Chen Jia immediately asked: "What do you want? I'll give it to you!"
Xu Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Boss Chen is so generous?"
Chen Jia waved his hand and smiled even more happily: "It's not that I'm being generous, I just want to express my gratitude to you!"
It seems that he has made a lot of money from insecticides during this period.
Xu Xingchen didn't refuse any more and said straight to the point: "I want to buy some peanut seeds for planting."
"That's easy, I'll have the guys get it!"
Without saying a word, Chen Jia immediately asked his servant to go to the warehouse to get the best seeds.
The guy took two full bags.
Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue went to check together and found that the seeds were plump. They nodded with satisfaction and said, "These seeds are good. We bought them. Boss Chen, how much are these?"
Chen Jia waved his hand: "What money? Just take it. No need to pay!"
"That's not okay. I feel bad."
Xu Xingchen didn't like owing favors to anyone. Business was about what was due. Seeing her insistence, Chen Jia charged the cost price. After the payment and goods were settled, he walked them to the door again. "Madam Xu, if you make any useful medicine in the future, don't forget me. I won't buy the formula. Let's work together. What do you think?"
Xu Xingchen agreed: "Okay, if I can do it."
Chen Jia immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, and even wanted to send a carriage to take the person away.
However, Xu Xingchen refused on the grounds that he had something else to do.
She and Jun Haoyue went to another part of the market together, planning to buy some more food, and if there were any seeds, they would also buy some.
"The sign in this shop says sesame candy. I'll go check it out."
Passing by a shop, Xu Xingchen saw a notice and was very interested.
Jun Haoyue said: "Go ahead, buy more if you like it." Xu Xingchen walked in excitedly and asked the owner to bring him some sesame candy.
The sesame candy is made by the owner himself. There is nothing to lick, it’s just sugar.
Xu Xingchen broke off a little and tasted it. It tasted good, and he immediately said, "Weigh two kilograms for me."
The shop owner weighed it happily.
In those days, taxes were so heavy that ordinary people couldn't even afford to eat and sleep, let alone buy candy for their children. In her eyes, Xu Xingchen was a big customer! The shopkeeper quickly weighed the candy, wrapped it, and handed it to Xu Xingchen, also giving him two pieces of malt sugar.
Xu Xingchen walked out of the door with the candy. On the way back, she keenly noticed that something was wrong with Jun Haoyue.
Why does this person look like hesitant to speak?
"Do you have anything to say?" she asked.
Jun Haoyue nodded and pointed to the maltose in her hand: "Although candy is delicious, eating too much at one time is not good for your teeth."
That’s two kilograms of sugar, too much.
Xu Xingchen burst out laughing and said, "Who said I ate this? I can't eat so much! I just wanted to share the candy with the children."
She had this idea when she delivered bacon to the children last time, but unfortunately she was too busy to have time.
Now that he finally has time, Xu Xingchen wants to give out some candy to make the children happy.
As they were talking, they had already reached the village entrance.
The adults were chatting under the banyan tree, while the children were joking and playing. Perhaps because the aroma of malt sugar was so tempting, when Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue came over, the children stood up and cast curious and expectant glances at them.
Xu Xingchen waved the sesame candy in his hand towards them and said, "This is full of sugar. Do you want to eat it?"
The children all said in unison: "We want to eat!"
Xu Xingchen gave them a task and called all the children in the village to come here.
The children went there excitedly.
After a while, all the children came and looked at Xu Xingchen with anticipation... the sesame candy in his hand! It was obvious that they were really greedy. Xu Xingchen did not hesitate and divided the sesame candy into small pieces and handed them to them.
The children were very happy after getting the candies, and some of them even shouted "Fairy Sister" to Xu Xingchen!
Xu Xingchen's face turned slightly red when they called him, but he was happy in his heart.
Sure enough, children are the cutest people in the world!
After she had distributed most of the candies, she turned back home, took her tools, and went to the fields with Jun Haoyue to start sowing seeds.
Just then, two little tails followed behind.
Xu Xingchen turned around and saw Erhu and Xiaodong.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you get any candy?" The two children shook their heads repeatedly, then blushed and pushed each other, seeming a little embarrassed. After a while, Dongdong from Zhou Xiaoniang's family stood up and said, "We are here to help our sister with the work!"
Erhu also said: "Mom said that people should be grateful and repay kindness. We ate sister's candy, so we have to help her!"
Don't underestimate them because they are young, they look very serious.
Xu Xingchen wanted to persuade him but failed, so he just nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
She asked Jun Haoyue to plant the peanut seeds, and she took the two children to the river to fetch half a bucket of water. The children's task was to water the seed pits, but they didn't need to water too much, just half a bucket, which they could handle.
Xu Xingchen was sowing the seeds slowly in front, and the two children were following behind.
Because Dongdong was in better health, Erhu gradually fell behind.
But he was not discouraged, and continued to follow with a stern face. With the diligent help of the two children, the task of sowing peanuts was completed.
"Come here, you two. This is your reward."
She smiled and placed two candies in the children's palms.
The two kids' eyes lit up immediately.
After getting the candy and having nothing new to do, Xu Xingchen let them go play on their own while she and Jun Haoyue packed up and went home. On the way back, she thought of the children and couldn't help but sigh.
"The child is so cute, I want one too!"
Jun Haoyue turned around and said seriously, "I have a plan."
"What method?"
He suddenly moved closer, leaned over and whispered in Xu Xingchen's ear: "If you really want it that much, I can give you one."
Xu Xingchen's face suddenly turned red.
"You rascal!"
She pushed Jun Haoyue away and ran towards her home. Why hadn't she realized that Jun Haoyue had this attribute before?
Is this the same straight man who pushed her against the wall and performed 200 push-ups on the spot?
Xu Xingchen ran back home, poured himself a cup of tea, and only then did he manage to calm down.
At the same time, many scenes emerged in her mind.
She and Jun Haoyue got along well, and after such a long time together, she also felt that he was a reliable person. If, if they were together, life shouldn't be too difficult. She had never been married and didn't know what it was like to be with someone.
Will it be fun, or will there be arguments?
Xu Xingchen supported her chin, her thoughts gradually diverging. In a trance, she seemed to see what she would look like in the future.
