"Let me see." Hu Zhong's thoughts were drawn away by Myolie Wu.
At this time, Hu Jun looked up at Hu Lin in the yard.
Covered by the book, Hu Jun could only see Hu Lin's bald head.
After Li Aihua came back from digging wild vegetables, Hu Lin returned the book to Hu Jun.
There were three candies in the book as a thank you gift.
Although the three people spoke in a low voice before, she had sharper ears and eyes than normal people. When she heard it, she took the candy given by Dazhu and offered it to him as a token of appreciation.
Hu Jun knew something was wrong when he took the book. He waited until Hu Lin went to the kitchen before he opened the bulging book.
The three candies were exposed to the three people's field of vision, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother, what does she mean by this?" Although the youngest member, Myolie Wu, was envious, she still restrained herself.
"I don't know." Hu Jun gave each of them a candy, "but I think it's best not to let anyone know."
Hu Zhong squeezed the candy in his hand and began to saliva, "Didn't my parents tell me?"
"If you want to tell me, just say it." Hu Jun put the candy in his pocket.
Myolie Wu opened the candy wrapper and ate it directly, "Brother, Cuban candy is so sweet."
She had seen other people eating this candy at school and heard them say it was called Cuban candy.
"No, no." Seeing Myolie Wu's satisfied look, Hu Zhong also peeled off the sugar coating and couldn't wait to put the brown sugar in his mouth.
In the kitchen, Hu Lin lit a fire and watched Li Aihua mix the flour and wash the wild vegetables. When he had some free time, he handed the four candies left in his pocket to Li Aihua.
"Eat candy."
Li Aihua saw the candy in Hu Lin's hand and looked at him in surprise, "Where did you get this candy, girl?"
"Dazhu from the village chief's family gave it to me." The reason she accepted the candy was because she thought Li Aihua probably hadn't eaten candy in years, and she wanted to let her have a taste.
"He is not--" Li Aihua stopped talking abruptly, thinking of the conditions discussed between the two families in the Yang family.
Except for Hu Lin, the person involved, no one else in the younger generation of the Hu family knew about this matter. She was afraid that the children in the hall would hear it.
Because Hu Lin's situation was special, his parents-in-law did not allow the children to take leave, so they didn't know.
"I know what's going on."
"Then you eat it, girl. I don't want to eat these." Li Aihua had forgotten what candy tasted like, so naturally she wasn't greedy.
"Let's each take half." Hu Lin took two and stuffed them into Li Aihua's hand, "Try it."
Li Aihua looked at the candy in her hand and felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her eyes turned slightly red.
"Don't cry, good days are still ahead!" Hu Lin ate a candy first and threw the candy wrapper into the stove.
"Eh!" Li Aihua blinked her eyes to hold back her tears, then carefully opened a candy and put it in her mouth.
"How is it?" Hu Lin asked.
"Sweet." Li Aihua's eyes sparkled.
The sweetness of this candy reached her heart, coating the dry and gray past of these years with a layer of syrup.
Hu Lin smiled appropriately.
I don't know what this candy is made of. It looks a bit like brown sugar, but it tastes sweet with a hint of bitterness and a slightly strange smell.

A month later, her wound no longer hurt, but started to itch.
She felt relieved that she didn't have to take injections, but she had to take Chinese medicine with every meal.
After a long time, she always smelled like medicine.
That day, after Hu Lin finished his lunch, he was worrying about the Chinese medicine that Li Aihua brought over. Hu Zhu, who was absent during the meal, came back.
The Hu family had not gone to take a nap yet and were chatting in the hall. When they saw Hu Zhu coming back, the couple from the second room stood up.
"Mom and Dad, I got all the stuff back."
"There's food left in the kitchen. Go eat it and we'll move the food."
"Yeah." Hu Zhu went to the kitchen to eat.
Sun Fangfen happily called on the people from the first and second rooms to go out and move things, and the old couple also followed them out to watch.
The things were pulled back by the village's ox cart. For pulling such heavy objects, one had to pay ten cents.
Cao Zhaodi gave the money and directed everyone to move things, constantly yelling "be careful, don't touch it".
Hu Lin looked at the wooden cabinets, tables and benches that a group of people had moved in, and swallowed a gulp of the medicine that was so bitter that her tongue was numb.
These are the three major items used for weddings nowadays, and she thought they were something else at the time.
But I've taken all my things home, and they'll probably be leaving soon, as it's already mid-June.
A group of people temporarily put these things in the hall, and the hall suddenly looked crowded.
After finishing his meal, Hu Zhu came out and scooped water from the water tank in the yard to wash his hands.
"Wardrobe?" Sun Fangfen asked her son hurriedly, "Isn't it ready yet?"
"Well, my master asked me to pick it up next week." Hu Zhu waved his hands.
"All right then."
"Let's go back and take a nap, and then go to work in the afternoon." Hu Guangjie and Hu Zhu went back to the house to take a nap.
Sun Fangfen looked back at Cao Zhaodi and followed her back to the house.
Gao Ruqiong looked at the quarrel between the two and became even more confused.
The wedding is in more than a month, why hasn’t this family started building the house yet?
Hu Jirui didn't care about these and took the child and Gao Ruqiong back to the house to take a nap.
Hu Lin glanced at the silent Hu Xiaoyi and took the bowl to the kitchen.
Cao Zhaodi walked up to Hu Xiaoyi and said, "Don't go to work tomorrow. Take them and go over there to clean up."
"Listen to my mother."
"I'll give you the key."
Cao Zhaodi went back to the room and took out a rusty key from under the cabinet and gave it to Hu Xiaoyi.
Hu Xiaoyi took the small key and Hu Lin came out just in time to see it.
After breakfast the next day, Hu Xiaoyi took Li Aihua and Hu Lin and took some rags and two buckets to the end of the village.
Li Aihua didn't ask Hu Xiaoyi the reason, and Hu Xiaoyi didn't explain either. Hu Lin knew it and was too lazy to say anything.
The three of them arrived at their destination in silence.
This place is at the foot of Daqing Mountain. You can walk up the mountain in a few minutes. There is a stream flowing down from the mountain not far away.
Next to it is the cowshed, only a few dozen meters away, and further on is the pigpen, which is a sideline business for the village.
There are no residents or fields around, and the nearest ones are a hundred meters away.
I guess the villagers built the cowshed and pigpen here because no one lives here.
When Li Aihua saw the house in front of her, surprise flashed across her eyes. Thinking of how she and Hu Xiaoyi always looked at each other in silence, she didn't dare to ask.
She knew this house as she would pass by it when going up the mountain, but she didn't know that the house belonged to the Hu family, and her family had never told her about it.
I don't even know what they are doing here now.
Hu Xiaoyi took out the key and opened the door.
I don’t know if it was because the key given by Cao Zhaodi was not working or because the lock was too old, but it took Hu Xiaoyi a while to open the lock.
There was a thick layer of dust on the door. When Hu Xiaoyi pushed it open, his hands were covered with dust.
What followed was a thick cloud of dust in the room caused by the wind from the door. Hu Xiaoyi, who was standing at the door, was choked and coughed several times.
It seems that she still overestimated the Hu family.
At this time, everyone was working and there was no living person to be seen here. The Hu family knew the situation of this place, so they were unwilling to even do the superficial work.
