Chapter 204 Eating Alone Behind My Back
As noon approached, the sun grew increasingly intense, illuminating the courtyard brightly.
Just then, my uncle and aunt arrived with my cousin Xiaoshan. My uncle was carrying two fried chickens that he had just bought on the way. The packaging was still steaming and emitting an enticing aroma.
As soon as Xiaoshan stepped into the courtyard, his eyes lit up instantly. He immediately spotted Yuan Bao holding Xiao 9.
The little one's face flushed with excitement, and he didn't even care about the fragrant fried chicken. Like a runaway pony, he ran straight towards Yuan Bao, waving his little hands and shouting, "Cousin, cousin, I want to hug Xiao 9!"
Not long after, my aunt arrived with my cousin Pingping and my other aunt.
Sure enough, both of these little guys came for Little 9.
Upon seeing Little 9, the two immediately surrounded it, chattering away about their own understanding of the game rules, their excitement seemingly enough to turn the whole yard upside down.
Looking at the fried chicken that his uncle and aunt had bought, Yuan Bao instantly pictured the classic combination of fried chicken, fries, and cola in his mind.
She thought to herself that this cola was the "soulmate" of eating fried chicken, and they were inseparable.
So Yuan Bao greeted everyone and hurriedly went out to buy Coke on the street.
Once on the street, Yuan Bao looked for several shops and found that only domestically produced glass bottles of Very Cola were available.
She picked up a bottle, examined it carefully, and thought: This cola tastes pretty good too. I've had it before during Chinese New Year.
However, she then thought that she had stockpiled a lot of Coca-Cola in her space, which was the real "happy fat boy water".
After I buy Very Cola, I'll sneak a large bottle of Coke out of my virtual space and tell everyone that it's the only one I managed to find in the store.
Yuan Bao bought two bottles of Very Cola and smuggled a large bottle of Cola from his spatial storage, carrying it heavily in his hand.
On the way back, the sun shone on me, making me feel warm and cozy.
As she walked, she saw a flower farmer by the roadside, with all sorts of colorful flower varieties displayed in front of him, which were quite beautiful.
Yuan Bao stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping towards his own courtyard. He thought to himself that the courtyard was now filled only with osmanthus blossoms, which, while intoxicatingly fragrant, were rather monotonous in color.
If we could add some other flowers, the courtyard would surely be a riot of color when they bloom.
Thinking this, she squatted down and carefully selected the seeds. Before long, she bought a number of different varieties of seeds from the flower grower, eagerly anticipating that they would bring new life to the courtyard.
Back home, my aunt and uncle had already finished their work in the kitchen, setting out a variety of delicious and visually appealing dishes on the table in an orderly fashion.
The aroma of the food filled the entire courtyard, making everyone's mouths water.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Bao quickly put down the cola and flower seeds in his hand and rushed into the kitchen.
She deftly took potatoes from the cupboard, peeled them, and cut them into strips, all in one smooth motion.
Next, put the fries into the hot oil. Soon, the oil started sizzling, and the golden fries rolled around in the oil, emitting an enticing aroma.
Yuan Bao quickly took out some tomato sauce from the space kitchen.
"Haha, now I finally have fried chicken, fries, and cola!"
Looking at the table laden with delicious food, Yuan Bao beamed with satisfaction and called out loudly to his family, "Dinner's ready! Everyone, come and eat!"
The sounds echoed in the courtyard, filled with happiness and joy.
Before long, the little ones must have gotten hungry, because their keen little noses caught the tempting aroma of fried chicken and fries.
They were originally chattering around the little 9, but their attention was instantly drawn to the food.
Xiaoshan and Pingping's eyes widened in surprise and excitement as they hopped and skipped to the dining table like two happy little rabbits.
Yuan Bao watched as the two little ones drooled with envy and reached out to grab the food, but he quickly stopped them.
With a gentle yet authoritative smile on her face, she said, "Pingping, you are the older sister. Take Xiaoshan to wash his hands first. Don't rush to eat. Your little hands can't be dirty. Go wash your hands quickly, and then we can enjoy these delicious foods properly."
Seeing that her younger cousins didn't move, she could only hold Xiaoshan's hand with one hand and Pingping's hand with the other, half-pushing and half-reluctantly leading them towards the sink.
Xiaoshan was reluctantly dragged along, muttering, "Cousin, I'm starving! Can you wash your hands faster?"
Pingping chimed in, "That's right, I can smell the fried chicken!"
Yuan Bao smiled and comforted him, "It'll be quick. It'll taste even better after you wash your hands."
When they got to the sink, Yuan Bao helped Xiao Shan and Ping Ping roll up their sleeves, turned on the tap, and watched as they wet their hands, squeezed on hand soap, and rubbed their little hands together, instantly creating white foam.
Yuan Bao patiently instructed: "You must rub your palms, the backs of your hands, and between your fingers."
The two little ones played in the water and washed their hands with laughter. In no time, their little hands were clean.
Xiaoshan couldn't wait and grabbed a piece of fried chicken. The crispy skin trembled slightly in his hand. With a "crunch," he took a bite, and the tender juices of the chicken mixed with the crispy skin burst in his mouth. He chewed and mumbled, "Wow, it's so delicious!"
My cousin Pingping was more refined. She gently picked up two fries with her slender fingers, elegantly dipped them in ketchup, and put them in her mouth to chew slowly, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Then, the two of them simultaneously picked up their Coke cups and took a big gulp. The bubbly, happy water slid down their throats, and the refreshing feeling made them squint their eyes and make a satisfied "glug" sound. They followed Yuan Bao and fully enjoyed the pleasure brought by this delicious combination.
Ah~! Awesome!
Only then did the eldest brother, Baoguo, slowly stroll down from the second floor.
He was wearing a loose T-shirt, his hair hanging down casually, humming an unknown song as he walked.
As soon as he reached the stairwell, a rich aroma of fried chicken wafted over, instantly energizing him. His gaze was drawn to the golden-brown, fragrant fried chicken on the table.
Looking up, I saw Yuan Bao and the two little ones enjoying their meal immensely.
Xiaoshan held a fried chicken in one hand, his cheeks puffing out, oil dripping down the corners of his mouth; his cousin Pingping took small bites of fried chicken, then a bite of fries, and occasionally picked up her Coke cup to take a sip, her face beaming with satisfaction.
Yuan Bao was enjoying his meal so much that he unconsciously started humming a little tune.
Upon seeing this, Bao Guo became instantly interested. He strode to the dining table, reached out, grabbed a piece of fried chicken, and took a big bite.
With a "crunch," the crispy skin of the fried chicken shattered in his mouth, and the tender, juicy chicken meat instantly burst on his taste buds.
He chewed while exclaiming, "Wow! There's fried chicken and cola! You guys are so unfair! You should have called me earlier! Were you planning to eat all this yourself behind my back?"
