Shen Yuxiu looked at him shivering while putting on his cotton-padded jacket, and laughed so happily that Shen Yulin rolled his eyes in anger.

"Smile, smile, or you will laugh your teeth out." Shen Yulin trembled and hurriedly put on his cotton pants and jacket while laughing at this little heartless sister.

Shen Yuxiu immediately closed her mouth when she heard this, snorted angrily, turned around and got off the kang to put on her cotton shoes.

In the spring, the two upper front teeth she knocked out had not yet grown back, and the two lower ones fell out again. Now the two new lower teeth have quietly sprouted, but the two upper ones are still missing. Therefore, she is now

She was a talkative and leaked when she drank soup. She didn't dare to speak at school because she was afraid that others would laugh at her for being a toothless woman. However, this second brother knew how to catch her and poke her where it hurts.

Although the winter here is not as cold as that in the Northeast, it is still quite choking at the coldest time, not to mention freezing to three feet. Therefore, the cotton-padded jackets and trousers that Grandma Fang and Fang Yan made for them are very thick.

It was so thick that when the two of them put on cotton-padded jackets and trousers, their arms and legs could hardly bend, and they would not feel pain even if they fell down.

As soon as they had dinner at home, Grandma Fang took two cotton hats she had made, put one on each person's head, and took a cotton muff, hung a pair around each person's neck, and urged the two of them to go to school.

Shen Yuxiu pouted, put on her hat, and put both hands into the cotton cover. Then she reluctantly linked arms and legs with Shen Yulin, waddling like two penguins towards the school.

direction to go.

"Second brother, why didn't you go to school by yourself? You made me suffer the cold with you." Shen Yuxiu complained to Shen Yulin as he walked. The breath he exhaled when he spoke turned into wisps in the cold wind.

White mist of varying lengths.

"You can't blame me for that. If you didn't want the flower coat, I wouldn't have to go to school." Shen Yulin rolled his eyes angrily.

On a cold day, who wants to be dragged out of the warm bed to go to such a shabby school? But seeing someone beside him to suffer with him makes him happy.

Shen Yuxiu was so angry that she groaned. If she had known that going to school would be so difficult, she wouldn't have wanted a flowery jacket. It would be nice to be under the quilt in the winter, but now it's too late to regret it.

As the days of being dragged out of bed early in the morning passed day by day, the two of them actually made it to the coldest month of winter for their winter vacation.

As soon as she returned home from the winter vacation that day, Shen Yuxiu pulled out two papers with eighty-nine and ninety-two points written on them respectively from her schoolbag, and proudly showed them to Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang.

"I'm 92 in math and 89 in Chinese. I'm third in the class, right?" After Shen Yuxiu showed off happily, she took out a colorfully packaged pencil and showed off to the two of them with excitement: "The teacher also gave me a reward.

I have a pencil."

"Wow, that's so awesome!" Grandma Fang responded with praise.

"Has the teacher given you a reward? If that's not possible, then grandpa must also reward you with one." Fang Youshun smiled with wrinkles on his face and asked her: "Just... orange candy, how about it?"

"Okay, thank you, grandpa. I like grandpa the most." Shen Yuxiu was happy and kissed him twice on the face. Grandma Fang looked at him with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows.

"What about grandma? Do you like grandpa the most but not grandma?" Grandma Fang deliberately tensed her face, looking jealous.

"I also like grandma the most. I like grandma and grandpa the most." Shen Yuxiu said, pulling down the grandmother's neck and kissing her twice on the face, making Shen Yulin, who was standing at the door, look at her with greed.

.

Of course, what he was coveting was the orange candies that Shen Yuxiu had not yet obtained.

Fang Youshun looked up and saw him standing at the door looking at Shen Yuxiu with envy. He smiled and stepped forward and asked, "Your sister got third place in the exam. What about you? How many did you get?"

"No. 8." Shen Yulin said with a guilty conscience. In fact, if he had been more serious, he could have been ranked higher, but he didn't know there was a reward at the time, so he wrote it casually.

There are about twenty children in the class, and he, the eighth one, is really not that good-looking.

"Eighth place." Fang Youshun pretended to be profound and repeated the ranking he mentioned, as if he had made a big decision, and said to him: "Since there is a difference of five places between you and your sister, then you should compare.

She needs five orange candies."

Shen Yulin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "I, do I get a reward too?"

"Yes, as long as you get into the top ten, you will be fine." Grandpa Fang nodded firmly.

"Oh, oh, I also have orange candies." Shen Yulin jumped up happily. He didn't care that the orange candies had not been received yet, but there were still a few pieces, and he ran out happily to show off the good news to others.

You know, whether you are an adult or a child, you may not be able to eat orange candies even during the Chinese New Year. But he actually got to eat orange candies just because he ranked eighth in the exam.

Fang Youshun looked at Shen Yulin running away with Huan Ping, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

This kid is just a glutton.

The first thing Shen Yuxiu did during the winter vacation was to lie in bed in the morning. She was clearly awake in the morning but didn't want to get up. She and Shen Yulin were lying on the bed, chattering and laughing. At this time, Grandma Fang no longer lifted the bed sheets.

Now, it’s up to the two of us to get up and eat whenever we want.

There used to be a market in the village next door, but now that several villages have merged, it has become a market for the entire brigade. Every Tuesday and Sunday are the days when the brigade goes to the market, and people from the surrounding villages come in twos and threes.

After Fang Youshun had breakfast, he loaded the baskets and baskets he had made into a tricycle. When the sun came up, he pedaled the tricycle toward the market.

Because everyone in the merged commune eats in the canteen, the current market is much more shabby than before, and there are no people selling various snacks at all. There are only a few stalls, all of which sell home-made handicrafts like him.

But now they are all collectivized. Even these things that each family usually needs are now purchased by small or large teams. It is not easy to sell these things in the market.

In addition to these people, there were also some people in the market who took things that they did not need temporarily and wanted to exchange for some food. Most of these people were from the brigade or small teams that did not collect food this year. There is no food in their canteen.

, simply closed the canteen and let people find their own solutions. But in the current situation, even if some people have hidden food, who would dare to exchange it so blatantly?

Fang Youshun sighed and stayed at the market all morning. Seeing that no one came to ask, he took these baskets and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune. Although the prices there were cheap, at least they could sell them.

Going out, right?

Fang Youshun sold baskets and baskets at the supply and marketing cooperative, bought orange candies, and went home to distribute the candies to his children.

Shen Yuxiu received eight yuan, Shen Yulin received three yuan, and each of the other children received two yuan. After all, Shen Yuwen and Shen Yuzhen had done a lot of work this year, and Shen Yujun was the youngest, so he would give them whatever benefits they deserve.

Shen Yuzhen took an orange candy and put it in her mouth and sucked it. Her sweet eyes narrowed. She turned around and saw Shen Yuxiu throwing an orange candy into her mouth and chewing it. She couldn't help but feel distressed and said quickly.

: "It's too wasteful for you to eat like this."

"Ah?" Shen Yuxiu looked confused when she said that. Isn't sugar just for eating? Is there any other explanation for eating sugar?

"You have to suck slowly, so that you can eat a piece of candy for a long time." Shen Yuzhen taught her earnestly, then sighed and said, "Forget it, it's in vain for you to eat it anyway, and the rest is for us.

Brother, let's divide it up with Yulin and Yujun, they haven't eaten a few pieces of candy in these years."

After Fang Youshun distributed the candies to the children, he was smiling and watching the children happily eating the candies. When he heard Shen Yuzhen's words, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Is there something wrong with this girl? This is a reward he gave to Xiao Xiu, and she will get it as she says it should?

Grandma Fang saw that Fang Youshun's face was not good, and she felt a little annoyed because Shen Yuzhen always spoke without thinking.

Shen Yuxiu's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Shen Yuzhen with a strange look on her face, then looked at her brothers and sisters in the room who looked at her because of her words, and tightened her little hands on the orange candy.

Coming again?

This was the reward she got in her own exam. Why did the eldest sister open her mouth and ask her to give it away?

Shen Yuxiu was very angry and aggrieved.

Let's share the candy. She can't bear it. If you don't share it, everyone will be looking at her, and it will make her look stingy. But having said that, the eldest brother and the younger brother haven't eaten a few pieces of candy in these years, so why did she just eat it?

"I, I don't want it." Shen Yuxiu puffed up her cheeks and said a little weakly: "Why do you want to share my candy with me? Even if I wanted to share it with them, when you said it, I wouldn't share it with them.

, it doesn’t matter.”

Shen Yuxiu finished speaking quickly, turned around and ran outside.

She didn't know why she felt guilty, but since her eldest sister shared the candy and she didn't want to share it, she just felt guilty.
