuijiarong had also earned money by knitting grass ropes. Xiawanqing knew how long she needed to knit a 3 Jin grass rope. She held onto the Xiangyizi's heart and was a little touched, unable to speak for a long time. This was something that the Cuijiarong liked, it wasn't something that she could easily obtain, but she gave it to herself so casually.

"Cousin, are you very familiar with this shop owner?" After a long while, the Xiawanqing asked again.

"Then you said that?" Xiawanqing was puzzled.

"Aiya, you're stupid. Just now, she said that we were going to take her things, but you already felt a bit embarrassed and scared, right?" Just as Cuijiarong finished speaking, he saw Xiawanqing nodding his head, thus Cuijiarong continued to speak: "This shopkeeper is a despicable person, you don't have to care about him, you buy your things, she sells her goods. Look today, after I said that I wanted to buy some, did her attitude improve? "These people mainly look at money. It doesn't really matter if you know her or not."

"Yes." Xiawanqing nodded her head, she felt that what Cuijiarong said made sense, but after a while, she asked again: "Then Cousin sister, if we really do not have money, what about if we cannot afford it?"

"You can't look at it without money? Then we can't afford it today, we can afford it next time. Are you afraid she'll laugh at you again? Do you believe that if she were to say those words again today, I would go up and tear her mouth apart. We kids don't need to be afraid of her anyways. When I have money, I will use it to smash her to death. " Cuijiarong said in a domineering manner.

Xiawanqing nodded his head again. Although he had been reborn, he felt that he could not compare to this cousin of his. It seemed like a person's personality was carved into their bones, but he had to learn to slowly change in the future. He could not be so timid!

Just as Xiawanqing was about to clench his fist to cheer himself up, Cuijiarong walked over and held his hand again, saying: "Qingqing, when you're with your cousin, don't be afraid of anything. Your cousin will take care of you."

"Yes." Xiawanqing nodded, then turned his head to look at him and said, "Cousin sister, you're really nice to me."

"Of course, of all the cousins here, the cousin likes you the most. In the cousin's heart, if you're not the cousin, then you're the cousin's blood sister." The Cuijiarong said.

Because Xiawanqing and Cuijiarong had lived together for a few years when they were young, Cuijiarong had always treated Xiawanqing as his own sister. His uncle and his family loved each other dearly, and they were all modest people.

Xiawanqing really liked living like this. It was just that unfortunately, when his Aunt raised him up with great effort, he fell in love with her bloodline. When Cuishi came to bring her back, she immediately agreed.

She didn't have a brother or sister at her aunt's place. At the beginning, she was hesitant, but her brother or sister walked over and gently held her hand. It was soft and small. Therefore, she wanted to be this big sister to take good care of them. She didn't know that they had such morals and were completely heartless people!

But wasn't she a blind dog? Initially, the Cuishi was busy with her own matters. After she gave birth to her own daughter, she was unwilling to even raise her own child. Just like that, she put herself at her uncle's home, only coming to visit during New Year's Eve.

But when he grew up and they gave birth to twins, he wanted the Taoshi to take care of them. He wanted the Taoshi to take care of two of them and the other three as well. The most important thing was that the Wangshi had always raised him as his own daughter. The Cuishi was afraid that if he stayed here for too long, he would really become her daughter.

In this country, the average uncle would treat his nephew well, so an old saying was passed down: 'My nephew, my nephew, my nephew, when you are done eating, leave with your tail between your legs!' Because most people in the village have a dog, this dog will run around the village, see who's eating, will run under your table, and wait for you to throw food down. But no matter how much food you eat in your house, no matter how nice you treat it, it will eventually return to its home. At that time, he would become this nephew dog!

At that time, if he had said that he would stay, then Wangshi would have definitely thought of a way for him to stay. However, he did not say anything, nor did he say anything to stay, and he happily followed his family. He didn't see Wangshi leaning on the doorframe and waving her other hand. Her eyes were dripping with tears, and he didn't hear her cry and scold herself, "What a nephew dog!"

Afterwards, he slowly drifted away from the Wangshi and did not pay too much attention to them anymore. When he was married, he would only occasionally ask about their news, but not visit them.

To his good uncle and his family, he would definitely repay them well and hope that he could change their future. They were diligent, honest and kind people, they shouldn't have such a future. She hoped that their future would be blissful and happy, otherwise, if nothing could change, then why would she live again? Why not a dog or a cat!

When he thought about the cat, after returning to his uncle's home, Xiawanqing started to look for the big cat that his uncle's family kept. The Dahuamao that his uncle's family had kept for many years, had yellow and white fur, and every time it narrowed its eyes, it would lazily lie on the windowsill. From the moment he could remember, the cat was there.

Cuijiarong passed by while holding a bundle of straw in his hand. Seeing Xiawanqing going in and out of the houses, he asked: "Qingqing, what are you looking for?"

"Where is our Dahuamao?" Xiawanqing turned and asked.

Oh, you must be thinking about that Dahuamao. It went somewhere today, maybe in the attic or it went out. But you don't need to worry, it will appear when dinner time comes. The Cuijiarong said.

"Oh." Xiawanqing replied and stopped looking for the cat. Maybe the cat would come out by itself later.
