Chapter 830: Eating Candies
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was nothing else.
Ye Muyu was ready for a good show, but this was it?
“Heng, do you think it’s delicious?”
“It’s delicious,” Chu Heng’s eyes hid a hint of a smile, but his face was expressionless.
“Mother, can I eat now?” Chu Jin said pitifully.
“Sure, but the taste is a little special. If you don’t like it, you can’t spit it out. You have to swallow it.” Ye Muyu did not like wasting food, so she made her request in advance.
“There’s nothing in this world that I don’t like to eat. Mother, you’re underestimating me.” Chu Jin shook his head nonchalantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of preserved egg and put it into his mouth.
In the next moment, his small face instantly scrunched up into a ball. Tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to spit it out but did not dare to. When he saw his mother looking at him, he hurriedly swallowed it without chewing.
After swallowing it, he quickly drank two mouthfuls of black tea. Only when the stimulating taste in his mouth dissipated did he rub his eyes red and cry. “Mother, this tastes too bad.”
“Is that so? Then have some porridge.”
Zi Luo thought of what her mother had said last night about using century eggs to make porridge. She quickly looked into the bowl. Sure enough, there were some small black pieces inside. They were century eggs!
Chu Jin lowered his head and saw it too. His face turned green.
Xiang Ling’er had always been well-behaved. She did not hate century eggs, so she started to eat the porridge. She found that the taste was not overbearing at all, and only the taste she liked was left. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she tilted her head to push it to Zi;uo sincerely. “Ziluo, it’s delicious, really.”
“Then I’ll give it a try too.”
Zi Luo took a sip and did not taste the overbearing taste again. She was relieved and continued to eat with satisfaction.
Chu Jin, on the other hand, had a deep memory of the century egg. He looked at the black egg and lean meat porridge and did not dare to eat it.
“He’s trying to be brave.” Chu Heng glanced at him.
“But he’s still doubtful.”
Chu Jin’s eyes were brimming with tears as he acted coquettishly toward Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu found his pitiful look funny. She stopped teasing him. “Your father’s words are just unpleasant. It’s not like he’s spanking you.”
“Alright, eat quickly. Would Mother lie to you? This porridge is delicious. If you don’t eat it, you’ll starve in the morning.”
Ye Muyu felt regretful that she did not get to see Chu Heng’s good show. However, she almost made her son cry.
“Madam, is someone coming to the house?” Madam Hu had just taken down all the bowls and chopsticks when she saw that Ye Muyu was still sitting at the dining table.
“Yes, someone is coming. When they come later, you can pour some tea.”
Madam Hu replied and went down.
On the other side, Chu Heng came out of the courtyard. He could still feel the strong taste of the century egg in his mouth. He paced around and turned to ask Han Zhuang, who was behind him. “Do you have candy?”
“Hmm?” Han Zhuang’s expression was a little subtle. It was really hard to imagine that the dignified master liked to eat candy!
“You don’t?” Chu Heng narrowed his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of danger.
“Yes!” Han Zhuang’s body trembled and he quickly took out a candy from his pocket. It was wrapped in oil paper and he had bought it to trick the village children.
Chu Heng pinched a piece and put it into his mouth. “Go get the keys from Ah Xing. Be careful when you move the luggage. Don’t damage the house. Also, remember to clean the house.”
After giving his instructions, Chu Heng turned around and walked toward the old residence.
Last night, he had also seen the blueprint of the house that Ah Yu had given him. It was relatively large and had many rooms. It would probably take two to three months to renovate it.
On the other hand, the old residence was much simpler.
Ye Muyu did not wait long.
Tang Dongfeng brought three girls and two teenagers over.
