'He's just a child' was the most ridiculous statement Yun Xi had ever heard.
Yun Yang was just a child too, was he not? It was clearly a failure of family education, but in the end, it all came down to a child's nature. After all, the education of this era was backward, and people were too ignorant.
After getting the stall owner to wrap a deep-fried dough stick with oil paper for Yun Lang, Chen Li turned around and asked her two children if they wanted to eat it.
Yun Xi had never been interested in such oily food. It was also because she had lived for so many years in her previous life that she had treated these deep-fried dough sticks as ordinary things. Therefore, she did not have much desire to eat them.
Yun Xi shook her head and replied to Chen Li.
Yun Yang also said, "No."
However, the attentive Yun Xi noticed that her younger brother had secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was afraid of spending money, so he did not dare to reveal his true feelings in front of his mother.
Yun Lang's kicking up a fuss had really wasted a lot of time. Coincidentally, Yun Xi had the chance to mail the letter alone.
"Mom, you can go and buy the insoles for Dad first. I'll help Grandpa mail these items to Old Master Zhou."
When Chen Li heard this, she took out some money from her bag and asked Yun Xi to buy stamps. After all, postage stamps were necessary to mail things at this time.
Yun Xi and her mother split, one heading east and the other heading west. Originally, the thoughtful Yun Yang wanted to follow his sister. However, Yun Xi was afraid that his mother alone would not be able to handle Yun Lang, so she told him to follow his mother.
Not many people came to the post office to mail letters, so Yun Xi had completed all the formalities in a short while. In addition to mailing Zhou Lin a hair bracelet that she had personally woven, she wrote a letter to Zhou Lin. Of course, the package contained some ointment and painkillers to treat his leg injury.
In fact, Yun Xi did not realize that she had completed more than what the mission required in the space. She subconsciously began to miss the man whom she had only met once. The tall, study, heroic figure crossed her mind.
Yun Xi hurriedly completed the task and went to look for her mother, younger brother, and cousin. However, she heard a familiar cry again after moving a few steps.
When she took a closer look, it turned out that Yun Lang had started to do the same trick again. He sat on the ground and acted shamelessly, asking Chen Li to buy peanut brittle for him. However, Chen Li did not bring much money today. After buying the sweet potatoes for Old Master Zhou, she bought a fried dough stick for Yun Lang. After buying the insoles for Yun Shan, the remaining money was only enough for them to pay their fare to go home.
However, Yun Lang did not care about that. He had been spoiled by Liu Fang since he was young, so he had to get what he wanted. Otherwise, he would start making a scene by sitting on the ground and throwing tantrums.
"Well..."
More and more people gathered around to watch the show. Chen Li did not know what to do.
Yun Yang was pulling Yun Lang by the side. However, how could a small and thin boy pull a fatty? After tugging at him for a while, Yun Yang sat down on the spot, exhausted. Yun Lang was extremely heavy. He was not tall but as fat as a pig.
"Yun Yang, come over."
As soon as Yun Xi went over, she called her little brother over and gave him a look, "I'll deal with him."
Yun Yang, of course, trusted his sister very much. He stood up from the ground and walked over to Yun Xi's side.
"Sister."
"It's alright. I'm here."
Yun Xi patted Yun Yang's head.
"Yun Lang, get up. Come home with me."
Yun Lang was suddenly intimidated by his elder cousin's imposing manner. He sniffled and fixed his eyes on Yun Xi.
However, when he saw the peanut brittle that he had always wanted, the fear in his eyes faded. He began to roll around again.
"I won't... unless you buy me some peanut brittle.
"I won't get up!"
Yun Lang emphasized the last sentence.
"Are you getting up? I'm going to count from three. If you don't get up, I'll leave.
"Three!
"Two!
"One!"
There was a hint of hesitation in Yun Lang's eyes. Even so, he could not bear to part with the peanut brittle. He still did not move a muscle.
"Yun Yang, Mom, let's go."
"But..."
Chen Li was a little hesitant, thinking that this was not a good idea.
Yun Xi patted Chen Li's arm, indicating that she should just walk forward.
After walking for about half a block, Yun Lang, who was sitting on the ground, started to panic. Although he was willful, he was not stupid. When he saw that no one really cared about him, he immediately stood up from the ground and followed Yun Xi and the others.
However, the little boy who had been pampered since young was prideful. After following them, he even snorted coldly.
However, his tight grip on Yun Xi's clothes clearly showed his fear.
Looking at the little chubby hands on her clothes, Yun Xi found Yun Lang rather cute at that point.
