Chapter 54: Chapter 054: Xiao’ai’s Snack-Fueled Surge in Popularity
“It really is different in the village, if you don’t have a couple of strong men in the house, it’s just not manageable, unlike in the city, where you all live in small buildings, right? Once you close your front door at home, you don’t have to worry about anyone else’s business. But in the village, it’s impossible to ignore all the aunties and uncles living around you. Sigh, there’s never a peaceful day.”
Peng Sanye hadn’t returned from explaining to the villagers why Su Shu was here to collect things, when Feng Hua started chatting with Su Shu about various matters of the village. Just as they were talking about how early in the morning people from the village had gone hunting in the mountains, they heard thump thump thump as three or four kids ran inside from the door.
The one leading them, Su Shu estimated to be around eight or nine years old, had a dark face with particularly bright eyes. He bounced in with his backpack on, and immediately spotted the milk candy on the table. Feng Hua didn’t have a chance to say a word before her own son had swiped the candy.
Feng Hua cursed, “You little monkey, you’ve got sharp eyes, don’t you? Didn’t you see we have guests? Can’t you greet people?”
The little boy looked up, glanced at Shushu and then at Xiao’ai who was a head shorter than him, and grinned, “Hello auntie, hello little sister!”
Su Shu laughed, he seemed quite cheerful, “Hello.”
...
As for Xiao’ai, of course, she continued to remain silent. (?)
The little boy was quick-handed and in no time had thrown a piece of milk candy into his mouth, while he effortlessly passed the remaining piece to his chubby good buddy, “Here you go!”
“Thanks, bro!” Little Fatty was pleasantly surprised.
Feng Hua pointed at her younger son’s back and scolded, “This little rascal, his craving for sweets is terrible! Sorry for the scene, miss.”
“Not at all, all kids are like that.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the two boys returned, and not only had they come back, but they were followed by a string of little tykes, all staring intently at Su Shu.
Su Shu didn’t understand and looked at Feng Hua for an explanation.
Feng Hua didn’t understand either, “Douzi, what now?”
Douzi grinned and turned to Su Shu, “Auntie, the milk candy just now was so delicious. Do you have any more?”
Su Shu was taken aback and didn’t quite catch on at first.
Feng Hua cursed loudly, “You greedy little thing, I’m going to beat you, is this how you ask for stuff from a guest?”
Douzi ran off shouting, “I’m not asking for it, I have pocket money, I want to buy it from the auntie from the city!”
At this point, Su Shu finally realized what was happening, could it be that the two pieces of candy Xiao’ai had triggered the village children’s cravings? Watching Douzi run while still pulling pocket money from his pocket, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Looking at the dozen or so kids standing nearby, she thought that maybe Douzi liked the taste and wanted to buy some from her to share with his buddies, huh?
That’s quite noble of him.
Su Shu whispered something to Xiao’ai, who hesitated for a moment and then nodded her head after some thought.
So, Su Shu stood up and stopped Feng Hua, “Sister Feng, don’t hurt the child, it’s just a few pieces of candy. I still have plenty in my car, you know, snacks, all kids like them. It’s not easy to buy them here; I do have a few good ones. Wait here, I’ll go get them.”
Feng Hua, feeling embarrassed, hurried to stop her, but Su Shu cheerfully said it was no big deal and headed out to the car to get the “snacks”.
Fortunately, the villagers were no longer as curious about her car as they had been when she first arrived. She opened the trunk, which was usually empty, certainly not filled with snacks. She looked around to make sure no one was watching, then bent over as if reaching for something from the car.
In reality, she was taking out some of Xiao’ai’s snacks from the space.
Looking at the sudden appearance of two or three big bags of snacks in the trunk, not just milk candy, but also all sorts of flavored candies and snacks hard to find in this area, she took out quite a lot.
She had brought many high-calorie foods from the city to Peng Village – some snacks that might even have been grabbed unintentionally or on purpose. While grabbing other items, Su Shu also took out a box of compressed biscuits.
The Apocalypse was coming soon, and keeping some extraordinary items that wouldn’t seem too out of place might just come in handy at a critical moment.
