Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

Chapter 18 What is the night? Selling game

Meng Huaishao was very grateful and took Ye Yaoyao to sit among the women.

As the ox cart started moving, the women stopped teasing their babies and started discussing what they were going to buy in town later.

With no one teasing her, Ye Yaoyao felt relaxed and happy.

However, Ye Yaoyao did not expect that she was not used to the slow speed of the ox cart and felt dizzy from the shaking.

Fortunately, this time I was not put in a backpack, but wrapped in a warm embrace, and I fell asleep in a daze.

"Yaoyao, we're here!"

In the haze, Ye Yaoyao felt a gentle call in her ear.

She opened her eyes and blinked, her big round eyes were wet.

She stared at the handsome face of the boy, feeling as if she didn't know what day it was.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

Meng Huaishao pinched her chubby cheeks.

Ye Yaoyao shook her head and forced a smile.

"Yah~"

She just suddenly dreamed of her past life. She had just escaped from the busy life of senior high school and was looking forward to the future...

Unfortunately, my dream of going to college has not come true, and I probably won’t have the chance to do so in this lifetime.

The only consolation is that she has one more relative.

The baby kicked his legs and put his chubby arms around Meng Huaishao's neck, almost...

Seeing this, Meng Huaishao lifted the person up and finally hugged the baby.

Ye Yaoyao lay on the boy’s chest. Maybe it wasn’t very broad, but it brought her warmth and was her safe haven.

The sudden sadness made her eyes wet involuntarily.

Seeing the baby's behavior, Meng Huaishao thought she was still asleep, so he patted her on the back and said, "Sleep a little longer if you feel sleepy. I'll call you later."

"Well."

Ye Yaoyao didn't look up, which was considered as her agreement.

Meng Huaishao was carrying a baby in front of him and a basket filled with pheasants and rabbits on his back.

He followed his memory and came to Yuelai Restaurant.

Meng Huaishao had come here several times with his father, always to deliver game.

"Xiao Meng?" The waiter who was wiping the table saw Meng Huaishao and hurried over to greet him, "Why are you here?"

"Uncle An." Meng Huaishao called him politely.

Uncle An’s real name is Niu An. He is also from a small mountain village and works in Yuelai Restaurant.

Because Meng's father often came to Yuelai Restaurant to deliver prey, the two were familiar with each other and were also very close to Meng Huaishao.

"I dug some traps in the back hills a few days ago and caught a rabbit and a pheasant. I was wondering if they'll be accepted here?"

"Of course I do." Niu An was a little surprised, but still nodded, "The shopkeeper has been complaining about not having enough game these days!"

Seeing Meng Huaishao was about to put down the backpack, Niu An helped to take it.

The backpack contained a hare and two pheasants, which was still very light for an adult.

Niu An took a look at the prey in the basket and said with a smile, "They are still alive. I'll go find the shopkeeper to take a look."

Meng Huaishao nodded, watched Niu An run into the back hall, and embraced the baby in his arms.

After all, he was just an eight-year-old child. It was his first time to sell goods alone. He felt a little nervous, but he could only pretend to be calm.

The shopkeeper came out soon, followed by Niu An.

"Shopkeeper Zheng." Meng Huaishao took the initiative to greet him.

"Xiao Meng? I heard from Niu An that you hunted some prey, not bad!" The shopkeeper was in his forties or fifties, and smiled amiably.

The rich people in the town are used to eating wild delicacies and prefer game. Therefore, Yuelai Restaurant collects game all year round and is familiar with the nearby hunters.

He also heard about what happened in Meng Huaishao's family and felt very sad when comparing them.

"I'm just lucky." Meng Huaishao pointed at the backpack and said, "Manager Zheng, take a look."

Shopkeeper Zheng looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the hare and pheasant were both tied up, curled up in a ball, but still very energetic.

"Not bad." Shopkeeper Zheng nodded. "Should we keep the same price as before?"

"Okay." Meng Huaishao said it was no problem.

Niu An took it to the kitchen to be weighed, and came back to tell the two: "A total of 10 pounds and 2 ounces."

Shopkeeper Zheng calculated that ten catties and two ounces should cost one hundred and fifty-three coins, so he smiled and said, "I'll make it an even number for you, one hundred and sixty coins. I'll pay you back next time you have more."

"Thank you very much, Manager Zheng!" Meng Huaishao bowed.

After hearing that the deal was done, Ye Yaoyao pulled at the strap with her hands and looked outside through the gap with her round eyes.

Meng Huaishao noticed the movement in his arms and patted the baby soothingly.

Thinking that it was getting late, Yaoyao would be hungry, so he asked Shopkeeper Zheng: "Shopkeeper Zheng, may I borrow a bowl of hot water?"

"Of course there is." Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and counted out the copper coins to him, then called Niu An over: "Niu An, pour a bowl of hot water for Xiao Meng!"

"Okay!"

Niu An moved quickly and brought a bowl of hot water with a porcelain spoon in it, obviously because he had discovered the baby.

After Meng Huaishao put away the copper coins, he took the hot water and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Uncle An!"

"What are you saying this for!"

Niu An smiled brightly, and when he heard someone calling him, he hurried to entertain the guests. But Shopkeeper Zheng had nothing to do, and he looked at the little person in Meng Huaishao's arms with a smile.

Ye Yaoyao grinned at him.

"This baby has such a cute smile!"

When Shopkeeper Zheng looked at Ye Yaoyao, he thought of his own grandson, who, apart from being a little noisy, was also so lovable.

Hearing Manager Zheng praising the baby, Meng Huaishao felt proud and couldn't help but straighten his chest.

"Of course, my Yaoyao is the most beautiful girl in the world!"

He thought so in his heart, but said politely: "Indeed, Yaoyao is pretty."

Ye Yaoyao: “…”

"Haha!" Shopkeeper Zheng originally thought that Meng Huaishao would be more humble, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He couldn't help but feel a little happier.

"There are still empty tables inside, please come sit inside."

Seeing Meng Huaishao taking out a small bag of fried flour and preparing to add water, Manager Zheng pointed to the lobby. It was not yet time for lunch, so there were not many people around.

"Thank you very much, Manager Zheng." Meng Huaishao was not pretentious. Having tables and chairs was indeed much more convenient.

"Call me Uncle Zheng!" Shopkeeper Zheng said with a smile. It was a rare opportunity to meet two interesting kids, so he was happy to get closer to them.

Meng Huaishao found a place in the corner, prepared the fried flour paste, and then put the baby down.

"Yaoyao, it's time to eat, ah~"

"Yah~"

Ye Yaoyao was very cooperative and started eating with a "smacking" sound as she opened her mouth.

Because the taste was so sweet, it attracted the attention of people around.

"Bah~"

The baby took another delicious bite, his big round eyes narrowed with smile, and he grinned at the people who looked over.

"This doll is so pretty!"

"Yes, just like a fairy!"

"..."

"He's white and plump, and looks really good!"

Ye Yaoyao was happily listening to people praising her, but suddenly she heard someone say that she was fat, and her eyes widened immediately.

Seeing her like this, Meng Huaishao laughed.

"Come here, Yaoyao, eat first, and then I'll take you shopping."

"ah!"

Hearing about shopping, Ye Yaoyao immediately became obedient and worked hard to eat.
