Su Yun'er smacked her lips, as if she could still taste the cool, sweet and sour cherry flavor.

Once a person has tasted something delicious, they will always crave it.

The "person" here specifically refers to Su Yun'er.

"Meow, meow~"

Gai Xue let out a sweet, pleading voice, wanting to run away.

But Su Yun'er wouldn't let go easily. She hugged and rubbed him for a while before letting go. Gai Xue angrily jumped onto the kang table that had been moved to the wall and began frantically licking his fur, which had been messed up by Su Yun'er's hug.

Su Yun'er propped her head up with one hand and watched the kitten groom itself for a while. She smiled and scolded, "You little ingrate, you dare to complain about me?"

I can't neglect my work in this space. Yesterday I spent all my money to exchange for the fermentation function, and now I have to rebuild my wealth.

[Ding-dong—Accumulate points to redeem a fruit field. Would you like to redeem?]

"?"

"Didn't we use up all our points yesterday?" Su Yun'er asked, somewhat puzzled.

However, I still tried clicking "Redeem," but a pop-up window appeared saying: "Redeeming a fruit field requires 9000 points. You do not have enough points."

"..."

"Then what did you remind me of?!" Su Yun'er sighed, three black lines appearing on her forehead.

"Therefore, 'cumulative' refers to what has been acquired, not what is currently available."

Therefore, in order to have a fruit field and be able to grow fruit in the future, Su Yun'er needs to work hard to accumulate points again.

However, Su Yun'er's wish for fruit would not be in vain, as there were still a few small watermelons stored in her spatial storage.

These small watermelons were obtained by her using the "stealing vegetables" function when she first connected to the system, and she had never been willing to eat them.

Because fruit is a high-level crop on the farm, and not many of her friends or her friends on her friend list have reached a high level, it's been a rare sight to see it. Even the friend who produces watermelons broke off their friendship with Su Yun'er after discovering that she had stolen his/her watermelons, a fact that Su Yun'er only found out about much later.

However, now that there are some high-level players in her friend list, she will soon be able to start growing fruit as well—Su Yun'er deliberately ignored the fact that her current points were almost zero—so she is not so reluctant to eat these little watermelons.

Watermelon is a summer fruit, and eating it in winter is a luxury. But imagine, on New Year's Eve, the whole family sits around a warm, heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), while snow falls heavily outside. Inside, people chat and laugh, eat snacks, and nibble on a cool, refreshing watermelon. That feeling is simply wonderful.

Su Yun'er picked out a watermelon, took it out of her spatial dimension, and prepared it as dessert fruit for her family.

The Sun residence.

Today is a day off.

The head of the Sun family, Sun Chengye, who is also the prefect of Qingshui County, is also resting at home.

Sun Chengye came from a poor family. In order to escape that environment, he studied hard and eventually passed the imperial examination, gradually rising to the ranks of high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

After passing the imperial examinations, Sun Chengye became a student of Huo Lianhe, a high-ranking official. Later, he married Huo Lianhe's daughter. Two years after their marriage, they had a son named Sun Liangzhe.

Sun Liangzhe also passed the imperial examination and entered the court as an official. He originally served in Qingshui County. A few years ago, when he was transferred to Beidu, he left his son Sun Yuanzhou and daughter Sun Wanqing behind so that his parents could have someone to accompany them.

However, this year, in order to prepare for the imperial examination, Sun Yuanzhou moved to the capital with the approval of Sun Chengye, since the north had the best teachers.

Now, only his granddaughter Sun Wanqing remains by Sun Chengye's side.

Sun Chengye was very strict with his son and grandson, but he doted on his only granddaughter.

In Sun Chengye's eyes, everything his granddaughter does is adorable and good.

This morning, while Sun Chengye and his wife, Madam Huo, were having breakfast, Sun Wanqing came to say good morning.

"Good morning grandpa, good morning grandma."

Today, Sun Wanqing is no longer as tired as she was yesterday. After a good rest, she is radiating youthful energy once again.

"Why did you come so early? Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't need to pay your respects if you weren't feeling well?" Madam Huo lovingly pulled Sun Wanqing's hand and asked her to sit down at the table as well.

"I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but I'm all better today. My grandparents' porridge smells so good, it's making me hungry."

“If you’re hungry, we can eat together. Chunrou, I’ve also prepared a bowl, chopsticks, and porridge for your daughter.” Sun Chengye smiled kindly as well.

"Grandmother, is there any rose jam left from yesterday? Grandfather hasn't tried it yet, has he? Come and have a taste. This rose jam is so fragrant; you've definitely never had it before."

“He definitely won’t like it. He’ll say it’s something for women.” Mrs. Huo pursed her lips and glanced at her husband.

Sun Chengye laughed heartily: "If it's from my granddaughter, then it's a good thing."

Sure enough, he took the bottle of rose jam, smelled it, raised an eyebrow, and then added a spoonful to his porridge as Sun Wanqing had instructed.

The white porridge immediately turned a light pink color and emitted a rose fragrance.

"As expected of women," Sun Chengye muttered to himself.

However, under the eager gaze of his granddaughter Sun Wanqing, he still ate it all.

I don't really like it.

"Grandfather, do you like it? It's delicious!" Sun Wanqing asked with a smile.

"Mmm, delicious," Sun Chengye said with a smile.

However, as his wife who had lived with him for decades, Mrs. Huo immediately saw that her husband was just trying to make his granddaughter happy.

"Grandma, how did your throat feel after you used that kumquat lemon jam yesterday?"

"I'm feeling much better. That stuff really works."

"What is it?" Sun Chengye asked curiously, a little jealous. "What exactly did you all do yesterday that you kept from me?"

Sun Wanqing smiled and then told Sun Chengye everything about how she couldn't eat yesterday, how she smelled a special aroma by the dock, how she had her servants find a cook, and how the cook's food was so novel and delicious.

"So, all this rose jam and kumquat jam was made by that cook?"

“I made this kumquat jam myself,” Sun Wanqing protested.

"You actually kept your granddaughter's creations to yourself." Sun Chengye was jealous again, and frowned at Huo Shi.

“Look at you, so petty. You’re less valuable as you get older,” Mrs. Huo chuckled, mocking her husband’s childishness, as she had someone bring over the jar of kumquat lemon jam. “Here it is. Look at it as much as you like.”

Examining the jar of sauce closely, Sun Chengye raised an eyebrow: "This is the first time I've seen this stuff. This cook seems quite interesting. You like it?"

Sun Chengye asked Sun Wanqing.
