When she was still some distance away from the village chief's house, Li Mengyue heard someone calling her.
"Sister Yue, Sister Yue."
Looking towards the source of the sound, she saw a lively and cute little boy running towards her.
"Zebao, be careful."
When he saw Zebao, the grandson of the village chief, he remembered that he had not brought food for the child, so he hurriedly started looking for it in the space.
When Zebao ran to her, she had already taken out a string of candied haws and a box of snacks bought from Babaozhai.
The candied haws were bought in the town when she took Mingyu and Minghao shopping for her father's medical treatment. When her two younger brothers were not paying attention, she bought all the candied haws that the vendor was carrying.
There were dozens of strings of candied haws. He ate one string from time to time. There was only one string left, which he had snatched from Tuanzi.
They also bought quite a few snacks from Babaozhai. She and Tong had just arrived in town and wanted to try some authentic ancient pastries. After discussing with each other for a while, they bought all the pastries made by Babaozhai that day.
Two months later, she still remembers the look the waiter gave her, and the curses of the people queuing behind her when they learned that all the cakes in the store had been bought.
But I can enjoy the meal to my heart's content and I can also tolerate the strange looks from others.
What disappointed her was that although the pastries at Babaozhai tasted good, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
With the same ingredients, she can make the food taste and look better.
So she tried a few and didn't eat much. The rest were eaten by Tuanzi from time to time, and there were not many boxes left.
"Zebao, this is the candied haws that your sister bought especially for you. Come and eat it quickly!"
"Wow! Sister Yue is so nice."
Zebao knew that Sister Yue had saved him twice, so he felt very close to Li Mengyue and picked up the candied haws to eat.
Just as it was about to reach his lips, he stopped and said excitedly, "Sister Yue will eat first, then Zebao will eat later."
"Be good, Sister Yue has already eaten, this skewer is for Zebao."
After hearing Sister Yue's affirmative words, Zebao carefully took a small bite, slowly savoring the sweet and sour taste of the candied haws, reluctant to swallow it.
It took a long time for Zebao to finish one candied haws. He held the rest in his hand and stopped eating.
"Why, Zebao, don't you like to eat?"
"No, Sister Yue, the candied haws are sour and sweet and delicious. But Zebao has already eaten one, so the rest should be left for grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, uncle, and sister."
Look at how well-behaved and filial Zebao is. When he sees something he likes to eat, even if he wants to eat it, he will try his best to hold back and leave it for his family.
Li Mengyue felt that the village chief's family had very good education.
"Okay, leave it for your grandparents, daddy, mommy, uncle, and sister. Then can Zebao bring Sister Yue to your house?"
"Sister Yue, is that true? You want to come to my house. Let me tell you, grandma has wanted you to come to my house for dinner for a long time, but you are very busy, sister." Zebao said with his head drooping, looking a little aggrieved.
Indeed, Grandma Li invited her to dinner at her home three times, saying that she wanted to thank her for saving Zebao.
However, she declined all of them. After all, Zebao was drowning, and she only knew how to rescue drowning people. What's more, Zebao had a good relationship with his two younger brothers.
When Old Lady Li wanted to sell his two younger brothers, Zebao also hurriedly went to find an adult.
Although it was her intervention that saved her brother from being sold, Zebao's help in finding someone was also a favor, and she would never forget it. She would certainly not ask the village chief to do something for her family without any compensation in exchange for the favor.
"Zebao, don't be unhappy. When your sister is free, come to your house for dinner, okay?"
