“Mom, you’re here!” Su Li deliberately raised his voice, fearing someone might not hear that she was his mother.
Gu Zi sensed his intention and responded loudly. It was great to have a cautious Su Li, rather than someone involved in shady dealings. She vowed to put in effort to care for them, hoping they wouldn’t tread the same paths as written in the .
The classmates who had mocked them had quietly retreated into the crowd but hadn’t gone far.
There was a delightful fragrance emanating from the bamboo cart.
Su Bing also called out “Mom,” but not as dramatically as Su Li. People around were still expecting to see what they would be selling. Su Bing assisted Gu Zi in setting up the stall, placing the exquisite delicacies on display.

There were red bean coconut cakes, taro cakes, mala cakes, grass jelly, sweet potato cakes, and more, all in vibrant colors. Many kids were so enticed that they couldn’t resist and tugged their parents to buy.
Before Gu Zi had even finished setting up the stall, she had already sold two portions of grass jelly, a portion of taro cake, and one of red bean coconut cakes.
Even the classmates who had previously ridiculed the Su brothers couldn’t resist their cravings. They approached their mother, wanting to buy some treats, but she refused.
One of them immediately quipped, “Look at that mom, she’s beautiful and capable. And then there’s you… what about you can match up to her!”
Then he found himself being chased and scolded by his own mother with a stick, becoming a unique spectacle in the school.
As more students gathered under the mango tree, Gu Zi put up a signboard with the stall’s name.
Su Li’s eyes welled with emotion when he saw the banner with the words “Su Li’s Snack Stall.” His heart swelled with warmth. He did not expect his mother to use his name for the stall.
His emotions surged, nearly bringing tears to his eyes. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a small piece of chilled pastry was placed into his mouth. He stared blankly at Gu Zi, momentarily forgetting to chew.
Gu Zi was amused by his reaction and shouted, “Delectable homemade treats!
Come quickly before the young boss, Su Li, finishes them all!”
Su Li, still dazed from finishing the pastry, also shouted excitedly, “Hurry and buy the snacks my mom made, or else I’ll eat them all!”
With their high-quality products and unique slogan, Su Li’s snack stall became the hottest spot at the food fair.
Most of the buyers were city kids; the rural children stood nearby, yearningly watching. Seeing this, Gu Zi asked Su Bing and Su Li to cut some desserts into smaller pieces and share them with the kids who couldn’t afford to buy.
Su Bing and Su Li both deeply remembered this moment. They realized that sometimes, they could share unconditionally. This act might not bring in money, but it enriched them with sweet little feelings that money couldn’t buy.
The other stalls looked on with envy; even the kids at the neighboring stall were salivating. They envied the Su brothers—what their mom made seemed even tastier than what was sold outside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSome were buying snacks with money, but the Su brothers had their mom making whatever they wanted to eat. What could be cooler than having such an amazing mom?
Pouting, one boy asked his mom, “Mom, I really want to try the snacks from the next stall. Can I have a sample?”
His mom, looking rather irritated, retorted, “How could you boost the sales of other people’s shops? We should take care of our own! Absolutely not!” The child grunted faintly, “If only I could have a different mom.”
Seeing she hadn’t sold many sesame seed balls, the mom became furious. She glanced at her own son and exclaimed, “You’re always eating! You seem like a snack yourself! Why don’t you eat yourself, you hollow little ball? Can moms be traded?”
The Su brothers were helping their mother so diligently. How could she end up with such a useless son? How she wanted to stuff this lazy son back into her stomach and remake him!
Within an hour, the snacks that Gu Zi had planned to sell in the morning was completely sold out. They had earned a total of 15-40 yuan. Their delightful snack stand closed perfectly.
The brothers decided to donate the money. Gu Zi was a bit surprised and said,
“If you wanted to buy a big bag of snacks, I wouldn’t have minded.”
Su Li replied, “Mom, when you asked us to share with the other kids, we had already decided to donate the money..”
