Uncle Wang really didn't want to talk about foot soaking anymore, otherwise it would be a problem whether he could keep his job, so he quickly said, "Okay, Uncle Xu, you take your time soaking, then we'll go in."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that the other person didn't seem to want to soak in the bath, Xu Dongru didn't force him.
Uncle Wang walked over and pushed Wensran back into the house.
The layout of the entire room has been remodeled. The four rooms at the back are for living and have separate bathrooms. The living room and kitchen are on the left. The house on the right is empty and contains some old items from the Xu family that have not been moved.
Uncle Wang pushed Wen Siran into the living room and placed the bayberries in his hand on the coffee table.
Wen Shanshan was full, but she still felt a little greedy when she thought about the taste of the sour plum soup.
She picked up a bayberry and prepared to wash it in the kitchen, saying, "Brother, it's such a pity that you didn't go to dinner today. Aunt Wang's cooking skills are very good. I ate three bowls of rice tonight, and I was so full."
She went to wash the bayberries and came back.
Wen Siran sneered twice and said, "Then you are really a pig. You have eaten three bowls of rice and you can still eat more."
Wen Shanshan snorted lightly. She was in a good mood today and ignored her brother.
She sat on a wooden rattan chair, looking at a big red bayberry in her hand. It looked delicious, so she took a bite without hesitation.
"Hmm, this bayberry is too sweet!"
Aunt Liu was always worried about losing her job, so she quickly picked up the bag of bayberries on the table and said, "Miss, I'll go wash them all. There aren't many bayberries anyway."
Wen Shanshan still wanted to eat more, but she didn't know why she felt unhappy when she heard Aunt Liu's next words, just like protecting her child: "There's not much, Aunt Wang packed nearly a pound for us. If we sell such delicious bayberries, we can get a lot of money per pound."
"Yes, yes, I just thought that since there are so many of us, we can finish eating after washing." Aunt Liu explained with a smile.
"Yes, then you wash it." Wen Shanshan nodded and ate the remaining bayberries in her hand. They were so delicious that she felt her stomach didn't hurt after eating them. She could finish all the bayberries by herself! Wen Siran's wheelchair was facing Wen Shanshan. He usually had no interest in watching Wen Shanshan eat anything, but today, he didn't know what was going on. It was just a bayberry, but he could vaguely smell the good bayberry smell from such a distance.
He thought of Yangmei, his throat subconsciously rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
But he knew that this was not a sign of wanting to eat. It was just like thinking of lemon. Thinking of this sour thing would make one drool.
After a while, Aunt Liu placed the washed bayberries on several plates on the coffee table.
Wen Shanshan was eating very happily and asked her brother casually: "Brother, do you eat bayberry?"
Wensran shook his head habitually.
But the next second, he suddenly wanted to try the taste. He didn't know why, but the air was filled with the smell of bayberry. It was faint, as if it was tempting him to eat the bayberry.
So he opened his mouth and was about to say let’s give it a try.
Wen Shanshan no longer looked at him and asked Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu to eat.
Aunt Liu waved her hand and said she didn't want to eat.
Uncle Wang said against his will: "You and Si Ran can eat, I'm full from dinner."
In fact, his greed had already been aroused. The sour plum soup he drank before had left him with an endless aftertaste. The bayberries were big and red and looked delicious.
But his mission was to take good care of Si Ran and Shan Shan. Shan Shan loved to eat so much, so he still didn't eat.
After hearing this, Wen Shanshan said, "My brother doesn't eat it. Although I can finish it by myself, it's not good to eat so many bayberries."
Wen Siran's words about wanting to taste it were suddenly choked in his throat.
As soon as you bite the bayberry in your mouth, fresh bayberry juice will flow out. The unique fragrance of bayberry will fill your mouth, making you feel refreshed and comfortable.
"This bayberry is so delicious." Uncle Wang finished eating one and couldn't help but reached out and grabbed a few more to eat.
"Uncle Wang, your hometown is so nice. It would be nice if you could come earlier." Wen Shanshan leaned back in the chair and sighed comfortably, "But it's not too late now. It's so comfortable here."
"Yes, it's very quiet at night. It's past nine o'clock now, and I feel a little sleepy." Uncle Wang yawned.
"Me too. Maybe I ate too much tonight. I tend to feel sleepy when I'm full." Wen Shanshan said as she never stopped eating bayberries.
She thought about going to dinner tomorrow, so she asked her brother, "Brother, you would never guess that the cabbage from that day was from the landlord's house. Auntie is also very nice. She asked me to go to dinner tomorrow and take you with me. Do you want to go?"
Wen Siran was also a little surprised. It was such a coincidence, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Wen Shanshan subconsciously took this as a rejection. After all, her brother always refused in this regard and she was used to it.
"Okay then, if you don't go, I'll go alone. I want to go play with Qingzhi."
Wen Siran taught him, "Don't just play around all day. Have you memorized the words for the Level 6 English Test? Do more exercises. Go back to school later. I don't need you to accompany me here."
Wen Shanshan imitated her brother's tone: "I know, let's talk about it later."
Wen Siran: “…”
Uncle Wang saw that the two siblings were quarreling again, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Si Ran, this bayberry tastes pretty good, do you want to try one?"
"Hmm." Wens walked down the stairs and picked up a bayberry and ate it.
Aunt Liu was slightly surprised. The young master finally ate again?
Wen Shanshan also knew that it was very difficult for her brother to eat. She had forced herself to eat something before, but he ended up vomiting it all out.
Since he went on a hunger strike after the car accident, the only thing he ate was the bok choy that time.
Wen Shanshan asked uncertainly: "Brother, how do you feel?"
"It tastes good." Wen Siran was able to eat it, and it was very comfortable to eat. He tried another one and ate it again.
He was very happy that he could eat, and now he could slowly accept the fact that he could not stand up. He just couldn't eat, and the feeling of vomiting made him very uncomfortable.
Last time he ate some bok choy and rice, he was in a good mood for several days.
Now, too, after he ate the bayberry, his whole body seemed as if its rotten body was coming back to life little by little.
"Qingzhi's food is really delicious, not only the pakchoi and bayberry, the water spinach, and tomato and egg soup are all very delicious. Her family sells vegetables for takeout, so let's eat the vegetables she grows in the future. I'll buy some tomorrow!" Wen Shanshan said excitedly.
Before, she just thought that her brother liked to eat bok choy, and she liked it too.
Now it seems that her brother can eat Yangmei, and maybe he will like other dishes as well.
Wen Siran nodded and said, "Okay."
