Holding Lu Xiaobing, Zhang Chunxiang smiled and said to Yun Duo, "That's just how your sister Fenghua is, she's always so impulsive. Wait a bit, she'll be back soon." As she spoke, she saw Lu Jiajia come out carrying a box of candy, and Zhang Chunxiang's face twitched involuntarily. However, she didn't say that Lu Jiajia shouldn't have brought the box of candy out with her. She just said to Yun Duo, "Have a piece of candy first, pick a big one."
Yun Duo naturally understood Zhang Chunxiang's implied meaning. However, she had already guessed that everyone was poor and resources were scarce at this time, and things like candy were something ordinary families couldn't afford to eat. Therefore, after Lu Jiajia opened the candy box, she only picked out a very small piece of rock candy, about the size of her little fingertip.
Seeing that Yunduo was sensible, Zhang Chunxiang felt embarrassed and quickly said, "This child, I told you to pick a big piece, why did you pick such a small one?" She then called to Lu Jiajia, "Jiajia, quickly pick a big piece for your aunt." She also coaxed Lu Xiaobing, who kept calling for "candy," saying, "Xiaobing, be good, let's go drink some water first, Grandma will put the candy in the water for you." As she spoke, she quickly walked into the house.
"Okay!" Lu Jiajia replied happily, pointing at the candy box with her little hand, seemingly wanting to pick out the biggest piece of candy for Yunduo.
Yun Duo, of course, wasn't tempted by the candy. She quickly said to Lu Jiajia, "Jiajia, don't be picky. One piece is enough for me. Too much candy will cause cavities in your teeth."
"Huh?" Lu Jiajia's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Yun Duo's words. She covered her mouth with her hand and asked Yun Duo exaggeratedly, "Really? Will eating candy cause worms?"
"Yeah, eating too much will cause worms." Seeing Lu Jiajia's exaggerated expression, Yun Duo couldn't help but laugh, then said seriously, "Eating less will prevent it."
"Then can you check if I have worms in my teeth?" she said, opening her mouth wide and bringing it close to Yun Duo's face.
When Zhang Chunxiang came out and saw this, she quickly stopped her: "Lu Jiajia, what are you doing? Sit down and eat properly. Didn't I ask you to pick out a big piece of candy for your aunt? Did you pick one?"
Lu Jiajia turned to Zhang Chunxiang and said, "Grandma, I'm asking Yunduo to check if I have cavities in my teeth. She said that eating too much candy will cause cavities."
"How does Duo'er know that eating too much sugar will cause cavities in your teeth?" Zhang Chunxiang looked at Yun Duo with some surprise.
She had naturally heard the town doctor say that children who eat too much candy will get cavities, but she hadn't taken it seriously. Candy was just something to eat occasionally, how could anyone eat too much? However, she was quite surprised that Yun Duo knew about this.
Seeing Zhang Chunxiang's gaze, Yun Duo's heart skipped a beat. Afraid of arousing Zhang Chunxiang's suspicion, she quickly put on an embarrassed expression and said, "Well, I've heard them talk about it, but I don't know if it's true..." As she spoke, she twisted the corner of her clothes with her little finger, making a look of anxiety.
Seeing Yun Duo's reaction, Zhang Chunxiang realized she was overthinking things. Maybe Yun Duo had overheard someone say something and remembered it.
After all, I hadn't met her before, so I didn't realize it. But today, seeing how eloquently she spoke, even though I know it was mostly taught by her grandmother, I can still tell that she's a smart little girl.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, feeling that she had been delayed by Yun Youliang and his wife, and a look of pity appeared on her face: "Duo'er is right, eating too much candy will cause cavities in your teeth, but it's okay to eat one or two pieces occasionally, Duo'er, take another one to eat."
