Scholar's Sweetheart

As the sky gradually turned dark, there were scattered flashes of light in the village.

Soong Xintong lit up some wormwood in the yard, and the three siblings sat in the yard enjoying the cool. The sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the vast sky was filled with endless transformations.

"Do you see that brightest star?" Soong Xintong asked the two of them, pointing at the North Star.

Big Treasure and Little Treasure nodded in unison and said, "I saw it."

Soong Xintong said, "It's called the North Star."

"Polaris?" The two of them had never heard of it before. They asked childishly, "Are they the stars in the north?"

Soong Xintong thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, it's the stars in the north. In the future, if you get lost, just look at the sky. Once you find this star, it will represent the north."

"What about during the day?" Little Treasure asked as he took down the stage.

Soong Xintong said, "That depends on the sun."

"And if there is no sun?" Big Treasure followed suit.

"That depends on the crown." Soong Xintong said, "The crown of the tree is lush on one side in the south, while the other is sparse in the north."

"Then what if there are no trees in the city?" Little Treasure asked again.

"Why do you two have so many problems?" Soong Xintong pinched Xiaobao's soft cheek. "We're already in the city, and you still don't know the way?" "You idiot!"

"Hehehe …" Big Treasure and Little Treasure laughed together, "Are we not fools?"

"He's not an idiot, why would he ask such a stupid question?" Soong Xintong held one in each arm.

Xiaobao raised his head and said, "Of course not. We all recognize that much already."

"How much is that?"

Little Treasure counted with his fingers, "Nineteen."

"There's so little face, yet you still know how to write?" Soong Xintong asked again.

"I can write one, two, three." Little Treasure said.

Soong Xintong said, "I thought you could even write?"

"Sis, bad!" Little Treasure rested his head on Soong Xintong's waist, swaying his head from side to side.

"Aiyo, you want me to knock me over!" Soong Xintong dodged in the direction of the treasure.

"Little Treasure, stop messing around, big sister! Be obedient!" Big Treasure took on the pose of an elder brother and shouted.

Xiaobao's most pained was this A'jie. Upon hearing her words, he hurriedly stood up and blew at Soong Xintong's waist. "I'll whooshing for A'jie, so it won't hurt anymore."

"…" Soong Xintong was speechless. Did she look like a three year old child? It's not painful anymore.

"Sister, don't be angry at me." Little Treasure hugged Soong Xintong's slender waist, intimately fawning on her.

"He's already six years old, but he's still so fed up. He doesn't look like a man at all." Soong Xintong smoothed Little Treasure's loose hair and tied it back in place.

Dabao raised his index finger and scratched his face. "Shame and shyness!"

"Ah …" Little Treasure jumped up and covered his face, "Bad news!"

"Hahaha …" Soong Xintong couldn't help but laugh out loud. With a lively little brother, no matter how tough the days were, they wouldn't feel it was difficult to endure.

In the early morning of the next day, Soong Xintong and Xie Family had once again went to the edge of the pool early in the morning.

Soong Xintong patted her back and said, "That's all we have to dig out for today. Let's transport them back first. I'm afraid the restaurant will be full of people soon."

Grandma Qiu took it and cut off a segment of the leaf. "Right, right. You two go pick the locust flower and Da Niu. We'll go back after we've finished with the rest."

"Alright." Xie Daniu and Aunt Xie were both good at their jobs, so they picked up their baskets full of clothes and walked back.

Soong Xintong squatted by the pool and washed her ears with mud. "Grandma, there are so many fish here. Why isn't anyone coming to fish?"

"This pool is far away, only the families that live at the back of the village would come. It's also very fishy and has a lot of thorns. The people in the village don't like it much." Grandma Qiu said, "If you want to eat it, then go back and get some online for Dayi to bring back to you later."

"No need, no need. I was just casually asking." Soong Xintong placed the broken ear root onto the dustpan at Grandma Qiu's feet. "Use more ginger, garlic, and some rice wine to make the meat. It shouldn't be too fishy."

"It's like this?" My wife doesn't know yet. " Grandma Qiu said.

"grandma, the fishes cooked in the county are so delicious. They don't have any fishy smell, so Sister Xintong should be the one cooking." Xie Yi, who was also tying up his ears, said.

"There are still a lot of ways. The steamed red braised meat is too simple, and some of them are even more meticulous." Xie Hao also couldn't help but ask.

Grandma Qiu said, "You've said it so well, have you eaten yet?"

"Nope." Xie Hao blushed, "I heard it from the butler who helped the worker last time."

"Sister Xintong, since you know how to cook, you should be able to cook some fish balls and fish soups as well, right?" Xie Yi asked.

Soong Xintong shook her head. "I can only cook simple dishes, but I can cook grilled fish."

"Roasted fish?" Xie Yi was curious, "You're roasting it?"

"More or less, and there's even a variety of dishes added in there. It smells really good." Soong Xintong said.

Xie Hao's eyes lit up and he looked at grandma. "grandma, why don't I go home and get some fish?"

"If you really want to come out, you have to come out!" Grandma Qiu was unwilling to do so. "Hurry up and get it done. The restaurant's people are about to arrive."

"Sure." Soong Xintong was beginning to want to eat the roasted fish. "But you don't need to take out the fishing net. It should be fine if you just take out a basket. There's a lot of fish in there. You can always drill into the basket."

"Then I'll try." Xie Yi and Xie Hao both stood up and walked towards the other side of the pool.

After arranging all the ear broken roots, Grandma Qiu dug a hole and buried all the leaves. Then, she shouted at Xie Yi, "Carry them back first."

Even after he had memorized all the broken ears, the people from the restaurant had not arrived yet.

This time, Soong Xintong wasn't in a hurry. She calmly drank a mouthful of tea and said to Uncle Xie and the others, "Brother Dayi is going to fish. I'll eat at my place later. I promise it won't smell fishy."

"No need, no need. I just had a meal with you two the day before yesterday, why are you still eating at your house?" Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie didn't even agree.

Soong Xintong said, "What's wrong with that? Fish don't cost anything anyway."

Uncle Xie smacked his lips and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten fish in a really long time. Huai Hua, go home and bring a few catties of rice over. Let's try out Xintong's cooking skills tonight."

"Alright, I'll go back and get it." Without waiting for Soong Xintong to stop him, Aunt Xie ran away.

"Then I'll go up the mountain and get you some bundles of firewood." Uncle Xie picked up his machete and carrying pole and walked up the mountain.

Grandma Qiu smiled as she looked at the backs of her son and daughter-in-law. "Then I'll be your assistant?"

"Alright then. Thank you grandma." "Yes." Soong Xintong agreed without any hesitation. Xie Family people were all grateful people, only when there were good fortune would they have a closer relationship with each other.

Mo Yu took another incense stick to burn before Lucky Restaurant's carriage arrived late.
