Chunniu went to Grandma Wu crying, leaving the adults around her confused.

The children were fine just now, why are they suddenly making a fuss now?

The other children also came over and told the story in a flurry of voices.

Han Huaian protected Han Huaixi and walked at the end.

Han Mingzhu walked a little ahead of them, sniffing the faint fragrance in the air. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it smelled quite pleasant. Sanmao was right, Xiaoxi really smelled good.

Han Qingyun walked up to the three of them, and Han Huaixi burst into tears as soon as he saw Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun picked up Han Huaixi with heartache and couldn't help muttering in his heart, what a hell of a place is this, there's not even some toilet water, he still had to think about what to say next.

Lu Yanyan was boiling water and ran over when he heard the noise.

Grandma Wu was coaxing her little granddaughter: "Chunniu, don't cry. We are older sisters and we won't argue with our younger brother. Our Chunniu is not smelly at all."

Lu Yanyan called Han Huaian and asked him to apologize to Sister Chunniu.

Han Huaian was most afraid of girls crying, so he apologized honestly and then pointed at Sanmao and a few others, asking them to apologize to Han Huaixi, as they had scared his sister to tears.

Sanmao refused: "We didn't say anything, Han Huaixi just smells so good, she must have hidden something delicious... Ouch"

Before Sanmao could finish his words, he was beaten by his father Han Dachuan.

"Isn't it shameful? You just eat and eat all day long, and you even bully your sister. I'm going to beat you to death today, you useless thing."

Sanmao covered her buttocks and ran while shouting, "I'm not wrong, Han Huaixi is..."

"You bastard, how dare you say that."

Han Dachuan grabbed Sanmao's clothes and pulled his ears, asking him to apologize to Han Huaixi.

Han Qingshan quickly stopped him: "Brother Dachuan, don't do this. The child didn't lie, so you can't hit him. Xiaoxi put some perfume on her body today that I brought back from the provincial capital. It smells really good."

Lu Yanyan quickly chimed in, "Yeah, the child was sweating a lot today and she said the sweat smelled bad, so she insisted I put some ointment on her. Little girls are just vain."

Han Huaijin and Han Huaiyu standing by: When did mother get this scented ointment?

Mother Lu: I made the right choice of son-in-law. He must have brought this ointment specially for Yanyan.

Qin Yuru: When did such a good perfume appear in the provincial capital? This one doesn't smell pungent at all, and the scent lasts a long time. She's seen perfumes that disappear soon after application, and you can't smell anything from a distance.

Lu Fugui: I'll have to ask my brother-in-law which store he bought it from. I'll try to get more and sell it elsewhere. This kind of ointment sells well wherever it's sold...

"Ah, it's really not edible?" A bunch of "bad boys" were very disappointed. They didn't know what ointment was, but it was definitely not delicious.

Sanmao finally apologized to Han Huaixi, and Han Huaian took them out to play again.

Han Huaixi refused to go again. She drooped her head on Han Qingyun's shoulder, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Chen boiled a pot of mung bean water and sprinkled in a large spoonful of sugar.

White sugar was a rare commodity in ancient times. As soon as it melted in the pot, the air was filled with sweet fragrance.

Sanmao's dog nose came online again: "Brothers, there is sugar in the air, come with me to find it."

Seeing the furry child running around looking for something sweet, Chen smiled and added some more water and sugar to the soup pot.

Once the water boils, turn off the heat, remove the soup pot and place it in the freshly poured water to chill.

The adults had already noticed that the sweet smell the children were looking for was actually the mung bean soup cooked by Chen, so they quickly went to catch their children.

There are so many children, it would be inappropriate to divide the money among them, but what will Han Qingyun's family eat if they all get it?

The furry kids who were caught were not happy. They just wanted to smell it. They might not get to eat sugar once a year, so just smelling it was fine.

It's another scene where the child is running in front and the father is chasing and beating him from behind.

Chen waited until the mung bean soup was no longer hot, then poured half of it to the Lu family and asked Han Huaijin to take it over. Then she asked the children to go home and bring a small bowl.

The small bowl that Chen mentioned is a wooden bowl specially used by children in this era. It will not break when it falls, is relatively light, has a deep mouth, and is not likely to spill soup, making it very suitable for children.

The children's families naturally disagreed and stopped them from taking the gifts.

Chen said, "It's just this once, today. Let the children have something sweet on their first day out. I didn't cook much, just one spoonful for each. Let them come over."

Chen's words made these people feel embarrassed, but seeing her child drooling with greed, she had no choice but to say to the child: "Hurry up and thank Grandma Han. If you do this again next time, I will break your legs."

The children went home excitedly to get their bowls. Some brought back eggs, some brought back pickles, and some brought back dry biscuits, and Chen accepted them all.

After giving each child a full spoonful of mung bean soup, I counted them and found that Han Mingzhu was missing.

Han Mingzhu wanted to go. She didn't want to eat the mung bean soup, she just wanted to do the same as her friends.

But her third brother wouldn't let her go, saying that grandma had never given them good food before and it was impossible for her to eat it now.

Han Mingzhu was also afraid. Although her grandmother didn't scold her like she scolded her brothers, she basically didn't talk to her. When she saw her occasionally, her expression was indifferent.

If she passed away, it would be so embarrassing if grandma didn't give her food.

Goudan brought the mung bean soup and let his brothers and sisters have a taste. His brothers and sisters were grown-up children and could not ask for food from other people's homes, but it was always okay for him to give his mung bean soup to his brothers and sisters.

Looking at Goudan’s bright eyes, his brothers and sisters just gently took a sip of the mung bean soup in the bowl. Hmm, it’s so sweet!

"Brother and sister have already drunk it, you can drink the rest yourself."

"Brother, take another sip. Sister, take another sip too..."

Many children in the village are like this. They don’t eat alone, but share the delicious food with their older brothers and sisters.

Lu Yanyan was very moved that the atmosphere in Fengye Village was really good.

Zhao Zhiyong and Han Jiali watched Goudan drink and exclaimed "It's so sweet", and silver threads flowed from the corners of the two children's mouths.

Goudan looked at the two children staring at his bowl, then he remembered that Grandma Han asked him to notify Han Mingzhu to serve the soup.

Just as he was about to call Han Mingzhu, he heard Han Huaian's voice.

"Han Mingzhu, why haven't you come yet? Grandma left a big bowl of mung bean soup for you, Zhiyong, and Jiali."

Han Jiali didn't understand what was said, but Zhao Zhiyong turned to Han Mingzhu. Han Mingzhu looked at her third and fourth brothers, and then at her parents.

Zhao He found Han Mingzhu's small bowl and handed it to her. Han Mingzhu walked over with a little trepidation.

Chen took the bowl and asked her, "Why did you come here so late?"

Han Mingzhu looked at the gentle smile on her grandmother's face and felt a little flattered. This kind of smile was only shown to Xiaoxi before.

Chen didn't expect Han Mingzhu to reply, so she filled Han Mingzhu's small bowl with mung bean soup. Han Mingzhu also saw her grandmother scooping a lot of mung beans from the bottom and putting them into her bowl.

"It's too full and will spill easily. Let your sister Huaiyu bring it to you."

"Okay, thank you grandma." Han Mingzhu's voice was light and soft.

"Be good, go ahead."

After Han Huaiyu sent Han Mingzhu back, he also brought back half a grilled fish.

This was the fish Han Qingshan caught by the river this morning. Han Huaiyu didn't want to take it, but her uncle and aunt kept pushing her.

Han Qingyun didn't say anything when he saw the grilled fish. He didn't want to be too distant with this honest elder brother.
