Old man Xu also imitated his precious granddaughter and picked up some syrup from the pot with the tip of his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He tasted it carefully and felt a sweet taste spreading in his mouth. Although it was not as sweet as the brown sugar cubes sold in the shops in the county town, it was already very surprising.

"Sweet! My granddaughter really made sugar! She used the radish that is used to feed pigs. This radish can really make sugar!"

Old Man Xu stood excitedly at the kitchen door and shouted to the others, "The sugar is ready!"

When the Xu family heard the noise, they immediately gathered in the kitchen. They had been wanting to come here for a long time and had been listening to the noise. This was mainly because this was Xu Congyi's first time making sugar, and she didn't dare to guarantee that it would be successful. She would feel a lot of pressure if the whole family watched her making sugar, so she refused to let her family help. Now that the sugar making was successful, she would teach the sugar making method to her family in the future. Maybe it would be a new way to get rich.

Old man Xu first picked up the wooden box and showed everyone the candy made by his precious granddaughter. When the Xu family members saw the light brown syrup in the wooden box, their eyes widened. Xu Cong'an couldn't help but stretch out his finger to poke it.

"Pa!" Old man Xu slapped his grandson's outstretched finger down. "You little bastard, this one isn't even formed yet, eat that one!"

Xu Cong'an touched his red fingers and stared at Old Man Xu pitifully.

Old man Xu ignored the gaze of his second grandson and walked straight to the chopstick cage beside him. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he handed a chopstick to each person. Old man Xu didn't say anything, but picked up a piece of syrup from the big pot behind him with chopsticks and handed it to his wife first.

Mother Xu took the chopsticks and put the end covered with syrup into her mouth.

"Mmm! Sweet!"

Seeing Xu's mother's praise, the rest of the people followed Xu's example and picked up some with chopsticks and put them into their mouths. They were all captivated by the sweet taste. In this way, the remaining syrup in the pot was almost eaten up, with only some parts firmly attached to the wall of the pot left.

Seeing that the syrup in the pot had been almost eaten up, Xu Congyi scooped a ladle of water into the pot and re-lit the fire to boil the syrup. After the syrup boiled, Xu Congyi took out several large bowls, each filled with syrup. The sugar was precious, and the syrup was naturally precious as well. She handed the bowls to the Xu family, and Xu Congyi also took a small bowl for herself. She took a sip. The syrup made from sugar she made herself was so sweet!

After drinking the sugar water, the remaining time is to wait for the sugar to solidify into blocks. The temperature in the kitchen is relatively high, and boiling water and cooking at the same time are not conducive to the solidification of the sugar. Xu Cong carried all the sugar into the shady warehouse. It is cool there and the sugar is estimated to be ready by the afternoon.

After working busy all morning, Xu Congyi just wanted to have a good rest. She told Xu's mother that she didn't need to be called for lunch. She wanted to lock the door and have a good sleep. Xu's mother agreed.

Xu Congyi returned to the bedroom, bolted the door, and quickly entered the space. As usual, she threw her clothes into the fully automatic washing machine and took a shower to wash off the smoky smell on her body. The main fuel of this era was wood. She stayed in the kitchen for so long when cooking sugar that her body was full of the smell of burning wood. The shower gel in the space was the same smell as the new perfume she bought, which she liked very much. She took a comfortable shower and felt that all her fatigue was washed away.

After taking a shower, drying himself, changing into his pajamas, and blow-drying his hair, Xu Congyi took out a bottle of iced juice from the refrigerator.

"Ah! So refreshing, this is the taste!"

After taking a shower and taking a sip of iced juice, Xu Congyi felt that every pore of her body was opened. She drank several sips in a row before she was willing to stop.

Xu Congyi didn't eat much for breakfast. She had digested her breakfast long ago while standing in the kitchen stirring sugar. Now her stomach was empty, but she really didn't want to cook anymore, so she opened the cabinet where fast food was stored. There were instant noodles, malatang, hot and sour noodles, potato noodles, snail noodles, etc.

I took out a bag of potato flour and took some beef rolls and meatballs from the freezer and put them in the pot to cook together. The aroma made me want to eat more.

After eating the potato noodles happily and washing the pots and pans, Xu Congyi turned on the TV and curled up on the sofa again. Xu Congyi never considered the idea of ​​not lying down immediately after a meal. He always lay down after eating.

There was no real-time news program on TV. Every channel was broadcasting TV dramas. Xu Congyi randomly selected a channel and let her play it while he stretched out on the sofa hugging a pillow.

Xu Congyi has a problem. TV dramas are not for watching but for listening. He listens to them while sweeping the floor, cooking, washing dishes, and even playing with his mobile phone. These TV dramas are purely for creating an atmosphere. Maybe it's because he lives alone. When there are sounds at home, it feels like a real home.

Xu Congyi fell asleep in a daze accompanied by the sound of a TV series. The TV series was playing a plot in which a granddaughter was acting coquettishly to her grandmother. Unconsciously, the background sound also entered Xu Congyi's dream. She dreamed of the scenes of her life with her grandmother when she was a child. She and her grandmother were squeezed together in a creaking bamboo rocking chair, and her grandmother was fanning her with a cattail leaf fan.

"Grandma, I love you so much!"

"Grandma loves you the most, too. In this world, Grandma loves our little Yiyi the most..."
