Chapter 120 Repaying virtue with resentment
Xu Xinger rubbed Taoer's head, pulled her out from behind and said, "How does the elder sister usually teach you? What should you say at this time?
Taoer bit her lip, and then rubbed her toes and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaozhu, but I already have one. You can keep it for yourself. Don't give it to me."
Xiaozhu said generously, "Take both of them. One is for fun, and the other is planted in the yard. Maybe peach trees can grow!"
"Can peach trees really grow?" Taoer looked up at him and showed a little doubt, "Is it okay to throw the peach core in the yard?
"Try it. Maybe it can grow!" Xiaozhu stuffed the peach core into the peach's hand. "The cherry stone I ate last year was thrown in the backyard. This year, a lot of seedlings appeared. My sister said that it was a cherry tree, and in two years, I will be able to bear cherries."
"Is it?" Taoer recalled the taste of peach just now, full of longing, and carefully put the two peach cores into her purse. "If peaches can really grow, I will let my elder sister bring them to you to eat."
The two children soon found a common topic and got together to discuss it in a low voice.
Because the time of shopping is not short, I'm afraid that the two little ones will be too tired after walking for a long time, so a few people simply rest by the river and look at the lanterns in the river by the way.
Shanzi touched the things in his arms and thought about what opportunity he should give to Xu Xinger. Looking at Rong Haoxuan, he became more and more unhappy.
Rong Haoxuan unconsciously still pestered Xu Xinger with great interest, hoping to show off everything he knew.
"Fire fruit, crispy and fragrant hearth fruit, newly baked fruit~" An old man pushed the cart and walked slowly along the roadside while shouting. From time to time, he stopped because someone bought the fruit.
The stove fruit is a snack made of oil and sugar noodles, and because it is just baked, it has a special sweet taste. As the night wind blows away, many children around them are greedy.
Xixin saw Rong Haoxuan wincing at himself, and immediately ran to buy the fruit with great grimness. Soon, he came back with two paper bags, one handed it to Xu Xinger, and then hesitated and stuffed the other bag into Xiaomei's hand.
Xu Xinger held the fruit and asked Rong Haoxuan speechlessly, "Didn't you have dinner?"
"..." Rong Haoxuan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his stomach, as if... he really didn't have dinner.
Hearing his stomach purring at the right time, Xu Xinger couldn't help laughing and handed him the fruit and said, "Are you stupid? I don't know whether I had dinner or not. I had to be hungry before I remembered. Let's eat some fruit to cushion my stomach first. Then he said to Xixin, "Let's see if there are any porridge or soup sellers nearby. Buy some thin ones for your young master to eat, otherwise it will be too dry to eat just the fruit."
Hearing that Xu Xinger cared about herself so much, Rong Haoxuan grinned, grabbed a few fruits and stuffed them into his mouth. Sure enough, he was choked and coughed, insisted on swallowing it, and was choked and stretched out his neck.
Fortunately, Xixin quickly came back with a bowl of wonton and quickly let Rong Haoxuan drink a few mouthfuls of chaotic soup, which was regarded as swallowing what was in his mouth.
He ate a hearth fruit and ate the wonton three times. Then Rong Haoxuan filled his stomach and wiped his hands with a veil. He found that the oil of the hearth fruit stuck to his hand, and it was slippery and could not be wiped clean at all. Seeing that Xu Xinger was washing his hands for Taoer by the river, he also came over to flirt with him. Water.
Shanzi was originally standing under a tree not far away, and suddenly saw two familiar figures walking in the direction of Xu Xinger. He quickly followed him.
Taoer also ate a few pieces of fruit just now, which made her mouth full of oil. Xu Xinger took her to the river to wash her hands. She felt that she was hit by someone behind and fell into the river.
She grabbed the grass on the shore and tried to stabilize her body, but saw Taoer also fall into the water. In panic, she grabbed Taoer and threw her to the shore. She could no longer maintain balance due to the reaction.
Xu Xinger can't swim at all, and now she doesn't have time to think too much. Take a deep breath and be prepared to fall into the water.
Shanzi rushed over and grabbed Xu Xinger's arm and pulled her back to the shore.
Xu Xinger was thin and light. She was directly pulled up and rushed into the mountain's arms. She was hitting something on his chest, and both of them were screaming in pain.
"Plop!"
The sound of heavy objects falling into the water behind her, Xu Xinger was shocked and quickly turned her head and shouted, "Tao'er? Taoer, are you all right?
Xixin pounced on the shore, stretched out his arm and shouted, "Young master, young master, you grab the small hand and pull you up..."
Shanzi went to help pull Rong Haoxuan up from the river. Xu Xinger hugged Taoer and looked around in shock. Seeing two family-like people, she escorted the two little boy over, presumably she had been quietly following Rong Haoxuan's servants.
"It's you!" After Xu Xinger saw their appearance, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyebrows were about to stand up. "Now I understand what it means to be good at being bullied. At the beginning, I let you go for a moment, but it turned out that you were good. You didn't say anything but also repay kindness with resentment. It's not a thing!"
Rong Haoxuan climbed to the shore soaked. He couldn't swim and fell into the water defenselessly, so he choked two mouthfuls of water and fluttered for a long time to grab Xixin's hand. Finally, he was dragged up by Xixin and Shanzi.
Hearing Xu Xinger's words, Rong Haoxuan coughed and asked, "Why, do you know these two people?"
Xu Xinger talked about the matter, and then looked at the two people angrily and asked, "I didn't embarrass you at the beginning. Why do you have to be so angry? Now you still have such a black hand behind your back?"
She walked to the older man and poked his forehead and said angrily, "At least you are also a brother. Can't you compare your heart? It's okay if you have something to come to me. Just now, my sister almost fell into the river. She is so young and doesn't know how to water. What if she really falls into it? Do you know that protecting your own brother, other people's children deserve bad luck to let you steal you?
"I..." The teenager was speechless for a moment, but soon gritted his teeth and said, "That day, I did have a crooked heart to steal your back basket. I and I didn't want to do anything. I just want my brother to eat better. I was very grateful that you let us go at that time. I followed you to thank you. But... Later, I found that you were just doing superficial work. Those people behind your back have been crowding out our brothers. We couldn't find any work to do in Qijing Hutong, and finally you were kicked out of your residence. If it weren't for you..."
Xu Xinger couldn't listen any more. She slapped him in the face and said, "Qijing Hutong is originally Master Han's territory. Whether you do something or anything, you have to visit the dock first. If you make a living honestly, Master Han may not care about you if you are a child. You don't know the rules, but you are not only restless, but also behave yourself. On that day, Brother Kun was also in a noodle restaurant. He saw it all. We pleaded for you at that time. You didn't know how to face it afterwards. You changed your own place with your tail between your tail. Instead, you still swaying under other people's eyes. If it was it, you could see it. Go? It's already light to just get you out."
The family asked Rong Haoxuan, "Young master, how to deal with these two people?"
The accumulated water in Rong Haoxuan's trachea has basically coughed up and waved his hand and said, "What should I do? Send them to the government. It's time for them to remember."
As soon as he heard that he was going to be sent to the government, the teenager suddenly panicked. Although he had just shrugged his neck and looked careless, he thought he had been beaten at most, and he didn't expect that he would be sent to the government.
He is not afraid of being beaten, but the government is an unknown fear for him, and there is also a younger brother... Thinking of this, he knelt down to Rong Haoxuan and begged, "Young master, I know it's wrong. For the sake of me and my younger brother, I'm just confused for a moment. I..."
"You don't act here. If you really have your brother in your heart, you won't always do this kind of sneaky thing. Don't you think about how bad these things will have on your brother?" When she saw him kneeling for the first time, Xu Xing'er was full of intolerance, but now when she saw it again, she had no feeling at all. No wonder Brother Kun said that she was too soft-hearted that day and would suffer losses sooner or later. Now she has suffered this loss.
As long as Xu Xinger thought that Taoer almost fell into the water, her heart was as hard as a stone and said coldly, "I am also a poor child. I go to the mountain to collect medicine and vegetables, and go to the city to sell pickles every day, just to make more money to support the family, so I can take my sister out at ease, because I know I will do it for her. It's a good example, not like you, using other people's sympathy for your brother as a reason and excuse for you not learning well.
"You are much older than me. If you really want to find something to do, you can completely support yourself and your brother, but your mind is not used at all on the right path, and you have to make a look of how pitiful you are and why you can't get help and sympathy. Why?"
Xu Xinger couldn't stop training. If she was not tall enough, she poked the teenager's chest with her hand and continued: "There are many people who suffer more than your life, but not everyone goes to steal things and do bad things. You are not convinced when you look at those who live better than you, but you never think about how much effort others have done more than you. . A bad life is not a reason, and a lack of money is not an excuse. It should give you a lesson so that you can understand that people should be responsible for their actions, not take other people's sympathy for you again and again as a fluke!"
"Papa!"
"Xing'er is so right!" Rong Haoxuan clapped his hands hard and then ordered to the family, "Why don't you send people to the government quickly!"
Xu Xinger saw that his clothes were all soaked and clinging to his body, the purse and fan covers around his waist were also wet, and there were fragments of other people's lanterns hanging on his hair... He tried to pose hard, and then made a loud face the night wind. Sneeze...
"Go home quickly, change your wet clothes, boil some ginger soup and drink it hot. Although it's summer, it's night. It's very cold in the water. After you come out, it's windy again. Be careful not to suffer from the cold." Xu Xinger couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded Rong Haoxuan to go home quickly.
Xixin was also scared today and broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that Rong Haoxuan was rescued, his heart was slightly put back in place. Looking at his wet appearance, he had long wanted to persuade him to go home quickly, but he did not dare to speak on his own.
At this time, when I heard Xu Xinger's words, I couldn't agree more. I even nodded and echoed, "Master, you see, Miss Xu has said so. If you are really sick, wouldn't it make Miss Xu feel uncomfortable? If you have also walked around the street, the lights have been seen, and people have been arrested and sent to the government, let's go home quickly!"
Rong Haoxuan originally wanted to show off, but before he opened his mouth and said anything, it was another loud sneeze. Now he couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to rub his sore nose and reluctantly sit in the sedan chair called by Xixin.
