Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 254

The three of us played all the way to West Street, and stopped in front of an old house.Pointing to the closed door, Xiaoyou asked me, "Should it be here?" After looking around, I nodded and replied, "It should be here." Immediately, I took a few steps forward , knocked on the door lightly, and asked softly: "Is there anyone inside?" After a long while, the closed door opened from the inside, and a woman in coarse cotton clothes walked out, "Several knocking on the door for no reason, the so-called What's the matter?" I looked at the woman and asked softly: "Excuse me, is this a candied fruit shop?" The woman looked at the familiar young man in front of her, nodded slightly and said, "Are you here to buy candied fruit from the small shop? Seeing that she made no mistake, Xiao You hurriedly jumped out from the side, and interjected: "Yes, yes." The woman hurriedly said: "It's freezing outside, so let's talk first." "As he said, he stepped back and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.Seeing this, Xiaoyou nodded and strode into the house.

After entering the house, the woman pointed to the scattered oiled paper packages on the counter and said: "It's winter and everything is withering, so there are no new products in the store, only these few candied fruit made before winter. Although the variety is a bit limited, the taste is absolutely delicious. It’s not that I, Yunniang, boasted, but the candied fruit I made is the best in Ningwu Town.” Hearing her tone, I was still as confident as I was back then, and I smiled slightly: “If you don’t know The candied fruit you made, lady boss, is the best in Ningwu Town, so why would we come here to buy it. But lady boss, can you let us taste it first?" Yunniang hurriedly said, "Of course it's no problem. "Speaking a few steps, he came to the cabinet, opened the four paper bags on the cabinet one by one, and grabbed a handful of each.Then, I put the candied fruit on a piece of oil paper and handed it to us, "Will you please try it?" I picked up a kumquat candied fruit and put it in my mouth, and lightly bit the unique kumquat flavor. The sour taste exploded in my mouth instantly.Although the sour taste is very strong at first taste, as the teeth chew, the sweetness gradually emerges, and it is neutralized with the very strong sour taste.In the end, the sweetness will contain the sourness little by little until the sourness is completely dissipated, leaving only a slight lingering sweetness.

"Excellent, I didn't expect that after so many years, the taste of this candied fruit is still so mellow and sweet, and the craftsmanship of the proprietress is still the same as before!" As the candied fruit entered my stomach, I couldn't help but praise.When Yunniang heard this, she asked curiously: "Master, have you eaten Yunniang's candied fruit before?" After saying this, I realized that I had slipped my mouth.But since it has already been leaked, why bother to hide it, anyway, after so many years, she may not remember that I was just a passing passerby. "Yes." I nodded, "A few years ago, my family and I passed through Ningwu Town. Before we left, we bought a lot of candied fruit made by you. The taste is really good. This time I happened to pass by here, and I remembered the sweetness of the past. candied fruit, I found this by memory."

"Mom, Daddy and I are back." Just as he was speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and a child ran in with a hare in one hand.When the child saw Yunniang, he threw himself into her arms coquettishly.Yunniang raised her hand to gently stroke the child's head, and asked softly, "Chun'er, is it cold outside? Mother will bring you a bowl of hot porridge to warm you up." The child nodded when he heard this, and fell from Yunniang's arms. Li Song let go, and turned his head only to realize that there were three more people in the room at some point, and he had just seen them. "Why are you here? You didn't chase me to my house just because of a rabbit!" He said while hiding the rabbit in his hand behind his back.It turned out that the child who suddenly ran in and jumped into Yunniang's arms was the boy we met outside the town who was fighting for the hare with Xiaoyou.Unexpectedly, there are so many coincidences in this world, and this boy turned out to be Yunniang's son.

"Do you think I'm such a stingy person?" Xiaoyou retorted while chewing on the candied fruit: "Since the rabbit is given to you, you can get it. I won't chase you after a rabbit." Reluctant." As he spoke, he threw the last candied fruit in his hand into his mouth, and patted the crumbs that stuck to his palm.

"Chun'er, do you know this young master?" Yunniang heard that something was wrong, she hurriedly lowered her head and asked her son Chun'er.Seeing his mother asking him something, Chun'er nodded and said, "Just now I went to the forest outside the town to catch hares, and I saw them." Yunniang hurriedly pulled Chun'er over, checked her body carefully and asked: "It's not hurt." Chun'er waved her hand and said, "Of course not. Mother, don't worry, how can the rabbit be my opponent, I can knock the rabbit unconscious with one punch." As he said, he rushed at her Brighten up his little fist.When Yunniang saw the change in her face, she hurriedly said, "I told you not to shake your fist all the time, why didn't you listen." Seeing that her mother was a little angry, Chun'er quickly let go of her clenched fist, and said softly: " Mother, I will pay more attention and try not to shake my fist casually."

"Yunniang, is lunch ready? I'm starving to death." At this time, the door was pulled open from the outside again, and a strong and energetic man walked in. The man rushed to Yun as soon as he entered the room. Mother yelled.Yun Niang patted the man's shoulder, pointed at his back with her index finger and said softly: "The head of the house, there are guests here." The man was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Guest? What guest? Who doesn't stay at home this winter to hug his wife My child, what are you doing wandering around blindly." As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand and hugged Yunniang's waist intimately, without paying any attention to Yunniang's words.

"Ahem..." Although I really don't want to disturb the love between husband and wife, it's not good to behave in front of so many people, besides, there is such a foreigner as Jingyuan here.I had no choice but to cough lightly twice at an untimely moment, preventing the man from continuing his intimate movements.The man was taken aback by the sudden coughing, and when he looked back, he found that there were three more people in the house at some point, one of whom was a monk, and his old face flushed with embarrassment, and he stammered and asked: " Yunniang, he... who are they?" Yunniang said shyly: "I told you that there are guests at home, and you not only didn't believe me, but even fiddled with me in front of the guests. Wouldn't it be a joke if it got out? Dead." Saying that, Yun Niang lightly thumped the man's chest, and ran into the inner room with a blushing face.

"Hey..." After Yunniang ran into the inner room, the man scratched the short hair on his head in embarrassment, "I made some guest officials laugh at me." I heard this and said with a smile: "What's the big brother talking about. In this winter, it is naturally the most beautiful thing to hug your wife and children on the hot kang, but we seem to be here at a bad time." "Young master, I am even more embarrassed when you say that. By the way, a few You came to my house to buy candied fruit. It’s not that I, Apo, boast, but the candied fruit made by my Yunniang is the best.” Xiaoyou, who was on the side, laughed loudly when she heard it, “You are really a husband and wife, no matter how you say it, the words are the same. If we didn’t know that your candied fruit is delicious, we wouldn’t come here to buy it.” “Huh? This young man looks familiar, have you ever been to Ningwu Town before and eaten my candied fruit?” Abo looked at the person in front of him. A young man who looked familiar couldn't help asking curiously.Xiaoyou was taken aback when she heard the words, and said in disbelief: "No way, I only came here seven years ago, and you still remember me?"

"Seven years ago?" Apo murmured when he heard the words, and suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "Yes, I remembered. You seemed to be only this tall when you came, and when you saw my candied fruit, your saliva almost flowed out Already." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand on his waist and measured it. "You remember this? Even I can't remember it." Xiaoyou looked at me uncertainly, intending to get an answer from me, "Did I really drool at that time?" I smiled slightly nodded.Seeing me nodding, Xiaoyou murmured to herself in a low voice: "It seems that I have to get rid of this problem. I drool when I see food. It hurts my handsome image."

"Haha..." Chun'er, who had been standing at the side, happened to hear Xiaoyou's self-talk, pointed at Xiaoyou with her chubby little finger and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you to be so big." Haha..." Abo quickly reprimanded: "Chun'er, don't be rude, hurry up and apologize to this big brother." Although Chun'er really doesn't like this person in his heart, his father's words cannot He refused to listen, so he reluctantly bowed to Xiaoyou, and said in a voice comparable to that of a mosquito, "Chun'er knows his mistake." Then, he ran into the inner room, before entering the inner room, He even made a face at Xiaoyou.When Abo saw this, he immediately became furious. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have gone in, pulled Chun'er out and beat him up, and apologized to Xiaoyou again.

"I'm sorry, my son is young, I hope you will forgive me." Seeing his son like this, Abo had no choice but to stand up and admit his mistake for him as a father.Seeing this, I quickly waved my hand and said, "Brother, don't be so polite. A child is a child after all, just teach it slowly." "This child is very skinny, and he will only be honest if he is beaten up." Chun'er's behavior just now is obvious. It made Apo a little annoyed, and said aggressively. "Brother, don't say that. Doesn't it hurt you to hit him?" Seeing how angry he was, I hurriedly tried to persuade him.Abo shook his head and said, "Young master, you don't understand. Although it hurts my son, it hurts my father's heart. But as long as he does something wrong, I will definitely beat him up. As a parent, you always I think my children will be successful in the future, and now they are more aggressive and cruel to him, all for his own good. As the saying goes, strict fathers produce dutiful sons; loving mothers often fail children."

"Is that true? I have never beaten my two darlings." I whispered, "Why don't you beat them up when I get home?" "Why, the young master has already married?" Abo Hearing the words, he hurriedly said, "It seems that the son is not very old, and he is already a father. However, even though he said so, he can't beat the child casually without reason. Of course the child will be punished if he makes a mistake, but if he messes up without reason I'm afraid it's not appropriate to beat him up." "Would it be?" I asked puzzled, "There are so many details about punishing a child, why is it so difficult to be a father?"
