Lin Chunju wiped her hands on her apron and came out to meet the visitor.
"What brings you here today?"
As she spoke, Lin Chunju grabbed a handful of candy from the table and stuffed it into Dong Cuifen's front pocket.
"It's just in time for the New Year, to take back for the kids to try."
Dong Cuifen politely declined twice before finally taking a seat with a big smile on her face.
The candies from the Yue Family were all purchased from the state-owned stores in the city, a different breed from those homemade ones from other villages.
The cream candy melted in the mouth, so sweet and rich, that it felt like it could sweeten one's very heart.
She wasn't willing to refuse them at all.
Seeing the current state of the Yue Family, Dong Cuifen felt even more confident about her visit.
"Sister Lin, my visit today isn't just an ordinary social call; I've come on a mission."
