Xie Shen put down the clothes in his hands, wiped the water on his pants, and walked over to Zhang Ruifeng. He said, "Mom, why are you buying candy? Just buy some hard candy. Two pieces for one cent. You buy the two-cent ones. My sister and I will each have one, and you can have two."
Zhang Ruifeng patted her son's head and said with a smile, "We've been so tight on money these past few years that we haven't bought anything nice for you two. Life is getting better, so let's enjoy it once in a while. It's okay, it's just once in a while. I won't buy you anything often."
Xie Shen chuckled.
Zhang Ruifeng took out a candy bag and gave it to him, saying, "Share it among yourself."
Half a pound of milk candy wasn't much, so Xie Shen counted it and found a total of twenty-eight pieces. "Thirty-nine is twenty-seven, nine for sister, nine for me, and ten for mom. Sister, is this okay?"
"I can do it for just 8 dollars, 10 dollars each for you and mom."
"Then I'll take 8 yuan, and you and mom will each take 10 yuan."
Zhang Ruifeng said, "I don't like sweet things. Just give me two pieces to try, and you two can split the rest."
Xie Shen simply didn't believe it. Who doesn't like sweet things? Everyone loves hard candy, not to mention milk candy. His mother just wanted to save the delicious food for him and his sister, she just made up a bunch of nonsense.
Xie Shen counted out 8 pieces and put them in his pocket. He then divided the rest into two piles, one for Zhang Ruifeng and the other for Xie Yun. "Since you asked me to divide it, then let's do it this way."
He peeled a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, slurping it and saying with emotion, "It's delicious."
He couldn't bear to throw away the candy wrapper, so he stuffed it into his pocket.
Xie Shen turned around to continue hanging the clothes, and Zhang Ruifeng called him: "Wait, what's wrong with your neck? Why is it red?"
Xie Shen: "...Hehehe, well, I got stung by a bee, just once, and my sister pulled the sting out."
"How did you get stung by a bee? Where did the bee come from?"
There are only hornets' nests in the village, and they are found under the eaves of many houses. If you don't provoke them, they won't sting you.
Xie Shen smiled happily, "My sister and I went up the mountain this afternoon. As we walked in, we saw a big beehive. My sister climbed up the tree and picked it off."
Zhang Ruifeng was furious: "Do you know how dangerous that is? Even if there are too many bees, they can sting someone to death!"
