But the smell made him crave the potato chips. When he overheard Fang Shigen mentioning that he had a penny, he asked Fang Shigen to buy them.
"Didn't you say you didn't care for potato chips, Brother Dong?"
"Just buy it because I tell you to, or do you want to get beaten up?"
Fang Shigen had no choice but to obediently go and buy it.
The two of them ate a serving of potato chips in a corner, then looked at each other awkwardly and looked away.
The village children had never eaten anything rare before, and for a moment they felt that their taste buds had been stolen by this thing.
Even when I got home, I kept thinking about this thing while eating and sleeping.
Fang Shigen only gets a penny when his mother is in a good mood. If he asks her for money to buy potato chips, she'll probably beat him to death.
But he couldn't resist his cravings.

Fang Shigen hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to ask for the things back.
"Shigen, buy another one tomorrow."
"No way! I took the money secretly today. If my mother finds out, I'll be dead!"
"What are you afraid of? Since your mother hasn't found out today, she won't find out tomorrow either."
"I dare not..."
"Ha, you're afraid of your mother, but aren't you afraid of me? If you don't buy me this tomorrow, I'll call someone to teach you a lesson!"
Fang Shigen didn't dare to say anything more and could only shrink back and agree.
