Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich
Chapter 206 Watermelon
"Brother, why haven't you come home yet?" Tiantian held her pink cheeks with both hands, staring straight out the door with her big watery eyes, looking like a cute little rabbit.
At this moment, Old Lady Yun, who was sitting beside them, reached out her hand with a loving face, gently rubbed Tiantian's little head, and said softly, "My dear child, your elder brother has sent a message back earlier, saying that he will not be home before the Autumn Examination. He will not come back until the Autumn Examination is over."
Upon hearing the news, Tiantian's face instantly fell. She pouted, looked at Old Lady Yun with disappointment, and muttered, "Okay..."
As the days passed, the weather became hotter and hotter, as if the whole world was put into a huge steamer.
Even Tiantian, who was always lively and active and loved to run around, lost the interest to go out and play, let alone go find Murong Yunche.
She hid in the room filled with ice cubes all day, lying lazily on the mat, hardly wanting to move at all.
Just then, a burst of cheerful footsteps was heard. It turned out that Yun Xiaoxiao walked in happily.
He was holding a green ball carefully in his hand. He walked quickly towards Tiantian and excitedly shouted, "Tiantian, look what goodies I brought you!"
Tiantian, who was originally a little listless, immediately became energetic when she heard her brother's voice.
When she saw what Yun Xiaoxiao was holding, her eyes instantly widened like bells, her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's a watermelon! Brother Xiaoxiao, where did you find it?"
Yun Xiaoxiao scratched her head a bit embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said softly, "These are the seeds I planted before. I didn't expect them to all grow together now! Tiantian, do you want to go and see them with me?"
When Tiantian heard this, she instantly remembered that Xiaoxiao had said not long ago that she had found some seeds in the space, but she had never imagined that these seeds would actually grow into big, round, green watermelons.
"Okay, let's go!" Tiantian was very excited. She couldn't wait to pull Yun Xiaoxiao's hand and ran out of the courtyard.
After a while, the two came to the wall of the courtyard.
Sure enough, there was a large patch of lush watermelon vines growing there, and huge watermelons were hidden among the green leaves, appearing and disappearing.
Tiantian opened her eyes wide, walked closer with joy, and carefully touched each watermelon.
The smooth skin, clear lines and heavy weight of the melon made her love it so much that she couldn't let it go.
She couldn't help but smile brightly, and her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing throughout the courtyard.
Yun Xiaoxiao stood aside and saw Tiantian so happy that she couldn't help but laugh too.
Then, he came forward curiously, pointed at one of the watermelons, and asked quickly, "Tiantian, is this watermelon edible?"
Tiantian nodded vigorously and replied with a smile on her face: "Of course you can eat it! And this watermelon is so sweet and delicious! Let's pick two of the biggest and ripest ones and take them home, put them in ice cubes to chill them, and then they will be so satisfying to eat! The cool, sweet and juicy ice watermelon, just thinking about it makes me salivate!" As she spoke, her saliva seemed to be flowing out.
When Yun Xiaoxiao heard that the watermelon was edible, she couldn't help but feel happy.
You know, everyone in the Yun family is a foodie. This really proves the old saying: If you are not from the same family, you won’t enter the same door!
Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxiao said to Tiantian, "Sister Tiantian, this watermelon is so heavy, let me carry it."
However, before she finished her words, Tiantian had already stretched out her little hands and steadily picked up the enormous watermelon. Surprisingly, there was no sign of effort on Tiantian's little face.
When Yun Xiaoxiao saw this, she suddenly felt her face getting hot, as if what she had just said had become a joke and was ruthlessly exposed on the spot.
For a moment, she could only give two awkward dry laughs at Tiantian.
As for Tiantian, she hugged the big watermelon tightly in her arms and walked towards the house with brisk steps.
When old lady Yun, who was standing by, saw Tiantian holding a watermelon in her arms that was much bigger than her head, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
She hurried forward and shouted anxiously, "Oh, my darling, let go of it, grandma will help you." As she spoke, she reached out and took the heavy watermelon from Tiantian's hand.
At this time, Tiantian was heard saying to Old Lady Yun in her tender and sweet voice, "Grandma, put the watermelon in the ice for a while, then we can enjoy the cool and delicious watermelon later."
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Old Lady Yun nodded lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, my dear granddaughter, you are right. Grandma will put it in right away."
Then, she turned to look at Yun Xiaoxiao who was standing beside her and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, give grandma the watermelon in your hand as well. I'll put it in the ice together."
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly and obediently handed the watermelons in her hand to Old Lady Yun. Old Lady Yun carefully took the two watermelons and gently placed them in a basin filled with ice cubes.
"Tiantian, how long does it take for this watermelon to be frozen before it can be eaten?" Old Lady Yun looked at Tiantian lovingly and asked softly.
Tiantian tilted her head and thought seriously. She knew that the cooling effect of the ice cubes could not compare to that of a modern refrigerator. Even if it was left there for a whole afternoon, it probably would not become particularly cold.
After thinking for a moment, Tiantian replied, "Grandma, let's put the watermelon in there first and enjoy it after dinner."
"Okay!" Old Lady Yun smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then, she curiously asked, "Tiantian, how did you know this weird-looking thing is called a watermelon and is edible?"
Tiantian was stunned by the question, then her eyes rolled and she thought of a solution.
She explained calmly, "My uncle gave me a very interesting book a while ago. It has a detailed introduction to various fruits, including watermelon. That's how I learned all this."
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Old Lady Yun nodded in satisfaction and said with emotion, "It turns out that one must study hard to become knowledgeable. Xiaoxiao, you should also study more in the future like your sister. Don't just run to the martial arts hall all day and watch your brother and younger brother practice martial arts."
As she spoke, Old Lady Yun reached out and gently patted Yun Xiaoxiao's shoulder, her eyes full of expectations and warnings.
Yun Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted. He originally thought that he went to the martial arts hall to visit his second brother and younger brother every day without anyone noticing.
However, what he never expected was that his grandmother actually knew it all a long time ago but just never pointed it out.
When the truth was revealed, Yun Xiaoxiao blushed instantly. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and said softly, "Grandma, I know I was wrong."
Old Lady Yun looked lovingly at her dejected grandson, her heart filled with pity. She couldn't help but explain, "Xiaoxiao, it's not that Grandma forbids you from going to the martial arts hall. It's just that it's incredibly hot out there, and I'm worried you'll get sunburned. So, just be patient for a while. When the weather cools down a bit, if you want to go to the martial arts hall to visit your brothers, Grandma won't stop you!"
After hearing her grandmother's caring words, Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that her grandmother was not trying to stop her from getting close to her brothers, but was concerned about her health.
Thinking of this, his originally lost heart was suddenly filled with joy again, and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on his face. He responded happily: "Well, thank you grandma! I understand!"
