Chapter 15
Ding Sha sat up straight with her bulging belly at the table, slapping the small ledger to make it go “snap snap”, and said, “Let’s settle accounts and see how much money we’ve earned!”

Xiao Jun did not like this kind of detailed and tedious work, so he pulled over a stool and sat to one side watching Ding Sha as she frowned and bit her pen, with a serious and solemn look on her face as she carefully calculated the income and expenses of their little family.

Xiao Jun was very familiar with the way Ding Sha wrote, because for the past ten-odd years, he had countless times secretly watched Ding Sha in the not-so-outstanding village school.

At that time, he had just been abandoned by his mother. He was thin and small, dirty all over. The children of other families avoided him and threw rocks at him, calling him "little trash", saying that nobody wanted him.

The adults were superficially kind to him, but secretly called him a jinx behind his back, saying he brought misfortune on his parents and had a tough fate.

Xiao Jun didn’t understand back then, and felt wronged. Even when others snatched his hard-earned belongings, he silently hoped that they would forgive him afterwards and play with him.

It was so scary to be alone in the dark and vast room.

Xiao Jun smiled at the thought, suddenly feeling that he was quite funny when he was little.

A little bunny that nobody wanted, who cared about you?

Ding Sha looked up, "What's the matter?"

She looked at Xiao Jun in confusion, "Did you say something just now?"

"No," Xiao Jun fondly stroked her head, "Hurry up and calculate, we’re going shopping tomorrow after you finish, remember?"

Watching Ding Sha continue to concentrate on the tedious calculations, the once cold gaze due to memories became warm again.

He had no good memories from his childhood experiences, except for meeting Ding Sha.

The day he met Ding Sha, he was so hungry. It was a bad harvest that year, and no one in the village had extra food to give him. He had to climb the hills behind the village to dig for wild vegetables and fruits to fill his stomach.

But all the edible stuff had been dug up by the village women, even scraping off a layer of the ground.

Little Xiao Jun felt dizzy from hunger.

In the end, he couldn't stand it and burst into tears sitting on the hillside.

Perhaps he cried so sadly that it attracted a beautiful, fair and clean little girl.

Little Ding Sha asked him, "Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

The little man also had his pride. Little Xiao Jun wiped his tears and stopped crying, even hiccupping from the crying.

Before he could speak, his stomach growled loudly.

Little Ding Sha suddenly realized, "You are hungry!"

She took out something from her pocket wrapped in a clean handkerchief. Unwrapping it, it was a shiny golden little rice cake that looked and smelled sweet and tempting. Xiao Jun almost reflexively swallowed.

Little Ding Sha sat next to him and broke it into two pieces of exactly the same size, giving one piece to little Xiao Jun.

He was starving, and didn't know what refusal was. He only felt the rice cake was so sweet and soft. He wolfed it down and stuffed it into his mouth.
