Chapter 23 Missed
"Sister, what should I do, there is no water." Xu Zhicheng looked anxious.

How much less money does this have to make.

Xu Niannian also felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do, the water was sold out, and he only hoped that Zhiqiang would come back quickly, but there were at least two hours to wait for him to come back.

It's been over an hour.

Then someone came to ask again, and Xu Niannian said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, it's sold out, I'll ask my brother to go back and get water, and he can come over to buy it in two hours."

People just want to come to buy water to drink because their mouth is dry. Who can wait for two hours.

But there are no more, and there is no other way, so I have to buy fruit and make do with it.

Selling fruits in this weather, the fruits are a little hot in the sun, which can quench thirst for a while, but it can't last long, and it doesn't relieve fever.

Not at all comfortable drinking ice water.

Many people came to ask questions one after another, but Xu Niannian dismissed them with the same set of excuses.

Looking at the disappointed crowd leaving, just like seeing banknotes flying away from his pocket, Xu Niannian felt very sad.

Xu Zhicheng was also very distressed, and couldn't help asking: "Sister, how long will it be before you come back?"

"I don't know, wait a little longer."

Many Yu sat obediently in the back until his stomach made a gurgling sound.

The little man buried his face in embarrassment.

Xu Niannian slapped her head, damn it, she was busy selling water, she forgot she hadn't bought something for her brothers yet.

Xu Niannian took out one yuan and fifty cents and handed it to Xu Zhicheng: "Zhicheng, go to the street and buy some meat buns."

It was the first time for Xu Zhicheng to take so much money, and he was afraid that he would lose it, so he clenched his little hands tightly. Hearing Xu Niannian talking about buying meat buns, his face flushed with excitement: "Yeah."

When Xu Zhicheng left, Xu Niannian took Duo Yu over and hugged him, pinching his fleshy little face, Xu Niannian smiled happily.

Duo Yu is not so afraid of Xu Niannian anymore, being hugged by Xu Niannian, his two little hands wrapped around Xu Niannian's neck obediently, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, shall we eat meat buns later?"

"Well, don't you like to eat meat buns?"

Hearing Xu Niannian's affirmative answer, Duo Yu nodded heavily: "I like it."

Those are meat buns, how could you not like to eat them.

After a while, Xu Zhicheng came back with several big buns in his hand.

Steamed buns cost twenty-five cents, which was very valuable. One yuan and five bought six big meat buns.

There are more meat buns sold now than in later generations, almost the size of a bowl, and there is a lot of meat inside.

Xu Niannian didn't expect the steamed stuffed bun to be so big.

One was given to Xu Zhicheng and Duo Yuyi.

Many Yu Xiaoxiao held big buns in their hands, some couldn't hold them, and the key was still hot.

Xu Zhicheng switched hands from side to side when he was scalded, and Duo Yu acted as if he was not afraid of the heat, holding the bun tightly with his small hands, afraid that if he was not careful, the bun would fall to the ground.

Xu Niannian saw that his little hands were red from the heat, so he simply put his steamed stuffed bun back into the bag, and took a lot of extra steamed stuffed buns: "Come on, sister feed you."

A lot of eyes stared at the steamed stuffed bun, Xu Niannian didn't cry when it was taken away, and said softly, "Sister, eat."

After saying this, the little man's face turned red, he was so cute, Xu Niannian couldn't help but grabbed many Yu and kissed him.

Many Yu was almost frightened, because Xu Niannian used to like to bite him, he thought that the sister who used to beat him was back again.

His little body tensed up.

The expected pain did not come, and the soft touch was on the face, Duo Yu was obviously stunned, staring at Xu Niannian stupidly.

My sister didn't bite him!

And kissed him.

Duo Yu immediately put his head in Xu Niannian's arms shyly.

Xu Niannian grabbed the steamed stuffed bun, and gently fed it to Many Yu's mouth. The little guy has a small mouth and a big stomach, so he ate it in small bites, and suddenly ate a whole big meaty bun.

Xu Zhicheng had already finished eating the meat buns in his hands, his face was flushed red, and his mouth was still glistening.

Couldn't help but licked his lips, Xu Niannian saw him and asked him if he was still hungry, and if he was hungry, he would eat another one.

Xu Zhicheng raised his head excitedly: "Sister, can I still eat?"

Xu Niannian smiled: "Whatever you said, of course."

Then Xu Zhicheng ate another big steamed stuffed bun, and Duo Yu wanted to eat it, but Xu Niannian didn't give it to him, and his stomach was already bulging.

Children have never eaten meat buns, they only know that they are greedy, and they don't know how full they are.

On the way, several people came to ask if there was any water, but Xu Niannian said no.

After a while, Xu Niannian finally saw Xu Zhiqiang coming back pushing the bullock cart.

Xu Zhiqiang's face was covered with sweat as he walked too quickly. Xu Niannian took a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Wipe off the sweat."

Xu Zhiqiang took it without thinking too much, and after wiping it, he remembered that the handkerchief belonged to Xu Niannian, and felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, his sister hated him the most, not to mention giving him the handkerchief she cherished, even if it was thrown away, she might not be willing to touch it for him.

"Thank you, sister." Xu Zhiqiang found that his elder sister was really different from before.

But this difference made him feel good.

"Haven't eaten yet, Zhicheng, take a bun for brother to eat."

"Hey, good." Xu Zhicheng readily agreed.

He had wanted to give his elder brother meat buns before, but the buns were bought with the money earned by his sister, and he didn't dare to make any claims since she didn't say anything.

Xu Zhiqiang ate the expensive and rare meat buns, his eyes were hot, fearing that Xu Zhicheng would not be able to hold the ice cubes, Xu Niannian asked Xu Zhiqiang to walk while eating to get the ice cubes back.

Those who came to watch the game, some went back halfway, and some just came here not long ago.

Many people who had been playing since morning saw that Xu Niannian brought several barrels of sugar water here, and hurried over to buy water to drink, they were dying of thirst.

The water in the bucket was still warm, Xu Niannian said embarrassedly: "Brothers, I'm really sorry, the water isn't cold yet, it's a bit hot."

This young man has been waiting for a long time, just waiting to quench his thirst, his throat is almost smoking, and he doesn't care if it is hot or not.

"It's okay, make me a drink."

Since they didn't mind, Xu Niannian didn't have any reason to dislike the money, so he quickly asked Xu Zhicheng to fetch a glass of water for the young man.

The young man drank three glasses of water in a row, and Xu Niannian charged him twenty-four cents.

Xu Zhiqiang also came back, holding several large ice cubes in his hand.

Xu Niannian quickly put the ice cubes into the bucket.

After about 10 minutes, the sugar water becomes ice cold.

When the water was still cold, several people came to buy it.

One afternoon, a lot of people came again, but they were not as many as at noon, but there were still quite a few.

Xu Zhicheng washed the cups, Xu Zhiqiang was in charge of fetching water, and Xu Niannian was in charge of collecting the change.

The water was sold out almost when the sun was about to set, and it took an hour to walk from the town to the house, and it was probably dark when we got home, so Xu Niannian didn't dare to stay longer.

Take a few younger brothers and hurry back.

When passing by the town in a hurry, a dark green jeep drove by. There was only one car on the whole street, so Xu Niannian couldn't help but take another look.

A very ordinary driver, and no one else in the car.

Xu Niannian looked away, just as Jin Yu in the back seat of the car straightened up and said, "Did you find the person I mentioned?"
