Zhao Xiaobao remained hidden behind Lin Weidong, eating the candy in his hand without saying a word.

"Xiao Bao? Zhao Xiao Bao?"

Lin Qingyu patiently tried to communicate with him again, but for some reason, Zhao Xiaobao just wouldn't speak.

In the end, Lin Weidong pulled him out and asked him, "Xiaobao, why don't you come with my sister? She's not a bad person."

Zhao Xiaobao glanced at Lin Qingyu and said to Lin Weidong, "Brother, I ate all your candy. I wanted to ask Aunt to buy you one, but I'm too embarrassed!"

He thought he was speaking very quietly to Lin Weidong, but little did he know that Lin Qingyu had heard him.

She smiled and reached out to touch Zhao Xiaobao's hair.

"I'll buy one for each of you. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Lin Weidong felt a little embarrassed. He was already so old, how could he act like a child?

At first, he absolutely refused to go, but he only agreed after Zhao Xiaobao almost cried.

You can't start your own small business right now, or you'll be labeled a speculator.

Small items like sugar paintings have to be bought from supply and marketing cooperatives.

Although this doesn't require a ticket, it's not something you can eat often.

Lin Qingyu was walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative with her two children when she was suddenly embraced by someone.

She was terrified, thinking she had been assaulted in broad daylight.

The result was Gu Shi.

He couldn't find Zhao Xiaobao and was worried that Lin Qingyu was home alone, so he went home to check on her first.

When he got home and didn't see Lin Qingyu, he was so scared that his legs almost went weak.

Gu Shi rushed out again, heading towards Lin Qingyu's house. If he was even a step later, he would miss several more people.

"You scared me to death! What are you doing?"

Lin Qingyu gently punched Gu Shi, which was nothing compared to the previous scratching.

Gu Shi didn't mind; he hugged Lin Qingyu like a child for a while.

Zhao Xiaobao, who was standing next to them, stared blankly at the two of them. Lin Weidong quickly reached out and covered his eyes.

Then he coughed again, trying to awaken the conscience of the two adults.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Qingyu realized that there were still two children on the scene, so she quickly nudged Gu Shi, but of course, she couldn't move him.

She had already thoroughly experienced the impressive muscles on Gu Shi's body.

Fortunately, Gu Shi wasn't an unreasonable person and quickly released Lin Qingyu.

Everyone's busy again now, thankfully no one saw it.

"Zhao Xiaobao!"

Gu Shi is so annoying! I saw him and was about to yell at him.

Lin Qingyu quickly grabbed him and explained the situation to him.

Gu Shicai suddenly remembered that something like that had happened yesterday, but he still said a few words about it.

"You went to someone else's house and didn't even come home early! Your aunt and I looked for you all morning!"

Seeing that he was lying through his teeth, Lin Qingyu felt a little embarrassed, but she hugged Zhao Xiaobao and retorted.

"How could he have gone to someone else's house? Besides, Xiaobao is usually quite sensible, so don't blame him."

Gu Shi remained silent, but Zhao Xiaobao felt an even greater fondness for Lin Qingyu.

As expected, his aunt cared about him, and he should treat her well in the future.

Lin Weidong was happy to see that the three of them got along well, at least his sister's future days wouldn't be too difficult.

None of them had eaten, so Gu Shi wouldn't let them go to the supply and marketing cooperative and instead took the children home to eat.

In the end, Lin Qingyu took the two children there herself.

The supply and marketing cooperative in Lihua Village is located near the village school.

Moreover, most of the village's facilities are located nearby, precisely to make it convenient for villagers so they don't have to walk too far.

Zhao Xiaobao skipped and hopped into the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative. The cooperative was not large, about the size of a small shop.

He glanced at the scene; the person who had just bought the sugar painting was gone, and it was no longer available.

Zhao Xiaobao immediately felt a little wronged, and Lin Weidong quickly comforted him.

Lin Qingyu had tickets and money in her hand, so she could buy other things.

She glanced at it and saw some unwrapped candies in the counter, which were considered a treat for children in those days.

Lin Qingyu bought some things for both children and was about to pay when a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Oh my, Teacher Feng, you're so good with words, hahaha!"

Feng Chao had no expression. Wu Lili walked in with him and immediately saw Lin Qingyu, who was about to pay the bill.

"Oh my, isn't this Sister-in-law Gu, who just got married? Why are you bringing your kids from your family to buy candy?"

Wu Lili now starts causing trouble whenever she sees Lin Qingyu.

Ever since she robbed Zhao Xiaobao of his things last time, the villagers have had some complaints about her.

She couldn't understand why Lin Qingyu, who had always listened to her, suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

However, this also had its advantages, as she finally got together with Feng Chao.

Maybe her name will be on the list of those returning to the city next year.

Lin Qingyu glanced at her, and couldn't help but recall the scene she had witnessed that evening.

It's disgusting just thinking about it.

"I buy everything with my own money, which I earned through my own abilities. I can spend it on whomever I want. Isn't Wu Zhiqing being a bit too controlling?"

Lin Qingyu showed no fear and stared straight at her.

Perhaps it's true that what you can't have is always the best, because Feng Chao suddenly pulled Wu Lili away.

He walked up to Lin Qingyu, smiling obsequiously, "Qingyu, what would you like to buy? I'll buy it for you!"

Lin Qingyu took a half step back, thinking that she was already married, so why was Feng Chao still like this?

"No need, my husband gave me the money, and I have my own money too. Teacher Feng, you should buy it for your partner!"

As she spoke, she looked behind Feng Chao and exchanged a deep, affectionate gaze with Wu Lili.

She saw the anger in Wu Lili's eyes clearly.

Lin Qingyu indifferently looked away and distanced herself from Feng Chao.

She didn't want to get involved in any gossip with this kind of person.

Feng Chao's expression froze on his face; he simply wouldn't give up.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Weidong stepped forward.

“Teacher Feng, my sister just got married, isn’t this inappropriate? The book says that if you do this, you should call her…”

Zhao Xiaobao added at the opportune moment: "That's called being a hooligan!"

Lin Qingyu suddenly smiled, and even the sales clerk behind the counter couldn't help but laugh.

Feng Chao's face immediately turned ugly, and before he could speak, Wu Lili couldn't hold back anymore.

"You little brat, how dare you talk nonsense! I'll beat you up!"

Zhao Xiaobao was scolded by Gu Shi after he almost got beaten up by Wu Lili last time.

He always kept in mind Gu Shi's famous saying: never back down, no matter what.

"You're such a grown man, how dare you threaten a child! Aren't you ashamed?!"

What was originally meant as a scare tactic turned out hilarious when Zhao Xiaobao said it.
