It was already dark when they got home.
He Yuzhu took a plate of pig skin jelly and went to the backyard.
The whole family was waiting for him to finish his meal. They had already heated up a few plates of big buns.
"If you don't need steamed buns, just vegetables." At the Deaf Old Lady's age, she had experienced all kinds of hardships. The buns were filled with vegetables. She felt that it would be a waste to add another dish.
"Try it. This is pig skin jelly. It's beautiful and delicious.”As soon as He Yuzhu was on the table, the children couldn't wait any longer and started eating.
"Brother Zhu Zi, why did you get off work so late today?”Xu Qiubai asked softly.
Xu Qiubai was a little bored at home. The happiest thing in her day was to chat with He Yuzhu in the morning and evening.
During the day, she only accompanied the old lady, knitted sweaters, and did some housework. There was nothing else to do.
"I set up a stall in Pigeon City with a little brother.”
"Set up a stall? What are you selling?" Xu Qiubai's big eyes fanned as he blinked. His interest was piqued.
"It's a mess. You can sell anything. Today, we went to sell the mousetrap.”He Yuzhu said as he ate.
"So fun." Xu Qiubai was very envious. She wanted to go with them, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
"I'll bring you along after two days off?”
He Yuzhu could tell what Xu Qiubai was thinking. It was indeed boring for her to stay at home every day.
"Really? But I don't know how to sell things." Xu Qiubai was delighted.
"Just stand beside me and a group of people will immediately surround me! This is called…modeling." Isn't that so? With such beauty, it would be strange if she didn't attract people.
"I don't want to be a model. You can teach me how to sell things when the time comes!”
He Yuzhu thought to herself,'With your figure, it's a pity that you don't want to be a model.'
…………
The Third Master Yan Shuzhai was also eating buns.
Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and the four children at home surrounded the table. They looked at the three buns in the middle of the table and drooled.
"Cut the buns into halves.”Third Uncle said.
"Dad, one bun is not enough for each of us. You…how can you eat half of a bun?”Yan Jiecheng pursed his lips.
His father was really stingy. There were clearly more than 20 buns, but everyone could share a few. How satisfying would that be?
"Isn't there cornbread? What's in this bun? There was meat and vegetables! He finished it all in one breath, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, he couldn't taste anything.”
Good heavens, he didn't even need to cook the dishes.
They had no choice. The children knew Third Master's temper, so they could only do as he said.
"Sigh, that's right. A small mouthful of steamed bun and a large mouthful of cornbread. Only by slowly tasting and chewing can you taste the taste of the ginseng fruit.”Third Uncle shook his head and said.
He was delighted. With this method of eating, their family could still eat a few big buns.
"The buns are too delicious! Mom, I still want to eat!" Yan Jiedi didn't follow Third Uncle's instructions and stuffed half of the bun into his mouth.
"Wretched girl, you have a small appetite, and I'm even giving you half. You're already making a profit.”Third Aunt poked the little girl's head with her finger.
"Our family's style is fair and just. No one should take advantage of us.”
Third Uncle emphasized, completely forgetting that he and Third Aunt were secretly eating pig trotters.
…………
He Yuzhu and Xu Qiubai were chatting in the inner room. The big bed he made had been covered with a straw mat. There was also a blanket on it. There were curtains hanging from the window and the door. It was much warmer.
He Yuzhu was full and half-lying on the bed, listening to Xu Qiubai chattering about her childhood.
The dim yellow light shone on her jade-like cheeks, making her look like a piece of exquisite art, exuding an exaggerated sense of beauty.
"Do you know that my brother-in-law is from Guangdong? He speaks so funny that I can't understand him. Whenever my senior sister sang, he would cheer at the side and keep saying things like how sharp the monkey was and how powerful the monkey was. It was so funny.”
Xu Qiubai giggled non-stop. He Yuzhu almost couldn't associate her with the beautiful fairy from a few days ago.
"Where is your brother-in-law now?" He Yuzhu was a little curious. Xu Qiubai did not seem to blame his brother-in-law for abandoning his wife and child.
"He went to Xiangjiang with Master to open a troupe and hasn't come back. They might not even know that their sister had passed away.”
Xu Qiubai looked a little lonely. She envied those seniors and juniors who went to Xiangjiang City with her master. She didn't go with them because she had to take care of her senior sister who was still feeding the baby. However, she didn't know that she had never heard from them since then.
Xiangjiang!
It was indeed the dream place of countless performers back then.
He Yuzhu had a bad feeling. Would Xu Qiubai go to Xiangjiang like Lou Xiao'e?
He was extremely reluctant, but no one could escape or avoid the wheel of fate.
It was better to cherish the present.
He cherished every day he spent with her. If he could get married earlier and have children earlier, she would stay by his side forever.
