Lin Junting walked three or four streets, but he didn't see anyone selling candied haws.

His face and hands were frozen, and his legs were shaking, but he still kept searching forward.

Under the dim lantern, he finally saw a man holding a candied haws-on-a-stick scarecrow, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Candied haws-on-a-stick seller, wait a minute, I want to buy candied haws on a stick!"

"It's sold out, don't even look at what time it is." The candied haws seller didn't even look back and walked straight forward.

Lin Junting moved in front of him with great effort, opened his mouth, and blew out cold air, "Brother, it's like this. My wife is pregnant, but she just wants to eat candied haws. I feel bad that I can't buy it for her."

"Please, can you go home and make one for me? I'm willing to pay ten times the price."

Seeing that his face was turning purple from the cold, the candied haws seller clasped his fists and said, "Brother, you have such perseverance, I admire you!"

"Your wife is truly blessed to have such a good husband like you in several lifetimes. Okay, come back with me."

"You are wrong. Being able to marry her is the greatest blessing in my life, but thank you anyway."

Lin Junting followed the candied haws seller to his house. Looking at his dilapidated thatched house and broken copper pot, he suddenly felt sad.

He was well-dressed and well-fed, but he couldn't stand it after being out in the cold for a while, but this elder brother had been hawking all day.

Here, the candied haws sellers have begun to sell skewers, hawthorn, orange, and all kinds of other things.

"Brother, I don't want that much."

Lin Junting was busy trying to stop him. In such a cold weather, it was enough for him to do just one.

The candied haws seller glanced at him and said, "I can't charge you ten times for nothing. We are poor but have backbone."

Hearing this, Lin Junting admired the man in front of him for no reason. This eldest brother was so transparent.

Seeing that his hands dipped in sugar were covered in frostbite, Lin Junting asked, "Why don't you buy some medicine to apply on it? It hurts and itches so much."

The candied haws seller shook out the transparent and beautiful sugar strands, wrapped the candied haws, put it in a paper bag, and handed it to him.

"What kind of medicine should I buy? That medicine will allow me to buy a lot of ingredients for candied haws. It's too expensive."

He waved his hands, but there was no dejection in his tone, nor did he complain about poverty. There was only helplessness and resignation after various experiences.

Lin Junting took the candied haws with mixed emotions and said thank you.

The candied haws seller waved his hand and went into the house to sleep.

Lin Junting thought for a while and decided to ask the soldiers to come to him tomorrow and find a suitable job for his eldest brother at the Lin family or the dock.

He knew that this elder brother had dignity, but he also had a kind heart.

Anyone who can help is one.

In the cold night, Lin Junting took a closer look at this street. It was simple, dilapidated, and barren.

These are all the effects of war.

He couldn't spend all his money now, but he never thought about helping them. It was because he thought too little.

Lin Junting returned to the Lin Mansion with the candied haws in a complicated mood.

As soon as he entered the room, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.

"Husband, you are back."

Chu Xianyu wanted to struggle to get up and hug him, but Lin Junting hurriedly stepped away and gave her the candied haws in his hand, "Don't come over, I'm cold."

"Here, eat."

Chu Xianyu stared blankly at his face, which was as cold as grapes, and his trembling hands. He smiled, then his nose became sour and tears fell down.

Lin Junting panicked, and his cold hands couldn't wipe away her tears. "What's wrong? Didn't you buy the right food you like? Then I'll go again."

"No, husband!"

Just as Lin Junting was about to go out, he felt Chu Xianyu hugging him from behind, "Why are you so nice to me?" Chu Xianyu murmured.

Suddenly, she felt complicated and entangled in her heart, whether this Brother Lin was her Brother Lin or not.

After all, the brother Lin she was looking for didn't like her at first.
