Chapter 322 The First Time Being Treated Like a Child
Gao Mengli pushed open the door and carried out a basket of filled candies: "Freshly baked filled candies, come and have a taste!"
"This is the cored candy?! I've finally waited for it!"
Dou Weiyi didn't stand on ceremony at all, reaching out to grab one and taking a bite.
This stuff is crunchy, with the sweet aroma of malt combined with a unique numbing sensation, sweet but not cloying.
Delicious! This is so delicious!
Dou Wei quickly finished one and then grabbed two more.
When Mengze and the others came out, they saw Dou Weiyi stuffing candy into her mouth like a starving ghost.
They rushed forward to collect sugar from the winnowing basket; any later and they would only have soybean flour to eat.
"Boss, this, this is so delicious!"
Hei Yi truly regretted it; he realized how little he knew when he needed it, and was now unable to describe the deliciousness of the candy.
All I can say is, it's delicious, absolutely delicious!
Other critics also chimed in.
Gao Mengli saw the crowd scrambling for the food, and behind them, two little hands were desperately pushing and shoving.
Unfortunately, being small, he could never squeeze into the inner circle.
Gao Mengli was secretly laughing.
Hahaha, that's hilarious!
"Get out of the way, can't you see there are children?"
Gao Mengli reprimanded them seriously, and only then did everyone realize that there seemed to be a child behind them.
Quickly, make way!
Mu Tiantian was squeezing through the crowd when suddenly there was no space in front of her. She lost control of her body and fell forward with a thud.
"Oh, my daughter!"
Mu Yang was startled and quickly ran over.
"Sweetie, don't rush, try it!"
As soon as Mu Tiantian looked up, she saw Lin Xi holding a candy with a filling and handing it to her.
She stared at Lin Xi, and after taking the candy, her eyes suddenly reddened.
He's just a child after all, and he was so embarrassed that his eyes welled up with tears.
"Hey, hey, don't cry, sweetie, don't cry!"
Gao Mengli quickly put down the winnowing basket, put her hands under Mu Tiantian's armpits, and lifted her up from the ground.
Ah Li stood aside and glared at Meng Ze and his group of black-clad figures.
"You're all adults, don't you know how to be considerate of the children?"
Mengze and Heiyi chuckled and touched their noses in unison.
That's really embarrassing!
"Oh dear, are you alright? Why are you crying like a child?"
Mu Yang's belated arrival only made things worse for Mu Tiantian, as his attempts to comfort her only made her feel more aggrieved.
She was just a child, but her father treated her like an adult from a young age.
Gao Mengli quickly grabbed another candy and placed it in Mu Tiantian's other empty hand: "Tiantian, be good, come and have some candy!"
"Thank you, Auntie."
Mu Tiantian's voice was somewhat sore, a result of the lack of maternal love and the uncertainty surrounding paternal love.
This was the first time she had experienced being treated like a child.
She was still sniffling, but as soon as the candy hit her mouth, she couldn't even bother to sniff anymore, and she couldn't even stop crying.
His face was full of surprise: "This, this..."
With a candy in her mouth, Mu Tiantian's speech was slurred, and glistening tears still clung to her eyelashes, yet her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Seeing Mu Tiantian's expression, Lin Xi proudly raised her chin high: "Hehe, isn't it delicious!"
"Mmm, it's delicious, so delicious! Uncle Lin, your cooking skills truly live up to their reputation!"
Mu Tiantian was very generous with her praise, and words of praise came out of her mouth without hesitation.
Seeing his daughter enjoying her food, Mu Yang also excitedly ate two candies with fillings.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, leave some for me!"
Dou Weiyi was completely oblivious to what was happening here; all he could see was the candy, and he was busy fighting with Hei Yi and the others for it!
Lin Xi shoved a path toward the winnowing basket: "Alright, alright, everyone get out of my way!"
His eldest son at the academy hasn't had any food yet, so they need to save some for him.
The three little radishes from the old house, "Fu Lulin," must be kept. Some must be sent to my aunt's family and my sister-in-law's family, the village chief's family must have a taste, and some must be sent to Master Pang's family.
Lin Xi counted on her fingers, feeling that she had given so many gifts that there weren't enough to go around.
Lin Xi quickly grabbed a handful and placed it in Meng Li's hand: "Meng Li, you eat this. I'll distribute the rest to each family."
Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Dou Weiyi swiftly grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his arms.
He also has Ling'er and "Five Grains Abundant Harvest" at home, and he wants to take them back for them to try.
Seeing his actions, Mengze slapped his lips hard.
"Cough cough."
Seeing Mengze staring at her, Dou Weiyi felt a little awkward: "I have something to do, I'll go first!"
After saying that, he dashed out the door.
"Ah Li, go back to the old house and bring some over there. I'd like to trouble you to make another trip and deliver some to your aunt and the others."
"The rest, Mengze, you take Hei Yi and the others to the village chief, and also give some to Master Pang and the others."
Lin Xi distributed the candies while making arrangements.
After finishing the candy in her hand, Mu Tiantian looked a little disappointed when she saw that the winnowing basket was empty.
"Here, Sweetie, have some!"
Gao Mengli placed all the candies in her hand into Mu Tiantian's hand.
This little girl, whom I've only known for a short time, always acts like a little adult, completely lacking the innocence and naivety of a child.
It's rare to see her childlike side today.
This feeling is like... just like her husband's big cow.
Mu Tiantian looked up, flattered and surprised: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Gao Mengli smiled like an aunt and patted Mu Tiantian's head: "Don't be shy. If you like it, we'll save some for you after we make it tomorrow so you can eat it slowly."
At this point, Mu Tiantian suddenly sat up straight, looking very serious.
This change left both Gao Mengli and Lin Xi stunned.
"What, what's wrong?"
Gao Mengli was a little confused.
It seems like Mu Tiantian is starting to "pretend" to be an adult again.
Mu Tiantian looked up and said seriously, "Auntie, Uncle, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh?"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, then looked at Mu Yang, who was still happily eating a candy next to them.
Seeing the two looking over, Mu Yang was completely bewildered: "W-what's wrong?"
Lin Xi's lips twitched, and she waved her hand, "It's nothing, you can continue."
"Oh!"
Mu Yang continued to eat with his head down, taking small bites since he only had one left.
The food was delicious and unforgettable.
Gao Mengli pulled Lin Xi to sit in front of Mu Tiantian: "Hmm, what does Tiantian want to tell us?"
Mu Tiantian looked at the filled candy: "Auntie, Uncle Lin, the candy you make is unique and tastes excellent. I wonder if you could sell me some of your filled candy?"
Lin Xi quickly waved her hand: "Oh, I thought you were going to say something."
"Sweetie, you're a valued guest at our inn. If you like it, I'll save some for you as a snack tomorrow, and it's free."
Sweetie shook her head: "Uncle Lin, what I mean is, I want all the stuffed candies you make!"
"You want...you want them all?"
Lin Xi was startled and exchanged a glance with Gao Mengli.
This candy is different from other things; it's expensive.
Buying them all wouldn't be something that could be done with just a few taels of silver.
The two of them turned to look at Mu Yang.
"W-What's wrong??"
When Mu Yang noticed that the two of them were looking at him again, he touched his face, somewhat confused.
Could it be that there's something on my face?
