Chapter 183 Giving Watermelon
Chapter 183 Giving Watermelon
The maid brought a cup of this year's new tea.
The tea leaves soaked in hot water gradually become plump from dry, and the lush green color complements the teacup painted with light pink peach blossoms.
Jiang Siyin had never tasted such good tea.
He couldn't wait to pick up the teacup, and as soon as he brought it close to his nose, he could smell the fragrance of tea.
"suck--"
"hiss--"
The moment his rosy lips touched the tea, Jiang Siyin was so scalded that he almost cried.
Who would have thought it would be so hot?
He made a hissing sound with his mouth and put down the teacup, not wanting to touch it again.
The mung bean soup at home is still the best.
"Xiao Cui, why are you bringing a cup of hot tea in such a hot day? Go and get the iced sour plum soup from the kitchen."
The scene of Jiang Siyin being scalded by tea was seen by Yun Lan who was coming downstairs.
She frowned and looked down at the maid with dissatisfaction.
"It's okay, it's okay. It won't be hot if it cools down. It just so happens that I haven't tasted such good tea before. No need to bring the sour plum soup. I'll leave right away." Jiang Siyin moved his butt off the rosewood armchair.
He turned towards Yunlan who was standing on the stairs.
He smiled and helped the maid out of the predicament.
Xiao Cui looked at Jiang Siyin with gratitude.
"Go and bring it here." Yun Lan didn't ask any further questions. She raised her chin towards Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui backed out the door.
Go get some sour plum soup.
Another personal maid, Xiaoqing, and Fang Wanru helped Yunlan down the stairs.
After sitting in the main seat, Yun Lan asked about the Jiang family's recent situation with a smile.
"My family's shop is doing quite well, and Lai Di and her sisters are doing well. They play with their cousins at home every day. The shadow of being sold has long passed. My mother plans to change their surname to Jiang when they are seven years old and can be registered. Now, every night when we enjoy the cool air, everyone in the family is thinking of new names for the sisters.
Haha, no one is willing to give in. Yesterday, my mother met a watermelon seller again, so she bought all the stalls and asked me to send some over. There were two bags in total. The ones tied with hemp ropes should be eaten quickly. The stall owner said that they were picked a long time ago and cannot be left out for too long. The ones with black ropes can be kept for less than seven days. "
Jiang Siyin instructed word by word.
Without waiting for Yun Lan to speak, he continued.
"This time, we came here to ask for a favor. Mom said that none of us in the family had ever been to school. Just look at the names of our brothers and you'll know that we can't give Lai Di and the others good names.
Lai Di and the others were able to return from the human traffickers thanks to you. You are their savior. Mother said, please ask Madam Yun to give Lai Di and the others new names. From now on, they are no longer the poor little ones they used to be, but good children who are loved by their families. "
Jiang Siyin's words shocked Yun Lan deeply.
As the only daughter of a merchant family, she was carefully educated by her family since childhood, and when she grew up, she married a husband who was also a merchant.
She was used to seeing countless evil people who did not take women's lives as human lives.
The Jiang family’s behavior reminded her of her deceased parents.
Yun Lan's eyes became moist.
She cleared her throat, raised her head slightly, and forced back the tears.
"Ahem, this is great. The hard times are over, and a bright future is waiting for them. The names Lai Di and Si Mei are really ugly. Even I can feel the malice of the person who gave them the names. Let's just call them Ru Yi and Huan Yue. I hope they will be happy and live a peaceful and happy life in the future."
When Jiang Siyin heard his niece's new name, his eyes suddenly lit up.
You really deserve to be an educated person.
It sounds much better than the names my family members gave me, such as Dabao, Erbao, Xibao, Lebao, Guihua, Hongxia, Caixia, Erya and Sanya....
"Okay, okay, thank you Madam Yun for the name. It's a really good name."
Jiang Siyin praised.
He sat with the Fang Changyi brothers.
His handsome face instantly killed the two brothers who looked like Fang Yanheng.
Yunlan and her daughter suddenly felt like their own sons and brothers.
So ugly...
"Uncle Siyin, have you eaten yet? I'll ask the maids to prepare a table for you."
Fang Wanru said enthusiastically.
I really envy sister Fubao.
The last time I saw Uncle Siyin, he was still wearing patched clothes, but he was already very handsome. Today, he changed into a turquoise satin suit, which set off his smooth skin. At first glance, I would have thought he was less than 20 years old.
He doesn't look like his father at all, with a big round face and eyebrows so thick that they are almost merged into a straight line.
His eyes glared like a butcher who had slaughtered hundreds of pigs.
The Hittites were very.
My skin is the same color as the dirt in the ground and I can’t whiten it no matter what I do.
Fortunately, she looks as beautiful as her mother.
If she was like her brothers, like her father, she would cry herself to death.
I’m afraid I’ll never be able to get married.
"No, I have to hurry home soon. Besides, my mother brought me some meat pies when I came here, so the groom and I had enough on the way."
After chatting for fifteen minutes, the tea was no longer hot.
Jiang Siyin was very thirsty.
He picked up the teacup and took several sips.
His brows were furrowed in bitterness.
I took another sip of the cold sour plum soup. Although it was better than hot tea to relieve the heat, it was too sour.
It tastes really bad.
Jiang Siyin likes sweet food and dislikes sour or bitter food.
He no longer looked at the two cups.
"Okay, wait a minute. I have something here too. Can you bring it to Aunt Lan for me?"
Yunlan whispered a few words into the ear of Xiaoqing, her personal maid.
Xiaoqing lifted her skirt and walked out quickly.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Jiang Siyin got on the carriage and left the gate of the Fang Mansion under the gaze of the brothers Fang Wanru and Fang Changyi.
There were several packages in the carriage.
It was no use for him to refuse.
The maids and servants of the Fang Mansion were forced in.
He is not like his elder and second brothers, who have muscular bodies.
I don't have the energy to fight against so many people, I can only compromise.
The carriage turned a corner, and the three siblings turned around and went back.
The concierge was just about to close the door.
Fang Yanheng is back.
"Where have you three been?"
He stepped over the threshold and asked his children.
"Dad, you're back. Isn't the restaurant busy today? Uncle Siyin just sent us some watermelons. Dad, come to the courtyard to eat them. The Jiang family's watermelons are so sweet and seedless. Mom asked the maid to cut the watermelons into pieces and chill them. We can eat them when we get there."
Fang Wanru couldn't wait to pull her father and run away.
Where is the dignified appearance of a rich lady?
"A seedless watermelon? This is the first time I've heard of it. Are you really not kidding me?"
Fang Yanheng was a little unconvinced.
"Dad, really, I ate it too. The watermelon is very sweet, and the skin is very thin, and the flesh is bright red. After taking a bite, all the heat is gone. I have been thinking about this bite these days since I came back from the Jiang family. It's really hot, and I am tired of drinking sour plum soup."
Fang Changyi has spoken.
Fang Yanheng believed most of it.
You know, his eldest son never lies.
Almost never told a lie.
The four returned to the courtyard.
Sure enough, I saw a food box on the table.
After opening it, each grid was filled with sliced watermelon, with cool ice cubes underneath.
