Upon hearing this, all the children present turned their heads and looked at the three children, their eyes filled with envy.

The three children had bought new clothes, and at a glance, they looked very much like the young masters and young ladies from the town, especially Lingbao, who was dressed in a pink cotton-padded jacket with her tied in two buns. There was also a pattern of little rabbits chasing the moon embroidered on her body. She was so beautiful that she looked like a little elf, forming a sharp contrast with the other little girls who were only wearing coarse cotton-padded jackets.

Dumby and Gu Lin were not dressed badly either. Dumby was dressed in a light blue cotton-padded jacket while Gu Lin was dressed in a light green cotton-padded gown. They were also very eye-catching and immediately attracted the attention of all the children present.

“Wow! Lingbao, your clothes are so beautiful! The cotton-padded jacket that my mother sewed for me during the new year is not even half as beautiful as the one you’re wearing.” Lingbao’s little friend, Zhou Xiaohua, came forward, she carefully touched the bunny embroidery on Lingbao’s clothes.

“Hehe, Xiaohua, this is the rice candy that my mother bought for me. Let’s eat it together.” Lingbao was not stingy at all. She took out a few pieces of snow-white rice candy from the oilpaper bag that was stuffed in his pocket, she gave each of her friends a piece.

“It’s a candy that only exists in the town. Brother Lin, did you all go to the town before?” A chubby little boy took the candy and took a bite reluctantly. His eyes lit up as he ate.

Even though it was just a little candy, to the children in the village, it was a delicacy that they might not even be able to eat during the New Year.

“Mmhm, I still have some sunflower seeds and peanuts here. You guys can try them too.” Gu Lin was not stingy at all. He distributed the fried sunflower seeds and peanuts in his pocket to his little friends.

In the past, when their family did not have money, they only ate the candies and small fruits brought by their little friends to satisfy their cravings. Today, they could finally repay their little friends by treating them to some food.

“That’s great. When my father went back, he told me that your family had also eaten stewed meat. Dumby, what is the taste of stewed meat?” Li Dali’s eldest daughter, Li Xiaoyun, asked curiously.

When Dumby heard stewed meat, he was instantly energized and excitedly said, “Stewed meat is especially fragrant! My mother even stewed a chicken for us, as well as spareribs. They’re all very delicious. Our mother is really good to us.”

The children were all very innocent. In the past, they could not even eat a single meal of meat in a year, but Dumby’s mother gave them meat every day. It could be seen that Dumby’s mother was really very good!

“That’s great. I also want a mother who can give me meat.” Zhou Xiaohua could not help but swallow her saliva when she mentioned meat.

“Next time when mother cooks meat, I’ll secretly leave a piece for you.” Lingbao pulled Zhou Xiaohua’s sleeve and whispered into her ear.

Zhou Xiaohua laughed happily and nodded hard.

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted.

“Humph, isn’t it just eating some meat? What’s the big deal? I still have the candied hawthorns my father bought for me. It’s much more delicious than meat!”

All the children turned their heads and looked behind them. They saw a little boy wearing an earthy yellow cotton-padded jacket holding a stick of candied hawthorns in his hand. He walked over with a face full of pride.

The moment the little boy appeared, all the children’s eyes were attracted by the bright red candied hawthorns in his hand.

“Wang Tudou, you’re talking nonsense. Candied hawthorns are not as delicious as meat. You’ve never eaten meat, so you don’t understand,” said Dumby while pouting.
