Xue Darong laughed.”Father, look at how sensible Jiang Yue is. How old is she? She’s definitely older than her size!”

Li Qingshu’s mother had never fallen behind in this aspect. She quickly smiled and said, “Xue Yan is different too. He’s changed after staying in town for three years. Even if he doesn’t study in town anymore, he’ll definitely have a bright future when he grows up.”

Xue Da and Xue Erfu were even happier when they heard this.

Since Li Qingshu’s mother had spoken, and since this idea was originally thought of by Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, the others naturally had to put in a few good words with a smile on their faces.

Xue Dagui was relieved to see his father so happy. “Father, are you at ease now? It’s good that you’re at ease, you need to take care of your health.”

At this time, Xue Xiaobao, who was lying on Xue Da’s lap, raised his little head, pointed at Dagui, and complained, “That uncle is a liar. Not only did he lie to my brother and me that he would buy us candy, but he also told Xue Yan and Jiang Yue that he would buy them candy.”

The people present were amused.

Xue Da laughed as he pretended to hit Xue Dagui a few times. “To think that you’re still the same, shouldn’t you embarra.s.sed?”

His father didn’t really hit him, he was just putting on an act, so Xue Dagui was happy. “I’m still poor right now, right? Don’t worry. When I get rich one day, I’ll definitely buy it for them.”

Jiang Yue didn’t stay in the oil mill for long. She estimated that the heat of her round bowl of caramel candy should have dropped to a suitable temperature. She looked at Xue Yan, who immediately understood and told everyone that they were going back.

Erfu immediately stood up and said that he would go back with them.

Xua Yan walked them to the gate of the courtyard and couldn’t help but say his thanks again.

By the time they got home, the others had already started to pull out the caramels from the pot.

When Xue Erfu saw this, he wanted to step over to help, but Jiang Yue stopped him and said, “Erfu, can you help me first?”

“What is it?” Xue Erfu immediately bent down and asked them.

Jiang Yue went to the side and brought over the round bowl of caramel candy. “Help us carry this.”

“Sure,” Xue Erfu had no problem with that.

The silver thread candy also required rice flour to prevent stickiness, so Jiang Yue and the others also went to the table and shared the s.p.a.ce with Xue Sifu and the others.

The table was covered with a clean wooden board, and rice flour had been scattered on the board.

Xue Erfu went to wash his hands before walking to the table.

When Jiang Yue saw Xue Erfu walk over, she poured out the caramel that had not completely cooled down but was ready to be used and placed it on the rice flour.

Xue Yan looked at it carefully. He had a task and it was to draw the process of everything.

The caramel candy had not cooled down completely and was still soft. When they were poured out, they were no longer round. Jiang Yue said, “Erfu, can you make it round?”

“Deal!” Xue Erfu immediately began to mold it.

Xue Sifu and the others were currently pulling at the caramel’s end, turning them white. Seeing that Xue Erfu’s actions were different from theirs, the impatient Xue Wufu immediately asked, “What are they doing?”

Xue Sifu, Liu Guixia, and the others didn’t stop what they were doing, but they also looked over curiously.

“I want to make silver thread candy,” Jiang Yue replied. “This candy will take a long time to make, probably more than two hours. When the time comes, the candy will be as thin as a strand of hair and will melt once it is placed in the mouth. When my mother was making this candy, she tried to do it but it required a lot of work. So maybe now we can try it.”
