Meanwhile, Young Master Liu carried the hot roasted sweet potato skins home.
"Little sister, come and try this. I bought it from the Lin family's shop. It's called roasted... I don't remember what it's called, but I've tried it, and it's delicious." Young Master Liu greeted Liu Baozhu with a smile: "Try it, and if you like it, I'll bring you some more tomorrow."
Liu Baozhu was, after all, a young lady confined to her quarters, and could not go out freely under normal circumstances, especially after she fell ill, she went out even less.
At this time, Zhu was pregnant, already seven or eight months along.
Liu Baozhu was a filial child. Fearing that his mother would be troubled, he often stayed by Zhu's side.
Today, I'm also learning how to embroider with Ms. Zhu.
"What is that?" Upon hearing her brother's words, Liu Baozhu and Madam Liu looked up at the same time and asked curiously, "Brother, what is this Lin Family Shop? I've never heard of it before."
"It's that little fairy who saved our whole family last time, Lin Wanyue. Didn't they move to the county town? I was busy tidying up their house the other day, unlike what our father said, that she's never home. I was busy, wasn't I?" Young Master Liu seized the opportunity to clear his name.
"Look, these are the snacks they sell."
He opened the lotus leaf package and took out the contents: a dark, grimy object skewered on two sticks.
Both Liu Baozhu and Madam Liu's eyes were drawn to the dark object.
Liu Baozhu: "Eh~"
At first glance, it looks ugly!
However, although this thing looked unremarkable, its aroma was so strong that it made Liu Baozhu and Madam Liu twitch their noses.
"This smells quite nice," Madam Liu said, pursing her lips.
"Really? That little fairy is quite capable. This shop is run by her father and grandmother. I heard that this shop has only been open for two days, and the line is already incredibly long, with people lining up like a sea of people! How could it not be delicious?"
Hearing her brother's description, Liu Baozhu couldn't help but chuckle, "Brother, if you don't like studying, don't use these words. They're even funnier than your pedantic talk."
"Little sister, try this! Don't let its ugly appearance fool you, it tastes really good. If your older brother hadn't been so full today, I might not have been able to save this piece for you until now." Young Master Liu pushed the food towards Liu Baozhu.
Madam Liu stretched out her hand, "I also think it tastes good. Let me try a bite for Baozhu first!"
Pregnant women are particularly anxious about what they eat, and they want to put something in their mouths all the time.
Mrs. Liu had already passed the first few months, but now, looking at this dark and fragrant thing, she felt as if the little one in her belly was kicking her from hunger.
Having no other choice, Mrs. Liu had to swallow her pride and snatch food from her daughter.
"Baozhu, this is really delicious. Here, you should try some." Madam Liu took a bite and thought it tasted quite good.
Liu Baozhu stared at the small piece of roasted sweet potato skin that was left, and remained silent for a while.
"Mother, if you like it, then finish it. But could you let my brother and me go to the Lin Family Restaurant together? I haven't been out at all this year." Liu Baozhu looked at Madam Liu expectantly.
Looking into her daughter's eyes, Madam Liu's heart softened, and she nodded in agreement.
“That little deity saved our family’s life, and he also saved yours. He is your savior. It is only right that you personally come to thank him,” said Madam Liu.
Liu Baozhu was just young and lacked playmates. As soon as she heard that she could play with Lin Wanyue, she was overjoyed and didn't care about anything else.
Seeing his younger sister so happy, Young Master Liu felt a pang of heartache and immediately promised, "Then I'll take you to the Lin Family Restaurant in a few days. I saw Little Fairy when I went there today; she was eating and reading at the same time."
Madam Liu quickly finished the roasted sweet potato noodles, quelling her hunger, and the baby in her belly stopped kicking.
"Isn't that little fairy only three or four years old? How can he recognize words?" Madam Liu asked in amazement.
Young Master Liu wasn't quite sure about this either. He was too busy being angry to notice what book Lin Wanyue was reading.
When questioned by his mother, he could only vaguely reply, "That's a little deity, he must know everything about astronomy and geography. It's not surprising that he knows a few words."
Madam Liu nodded: "That's right, only a family like this could raise a scholar who gets first place in the imperial examination. If it were you, let alone getting first place, even if you came in last, your father would be jumping for joy."
Young Master Liu and Miss Liu Baozhu thought about the way their serious and old-fashioned father would jump up and down, and they both felt that it was better not to pass the exam.
...
Meanwhile, at the Lin family.
Her three older brothers were all working hard so they could help out at the store tomorrow, and they didn't have time to play with her anymore.
Lin Wanyue could only hold the speechless Lin Diaodiao and squat under the eaves of her house, gesturing and drawing on the ground with a small twig.
Seeing her forlorn appearance, the little pink butterfly floated over and squatted down with her at the base of the wall.
"Why is Wanbao unhappy? Did something happen?" Little Pink Butterfly felt that the days had been peaceful and comfortable lately.
There are so many more fun things to do in the city than in the countryside; Little Pink Butterfly has already circled the entire county several times.
Master Cui spends his days engrossed in his study, teaching, reading, reading, teaching...
Laifu was the laziest of the ghosts, spending his days lazily lying on the roof sunbathing.
