Chapter 262 Doubts

"Hey, Miss Chen Er, has Fat Orange come to Xu's house?"

The little child had candy in his mouth and was speechless. He also held a whole bag of candy in his hand. Chen Tong knew this kind of candy, so Azhi bought it for her and Fangfei. She didn't like sweet food, so she gave it to Fangfei. Fangfei put it into a can like a baby, and only ate one or two a day.

This sugar is very expensive.

Aunt Lei is very precious to this grandson.

"Yes, I'll be looking for oranges." Chen Tong smiled.

Brother Bao guessed it right, grinned proudly, but did not stop and ran out of the alley quickly.

When Chen Tong returned home, Jiang Pozi and Xinwu were not there. She asked Huang: "Sister is going to buy vegetables with Jiang Pozi again?"

"The embroidery thread is not complete, and Mrs. Jiang doesn't understand this, so I asked Awu to match it." It seems that the embroidery thread is not complete. Today, Huang did not make a female red girl. She is grinding mung beans with small stones.

Chen Tong hurried over and said to Huang: "Let Mrs. Jiang do this kind of work in the future. You go to the house to rest, I'll work."

Huang did not let go and said with a smile: "This is not tired, you are clumsy, I'm not relieved. If the grinding is not fine enough, the mung bean cake you made will not taste good."

Seeing that Huang's eyes were covered with black green, Chen Tong asked, "My mother didn't sleep well? Are there mosquitoes in the house? Have you used up the mosquito coils I got back last time?"

Every summer, Baihuitang will make some mosquito coils to sell, and the effect is very good.

"Yes, a mosquito entered the tent last night, but I couldn't catch it, so I didn't sleep well." Huang said with a smile.

"Well, I'll go to the shop now and bring the mosquito coils back tonight." Chen Tong said as she prepared to go out.

But she was stopped by Huang just after taking a few steps.

"Tongtong, wait."

Chen Tong turned around and asked, "My mother, what's wrong?"

Huang hesitated for a moment, came out of the stove, met Chen Tong's crystal clear eyes, Huang asked, "Are you learning Taoism?"

"Learn Tao?" Chen Tong was stunned, then smiled and shook her head, "No, Mr. Chi can't finish all the homework assigned by him. How can I learn that? Besides, I don't want to become an immortal, so what can I do when I learn Tao?"

"It's good if you haven't learned it. When Ah Niang heard that a little girl had read a few Taoist books, she clamored to go to the Taoist temple to practice. Ah Niang didn't want you to be like them." Huang breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still solemn. It seemed that he was really worried. Although the people were afraid of ghosts and gods and burned incense and worshipped Buddha on weekdays, they were reluctant to let their children become monks.

Chen Tong quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my mother, practice is very hard, I can't stand that kind of suffering."

When talking about the four words "no flesh is not happy", Chen Tong's heart sank, but the smile on her face did not fade away.

"It's good if not, Tongtong, my mother has only you, her biological daughter. I don't want you to have any mistakes. After experiencing the past few years, my mother just wants to live a stable life with you. In a few years, I will tell you a good marriage. Seeing you happily marry, my mother can also feel at ease to see your father."

When Huang said this, tears were already in his eyes.

Chen Tong was startled and hurriedly walked over to support her: "My grandma, I will listen to you and will definitely not learn Taoism, don't worry."

Huang clapped her hand and said sadly: "Tongtong, Mr. Xu and others are kind to help us mother and daughter, but my mother also realized that they are not ordinary people, and you are gradually growing up. Men and women are very careful. When you are fine, you should avoid going in and out with them so as not to cause gossip and affect your marriage."

Chen Tong's brows moved, but she did not argue with Huang, and said comfortably: "Okay, I remember, you don't have to worry about me, I'm only twelve, it's still too early to say that you are close."

As she said that, she blinked at Huang mischievously. Huang's eyes still had tears in her eyes, but she still laughed out loud: "You kid, just say it nicely, and in a blink of an eye, I don't know where to play. When you are three years old, you are just a monkey."

Chen Tong laughed and coaxed Huang a few more words before leaving the house.

After leaving home, the smile on Chen Tong's face disappeared.

She quickly walked to the Xu family next door, called Fangfei and Xiaomei, and went to the shop together.

Along the way, Chen Tong was thinking about her worries, but Fangfei and her little sister were chirping like two little birds.

Suddenly, Chen Tong asked, "Does Aunt Lei's little grandson often come to our house to play?"

"How could it be? Brother Bao was about to chase after oranges when he saw them. When he was caught by oranges, he cried loudly. I was so annoying that I wouldn't let him come to our house." At this point, Fangfei remembered something and said, "Miss, did he run to our alley to chase oranges again? I saw him in the alley that day. When he met, he asked me why oranges were not at home. He must have looked at the crack in our door."

Fangfei said this and she had to roll up her sleeves. The hateful little kid, next time she saw him chasing Orange, she would beat him to cry and call him mom.

Chen Tong shook his head: "I saw him at the door of the Xu family. He thought I came to Xu family to find oranges."

"Look, I don't know that Juzi is not at home. He knows better than me. He is not staring at Juzi all day or something. If Juzi is lost one day, he must have been stolen." Fangfei became more and more angry and wanted to beat someone up again. If she beat Brother Bao one day, it would not be considered bullying the child.

"You don't know that Juzi is not at home because you are not at home either. Since Brother Bao is staring at Juzi all day long, if he comes to our house, is the first thing he does to find Juzi?" Chen Tong asked.

"Hey, yes, he will definitely find oranges when he comes to our house... Miss, are you saying he went to our house? What did he do in our house?" Fangfei couldn't figure it out.

"You said you have seen him in the alley, do you still remember when?" Chen Tong asked again.

"When was it... that day he was holding that big piece of sesame candy in his hand, the kind of sesame candy from Daoxiangyuan." Fangfei remembered the sesame candy, but couldn't remember when he saw Brother Bao.

"I remember, I remember," the little girl who had not spoken interrupted, "It was the day when Aunt Jiang and the eldest girl went out, Sister Fangfei lied to the eldest girl and said she was buying wontons for Mr. Chi, but she didn't even have a food box in her hand, so the eldest girl definitely didn't believe it."

Chen Tong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you saying that Mrs. Jiang and Xinwu were not at home that day, so they went out?"

This time Fangfei finally remembered it, and she said, "Yes, yes, I went out with my little sister that day to see if the Taoist Yiqing was there, but I didn't see Taoist Yiqing, but I saw the Taoist Jiang and the eldest girl go out. They were going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I still think it's strange. The eldest girl is so clean, why do she still buy vegetables?"
