Poor family mother and son

Chapter 493 "Pedestrian Street"

A few Mao Mao had left the team and left on their own.

Xiaobao looked at their backs enviously, and Shui Xiaomao comforted him: "I'll be with you, don't worry."

She also tiptoed close to Xiaobao's ear and whispered: "Grandpa will come today, they must have gone to find him, don't worry about the place for lunch!"

Well, seeing that the sun is getting brighter, it is right for them to leave.

Hearing that there is no need to worry about lunch and that Shui Maomao is with him, Xiaobao goes shopping more confidently and boldly, but Shui Xiaomao's straw hat is touched by children from time to time, so he keeps holding the brim of the hat with his hands.

In fact, he also had some concerns about bringing so many children out. There were so many people on the street, and it would be difficult for him to explain to the parents in case of a stampede.

Since Shui Maomao was able to come, it was natural that someone would follow him, so it was better to watch the children.

As the crowd slowly marched on the street, after passing through the stalls that sell more food, there is a stall selling gadgets in front of it.

Anyone who can come out to occupy a place to set up a stall is sent by various shops.

Ordinary people are not willing to pay the booth fee, especially today's fee is [-]% higher than usual.

But the benefits of setting up stalls are also obvious.

There are a lot of people today, no matter whether they are rich or poor, whether they are rich ladies or poor old men, they all come out to celebrate the festival.

Usually go out in a carriage or a sedan chair, and the boudoir ladies who are determined not to show their faces are followed by a string of girls and women who come out to walk and have a look.

Of course, today's street has completely turned into a "pedestrian street" with many people. For safety reasons, the government does not allow carriages, sedan chairs, etc. to enter.

Not to mention that the women who rolled their arms and sleeves to do farm work like men on weekdays also changed into clean and tidy clothes, and some even specially put on the only pair of silver bracelets that were dowry when they got married, just to be happy Have a heartfelt festival.

The more people there are, the more people spend money. Every booth is full of people, and the business is good.

The thieves are also out for the holiday.

Where there are stalls, one or two thieves can always be seen, pretending to squeeze forward to buy something, and steal the purses of the people around them.

Xiaobao also felt several gazes darting to the red dragonfly above his head, obviously trying to trick him.

It's just that there are many people around him, and it's hard for thieves to squeeze in.

The most sensitive ones were the dozen or so "May [-]th" who came out. They went out without a sound, and returned to the team after a while.

Soon, Xiaobao heard: "Where is my purse?"

Following the sound, he found a person suspected by Xiaobao to be a thief, groping around, holding the remaining half of the purse strap on his belt with one hand, and searching in his arms with the other hand.

Then Xiaobao saw the "May [-]th" secretly winking at each other.

Alas, whether to steal or not is a matter of attitude, and whether or not to steal is a matter of skill.

This group of "May [-]th" has a high level and poor attitude!

"Mom, there are too many people, let's go home."

A crisp voice came, not far from Xiaobao.

Seeing more and more people on the street, Meng Yueyue really didn't want to be crowded with the crowd, so she said to her mother.

Mrs. Li stood on tiptoe and looked around, persuading her daughter: "There are so many people!
Look at the front, the direction of the crowd is 'Pinxiang Pavilion', I heard from your father yesterday that the government office set up a stage in front of the Pinxiang Pavilion today, and invited the troupe of Southern Opera;

Your father also said that the girls from Pinxiang Pavilion will also be on stage today, and you can see the "Tuozhi Dance" that you can't usually see today. "

But Meng Yueyue was not very interested,

Who knows that his own father will marry him off for the benefit no matter what, so the mood will not be high, right?
Hearing a girl's voice, Xiaobao's team instantly stood closer together as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Along the way just now, some married women were caught in it, even if there was a slight bump, it would be fine.

But girls who are about my age are different.

Xiaobao felt that both of his feet were off the ground, it was like "floating" these few steps.

Can't stand them!

There are still guards in the four circles, so we can't touch them at all, okay?As for being so nervous?ah?
Unbearable, Xiaobao decided to leave them!

Squeeze any more, and everything you ate just now will come out of your throat.

Gan Lai finally found out "conscience", and dragged Xiao Bao to his side, Xiao Bao immediately felt that the air was fresh.

Gan Lai was not easy, the sweat on her face flowed into her big beard, and Xiaobao was worried that her beard would be glued again.

Also, when Gan came to drink a cold drink just now, there was sweet water sticking to his beard, locks and locks, which made people anxious, and always wanted to get a comb.

"Mother, I still want to go home." Meng Yueyue said.

The little girl was dripping with sweat, her bangs were sticking to her forehead.

In hot weather, women usually wear gauze double-breasted dresses, with tube tops down to an inch below the collarbone.

Meng Yueyue is also dressed like this, and her sweat has already dripped down her temples to her collarbone.

And there were so many people around, and most of them were sweat-smelling men with bare arms and only wearing straps, which made her even more reluctant to stay for a long time.

So Meng Yueyue said firmly: "Mom, let's go back!"

Li Shi originally wanted to take her daughter out to relax, but seeing that there was really no good environment right now, she gave up.

But it is not easy to turn around, the crowd has already started to say: "Someone has come out over there, the old bustards of Pinxiang Pavilion have come out to make a fuss!"

So people are more crowded, and the speed of traveling in that direction becomes faster.

In this way, she wanted to protect her daughter from being touched, and she also wanted to avoid contact with others, so Li Shi also began to panic.

Not far away from them, Lei Xiaopao, Meng Yong's follower, saw it, and hurried into the teahouse behind him to report to his master: "Master, the young lady seems to be leaving, and that young master Chu is almost approaching her, what should I do?"

As long as he is not at home, Lei Xiaopao considerately calls Meng Yong the master and Meng Yueyue the eldest girl, in order to satisfy Meng Yong's desire to "struggle for independence".

Meng Yong rolled his eyes: "Go! Wrestle the eldest lady, stay away, so that no one can see it!"

Lei Xiaopao: "Yes!"

Lei Xiaopao is very good at hidden weapons. He can shoot anything, even a date stone, into the earth wall ten feet away and embed it in it.

Meng Yong's idea was nothing new, Lei Xiaopao originally planned to do the same, but after all, it would hurt the eldest lady, so he always had to ask the master what he meant.

Now that Meng Yong had ordered so, Lei Xiaopao naturally would not have any worries.

He rushed to the back of the booth, pretending that the straps on his legs were loose and wanted to re-tie them. He squatted down and found Meng Yueyue's position between people's legs, and a small stone bounced out.

"Ah!" Meng Yueyue felt a tingling pain in the popliteal of his right leg, and his knee fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Mrs. Li hurried to help her, but the two of them just turned around, in the opposite direction of the flow of people, so they leaned forward to help their daughter, but they were hit by someone, and they hit her daughter instead.

"Oh!" Li exclaimed, and fell to the ground with her daughter.

The two fell together with great force, and it happened that the people next to them rushed forward anxiously, and pushed Xiaobao in front of Meng Yue.

Meng Yueyue was hit by his mother and fell straight towards Xiaobao.
