Chapter 570 Heartache
"Grandma, we don't need much today, just about 150 kilograms will be enough." Shen Qingqian stepped forward and said with a smile.
The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed. She pointed at a baby that looked only about three years old and said, "Then go buy it from his family. His grandparents are almost starving to death at home."
The little kid immediately squeezed in front of Shen Qingqian, looked at her awkwardly and said, "Sister, can I lead the way for you?"
He asked cautiously, fearing that Shen Qingqian would go back on her word.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Shan exchanged a glance, then naturally took the little kid's hand and stuffed a handful of candy into his hand. "Of course you can. Come on, share these candies with everyone first."
This candy was given by the system when signing in. It tastes much better than the ones you buy. Shen Qingqian unpacked it and put it in the system warehouse so that she can take it at any time.
Seeing the looks of these children, she felt sad and gave them some candy to sweeten their mouths.
If white sugar can really be produced successfully, she will buy all the sugarcane in Shangyang Village to help them get through this difficult time.
As for the future, we’ll talk about it later.
The children were so happy when they got the candies. Some of them ate them right away, while others ate half of them and saved them for tomorrow.
He took the little kid Shen Qingqian with him but didn't eat his own piece.
"Why don't you eat?" Shen Qingqian asked him.
The little kid replied, "I'll take this back to Grandpa and Grandma. They haven't eaten for two days. They'll definitely be able to get out of bed after eating some candy!"
Shen Qingqian felt sad again and quickly gave him a few more candies, "You can eat them, I still have some."
"Thank you, sister, but my mother said that I can't ask for too much of other people's things. You have already given me one." The little kid looked at the candy eagerly but did not reach out to take it.
Shen Qingqian was speechless, and at the same time she admired the adults in this family. How could they have taught their children so well? Even at this time, the children still remembered the adults' teachings.
"It's okay, sister likes you very much. This is a reward for leading me." Shen Qingqian rubbed his head, feeling distressed for his understanding.
Compared to them, our situation is much better.
After hearing this, the little kid happily took the candy, but he only took a bite and then kept it.
I only heard him whisper: "Leave some for my parents too. They gave me their food, so I want to give them some candy too."
Now even Shen Shan couldn't help but sigh, "They are too miserable."
Shen Qingqian was dejected. This was the way the world was. When the country prospers, the people suffer, and when the country perishes, the people also suffer.
The two of them soon arrived at the little boy's house. Before they entered, they heard bursts of heart-wrenching coughing coming from the house.
"Grandpa, grandma, someone is here to buy sugarcane!" the little kid shouted happily and rushed into the house.
"Don't come in, you little brat! Your grandfather coughs so badly, don't let the infection spread to you." An old lady's voice stopped the little kid in his tracks.
Shen Qingqian sighed inwardly, quickly took out a cloth mask from the cloth bag and put it on. As he raised his foot, he turned back and said to Shen Shan, "Third brother, don't come in. It might be tuberculosis, it's contagious. I'll go take a look."
"Sixth sister" Shen Shan frowned and wanted to call her, but Shen Qingqian had already entered the house.
The little kid also wanted to go in, but Shen Shan thought of Shen Qingqian's words and quickly pulled him back, "Sister is a doctor, don't go in."
"Really? Sister, can you cure my grandpa?" the little baby asked with his big innocent eyes.
Shen Shan didn't dare to make a promise casually, and only said: "Let's wait first."
