"Mommy, is she so small because she doesn't get to eat enough?" When she heard that they were the same age, Little Bei immediately guessed the crux of the matter. Otherwise, why would she be shorter than her despite being the same age as her?
Mu Jingzhe looked at Little Bei. "Little Bei, you seem to pay quite a bit of attention to her."
"Mm, seeing her reminds me of myself." Little Bei nodded. "Mommy, wait for me."
Little Bei ran out and saw that Little Zhaodi was indeed still there. She took two pieces of milk candy and a peanut one out of her pocket.
"For you."
Little Zhaodi had seen milk candy before. This was something only boys on the mountain could eat during the New Year. She was a girl, so she didn't have the right to eat it. She had picked up candy wrappers to lick them before, but they hadn't been delicious.
