But right now, the sun was slowly setting.
Looking around, both groups of children had sold all of their ingredients.
Much smoother than the adults had anticipated.
The next task was to use the money from selling goods today to buy a gift for their own fathers and mothers.
The four children picked and chose through the market.
And they happened to et at one spot.
It was a small stall selling sugar-coated hawthorns.
When Xingxing and He Bi arrived at this place,
Xia Ye and Tangtang had just co out.
One of Tangtang’s hands was held by Xia Ye, and in the other, she held a string of sparkling sugar-coated hawthorns.
Tangtang was also very happy to see Xingxing and He Bi.
She waved her sugar-coated hawthorn: "He Bi brother, Xingxing sister, look, this is the candy hawthorn Xia Ye brother bought for ."
Xingxing glanced at Xia Ye and then walked into the candy hawthorn shop herself.
He Bi followed.
Xingxing looked around inside,
Gazing at row upon row of crystalline fruit sweet skewers, inhaling the sweet scent in the air.
Finally, she couldn’t help saying, "I want to eat a candy hawthorn too."
He Bi boldly took out a banknote from his pocket, stood on tiptoe, and slapped it on the counter: "Boss, I want to buy a candy hawthorn."
The boss ca over with a beaming smile,
And muttered with a chuckle: "I just saw two little tykes leave, and now here co another two. Do parents nowadays have such peace of mind? Not afraid of such lovely kids being kidnapped."
But while saying this, he had already taken the money and asked, "Little one, which skewer of candy hawthorns do you want?"
He Bi said, "The biggest one."
So the boss took out a gigantic strawberry candy hawthorn.
He Bi took the candy hawthorn and presented it to Xingxing like a treasured gift.
Xingxing said, "Thank you, He Bi brother."
Just as she was about to reach out for it,
Xia Ye had unknowingly co in.
He swiftly snatched the candy hawthorn from He Bi’s hand,
And then said sternly to Xingxing, "You can’t eat sugar, have you forgotten?"
Even He Bi was startled.
Although Xia Ye is not the oldest among all the children,
He always acts like the big kid.
But usually, he speaks evenly and steadily, without much emotion; he doesn’t laugh out loud nor does he lose his temper.
At first, He Bi always tried to interact with Xia Ye.
But eventually, he found him incredibly dull, like a rock.
He had never heard him speak with such a stern tone before.
Xingxing’s gaze fixed firmly on Xia Ye’s face,
Gradually, her expression turned aggrieved.
Xingxing didn’t want to join this show at the beginning at all.
Back then, she was locked at ho by her mother; even though she had plenty of food and toys, she couldn’t see anyone.
The people at ho all called her "young lady," but she didn’t like that feeling.
She always wanted to go ho.
She also missed Xia Ye brother dearly.
Later, her mother let her join this program, saying that she could see Xia Ye brother.
She agreed happily.
She was originally delighted, for not only did she see Xia Ye brother but also Yangyang auntie.
But Tiantian auntie wouldn’t let her talk to Yangyang auntie, nor to Xia Ye brother.
Otherwise, she would not get any food to eat.
Moreover, Tiantian auntie also said that actually, Xia Ye brother didn’t like her at all and told her not to stick to Xia Ye brother like a band-aid.
Although she didn’t know what a band-aid was, she also knew it must be sothing undesirable.
In fact, she didn’t like Tiantian auntie at all, as she was always forced to call her mommy.
She didn’t want to call her mommy at all.
