Chapter 318 Aren't you one?
Chunhua's family, whether they are adults or children, all look very healthy, especially the children.
Her fair and delicate appearance didn't look like someone who had fled from famine at all.
Whether it's Xiaochunhua or Huaduo, they didn't suffer much on the way, and the meat they raised in Gujia Village hasn't shrunk much yet.
Seeing the fair and tender appearance of those dolls, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, saying that they probably couldn't find such beautiful dolls in the entire Yangjia Village.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and they were no exception. Some people were delighted to see the little spring flower and waved to the little girl.
"Come here, little one, come here."
Hearing the noise outside, Xiaochunhua turned around and pointed to herself, asking, "Auntie, are you calling me?"
Aunt Ge outside nodded: "Yes, I was calling you. Come over and let me take a look."
While saying this, Aunt Ge was still surprised. They were all people who had fled famine, so why was there such a big difference between them?
Look at that family, they're all fair-skinned and delicate-looking, they don't look like people who have fled famine at all.
Xiao Chunhua obediently went to Aunt Ge and asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just saw you, little baby, and you're so adorable that I couldn't resist taking a closer look."
Being liked by others is a happy thing, and neither adults nor children would refuse it.
Xiao Chunhua was happy to hear someone say they liked her, and she smiled at Aunt Ge. Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Aunt Ge, "Auntie, wait here for a moment..."
Then he turned around and ran back, and when he came out he was carrying a potato in his arms. Yes, he was carrying one in his arms.
The potatoes she was carrying were a bit too big for both hands to hold, so she had to hold them in her arms and carry them out.
Aunt Ge had never seen this before and didn't know what it was, but seeing that the little girl was having some difficulty carrying it, she took it from her.
Then the little girl said, "Auntie, this is for you. Take it home and cook it secretly. It will fill your stomach."
For Xiaochunhua, potatoes are the best thing right now—hot, delicious, filling, and easy to put in her bag.
Hearing this, Aunt Ge was startled. Knowing that what she had was edible, she quickly returned it to Xiao Chunhua.
"Why are you giving me this? I like you, not your stuff. Take it back now, or someone will see it."
Aunt Ge told Chunhua to take the potatoes back quickly, but little Chunhua wouldn't listen: "Auntie, these are for you, you don't need to take them back, Mom knows..."
"Oh dear, my little darling, now that your mother knows, you absolutely must take it back. This is for filling your stomach, how can you just give it away like that?"
"If you give this to me, what will your family eat? What will you use to fill your stomachs?"
"Listen to your auntie, take it back quickly, hide it, and have your mother cook it for you tonight."
One person was stuffing things out while the other was pushing them in; neither of them was taking anything. Lin Cai happened to see this scene when she came out of the house.
Approaching the two of them, he asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Ge had never met Lin Cai before. Seeing how young Lin Cai was, she thought she was Xiao Chunhua's older sister, so she said, "Young lady, you'd better keep an eye on this little girl. Look, she's already giving away her own things."
"Right now, food is the most important thing. Filling our stomachs is the priority. How can we just give away something so important? Take it back right away..."
As soon as Aunt Ge finished speaking, she handed the potato to Lin Cai. But as soon as she handed it over, Xiao Chunhua said something that almost made the potato drop in fright.
"Mother, I already told Auntie I wanted it, but she didn't want it. Maybe I took too small a piece? But this is the biggest one in there!"
She was telling the truth. That potato in the bag was the biggest one; she had spent a long time picking it out.
When Aunt Ge heard what Xiao Chunhua said, she looked at Lin Cai in surprise: "You're a little girl's mother?"
Lin Cai smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am this girl's stepmother."
"What she gave you is what she gave you, and there's no reason to take it back. As long as you don't mind."
"Oh dear, what are you saying? It's so big. Although I don't know what it is that can be used to fill an empty stomach, it's definitely enough."
"I've seen so many people and things with these eyes that sometimes I can't help but take a second look at something pretty. Today I saw this little girl and she got such a big piece of food. How could I possibly complain?"
When Lin Cai heard Aunt Ge say she didn't mind, she told Aunt Ge what the dish was called and how to cook it. After listening, Aunt Ge nodded repeatedly and said okay.
This was such a rare thing; she had never seen anything like it in her life, much less heard of anything that could keep her full even more than coarse grains.
Grandma Ge happily went home with the potatoes in her hands. Near dusk, she visited the Gu family again.
She had a basket hanging in her hand, covered with a cloth, and no one except Aunt Ge knew what was inside.
Passersby, seeing this scene, couldn't help but ask, "Oh dear, it's so late, Aunt Ge, where are you going?"
"Going to deliver food to that good-for-nothing Wang Yong again? What are you doing delivering food to him? He's not your own son. It's just a waste."
Aunt Ge didn't deny it, but after hearing what she said next, she couldn't help but say, "That boy lives there all by himself, and there's not even a piece of salt in the house. What if he starves to death if we don't keep an eye on him?"
"Besides, although he was a bit of a troublemaker, the whole Yangjia Village became quieter because of him. If it weren't for him, would we still be able to get by?"
Upon hearing this, the passerby fell silent, chuckled, and left. Aunt Ge rolled her eyes and spat on the ground.
"Pah! You call others ungrateful wretches, but aren't you one too?"
"A bunch of heartless bastards! If it weren't for Yongzi, would Yangjia Village still be living like this?!"
After cursing a couple of times, feeling a bit better, Aunt Ge picked up her basket and went to the Gu family's house.
Lin Cai and Huani had already prepared dinner, and Gu Jiao'er was also helping in the kitchen, but the kitchen was a bit small and simple, which was really inconvenient.
