"Hmm, this is really good stuff, thanks."
He turned and went back into the house, his loud voice audible even to the neighbors, "Lixiang, don't fuss over it, come and have a sip, the one next door gave you, it's your favorite flavor."
Xie Lin told the children to go into the kitchen and serve themselves.
All the fruit was prepared. Except for Old Tang, who was away at the research base and couldn't enjoy it, everyone else got a share, including Chen Xiao from next door.
"Xingxing, take this back to your parents." Zhang Tong brought out a tea mug.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Li Zixing put down her bowl, took the fruit tea home first, and then came back to enjoy it with her friends.
The three chickens were also standing on the chairs drinking their share of the local specialty brought back by their owner—why not drink it if you can?
After not seeing each other for a few days, the group of kids gathered together and talked about interesting things that happened at school and then about interesting stories from the compound.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Xu Ying and Xu Lan?" Daya whispered, revealing the gossip.
"I remember them. What happened to them?"
"They changed their surname to the same one as Brother Xie, and are now called Xie Ying and Xie Lan."
After taking a swig of fruit tea, Shishi asked, "Why?"
“The day before yesterday, their stepmother fell and bled, but the child was fine. She said Xie Ying pushed her.”
"Xie Ying was called back to the Xu family that day to take care of her stepmother who was tired from shoveling pig manure."
“She said she didn’t push him, but her dad got carried away by her pillow talk and slapped her. Her new parents felt sorry for her and went to Xingxing’s mom to complain.”
“My house is right across from the Xu family’s house. We’re both in building 303. She’s in building 2, and I’m in building 3. I can see her room from my door. I saw it clearly. She fell by herself, so I came out to testify.”
"Father Xu regretted it, but Xie Ying was too heartbroken, so she asked to change her surname to Xie and become a child of the Xie family. After some discussion, the surname was changed."
Shishi exclaimed that she had been cheated, "I wasn't even in the compound, yet such an exciting thing happened."
"And then what happened?"
"Later, they changed their surname and were registered in the Xie family's household register. Their new parents were so happy that they bought a lot of fruit candies and distributed them in the compound."
“I’m a witness. I took the most, 10 pieces. And I was the only one who took the most expensive White Rabbit milk candy, plus a can of fruit.”
She took out 10 milk candies and shared them with her friends.
"My younger brother ate the canned fruit. My mother said this is wedding candy and told me to save it for you to eat when you come back."
Seven friends, one candy each, and the remaining three were given to the head of the family by Daya.
"The little one is still too young; she can eat candy when she grows up."
Daya has a strong sense of responsibility as an older sister, and she made a point of explaining it to the little guy.
Shi Shi was disappointed that she didn't get to see the big juicy gossip on the spot, so she decided to nibble on the tail end.
After finishing our fruit tea, before dinner, we gathered our friends to head to Xie Daliang's house.
