"Candied haws, where can I buy candied haws? Here comes a seller of candied haws."
Chen Yao and Li Zekai, the younger brother of the fourth uncle's family, were playing in front of the fourth uncle's house, when the familiar voice of "selling candied haws" came again. Chen Yao looked at the huge bright red candied haws, which were stained with dripping red candies, and the sweet and sour imagination immediately made her mouth water. While she was staring at the candied haws, her younger brother Li Zekai was already calling for his mother loudly.
"Mom, Mom, the candied haws seller is here. I want to eat candied haws." Li Zekai ran into the house quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw his fourth aunt Xu Fengling being pulled in front of the candied haws seller. It was also a big bicycle of the same size, the front beam was still higher than that of Chen Yao who was not very tall, and a stick holding candied haws was tied on the back seat, and the top was filled with candied haws. There are only five or six holes left on the stick, and it seems that there are not many places where the peddler just left.
"How much is one?" Xu Fengling asked the price while wiping her son's sweat.
"Thirty cents for one stick, fifty cents for two sticks." The peddler responded.
"Mom, let's buy two, it just so happens that my fourth sister and I each have one." The pure Li Zekai blurted out this sentence almost without hesitation, Chen Yao looked at Li Zekai, full of gratitude and joy.
"Damn child, what nonsense. You think your mother is a ticket machine. I have no money to buy it for you. You don't miss your mother, but you have learned to think about others." Xu Fengling was very dissatisfied with her son's words. Yue, while slapping Li Zekai symbolically, glared at Chen Yao. Chen Yao's full of joy suddenly turned into full of disappointment, this look is so familiar. She thought of those two cakes when she was three years old. At this time, the fourth aunt had the same eyes as the grandmother and aunt back then, full of disgust, disgust and contempt.
Chen Yao threw down the spinning top and whip in her hand and started running home. She ran fast, but she tried her best not to shed tears in front of her fourth aunt.
"Here are three hairs for you, and one for me." After the fourth aunt paid the money, Li Zekai got the candied haws and started chasing Chen Yao.
"Fourth sister, let's eat together." Before he could take a step away, Xu Fengling pulled him back.
"Whether you are my son or not, I don't even think about your mother. You pick up the things for me and go home." Xu Fengling severely reprimanded her "ignorant" son, while dragging him home. Although Chen Yao was running, the voice behind her was heard in her ears without saying a word, it hurt the heart of this ignorant child so deeply.
When she was about to run to the door of her house, she saw her father pushing wood at the door from a distance. Dad is always so powerful, he makes everything that is lacking in the house by himself. Now, he is making wooden ladders, so that when harvesting next year, he does not need to borrow other people's ladders to transport grain to the roof. Seeing her father, she suddenly became happy, and ran to her father's side at a faster speed again to watch him work. However, the child's eyes can't hide what's on his mind after all.
"Fourth, what's wrong with you?" Dad pushed the wood, and the rolled wood layer was magically rolled into a roll under Dad's clipper, through the gap of the clipper, and then fell to the ground. Chen Yao went to pick up the wood and rolled it up in her hand to play with. Facing her father's inquiry, she didn't answer, but just shook her head. Li Changqing simply put down the work in his hand, you know, he was always a person who didn't feel tired when he worked, but when he saw his daughter was unhappy, he stopped his hands.
"Fourth, tell Dad if you have anything to do, don't forget, your dad is omnipotent and can solve any troubles." Chen Yao looked at her father's concerned eyes, and suddenly burst into tears. She wiped away her tears for a while before opening her mouth with sobs.
"The fourth aunt bought candied haws for Xiaokai, but she didn't buy them for me, and she didn't let Xiaokai eat them for me." She lowered her head, as if she was ashamed of being greedy for candied haws.
"Fourth, the money belongs to my aunt's family, not ours, so we can't just spend other people's money."
"But, when Xiao Kai comes to our house, Mom will give him my delicious food." Chen Yao's innocent eyes are full of puzzlement and grievance.
Li Changqing didn't know how to explain his sister-in-law's behavior to his daughter, but it was only two cents. He knew that the fourth aunt was too selfish to this seven-year-old child, but she always did. He remembered that all the money he earned was used to build a house for his fourth brother, and they got a house only after they got married. Thinking of this, and looking at how the fourth brother-in-law treats her own children now, Li Changqing no longer cares about it, and at this moment, his mind is stuck in his throat. However, now the money belongs to others after all, and it is her freedom to spend it on her own children. In addition, Li Changqing felt a lot of self-blame in his heart. Because his family was poor, he hardly ever bought snacks for his children. He was indeed incompetent.It is indeed a success, mainly because the sugar color is very successful.
"Eat it, I'll eat this." In order to let her daughters eat more, Yang Yi could only evade with white lies. After all, she is an adult, but children rarely eat snacks, which is also her A little heart for this mom.
Chen Yao simply believed her mother's lies and came to her father again. Li Changqing refused without raising his head.
"You guys should eat more. Dad doesn't like it. Dad has to work. It's too dirty here. You can go back and eat." With the satisfaction of candied haws, Xiao Chenyao didn't care so much. The string of candied haws went back to eat happily with my sisters.
The two most direct tastes of candied haws: sour and sweet, Xiao Chenyao understands them very thoroughly, the sour irony of the fourth aunt, and the sweet love of parents. Together with this candied haws, it is engraved in the memory. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
