Grandma Hua's deeply lined face showed even deeper wrinkles. "Where did it come from?"
Seeing that his grandmother was unhappy, Hua Cunming was a little scared and explained tremblingly, "The little girl gave it to me. I said I didn't want it, but she said that accepting a kind gift is a virtue. Grandma... I was wrong."
Hua Cunming spoke softer and softer, his head lowered, and he slowly withdrew the hand holding the candy.
A look of heartache and complicated emotions flashed in Grandma Hua's eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Eat it yourself. Remember how kind your little sister is."
Hua Cunming's eyes lit up instantly. "Grandma, eat some. My sister gave me three. We'll each have half."
He then handed the candy over.
Grandma Hua's eyes were full of relief. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and accepted it.
Hua Cunming smiled even more broadly, and said eagerly yet cautiously, "Miss also said she would bring over braised pork tonight."
Grandma Hua was somewhat surprised, but after a while she felt relieved and sighed softly.
In fact, over the years, the grandfather and grandson have received a lot of secret assistance from the Su couple.
She was very upset when the Su couple had an accident a while ago, and she secretly cursed God for being blind.
Her situation was so awkward that she didn't dare to go and help, and in fact, she couldn't help at all. She herself was in deep trouble, and it was good enough that she was alive.
Then look at my grandson, who is ten years old this year, but looks only six or seven years old, and is pitifully thin.
Moreover, the age when they should have started school was delayed for various reasons.
Oh, when will this ever end? God is so blind!
When Su Xiao returned home, she was also thinking about the grandmother and grandson next door, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Based on the original owner's somewhat hazy memories and her own guesses, the grandparents and grandchildren next door must be pitiful people from a special era.
Because they had been neighbors for many years, the Su family had always secretly helped them. However, Su's mother never let Su Xiaoxiao get involved in these matters and told her not to tell anyone and to stay away from the two neighbors, for fear that she might get into trouble if she was not careful.
In Su Xiaoxiao's limited memory, Su Xiaoxiao knew that there used to be a kind and amiable old man next door, who suddenly disappeared ten years ago. Soon after, the old man's son was also forcibly taken away, leaving behind his pregnant aunt and grandmother.
However, after Auntie gave birth to Xiaoming, she suddenly disappeared one day. People said she ran away with someone.
In the end, only Xiaoming and his grandmother were left next door, relying on each other for survival.
Su Xiao hadn't intended to delve into what happened next door, but the day before yesterday, she saw Xiao Ming sitting on the steps by the door waiting for his grandmother to come home, his pale little face curled up in a corner. She was touched and thought she could help him however she could.
One more year, hang in there, everything will be alright.
However, the child is quite wary. Yesterday, when I tried to give him some food, he ran away immediately.
Su Xiao carried the pig offal to the well and began to clean it.
This was her first time doing this job, but she knew the basic steps.
The image of Su's mother squatting by the well washing pig offal involuntarily floated into my mind. Tian Ni was a very gentle woman, and Su Xiaoxiao really lived a happy life under her care.
After cleaning the pig offal, I also washed some Chinese cabbage.
Today she plans to make pork and cabbage wontons and braise a pot of pork intestines.
Smacking her lips, Su Xiao was full of energy at the thought of the delicious food that was coming soon.
Unfortunately, this isn't the era where you can just pull out your phone and order a bunch of takeout anymore. If you want to eat well, you still have to put in the effort.
