Chapter 5



The taste of toffee suddenly exploded in his mouth. It was an indescribable taste, much better than the candy wrapper he licked!

He didn't dare to lick it too hard, for fear that the taste would disappear too quickly, so he ate it carefully.

Chu Xia didn't mind not getting Cen Huaian's answer, and took him to the stall not far from the department store.

There was a man selling clothes there, and the styles were very novel.

Chu Xia was picking clothes when she heard a voice from beside her: "Sweet."

The voice was not loud, still childish and a little hoarse.

Chu Xia looked down at Cen Huaian in surprise, thought about it, and realized that he was answering her question just now. She was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't this reaction arc a little too long?

But Chu Xia didn't say much, and gestured to him with the clothes she liked, "Do you like this one?"

Cen Huaian always said "um" without any big emotional reaction.

Chuxia didn't ask him and made her own decision.

No matter how careful Cen Huaian was, he still finished the candy in his mouth. He savored the taste of the candy and thought it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

He glanced at the cloth bag on Chuxia's body, which contained the candy, and licked his lips: I really want to eat another piece.

But he just glanced at it and continued to stare at the shoes in his arms. He didn't even react when Chuxia gestured to mark his clothes.

Chuxia chose this stall to sell clothes of good quality, not those casual roadside stalls.

The stall owner was a young man, wearing a straw hat on his head and squatting under the shade of a tree. The clothes were hung on hangers and there were also a pile of them on the ground. His service attitude was much better than that of the salespersons in department stores.

Chu Xia watched him smiling brightly with his big white teeth showing all the time. No matter how the buyers asked, how they wanted to try, or how they bargained, his smile never changed, and he kept saying nice things, which made the buyers smile happily. He sold several pieces of clothes at once.

He noticed that Chu Xia had picked out several pieces of clothes, and walked over to ask, "Sister, are there any clothes you like? Don't worry about my clothes, they are all carefully selected by me in Yangcheng, and none of them are bad."

Indeed, when Chu Xia buys clothes, she first looks at the style, and then the quality. She touched several pieces of clothes, and the texture of each piece of fabric was not bad.

So she quickly picked out two pieces for Cen Huaian and herself.

She picked out a white long dress with a small V-neck. The collar was not a simple V-neck cut from a piece of cloth, but a V-neck that overlapped like a collar and had some slight folds. The hem of the skirt was also pleated, and the tail swayed slightly in the wind, looking casual and generous. It would not be outdated even in the future. Chuxia fell in love with this skirt at first sight.

The other set was a loose-fitting sky blue and white vertical striped shirt and a pair of jeans. Of course, she didn't buy bell-bottoms, but classic ones. The ones she

bought for Cen Huaian were very simple, a navy collar blue and white striped T-shirt, a round neck Chinese red T-shirt, and two pairs of knee-length shorts in different colors.

Chuxia bargained with the stall owner. She bought a lot, and with the bargaining skills she learned in her previous life, these clothes cost more than 30 yuan in total.

The main reason was that her skirt was more expensive, and children's clothes were the cheapest.

The clothes stall owner packed them in paper bags, and Chuxia remembered that she and Cen Huaian also needed to buy clothes inside.

The vendors outside were still not that bold, so Chu Xia went back to the department store to buy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xia turned to the vegetable market and bought three yams, a small native chicken sold by an old farmer in the suburbs, and a pound of flour, millet, and rice.

She couldn't even carry all these, so she didn't buy much else and waited to come back tomorrow morning when the vegetables would be fresher.

Cen Huaian had become numb from watching Chu Xia buy things, but on the way back, his eyes never left the chicken.

Chu Xia was very tired carrying all these things, so after getting off the bus, she and Cen Huaian walked and stopped, and it took them twice as long to get home as it did when they left.

The first thing Chu Xia did when she came back was to sit on a chair and rest. She was so tired, and this body was so fragile. She even felt a little headache.

"It's so hot and thirsty. An'an, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Chu Xia fanned herself and looked at Cen Huaian.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Chu Xia regretted it. She saw that Cen Huaian would not help her. It was more like hating her.

So she immediately said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself later."

Unexpectedly, Cen Huaian stood up and ran to the kitchen to get a bowl, took out the kettle from under the table, poured a bowl of water, and then carefully placed it in front of Chu Xia.

"Here you go."

His face was still cold and resistant, and his tone was not good.

Without waiting for Chu Xia to speak, he ran into the room and never came out again.

But Chu Xia saw out of the corner of her eye that the tips of his ears were a little red, and he smiled, took a sip of water, turned around and said loudly to the direction of the inner room: "Thank you, An An! The water is so sweet!"

Cen Huaian covered his head with a pillow in the room, and felt that his mother's smile outside the room was so annoying.

He didn't forgive his mother, he just, just for the sake of that toffee.

She was so weak, if he didn't pour her water, she might not be able to drink water until the evening.

But he himself didn't notice that the gloom on his face and the hedgehog-like thorns on his body were less.

Chu Xia was indeed thirsty, and she felt better after drinking a bowl of water.

The house was not big, only about 20 square meters, and it was divided into two rooms. The outer room was the living room, which was filled with various things, and the inside was where she and Cen Huaian slept.

The headache was still there, Chu Xia couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up and went into the room. She saw Cen Huaian lying on the bed, raised her hand and patted his back, which frightened him so much that he jumped up and the thorns on his body immediately stood up.

Seeing that it was Chu Xia, he didn't let down his guard, but his body was not so tense anymore.

At this time, Chu Xia didn't have the energy to comfort him, so she said to him, "I'll take a nap", pulled open the quilt and lay down on the bed.

When she woke up, Chu Xia opened her eyes and met a pair of exceptionally large eyes like a wolf cub, which frightened her heart so much that she jumped suddenly.

Covering her chest, she remembered that she had already traveled through the book.

She rubbed her head and slowly sat up, and found that the room was already very dark. The curtains in the inner room were drawn and the lights were not on, otherwise she would not have been frightened by Cen Huaian's big eyes.

"You haven't been out to play?"

Cen Huaian stood up and walked out without saying anything.

He would never say that he sat in the house all afternoon, putting his hand under his mother's nose from time to time.

Chu Xia herself didn't know that her face was extremely pale when she slept, even her lips were colorless, which was particularly scary.

But even though Cen Huaian didn't speak, Chu Xia smiled, knowing that he must have been watching over her the whole afternoon.

Originally, Chu Xia wanted to buy chicken to stew Chinese yam, Poria cocos and native chicken soup, but now there was no time, so she could only choose something simple to make first.

She and Cen Huaian had weak stomachs because they had been eating one meal a day and then eating another, so she cooked Chinese yam, red dates and millet porridge, and made some scallion pancakes.

When she was making pancakes, she found that she had forgotten to buy eggs, so she wanted to buy a few from her neighbor, Sister Li.

Who knows that the person is so enthusiastic, saying that two eggs are free, Chuxia prepared the pancakes and sent two to Sister Li's family.

"Chuxia, you are too polite. These pancakes are delicious! I smelled them just now when I was in the house. Now we are in for a treat."
