With Gu Jiaojiao's encouragement, Sweet Girl went inside the house and brought out a small pouch of roasted chestnuts.
Sweet Girl wasn't sure how many to bring, so after she came out, she asked for Gu Jiaojiao's opinion.
Gu Jiaojiao was very satisfied.
Not too many, not too few. It was just the right amount.
"You did great, Sweet Girl."
She praised her with a smile, and a hint of shyness and excitement immediately appeared on Sweet Girl's face.
Even when her own parents were around, they had never praised her like this.
Now, hearing Gu Jiaojiao's praise, Sweet Girl felt a sweetness in her heart as if she'd eaten honey.
After a little while, the brigade leader and his men finished putting everything in order and prepared to leave.
Gu Jiaojiao gave Sweet Girl a meaningful look.
Sweet Girl then walked forward with the small pouch of chestnuts and gave a handful to each person.
