Chapter 488 Big Pomelo Eats Small Pomelo
Xu Qingsong reached out and touched Youyou's head: "Little Youzi, I think you want to eat."
Youyou laughed when her little thoughts were exposed.
Jinghe said: "He didn't even think about it at first. It was grandma and grandpa who suddenly decided to come back together. Then he remembered the food that Youyou and I talked about, so he said he wanted to come over to try it."
Liu Wangxue understood and pinched Youyou's chubby little chin: "It has aroused the greed in our little Youyou's stomach."
Youyou is ticklish and hides behind her hand while laughing.
Xu Qingsong pretended to be embarrassed: "Oh, but it's winter now. The lotus roots in the lotus fields have been dug up long ago. How can we make fried lotus root boxes without lotus roots?"
This is not a problem for Youyou: "You can buy it. It's available in the supermarket."
Liu Wangxue hugged him: "Our Youyou is still smart!"
Jinghe said, "Dad also said that he would make a barbecue at home, and asked me to ask my sister and uncle when I come over to see when you are free so that we can all get together."
"I'm sure I'm very free, any day is fine." Liu Wangxue said.
Xu Qingsong said: "Not recently, after all, it's almost the New Year."
Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, which is the Little New Year in the north, and the 24th day after tomorrow is the Little New Year in the south. The two masters in the studio and Liu Nanshan started preparing several days ago, saying that they would not favor one over the other, so that both northern and southern colleagues could celebrate. That is to say, they will celebrate the Little New Year for two days, and the headquarters in Hai City - yes, now Jingshan Technology in Hai City is called the headquarters - also celebrates it this way.
"Oh, right," Liu Wangxue just remembered that she had almost lost track of the date. "Then it has to be after the Spring Festival."
Jinghe said: "My father also thought so, but let me ask you first. He said that he and mom have nothing to do right now, so it depends on when you want to get together."
"Then let's do it after the Spring Festival," Liu Wangxue said, looking at Xu Qingsong, "I heard from Sister Hua Xin that Tao Huayu's company was very busy before the New Year, and your studio will have so many days off. Now everyone is working overtime at any time. Du Yunkai seems to be very busy too."
The studio will be on holiday from the 28th day of the lunar year to the 7th day of the lunar year, a full ten days.
She smiled as she spoke: "I saw Xiaoyu these past two days. He is almost like Jin Zhaofei. He has dark circles under his eyes and looks listless. He must have stayed up late to draw pictures."
Xu Qingsong nodded. It was true. When Li Yu came here, he was severely exploited by Gu Zicheng. He showed no mercy at all because he was still a student. He even called it "tempering".
When Youyou heard "Xiaoyu", she asked: "Brother Xiaoyu? Where is he?"
Liu Wangxue answered him: "Brother Xiaoyu is here too. Does Youyou still remember Uncle Du?"
There was a slightly confused look on Youyou's face, and it seemed that she didn't remember it very well.
"It's not important, it's not important," Xu Qingsong said with a smile, "Anyway, your brother Xiaoyu is already here, let your brother take you to play with him tomorrow, okay?"
Youyou agreed, and Xu Qingsong told Jinghe the location of the studio and asked him to take Youyou there when he is free tomorrow.
The topic then turned to the studio, and I told Youyou, who was full of curiosity and had lots of questions, about all the delicious food and fun things.
Then Jing He turned back and said, "Sister, the party will be held at my house. I'll go back and tell Dad."
Liu Wangxue was worried that it would be inconvenient to go to their house, mainly because of the utensils. It would be a waste if Shen Nian'an bought new ones, and it would be troublesome for her to move them there and back again: "Why don't you just come to my place? We have everything here, and your father doesn't have to prepare anything. And--"
Liu Wangxue pointed outside the window and said, "My new house has been built. You all missed the last party. Why don't you come and make up for it?" Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue definitely couldn't come in person, but they sent her a gift.
Youyou likes Liu Wangxue's place. Last time, Wang Keng's barbecue captured his taste buds. He felt that as long as he was at Liu Wangxue's place, he would definitely be able to eat it again. After hearing this, he nodded vigorously: "Great, great! Sister, is there Uncle Dakeng?"
Liu Wangxue didn't react for a moment when she heard this name, so Xu Qingsong reminded her: "Wang Keng."
Liu Wangxue remembered and said to Youyou, "Yes! We can invite Uncle Dakeng over as well, okay?"
Youyou said loudly: “Okay!”
Liu Wangxue looked at Jing He again: "How about you come to my place?"
Jinghe said, "Then I'll go back and ask my dad."
Youyou held Xiaoci in her arms and rubbed against it. She looked up and saw the pomelo he brought on the coffee table. She pulled Liu Wangxue's sleeve and said, "Sister, eat the pomelo. It's sweet and delicious. It's red and very beautiful."
Oh, it's a red heart.
Xu Qingsong took out a fruit knife from under the coffee table: "Okay, I'll open it."
Remove the sheath, cut off a piece of the skin at the base of the pomelo, and then make a few vertical cuts, and the skin will be peeled off in a lotus shape.
As soon as the fragrance spread, Xiaoci immediately hid away, ran out of Youyou's arms, borrowed strength from the armrest of the sofa, and jumped onto its cat climbing frame.
Liu Wangxue laughed at it: "Really, it is only so agile when it meets its own needs."
Youyou chased after Xiaoci. The cat climbing frame was a little high for him. Xiaoci was at the top and he couldn't reach it. He jumped up and down: "Cat, come down, why did you run up there? Don't you miss me? Don't you want to play with me?"
Xiaoci curled himself up into a ball, buried his nose under his paws, closed his eyes, and ignored Youyou.
The door and windows of the living room were open, and it wouldn't be long before the strong smell would dissipate. Liu Wangxue carried Youyou back and sat her down: "It doesn't like this smell, it will be fine after a while."
Youyou sniffed and said, "It smells good. Youzu smells good. Why doesn't it like it?"
Jinghe said: "Just like you don't like the taste of garlic, you think it's spicy, but grandpa likes to eat it, he thinks it's very fragrant."
"Yuzu is fragrant," Yuzu emphasized. How could anyone, no, how could a cat not like it? After saying that, he thought again: "Oh - cats think it is spicy, so they don't like it." Just like he thinks garlic is spicy.
Well, poor cat, Youyou thought, just like him, he can’t taste the deliciousness of garlic, and the cat can’t smell the fragrance of grapefruit, they are both so pitiful.
The three of them laughed after hearing this and thought he was so cute.
Liu Wangxue held Youyou's little face and rubbed it: "Why are you so cute?" Can you tell him that garlic is spicy, not just because he thinks it's spicy? Youyou was praised and shook her head in agreement: "I am cute~"
Xu Qingsong had already broken the pomelo into pieces one by one. After the three of them wiped their hands with wet tissues, he gave one piece to Jinghe, picked up another piece, peeled it, and handed it to Youyou: "Here, little Youzi, eat the big one."
"Thank you, uncle~" Youyou took it and raised the pomelo again, correcting Xu Qingsong's words, "It's the big pomelo that eats the small pomelo. I am the big pomelo now, and it is the small pomelo, because I am bigger than it."
Xu Qingsong peeled another piece and handed it to Liu Wangxue, smiling and saying, "Okay, uncle is wrong, it's the big pomelo that eats the small one."
Youyou was delighted and took a bite: "Wow, so sweet and delicious~"
Seeing the four people eating, Pengpeng and Guagua wanted to join in the fun. Liu Wangxue didn't allow them to be fed, so Xu Qingsong broke off a banana from the fruit bowl, peeled it and shared some with the two of them. The smell of grapefruit in the air was not so strong anymore, and the smell of ripe bananas wafted in the air. Xiaoci came out of her face-burying state, jumped off the cat climbing frame, and came over.
Xu Qingsong broke off some of the remaining bananas and fed them to Xiaoci. Seeing this, Youyou quickly reached out her hand and said, "Uncle, let me feed you. I'll do it."
"Okay, you come." Xu Qingsong put the small piece of banana in Youyou's palm.
Youyou brought the banana to Xiaoci, who licked it from his hand and started eating it.
Youyou saw that Maomao only licked the banana with his tongue for many times without leaving any part. He held the half-eaten pomelo in his other hand and began to teach Xiaoci: "Maomao, you can't just lick it, you have to bite it, look at me, ah--"
He took a solid bite, chewed it, and swallowed it, then said, "This is how you have to eat it."
Xiao Ci was just concentrating on licking the banana and didn't look at him. Maybe she felt that she couldn't put the banana into her mouth after licking it all the time, so she opened her mouth and took a bite.
Youyou was so happy that she showed it to everyone and praised Xiaoci: "Maomao, you are awesome! If you were in our small class, the teacher would definitely give you stickers and reward you handsomely."
After Xiaoci finished eating the banana, she licked Youyou's palm again, trying to clean up the remaining residue. Youyou was ticklish, so she just giggled and didn't take her hand back.
Xiaoci licked twice and then lay on Youyou's legs without moving.
Liu Wangxue took a wet towel to help Youyou wipe her hands.
The fruit was a little cold, so she didn't dare let him eat too much. After he finished eating the piece in his hand, Liu Wangxue carried him to the bathroom to wash his hands and divert his attention: "Let's wash our hands and then go to visit the new house, okay?"
"Okay!" Youyou had grapefruit juice in one hand and stretched out her little arm to prevent it from getting on Liu Wangxue's clothes.
There was no small stool for children in the bathroom, so Liu Wangxue turned a basin upside down and asked Youyou to stand on it. She helped him roll up his sleeves, turned on the faucet to test the water temperature, then held his little hand and put it under the faucet to rinse it. She also applied some hand soap and rubbed and washed with him.
After the two of them finished washing, Xu Qingsong and Jinghe also went to wash their hands, and the four of them went to the small building together, with the other three following behind them.
As soon as she entered the living room, Youyou saw the three big dolls that Li Yu had given her on the sofa. She ran over and hugged Xiaoci's doll: "Cat, there's another one for you here."
Xiaoci ignored him and built a cat climbing frame for it in the living room. It was bigger and had more structures than the one over there. It ran up and inspected its territory.
After touring upstairs and downstairs, the sun was already setting, and the things drying in the yard and on the roof of the bungalow could be brought into the house.
This time, all the things will be collected in the small building.
The original plan was to move into the small building at the end of January, but Liu Wangxue was revising the script, so she thought of letting her parents move in first, and move the things in her room after the revisions were completed. She would also sleep in the bungalow for the time being.
Liu Nanshan had to go to work in the canteen, so if they wanted to move, Gu Xuelan would have to do it alone. So she said that she would wait until Liu Wangxue finished revising the script, and the family of three would set aside a day to do it together.
The plan was to move it today, but the framing shop called again, and Gu Xuelan wanted to quickly take the cross stitch back to see how the finished product turned out, so she postponed it to tomorrow. Then there was no need to put the things that were dried today in the bungalow, and they could put them directly in the building, so that people could go there to sleep at night.
Jinghe helped Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong put away things. Youyou also came to help, putting away pillows and picking up clothes, running back and forth with them.
They didn't have much to dry, so they quickly collected all the things they needed. Jinghe then prepared to take Youyou home.
They hadn't planned to come over this afternoon, as they were cleaning the house, so Shen Nian'an wanted them to come over tomorrow morning. Youyou was very obedient, and although he missed the cat very much, he didn't make a fuss to come over to play, but he was obviously unhappy.
Grandma and grandpa couldn't bear to see their precious grandson in this state, so they discussed with Shen Nian'an and joked that Youyou was trapped by longing: "Let Jinghe take Youyou. Didn't you prepare gifts? Let Jinghe carry them. After all, they are just children, they just want to go out to play, and there is no time limit."
After getting permission, Youyou cheered, and when she saw Jinghe holding the gift, she ran over to pick up a pomelo as well. On the way back, she saw a pickup truck parked on the street, and an uncle was selling pomelo. Shen Nian'an thought it was interesting, so he bought a bag and brought it back. When he got home, he peeled one, and it was really delicious, so he gave one to each of his neighbors. Youyou followed suit and wanted to share with Liu Wangxue, too. How could she leave out her sister's family? No way!
Seeing Jinghe taking Youyou away, Pengpeng was particularly reluctant to let them go. He ran into the house and came out with his ball in his mouth, wanting Jinghe to play with him for a while.
Jinghe stopped walking, and when Youyou saw that he was not leaving, she went back to play with Xiaoci who was about to send him out.
When Jinghe reached out to catch the ball, it refused to let go and ran out of the yard. When it reached the door, it turned back to look at Jinghe.
After Jinghe caught up, it took two more steps outside.
Jing He didn't understand, so he asked Liu Wangxue: "Sister, what does Peng Peng want to do? Is it going somewhere?"
Liu Wangxue held Gu Gua in his palm, and squatted with Xu Qingsong to watch Youyou teasing the cat - or to be more precise, the cat teasing the child. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and looked towards the gate of the courtyard. He immediately understood. It was facing the threshing ground: "It should want to go to the threshing ground to play with you."
After Liu Wangxue finished speaking, she asked Xu Qingsong, "Why don't we all go? The last time Jinghe went back to Beijing, Pengpeng was sad for several days. Now that he's finally back, why don't we take him for a run? It's close to Brother Shen's house, so they can go straight back after playing."
"Okay." Xu Qingsong had no objection.
I knew about Pengpeng Emo's incident on the day I went back. I still felt sad when I heard it again. I squatted down and hugged Pengpeng, touched its head and kissed it: "I miss you too."
They left as soon as they said they would. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong took the keys, locked the door, and went to the threshing ground with the two children and the three little ones.
Pengpeng was so happy that he ran forward quickly and waited for them in front. When he saw that they were walking slowly, he ran back to urge them to go, then continued to run forward and wait for them at the intersection.
There was already a group of children playing together in the threshing ground. It was the beginning of the winter vacation and the New Year was coming soon, so they didn't have to rush to do their winter vacation homework. They just had fun. Some were playing with spinning tops, rolling hoops, kicking shuttlecocks, jumping rubber bands, playing with balls, and so on.
The children who had passed by Tao Huayu's house before were also there, including the little girl named Leilei and her brother. It was funny to say that the little guy's illness was cured that night, but it was just that the medicine he took took effect, and he happened to eat the boxed cake given by Tao's mother. The siblings were amazed and thought it was the magical effect of the small cake.
The next day, the siblings went out to spread the news. Of course, the adults didn't believe it, but the children of their age believed it. When they were sick and didn't want to take medicine, they told the adults at home that they could eat Uncle Huayu's small cakes, and they would get better immediately after eating. The adults had no choice but to coax the children and buy them medicine if they took it obediently. After hearing what the people who went to buy cakes said, Tao's mother really laughed for a long time.
In addition to the siblings, there were also the friends who took Youyou to pick lotus seeds, including the particularly sturdy Xiaopang and Yaya, who had pigtails and taught Liu Wangxue how to peel lotus seeds. Youyou had played with them a lot before, and had just seen them when she came back in the afternoon, so she immediately brought Xiaoci and Guagua to join them.
As soon as the three little ones arrived, they quickly became the focus among the children. Almost everyone came over to greet them and asked Liu Wangxue if they could touch them.
The community cow chatters like a fish in water, alternating between bird language and Mandarin, and can respond to anything you say.
Pengpeng ran around with Jinghe and a few older kids.
But Xiao Ci was not like that. Even though she was indulgent towards her cubs, she couldn't stand so much enthusiasm. In a fit of annoyance, she ran to Xu Qingsong's feet, climbed up his trouser legs to his shoulders, and squatted there "looking down on everyone."
The children laughed together: "The cat is shy!"
