Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

After ten minutes, the old man still hadn't returned, and several people were wondering whether they should go over to look for him. Then, at this moment, a tricycle carrying the old man appeared in their sight.

The driver of the tricycle was a young man who helped the old man get off the tricycle and took down several bags from the back of the tricycle.

While the young man was busy, the old man explained, "I just went home to get some things. I asked my grandson to help deliver it."

The old man picked up one of the red bags and opened it. Inside was half a bag of cash in various denominations, ranging from one dollar to one hundred dollars.

"The general hasn't been back for a few years. These fruit trees are growing so well. It would be a pity to let them rot in the fields. They would also attract flies and birds. I took the initiative to pick them and sell them for money."

"This is the total. I didn't count them. You can take them back." The old man handed over the bag in his hand.

Xu Weiwei wanted to let the old man keep the orchard for himself. Their family didn't care about the money. If the old man didn't care, they would never sell it. Besides, the old man helped them take care of the orchard, so he should be compensated.

Unexpectedly, Sifos accepted it without any hesitation.

"Thank you, old man. I appreciate your kindness. I will tell my father when I get home. What is your name?"

The old man smiled happily, revealing a mouthful of loose teeth: "My last name is Lin, and they all call me Old Lin. Your presence here does that mean the general and his wife are back too?"

"Yes."

The old man looked even happier, pointing to several bags on the ground and saying, "These are the dried fish and cuttlefish that we dried at home, this is a piece of bacon, and this one contains some fresh vegetables, all picked from our own vegetable garden, and the strawberries are also picked from our own greenhouse..."

"Take it back and cook it."

The old man was even afraid that they didn’t know how to cook it, so he explained the cooking method to them.

Mrs. Seaforth said politely, "I'm so sorry, we can't accept it..."

"Tsk! What's the big deal?! There are plenty at home, take it back, take it back! For the children! Look at you..."

"Well... well, we'll just shamelessly accept it." Mrs. Seaforth said to the children, "Hurry up and thank Grandpa Lin."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lin~"

"Hey, hehe, that's great, these kids are..." Old Man Lin raised his hand and wanted to touch Xu Weiwei and the others, but he was afraid that he would be dirty and his hands would be rough, so he patted his pants instead.

"Then you guys keep picking them. If you can't reach them, I have tools here."

"We have almost finished picking, it's time to go back. We just arrived today and don't have anything to prepare. I'd like to invite you to our house for dinner some other day." Sifos said politely.

After saying that, they said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, got in the car and went home.

The kitchen is already filled with the rich aroma of chicken, so delicious that it makes you drool.

The old couple came out of the kitchen when they heard the car and were surprised to see the big and small bags they had picked. "You picked so many?"

"Not all fruits." Sifus placed some ingredients in front of his father. "Do you know Old Man Lin?"

"Old man Lin?"

"Well, we rented the piece of land near the top of the mountain, next to our garden. It's thin, neither high nor low."

"Oh, him!" The old man recalled, "I remember that he was the first person to rent land from me. When we were in the mountains, we often drank together. He always thought of me when he had something good. I ate a lot of his bacon back then."

As he said this, the old man laughed himself.

"So what do you think this is?" Sifos opened the bag.

"Wow! You met him?!" the old man guessed it immediately.

"Cooked meat, dried cuttlefish, corn... and mullet roe! These are great things! Perfect with wine, hahahaha! I'll have to bring the things to his house and visit him someday."

Sifos also told the old man about the money, and the old man sighed and agreed with his approach. Finally, he picked up a few things from his bag and said, "I'll give you a few more dishes for lunch today!"

The adults went to the kitchen to help with cooking, and Xu Weiwei and her three brothers washed the fruits.

The cool groundwater, the splashing water, the red cherries and strawberries, and the chirping of cicadas and birds in the mountains...it’s full of summer vibes.

Xu Weiwei simply loves the environment here.

We ate lunch together on the tatami. Chicken stewed with mushrooms, bacon fried with garlic sprouts, steamed fish, stir-fried bamboo shoots, cold bracken, stir-fried mushrooms... the table was full. There were two dishes that couldn't even fit on the table, so they were placed on the tatami.

There were so many people that it was inconvenient to squeeze in and take the food, so the old lady simply gave everyone an iron basin, put all the food into bowls, and divided it among everyone. The rest was left there, and they could add more after they finished eating.

Xu Weiwei felt that her grandmother overlapped with the cafeteria auntie at this moment. The biggest difference was that the cafeteria auntie was very quick in serving food, while her grandmother complained that the bowl was too small.

After eating and drinking, Meilin was in charge of washing the dishes while the others drank tea and chatted while waiting for the meal to be digested.

Adjutant Qiu and the old man were talking about tea, Mrs. Seaforth was sharing the photos she took today with her mother-in-law, and the children were arguing about which dish was the most delicious for lunch today...

Until the first person yawned, the yawns began to occur one after another.

"Take a nap, my friends. You are tired from the long journey. Take a good nap at noon." The old man said, stretching his muscles.

The adults all agreed and went back to their rooms to sleep. Although Xu Weiwei had slept in the morning, her adult mindset still made her like taking a nap. Only the three brothers were energetic.

He wanted to sneak out to play while everyone was asleep, but Sifos saw through his plan and ordered coldly, "Number Seven, watch them. Don't let the three of them sneak out."

"Good host!"

Three people: "..."

The escape plan failed, so they could only go back to their room and sleep, but as they lay there, they gradually fell asleep.

Lunch was late, so everyone slept until the sun set.

Xu Weiwei woke up first and found that the sun had completely disappeared, the temperature had become cool and there was a breeze.

Xu Weiwei put on her shoes and went downstairs, then found a thin coat to put on. After walking around the house and yard, she saw that no one was awake yet, so she moved the rocking chair under the eaves and stayed there to browse Xingbo.

After seeing a new term “city walk”, Xu Weiwei clicked on it to learn more about it in the spirit of seeking knowledge.

After a dozen seconds, I returned in silence. I just took a stroll, and it was called a "city walk", which was quite fashionable.

After lying down for a while, Xu Weiwei sat up with a blank expression. How about she take a walk too? It's boring to be alone.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. The environment around here is so good, it would be a pity not to go out for a walk. So I went upstairs to get my small backpack and put some fruits, snacks and a water bottle in it.

Fearing that everyone might be worried, Xu Weiwei opened the chat box and wanted to send them a message. But then she thought that everyone was sleeping, so she decided to just leave a note.

After writing, she placed it on the table in the main room, and pressed it down with a cup to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. After doing all this, Xu Weiwei put on her schoolbag and set off.

Number Seven watched her leave, his electronic eyes blinking, but finally remaining motionless.
