The seeds haven’t sprouted yet, so it’s not ti to plant vegetables. In the afternoon, the siblings split up.
Gu Peihai continued to plow the vegetable plot, responsible for turning the other half of the yard into a small vegetable patch to prepare for transplanting later.
There wasn’t much rice left at ho, so he also needed to help the locals with farm work in exchange for rice and ingredients.
Tuanzi went to Room 4 to et up with Wu Yu to make honey grapefruit tea.
When she arrived at Room 4, she found that other friends were there too.
Su Chaomu was picking grapefruits, Liu Bai stood with arms crossed, face sullen, looking like soone owed him money, and Lin Ci seed a bit tense and awkward.
"Did you guys co to get it yourselves?"
Tuanzi rubbed her face with her chubby paws.
"Did Wu Yu co to notify you?"
The little boy lying on the rocking chair slowly sat up.
He spoke very slowly, requiring a lot of patience to listen to him.
"No, it was Uncle Director who notified us."
Tuanzi tilted her head, looking a bit confused. Wu Yu had to explain slowly.
It was impossible for him to carry heavy fruits and deliver them house by house. Running to notify them to pick up the fruits house by house was also impossible.
The lazy yet clever little boy asked the staff to contact the director, who then notified the staff waiting in various courtyards, and the staff notified the guests.
He only needed to speak once to complete the fruit distribution task, very efficient.
Tuanzi opened her mouth wide.
She gave him a thumbs up.
"Wu Yu, you’re so smart," she thought for a mont, then seriously said, "You’d be really well-suited for business."
Wu Yu smiled, lips pursed, and took the initiative, "The grapefruit peel is done, now what?"
"We boil the grapefruit peel while processing the grapefruit flesh!"
Tuanzi thought, seeing as the other three friends were here, she could invite them to join.
She quickly stepped forward and enthusiastically invited them.
Wu Yu slightly twisted his neck.
Suddenly, he felt a scorching gaze, turned around, and saw Wu Ti squatting at the threshold, looking at him wistfully.
He moved his mouth without making a sound.
Wu Ti sneered, "Talking to your sister, you’re eager and proactive, even speaking in long sentences, but with , you won’t even make a sound, huh."
Wu Yu turned around, back facing him, thinking, as Dad got older, his temper beca more peculiar.
Faced with Tuanzi’s warm invitation, Su Chaomu imdiately agreed.
"I haven’t made grapefruit tea myself yet."
He patted the grapefruit by his side, "Anyway, my dad isn’t waiting to eat."
[But if I rember correctly, his dad asked him to go back early to help cultivate the vegetable garden]
[Digging the soil is not as fun as making grapefruit tea]
[Su Hanjiang: You really are my good son]
Liu Bai hesitated for a while, "I need to go back to help."
Tuanzi imdiately waved, "Then you go help, after we finish, we’ll send you so to try."
Liu Bai: "..." So, you won’t persuade anymore? If you persuade one more ti, I’d agree.
As for Lin Ci, she took so fruits, thanked them, and left, not planning to participate.
Tuanzi tilted her head.
Su Chaomu, who was patting grapefruits, looked up at Lin Ci’s retreating figure, full of confusion.
Chasing Wu Ti out to work, Wu Yu took the two friends and occupied the kitchen.
Su Chaomu was in charge of making the fire, while Tuanzi stood on a stool, adding water, grapefruit peel, and rock sugar to the pot.
While waiting for the water to boil, she and Wu Yu began peeling the grapefruit flesh, working quickly.
Only as they peeled, Tuanzi couldn’t resist popping a piece of grapefruit flesh into her mouth.
Caught by Wu Yu, she tried to pass it off with a sweet smile.
Wu Ti lowered his eyes, pretending not to notice.
[Classic cook’s snack]
[Watching them peel grapefruits makes want to eat too]
[Yes, I didn’t expect these grapefruits planted in the yard to look quite delicious]
[Even if they’re not tasty, Miaomiao will eat them happily]
[Can they really make grapefruit tea? So far, there hasn’t been any issue]
Once the water boiled, Tuanzi added the grapefruit flesh to the pot and instructed Su Chaomu, "After it boils again, simr over low heat."
Su Chaomu: "Don’t worry, I’m the fire-master and can perfectly control the heat."
Tuanzi paused, looking clueless, "But you were the stick-master in the morning."
The boy grinned, "A person can have many titles."
As ti passed, the grapefruit peel and flesh in the pot beca more and more syrupy.
Su Chaomu stopped adding wood to the fire.
The residual heat continued to cook the grapefruit peel and flesh in the pot.
Once the fruit had cooled, Tuanzi scooped it up, placed it into clean little jars, and added so honey to each.
"Look, it’s a success!"
Tuanzi held up one of the small jars.
The two friends gathered around, marveling.
It felt like they had accomplished sothing incredible.
With the finished product, they naturally had to taste it, but without many cups at ho, each person took a small bowl, scooped so honey grapefruit tea, and added warm water to mix.
Tuanzi picked up her small bowl, cautiously took a sip, and her big eyes almost sparkled with hearts.
"It’s delicious, no worse than the stuff outside!"
The other two friends also took a sip and nodded in agreent.
"It really is very tasty." Wu Yu found it fascinating.
The three kids ran to the door, sat in a row, each cradling their bowl, and gulped down the honey grapefruit tea.
[I’ve ordered mine, soon I’ll also have honey grapefruit tea to drink]
[I want so too]
[Watching them eat and drink is just pure joy]
[Did Wu Yu forget sothing? His dad specifically reminded him before he left]
[Haha, forgot to make his dad a cup]
[No way, I rember Miaomiao made an extra bowl, isn’t it for Wu Ti?]
At this ti, Wu Ti returned with a basket of vegetables, saw the three kids sitting in a row drinking grapefruit tea, and laughed.
He walked into the kitchen full of anticipation and indeed found a bowl of grapefruit tea, happily picked it up, and took a sip. He thought joyfully, after this, he could show off to his wife; his lazy son knew how to show filial respect.
The famous actor erged with the bowl and upon seeing his son sitting obediently, patted his head with one hand.
"Son, thanks."
Wu Yu: "?"
The little boy slowly turned around, full of confusion.
Wu Ti suddenly had a bad feeling.
Upon seeing the bowl in his dad’s hand, the little boy opened his mouth in surprise but then quickly closed it again.
He knew his son well, and could tell that he wanted to say ’So the bowl of tea was for you’.
Wu Ti’s face stiffened, "Didn’t you make this?"
"Sister made it."
Tuanzi turned back, smiling and nodding, "Uncle, is it tasty?"
"It’s good, thanks, Miaomiao."
Wu Ti smiled at Tuanzi but, clenching his teeth at his son, said, "You really are my good son."
The little boy rembered the earlier reminder, tried to explain, opened his mouth, then couldn’t be bothered to explain and simply turned away.
Wu Ti: "..."
The audience roared with laughter.
The Wu Ti family made honey dates too, and Wu Ti gave Tuanzi and Su Chaomu bowls of honey dates.
"You can eat while watching the chicks and ducklings."
Wu Yu raised his bowl without saying a word, as if asking ’What about mine?’.
Wu Ti pretended not to see.
