As soon as Liu Guilan left, Xiaoshan went to get a sickle, saying, "Auntie, I'll help you cut pig feed!"
Ogawa puffed out his little belly and said, "I'll help too!"
Ye Weiwei found it amusing and pretended to take a handful of fruit hard candies wrapped in colored paper from her pocket, but actually took them out of her spatial storage and gave them to the two children.
She found these fruit candies in a restaurant warehouse when she was collecting supplies in the apocalypse. They weighed about 20 pounds, and she found them yesterday while sorting through supplies.
The colorful wrapper around the fruit hard candy has no writing on it, so taking it out won't cause any trouble.
"Candy!" Xiaoshan stared wide-eyed at the colorful and pretty candies in Ye Weiwei's hand, his eyes sparkling.
Xiaochuan swallowed hard. "I want some candy."
After saying that, she reached out her little hand to take it.
Xiaoshan grabbed his younger brother's hand and pulled him aside. "No, Grandma said we can't take things from other people."
As he spoke, he glanced reluctantly at the candy in Ye Weiwei's hand, shaking his head and saying, "Auntie, please put it away. My brother and I don't want it."
Although Xiao Chuan was drooling with desire, he listened to his older brother and shook his head when his brother said no.
Ye Weiwei was surprised that the two little ones were so sensible at such a young age, and that they couldn't even be tempted by candy.
You have to understand that in those days, you needed sugar coupons to buy brown sugar. Most rural families couldn't afford to buy even a pound of brown sugar all year round, let alone candy.
Ye Weiwei rubbed her eyes, pretending to be sad: "You were calling me 'Auntie' just now, but now you treat me like an outsider. You won't even take the candy I offered. I'm so sad."
Seeing that Ye Weiwei looked like she was about to cry, Xiaoshan immediately said, "Auntie, don't be sad. My brother and I will each take a piece to sweeten our mouths. You should put the rest away so no one can see them."
After saying that, he took two pieces of candy from Ye Weiwei's hand, giving one to his younger brother and one to himself.
Ye Weiwei watched as the two little ones carefully put the candy into their pockets but didn't eat it, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you eat it?"
The two of them had such a strong desire for candy that she assumed they would immediately stuff it into their mouths as soon as they got it.
Xiaoshan answered seriously, "Grandma said that if someone gives you something, you have to take it home and show it to her before you can eat it."
After saying that, Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and looked at Ye Weiwei apologetically, "Auntie, could I give three more to Sister Xiaochun and Sister Xiaxia and Sister Xiaoqiu, one each?"
Ye Weiwei's heart melted at the sight of the sensible child. She put all the candy in her hand into Xiaoshan's pocket, and then took out a handful and put it into Xiaochuan's pocket. "Take it all and share it with your sisters when you get back."
"I don't need so many, just give me three more!" Xiaoshan held up three little fingers.
Ye Weiwei patted his head, "Auntie has plenty more here. Don't worry, just tell Grandma I gave them to you when you get back, and she won't be angry."
Hearing Ye Weiwei say that, Xiaoshan accepted the gift with relief and gave Ye Weiwei a big smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
Xiao Chuan tightly covered the pocket in front of his belly with his two little hands, his eyes sparkling, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't be shy, ask your aunt for more after you finish eating."
Ye Weiwei told the two little ones to sit and play on the side while she started cutting pig feed.
As a result, the two little ones remembered their grandmother's words and insisted on helping.
Helpless, Ye Weiwei could only speed up her work to finish as soon as possible and take the two children home.
"Wow, Auntie, you're amazing!" Xiao Shan exclaimed in amazement as Ye Weiwei cut a large patch of pig feed in just a short time.
Xiao Chuan gave a thumbs up, "Auntie is amazing!"
Ye Weiwei also gave the two little ones a thumbs up, "Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan are also very capable, smart, sensible and competent!"
The three of them praised each other while working, bustling about enthusiastically.
When Huo Xiao arrived, he saw this scene. Seeing his little girl wielding a sickle with great enthusiasm, and recalling the warm and soft touch of the night before, his throat went dry.
"Uncle!" Xiao Shan looked up and saw Huo Xiao. He quickly pulled his younger brother to stand up and reported to Huo Xiao in a proper manner, "Uncle, Auntie gave my brother and me a lot of candy."
After saying that, he stretched out the bag of candy to show Huo Xiao while looking at Huo Xiao cautiously.
Huo Xiao, with a stern face, asked seriously, "Did you thank your aunt?"
Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan immediately replied, "We told them."
Huo Xiao nodded. "Let's go home first."
Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and ran off with his younger brother.
Ye Weiwei watched the two little ones run off into the distance. "Do you often bully them? How come you scared them like this as soon as you arrived?"
Huo Xiao coughed awkwardly and took the sickle from Ye Weiwei's hand. "Go and rest over there."
Ye Weiwei was indeed a little tired, but not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.
Her mental power level was still too low. It was okay to influence a few pheasants and rabbits, but it was too far-fetched to use it on people. She had exhausted all her power today and only managed to influence Ye Wanwan for a short while.
Huo Xiao was a skilled worker, and he quickly finished the task assigned to Ye Weiwei, which was originally Ye Weiwei's daily workload.
Having finished her task ahead of schedule, Ye Weiwei doesn't need to go to work this afternoon.
The two went to hand in their tasks and record their work points. Ye Weiwei was about to return to the educated youth settlement when she heard Huo Xiao say that Liu Guilan had invited her to her home for lunch.
“My mom went to find someone to choose an auspicious date. You’re going to write a letter to your elders about the wedding, right? You can write it in my room after dinner, it’ll be quiet.”
Seeing that she had already come up with a reason, Ye Weiwei blinked her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Do you miss me? Don't you want to be apart from me?"
Huo Xiao's breath hitched. His little girl was as straightforward and bold as ever. He looked down at Ye Weiwei's rosy lips and felt a sudden dryness in his mouth.
Seeing that Huo Xiao didn't speak, Ye Weiwei poked his chest with her finger, "Isn't that right?"
Huo Xiao suddenly grabbed Ye Weiwei's mischievous fingers, his voice low and hoarse, "Stop fooling around, it won't be good for your reputation if someone sees this."
"So, does that mean it'll be fine if no one sees us?" Ye Weiwei scratched Huo Xiao's palm with her fingers, startling him so much that he immediately let go and muttered, "Let's go home first!"
Ye Weiwei was secretly delighted to see that the guy's neck was red with embarrassment. How could a grown man be so easily embarrassed!
It always makes her want to tease him!
On the way, Ye Weiwei ran into Hou Zheng and asked him to tell her that the educated youth would not be having lunch at the designated spot. Then she went home with Huo Xiao.
As soon as the two arrived at the Huo family home, they heard the sound of children crying and being beaten and scolded.
Today it's Sun Hongying's turn to cook.
When she got home early, she saw her five children sitting around the table sharing candy.
The colorful, pretty candies in the middle of the table made her eyes water. Without saying a word, she grabbed them all, peeled one open, and popped it into her mouth. The sweet fruity flavor filled her mouth, a taste she had never experienced before.
