Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 214

Aunt Yu was furious.

It was just a coincidence that she was holding the pumpkin angrily and had not walked far when she ran into An Xi who was patrolling the streets with a few detectives.

Aunt Yu was not very familiar with her, but they had met before, just like the three father-in-laws' families, and they were barely familiar with each other.

After all, the children often went there and ate and used other people's food on weekdays, so during festivals, she would buy some things and make some cakes as gifts, and either ask the children to send them over, or she would carry them over herself. It was not surprising to see the young lady of the other family once or twice when she went to their house.

Another reason is that the child and she are in a master-servant relationship, and if they have servants at home, they also have to pay taxes to the government office.

An Xi was a government official, so it wasn't surprising that he had seen him before.

Occasionally we meet on the street. We may not be very close, but at least we will nod and say hello when we see each other.

However, Aunt Yu also knew that her identity was that of a servant, and she would not easily approach and talk to others unless there was anything wrong, for fear of annoying them.

Second, there are other reasons.

As the saying goes, there is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

The gatekeeper in a prestigious family is superior to others, not to mention that his father is an official of high rank in the palace.

Whenever Aunt Yu met someone, she would squat and greet them. She didn't think it was a big deal, but the children always called her "Auntie" and "Sister" and treated her like an elder at home. If they listened to her, she, the "elder", would always bow and nod in front of others. It might be okay once or twice, but the children would definitely feel uncomfortable after a long time.

They feel that they are inferior to them. Although it is true, which elder would like their children to think that way? They are not cheap.

It is true that Aunt Yu wants her child to associate with them more often to get some benefits, and it is also true that she does not want her to be servile.

Because of this, she couldn't often show up in front of these people, at least not in front of children.

Fortunately, the child was not around at the moment, so she walked forward with the cat in her arms, knelt down, and greeted, "Hello, Captain An."

The other person answered and asked her about the lost pot. He then asked her in a nice voice if she could help find the thief if she was free.

Captain An Xi is truly dedicated to serving the people.

After hearing what she said, I immediately followed her to investigate the scene, that is, I went to the child's kitchen to take a look.

Walked around again.

We quickly found the place where the child had hidden the pot that morning. The ashes from the bottom of the pot were still on the ground. Even if we buried it, it would take a while to clean it.

After asking around, he could always find some people who got up early. The child was running with the pot on his back without carrying anyone on his back. It was very impressive. It was difficult for everyone to pretend not to see it. After listening to some random guesses from everyone, An Xi followed the clues and found his own home.

When I learned that a child came to my house to ask for firecrackers, I felt extremely uneasy.

Aunt Yu was also anxious: "What is she going to do?"

An Xi: "Maybe she wanted to use firecrackers to blow up the pot and hear the noise, but it's not Chinese New Year yet, why did she want to play with this?"

An Xi had done this kind of thing when she was a child, but she blew up a vase, which was not very sturdy. After playing with it once, she almost got herself killed. Fortunately, she ran fast and wore thick clothes, otherwise the porcelain pieces would have blown her through.

When I was a child, I didn’t feel afraid. I just felt that it was loud and exciting. Even after being beaten, I was still quite unwilling to accept it. I was eager to try it again until I injured myself.

It wasn't until I grew up and saw others playing that I realized how stupid it was.

Broken bowls, cesspools, pig pens, those unlucky kids just blew them up with firecrackers without thinking. They don’t know how many lives they have left to dare to cause such harm.

An Xi was thinking about making firecrackers at that time. She felt that the firecrackers at the market were not very safe, so she thought about it for a long time and wanted to make some firecrackers that were both safe and loud. But in the end, she found that the problem might not be with the firecrackers, but with people.

But people can't be controlled, so we have to work on firecrackers. With more beautiful fireworks, those unfortunate children may not miss firecrackers anymore...

Let’s not talk about these for now.

Let’s talk about the children again.

The child was indeed an unlucky one, but she cherished her life. Ever since she saw An Xi's miserable appearance when she was blown up while trying to figure out firecrackers, she had to hide whenever she saw firecrackers.

During the Chinese New Year, she had no interest in the children running and jumping in the streets, picking up the unexploded firecrackers among the scraps of red paper.

Why do you suddenly want to play this?

Is she so obedient just to have a big one?

An Xi: It’s not impossible.

She was still pondering it in her mind when Aunt Yu yelled weakly, "The pot is ruined!"

She was originally worried about the safety of her child, but she was too panicked and started to worry as soon as she opened her mouth.

It doesn’t matter what you say, the important thing is to find someone to go.

If she delayed any longer, she would get angry. When she thought of her setting off firecrackers and making a fuss in the palace... An Xi felt dizzy.

Don't do this, especially not in the kitchen. Sparks may fly and set the house on fire, scaring the masters. How many lives does she have left to play around like this?

What's more, those firecrackers are defective and could kill people...

You can’t think about it. You can’t think about this kind of thing.

An Xi was scared if she thought too much.

The child was holding the firecrackers she made. If something happened, her master wouldn't care who did it, and her father would be in trouble.

An Xi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists: Don’t let me catch this naughty child, or I will beat her to death!

An Xi, filled with anger, and Aunt Yu, who was extremely anxious, went to the palace to look for someone, but they were destined to find nothing.

At this moment, the child has returned to the mountains and is standing in front of the gurgling stream.

Looking at the sky, the trees, the mountains, and the water, the child suddenly felt an urge in her heart. She put down the pot and the backpack, then concentrated her mind, took a horse stance, and put her hand to her mouth:

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!"

“It’s the mountain wow wow!!!!!!!!!”

The child clapped his lips and made monkey noises.

Coo! Chirp! Chirp! Aww!

The unbridled howling startled the birds and beasts in the distant mountains and forests.

The toad jumped into the water, the bird fluttered into the sky, the jackals, tigers and leopards also howled, and the monkey was also in a good mood.

Everyone was very angry and cursed very dirty.

The child didn't take it seriously and scratched his head, saying, "Everyone is so welcoming, aren't they?"

When she was yelling in the mountains before, no one paid any attention to her. The big-tailed moles and frightened birds were too lazy to pay attention to her.

Child: ...

"Did you imitate monkey calls before?"

"Not really." She just spoke from her feelings, and always felt that it would be a pity not to say something in this situation.

If she hadn't had other things to do, she would have even wanted to climb up the tree and swing from it.

The child glanced at her and said, "Aren't you afraid of heights? Why are you trying to imitate a monkey?"

The child waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "The tree isn't that tall."

It's not like flying, floating in the air, what's so scary about that.
