Her clear eyes were extremely moist, staring straight at the big candied haws on top of the straw stick. There was surprise and curiosity that could be seen through her almond-shaped eyes.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the small lips opened slightly.
Gu Shenghui's heart melted when he saw it.
"Boss, how much do you charge for these candied haws on a stick? I want them all from me!"
Color makes the mind dim, nothing else is like this.
Gu Shenghui pulled Su Jiu to the vendor selling candied haws, waved his hand, and said very generously.
The candied haws seller is an old man who is nearly sixty years old. Time has left many traces on his body. He is slightly stooped and has a few gullies in the corners of his eyes.
Gu Shenghui looked like a rich and noble man. When the vendors nearby heard his words, they looked envious.
The old man had no expression, his cloudy eyes moved, and finally fell on Su Jiu, showing a loving smile.
"Young Master is still growing. Eating so much in one day is not good for your teeth."
As he spoke, the old man raised his head and looked at Gu Shenghui, "Besides, it's not easy to store these candied haws. If the young master can't eat so much, you'd better do what you can and don't waste food."
"Hey! You old man!"
In all his life, Gu Shenghui has never seen anyone so unwilling to give him face. He just has a lot of money and just wants to buy it. What's wrong?
Thinking about it, he was about to take a few steps forward to argue with the old man, but a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Su Jiu raised her fair face and said, "Brother Gu, this grandpa is right, food cannot be wasted."
Gu Shenghui looked at the villain's fair face, and the anger that had just arisen in his heart suddenly dissipated, revealing a doting smile.
"Okay, whatever Jiu'er says is whatever it is."
As he said that, he turned and looked at the old man selling candied haws arrogantly, "How much does the top one cost?"
The old man didn't mind Gu Shenghui's arrogant tone, "Three cents." After saying that, he took off the top candied haws and bent down and handed it to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu took it and showed a bright smile, "Thank you, grandpa."
The old man was also struck by how cute Su Jiu looked and smiled at her.
It is said to be candied haws, but it is actually rock candy apple.
The apple was very big, almost as big as Su Jiu's face. It was wrapped in a layer of red rock sugar and looked very appetizing.
Su Jiu took it in her hand and couldn't wait to take a bite. The apple was slightly sour, which neutralized the sweetness of the rock sugar. It tasted even more delicious than the rock sugar hawthorn gourd.
Seeing the little man eating so satisfactorily, Gu Shenghui felt the last bit of anger in his heart. He took out a silver coin from his purse and handed it to the old man.
"Well, I don't have any change, so there's no need to change the rest. I'll reward you."
The old man was just a little old man who insisted on selling candied haws. He had never seen so much money before, and he didn't dare to take it.
"My young master's hands are sore!"
What a stubborn and dull little old man. Didn’t you see that the eyes of the vendors next to you were red?
Gu Shenghui curled his lips and put the silver into the old man's hand.
The old man's hands shook.
"Grandpa, don't be afraid, Brother Gu is not a bad person."
Seeing that the old man's hands were shaking badly, Su Jiu said quickly.
However, because I was eating, my voice was a little unclear.
"Okay, if you really don't dare to accept it, just treat it as an advance from me. When Jiu'er comes to you to buy candied haws, you won't have to pay for it."
Gu Shenghui said impatiently, ignored the little old man, and pulled Su Jiu away.
"Old Li Tou, you have met a noble person today!"
Seeing the two figures disappearing into the crowd, the vendor on the side said in amusement.
The stalls of these vendors are almost always fixed.
Several of them are old acquaintances.
Li Jianren looked at the heavy silver in his hand, a trace of tears flashed in his turbid eyes, "They are all good people!"
"Now your son has life-saving money!" Although the vendor on the side was jealous, he was just jealous. He glanced at the silver in Li Jianren's hand and said with emotion.
"yes!"
Li Jianren only has one son. The old couple usually lived frugally and managed to provide for his son to study and become a scholar. However, they did not expect that. The son wanted to pray for his wife who was seriously ill. They went to the Flower Goddess Festival and were beaten by black clothes.
The assassin hit him in the arm.
If I don't get proper treatment, I'm afraid I may never be able to write again in this life.
But now all major medical clinics are overcrowded. Although they say they don't need money, in the end, whoever pays more money will be treated first.
Poor Li Jianren, who is over sixty years old, still sells candied haws to pay for his son and wife's medical expenses.
"Old man Li, while you have money now, you should take Xiao Li to see a doctor as soon as possible. I will help you guard here."
The vendor said very enthusiastically.
Li Jianren squeezed the money in his hand tightly, and remembered the faces of the two nobles just now deeply in his mind. Hearing this, he did not hesitate and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

"Is it tasty?"
Gu Shenghui held the villain's hand and looked at the candied haws that was half destroyed by the villain. He swallowed subconsciously. He obviously didn't like eating this kind of sticky stuff, but for some reason, he saw Su Jiu eating this.
He looked so immersed in it, and felt a little greedy for no reason.
Su Jiu licked her lips and nodded heavily, "Well, just right!"
“As long as it’s delicious.”
Seeing that the villain seemed to be full, Gu Shenghui wrapped the leftovers in oil paper, as if he wanted to save them for later, and said dryly.
After all, it's hard for him to compete with villains for food.
The two walked through the streets and finally stopped in front of the door of what looked like a small workshop.
There were no people on the street at this time, and the facade looked very cold, but it seemed very lively inside.
Some noises can be heard from time to time.
Su Jiu held the half-eaten candied haws in one hand and tugged on the hem of Gu Shenghui's clothes, "Brother Gu, is this the legendary casino?"
It was not the first time for Gu Shenghui to come to this kind of place, but it was also his first time to come here.
The location of this place is not too remote, and passers-by occasionally pass by.
"Probably...right."
This is what Song Chao told him.
Gu Shenghui took a deep breath, lowered his head and warned worriedly: "Jiu'er, please don't leave me later."
Su Jiu nodded obediently.
Gu Shenghui was still a little worried. He glanced at the villain's fair face, squatted down and touched a handful on the ground, rubbed it in his palms, and then applied it to the villain's face.
After seeing that Su Jiu's fair face had darkened by more than one degree, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Okay, this is much better."
The gambling house is full of good and bad people, he must protect Jiu'er!
