Carrying two large bags of meatballs, Tangkuai skipped and hopped home, eager to finish her task so she could exchange them for a big chicken leg with Zhong Wanwan.
When he reached his doorstep, his eyes darted around, and he turned and went out again.
Look at his brain, how could he forget the delicious food in his pocket!
He decided to find a place to eat first, and then go home.
If his mother saw this, she would definitely pick up the stew, and it wouldn't taste as good as it does now.
Moreover, given his sister's outgoing nature, she'd definitely be secretly saving a few for Tang Zhiqing, which would be a huge loss for him.
Sugar cube sneaked around to its own woodpile, nestled in the firewood, and like a little mouse, ate all the meatballs.
This is so filling, my stomach is bulging. It's the first time I've ever felt so greasy from eating meat!
Sugar Cube let out a satisfied burp and went home contentedly.
When Aunt Wang saw the candy, she scolded:
"You naughty little rascal, where have you been running around again? I've been calling you at the door for ages and you didn't answer!"
Candy: Well, I only ate a little bit and didn't finish it!
The candy didn't reply, so Aunt Wang continued on her own:
I steamed some mixed flour buns for you today, go and eat them!
Springtime is a time of scarcity, and even someone as pampered as a candy hasn't had a steamed bun made with two kinds of flour for a week!
Normally, the candy would have jumped three feet high and rushed to lift the lid!
But now, after eating meatballs and sugar cubes, I even feel a bit nauseous at the thought of steamed buns made from two kinds of dough.
The candy made two unconscious "hiccups" sounds, which startled Aunt Wang:
"Candy, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you feel nauseous?"
Sugar cube: I ate too many meatballs, but I can't say it.
Sugar felt a little guilty, and he waved his hand impatiently:
"I'm fine, I'm just not hungry today. Where's my sister? Where did she go?"
Aunt Wang said jealously:
"Why do you ask about your sister as soon as you get home? Is your sister more important than your mother?"
Candy to coax Aunt Wang:
"No way! Mom and I are best friends. I was just checking to see if my sister was slacking off. If she is, then Mom will have to do more work!"
Only then did Aunt Wang beam with joy:
"My son is so considerate, unlike that brat, who knows where she's run off to, probably washing clothes for that Tang educated youth again!"
"That brat is such a slut, I'll beat her to death when she gets back!"
Aunt Wang wouldn't let Douya wash Tang Zixuan's clothes, so Douya naturally didn't dare to wash them at home. She would go to the well on the farm, draw water from the well, wash the clothes there, and then carry a basin of clean clothes home.
Upon hearing this, Sugar couldn't sit still any longer and hurried out the door.
Aunt Wang called from behind:
"Sugar, what are you doing out there again? I've put the two batches of dough in the pot to make steamed buns for you, so they won't get cold when you come back."
Sugar Cube didn't hear Aunt Wang's voice at all; he was completely absorbed in telling his sister a story!
Sugar Cube ran to the farm's well, and sure enough, Bean Sprout was vigorously scrubbing Tang Zixuan's clothes with her hands, which were red from the cold.
Seeing the candy coming over, Bean Sprout panicked a little and said ingratiatingly:
"Why did you come here, Sugar? I'll be done washing up soon. You should go home first; it's too cold outside."
"Don't tell Mom I'm doing laundry here!"
