"Go on down and share these with your friends, so you don't have to go door-to-door asking for them." Zhu Yun smiled, leaning in to whisper to them conspiratorially, like they were old pals. She packed not only the candy but also the nuts and pastries from the table into a cloth bag and handed it over.
"I'm in a great mood from the wedding, so I want you all to have some fun too."
"Oh, right. These snacks are good for munching on, but they won't fill you up. Just now, your Grandma Wang fried up a bunch of crispy pork, meatballs, and sweet cakes. She wanted to share them with the neighbors for a taste."
"You'd better hurry. They'll be gone if you're late. And remember to say a few nice things!"
The Little Doudings clutched the big bag of treats, their eyes lighting up. They nodded repeatedly, then hugged the bag and STOMPED down the stairs, shouting, "Hu! That new Grandma Wang was right! The new bride gives out candy!"
