Chapter 662: Chapter 667 Little Ghost is Big_1
"These two little ones just have to eat sweets, I couldn’t resist them, so I switched the salt for sugar. How could I possibly open a shop?" Hu’s Clan said modestly.
But she was happy to see that the two girls enjoyed her cooking.
"How will you know if you don’t try? Those folks who float around on the river all day, aren’t they just trying to kill time?"
Qiao Duo’er analyzed the situation, and besides, with the New Year approaching, households in town would also be buying fried goods.
And while other people’s fried goods are all savory, Hu’s Clan’s are caramel-flavored. Just for the novelty of the flavor, people would want to give them a try.
"Mom, just listen to Auntie Four, it definitely won’t go wrong," Er Ya said excitedly.
Da Ya also nodded along. She had complete trust in Auntie Four.
Hu’s Clan was already somewhat tempted, and once the two children spoke, she directly agreed: "Then I’ll give it a try the day after tomorrow. If they don’t sell, I’ll just share them with everyone."
"Aunt Huang harvested quite a lot of seeds this year, you should go ask her," Qiao Duo’er said, winking at Hu’s Clan.
Now that scoundrel Tan Zhengyuan was thrown into jail, it was time for Hu’s Clan’s happy life to begin.
Hu’s Clan blushed and said, "Zhong Zi and I have nothing going on."
She and Huang Zhong hardly had a few conversations, why were they always making fun of them?
"I didn’t say you two had anything, don’t be shy," Qiao Duo’er giggled.
When the two girls went missing, Huang Zhong was busily involved and was a great help.
But at that time, her heart was all on the two girls, with no time to consider anything else. Now, in retrospect, she could only say that there was potential between Hu’s Clan and Huang Zhong.
Da Ya spoke seriously, "Mom, I think Uncle Huang is pretty good, and Big Dog and Second Dog also like playing with us."
Er Ya also nodded; she didn’t want to see her mom struggling so much.
Their life was already tough enough, and with their grandmother stirring up trouble by visiting, if there was a man in the house, their mom wouldn’t be bullied.
"You two are still young. Don’t butt into adults’ matters," Hu’s Clan said, embarrassed, as she stood up and went to the wardrobe to take out two sets of clothes.
She had made these specially for Qiao Duo and her husband.
"You wouldn’t accept the money I offered before, so I made you a set of clothes. It’s just that my sewing isn’t very good; you’ll have to make do," said Hu’s Clan, feeling a little embarrassed but having put a lot of effort into them.
Qiao Duo’er took the clothes with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Lan, I won’t be polite then."
"If you didn’t accept them, I wouldn’t know what to do," Hu’s Clan scolded jokingly.
Qiao Duo and Zheng Hong almost lost their lives trying to help her; nothing she did to repay them would be too much.
But Qiao Duo wouldn’t accept her offer. Hu’s Clan had wanted to give Qiao Duo Twenty Taels which was declined; when she wanted to buy medicine for nourishment, it was Qiao Duo who gave more to her. What else could she do except make some clothes?
However, her skills were far inferior to Qiao Duo’s; she was a little embarrassed to offer them.
Er Ya looked up and said, "Auntie Four, when I can make clothes, I’ll help make some for you too."
"Er Ya, you’re so sweet. But you should make some for your mom first," said Qiao Duo’er, affectionately ruffling Er Ya’s head. Hu’s Clan had done too much for those two children.
Er Ya nodded earnestly, "And for Big Sister, she will help out, and we’ll definitely be able to make two sets of clothes."
"Good girl. After a few days, when the snow stops, I’ll take you to town," Qiao Duo’er said with a smile, finding the two girls always so endearing.
Da Ya and Er Ya immediately shook their heads, and Er Ya said in her baby voice, "You and Uncle Four should just enjoy yourselves. We’ll be fine here and it won’t be as comfortable for you two with us around."
"Oh, you’re quite the little know-it-all, aren’t you?" Qiao Duo’er teased, scratching Er Ya’s nose, marveling at her precociousness.
