Chapter 199 Ding Ding Candy (2)

Ruan Jie poked his head out of the unsealed window and shouted to the vendors outside: "Wait a minute, we want to buy candy."

"Okay." The merchant responded, stopped, raised his head and looked at the building in front of him, his eyes shining. In such a magnificent building, there must be rich people living in it.

Everyone ran down and saw an old man in his fifties or sixties standing in front of the building, carrying a pole on his shoulder, with baskets on both sides covered with white cloth.

When the old man saw a group of children coming down, he quickly opened the cloth on the basket, revealing the tin candies inside.

This was the first time Ruan Jiaojiao saw it, and she looked around curiously.

The old man saw that she was cute, pink, and dressed much better than others, so he pinched a small piece of loose candy and handed it to her, smiling and saying: "Try it, little one, and see if it's sweet or not."

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and said thank you, then took it and put it in her mouth. She tasted the sweetness and thought it tasted good.

"Give me three cents... no, fifty cents!" Ruan Jie stretched out five fingers and said domineeringly towards the old man.

After saying that, he took several boys from the Ruan family aside and asked in a low voice: "I only have two hairs on me, do you have any on me? I'll pay you back when I go back."

Ruan Chi and Ruan Feng nodded, and each took out a dime from their pockets. The little fat man also took out a dime, which just made up to fifty cents.

Ruan Chi said: "You don't have to pay it back. I'll buy candies for my sister."

Ruan Feng also echoed.

The little fat man was afraid of missing the opportunity to show his loyalty, so he kept nodding his head.

Ruan Chi was not surprised when he saw this, because his family was indeed like this. When he had money, he would think about buying delicious food for his sister. This was a habit formed over many years.

He handed the collected money to the old man selling candy: "Grandpa, give us fifty cents."

"Okay." The old man began to hammer the candy with a small hammer. It was rare to meet such a generous little guest.

The few people nearby who had change also started to buy candies, asking for two cents or five cents. Those who had no money could only swallow their saliva secretly, staring at the candies without blinking.

The old man weighed the tin candies that he knocked off. When he felt they were not enough, he added a few smaller pieces and then wrapped them in two candy wrappers.

"Grandpa, please help break it up a little so we can divide it easily," Ruan Jie said.

The old man glanced at the brothers, nodded, opened the package and knocked it a few times, breaking it into many small pieces, and asked him, "Is this done?"

Ruan Jie responded, received the candy wrapper, and handed the first piece to Ruan Jiaojiao: "Sister, eat it."

There is no need to greet the other boys, they will take it automatically.

Ruan Jiaojiao sucked her lips as she ate, feeling that her teeth were sticky, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

After each of the Ruan brothers ate a piece, Ruan Jie saw the other children around him looking eagerly at the paper bag in his hand. He frowned, wrapped one of the untouched candy wrappers, and placed it on Ruan Jiaojiao's chest. In the arms: "Sister, take it back first, let the milk be collected, and you can eat it slowly later."

"Haha, the young man really loves his sister." The old man was still weighing candies for others, and he joked with a smile.

Ruan Jie replied: "Of course, my sister is the treasure of our family."

The old man chuckled and thought these brothers and sisters were quite interesting.

Ruan Jiaojiao was still struggling with the candy sticking to her teeth in her mouth. After hearing this, she just nodded confusedly and walked out holding the candy wrapper. Ruan Jie was worried that she would go back alone, so he sent the little fat man to follow her.
