Because the money was scattered in small pieces, Yang Huazang took several minutes to count it, totaling one dollar and twenty-five cents.

"The total is one dollar and twenty-five cents, not a cent more or less. Comrade Su Xiaomeng, keep it safe."

After putting the wallet away and handing it back to Su Xiaomeng, Yang Huazang raised his voice and said, "It was just a misunderstanding. Now everyone can go home."

After everyone else returned to their seats, Su Xiaomeng lowered her head, tears in her eyes, carefully pulled the corner of Xia Yingtian's clothes, and said timidly.

"Sister, I really didn't mean it. I had a nightmare at the time. I dreamed that all my money was gone. I dreamed that I was in the countryside, had no food to eat, and was hungry every day."

"Then I woke up hungry, and I subconsciously reached for my wallet, but it was empty. I thought my money had been stolen, so I screamed."

"I'm sorry, sister. I've caused you trouble. Sister, I'll give you some candy. Please don't be angry anymore."

After saying that, Su Xiaomeng took out a candy and forced it into Xia Yingtian's hand.

Being accused of being a thief, Xia Yingtian was a little angry at first, but when he saw Su Xiaomeng's pitiful appearance and the half-melted piece of fruit candy that had obviously been treasured for a long time, all his anger disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, stop crying," Xia Yingtian raised his hand and touched Su Xiaomeng's little head, "You are my sister, how could I be angry? You just had a nightmare, you can eat this candy yourself, it's just right to calm your nerves."

Su Xiaomeng shook her head vigorously: "No! This is a gift for my sister. If my sister doesn't eat it, she won't forgive me."

Xia Yingtian couldn't persuade Su Xiaomeng, so in order to reassure her, he could only tear open the candy wrapper and stuff the half-melted fruit candy into his mouth.

"Sweet, sis?"

"Very sweet, very sweet!" Xia Yingtian nodded gently, and then changed the subject, "Xiao Meng, you just said you woke up hungry. Now we are still quite a distance away from the team. I brought some egg cakes here, you should eat some quickly to fill your stomach."

Su Xiaomeng looked at the sweet and soft egg cake, swallowed her saliva, and then refused with difficulty, "No, sister, I brought food."

After saying that, Su Xiaomeng opened her luggage, took out a dry Sanhe steamed bun from it, held it in both hands and started to take small bites.

Xia Yingtian felt heartbroken when he saw this scene.

"Xiao Meng, you are still young and growing. If you eat this kind of food, you will definitely be malnourished. Come on, be obedient and eat this egg cake."

"No," Su Xiaomeng was very stubborn, "I can't eat my sister's food for free."

The more Su Xiaomeng refused and the more sensible she was, the more distressed Xia Yingtian felt: "Xiaomeng, this is not free, didn't you give me a piece of candy? This is an equal exchange."

After Xia Yingtian persuaded her for several times, Su Xiaomeng finally reached out and took the egg cake and started to eat it voraciously.

Xia Yingtian looked at Su Xiaomeng, her eyes full of motherly doting.

Yang Huazang frowned when he saw the two of them having fun. It was clearly Su Xiaomeng's mistake that brought Xia Yingtian a lot of trouble.

Not only did Su Xiaomeng not compensate Xia Yingtian, but she also used one candy to exchange for so many pastries. It was really too much.

In order to prevent Xia Yingtian from getting further trapped, Yang Huazang carefully considered his words and spoke slowly: "Comrade Xia Yingtian, you saw what happened just now. For your own safety, it is better for you to keep some distance from Comrade Su Xiaomeng..."

Before she could finish her words, Su Xiaomeng's mouth pouted and she burst into tears.
