“It’s true, it’s true.” Liu Guixia laughed. She quickly went over to bring the three children over. “What are you afraid of? We’re family, not some random stranger. Don’t be afraid. You’re safe here.”
“Yes, good child.” Xue Dafu patted Xue Gouzi’s head.
Xue Gouzi lowered his head, looking a little timid.
“Ya, there’s really candy!” Xue Xiaobao had already seen Li Hehua cutting the rest, so he immediately ran over, put his hands on the table, and stared at it without blinking. “There’s many…”
He was almost drooling at the candy on the anvil.
Although Xue Dabao was strong, he was much more sensible than Xue Xiaobao. After all, he was older than Xue Xiaobao, and he even knew how to say his thanks to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both shook their heads, indicating that there was no need to be thanked.
When Xue Xiaobao heard his brother thanking the two, he suddenly remembered this matter. He quickly thought of something and also thanked Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. He said happily, “Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, why are you two so kind?”
Liu Guixia and the others were amused.
Xue Xiaobao was already five years old, older than their Jiang Yue, but the feeling he gave them was that he was younger than their Jiang Yue.
After Li Hehua finished cutting the caramels, Jiang Yue quickly covered the caramels with rice flour so that the caramels wouldn’t stick to each other.
Moreover, the rice noodles were cooked and could be eaten now.
Every small piece of caramel was stained with white rice flour, making them look more like flour paste.
However, it tasted good.
Xue Gouzi, who had his head lowered, couldn’t help but steal a glance and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao, on the other hand, didn’t hold back at all, and they couldn’t stop drooling at the candy.
Xue Wufu also couldn’t help but swallow his saliva just like the kids. He hadn’t eaten candy many times in his life.
Jiang Yue noticed that everyone except Xue Yan was staring at it, not knowing if it could be eaten, so she said, “You can eat now.”
“Yay!”
Xue Wu Hu immediately cried out in joy.
“Eat, eat.” Only then did Liu Guixia enthusiastically take a small piece for Xue Xiaobao, Xue Dabao, and Xue Gouzi.
After that, she gave Jiang Yue and Xue Yan a small piece each.
Then, Xue Wufu followed. Although he was 14 years old, he still acted like a child.
Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan were next. Both Hehua and Hongyan needed to be nourished.
As for the others, Liu Guixia wasn’t in a hurry to have a taste. Instead, she took four small bowls that she had prepared earlier and placed them on the side. She filled each small bowl with small pieces of caramels coated in rice flour. Each small bowl was filled to the brim.
Afraid of the candy sticking, she also scattered some fried rice noodles on the surface.
The three small bowls were for Dabao, Xiaobao, and Gouzi to express her gratitude, and the other small bowl was for Xue Da.
After she was done, she saw that there was only a small bowl left. She grabbed a handful and walked to the side of the courtyard wall. She placed a stool on it and shouted towards Chunmei’s house on the other side of the courtyard wall.
“Yes? What’s the matter?” Chunmei replied as she quickly walked out of the house.
“Come, come, give this to your child.” Liu Guixia stretched out her arm.
When Chunmei’s eyes saw past the wall of her own courtyard, she subconsciously took the thing. Seeing that it was a handful of white and pink caramels, her eyes immediately widened.”Where did you get the good stuff? No, no, no, that’s too expensive. You have a child at home too, give it to her instead.”
