Chapter 24 Chiffon Cake

They said they were going to the town, but in fact they had turned off halfway. Qin Qing was exhausted along the way and wanted to give up several times. But he mustered up his confidence again and headed towards Shangyang Village, leaning on his thin legs.

"Auntie, which way is Zhu Fugui's house?" As she entered the village, she stopped an aunt carrying a hoe and asked.

A smile broke out on the old bark-like face of the auntie. She was obviously pleased with the address and stretched out her hand to point in the direction she was going.

I took a look at Qin Qing by the way. She was a pretty girl, but as thin as a bamboo pole.

After thanking him, she walked towards the other side of the path, slowed down and tidied her clothes. From a distance, she saw a group of children squatting on the ground playing. One of them was quite conspicuous. Who else could it be but Zhu Zhu? She looked at others with envy on her face, but no one wanted to play with her.

That’s right, this Miss Zhu Zhu would offend people if she didn’t speak, so she didn’t have many friends in school.

In fact, it's just that I'm too straightforward.

"Zhu Zhu." Qin Qing shouted loudly.

The chubby girl turned her head slowly when she heard the voice. When she saw the dusty Qin Qingshi, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement and she ran over like the wind.

"Qingqing, why are you here? You look like a gray monkey..."

The child squatting on the ground looked back for the first time. There was a fat girl and a skinny guy, nothing to see.

Qin Qing was choked by her words. Good boy, he forgot everything. Before the holiday, she had clearly held his hand and cried, repeatedly reminding him that he must come to play with her.

If it were someone else, they would probably just turn around and leave.

She was extremely shameless and happily held Zhu Zhu's hand. Her hands were slippery and one could tell at a glance that she was not a work person.

He was just too fat, with the flesh on his face squeezing his features together. His lips were rosy, and he looked different from these little refugees.

"I've come all the way here." Qin Qing pounded his legs in pain, which immediately made Zhu Zhu feel distressed.

"Come on, let's go to my house and play. I can't let you come here for no reason..."

Since she ate Qin Qing's food a lot on weekdays, Zhu Zhu had already said that her family had nothing else but free pig offal, pig bones and pig trotters. Her mother would always make soup for her to drink, and she fed her daughter a fat girl.

If Qin Qing needs it, she can buy it directly from her house.

Isn't this coming?

The two of them walked hand in hand all the way home, attracting a lot of attention. Zhu Zhu stood in front of her like a wolf cub guarding its food, and greeted everyone with the three words.

"What are you looking at!" His tone was not tactful or polite at all, otherwise how could he have no friends?

Shameful.

As soon as she entered the yard, she closed the door behind her. Facing Qin Qing's puzzled look, Zhu Zhu explained.

The people in the village had very sharp noses and fell in love with her house in no time, so her mother ordered that the gate of the courtyard be closed at all times, in case any situation arose and she, a little girl, didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhu Zhu quickly brought out a lot of snacks from her room like a hamster, including dried sweet potatoes, fried soybeans and a piece of glutinous rice cake.

She painfully took out a large piece and handed it to Qin Qing, saying, "Eat it quickly!"

He clearly looked concerned, but his tone was as if he was going to beat you up if you didn't eat it.

Qin Qing took a small bite and swallowed it, then slowly took out the cake from her bag.

He tentatively said to Zhu Zhu, "Zhu Zhu, you know my family is not doing well. I can't afford to buy meat. This is the cake my uncle brought back from the provincial capital. Can I exchange it for a large rat bone?"

The old yellow paper was unfolded, revealing the delicate cake base. A sweet fragrance wafted out, and Zhu Zhu's eyes were immediately glued to it.

After a while, he licked his lips and said, "Will your mother and the others agree to this?"

Cakes and the like not only require tickets, but are also obviously much more expensive than large rat bones.

Qin Qing nodded excitedly, picked up a piece with his fingers and put it in Zhu Zhu's hand.

"Try it!" as if offering a treasure.
