There is a glimmer of light in the world

Chapter 119 You are mocking me

"When I was in primary school in the town, there were many stalls selling snacks at the school gate, including honey cakes, candies, and egg skin skewers. The business was very hot. Every day after school, the students would rush to get there. But my family has no money. Except for Children’s Day and New Year’s Day, my dad never gives me pocket money. I can only watch others eat and drool silently. Later, I thought of a way. I discussed with the candy owner, I helped him pick up popsicle sticks and exchanged 50 popsicles for 120 cents of candies. The boss was a good man. Seeing how greedy I was, he would occasionally give me a few more cents of candies. As for me, I reciprocated. If we pick up 100 sticks, they will be counted as [-] sticks, so we can’t always make the boss suffer.”

Sandanzi's whole body glowed as he recalled his childhood memories.

Li Jing heard this and asked curiously: "What is the candies? Does it have anything to do with the popsicle sticks?"

"The candies have three flavors, green is apple, red is strawberry, and yellow is pineapple. It is thick maltose syrup. You need to hold a stick in each hand to stick the syrup. Eat it on a stick."

Sandanzi became more and more excited as he talked. He took out the two signature pens from the bag and started teaching on the spot, "Look, if these are two sticks, twist them, pull them in a circle, and then one of them will Weave it through the circle, flatten it again, and then do it again... Over and over again, twisting it while eating it. After twisting for a long time, the twisted candy will change color. It is really delicious and fun."

Li Jing smiled from ear to ear, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Going to town?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, let's go!"

A quick and easy excursion began.

The entrance to Jizi Town Central Primary School is as lively as ever.

There are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the sidewalk, including snacks, toys, stationery, etc. Most of the stalls are elderly adults. The stalls are small and cheap. They sell for [-] cents or a piece, and the most is no more than [-] yuan. Five bucks stuff.

Sandanzi led Li Jing to the stall selling candies with ease, and said proudly: "Doctor Li, I'm treating you. You can buy whatever you want and try several flavors."

Li Jing is also a person who doesn't stick to trivial details, so she doesn't have to be polite, "Okay, one of each flavor, let's eat together."

So, the two of them stood on the side of the road, eating and twisting, enjoying themselves.

In this afternoon with the warm sun shining, they seemed to have returned to their childhood. Like two greedy children, they visited every food stall one by one.

Opposite the school is the Cultural Square of Jizi Town. After eating and drinking, the two sat on a bench to rest.

After Sandanzi finished eating, he didn't throw away the candy stick. He held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, "Doctor Li, I haven't been so happy for a long time. Thank you. Not only did you not dislike me for being a gangster, but you also brought me out." , eat children’s stuff with me.”

Hearing this, Li Jing was stunned, and then smiled brightly, "Now that I have found a way to make myself happy, I will never lack happiness in the future."

"Man, the hardest thing is to make yourself happy."

"how to say?"

"I can't tell, but I know I haven't been happy for a few days."

"You don't work, you're not short of money, and you live a peaceful life that many people envy. What else is there to be unhappy about?"

Sandanzi turned his face to the side, looked at Li Jing seriously, and said, "Although I am not smart enough, I know in my heart that what you said is ironic, and you are mocking me for not learning, not working hard, and not making progress."
