When Wei Mo saw that the two people who came in were Li Taiping and Zhou Fen, he quickly put down what he was holding and ran towards them.
He didn't speak until he reached the two of them.
"Big brother, big sister, what brings you here? What brings you to my house?"
Wei Mo is still a child, so he naturally has to act young!
Zhou Juan smiled at the child in front of her, then squatted down, patted the child's head, and said to Wei Mo,
"I heard that the female educated youth are all here, so I wanted to come and see them. There's no one from our side, so I just wanted to visit. I hope I won't bother them?"
Wei Mo, with his big eyes, looked at Zhou Fen in front of him, shook his head, and said...
"No, they're over there. I'll take you there!"
After Wei Mo finished speaking, he looked at Li Taiping, who quickly took out a few more pieces of milk candy from his pocket, handed them to Wei Mo, and said,
"Little one, here's some milk candy for you. Take it and eat it now."
Wei Mo thought Li Taiping was really good at handling things! He was generous, handing out handfuls of milk candy. You know, these days milk candy required coupons and was quite expensive.
However, the milk candies these days are undeniably delicious. After nodding his thanks, Wei Mo peeled open a milk candy and put it in his mouth to eat.
Li Taiping was amused by the cute appearance of the little kid in front of him, and squatted down to pat Wei Mo's head.
Wei Mo couldn't help but wonder, since everyone likes to touch their own head, will he go bald in the future?
When Li Xiuxiu and Wei Ma saw other people enter the courtyard, who seemed to be familiar with Wei Mo, they didn't pay much attention to it.
In fact, Li Taiping and Zhou Fen had been in the village for some time, but now Wang Zhenhua's family stayed at home almost every day, weaving various things and rarely contacting the outside world, so they didn't recognize the two at all.
The old man had met Li Taiping and Zhou Fen before, so when he saw his eldest grandson running towards them, he didn't stop him.
Wei Mo, chewing on a milk candy, looked at Li Taiping and asked...
"Big brother, where did you get your candy? It's so sweet!"
You should know that Wei Mo had also been to the supply and marketing cooperative, but he had never found this kind of milk candy.
Li Taiping was amused by Wei Mo's appearance. Wei Mo took the hands of the two of them, and Li Taiping and Zhou Fen stood up. Led by Wei Mo, the three of them walked towards Wang Zhenhua's direction.
Wang Zhenhua and the others stopped weaving straw sandals, stood up, and looked at the two people Wei Mo had brought with him.
"Mom, this is our village. The new educated youth who came here a while ago always give me candy. It's so delicious."
After Wei Mo finished speaking, he divided the remaining milk candies among Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui. There were two left, and after thinking for a moment, he gave them to Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu.
Wei Xiaomin happily took the milk candy, peeled off the outer layer, and put it in her mouth to eat, her eyes squinting from the sweetness.
Wei Xiaohui, however, was reluctant to eat it and tried to put it in her pocket, but Wei Mo snatched it back, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into Wei Xiaohui's mouth.
That's how my older sister is. She always saves the food for herself, not the other way around. How could I allow such a thing to happen in front of Wei Mo?
Wang Zhenhua and the others also realized what was happening and greeted Li Taiping and Zhou Fen.
"Hello, hello, comrades, please have a seat. What brings you here?"
Li Taiping didn't actually have anything to do; he was just accompanying Zhou Fen. His main purpose was to see if this little kid was as amazing as the rumors in the village suggested, and he wanted to get to know him better.
Zhou Fen's purpose in coming was to get to know these female educated youths, mainly because she felt too lonely there.
Zhou Fen took out a handful of candy from her pocket and shared it with everyone. When Li Taiping saw this, he also hurriedly took out candy for everyone.
Wei Ma and the others refused, but Li Taiping and Zhou Fen spoke up.
"Everyone, please eat. It's nothing expensive, just something to sweeten your mouth."
With her frail body, Wei Ma was no match for Zhou Fen. After refusing, she could only accept the candy and thanked Zhou Fen.
"Thank you so much. This educated youth doesn't even know your name yet."
Seeing Wang Zhenhua's politeness, Zhou Fen quickly said,
"Madam, my name is Zhou Fen. Please take care of me in the future. I'm too lonely living alone at the educated youth settlement."
The old man wasn't interested in the young people's conversation, so he pulled his eldest grandson aside.
My eldest grandson just gave me some candy, and I'm still holding it in my hand. I'll let him have some more later.
Li Taiping felt a little embarrassed. After seeing the old man and Wei Mo leave, and then looking at the women in front of him, he thought for a moment, then stood up and addressed the crowd.
"I need to speak with the old man a little something. You two talk first."
Then he got up and followed the old village chief. He was a little too embarrassed to sit there, since it was all women there in this day and age. It wasn't appropriate for someone his age to sit with them.
As expected of Wei Mo's chosen second-in-command, Zhou Fen quickly became friends with Wei's mother and the others, and the group of women laughed heartily.
Even Grandma Yu, who was standing to the side, was amused by Zhou Fen and kept laughing, while Li Taiping followed the old man and Wei Mo to the side.
The old man, remembering that the other person was a sent-down youth and that he himself was the village head, casually asked,
"How are you doing? Are you adjusting to life here? Are you finding it too tiring? Are you getting enough to eat?"
Li Taiping nodded to the old village chief in response to his concern, and said with some joy.
"It's great here. The food is good, it's not too tiring, and the people here seem to be quite nice."
Hearing others praise the village he managed, the old man was quite happy. He nodded to Li Taiping and looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction.
"Young man, if you ever have any problems that you can't solve, come to me. I live here. But you mustn't get involved in anything illegal or disorderly."
Li Taiping felt a pang of anxiety at the old man's words, since he frequently visited the black market, which could be considered a crime of theft and profiteering.
He hurriedly waved his hand at the old man, indicating that he would not touch it.
Then Li Taiping stared intently at Wei Mo, wanting to see what was so special about the child that everyone in the village said was the smartest.
But no matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary child. I couldn't help but shake my head. It seems the villagers are just spreading rumors.
The old man returned to his house, leaving only Wei Mo and Li Taiping there. Li Taiping thought about how many milk candies he still had in his pocket, so he took out two more.
He handed it to Wei Mo, who happily accepted it and said to Li Taiping.
"Brother, this candy must be hard to buy, right?"
Li Taiping didn't understand what Wei Mowen meant. How could sugar be easy or difficult to buy? It just required sugar coupons and money.
He's recently been dabbling in the black market and has made a small fortune. But he can't tell outsiders about these things.
Wei Mo looked at Li Taiping without replying. In fact, Wei Mo thought highly of Li Taiping. At least he was generous and always took out a few pieces of milk candy for himself.
You should know that milk candy is now considered a luxury item, and very few children can afford to eat it.
Wei Mo wasn't one to take advantage of others. After thinking for a moment, he said,
"Big brother, wait for me here, I'm going back."
Then she jogged back into the house, took a twisted dough stick from the dish rack, ran back, and handed the twisted dough stick to Li Dongtaiping. Only then did Wei Mo speak.
"Big brother, this was made at home. Please have some."
In fact, this was also a test by Wei Mo.
I'll see if I can reach a cooperation agreement with Li Taiping. After all, I'm just a child, and my whole family is women, so it's not suitable for me to go to a place like the black market.
Logically speaking, these educated youth should have the most insightful ideas, perhaps they could...
