Chapter 46 Milk flavor, we eat candy together
Zhou Nanyue pressed the courtyard door with one hand, and held the iron box containing White Rabbit toffee in the other hand, handing it to Yun Xiaotang.
He is taller than the three children. Although he is thin, he is extremely powerful.
Over the past year or so since he was reborn, he has grown a lot taller and his health is much better than before.
Every night after returning home from grazing the cows, he would drive wooden stakes in the yard and practice boxing. Even though his arms and legs were bruised and purple, he was in pain and happy.
He didn't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness again. He needed strength to protect himself and... the people he wanted to protect in the future.
In the past few days, taking advantage of the winter leisure, he had been wandering around the mountains and caught a lot of good things.
After that, he carried those good things to the black market in the town, sold those things, and exchanged them for money and tickets.
When we were at the supply and marketing cooperative, a father and daughter were coming in to buy things. The little girl kept clamoring with her father to buy White Rabbit toffees.
The father couldn't bear the fuss of his precious daughter, so he took out the money and tickets from the briefcase in his hand and bought a box of toffee.
The two men were well-dressed and looked like they belonged to wealthy families in the city.
He stared at the box of milk candies subconsciously, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the little girl noticed him, glanced at his patched clothes, raised her head and "hummed" at him, and rolled her eyes at him extremely arrogantly.
"What are you looking at, you poor bastard?"
After saying that, she took the iron box of White Rabbit, held her father's hand and left the store.
Zhou Nanyue didn't even glance at the girl, and showed no reaction to her rolling eyes and contempt.
He took out his money, bought a box of White Rabbit toffee, and put it in his arms.
...
Yun Xiaotang looked at the toffee handed over by Zhou Nanyue in surprise.
This is the White Rabbit toffee from the 1960s, and it’s a full box. There are two cute little rabbits printed on the tin box.
This is a "luxury product" in this era, more expensive than meat.
Yun Xiaotang thought to herself, how long must this kid have been saving up to buy such a box of toffee?
But at this moment, he actually wanted to give her this box of toffee.
Why is this kid so stupid?
She was stunned and didn't take it.
Zhou Nanyue was not in a hurry and just stretched out his hand.
After stretching out his hand for a while, seeing that the child in front of him was still stunned, he simply put the tin box into her hand.
"Take this and go back. Consider it a thank you gift for bringing you food."
The clear voice reached her ears, and Yun Xiaotang finally reacted, only to feel that the tin box in her hand was hot to the touch.
She can't take it!
The food they gave him was to thank him for saving his life, not to mention that the toffee cost several dollars.
This is not possible!
"Brother, we can't take this candy. You can keep it for yourself."
Yun Xiaotang grabbed Zhou Nanyue's sleeve and wanted to return the candy to him.
The more Zhou Nan refused to answer, "You can take it home. If you don't go back, it will get dark."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaotang looked up and saw that it was getting dark.
She looked at Zhou Nan with a more insistent expression and finally opened the tin box.
There were neatly packed candies inside. She picked out a few and gave two to Zhao Tian'er, two to Xiao Ping'an, and two to herself.
Then there were still four pills left, which were stuffed into the cloth pocket, ready to be returned to my sister and Aunt Dou.
Zhou Nanyue stood there, watching the child's movements of distributing the candy, without saying a word.
After dividing the sugar, Yun Xiaotang closed the lid and returned the remaining to Zhou Nanyue.
"Brother, let's eat these milk candies together. The milk candies I brought are enough for everyone in our family. You and Grandma Chen, and - and that aunt - can eat the rest."
Yun Xiaotang glanced at the woman who came out of the room at some point and hid behind the door of the hall, staring at them.
Zhou Nanyue glanced at the woman expressionlessly.
Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Xiaotang, who had bright eyes. Seeing that her eyes were full of seriousness and determination, she finally took the tin box.
"Okay~ let's eat together."
Yun Xiaotang smiled instantly, her eyes curved into a crescent shape.
This smile revealed small teeth like rice grains.
The front teeth she had replaced before now also have a small tip.
...
On the way home, Xiaopingan kept looking at the candy in his hand.
She wanted to eat, but she also knew that she would eat with her grandma when she got home.
When she got home, Yun Xiaotang took out the bowl in her pocket and the White Rabbit toffee.
Zhao Tian'er and Xiao Ping'an also placed the toffee in their hands on the table.
Ten milk candies were neatly placed on the table, and there seemed to be a milky fragrance in the air.
Zhao Xueer and Dou Hongxia looked at the candy on the table in surprise, "Where did this candy come from?"
Yun Xiaotang quickly replied, "Big brother gave it to us."
Zhao Xueer sighed inwardly, but that family was absolutely unwilling to take advantage of other families.
It was clear that life was difficult, but just because they had given me some food, they still gave me these candies.
This candy is not cheap, and it’s hard for them.
Yun Xiaotang didn't know what her sister was thinking at the moment. She peeled off the candy and was about to feed it to her sister, "Sister, you eat the candy."
Zhao Xueer opened her mouth subconsciously, and the fragrance of sugar and milk filled her mouth.
Yun Xiaotang peeled off the candies and fed them one by one, "Aunt Dou, eat the candies."
She knew that if she didn't feed her, her sister and Aunt Dou wouldn't eat sweets. They always left the delicious food to the little ones first.
When it was Ping An's turn, Ping An was very happy. She had been waiting for a long time, ate the candy in one bite, and smiled happily.
Zhao Tianer chewed the candy and narrowed his eyes happily.

Zhou Nanyue took the White Rabbit toffee tin box back to the main room and placed the box on the table.
He opened the box, took out a candy and ate it.
My brows couldn't help but wrinkle. It was too sweet and too greasy.
He doesn't like sweets, or in other words, he doesn't like sweets.
Probably when he was a child in his previous life, he liked to eat sweets.
But at that time he wanted to eat but couldn't. Later, even though he was able to buy a candy factory, he no longer liked candy.
He gave the box of candy to Mrs. Chen, then walked to the corner of the yard and started driving the stakes.
...
At night, Yun Xiaotang was lying on the bed, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
She still remembered that what she was wearing was a novel, and her sister was the heroine in the book.
Then...could that eldest brother be the supporting actor?
Look, these are all from the same village. Giving food to each other is just the beginning of getting to know each other.
However, when she first read the book, she didn't read it carefully and only remembered the main characters and some plot trends.
Is this eldest brother just a male supporting character, so there is no plot?
Yun Xiaotang thought wildly, and suddenly thought of her sister's official match, the male protagonist of this book, and her future brother-in-law.
It will be several years before the male protagonist appears.
She hopes that her sister can be more relaxed, be less tired, and live happily with her future brother-in-law.
Then give her some cute little nephews to play with.
Hey hey hey...
