Chapter 10 Candied Fruit
Tong Zhier looked at everyone, took a small portion of candied fruit from the pestle and put it in his mouth.

"How is it?" Xing Hua looked at her without blinking, Lan Hua and Tong Duo'er did the same, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu looked eagerly at the candied fruit in the mortar.

Tong Zhi'er suddenly wrinkled into a bitter face.

"...Fortunately, it looks so attractive." Xinghua looked at the candied fruit in the mortar resentfully, and gritted her teeth.

Lan Hua comforted her and said, "It's okay, go to the city tomorrow, I'll ask Dad to buy you a pack of candied fruit."

"Zhi'er, spit it out quickly." Tong Duo'er patted Tong Zhi'er's back and said anxiously.

"Hahaha………"

Tong Zhi'er's sudden laughter made everyone dumbfounded, Xinghua was the first to come to his senses, wiped a handful of candied fruit from the mortar, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and scolded with a smile: "Good job, you little fox!" , actually lied to us, this candied fruit is delicious."

"Zhi'er, you are so naughty." Tong Duo'er nodded Tong Zhi'er's head, and shook her head with a smile.

"Second sister is bad." Tong Zhaofu said.

"..." Tong Zhu'er happily looked at the candied fruit in the mortar, and thought: You can tell that the candied fruit is delicious just by smelling it.

Orchids also came to tickle the young branches.

"Aiyo, aiyo," Tong Zhi'er laughed out of breath, begging for mercy, "I was wrong, can't I be wrong, this candied fruit is really delicious, everyone should try it."

After working so hard for so long, everyone naturally wants to taste what the candied fruit made by themselves tastes like.Xinghua handed the pestle to Tong Duo'er, and said with a smile, "Sister Duo'er, you are the biggest here, share it with us."

"Okay," Tong Duo'er took the pestle, dipped it in candied fruit, and distributed it to Tong Zhi'er, Lan Hua, Xing Hua, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu one by one, and finally she was herself.

"Hey, I didn't expect this fruit to be so sour, and it would be so delicious when made into candied fruit. It's as good as the candied fruit shop in the city." Lan Hua said with a smile.

Xinghua nodded, but didn't speak, she was very busy with her mouth now.

"Second Sister, this candied fruit is really delicious." Tong Zhu'er's cheeks were bulging, and her eyes were bright.

"Second sister is the smartest." Tong Zhaofu kissed Tong Zhi'er's face, chewing candied fruit in his mouth, making Tong Zhi'er's face wet and sticky.

Tong Zhi'er was not annoyed, he just grabbed Tong Zhaofu's sleeve and wiped it on his face.

Tong Zhaofu cried out in distress, saying that this is the clothes his mother made for him, his precious ones are not good, and the second sister can't do that.

Tong Zhi'er nodded his forehead and said: "You little brat, remember to kiss Second Sister next time when you don't have food in your mouth."

Tong Zhaofu nodded obediently, and ran to Tong Duo'er aggrieved, seeing Lanhua and Xinghua laughing for a while.

Tong Duo'er patted Tong Zhaofu's head and said, "Don't worry, I'll go home later, and my eldest sister will clean it for you."

"Well," Tong Zhaofu's depressed mood became very happy.

The candied fruit was delicious, and it was finished in a short time. Xinghua, Tong Zhuer, and Tong Zhaofu were very satisfied.

"Zhi'er, let's go pick some fruit and make it into candied fruit." Xinghua looked at Tong Zhi'er eagerly and said, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu heard that, and looked at Tong Zhi'er with bright eyes.

Tong Zhi'er patted her chubby belly, waved her hands, and said, "No, I can't climb trees like this."

"It's okay, I can do it." Hearing that there was something going on, Xinghua waved her chest and said loudly.

"I can do it too." Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu said at the same time.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and the three of them had a good time. Tong Zhi'er, Lan Hua and Tong Duo'er finished their food, and the three of them came back with a small bag of fruits.

Seeing the excited and expectant faces of the three, after a good rest, Tong Zhi'er and the others started making preserves again.

This time they picked a lot of fruit, and they made two mortars of candied fruit. One mortar was wrapped in the paper bag that the apricot blossoms had previously wrapped in sugar, and the other mortar was lying in the mortar.

Because they ate some before, the six of them only ate a small half of what was in the paper bag this time.

"Second Sister, let's take these back for our parents to taste." Tong Zhaofu said.

Tong Zhi'er patted his head, nodded and agreed.

"Cousin, let's let aunt and uncle taste it too."

"Ah."

So Tong Duo'er divided the remaining candied fruit into two portions, one was wrapped in paper for the orchid and apricot blossom, and the other was put in the mortar.After saying goodbye, they each went to their own homes.

Tong Duo'er put the mortar in the room, covered it with a clean cloth, and then went to the kitchen with Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er to make dinner.Tong Zhaofuai followed the three sisters and came in together.But the three of them didn't need his help, they just let him play by themselves.

Wash the wild vegetables dug in the morning, make three dishes, and cook gruel with a bowl of rice, and dinner is ready.

Tong's family is not rich, and they don't have a lot of white rice. Most of the time they eat porridge, which is barely enough for food and clothing.

During dinner, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin found that something was wrong with the children, especially Zhuer and Ah Fu. They smiled silly as if they had acquired some treasure, and asked them what was going on. People don't say anything.

When the three sisters of Tongduo, Tongduo and Zhu'er were packing up the dishes and going to the kitchen, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin whispered, "I don't know what happened to Zhu'er and Ah Fu?"

Tong Zhixin smiled, "We adults don't know about children."

Thinking of his childhood, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone has an unforgettable childhood, and these funs are not necessarily known to adults.

"Father, mother, we have something nice to show you." At this time, the four children entered the room together, and Fang Cuiwei found that the eldest girl Tong Duo'er was still holding something covered with a cloth.

Fang Cui was slightly surprised: "What is this?"

The four siblings looked at each other and smiled, and Tong Duo'er stepped forward, "Mother, look for yourself."

Fang Cuiwei glanced at Tong Zhixin beside her, then at the eldest daughter, then at the second daughter, third daughter, and youngest son behind the eldest daughter, stretched out her hand, and uncovered the cloth.

"Hey----"

Fang Cuiwei exclaimed.

"Father, mother, this is the candied fruit we made, try it."

Fang Cuiwei looked at Tong Zhixin, "Father, you should try it first."

Tong Zhixin smiled, took a small piece of candied fruit with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Tong Duo'er looked at her nervously, Tong Zhi'er's heart was beating violently, the scene at this moment was very similar to the time when she showed the report card to her parents during the final exam of the first grade of elementary school.

At some point, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhixin and this warm courtyard have gradually integrated into her heart and become an inseparable part of her heart.The hesitation, panic, and helplessness of coming to another world for the first time completely dissipated at this time.Because she has a warm and friendly family.

Tong Zhixin nodded in the anticipation of Tongduo's children's branch, children's beads, children's Zhaofu and Fang Cuiwei.

"My mother, you should try it too." Tong Zhixin handed the chopsticks to Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei took the chopsticks, put a small chopstick into his mouth, and sighed: "Hey, this candied fruit is really delicious, comparable to what my children's grandparents bought when I was a girl. Several of our family The girl is really capable!"
