The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 90 Trading with Sugar

As if he saw through the meaning of Su Jiaojiao's expression, he didn't care too much. From childhood to adulthood, whenever she said her name, most people would have this expression, and she had gotten used to it.

"Let's go~" Qian Duoduo waved his hand and said to everyone, "Let's hand in Su Zhiqing's mission first. By then, the group of people who went into the mountains to hunt should have also gone in. It would be just right for us to go in then."

"Okay, but let's have some candy first." Su Jiaojiao took out the iron box again and handed it out in front of everyone. A sweet mixed fruit fragrance immediately filled the air.

"Wow~ Is there such a candy? I've never seen it before." Pan Bo picked up a purple grape-flavored candy and threw it into his mouth without any hesitation.

"Hmm! So sweet." Have I really been in the countryside for too long? I didn't even know there was such candy.

Peng Tingting also picked up a purple candy modestly, put it in her mouth and thanked Su Jiaojiao quietly. After this action, her fear in her heart was reduced a little.

Su Jiaojiao and the other three chatted and laughed as they headed straight to the place where the group of kids usually cut grass for pigs. As expected, they were found not far from the place where they cut grass last time.

Because even if this place is on the outskirts, it is still within the scope of the back mountain, so the four children looked over alertly when they heard the noise, and they were obviously relieved when they saw that it was Su Jiaojiao and the others.

Liu Mu even trotted over, first glanced at the few people behind her before saying to Su Jiaojiao: "Su Zhiqing, I thought you wouldn't come today. I've already got the farm tools for you, and I've piled the pig feed there for you." As he spoke, he pointed behind him, and everyone subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed. There was a big backpack full of pig feed, not to mention a large pile of pig feed next to it.

"If you didn't come today, I would have planned to hand in your assignment for you." After Liu Mu said this, his chubby face smiled particularly happily.

Qian Zhiqing was fine, after all, she already knew it in advance, but Pan Bo and Peng Tingting looked at her with strange eyes.

Su Jiaojiao, an adult, actually ordered a group of children to work for her? For a moment, her eyes were full of condemnation.

Su Jiaojiao ignored their looks, and calmly took out the iron box and handed it over, saying with a smile: "As usual, you can choose the flavor you like."

Just as Su Jiaojiao touched the box, the other three children had already gathered around, lined up skillfully, and took their favorite flavors from the box one by one.

Pan Bo: ...Okay! He admitted that if he were a child, he would be willing to do this job. When he was a child, his family was poor, and when he wanted to eat candy, he could only add a spoonful of sugar to the water during the Chinese New Year.

Now seeing those children putting candies into their pockets with a smile, he was really envious.

"Thank you for today. Be careful when you go home. I will carry the pig grass back myself later." Su Jiaojiao patted Liu Mu's shoulder.

Parents nowadays don’t pay much attention to their children’s hygiene. When I saw Liu Mu was cute, my hands were quicker than my eyes and I touched his head... my hands were greasy.

It was then that she subconsciously began to pay attention to other children's hair. She even saw a lot of lice running around in the hair of many girls, which made her feel creepy.

From then on, she never touched the child's head again. "Okay, I'll go back first. Today the village chief organized people to go hunting in the mountains. You should be careful in the mountains." He actually wanted to ask her if she was going to hunt prey again and roast it in the mountains, but she just said that she would ask them to go back, so he knew it was inconvenient to take them this time.

They didn't argue too much, just said hello to everyone and left with the pig grass they had collected.

"I'll do it~ I'll do it, you guys take a rest here first." Pan Bo said as he walked towards the pile of pig feed. He first put down the backpack on his back and then picked up the backpack full of pig feed and walked straight to the brigade headquarters.

"Wait." Su Jiaojiao quickly stopped him. What would it mean if he went alone to complete the task for me?
"Ah? What's wrong?" Pan Bo turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"Let Peng Zhiqing go with you. It doesn't matter since you are a couple now. If you, a male comrade, go to hand in the task to me and fail, the village will be full of rumors about you and me by tomorrow." Su Jiaojiao said it directly without beating around the bush.

After Su Jiaojiao said this, they all reacted. That's right~ The speed of the aunties in this village spreading gossip is not to be underestimated.

Pan Bo didn't care about gossip or not, he just knew that he could walk with his beloved girl openly, and he was so happy. He just stood there and looked at Peng Tingting, his mouth was torn to the roots of his ears.

The silly way he laughed made Su Jiaojiao and Qian Duoduo burst into laughter again.

Peng Tingting's face turned red with embarrassment when she heard this, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

However, after hearing what Su Jiaojiao said, I knew that no matter how embarrassing it was, I had to go with her.

"Then...then use your own backpack. I'll carry that pile back as well, so we don't have to make two trips." Peng Tingting spoke very quietly, so quietly that only Pan Bo, who was standing next to him, heard it.

"No, you just need to accompany me." He was willing to be alone for a while, no matter how tired he was. He took the lead and walked forward a few steps before turning to Peng Tingting and smiling, "Follow me."

Upon hearing this, Peng Tingting lowered her head and responded softly.

Pan Bo looked at the little girl who followed him and smiled with eyes full of doting.

Tsk~ I suddenly miss Xu Boyang. He hasn't called or sent me a letter in so many days. Humph! He is such a heartless person.

Meanwhile, Xu Boyang, who Su Jiaojiao described as a heartless person, was in the mountains on the Yunnan border. Informants reported that a drug lord named Brother Leopard would be entering the country with a large amount of drugs, and they had been waiting here for several days.

"Captain Xu, has the news changed again? There has been no movement in so many days." A man who was slightly thinner than Xu Boyang ran over and lay down beside Xu Boyang, observing his surroundings vigilantly.

Xu Boyang glanced at him and stared sharply at the path leading to the country. He said in a deep voice, "It's not uncommon to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. The informant reported that the amount they brought this time was too large, and the higher-ups are paying close attention! We have to guard this place well. As for whether the information changes, we will follow the arrangements from above. There are thousands of fellow villagers behind us, and we can't afford to be careless."
