"Oh, my dear Liu Jiu, you want to eat mackerel dumplings. Wait for me to make them for you right away. Your uncle just caught some fresh mackerel this morning."
Bonnie looked at her mother's beaming face. It was as if she had forgotten about the older one now that she had a younger one. She hadn't even looked at Bonnie properly since she came in; her eyes were only on Liu Jiu.
Liu Jiu followed her maternal grandmother into the kitchen. Bao Ni ignored them and went inside to see what her grandmother was doing.

Well, that's it for her again. Bonnie touched her nose and came out again.

Bonnie quickly climbed the tree and picked apples into her basket. She filled another basket with apples from that tree.
Alright, that's all for today. I picked a bunch of wild vegetables and put them on my backpack. Bonnie headed down the mountain. Mackerel dumplings are best when they're fresh out of the pot.
