Song Jinxiu quickly peeled the candies and stuffed them into their mouths.
The children laughed so hard that their eyes narrowed into slits, and they quickly covered their mouths with their hands without the help of adults.
They looked around and were happy to see that no one was paying attention to them, then they slowly savored the taste in their mouths.
Song Jinxiu handed the colorful candy wrapper in her hand to Huanhuan, and the little girl smoothed the candy wrapper carefully.
Then she put it in her pocket. She also has a lot of beautiful candy wrappers collected at home!
"Don't just look at it, let's try it too." Song Jinxiu gave one to everyone, even her fourth brother who was driving the carriage in front was no exception.
"We, we don't need it. You can keep it for yourself!" Xiangxiu's third sister-in-law looked at the candy, swallowed her saliva, and handed it to Song Jinxiu.
Their two children have already eaten two, and they themselves are so old, how can they have the nerve to eat more.
"Eat it, eat it. This is what I intercepted directly from the inside! Otherwise, it would be sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves." Song Jinxiu said secretly.
"Here, there are a few left, leave them for them!" Song Jinxiu grabbed a few more candies from her pocket and gave them to Xiangxiu and the other one.
"No, no, you bought this with great difficulty, just keep it for yourself. We can't have it." Xiangxiu and the other girl quickly stuffed the candy in their hands back to Song Jinxiu!
There are workers in her family, and they have bought this kind of candy without tickets before.
But now, the money has to be saved to buy food. After all, we don’t know what will happen next, and everyone wants to buy more food!
The price of food on the black market remains high. After all, the weather this year is still abnormal.
Everyone hides the food they have, as no one wants to go hungry with the money.
So although food on the black market is expensive, it is not necessarily available.
Xiangxiu and her friends still have some savings, but those who have no money are even more pitiful. They don’t even have the chance to stake out the black market.
People from Xiangxiu's family often go to the black market to wait, hoping to buy more food.
Although they can buy cheaper things from Song Jinxiu, they are too embarrassed to ask for it unless it is absolutely necessary!
"Okay, take it. I bought it for the children. It's Chinese New Year now, so what's wrong with eating two candies?"
Song Jinxiu stuffed the candy into their mouths. "I'm not a child, how could I like to eat something so sweet? One every once in a while is fine."
Song Jinxiu didn't lie. She did eat very little fruit candy. She usually ate more White Rabbit milk candy.
She used to buy a lot of Big Rat milk candies, but now she has switched to White Rabbit. After so many years, any candies she takes out will be expired!
I have to eat it slowly by myself, or sometimes help peel it and feed it to An An!
For this reason, she brushed her teeth carefully every day, for fear of getting cavities because of two candies.
There is no such thing as dentistry nowadays. If you get cavities, you will just lose teeth.
The ox cart soon arrived at Chenjia Village. This was the first time Song Jinxiu came to Xiangxiu's home.
Not to mention adobe houses, they are everywhere in rural areas now, and there are even a few thatched houses.
The village was quiet and there were few people on the road.
"Everyone is planning to save some energy now so that they can have something to eat in the spring and cultivate farmland!" Xiangxiu explained.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest are both hard work. In the past, we had to eat three meals a day. But in the past two years, we were lucky to have something to fill our stomachs!
However, if spring plowing is not done properly, grain production will definitely decrease, and due to weather reasons, the harvest will be even less.
Such a vicious cycle.
"The house is a bit simple, please forgive me!" Xiangxiu's fourth brother scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
The ox cart stopped in front of the courtyard gate and a group of people came out of the house.
Leading the way were Xiangxiu's mother and mother-in-law, followed by her father and father-in-law, and then a group of little kids.
Her eldest brother has two sons and one daughter, her second brother has a son, her fifth brother has a daughter, and her sixth brother has twin sons.
My first impression of Song Jinxiu was that she was so thin! My second impression was that she was really thin.
But despite being thin, he still looks in good spirits.
"Xiao Song is here, come in and sit down." Grandma Xiangxiu greeted him warmly.
A group of little kids ran out excitedly, then stopped not far from the door, hiding behind the adults and poking their heads out to peek.
"Call me auntie quickly!" Xiang Xiuniang said to the group of children hiding behind.
"Hello, Auntie!" Although the children were shy, they still called out in unison.
"Good boy!" Song Jinxiu took out some candy from her pocket and said, "Come here, I'll give each of you a candy as a reward."
The little kids' eyes lit up instantly, and they looked at their grandmother expectantly.
Xiang Xiuniang looked at Song Jinxiu, then nodded to the children. "Remember to thank your aunt."
All the little rascals rushed up and stood in front of Song Jinxiu, fearing that if they came too late, the candy would be gone.
The children took the candy, said happily, "Thank you, Auntie!" and then ran away happily.
"I'm so sorry to have to ask you to spend money to have a meal with me!" Xiang Xiuniang said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as the child is happy, that's fine." Song Jinxiu said.
"Come in and sit down first. Why are you standing at the door?" Xiangxiu's father reminded from behind.
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my brain. Come in and sit down first." Xiang Xiuniang led Song Jinxiu and others into the house.
The few of them happily followed their older brothers and sisters out to play!
Several adults went in to see Xiangxiu's fourth sister-in-law.
The eldest and second sister-in-law were making steamed buns in the kitchen. Because Song Jinxiu was coming today, the family specially steamed steamed buns made of three-grain flour.
The two of them are very enthusiastic in the kitchen!
After all, if you make so many, even if you can’t eat them all, your son and daughter can at least get one!
Song Jinxiu met Xiangxiu's fourth sister-in-law in the house. She was a pretty person and didn't look very old.
She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. This fate was truly wonderful. A flower found its nourishment.
"I brought some eggs to nourish you. You've worked hard! Let me see the baby!" Song Jinxiu put the basket on the table and said to Xiangxiu's fourth sister-in-law.
"This, this is too expensive!" Xiangxiu's fourth sister-in-law looked at her mother-in-law.
The family originally wanted to thank Song Jinxiu, but now that the other party has taken something, it feels like they are taking advantage of her.
"This won't do. This won't do. I promised to treat you to a meal. How can I take your things?" Xiang Xiuniang hurried forward and handed the basket back.
“Oh, just a few eggs, just to give the baby some nutrition.
This is my first time visiting you and I don’t know what to bring, so please accept it, auntie.
Stop grabbing it, or it might break!" Song Jinxiu said quickly.
She was so afraid of this etiquette of snatching!
"Well, let me thank his aunt on behalf of the child! Don't bring anything with you when you come to play next time." Xiang Xiuniang was also afraid of breaking the eggs, so she stopped pulling.
