Chapter 1182: A Young Boy's Journey to Find Happiness (Extra Chapter)

In the early autumn morning, the sky was slightly brightening up.

Su Tang, wearing a rough brown short robe, held his sister's hand and walked on the streets of Jinling City.

At dawn, it was the busiest time for the small vendors. They hurriedly occupied their stalls and displayed their goods, each shouting and selling.

Su Tang found an empty stall and happily placed down his bamboo fish basket. "

After selling the fish, I'll buy some candy for Little Wine to eat!"

The four-year-old little girl tied two small buns and patched her worn-out little jacket. Due to its poor fit, the sleeve cuffs rolled up three or four times, barely revealing her small fist clenched inside.

She was born with beautiful jade-like eyes, round and sparkling. When she saw people passing by and smiling at her, she would also reveal sweet dimples, which was very endearing.

Su Tang's fish were caught at dawn, very fresh. Combined with the siblings being likable, they sold most of it in no time.

苏酒嗅了嗅小鼻子,望向远处的包子摊位。

刚蒸熟的大肉包子,揭开蒸屉的刹那,香味儿扑鼻。

她咽了咽口水,抬起小手指过去:“哥哥,想吃包包……”

Sutang caressed her head, lowered her head to count the copper coins she earned from selling fish, and gently smiled, "Let's go, let's buy some steamed buns!"

Holding onto Sujiu, he arrived at the steamed bun stall, and the owner shouted, "Big meat bun, five copper coins each, red bean bun, three copper coins each!"

Su Tang asked, "What filling do small buns eat?"

Su Jiu bit her little lips and looked reluctantly at the big meat bun. She whispered, "Red bean paste filling..."

拿到大包子,她犹豫片刻,小心翼翼掰开一半,递到苏堂嘴边,“哥哥吃……”

Su Tang took a bite, with a silly smile on his face, and said, "It's delicious!"

他还要卖鱼,便叫苏酒坐在旁边自己玩,叮嘱她千万别跑远。

小姑娘抱着半只豆沙包子,乖乖坐在别人家门口的台阶上。

她呼呼热包子,爱惜地咬了一小口。

红豆沙好甜呀!

她晃悠着小脚脚,看苏堂卖鱼。

A thin and tall child, dressed in ragged clothes, is holding a baby chick and wants to exchange it for fish with his older brother. The brother rejects the offer, considering the chick too small, and the child begins crying and pleading with him. He says he wants to save money to attend the academy for education and dreams of becoming a high-ranking official through the imperial examination system, promising to repay his brother's kindness then.

Brother still refuses to change, and in the midst of pushing and shoving, the little kid's chick fled, causing a lively scene with chickens flying and dogs jumping all over the street.

Sujiu watched and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his two cheeks sweet and charming.

"Hello."

A hoarse voice suddenly came from beside.

Sujiu looked over and saw a boy in his early teens, wearing a blue cotton robe, squatting next to him, staring.

The boy had a handsome appearance, but his brows and eyes were very fierce.

She was a little scared, hugging the red bean bun and whispered, "Bad person..."

The young boy smiled strangely, took out a branch of osmanthus from his pocket, "Is the flower fragrant?"

Su Ji nodded, "Fragrant..."

"I'll trade my flowers for your steamed buns, alright?"

Su Jiu widened his eyes, nervously stuffing the steamed buns into his sleeve pocket, vigorously shaking his head: "No trade, no trade!"

The young boy sneered, glanced at Su Tang in the distance, and without hesitation covered Su Jiu's mouth, forcefully snatching the buns away!

He snatched half of the red bean bun and swallowed it in just three bites.

The little girl's eyes welled up with tears, her face flushed.

She was very angry, trembling as she stood up, raising her tender little fist to hit him, "Bad person, bun! Bad person, bun!"

The boy sidestepped and smiled: "The taste is not bad, here's a reward for you!"

He threw the withered osmanthus flower branch to the little girl, then swaggered away from the long street.

The little girl was crying and extremely hungry.

As she was huddled with her knees and tears streaming down her face, a package suddenly landed in front of her.

She looked up with teary eyes, and five or six children were proudly looking at her.

The young boy, with the look of spring dawn, dressed in embroidered clothing and boots, appeared very rich and luxurious.

He raised his thin eyebrows and spoke in a somewhat boastful tone: "We are righteous warriors from Jinling City, dedicated to helping the underprivileged and aiding the poor! These steamed buns are a reward for you!"

The little girl picked up the bag of steamed buns with a blank look.

Curiously, she observed these young gentlemen, some with painted faces, some playfully teasing each other, and some carrying medicine boxes. They all seemed to be sons of wealthy families.

She didn't have time to say thank you before they hurriedly ran away.

She picked up the bag of hot buns, thought for a moment, and then picked up the branch of osmanthus flowers.

She lowered her head and smelled the osmanthus flowers.

……

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Tingchen suddenly spoke, bringing Su Jiu's thoughts back.

It was the end of the year, and the two had only recently returned to Jinling City. Today they were out buying New Year's goods.

Memories that had been buried for many years flashed in Su Jiu's eyes, revealing a gentle smile.

She gently leaned on Xiao Tingchen's shoulder, like a spoiled child, "I suddenly want to eat red bean paste steamed buns."

"What's the big deal, it's just red bean paste steamed buns. I'll buy them for you," Xiao Tingchen replied indifferently.

Su Ji took the hot red bean bun and gently tore it open, giving him half of it. "You should eat too."

In the cold winter, the long street was filled with a single color.

Xiao Tingchen ordered several barrels of osmanthus wine and personally drove a cargo carriage to transport them back to the Xiao mansion.

苏酒坐在马车后面,晃悠着双脚,一边小口小口吃豆沙包,一边欣赏沿街景致。

到了年底,自是几家欢喜几家愁。

她看着那些年岁尚幼的孩子们欢呼着跑过街道,忍不住扬起笑容。

The long street is bustling, with tiny snowflakes falling.

She reached out and caught a snowflake, whispering, "Brother."

Xiao Tingchen lazily looked back at her.

Su Jiu tilted her head and smiled, "Red bean bun, so sweet!"
