Gu Xin's purse contained copper coins, pieces of peanut brittle that Gu Nian had fried and wrapped in oil paper, and pumpkin seeds, which were fried from the seeds of pumpkins from her family's vegetable garden and smelled very good.
Cheng Huaiyu only stared at Gu Xin taking things out of her purse, as if she hadn't heard what Gu Xin was saying.
"Xiaoyu, this is peanut candy, it's delicious. Our family grows the peanuts ourselves, here's a piece for you!" Gu Xin said as she peeled off the oil paper for Cheng Huaiyu.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian had already told Gu Xin that the Cheng family's youngest daughter was two years older than her, but she couldn't speak and wasn't like the normal children in the village.
Gu Xin peeled off the oil paper and fed it to Cheng Huaiyu.
Cheng Huaiyu's eyes were a little dazed, but since the food was already in her mouth, she still ate it.
She eats habitually, just like when someone feeds her at home.
"Little sister Xinxin, what did you feed Yu'er? Yu'er is smiling." Cheng Huaijin, who was pretending to be a little adult, took a moment to look at his little sister and then asked in surprise.
"Brother Huaijin, do you want some peanut candy?" Gu Xin pulled out another piece of candy.
"I won't eat it. I'm an adult now, and adults don't eat candy," Cheng Huaijin said firmly, smacking his lips.
These twin siblings are only twelve years old this year, but Cheng Huaijin always acts like an adult. In addition to going out to deal with other people's bastards, he also has to take care of his younger sister at home.
From a young age, his mother told him that because he ate all the food when he was in her womb, his younger sister didn't get to eat. As a result, his sister couldn't speak after she was born, and he had to take good care of her.
Children can eat candy, but he's an adult and shouldn't.
"Adults can eat this candy too, have one!" Gu Nian turned around and talked to the children, took two candies from Gu Xin, and handed one to Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Niannian!"
Sister Nian Nian is so kind; she noticed I wanted to eat it!
After Cheng Huaiyu finished eating a piece of candy, her eyes were no longer so confused, and she looked at Gu Xin with her big eyes.
Gu Xin thought the young lady in front of her, who looked like her younger sister, was really beautiful.
She took out a handful of pumpkin seeds from her purse and said, "Xiaoyu, you can't eat too much sugar, it will ruin your teeth. I'll give you pumpkin seeds! I'll peel them for you!"
After saying that, she peeled one and fed it to Cheng Huaiyu. Cheng Huaiyu puffed up her chubby little face like a little hamster.
Gu Xin really adored this girl. She was such a beautiful girl, it was just a shame she couldn't speak properly.
She suddenly wondered if if she gave the girl jade beads to eat directly, would she be able to speak after a while?
"Mom, look at my little sister! She seems to really enjoy being with Xin Xin! I'm so far away from her, and she hasn't even come looking for me," Cheng Huaijin said in amazement after watching her younger sister being fed by an even younger sister for a while.
Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Huaiyu in surprise, then called out softly, "Yu'er."
Cheng Huaiyu was a little slow to react. She paused for a moment before looking at her mother, and then, seeing that her mother didn't say anything, she looked at the pumpkin seeds in Gu Xin's hand.
"Aunt Sun, you and my mother can talk slowly! I'll feed Xiaoyu something, pumpkin seeds, a little bit is good for her." Gu Xin fed Cheng Huaiyu a pumpkin seed and then said to Madam Cheng.
"Okay, okay, thank you Xinxin, thank you Xinxin!" Mrs. Cheng was a little excited. This was the first time her daughter had been close to someone other than her family.
