Chapter 192: The Youngster, Jiang Xun (3) (1/2)

At that moment, Li Fangting, who had eaten only half the bun suddenly shouted, “Elder Brother Jiang Xun, this bun is for you.”

She handed the remaining half of the bun to him.

Jiang Xun glanced at it with a warm expression. “No need, you eat it yourself! Take care of yourself when you get home!”

“Then you bring it back for your younger brothers.”

Gu Qingyao jumped down from her cart and took up her basket. She handed a meat bun to Jiang Xun. “This is for you!”

Jiang Xun looked at the soft, white meat bun. He could tell it was delicious, but he was too shy to take it.

“No need. Aunt Gu has always taken care of us. If not for her, my younger brothers might have starved to death. Keep it for Younger Sister Fangting! I’m going home now!”

Gu Qingyao simply stuffed the bun into his hand. Then she took out five kilograms of cornflour, two kilograms of rice, and six hard-boiled eggs from her basket, and placed them in a gunny sack.

No one in the Poplar Brigade had dared to take them in. It was this child who had run to tell her father and Third Elder Brother. She would not forget that.

In these times, there was no better gift than food.

“Take this and bring it home. I’m off!”

She stuffed the things into Jiang Xun’s hands, then climbed back into the cart. Gu Yunshen pushed the cart as he said, “Child, go home! Thank you for what you’ve done today!”

Jiang Xun dumbly looked at the things in his hands. It was a long time before he could react.

He had not thought of taking their things. Gu Yunshuang had always been a great help to them. This time, no one in the Poplar Brigade would help, so he had come over to give them a hand. He had not expected the Gu family to give him so many things just for running over and calling for them.

The sack contained bright yellow cornmeal. It was very clean and fine.

The cornmeal he had seen before was very coarse, a darker shade, and contained many impurities.
