After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Lin Hao looked at the tanned skin of the acrobats and sighed inwardly.

She said earnestly to the little boy, "They are also very hot, but they are too poor, so they have to come out to perform under the sun. Otherwise, they will have no food to eat and no clothes to wear."

These words overturned the little child's understanding. He never knew that there would be people who worried about not having enough to eat or wear!

"Why are we poor?" He extracted the key words from Lin Hao's words.

"Because their parents didn't leave them enough inheritance, they have to work hard to support themselves!"

"Were your parents poor?" he guessed.

“Yes, their parents were poor too, generation after generation, it’s hard to change!” Lin Hao’s tone also became heavy.

The little boy keenly sensed this change, and he had a vague idea in his mind that his mother seemed to sympathize with such people.

"So, my dear, we must cherish what we have now and not waste it! Because many times, the things we waste are things that many people would kill for!"

The little bun nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Then, Mother, may I give them money as a reward?" He looked at Lin Hao and asked earnestly.

"Of course!" Lin Hao took out a piece of silver from her purse and handed it to him.

"In a little while, Zhu Jing will carry you downstairs, and you can give them this piece of silver, okay?"

The little boy hesitated slightly, looking at Lin Hao: "Should I go?"

"Yes, didn't our darling think their performance deserves a reward? Of course, our darling should go in person!"

The little boy was convinced by her explanation, but he was still a little timid.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said, "Then how about your mother carries you?" Lin Hao didn't want him to back down and decided to give him more security.

"Okay!" Although still scared, the little dumpling said it was acceptable.

Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally asked Zhu Jing to carry him because he thought that since Zhu Jing was a man, the safety factor would be higher!

Since that's the case, let Zhu Jing stay by their side!

Seeing the little boy's somewhat conflicted face, Lin Hao still steeled herself and looked away, not wanting to let all her efforts go to waste!

Just then, Liu Dan and Zhu Jing returned, both carrying candied hawthorns and sugar figurines, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Fu Cui, Zhu Jing, you two get out of the carriage with me. Liu Dan, you watch the carriage!"

Lin Hao, carrying the little bun, walked towards the juggling stall with Zhu Jing and Fu Cui by her side. After arriving, they stood there for a while, and when the performance came to an end, someone came over with tools to collect tips.

The little boy loosened his grip on Lin Hao's neck and handed over the loose silver coins.

The fact that such a small piece of silver was given away immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The man seeking the reward repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Young Master!" He said it several times, and finally, everyone at the juggling stall came over to thank him.

At first, the little boy was a bit scared when he saw so many people, and he clung tightly to Lin Hao's neck, making Lin Hao clearly feel his stiff body. Later, seeing everyone thanking them, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of and gradually relaxed.

Sensing this change, Lin Hao was secretly pleased. Having achieved her goal, she gestured for Zhu Jing and Fu Cui to turn back.

Once inside the carriage, Little Baozi immediately perked up.

"Mother, thank you!" he said, rubbing his hands together excitedly.

"Yes, they're all thanking you!" Lin Kan found his expression somewhat amusing.

The little bun was excited for a while, then gradually calmed down and remembered the delicious food he had just eaten.

"Mother!" He looked at Lin Hao with longing eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Eat it, I bought it for you!" However, because of the hot weather, the sugar coating on the candied hawthorn had melted a bit.

"Eat slowly, be careful when you bite!" Lin Hao reminded him, holding up the candied hawthorn.

"Hmm." The little bun nodded, opened his mouth wide, and took a big bite of the candied hawthorn, but couldn't bite it open.

The little boy stared wide-eyed, not understanding why this was happening.

"Hahaha! Baby, your little baby teeth can't bite through it!" Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Try licking it, melt the sugar coating, and then bite it!" Lin Hao instructed the little bun.

The little dumpling stuck out its red little tongue and licked it a few times. Finding it sweet, it chuckled.

Then he tried to bite it again, and this time he actually managed to bite it, but in an instant, the little bun's face scrunched up!

"Mother, it's sour!" The little dumpling could barely open his eyes!

"Yes! The hawthorns inside are sour, so someone thought of coating them with sugar to balance the sweetness of the sugar and the sourness of the hawthorns, making them taste better!"

"You're too small now, your teeth can't bite them. When you're older, you can eat them together! Then you'll find they're delicious!"

Lin Hao didn't want Xiao Baozi to have any negative association with candied hawthorns, so she explained it to him earnestly.

"Oh!" The little bun didn't want to eat anymore and looked at the sugar figurine next to him.

“You can pick this up and eat it yourself!” Lin Hao noticed his gaze and said to him.

The little boy was immediately delighted, picked up the sugar figurine, and looked at it from the left and right.

"Mother, it's a tiger!" he excitedly shared his discovery with his mother.

"Yes, my darling is right!"

The little bun was even happier, "Can I eat this?"

"Of course! You should try it."

This time, the little dumpling was more experienced. He first stuck out the tip of his tongue and tentatively licked it. When he found it was sweet, his eyes immediately lit up with a smile!

“It’s sweet!” he announced his discovery to Lin Hao.

"Yes, sugar figurines are made of sugar, so they are sweet."

Holding this one in his hand, his gaze was then drawn to the rest.

Liu Dan cleverly picked up the remaining few and showed them to him.

"Young Master, look!"

“This is a dragon!” After saying that, he looked at Lin Hao, and when she nodded, he looked at the next one.

"What is this, Mother?"

“That’s a rabbit,” Lin Hao replied. It seemed the little boy had never seen a rabbit before.

"Rabbit?" The little boy's eyes were full of doubt; it was a name he had never heard before.

"You've never seen one before. We'll buy one someday and let you see it!"

"Okay, I'll buy it!" The little boy said this with a rather bold tone, if you ignored his childish voice.

"Alright, let's put the food down! It's not safe to eat when the carriage starts moving. Let's eat when we get home, okay?" Lin Hao explained the reasoning to Xiao Baozi.

"Okay, let's go home, Grandma and Father together." The little dumpling had already tasted the flavor and wasn't insistent on it.

Along the way, the carriage stopped frequently, pausing whenever they encountered something that interested them, either to buy something or to watch the excitement. In short, both mother and son thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
