Acai's Sky

Ah Cai returned to her bamboo garden and looked at the spring scenery. She was filled with joy and felt relaxed. The depression brought by the mission disappeared.

"Ride on my little camel..."

"Hello, Xiaoxian, it's only 7:30. Why are you up so early?" Ah Cai looked at Xiaoxian's phone with surprise. She had heard from Lu Yingqi that Xiaoxian really hated getting up early!

"Woo, woo, Acai, the instructor cruelly called us to an emergency assembly and we had to stand at attention so early in the morning." Xiaoxian deliberately pretended to look pitiful and spoke in a crying voice.

"Okay, stop pretending. Why do I hear a hint of gloating in your crying?" Ah Cai rolled her eyes in annoyance and exposed her.

"Hey, hey, seeing many people from other classes being punished, I feel inexplicably happy!" Xiaoxian couldn't hide his excitement and answered with a happy smile.

"Oh~ I see. So, someone missed the emergency assembly and was punished to run laps due to being late, right? How many laps?" Ah Cai's eyes rolled and he immediately guessed what had happened.

"That's right, it's just as you thought, but there's no reward for you~ They were punished to run 10 laps and are now desperately moving forward. The instructor behind them is shouting at the top of his lungs: 'Run, run!'" Xiaoxian said with a sly laugh.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this instructor is really good-tempered! I used to think that all instructors were those tough guys who chased students with vicious dogs! Anyone who ran slower would be bitten by the ferocious dog!" Ah Cai also began to talk nonsense.

"I'm not lying to you. Those students were too tired to run and were all walking slowly. The instructor was so angry that he kept yelling at them from behind, urging them to run faster." Xiaoxian shouted at the top of her voice.

"Hmph, have you had breakfast this morning? I'll ask the driver to bring you some refreshing mung bean soup later. Just remember to prepare a large-capacity water cup." A Cai carefully instructed and arranged.

"My dear sister, I called you to remind you not to forget to send me the summer-heat-relieving soup. After drinking the mung bean shaved ice you sent me yesterday, I felt full of energy the whole day and didn't feel weak at all. It's great!" Xiaoxian responded impatiently.

"I know, I know. Really, even if I don't have military training, I still have to do logistics for you, and I'm under remote control!" A Cai kept complaining to Xiaoxian while arranging the books on the table.

"I know you're the best. We're almost sunburned and rely on your summer-heat-relief soup to survive! It's too hot today, why doesn't it rain to cool us down?" Xiaoxian stood aside, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, and kept complaining.

Her camouflage uniform was already drenched with sweat, but that didn't stop her from complaining about the unbearable heat of military training. It was so hot so early in the morning. How annoying!

"You guys won't train when it rains? That's impossible! I heard we have to train indoors even when it rains!" Ah Cai blinked and asked suspiciously. Clearly, she didn't know much about the military training arrangements.

"Who knows? Anyway, I heard that those who go to the base are more strict. They have already started practicing military boxing today. We are just marching here today." Xiaoxian sighed and looked into the distance, as if recalling some bad memories.

Then, she continued on the phone to Ah Cai, "But it's a good thing we have your summer heat-relief soup, otherwise I'm really worried that our classmates would faint on the playground too."

After hearing Xiaoxian's words, Ah Cai felt a little better. After all, even though she didn't participate in the military training, being able to provide some help to her classmates was something she should be proud of.

After ending the call, Acai gently hung up the phone and walked towards the kitchen in the bamboo house.

She skillfully took out some fresh mung beans and rock sugar from her backpack, preparing to make a pot of cool and refreshing mung bean soup.

After entering the kitchen, Ah Cai cast her eyes on her backpack. After searching carefully, she found that there was still a lot of mung bean shaved ice left in her backpack!

These are the drinks she specially left behind to bring to Xiaoxian and the others, and they are very effective in preventing heatstroke.

Ah Cai smiled and said to herself, "When Xiaoxian and the others see the mung bean smoothie later, they will definitely be surprised."

Then, she turned her gaze to the large digital clock hanging on the living room wall. The time showed that it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, but the temperature in the village was already as high as eighteen degrees!

Ah Cai couldn't help but sigh at the pleasant climate here. After all, the village is close to the sea and surrounded by lush green trees, so even in the hot summer, you can still feel a little cool.

She thought that if she were in school at this time, the temperature would probably have soared to 24 or 25 degrees.

Thinking of this, Ah Cai quickly took out the exquisite [delicious soup pot], poured the washed mung beans into it, and added an appropriate amount of spiritual water.

Afterwards, Acai stood in front of the stove while memorizing words, her eyes fixed on the pot where mung beans were stewing, as if she was afraid of missing any details.

She just waited quietly, hoping that the mung beans would be stewed in the pot until they were soft enough.

As time passed, a faint fragrance began to emanate from the pot. This fragrance became stronger and stronger, gradually filling the entire room.

Ah Cai took a deep breath, feeling the fresh aroma, and her mood became particularly happy. She knew that if she waited a little longer, the pot of delicious mung bean soup would be ready!

Finally, the mung bean soup was ready! Ah Cai rubbed her hands excitedly, then quickly called Tong Jiashi and the others, asking them to come over and help.

After a while, Tong Jiashi and several others came to the kitchen.

A Cai took out the large-capacity thermos bucket used in the kitchen and found several white steel buckets of the same size.

She gently opened the lid of the pot, scooped out the cooked mung bean soup, and poured it into the white steel buckets.

After all the mung bean soup was packed, Acai carefully checked whether the lid of each bucket was tightly closed, and then placed them neatly in a small cold storage on the side.

An hour later, Acai opened the door of the small cold storage again and poured the cooled mung bean soup back into the six large-capacity thermos barrels used in the kitchen.

These thermoses can maintain temperature for a long time, so everyone can drink cool mung bean soup at any time.

A Cai called Tong Shiqi and the others to go to the orchard to pick some fruits, and asked Tong Jiashi to deliver them all to Xiaoxian and the others, plus three thermos buckets.

The remaining thermoses were sent to the B&B and left for the villagers to drink.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is emitting dazzling sunlight, it is quite hot. I feel sorry for Xiaoxian for a second...
