Zhou Erqian snatched it, held it to her nose, and smelled it. Her eyes lit up. "Mom, what is this? Where did it come from? Why does it smell so good?"
As he spoke, he broke off half of it and stuffed it into Zhuang Rongrong's hand.
"Rongrong, you should try some too."
With outsiders present, Madam Qin did not reveal that Sisi had obtained the items, but simply smiled faintly and said, "Peaches I picked up."
"Mom, you're so lucky!"
Zhou Dawei smiled gently, "Rongrong is here, come inside quickly and play with Sisi."
Zhuang Rongrong nodded as a greeting.
Zhou Erqian, while eating, led Zhuang Rongrong into the yard, chattering excitedly, "It's so delicious! It's fragrant and sweet, the best thing I've ever eaten."
He didn't see that Zhuang Rongrong was stuffing the peach into her mouth as if it were a precious treasure, and the resentment in her eyes was growing stronger.
The Zhou family actually possesses immortal peaches!
These peaches are specially reserved for the Queen Mother of the West; just smelling them grants immortality. How could the Zhou family possess them???
The beautiful smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
"How are the peaches? There are still several left; we'll cut them all up after dinner..."
The old lady came out happily, carrying peaches, and was taken aback when she met Zhuang Rongrong's gaze. "Rongrong's here?"
Zhuang Rongrong's face was so contorted it was unrecognizable.
Even a single peach is incredibly precious, yet the Zhou family has several? And they even found them! What kind of incredible luck is this?
Qin said, "Rongrong said her house collapsed and she has nowhere to stay tonight, so she wants to sleep at our house for the night."
The old lady had no expression. "Fine, you can stay for one night. You can sleep with her, and I'll sleep with Sisi."
Qin was unwilling, but with him in front of her, she couldn't say anything and could only nod.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhou, Aunt Zhou, thank you both." After saying this, Zhuang Rongrong wiped away her tears with great sadness.
She was truly heartbroken and truly filled with hatred.
Seeing her cry, Zhou Erqian felt bad too. "Rongrong, don't cry. You still have me. You can live with me. As long as I'm here, you'll always have a place to live."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a kick from Madam Qin. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's a girl!"
Zhou Erqian blushed instantly.
"Go and cook for your grandma!" Qin ordered sternly, and he had no choice but to obey.
Qin and Zhou Dawei were busy building the wall, while Zhou Erqian and the old lady were busy cooking in the kitchen.
Long Sisi saw the carp spirit sitting alone, its eyes frequently glancing at the big pot, and she knew something was wrong.
Could this wicked carp spirit be plotting against the big pot?
As Long Sisi was thinking, a refreshing peach was slipped into her hand. She looked down and frowned. "Wu Guoguo, this is a peach for you. It's very sweet."
Xie Yan took a rag and dried the bird, saying indifferently, "I don't like to eat it."
Long Sisi, with her innocent mind, took a small bite and handed it to him, the peach still bearing tiny teeth marks. "Half for each of us?"
Xie Yan shook his head.
The blackbird, having been humiliated, looked listless and could no longer fly. After being cleaned, its feathers were no longer black, but instead had a faint reddish tinge, and its tail feathers even shimmered with iridescent light in the sunlight.
Long Sisi felt a sense of familiarity; she seemed to have seen it somewhere before, perhaps during the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Festival…
Oh dear, I can't remember.
"Five pots, we need to get them..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhuang Rongrong suddenly squeezed in at an inopportune moment, almost knocking Long Sisi over.
Xie Yan held the little one, his expression somewhat cold.
Zhuang Rongrong ignored them, staring at the bird with a mixture of jealousy and excitement, "Where did this bird come from?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Zhuang Rongrong realized that she had overreacted and calmed herself down.
Wen smiled and said, "Brother Yan, where did this bird come from? It's quite pretty."
"I found it."
It was found, it was found again!
Zhuang Rongrong was furious. She wanted nothing more than to smash the Zhou family's house to pieces and dig three feet into the ground to see what strange things were in there. Picking peaches was out of the question.
Now you can even find the ancient mythical beast Vermilion Bird!
This is an ancient mythical beast!!!
Zhuang Rongrong wished she could pick it up and place it on the table.
How dare you look at a stinky fish like that?
The black bird rolled its eyes at her, flapped its wings, and flew into Long Sisi's arms, complaining pitifully.
"Princess, princess, you bad guy was so rough! It hurts so much! I have no strength left!"
How could a majestic ancient mythical beast be acting cute and ingratiating in the arms of a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler?
Zhuang Rongrong gritted her teeth. Why? Why should all the good things go to this little brat!
"Little Sisi, this big...bird is so beautiful! Look at its tail feathers, they're as pretty as a rainbow. Has it been named yet?"
Long Sisi didn't want to pay attention to this naughty carp, and instead put her arm around the Great Demon King's shoulder and said, "Fifth Brother, why don't you give the black bird a name?"
"noob."
"ha?"
Long Sisi looked at the black bird from left to right but couldn't see anything wrong with it. Was there something wrong with the Great Demon King's eyesight?
Blackbird bristles: You're the newbie, your whole family is newbie, you're all white!
The little guy glanced absentmindedly at the Great Demon King's neck and muttered with admiration, "It is indeed quite white."
Xie Yan, "..."
"Let's call him Xiaobai!"
The blackbird struggled and resisted, but to no avail.
Long Sisi patted its head and coaxed, "Little White, be good. Little White will become whiter with care."
Zhuang Rongrong sneered inwardly. How could they give such a magnificent ancient divine beast such a name? She must be furious.
Unexpectedly, when Sisi patted its head, it became obedient and accepted the name very well.
Zhuang Rongrong, "..."
"Dinner's ready!" Qin called out.
Xie Yan carried the little one into the house, and Zhou Erqian hurriedly came over and took Zhuang Rongrong's hand attentively.
"Rongrong, Mom made so much delicious food today. Eat more later, you've gotten so thin."
Zhuang Rongrong smiled gently, "Okay."
At the dinner table, Zhuang Rongrong expressed her envy and jealousy once again, so angry that she almost pinched her palms raw.
She hasn't had a hearty meal of meat and fish in ages.
And those spiritual herbs! Those are celestial herbs capable of bringing the dead back to life! How could they just cook them like vegetables?!
What a waste!
He felt increasingly unwilling to accept it.
She's been absorbing the Zhou family's good fortune for so long, and she's never even seen the bear meat stir-fried on the table, let alone divine beasts, spiritual herbs, or peaches!
Did the Zhou family's luck suddenly explode the moment Zhou Dawei returned?
Zhuang Rongrong glanced at Zhou Dawei casually, and sure enough, his aura was radiating golden light.
"Brother Dawei, I heard you're going to marry Sister Xiaohua from the village, is that true?"
She grew up with Zhou Dawei since she was little, and he treated her like a younger sister, with kindness and gentleness.
"Yes, Rongrong must come and congratulate me then."
Zhuang Rongrong smiled shyly, "Of course, oh right, I also want to give Brother Dawei and Sister-in-law Xiaohua a gift, it's a pair."
After she finished speaking, she took two things out of her bosom.
