This surprised Yunping, who opened her mouth wide: "Wanwan, isn't it heavy?"
“It’s not heavy~ Hahaha—” An Wan said in a childlike tone, holding the two bags above her head.
"Mom, I'm amazing, right? I'm very strong, and I've even hugged Jiayan!"
She deliberately brought this up to make Yunping aware of her immense strength.
"Wanwan is amazing!" Yunping gave a thumbs up, surprised that the little girl she had adopted was so strong.
But it's good that she's stronger; that way, the girl won't be taken advantage of or bullied.
——
Because only one bus goes back to the village each day, departing at 7:00 AM and arriving in the village at 2:30 PM.
An Wan glanced at a Chinese pastry shop as they passed by, and Yun Ping noticed her.
"Wanwan, do you want some? Mommy will buy some for you, okay?"
"Mom, I don't want to eat." An Wan shook her head and then lowered her head to stare at the shoes. Snacks are not cheap, and they don't fill you up.
Although I wanted to eat there myself, I also wanted to understand the local snack preferences so that my plans could be implemented more smoothly.
Market research is still very important.
But she was reluctant to spend money, even just a few dollars.
She only learned last night that the Lu family had incurred a huge debt of 10,000 yuan to pay for Lu Jingxing and his brothers' education and for Lu Jiayan's medical treatment.
The wild boar sold for no more than 300 yuan. Of that, 100 yuan was used to buy daily necessities, and another 100 yuan was used to pay off the interest on the debts, so that the creditors wouldn't rush to collect the debts.
The remaining 100 yuan was for emergencies and to buy medicine for Lu Jiayan.
Seeing how sensible An Wan was, Yun Ping felt very sad.
"Wanwan, if you want something, just say so. What child doesn't like snacks? Don't worry! Mom has enough money to buy you a few pastries."
"Mom, thank you, Mom." An Wan nodded, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.
"Silly child, you don't need to thank your mother." Yunping looked down and met Anwan's eyes.
Gazing at it for a long time.
Her eyes reddened and became wet.
This child must have been brought into my life by God out of pity.
I should be the one saying "thank you" to her.
Because of her, I can smile again and feel incredibly satisfied, as if I'm filled with something warm and safe.
"Which flavor does Wanwan like? We have red bean cake, mung bean cake, and osmanthus cake." Yunping led Anwan to the pastry shop and looked at the delicious-looking pastries in the glass display case.
An Wan carefully looked at the pastries in the cabinet. There were very ordinary red bean cakes, mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, walnut cakes, as well as hibiscus cakes and rice cakes.
They are all very ordinary pastries, and their flavors are suitable for people from all over the country, so they are not particularly special.
"Mom, can I have a little of everything?" An Wan wanted to taste these pastries so she could understand the locals' grasp of sweetness and flavor.
"Okay! Wanwan, I want everything." Yunping was very happy because the child was finally asking her for this and that.
That's the right way!
How can a child resist the temptation of delicious food?
It means that the child has opened their heart to you if they ask you for things.
I spent five yuan to buy six different flavors of pastries, totaling twenty yuan.
The pastry shop owner gave her an extra five pieces. Seeing An Wan's sweet talk, she kept saying things like, "The owner is so young and beautiful," which made her very happy.
Yunping first took out a piece of red bean cake and gave it to Anwan to eat.
An Wan offered the red bean cake to Yun Ping's lips, but Yun Ping wouldn't eat it, and neither would An Wan.
This is her true feeling.
During this time, I could clearly feel Yunping's care and concern for me.
The heart, once deeply hurt by parents in a past life, seems to be slowly melting from its frozen, numb state.
