Chapter 144: Suspicion in the Village
Sheng Mingzhu looked funny at the same time, but also couldn't help but feel sad, put the bowl in his hand in Liuli's hand, took two steps forward, and gave them two pieces of halva in the palm of his hand.
This is still halfway before, Liuli was worried that she would be bored, so she forced it into her, she didn't like candy, so she kept it.
"Why is it just the two of you, your mother?" Sheng Mingzhu squatted down and said curiously.
"My mother is out, and I'll be back in a while." The older brother replied. He held the candy in his palm, his mouth unconsciously swallowed saliva, and the younger brother next to him couldn't hold back the corner of the halva and licked it in his mouth.
The sweet taste filled their mouths, and they were reluctant to eat it all at once, but slowly licked it with their tongues little by little, tasted the sweetness, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's so sweet, it's delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious sugar, thank you, sister."
Seeing this, Sheng Mingzhu took out a few pieces of candy from his arms and put them in the palm of their hands, "Don't be reluctant to eat, sister still has it here, is there no one in the village?" Why is it so quiet? ”
"It's cold, it doesn't come out, so much sugar, do you really have to give it to us?" The eldest brother looked at it stupidly for a long time, and couldn't believe it, now that he is old, he almost digs out the roots in the field and eats it, and the sugar water is all luxury things, not to mention such a few pieces of halva.
"My sister doesn't like candy, so I'll give it to you."
"Why doesn't my sister like such delicious sugar? I like to eat, I like to eat a lot of sugar, but I remember only eating it once when I was very young, and I had to put away such delicious candy and eat it with my mother when I came back. ”
Childish words, extraordinarily endearing.
"What a good boy?"
Sheng Mingzhu smiled, and was just about to stand up, when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the box where many bits and pieces were placed in the room, and there was a pear blossom wood comb sandwiched in the scraps, Sheng Mingzhu's heart jumped.
The pear blossom wooden comb looks inconspicuous, but it is by no means an ordinary thing, the fine lines on it are all from the hands of skilled craftsmen in Beijing, and most importantly, it also has the logo of the Seven Treasure Pavilion on it, which should not appear here in any case, and it appears in this courtyard.
"There is a famine everywhere near the county seat this year, what do you eat on weekdays, and do you still have food in your home?"
"There is food, but very little, I am so hungry, I am so hungry every day, my mother said, if the government does not give us food to eat, we will all starve to death, sister, are you a big official, are you here to send us food?"
"My sister is not an official, but I was passing by here and encountered some trouble, and I just happened to see that you have Zhuangzi here, so I came to rest."
"Sister, you are so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful person as you, even if Sister Li of the village chief's family wears such beautiful clothes as you, she is not as good-looking as you." The skinny younger brother licked the candy and said casually.
"Sister Li of the village chief's family is wearing clothes that are as beautiful as mine?" Sheng Mingzhu was surprised in her heart, and continued to ask quietly.
"Yes! I went to the village chief's house with my mother a few days ago and saw that Sister Li's clothes were very good-looking, but I saw them secretly. ”
