But this would be the last trip, as Bai Sasa wanted to leave early precisely because she was worried that her grandparents would see her superhuman strength.
Unexpectedly, she was still seen and couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
In the end, the old grandfather didn’t think much of it, assuming his eyes were playing tricks on him.
After all, how could an eight-year-old child stride along carrying five sacks as if nothing?
Keep in mind that each sack held more than a dozen watermelons!
So the uncles and aunties who thought they saw wrong simply praised Bai Sasa before returning home to start a fire, cook, and then go to work.
Bai Sasa also breathed a sigh of relief and began to make breakfast at home.
Breakfast was much simpler. She cooked porridge, where one pound of rice could make five pounds of porridge, which tasted great with some cold dishes.
Staying up late the previous night caused Bai Junjun to miss the chance to get up early.
By the time she woke up, Bai Sasa’s clear porridge and pickled vegetables were ready, and Bai Junjun could only regretfully put aside the meat she had kept in the "Space".
After breakfast, everyone started to work together on making watermelon jam.
She planned to send both the watermelon jam and the bandits’ corpses to the county town, given the lack of transportation like cars and horses; it was troublesome to move them, so it was better to take care of everything in one go to save the back-and-forth travel.
The children were responsible for scooping the watermelon, while Li Wenli handled the candied sugar and cane sugar lumps.
Bai Junjun searched for materials suitable for making honey jars.
In general, everyone tacitly divided the work, as orderly as building a thatched toilet.
The Fool blended in very well. Although he was foolish, he wasn’t the troublesome kind of foolish but a well-behaved kind. He rarely got angry and was cooperative with anything he was asked to do.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but marvel that the Fool had such a good temper even when he was foolish, wondering how much nicer he must be when not acting foolishly.
It’s no wonder that the uncles in Death Valley couldn’t help but give him extra care.
However, the Fool’s only flaw was that he didn’t like to sleep; even if he did fall asleep, he would wake up soon after.
Li Wenli said this was because he lacked a sense of security, his subconscious wouldn’t let his body rest, as sleeping was beyond his control.
What on earth had the Fool experienced to end up ?
She had once infused her Special Ability into the Fool’s body to explore, but the Fool’s health was in good condition. The only issue was that some of his acupoints were a bit blocked.
But this wasn’t a serious matter, at most it was a subhealth state, so Bai Junjun let the matter rest.
At that moment, everyone was enthusiastically getting their work done, and Xiao Yu and her friends arrived, since they had agreed to go to the fields to look for wild vegetables today.
However, the two brothers, who were busy helping their sister, firmly shook their heads, "We still have work to finish, let’s go tomorrow."
"What?" Their friends were somewhat disappointed.
Not wanting to let the two brothers’ newly made friends be disappointed, Bai Sasa considerately said to them, "You guys go ahead, find some wild vegetables to bring back, and we can stir-fry them for lunch."
But Xiao Yu and Xiao Shan didn’t want to leave.
Bai Junjun also added, "And check if there are any wild fruits."
With even the eldest sister saying so, the two children reluctantly put down their work.
Their friends waited happily at the door, smiling at Bai Sasa and Bai Junjun.
"Thank you, Sister Junjun, thank you, Sister Sasa."
"Wait a minute, all of you come over here." Li Wenli, busy in the kitchen, heard the children’s voices and couldn’t help but wave them over.
The kids entered, puzzled, only to be surprised the next moment when Li Wenli handed each of them a piece of candied sugar the size of a fist.
