Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

With a gentle wave of his hand, Sha Zhu sent two plump, round red apples from the tree steadily falling into his palm.

Then, he flashed away from the space and went to the kitchen, where he carefully washed the apples with clean water and placed them on a plate.

Next, he took out a series of carefully braised dishes from his space: beef with a rich soy sauce flavor, crispy pig ears, uniquely flavored duck necks, and flavorful braised eggs.

Of course, there were also several steaming hot steamed buns made from two kinds of dough, neatly arranged on a plate.

Then, Shazhu brought these delicacies to the table in his room.

At this moment, Yu Shui was sitting alone in her room, feeling wronged.

Her brother was drinking, eating and chatting with Teacher Yan and Xu Damao at his home, completely ignoring her hunger.

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they might burst at any moment.

Rainwater's father left her; she heard from others that he did so to raise someone else's child.

This made her feel abandoned and filled her with pain.

Although her two teachers' wives cared for her very much, she knew that she could no longer stay at their house, nor could she play with Sister Lele as often as before.

When she was at her master's house, her brother treated her very well, but after she came back, she didn't care about herself and just ate and drank with others.

Tears finally streamed down her face, and the rain felt incredibly sad and lost.

Just then, Sha Zhu gently pushed open the door to Yu Shui's room.

Seeing the tears welling up in Yushui's eyes, his heart tightened, and he quickly walked to Yushui's side, asking with concern, "Yushui, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's voice, Yu Shui could no longer suppress her grievances and burst into tears.

Sha Zhu held Yu Shui tightly in his arms with heartache and gently comforted her.

Yu Shui sobbed in Sha Zhu's arms, "Brother, I miss Dad."

Sha Zhu felt a wave of helplessness; he couldn't bring He Daqing, who had already left, back to Yu Shui's side.

After silently cursing a few times in his heart, he quickly changed the subject: "Rain, don't cry."

After seeing Teacher Yan and Xu Damao off, your brother went to the kitchen to cook something delicious for you.

I made lots of delicious food. If you don't believe me, come to my room with your brother and see for yourself.

Upon hearing the words "delicious," Yu Shui indeed temporarily forgot about He Daqing's matter.

With her big, teary eyes, she asked curiously, "Brother, did you make braised pork for me? Why don't I smell any aroma in the house? Didn't we finish all the meat at home?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu chuckled to himself; this little foodie had indeed been drawn to the delicious food.

He took Yushui's hand and walked towards his room, saying as they walked, "Brother brought back a lot of delicious food, but he hid it all so no one would know."

From now on, these delicious foods will be shared between my brother and me; we won't tell anyone.

Rain wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes as Sha Zhu led her by the hand into his room.

Sha Zhu pointed to the food on the table and smiled at Yu Shui, "See, I didn't lie to you."

Following the direction of Sha Zhu's finger, Yu Shui saw that the table was covered with all sorts of food:

Steaming hot steamed buns made with two kinds of dough, two bright red apples, and several plates of her favorite braised meats and eggs.

Her tears were instantly wiped away by the delicious food, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She excitedly ran to the table and picked up a big apple.

The apple was twice the size of her palm, prompting her to ask curiously, "Brother, where did you get all these apples and meat? I had no idea!"

Seeing the puzzled look on Yu Shui's face, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "These are all things that I secretly hid and brought back. I guarantee you won't be able to finish them all."

But you have to keep this a secret, okay? If others find out, they'll steal everything in our house.

Rainwater pressed on impatiently, "But brother, where did you hide them? I can't find them anywhere. I searched the whole house at noon, but I didn't find them."

Seeing that Yu Shui was determined to get the answer, Sha Zhu could only smile helplessly and say, "Well, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone, okay?"

Rainwater nodded quickly and said earnestly, "Brother, please tell me quickly, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Seeing Yu Shui's unwavering resolve, Sha Zhu smiled.

With a thought, he put the apples from his spatial tree into a winnowing basket and then moved them to the basement of his house.

Then, some snacks, candies, and grains that wouldn't spoil quickly were moved from the space, intending to use them to fool the rainwater.

After doing all this, he stood up and said to Yushui with a solemn expression, "I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

Rainwater grabbed Shazhu's hand urgently and urged, "Brother, tell me where you hid it? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Sha Zhu looked at Yu Shui's anxious expression, a slight smile playing on his lips, and pulled her to a wardrobe in a corner of the room.

He opened the wardrobe door, and Yu Shui looked inside and saw that it was empty except for a few clothes. She couldn't help but say in confusion, "Brother, there's nothing in your wardrobe. I checked it at noon."

Sha Zhu ignored Yu Shui's questions and instead gently pressed the top of the wardrobe.

With a soft "click," a hole appeared at the bottom of the wardrobe.

He crouched down and gently pushed the movable wooden board with his hand. The board slowly moved into the wardrobe, revealing a square opening large enough for an adult to go down into.

Rainwater stared at the dark hole, covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and showed a shocked expression.

Sha Zhu groped around below the cave entrance for a bit, found a button, and pressed it gently. Instantly, the cave entrance lit up with lights.

He turned to the surprised rain and said, "Come on, didn't you want to know where your brother hid the thing? It's right here."

The wardrobe is cleverly designed with a downward step at the bottom; pushing aside the wooden panel reveals a rectangular opening.

The space is so spacious that adults can easily enter by simply bending their heads slightly, while children the size of a raindrop can walk in directly without bending their heads at all.

Sha Zhu nimbly grabbed the wardrobe opening and jumped down to the steps below. He turned around and carefully carried the rainwater onto the steps as well. Then, he lowered his head and walked steadily down to the basement step by step.

The basement is brightly lit and well-lit, so there's no need to worry about not being able to see the steps in the rain.

As Sha Zhu walked, he gently instructed Yu Shui, "Slow down, don't rush, follow your brother."

Rainwater was still looking surprised, as if he was still immersed in the shock he had just experienced.

She knew in her heart that there was a cellar in the yard. She had secretly gone down to take a look when her brother wasn't looking at noon. Inside, there were only some stored vegetables and a few jars of pickled vegetables.

However, she never expected that there was a secret room hidden under the wardrobe in her brother's room.

Filled with curiosity, Yu Shui followed closely behind Sha Zhu, descending the steps one by one.

Upon arriving in the basement, Sha Zhu leisurely sat down on the recliner that had been transferred from his spatial dimension, and said to the curious Yu Shui,

"Look, your brother has hidden all the good stuff down here. Now your curiosity is satisfied, isn't it? Hurry up and take a look. We're going upstairs to eat, aren't you hungry?"

Once the rainwater reached the basement, it instantly transformed into a curious child, its eyes widening as it looked around. Soon, a bright smile spread across its face.

"Brother, so many red apples!" She completely ignored Sha Zhu's urging and grabbed an apple in each hand, refusing to let go.

However, when she saw that all the other items were covered up, she ran to Sha Zhu's side and placed the red apple she was tightly clutching on him.

He said, "Brother, wait a minute, could you take these two apples upstairs for me?"

After saying that, she turned back to continue searching for other delicious food.

Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of raindrops shouting could be heard: "Brother, so many Mickey Mouse candies!"

Rain looked at the candy in the jar and thought to himself: The apples are too big for me to carry, but I can always carry the candy, right?

Without hesitation, she opened the jar and stuffed handfuls of Mickey Mouse candies into her pocket.

Sha Zhu sat on the deck chair, watching the raindrops fall, feeling utterly helpless and troubled.

He quickly said to Rain, "Rain, don't you already have plenty of candy in your house? You can't possibly eat all of this."

Be careful not to eat too much candy and ruin your teeth; that would look awful. Can you come down to get it after you finish eating?

But Rainwater wouldn't listen to Shazhu's advice at all. It didn't stop until it had filled its pockets to the brim before it finally closed the jar of Mickey Mouse candy again, completely satisfied.
