Shen Shuyu asked the brother and sister to come into the house to drink water. The brother and sister wanted to run away, so Shen Shuyu held their hands and they were willing to come into the house.
He was very reserved when entering the room. "Teacher Shen, our shoes are dirty. Why don't we take them off?"
But when they thought about how their feet weren't very clean either, both brother and sister blushed.
"No need to mop. Cement floors are meant to be walked on. There's no need for slippers."
"Just sit down, don't be polite, just treat this as your own home."
Shen Shuyu poured two cups of sugar water. The brother and sister were thirsty, so they picked up the bowls and drank from them. After taking a sip, they felt a sweet taste in their mouths and realized that it was sugar water.
They haven't had sweet soup for a long time. They only make half a bowl of sweet soup during the Chinese New Year. Saccharin is expensive, so they are only willing to make a little bit. In fact, it is not sweet at all.
Now that they were drinking such sweet syrup, the brother and sister squinted their eyes happily and drank the syrup in small sips.
Shen Shuyu took out a plate filled with peanuts, melon seeds, biscuits, and fruit candies and said, "Eat them. Finish these before you go back."
Chen Meini shook her head like a rattle, "Teacher Shen, leave these for Xiaoze to eat, we can just drink the sugar water."
"Xiao Ze can't eat these yet. If you don't eat them, they will go bad."
Chen Sheng looked at his brother and didn't know how to refuse. It would be a waste to give them these good things. They didn't need to eat such good things at all.
Shen Shuyu peeled a candy and stuffed it into Chen Meini's mouth. It was the first time for Chen Meini to eat fruit candy. Her eyes curved into crescents. "I didn't know fruit candy was so delicious. Brother, I've eaten fruit candy before. I don't need to be curious about what fruit candy tastes like anymore."
Chen Sheng blamed himself for being incompetent and not even being able to afford to buy some candy for his sister. He forced a smile and said, "It's delicious. Eat two more."
From now on, he will be responsible for all the firewood for Teacher Shen's family.
Shen Shuyu's nose felt sore when she heard this, and she handed Chen Meini a biscuit, "Try this biscuit, it's delicious too."
Shen Shuyu grabbed some candy and biscuits and gave them to Chen Sheng. "Chen Sheng, eat some too. You helped me carry so much firewood. You helped my family a lot. If you don't eat them, how can I accept the firewood you carried?"
Chen Meini handed her brother a biscuit and said, "Brother, eat it. It's delicious."
Chen Sheng took a bite of the biscuit, and his face showed the childishness that he should have at his age. "It's delicious. When my brother makes money, I will buy some for Minnie."
Chen Meini shook her head. "No, no, I'm fine with corn porridge and steamed bread."
Such delicious food must be very expensive, and she didn't want her brother to get hurt just to buy her cookies and candies.
She ate the biscuits and nestled in Shen Shuyu's arms. "Teacher Shen, today is the happiest day for my brother and me. No one has ever been so kind to us as you are."
Chen Sheng corrected her, "Uncle and aunt are also good to us."
Chen Meini curled her lips and said nothing. Her uncle was nice to them, but she had to listen to her aunt. In fact, her aunt didn't like them at all. She always scolded them behind their backs and despised them. Her cousins also always bullied them. If her brother hadn't been there, they would have wanted to snatch the clothes her brother bought for her.
Gu Changfeng and Su Yueru went to visit old comrades these two days, and also took Xiaoze out. Only Shen Shuyu was at home, so the brother and sister would not feel too restrained.
After eating two biscuits, Chen Sheng couldn't sit still and wanted to help Shen Shuyu with the work. However, there was no work to do at Shen Shuyu's house.
After looking around, Chen Sheng went out to put the firewood away. Shen Shuyu wanted to call him back to eat, but Chen Meini shook her head and said, "Teacher Shen, let my brother work, otherwise he will feel bad."
In fact, Chen Meini also wanted to help Teacher Shen with the work, but it seemed that there was no work for her to do at Teacher Shen's house.
Chen Meini ate two candies and three biscuits and then stopped. She touched her stomach and said she was full, so she asked Shen Shuyu to keep some for herself.
How could he be full after eating so little? The child didn't want to eat, and Shen Shuyu didn't say much. She would just pack these for them to take back when they returned.
