Yu Rujia: "That's right. If you eat strawberries that haven't been washed properly, your tummy will hurt, and you won't be able to eat the rest of the strawberries or other delicious food."
Duolu, who was also trying to sneak a strawberry when no one was looking, heard this and quickly threw the strawberry he was about to eat back into his basket, pretending that nothing had happened.
Tasuku, who was watching him closely from the side, glanced at him but didn't expose his little trick.
Duoxi settled down and obediently picked strawberries, though you could constantly hear the little ones drooling.
There were so many strawberries, and they were huge. After picking from twenty strawberry bushes, we picked more than ten kilograms of strawberries. There was still a thick layer of green or half-red strawberries left on the ground, and there were also quite a few flower buds on the strawberry bushes.
With the blessing of the spirit-gathering array, not only are the strawberries of better quality, but the quantity can also be greatly increased. A single strawberry tree can produce at least several kilograms of fruit.
After picking the strawberries, as they were about to leave the vegetable garden, Duoshou pointed to a small tree with dense blossoms and asked, "Auntie, what's this?"
Yu Rujia glanced at it and said, "That's a cherry tomato tree. Once their fruit turns red, they're ready to eat. They're delicious!"
Duo Shou's big eyes lit up; it was yet another new food she'd never tried before: "When will it turn red?"
Yu Rujia: "It will take about a month."
On the other side, Duolu looked at the fruits that were much bigger than his feet and asked, "Auntie, do we have to wait until they turn red before we can eat them?"
Yu Rujia: "That's right, watermelons can only be eaten when they turn red, and they need to grow for another month or two."
Doro asked with a curious look, "Is the watermelon delicious?"
Yu Rujia: "It's delicious!"
Duoshou: "Auntie, which is the tastiest: strawberry, cherry tomato, or watermelon?"
Yu Rujia: "That's hard to say. Just like Duoshou likes to eat vegetable leaves and Duolu likes to eat vegetable roots and stems, everyone's preferences are different. But for Auntie, they're all delicious."
Duofu said confidently, "I like everything Auntie likes."
Half-understanding, Duo Xixi echoed, "I like it, I like strawberries."
We picked a lot of strawberries today. Yu Rujia gave each of the three big ones eight strawberries, and Xiao Duoxi got six. Their strawberries are big, so eight strawberries weigh more than half a pound.
Strawberries are delicious, but you should still pay attention to the amount you eat, as eating too many may not be a good thing.
Doro's big eyes darted over the remaining strawberries in the basket, and he pleaded, "Auntie, can I have a few more?"
Yu Rujia: "No, eating too many strawberries will give you a stomachache. This is the amount your aunt is allotted to you."
The little ones, who had thought they could eat strawberries to their heart's content, were a bit disappointed when they heard that they had to limit their intake. However, they were quickly attracted by the brightly colored and delicious strawberries in front of them and started putting them in their mouths.
When there's something delicious to eat, Duolu naturally finishes his food the fastest.
After finishing his own portion, the little guy set his sights on Duoxi, who was the slowest eater and the easiest to fool. Duoxi still had four strawberries left to eat.
Duolu approached Duoxi with a fawning expression: "Duoxi, your second brother isn't full. Could you give me two strawberries to eat?"
While eating strawberries, Duoxi looked at Duolu with her big, cute eyes and said, "Second brother, you borrowed my strawberries yesterday, and you haven't returned them."
I was so focused on eating strawberries that I forgot to ask Doro to return them. Now that he's asking, Doro has remembered it again.
Duolu put his arm around Duoxi's shoulder, acting like two good brothers: "Duoxi, your second brother is older than you, and his belly can hold more. If it's not enough for you, I'll give you back the strawberries next time I have extra, okay? I'll also return the ones I borrowed today."
Duoxi glanced at his two older brothers, then looked back at Duolu, feeling that something was off, but his little brain had limited capacity and he couldn't quite grasp it.
Seeing her favorite second brother's expectant look, the innocent and adorable Duoxi gave two more strawberries to Duolu: "I'll lend you two, so you'll owe me... how many strawberries?"
Duoxi can count from one to three, but he can't do math. He held the strawberry and tried to figure out what one plus two equals for a long time, so he asked Duolu.
Doro immediately took two strawberries, popped one into his mouth, and casually replied, "I owe you a strawberry." He was also bad at math, but he could tell how many there were, so he picked the smallest number to announce.
Doki felt something was wrong again. She glanced at Doro, who had already finished one strawberry, and reached out her little paws to pick at the remaining strawberries, her heart full of doubts.
Duoxi: "Yesterday, my second brother lent me a strawberry. Today he lent me two strawberries, one, two, one, two..."
Unfortunately, he only had two strawberries left, and he couldn't get any more no matter how hard he tried. Finally, the little guy said definitively, "There are two. Second brother owes me two strawberries."
This was the first time the little guy had questioned his favorite second brother since he learned to speak. In the face of delicious food, Duoxi surprisingly stood his ground.
Doro felt a little guilty. Although he didn't know what one plus two equaled, he was sure it wasn't one. He pretended to be confused and said, "Really? I remember it being one."
Duo Shou couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's three. Duo Lu owes Duo Xi three strawberries."
Doro exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh, so many? You must be mistaken!"
Then the three little guys started arguing.
Yu Rujia watched the three children expounding their respective viewpoints and thought to herself that if Duolu and Duoxi had even a kindergarten education, they wouldn't be so self-righteous in believing they were right.
As the most educated son in the family, Duofu stepped forward and made the final judgment: "Duoshou is right, Duolu is missing three strawberries."
His prestige as the eldest brother was high enough in the hearts of his three younger brothers that he overshadowed them as soon as he appeared.
Duo Shou puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I told you there were three."
After the little guy finished speaking, he looked at his older brother with envy. He also said three, and as soon as he spoke, his two brothers argued with him; but when the older brother spoke, they quieted down.
He was right to follow his elder brother. Not only could he learn more knowledge from his elder brother, but he could also learn the art of controlling his younger brother. Once he had mastered it, both Duolu and Duoxi would respect him as they did their elder brother.
As for the fact that Duolu was his older brother, Duoshou never admitted it in his heart. Duolu was so stupid, he must be the younger brother.
The little guy was delighted with the number three. He held up his three short little fingers in front of Duolu and waved them, saying earnestly, "Second brother, there are three strawberries. You have to give me back three."
Duolu cried out in dismay, "Ah, three! How come there are so many?" He secretly thought to himself, "Will Duoxi forget about this tomorrow?"
