Lin Xuanjiao, who was exchanging pig feed with the child, had no idea that such a lively event had happened in the village that afternoon.
"Sister Lin, I gave the candy you gave me to my mother, but she didn't want it."
Lin Xuanjiao looked at the child who was talking. She couldn't remember the child's name for a moment, but she still smiled gently: "That must be what your mother wanted to save for you to eat."
"Sister Lin, my mom asked for it, but she wanted to give it to us half each. The candy tastes delicious, even better than fruit candy. Sister Lin, have you eaten it?"
Lin Xuanjiao turned her head to look at the child who was talking, but she had no impression of this child in her mind. Perhaps these two children were more introverted and had never spoken before, which led to Lin Xuanjiao not knowing their names.
But this didn't stop Lin Xuanjiao from pretending to know the child. She looked at the child with a smile and said, "Of course I ate it! There's more to come later!"
The children today seemed to be particularly enthusiastic. I don’t know if it was because the milk candy was too powerful, but they all kept pestering Lin Xuanjiao to talk. As soon as Lin Xuanjiao finished replying to one, another came. She looked very busy.
Erdan looked at his chattering friends and felt his mood turn sour. Are these people really as bad as they used to be? Why would a brother come to compete with him for Sister Lin?
Especially this Ergou. Erdan stared at his other little friend with a particularly unfriendly look. This Ergou didn't even know how to be careful. His body was almost sticking to Sister Lin and he was about to hug her.
This action made Erdan particularly unhappy, after all, he had never hugged Sister Lin before! Erdan thought that he had the best relationship with Sister Lin among the group of friends, so he had to be the first to make intimate moves with Sister Lin.
After all, Sister Lin had wanted to hold his hand before! Erdan thought about what happened before and wiped his hands on his clothes again to make sure there was no dirt. This time, before going out, he specially washed his hands with his mother's soap. He should not feel so uncomfortable holding Sister Lin's beautiful hands with his washed hands.
Thinking of this, Erdan moved closer to Lin Xuanjiao, and accidentally pushed aside Ergou, who was almost next to Lin Xuanjiao.
Erdan looked at Lin Xuanjiao with a pitiful face and said, "Sister Lin, my parents ate my candy and didn't even let me smell it. My little heart is broken."
Seeing Erdan's aggrieved look and considering what he said, Lin Xuanjiao laughed without hesitation and ruffled Erdan's hair with her hand. "It's okay. Sister Lin will give you another candy later. Don't give it to your parents this time."
Erdan nodded obediently and raised his hand in front of Lin Xuanjiao: "Sister Lin, won't you hold my hand? I washed my hands with my mom's soap this time, and they smell delicious."
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Erdan's expression, which showed his unconcealed anticipation, and felt amused. However, she also reached out to shake Erdan's hand, "Erdan is so cute today!
When Erdan saw that Lin Xuanjiao was holding his hand, his little face flushed with excitement. Sister Lin was holding his hand. Sure enough, he was the most favored child by Sister Lin here. Otherwise, why would Sister Lin only hold his hand and not anyone else's!
Ergou saw Erdan's hand being held, and he was about to make a move. Just as he was about to move, he was stopped by Erdan with a glare. Forget it, let Erdan do it this time! After all, this kid's hits are very painful.
Erdan was very happy that Ergou was scared away by just a glare from him. He thought that this kid had good eyesight and knew when not to move.
Lin Xuanjiao didn't notice the quarrel between Erdan and Ergou at all, and even if she did, she wouldn't have thought it was related to herself.
After holding Erdan's hand for a while, Lin Xuanjiao let go. Although Erdan was a little disappointed, he did not force it. After all, he was the only one holding Sister Lin's hand, and that was enough.
Lin Xuanjiao let go of Erdan's little hand and reached into her small bag to take out some candy. "I'll give you another new kind of candy today."
Several children yelled in unison. Looking at these children, Lin Xuanjiao felt that her desire to share was satisfied. Giving things to others and being praised in this way only made people feel happy.
Perhaps because she was with a group of children, Lin Xuanjiao's way of speaking became much more childish. "Ding ding ding, this is peanut candy, it tastes so delicious."
When the children saw the candies that Lin Xuanjiao took out, they jumped and danced with excitement, happily shouting the three words "Sister Lin", as if they only knew these three words.
Lin Xuanjiao smiled and distributed three candies to each child, namely fruit candy, White Rabbit milk candy, and peanut candy. The children held the candies tightly in their hands as they were afraid that they would accidentally lose them and go home crying for their parents.
Erdan stared at Lin Xuanjiao with sparkling eyes, unable to conceal the admiration on his face. "Sister Lin, you're amazing! You actually have so much candy! I'm afraid no one in our village has more candy than you."
Lin Xuanjiao burst out laughing and tapped Erdan's little head. "When you grow up, you can buy this much candy too. Maybe you can even buy more candy than Sister Lin!"
"Really?" Erdan was excited at first, then his tone turned a little sad. "But I still have a long time to grow up! I don't know how many more years it will take."
"So you have to study hard when you are young!"
"Study?" Erdan felt his scalp tingling when he heard these two words. At his age, he had already been sent to the primary school in the brigade by his parents, but the contents were not as attractive to him as picking up bird eggs.
But his parents paid for this elementary school. If he didn't study hard, the golden sticks (a kind of tree branch) at home would beat him to a pulp. Thinking of this, Erdan felt his butt hurt again.
He frowned and said, "Why should I study? It's a waste of money."
"How can it be a waste of money? For example, if you go to school, at least you can read. Then when you go out, you don't need the waiter to tell you what dishes you want to eat. You can just look at the menu yourself."
Taking into consideration that the children were still young, Lin Xuanjiao did not give any profound answers and just answered with words that the children could understand.
Seeing that some of the children still showed some resistance, Lin Xuanjiao decided to change their minds and asked, "Do your parents know how to read?"
"Yes, my parents went to first grade and know a few words."
"My parents never went to school and can't read a single word, but they're really good at counting money."
