Chapter 126 Grandpa Shen knows?

Wen Zhenyi looked at him and said, “Grandpa Shen knows?”

"Now that we have a grandson from far away, we must let him know."

"I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"We'll be careful. They won't stay long if they can't find little Abu."

Little Abu looked at the two of them and said, "Brother and sister, if there is any danger, you must hand me over."

Wen Zhenyi had water on his hand and splashed it on his little face: "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Chen Hanxing looked at him and said, "We won't be in danger as long as you don't reveal your true identity. Just remember, from now on you will be called Chen Bu, and forget your previous name."

Little Abu nodded vigorously: "I remember it."

Wen Zhenyi raised his hand and rubbed his head: "Wash the dishes well, and this will be your accommodation fee for the time being."

"good."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the time and realized it was getting late. It was time to prepare lunch, otherwise his brother and the others would be back soon.

She went into the kitchen and steamed the rice.

The things she just bought have been delivered one after another. Today, she saw some very small fish for sale, so she bought a lot of them.

Clean the small fish, pour in soy sauce and cooking wine to cook the small fish. After boiling, use medium heat to reduce the sauce until the small fish feels crispy, then take the small fish out.

She pinched a small fish and put it in her mouth. It would have been better to use small silver fish, but they were not sold here. This kind of small fish would also be okay, but the taste might not be as good.

Today she plans to make a small fish rice ball, a cold dish and a soup.

Wen Zhenyi saw that it would take a while to steam the rice, so she simply took out the sweet potato flour and started making the pearls for the pearl milk tea.

Pound the brown sugar into powder, mix it with sweet potato flour, add a small amount of water and knead it into round doughs. This process is relatively slow.

Shen Hanxing and Xiao Abu came in to see what she had made, and were a little curious: "What is this?"

"It's called Pearl."

Little Abu looked at the brown dough and said, "Sister, I've seen pearls before, and they don't look like this."

Wen Zhenyi turned his head to look at him: "It's just a metaphor, saying that it is round like a pearl and the same size as a pearl."

"Oh! So that's what you mean."

Shen Hanxing looked at it and said, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Can you peel taro?"

"Yes, how much do you want to cut?"

"You can cut a few more."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"The juice from the taro might make your hands a little itchy. Pour some water and vinegar into a basin and wash them while peeling them. This will help prevent the itchiness."

"I see."

Little Abu doesn't know how to use a knife, so he can't help: "Sister, I can help you rub the pearls."

When Wen Zhen saw that the steamed rice was almost done, he taught him the skill of making pearls.

Little Abu sat in the backyard, rubbing the pearls in his hands carefully.

Wen Zhenyi took the rice down, cleaned the pot, and started to make a simple vegetable soup and a cold dish with lettuce.

She wet her hands slightly, and while the rice was still hot, she pinched the rice and dried fish together to make triangular rice balls, which she placed on a plate.

"Hey, where did the child come from?" When Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman came back, they saw a child sitting in the backyard.

"He belongs to a distant relative of mine." Shen Hanxing introduced little Abu to the two of them.

When Little Abu saw the two of them, he immediately stood up and saluted them: "Hello, brother, I am Little Abu."

Wen Yong looked at him curiously: "Your name is Xiao Abu?"

Little Abu smiled and nodded: "Well, brother, what's your name?"

"I'm older than you, so you can call me Brother Xiaoman. This is my brother, so you can call him Brother Xiaonan."

"Brother Xiaoman, Brother Xiaonan."

Wen Zhenyi poked his head out of the kitchen: "Brother, Xiaoman, he's going to stay with us for a while."

Wen Yongnan walked towards the kitchen, watched her making rice balls, washed his hands, and came to help her: "Why didn't you listen to what Master Shen said?"

"Maybe he forgot. He should tell you when he comes back."

"This child is not very old, why was he sent here?"

"His parents are going on a long trip and it's inconvenient for them to take him with them. There are no relatives at home, so they asked Grandpa Shen to help take care of him for a few days. Although Grandpa Shen agreed, neither he nor his grandson knew how to take care of a child, so they wanted us to take care of him for a few days."

"I see. But since Mom and Dad are not around, and you have to deal with the store, can you take care of it?"

"This little guy is very well behaved, there's no need to worry."

Wen Yongnan looked at the child outside who was rubbing pearls with Xiaoman, but didn't say anything.

Wen Zhenyi had agreed on this statement with Shen Hanxing, so he was not worried about being exposed.

Mr. Shen arrived a little later than the others.

When Wen Zhenyi saw him coming, she asked Xiaoman to take Xiao Abu to wash their hands. She put away all the pearls and planned to deal with them after dinner.

However, during the meal, she put the taro in the steamer to steam it so that it would be convenient to handle later.

Wen Yongman looked at the triangular rice balls and said, "Sister, are you eating rice balls today?"

"Well, I was originally planning to make soy sauce rice for you, but today I saw some small fish, so I just made you some fish rice balls."

Little Abu took a rice ball in his hands and ate it in small bites: "Sister, is the soy sauce rice delicious?"

"It's delicious, but you have to eat it while it's hot. I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"good."

After lunch, Wen Yongman and Wen Yongnan had classes in the afternoon, so Wen Zhenyi sent them back to the private school to rest.

Seeing that there were only four of them in the yard, Shen Xiucai finally spoke up, "I just went to the town government office, but the mayor wasn't there. The bailiff said he had gone to the county town before dawn. It might have something to do with what happened yesterday."

Little Abu clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. He didn't know if any of the people who sent him out were still alive.

Shen Xiucai raised his hand and touched his head: "Don't worry, we will help you find your family."

"Grandpa, thank you."

Shen Xiucai smiled and stood up: "I have classes in the afternoon, so I want to go home." He looked at Wen Zhenyi and said: "Wen girl, if there is anything delicious, remember to save some for me."

Wen Zhenyi looked at him with amusement: "Of course I'll keep it for you. I can forget anyone but you."

"Haha, I'm glad you said that." Mr. Shen returned to the private school with a smile.

Wen Zhenyi took the steamed taro out of the steamer, cut some of it into pieces, and used some to make taro balls.

Little Abu looked at her busy figure and said, "Brother, aren't you tired of being so busy every day?"

Shen Hanxing looked at her busy figure, his eyes full of warmth: "She is tired, but she said it is very fulfilling."

Little Abu didn't quite understand what this meant: "If only I were a little older, I could help my sister."
