Across the Market

Chapter 37

Ma'er slowly walked all the way to the door of Zhu's blacksmith shop. Sister Nuan and brother Shou sat face to face on the threshold of their house to play, while Zhu Da and his eldest son Zhu Lu were lighting fire and blacksmithing in the shop.Brother Shou didn't find the ants, and his fair little face was obviously a little disappointed. Sister Nuan comforted her younger brother and said, "Brother Shou is the most obedient, let's stop looking for ants, okay? The second sister will be back later, we Let's wait for the second sister to come back together, okay?"

Brother Shou's eyes were bright, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the second sister sitting on the horse. He smiled with his small mouth crooked, and pointed with his little finger: "Second sister..."

Sister Nuan hurriedly turned her head to look, she was fine just now, but when she saw Zhu Fu, she suddenly cried "wow", and then chubby swayed to Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu jumped off the horse, hugged his sister and asked, "Sister Nuan, why are you crying? Do you miss your sister?"

Sister Nuan wrinkled her face, and nodded fiercely: "I can think about it, the eldest sister said that the second sister went to sell tofu with sister Yuzhu, and I will sit here and wait for the second sister to come home." Gently tugging at the corner of Zhu Fu's clothes, he raised his head and said, "Second sister, I have a very good boy at home, and some play with my younger brother."

Brother Shou also staggered over. Seeing that his younger brother was always thin and weak, Zhu Fu picked him up, kissed his fair face, and praised his younger sister: "Sister Nuan is also a big boy." Well, from now on, my brothers and sisters will be busy, so Nuan will take care of my younger brother."

Sister Nuan was very happy, patted her little meaty hand and said, "My brother loves to play with me."

Shen Yulou came over, bent down and hugged the chubby Nuan, and asked her with a smile: "Sister Nuan, do you still remember me?"

Sister Nuan has never seen such a beautiful big brother before. She stared at him with her big black eyes for a long time before shaking her head: "I don't know you, my mother told me, you can't let someone you don't know Hug yourself. However, I just saw you came back with the second sister and sister Yuzhu, so you are not a bad person, so I let you hug me." After she finished speaking, she laughed happily and pointed to the horse on the side Said, "Wow, what a big donkey."

Shen Yuzhu smiled and pinched Sister Nuan's face: "This is not a donkey, this is a horse, you little idiot."

Zhu Lu heard the movement inside and looked outside. When he saw Shen Yulou, he immediately put down the tools in his hand and strode out.

"Yulou?" Zhu Lu sized Shen Yulou up and down with dark eyes, and then smiled naively, "I heard from Aunt Shen that you won't be back until the twelfth lunar month, why did you go home early?"

Shen Yulou put Sister Nuan down, and said with a smile, "I got a horse, and I drove back day and night." Seeing Zhu Da coming out, he respectfully said, "Uncle Zhu."

Zhu Da stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and said with a smile, "Yulou is back? Go into the backyard and drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up. It's very cold today."

Shen Yulou said: "Thank you, Uncle Zhu, but I'm coming home now, I have to visit my mother first." Then he took out a few boxes of paper-wrapped snacks from the cloth bag hanging on the horse's back, Handed it to Sister Nuan and said, "Sister Nuan, take my brother to eat together."

Sister Nuan turned her head to look at her father, brother and sister. Seeing that they didn't speak, she happily reached out to take it, held it for a while, and then handed it to Brother Shou.

"Thank you, brother Yulou." The little girl was very clever, and quickly figured out the identity of the big brother in front of her.

Shen Yulou smiled and touched Sister Nuan's head, then asked Zhu Lu, "Ah Lu, I wonder if you have improved in your skills in the past three years? I will come to you later to discuss with you."

Zhu Lu rubbed his head and smiled naively: "I'm afraid I can't compare to you."
