Chapter 236: Acclimatization



Tian Chengcheng nodded in understanding, chatted with the old lady for a few minutes, and discovered some problems.

Although the old lady's clothes had patches on them, they were washed very clean. It was summer now, but the old lady didn't have any sweat smell on her body. Instead, she had a faint fragrance.

Are people here so clean?

She was a little confused.

"Grandma, did you make all these candied haws yourself? You seem like a very clean person."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.

The little girl is a careful child despite her young age.

"It's hot here, so I have to change clothes several times a day. Especially when I make candied haws and boil sugar, I'm sweating all over. I wash before I go out, so I feel comfortable and so do the people who buy candied haws." The old lady said with a smile.

Tian Chengcheng showed a row of small white teeth.

Why did she feel that the old lady in front of her was not poor?

She came up to the old lady and asked, "Grandma, what kind of sugar do you use to make the candied haws? It tastes like honey. Did you add honey?"

The old lady looked at her clear big eyes and was unable to answer for a moment.

Because I couldn't bear to deceive a child.

"No."

Tian Chengcheng smiled and took out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket. "Grandma, this is chocolate. It's as delicious as candied haws. How about I trade chocolate for a candied haws?"

She was just a little curious and didn't want to expose the old lady.

Everyone has their own privacy, and she has no right to dig into it. Besides, people work hard to earn money, so it is only natural.

"Okay." The old lady smiled and opened the chocolate to eat. "Pick any one you want."

Tian Chengcheng felt that the moment the old lady peeled the chocolate, several people around her were ready to move, as if they wanted to stop her, but the old lady waved her hand and those people did not step forward.

It seems that her intuition was right. This old lady was probably experiencing life.

So she picked a candied haws and left.

Fu Xinhan also noticed something was wrong. Tian Chengcheng left with the candied haws. He gave the old lady fifty cents and picked up two more candied haws. "Thank you."

Then he caught up with Tian Chengcheng and whispered, "It's not like you don't have money, so why are you exchanging chocolate for candied haws?"

"Curious." Tian Chengcheng smiled, but she ran away quickly to avoid him nagging. "Look over there, it looks like they're performing a monkey show."

Fu Xinhan looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

Yang Chongming was just looking around, looking for something fun to do, and didn't pay attention to what Tian Chengcheng said to the old lady. He just wanted the two of them to have a good time.

But to be honest, there's nothing fun to do in this place, except for the monkey trainer.

He hurried to follow.

The three little monkeys were very clever. They lined up to walk on the tightrope, jump through the fire ring, and greet passers-by. After a series of operations, one little monkey beat the gong, and the other two little monkeys each took an iron bowl and started asking for money from both sides.

Some people gave money, but most people didn't. When it came to Tian Chengcheng, Tian Chengcheng gave fifty cents and a candied haws to the little monkey.

The three little monkeys immediately rushed to eat it. They loved the sour and sweet taste.

After finishing eating, he set his eyes on the two candied haws in Fu Xinhan's hand.

Of course Fu Xinhan wouldn't give it and didn't react at all.

Seeing that Fu Xinhan didn't move, the three little monkeys observed for a while and then snatched one away.

Fu Xinhan got angry instantly and was about to hit the little monkey with another candied haws.

Tian Chengcheng grabbed him and said, "They are beasts, forget it."

This child who doesn't suffer any loss is really——

Fu Xinhan let it go, but he looked at the three little monkeys with an unfriendly look. He threw the last candied haws on the ground and stepped on it.

He can give, but he cannot tolerate others snatching what he has.

Even animals are not allowed!

Seeing Fu Xinhan was angry, Yang Chongming tried to smooth things over. "Hanhan, don't be angry. I'll buy you two more when I get home." After coaxing Fu Xinhan for a few words, he looked at the monkey's owner and said, "Keep an eye on your monkey. It's okay if it snatches some food, but it's not good if it hurts the child."

The monkey's owner was a businessman. He hit the monkey twice with a bamboo stick and said, "I'm sorry, this monkey gets jealous when he sees delicious food."

Fu Xinhan didn't say anything, his face still looked very grumpy.

Tian Chengcheng quickly pulled him away, "Brother, let's go back."

"Okay." Yang Chongming took the two of them back and did not forget to buy two more candied haws for Fu Xinhan on the way.

But when the three of them got there, the old lady selling candied haws was nowhere to be seen, and even her stall was gone.

"This is too fast." Yang Chongming muttered helplessly, glancing at Fu Xinhan's dark face, thinking it was just a child's temper, and coaxed him a few more words, "Hanhan, don't be angry. When I see candied haws tomorrow, I'll buy you another one."

Fu Xinhan still said nothing.

Tian Chengcheng came up to him and said, "Brother Han, Senior Brother is talking to you, why are you ignoring him? It's so rude!"

Fu Xinhan then said, "No, I don't like candied haws. I bought that for Fubao."

He had no obsession with candied haws. He just bought two more because he saw that Fubao liked to eat them. Unexpectedly, one was snatched away by the monkey. Although the other one was not snatched away, the monkey touched it. Of course, he would not give Fubao anything that had been touched by the monkey.

That's why I'm angry.

"Brother Han, candied haws are sweet. You can't eat too many, or you'll get cavities."

After hearing her say this, Fu Xinhan's expression finally looked better.

Yang Chongming realized that it was better to offend Hanhan than to offend Fubao.
