"Cold~" San Tiao, who was afraid that his brother would fall, grabbed Liu Tiao's ankles and asked his mother for help.
Cheng Zhenzhu put down the pomelo, picked up Xiao Liutiao and put him in the corner of the bed. Liutiao tilted his head and looked at his mother eagerly, with a look of grievance.
"Be good, I'll share some pomelo with you later." Cheng Zhenzhu touched the little guy's soft hair.
"Oh oh~" Liu Tiao cried out twice and drooled at Yuzu.
Seeing the little creature had stopped crawling around, Cheng Zhenzhu continued to peel the pomelo. Only some of the skin remained. Once the skin was peeled off, Cheng Zhenzhu effortlessly broke the pomelo apart.
"Let's eat two slices first." Cheng Zhenzhu took two slices of pomelo for San Tiao and put Liu Tiao, who was waving "Ah ah", into her pocket.
The pomelo was very sweet. San Tiao, who already loved oranges, was particularly fond of this sweet pomelo. He took two bites of the flesh and then, imitating his mother, slowly peeled the skin.
"So delicious~" Peng Sandiao ate so much that his eyebrows were curved.
"Ahh~" Liu Tiao couldn't wait to open his mouth and show a few sparse little teeth to his mother.
Cheng Zhenzhu fed Liu Tiao some fruit pulp and stuffed some into his hand. This little guy is most obedient when he has something in his hands and mouth...
Soon, the three of them had finished peeling half the pomelo. Cheng Zhenzhu cleaned up the pomelo peel and put Liu Tiao to play on the bed. She also threw off the quilt and got into bed, intending to go to the sea to fulfill her promise.
Seeing that his mother was in a daze again, San Tiao didn't bother her and played by himself in the corner of the bed.
Liu Tiao was a small kid, and he had no concept of being in a daze. But he could sense that his mother was different from before. So he sat in another corner, playing with a snowman doll. When he got bored, he would go and poke at his three brothers.
"Don't do that, be good~" When San Tiao saw Liu Tiao finish picking at his snowman doll and then try to pick at his snowman doll's eyes, he quickly hid himself to prevent Liu Tiao from finding him.
Liu Tiao is a man with little patience. When he couldn't find it, he went back to his own territory. But soon he got bored and rolled behind his three brothers to play...
Cheng Zhenzhu could see the interaction between the two little kids, but since they didn't cry or make a fuss, she just focused on removing barnacles from the turtles in line.
The old turtle looked in good spirits today. She reapplied seaweed mud to the wounds caused by barnacles and fed it two more.
The little turtle kept circling around Cheng Zhenzhu, and he also wanted her a little.
"When it's over, you will get it too." Cheng Zhenzhu told the little turtle.
The little turtle, having understood the meaning, was very satisfied and sat quietly beside Cheng Zhenzhu waiting for it to end.
Three hours later, Cheng Zhenzhu finished her consultation for the day and distributed seaweed mud to a dozen turtles, one for each turtle, just like yesterday.
Seeing that it was the same delicious food from yesterday, the turtles immediately ate it. They had felt a particularly good sensation after eating it yesterday, and today the feeling was even more pronounced...
After the turtles finished eating the seaweed mud, Cheng Zhenzhu said goodbye temporarily. There were still a few turtles left, so we continued in the afternoon.
When he regained consciousness, the two tired little kids were already fast asleep on the bed. San Tiao was holding a snowman doll tightly in his pocket, while Liu Tiao was still aware of himself, searching for the corner of the quilt to cover himself, clutching the snowman doll, with one foot resting on San Tiao's belly.
It seems that they still love each other very much...
Cheng Zhenzhu put the two little kids away. Liu Tiao, alert, sensed the movement and snapped his eyes open to check. Seeing Cheng Zhenzhu and his three older brothers sleeping nearby, he quickly closed his eyes again.
"Mom, I'm back~" Peng Ertiao came back, smelled the fragrance, and ran straight to the kitchen.
"You're back just in time, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"Mom, what delicious food are you making again?" Peng Ertiao washed his hands and turned into a curious baby.
"Make some mixed vegetable dumplings." It was late, and the three and two had fallen asleep again. She was too lazy to steam rice or cook.
"Mixed vegetable dumplings?" Peng Ertiao looked at the meat on the chopping board and asked, "Do you want to put more meat on it?"
"Yes, add the meat." Cheng Zhenzhu minced the meat and chopped five soaked mushrooms. Then she added the scrambled eggs to the flour mixture. She also mixed the minced meat and mushrooms in and stirred.
"It looks delicious!" Peng Ertiao licked his lips and reached for the fire tongs. "Mom, I'll help you light the fire."
"Okay." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and cut two more tomatoes to make the base soup for the dumpling soup.
After the seasonings are prepared and the soup base is made, it's time to put the dumplings in and cook. The dumplings quickly turn transparent and emit a fragrant aroma...
"It's so delicious!" Peng Ertiao grabbed the big bowl and drank it all. It was a pity that his brother was not at home and his younger brother was asleep, otherwise he thought he could have eaten more.
Food tastes better when there are more people around!
But being alone seemed like a good idea. Peng Ertiao saw the half pomelo left on the table and, with his mother's permission, took it to the yard to eat.
After eating half of the fruit, Peng Ertiao put the skin in the stove and buried the core in the sand, wishing that more big and delicious fruits would grow next year...
Cheng Zhenzhu saw Ertiao squatting in the corner of the yard and muttering for a while, and then started chasing Sitiao and Five others everywhere, and she was very happy.
According to Ertiao's complaint, Sitiao and Wutiao dug holes again and dug up the grapefruits he planted.
"You're not listening! I'll deal with you when I come back!" Peng Ertiao put his hands on his hips, breathing softly, like a little penguin.
After a simple lunch, dinner was a must. Cheng Zhenzhu brought out a bag of mutton, planning to make a mutton hot pot with some white radish cubes to warm her body.
The mutton, including the skin and bones, weighs more than two pounds. Wash it, blanch it, stir-fry it with spices, and stew it in a space pot.
Cut a radish into thick chunks and soak seven or eight shiitake mushrooms. Add some fried tofu, meatballs, and vegetables—it'll be a big pot. Also, soak some vermicelli noodles. Those who want to eat can eat, and those who want to eat vermicelli can eat...
Cheng Zhenzhu prepared the ingredients and continued her "consultation." However, this time her "consultation" didn't last long.
Her son San Tiao woke up. Not long after, Liu Tiao also woke up.
The freshly cooked dumpling soup was still in the space. Cheng Zhenzhu helped Liu Tiao put on his clothes and scooped a bowl for San Tiao, who had just woken up and was still a little soft.
The three of them ate in small bites, their eyes shining.
"Brother, the eggs inside are delicious, the meat is delicious, the mushrooms are delicious, and the tomatoes are also super delicious." Peng Ertiao sat next to Santiao and introduced them to his brother.
San Tiao blinked, looked at his second brother, and said softly, "Shit?"
"Then let me have a bite?" Peng Ertiao looked at his mother a little embarrassedly.
