Cheng Yaoyao's little face changes eight hundred times a day, and Xie San still can't figure out the pattern. He put away his things and went to the big rock to get Cheng Yaoyao's shoes back. The sun was hot and they were already dried.
Xie San placed his shoes at Cheng Yaoyao's feet, and her white feet stepped down immediately, almost stepping on Xie San's fingers. Her skin was as soft as satin, and her heels were also smooth and soft. When they rubbed against the skin on the top of her hand, sparks flew and it was hot for a while.
This time, Cheng Yaoyao crossed the stream carefully. He first slowly put his foot into the water, stepped on the pebbles to stand firmly, and then put his other foot in. The stream rushed over happily, and staring at the water surface would give people the illusion of drifting with the waves, swaying with it.
Cheng Yaoyao grabbed the handle of Xie San's hatchet and crossed the stream carefully. This time he was not bitten by a snake and did not slip, and he reached the shore safely.
This experience of a pony crossing the river gave Cheng Yaoyao a boost of confidence, and he even said that he would cross the stream by himself tomorrow. Xie San remained silent. The water in the stream was only above his ankles, but from Cheng Yaoyao's tone, it sounded like he was going to cross the Duck Green River.
The road from the soybean field back to the village is really long. It was fine when we came, but the way back became very long. Moreover, Cheng Yaoyao worked hard today. His sore muscles did not get a rest yesterday, and he was overworked, so he was exhausted.
Cheng Yaoyao walked slower and slower, until she was literally dragging her feet. Xie San, carrying all the things on his back, slowed down his pace to accommodate her, but Cheng Yaoyao still groaned, "I can't walk anymore."
Cheng Yaoyao added: "I want to ride a bicycle."
This is just unreasonable.
Xie San was silent for a moment, then he untied the rope around his waist and handed it to her: "I'll drag you away."
"I'm not a dog!" Cheng Yaoyao said angrily.
After a while, Cheng Yaoyao dragged the rope and hung his whole body weight on Xie San. Xie San held the rope, facing the setting sun, and felt as if he was walking a small animal.
When they were still close to the village entrance, Xie San collected the rope and separated from Cheng Yaoyao. He had to go to the back mountain to collect a bundle of firewood, while Cheng Yaoyao carried the poplars and cherries and went home by himself.
In the evening, women in every household were busy, squatting at the door to wash rice and vegetables. Tianshui Village had nothing else but green vegetables, such as beans, bitter melon, loofah and mushrooms, which could be put in a wooden basin and rubbed with water before being put into the pot.
The women were picking vegetables while gossiping animatedly, and the person at the center of the conversation was none other than Cheng Yaoyao.
That incredibly beautiful young lady from the city, who had her eyes set on the top of her head and even looked down on the son of the village party secretary, came back yesterday riding the bicycle of the landlord's son!
"That female educated youth's hand was still around Xie San's waist, really!"
Zhang Aihua, the famous lazy woman in the village, sat at the entrance of the village, talking with saliva flying everywhere and making a lot of noise.
Lin Wangjia was picking beans and said, "You talk so convincingly, as if you saw it."
Zhang Aihua swore, "Of course not! My husband saw it in the fields yesterday when he was off work! Others saw it too, and the whole village knew about it! I wasn't the only one who said it!"
Jinnier couldn't stand it any longer and said, "That educated young woman Cheng doesn't know how to work, so the captain asked her to go and plant soybeans with Xie San."
A woman said, "Hey, didn't those educated youths go to the team leader to make trouble yesterday? If educated youth Cheng didn't want to go, why would he go with them again today?"
This morning, Cheng Yaoyao and Xie San left together, and everyone in the village saw it. Jin Nier stopped talking.
Lin Wangjia was surprised and asked, "How can a city girl like a landlord's son? Doesn't she know Xie San's background?"
"That's hard to say. Xie San went out to work with the construction team a while ago, and the group of educated youth just arrived. It's normal that we don't know."
The women were guessing. But then they saw a slender figure walking towards the village entrance. She had fair skin, peach blossom eyes, and a teardrop mole under her eye, which added to her charm. She had worked all day, but she didn't look sluggish at all.
Lin Wang's family squeezed their eyes and said, "Look, Guanyin is here."
The most handsome young man in Tianshui Village is called Yue Yun, and the most beautiful girl is called Guanyin.
Zhang Aihua rolled her eyes: "What Guanyin? You look like a fox spirit!"
Cheng Yaoyao passed by them without even glancing at them, and didn't even say hello, as if he was born superior to them. The women's self-pity suddenly turned into sour anger.
"Look at him, he's like a fairy, twisting his waist when he walks, just seducing men!"
Zhang Aihua spat the melon seed shells in her mouth onto the ground and yelled to Cheng Yaoyao, "Is Cheng Zhiqing off work? Come on, come over here."
Cheng Yaoyao turned around and saw a fat country woman grinning at him with her yellow teeth, waving like a dog. Cheng Yaoyao didn't recognize her and modestly.
Zhang Aihua, with a thick face like a city wall, came over and said, "I heard that you and Xie San went to work in the soybean field today. Was it just the two of you?"
As Zhang Aihua spoke, she winked at the woman next to her, and the other women also watched with a smile as if to see the excitement.
Cheng Yaoyao had been exposed to all kinds of malicious attacks from women since she was a child. How could she not see the conspiracy in the eyes and expressions of a group of country women? She immediately stopped smiling.
She was beautiful, and seemed unattainable when she wasn't smiling. She raised her eyes and glared at Zhang Aihua, and uttered two words from her rosy lips: "Guess?"
"Ahem." The woman next to him saw that Cheng Yaoyao spoke in a bad tone and started a conversation with him, changing the subject.
Zhang Aihua, however, was a person who could not read people's faces. She smiled at Cheng Yaoyao with a shameless face: "I heard that you rode Xie San's car into the village yesterday?"
Cheng Yaoyao really laughed this time: "Why are you asking me if you know this?"
Zhang Aihua slapped her thigh suddenly and said to Cheng Yaoyao in a heartfelt tone: "Cheng Zhiqing, sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. You just came here and don't know Xie San's identity."
Cheng Yaoyao slowly narrowed his eyes. Zhang Aihua continued, "Look at Xie San's appearance. If his family background wasn't too high, the marriage proposal would have already broken through the threshold."
The other women also said in unison: "What's the point of being handsome? There are two burdens at home, one old and one young."
"Xie has worked so hard for three years to earn cents, but now he has nothing to lose. Which girl would dare to jump into this fire pit?"
Zhang Aihua got more excited after receiving the help: "Sister-in-law, you are speaking from the bottom of your heart. Look at your appearance and figure. You are a girl from the city. Which family will you choose in the future..."
Cheng Yaoyao raised her hand and half covered her nose. The stench from Zhang Aihua's mouth made her almost vomit.
She raised her voice slightly and interrupted Zhang Aihua: "Sister-in-law, my grandmother lived to be a hundred years old. Do you know why?"
Cheng Yaoyao's voice was so pleasant that the women couldn't help but stop talking and look at her. Zhang Aihua was confused by the question, "Why... why?"
Her eyebrows were raised, and a teardrop mole was glittering under her peach blossom eyes. She was full of sarcasm: "Because she never meddles in other people's business."
After saying this, Cheng Yaoyao walked away, leaving the women with a slender and graceful back, like a proud swan.
What the hell! Cheng Yaoyao's face darkened as he turned around. It was really cheap to talk to such a person!
The evening breeze brought the aroma of food. I don't know who is having a feast today, the smell of garlic and chili in the oil pan wafted far away, making Cheng Yaoyao swallow her saliva. I don't know if it's because of the increase in labor, she is getting hungry very quickly now.
Cheng Yaoyao quickened his pace and walked towards the dormitory.
Dinner, however, was a big disappointment for Cheng Yaoyao: a plate of cold amaranth, a bowl of salted vegetable soup with a few oily spots, and two cold mixed dough balls.
The dormitory of the educated youths was full of Amaranthus, a wild vegetable with purple stems and green leaves, and a sour taste. It was plump and tender at this time. After washing and blanching, and mixing with salt and chili, it tasted sour and spicy. In the summer, when you come back from working in the fields and are tired and have no appetite, a bite of cold Amaranthus is the most appetizing.
Cheng Yaoyao had made it the day before yesterday, and everyone praised it highly. Cheng Nonuo also prepared a special dish today. But with Cheng Yaoyao's excellent performance as a precedent, the dish Cheng Nonuo made today tasted terrible.
At the dinner table, the educated youth complained in unison: "Nunuo, your cooking skills have not been up to par these past two days."
"This Amaranth tastes sour and bitter. It can't compare to what Yaoyao made."
Cheng Nuonuo apologized timidly: "I made it according to Sister Yaoyao's method, maybe the seasoning is not right. I will change the recipe tomorrow."
A male educated youth said, "Then your salted vegetable soup doesn't taste right. It tasted much better before."
Shen Yan frowned and knocked on the table: "Nono works hard to cook for you every day, but you never say a word of gratitude, but complain a lot. If you are not satisfied, let someone else do it."
Shen Yan had a good family background and his words carried a lot of weight among the educated youth. The others were embarrassed and kept silent.
Cheng Yaoyao had been chewing on the Wo Wo head without saying a word. He dropped the half Wo Wo head in his hand and smiled: "Okay, it's my turn."
Shen Yan didn't expect Cheng Yaoyao to speak, and looked at Cheng Yaoyao dumbfounded. Cheng Nonuo was also stunned: "Sister Yaoyao, you...you..."
Cheng Nonuo originally wanted to ask, "Can you cook?", but then she remembered what Cheng Yaoyao had shown off yesterday and realized that his cooking skills were indeed far superior to hers, and she was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Yaoyao slowly wiped his slender fingertips with a handkerchief and said, "We work under the scorching sun all day and are exhausted. You cook comfortably in the dormitory and the cafeteria, using the same centimeters as us, so you should cook well. If you can't do it well, then I'll do it. I'm confident that the food I cook will definitely taste better than yours. What do you think?"
Cheng Yaoyao glanced over and several male educated youths responded immediately. Han Yin also nodded: "I agree! It's a competition for the job. Yaoyao is good at cooking. I agree to let someone else cook."
Some people didn't say anything. After all, Cheng Nonuo spent so much time cooking. Let's not talk about the taste. The food she made made people feel energetic after eating it. This is obvious to all.
Shen Yan defended Cheng Nonuo: "Nonuo will cook for the canteen of the brigade. This is unanimously agreed by the brigade leader and the brigade cadres. Nonuo has to cook for you and the whole village alone, and the workload is not small."
"I know she's working hard." Cheng Yaoyao sneered, and her rosy lips uttered a provocation: "So, why don't you let me do this kind of hard work? What do you think?"
Han Yin immediately said, "I agree! Since you find this job too tiring, just give it to someone else. It's easy to talk to the team leader and the village cadres. Let Yaoyao show them some skills and see who they choose!"
The male educated youth naturally echoed Cheng Yaoyao. Shen Yan was insulted in public, and his face was so dark that water could drip from it. Cheng Nuonuo also lowered his head, looking pitiful and bullied.
Cheng Yaoyao ignored them, pushed the bowl aside after dinner, and ran to the yard to wash starberries and cherries.
It was still daylight at this time, and the red waxberries and crystal clear cherries soaked in the cool water were mouth-watering.
Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng helped Cheng Yaoyao wash the cherries. As they ate the cherries, they enviously said, "If I had known earlier, I would have worked in the soybean fields! There are so many good things to pick!"
Cheng Yaoyao said proudly: "Don't just eat cherries, wash the waxberries and I'll make a pot of waxberry juice for you to drink."
Hearing this, Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng hurriedly speeded up.
The two male educated youths were so excited that they circled around him, smiling at Cheng Yaoyao with drooling faces.
Han Yin chased them away just like she chased Cangqiu: "Go, go, go! I brought this back from afar, don't try to take it!"
Cheng Yaoyao was never stingy in this matter, and said, "Give it to them. Give each of you a handful. If you want to eat, come and take it. If you don't want it, it will be gone."
The others had been watching overtly or covertly, and when they heard the news, they ran over with joy, each holding a handful of juicy cherries, and praising Cheng Yaoyao endlessly. Shen Yan and Cheng Nuonuo naturally would not come to take them. After the five male educated youths had divided the cherries, a person slowly came over, it was Liu Minxia.
Han Yin groaned and said to Liu Minxia, "What are you doing standing there?"
Liu Minxia's shoulders trembled, she stammered and couldn't speak, but her eyes were fixed on the crystal clear cherries in the pot. The food has been getting worse and worse these days. Everyone else has secretly started a small stove, but she doesn't. She is so hungry all day long. Looking at this pot of cherries, she is so hungry that she can't move.
Han Yin was most annoyed by Liu Minxia's stubbornness, and sneered, "Tsk, why are you standing here without telling me when I ask you?"
Liu Minxia was still wearing her old clothes, and she was usually so silent that people would forget her existence. But now she stood by the side, not asking for anything, and not wanting to leave, just standing there. She looked listless and pitiful, and a little annoying.
Cheng Yaoyao pulled Han Yin to stop talking. Zhang Xiaofeng stood up to smooth things over and handed a handful of cherries to Liu Minxia: "Take it. Yaoyao gives it to you."
Liu Minxia took the cherry, looked at Cheng Yaoyao woodenly, stammered "thank you", turned and left.
Watching Liu Minxia walk away, Zhang Xiaofeng criticized Han Yin in a low voice: "You should say less in the future. Why do you always make things difficult for Han Yin?"
Han Yin chewed cherries and snorted, "I just don't like her. She's always gloomy."
Cheng Yaoyao agreed with this. He still remembered the last time when Liu Minxia and Cheng Nonuo stabbed her with a knife. The original owner was very nice to Liu Minxia, and Cheng Yaoyao hated such ungrateful people the most.
Han Yin asked Cheng Yaoyao again: "Yaoyao, these bayberries are so sour, they are inedible!"
Cheng Yaoyao snorted, "Don't eat it until I'm done!"
Han Yin smiled and said, "No, I have to try it!"
She hid in the corner, wolfing down a handful of cherries. The sweet and sour juice flowed into her throat, but it still couldn't soothe the hungry Wuzangmiao. The laughter of Cheng Yaoyao and a few others came over. Cheng Yaoyao's pleasant voice was particularly recognizable, and it pierced Liu Minxia's heart like a needle.
Cheng Yaoyao has been acting very abnormally towards her recently. In the past, Cheng Yaoyao didn't want to eat mixed dough buns, and would share some with her at every meal, while he would eat the biscuits and egg cakes bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. In the past few days, Cheng Yaoyao either gave the remaining dry food to Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng, or took it away for himself.
In Liu Minxia's view, the food belonged to her, but Cheng Yaoyao had given it to someone else! Liu Minxia swallowed the cherry pit fiercely, and her greasy eyebrows covered her gloomy eyes.
Cheng Yaoyao was completely oblivious to Liu Minxia's thoughts. She watched Zhang Xiaofeng put the poppy into a clean bamboo cage to dry it, and then she said to Han Yin, "Give me a bag of brown sugar, and I'll return it to you later."
Han Yin's eyes sparkled: "Where did you get the brown sugar? I've already eaten all of mine."
"I know you have a pack hidden!" Cheng Yaoyao picked up the Yangmei and walked to the stove, saying, "Hurry up and bring it here!"
Cheng Nonuo had already rinsed the pot clean and was boiling water. Shen Yan was talking to her beside her. The two of them were always very annoying.
Cheng Yaoyao walked over without looking away and raised his chin towards Shen Yan: "Make way."
She looked arrogant and haughty. Shen Yan avoided her in anger, but he couldn't take his eyes off her face. At dusk, the light red glow covered Cheng Yaoyao's face, and her porcelain-white skin seemed to be glowing.
Cheng Yaoyao lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The water in the pot was boiling. Cheng Yaoyao scooped out the water and poured it into another pot, added a ladle of water, poured in the bayberries, and took the salt pot.
Shen Yan and Cheng Nonuo were watching her movements. Cheng Nonuo quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Sister Yaoyao, what are you going to do? Let me do it."
"No need." Cheng Yaoyao shook off her hand. Cheng Nonuo almost fell backwards, and Shen Yan quickly held her.
Shen Yan said: "Cheng Yaoyao, Nuonuo was kind enough to help, how could you push her?!"
"..." Cheng Yaoyao blinked and sneered: "How can you blame me for her falling so easily? Take her to see a doctor to see if she has osteoporosis."
Shen Yan angrily said: "Cheng Yaoyao, you are really unreasonable!"
Cheng Nuonuo quickly grabbed Shen Yan and turned to Cheng Yaoyao and said, "Sister Yaoyao, I don't know how to make you not angry with me. I really just want to help you so that you don't hate me so much..."
"Do you really want to help me?" Cheng Yaoyao raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Nonuo nodded seriously, and her obedient look almost made Cheng Yaoyao feel that he had really wronged her. Shen Yan looked at Cheng Nonuo with more and more heartache.
Cheng Yaoyao chuckled and said, "If you really want to help me, don't do those little tricks behind my back... Stop it, don't cry, I won't fall for it. Shen Yan, shut up too, I haven't finished what I'm saying."
Cheng Yaoyao glared at her, Shen Yan shut up, still staring at her with anger. Cheng Yaoyao didn't care, and continued: "The story of me riding Xie's tricycle back yesterday has spread all over the village. Only you, me, and her know about that, guess who will tell others?"
Apart from Xie San, only Shen Yan and Cheng Nonuo knew about Cheng Yaoyao's return from riding a bicycle yesterday. Xie San naturally wouldn't tell anyone, and Shen Yan, given his stubborn personality, wouldn't tell anyone about it either. Cheng Nonuo was the only one who would spread the gossip, and Cheng Yaoyao wasn't surprised at all.
Cheng Yaoyao is also good at sowing discord, fanning the flames, and forming cliques. The intrigues between the plastic sisters are much more advanced than Cheng Nonuo.
However, Cheng Yaoyao is more accustomed to getting straight to the point and explaining things face to face.
Cheng Nuonuo naturally kept shaking her head, her face full of shock and grievance after being wronged. Shen Yan's expression was complicated, but he still said: "Besides the three of us, there is also Xie San!"
Cheng Yaoyao's affectionate peach blossom eyes slanted coldly: "Do you think she is you? How can a man have such a long tongue?"
This was a very serious remark, and Shen Yan's face darkened immediately. But if he continued to defend himself, he would have been convicted of "a man's tongue is so long", and his face was distorted.
The three of them were in a very strange atmosphere. Han Yin ran over with a bag of brown sugar and saw Shen Yan and Cheng Nonuo turned around and hurried away. She asked curiously, "Are they here to trouble you?"
"It's better for me to cause trouble to them." Cheng Yaoyao took the paper bag from Han Yin's hand.
The brown paper package was long and sealed. Cheng Yaoyao tore a hole in it and smelled it, and a sweet smell and aroma of sucrose floated out.
By this time, the waxberries in the pot had already been boiled and bubbles were bubbling. The waxberries had shrunk a lot, and the soup had turned bright red. Cheng Yaoyao raised his elbow and poured the golden brown sugar into the pot like flowing sand. Seeing this, Han Yin cried out in distress: "Put less, put less!"
Cheng Yaoyao said, "Since you are so stingy, I will return you a bag of candy."
Han Yin gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I'll have my share anyway. These candies are mine, and you can give me the rest."
Cheng Yaoyao admired this aspect of Han Yin. Although she was smart, she would not eat for free. Cheng Yaoyao smiled and put away the candy bag: "No, these belong to me. I'll buy you another bag at the supply and marketing cooperative later."
Han Yin said, "You know that brown sugar is hard to buy and sugar coupons are hard to get. I've eaten all the ones I brought from home. This is the only bag left."
The female educated youth were all girls in their teens and early twenties, and all of them loved sweets and snacks. Unfortunately, those snacks were too expensive and would not last long, so the most economical and convenient thing was hot sugar water.
Sugar water mixed with brown sugar is the most delicious. The female educated youth would save some money to buy two bags of brown sugar and put them in a jar. After work every day, they would come home exhausted, and drink a cup of hot and sweet sugar water before going to bed, which was very comfortable.
The original owner was rich and generous, and she would buy five or six bags of brown sugar every time. However, she was greedy, and Liu Minxia was eating for free, so she had eaten all the sugar before Cheng Yaoyao came. Han Yin, on the other hand, was very careful with her money, and she even had an unopened bag hidden. Cheng Yaoyao woke up in the middle of the night and saw her secretly eating sugar. Today, he finally found it out for her.
Cheng Yaoyao used a wooden spatula to stir the bayberry juice in the pot, and said to Han Yin earnestly: "Comrade Han Yin, if this bag of brown sugar is in your hands, you can only drink it up mercilessly. But in my hands, it can bring out infinite possibilities and value. You have to consider the overall situation and give priority to the interests of the masses."
"I agree with Yaoyao." Zhang Xiaofeng came over with a smile and said, "How long are you going to wait here? I've got the water ready. Don't you want to wash your hair?"
Cheng Yaoyao threw down the spatula, added a little water, and covered the pot: "Let's simmer it on low heat for 20 minutes. Come on, I'll wash first!"
Cheng Yaoyao's hair was long and thick, and it was difficult to wash thoroughly. In addition, there was no shampoo, so she asked Zhang Xiaofeng to help her wash it, and then he helped her wash it. It's not to mention that it's much more convenient and cleaner to have someone else wash your hair and rinse it than to do it yourself.
The three of them entered the house, and Cheng Nonuo slowly walked in from the door again, her eyes still a little red. Thinking of how Shen Yan actually doubted her just now, she felt a chill in her teeth.
Facing Cheng Nonuo's endless excuses and innocent tears, Shen Yan's face was full of contradictions and pain: "Nonuo, I saw you talking to your sister-in-law in the village this morning. Why did you spread such gossip?"
Cheng Nuonuo was silent for a long while, tears rolled down her cheeks: "Shen Yan, don't look at me like that. I just... I lost my mind. Sister Yaoyao always bullies me and hates me, I don't care. But you've been looking at Sister Yaoyao lately and smiling at her, I can't stand it... I don't know why I said that, I really don't want to hurt Sister Yaoyao, really!"
After much talking and crying, Shen Yan still left, saying that he wanted to be alone.
The relationship between the two of them had finally taken a step forward. How could Cheng Nonuo allow him to doubt her? But she had something more important to verify.
Cheng Nonuo walked to the stove. On the stove was a bowl of water, which was left by Cheng Yaoyao. Cheng Nonuo looked around and saw no one around. He took out a jade pendant from his collar and put it to the mouth of the bowl.
Slowly, a drop of spiritual spring water dripped into the bowl. The second drop, the third drop... Cheng Nonuo's eyes widened. The spiritual spring water kept flowing, and it actually dripped out as many as ten drops!
Cheng Nonuo fiddled with the jade pendant, unable to hide her ecstasy. Just now, she suddenly felt that the jade pendant was slightly hot, so she left Shen Yan and hurried back to verify it. She didn't expect that so much spiritual spring water would drip out!
Ever since Cheng Nonuo discovered the secret of the jade pendant, her life has taken a turn. But the amount of spiritual spring that dripped out of the jade pendant was very small and extremely unstable. It took her more than half a year to figure out the pattern. The spiritual spring can secrete a few drops every two or three days, and the amount is very small. It took her half a year of spiritual spring to transform herself.
Now that she was responsible for cooking for the brigade every day, the spiritual spring water was extremely insufficient. Although she repeatedly diluted the spiritual spring water, the speed of secretion from the jade pendant was far behind the consumption. Not only did she use up all the half bottle of spiritual spring water she had saved, but the secretion of the spiritual spring water became less and less, and the time became more irregular.
Cheng Nonuo once secretly read a lot of banned books in the library, trying to explore various ways to trigger the jade pendant's spiritual spring. So far, letting the jade pendant absorb moonlight late at night seems to be the only effective method. Unfortunately, it takes a whole night and at most can only speed up the secretion of the spiritual spring a little.
This time, the spiritual spring had been silent for 5 days. Cheng Nonuo diluted the last few drops of the spiritual spring again and again, but it was still used up.
Today, the jade pendant was moving again, and it even secreted so much spiritual spring water! It seemed that God was still on her side. Let's see how Cheng Yaoyao would fight her this time.
Cheng Nonuo carefully hid the jade pendant while quickly thinking in her mind what had triggered the spiritual spring.
Could it be because of last night... Cheng Nuonuo's cheeks suddenly turned red, but she was ecstatic in her heart. Many folk rumors say that spirits can enhance their cultivation by absorbing men's yang energy. This jade pendant is also a supernatural object. Could this method really work?
Cheng Nonuo recalled the scenery in the wild yesterday, and her cheeks flushed again, as if intoxicated. At this time, a sweet and sour aroma came out of the pot, and Cheng Nonuo curiously lifted the lid to take a look.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind: "Cheng Nonuo, what are you doing?!"
Cheng Nonuo was startled and the water in her hand spilled into the pot.
That's the spiritual spring! Cheng Nonuo screamed and hurriedly grabbed a spoon to scoop up the water.
How could I scoop it back? The half pot of Yangmei juice had already gradually dried up. After a bowl of water was poured in, it instantly merged into the bright red soup. Cheng Nonuo felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She stared at the pot of Yangmei and was speechless.
Han Yin rushed over, snatched the spoon and said, "What are you doing? There's something cooking in the pot, what did you pour into it?"
Cheng Nonuo's lips turned pale, and he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally poured water in. I'll compensate you with a pot. This pot is mine..."
Han Yin was loud: "There's half a bag of brown sugar in it! Can you afford it? Get out of here!"
She paid for the brown sugar herself! Although Cheng Yaoyao would return it, Han Yin was still heartbroken. She pushed Cheng Nuonuo away and stirred the poplar soup in the pot with a spoon.
Cheng Nuonuo was so anxious that she said to Han Yin, "I will compensate you for the candy. Can I compensate you with one pack? There is water in the pot. It is inedible."
At this time, Cheng Yaoyao and Zhang Xiaofeng also came out. Cheng Yaoyao's black hair was still a little wet, scattered on his shoulders, and the black hair set off his fair face, shining brightly.
Seeing the two of them entangled, Zhang Xiaofeng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Yin yelled, "She poured water into the waxberry soup!"
Cheng Yaoyao heard this and felt a little nervous. Did Cheng Nonuo spit in there? He hurried over to check: "What kind of water did you pour?"
Cheng Nonuo suddenly had an idea: "Yes...it was dirty. I was careless!"
Han Yin became even more annoyed and pointed at the bowl of water: "Here, this bowl!"
Cheng Nonuo quickly pulled Cheng Yaoyao and said, "Sister Yaoyao, I will compensate you for the Yangmei and candy!"
Cheng Yaoyao picked up the big bowl and felt relieved after taking a look at it. He said, "I put the water in this bowl. It's okay."
As he spoke, he used a spoon to stir the waxberries in the pot. The waxberries had shrunk completely, and the red waxberry juice gave off an alluring aroma. It didn't matter if there was more water or less.
Zhang Xiaofeng also tried to smooth things over, pulling Han Yin aside and saying, "Alright, alright, Yaoyao said it's okay."
Cheng Yaoyao took out the bayberries from his lunch box, and filled an enamel basin with soup. He smiled and said, "It's done. You can drink it when it's cool. Let's go back to the house."
The three of them took Yang Mei and Tang and left, leaving Cheng Nonuo standing there alone. Cheng Nonuo bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes almost staring two holes into Cheng Yaoyao's slender back.
As soon as Shen Yan entered the room, he took in her look and suddenly shuddered. This Nuonuo was so different from the one he knew. Was this still his Nuonuo?
The waxberry juice and waxberries placed on the table exude a sweet, sour and sweet aroma. The fragrance brings with it a refreshing coolness that makes people feel refreshed just by smelling it.
Han Yin was still muttering, "Does Cheng Nuonuo want to do something bad?"
Cheng Yaoyao picked up a waxberry, which had shrunk a lot after being cooked, turning dark red, and its flesh had shrunk together. He put it in his mouth and took a sip, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Is it really that delicious? We were all stunned." Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng came over eagerly, wanting to eat a dried waxberry too.
Cheng Yaoyao suddenly came back to his senses and quickly opened his arms to hold both the Yangmei and the Yangmei soup in his arms: "Don't touch them, don't touch them."
Facing the complaining Han Yin, Cheng Yaoyao promised: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will make you something even more delicious."
After saying this, regardless of Han Yin's constant complaints, Cheng Yaoyao carefully closed the lunch box, poured the cooled bayberry soup into the kettle, and soaked it in cold water to keep it fresh.
