The family activity in the afternoon was harvesting. There was a greenhouse with a lot of vegetables and fruits here.
This way, the children could personally experience the hardships of being farmers.
At night, they would use the ingredients they picked to prepare dinner…
“Wow! What big strawberries!” Xiaoxin exclaimed excitedly when she saw the strawberries in the strawberry shed.
“Xiaoxin, be careful!” Jian Dan reminded Xiaoxin as she ran towards the strawberries.
“Wait for me!” Xiaokai chased after her…
He was the older brother, so he naturally had to take responsibility for protecting his younger sister.
“Don’t forget me!” Tiantian chased after them.
Jian Dan watched as the children ran away and quickly followed…
Only Liao Meiran, Liao Xingran, and Chu Liyuan were left.
Liao Meiran looked at her sister meaningfully and said, “I’ll go over too.”
She did not want to be the third wheel between her sister and Chu Liyuan.
“Xiaoxin, you can’t use scissors to pick strawberries because metal will hurt the strawberries. You can only use your hand to gently break the strawberry stem.” Jian Dan told Xiaoxin what Chu Liyuan had once said to her.
Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan, who was not far away from him. When he heard what Jian Dan said to the children, the corners of his lips curled up.
Liao Xingran was deeply mesmerized by this smile.
How can this man be so charming? I’m falling hard for him.
I would do anything to be with him.
At the thought that she would be able to see such a gorgeous face every morning when she woke up, Liao Xingran’s face subconsciously turned red.
However, in order not to let Chu Liyuan notice her abnormality, Liao Xingran quickly schooled her composure.
“Look how happy they are!” Liao Xingran said gently.
“Yes.” Chu Liyuan did not pay much notice and replied casually.
However, he did not know that it was his casual voice that almost paralyzed the woman’s heart.
Liao Xingran did not know what was wrong with her, getting so excited over one simple word.
Chu Liyuan did not stay here for long. He walked over and squatted beside Jian Dan. “How is it going?”
“We’ve plucked a lot. Look!” Jian Dan showed him the fruits of her and the children’s labor.
Naturally, Liao Xingran joined them in plucking.
“Well, we need to prepare dinner ourselves tonight. Why don’t we prepare it together?” Liao Meiran suggested again.
“Sure! It’s more lively with more people eating.” Jian Dan did not refuse.
It was mainly because Jian Dan did not know how to cook. If they prepared it together, Chu Liyuan would not have to prepare all the food by himself.
After the harvest was completed, everyone went to the kitchen to prepare tonight’s dinner…
Jian Dan and Liao Meiran led the children to pick and wash the vegetables. As for cooking, they naturally left it to Chu Liyuan and Liao Xingran.
This was because Liao Meiran had heaped praises on her sister.
She said that her sister was a very good cook.
“What are you planning to make? I don’t want to overlap with yours.” Liao Xingran said to Chu Liyuan.
“Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, sweet and sour pork, century eggs with chrysanthemum, Chinese yam with blueberry sauce, and shredded taro.” The dishes Chu Liyuan mentioned were all Jian Dan’s favorites.
“Alright, I’ll make shrimps with cashew, corn with pine nuts, stir-fried crab, mustard cabbage and braised fish.”
While cooking, Liao Xingran took the initiative to talk to Chu Liyuan. Although Chu Liyuan did not respond much to her, he still responded with a sentence or two.
These bare replies made Liao Xingran even more confident.
Everyone knew of Chu Liyuan’s legendary reputation as a decisive and resolute man who was also very reticent.
Him talking to me now proves that he treats me differently from other people.
At the thought of this, Liao Xingran’s lips curled up into a huge smile…
