Maltose
"You're so good, come on, come on, Grandma Four will give you maltose to eat. If you scream the loudest, I'll give it to you first..."
Several children ran away cheering after getting maltose.
In the kitchen, Sun and Bao Suyun looked at each other.
"Third sister-in-law, aren't we a bit unethical?" Bao Suyun asked weakly.
Mrs. Sun smiled with an embarrassed look on her face, "What can we do? I remind the children not to eat, but they don't understand!"
"That's all. If you don't eat it cleanly, you won't get sick. The fourth brother and sister also have good intentions."
Bao Suyun smiled dryly and said, "Sister-in-law Si's fingers are going back and forth in the water. Logically... they should be washed, right?"
After a while, Cao Bamei came in, her cheeks bulging.
"Third Aunt, Fifth Aunt, let me pour some hot water and go back."
Today, no one has a fire on the stove at home, but the two stoves in Yang Huazhong's house are not allowed to stop, and the continuous hot water is enough to supply everyone's consumption.
"Here, let me fill it for you."
Bao Suyun took the water jug from Cao Bamei's hand and walked over to fill it with water.
Cao Bamei looked at the caramel-colored syrup that continued to bubble in the cauldron, "The sugar when the syrup is cold is really delicious. I just ate a piece, and now my mouth is still full of fragrance."
Bao Suyun, who was filling the water, turned around and looked at Sun. Sun was also startled.
"Bamei, where did that piece of candy in your mouth come from?" asked Sun.
Cao Bamei pointed behind her: "I met my third boy earlier and he gave it to me. He said he got two yuan and left one for me!"
A child of just over two years old knew how to do this, and Cao Bamei was very pleased.
"This boy is really sensible." Mrs. Sun praised sincerely.
"Second sister-in-law, my son's filial piety candy must be delicious, right?"
Yang Ruoqing's voice came from behind, and she came over too.
Cao Bamei narrowed her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "That's necessary."
Yang Ruoqing asked again: "In addition to sweetness, is there any other different taste?"
Cao Bamei thought for a while, "It's a bit...salty."
"Ah? Why is it so salty? I thought you would say it tastes like happiness!" Yang Ruoqing added with a smile.
At this time, Sun and Bao Suyun secretly exchanged glances. Bao Suyun hesitated to speak, and Sun secretly shook his head at her.
Some things are better not to know than to know. Just be a little salty. It's harmless and won't endanger your life.
It's not good to say it out and know it.
It's like eating a worm when eating vegetables. It's disgusting to swallow the whole worm without realizing it, but it's even more terrible to eat a cut and keep one, isn't it?
"Eight Sister, are you here? I saw your third boy giving him two pieces of candy earlier!"
After Liu's candy was finished, she returned to the kitchen with an empty bowl. When she saw Cao Bamei here, she immediately asked for credit.
Cao Bamei also turned around and smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "So it was you, Fourth Aunt, who gave it to me? Thank you very much..."
Mrs. Liu waved her hand, "That's okay. Children like to eat sweets. This candy is also delicious. As an adult, I couldn't help but eat several pieces!"
While she was speaking, she passed by Sun and Bao Suyun, squeezed to the side of the large syrup boiling pot on the stove, scooped out the syrup and submerged it into the cold water.
While waiting, Ms. Liu felt her nose was a little stuffy, so she naturally stuffed her fingers into her nostrils.
On the side, Cao Bamei was originally going to say a few more words of thanks, but Liu's action made her stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Liu took out a lump of stuff from her nostrils, and flicked her fingertips as if she were practicing the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the lump of stuff was ejected to the ground.
She stood there and twisted her body, then suddenly put her hands behind her back, scratched her pants a few times, and then rubbed her hands to clean them perfectly.
"Hey, the candy is ready. Which of you wants to eat?"
Several people in the kitchen witnessed the whole process with their own eyes, and they were all stunned at the moment.
"Qing'er, would you like to join us?"
A piece of maltose that was very similar in color to the lump that Liu had dug out earlier was stretched out in front of Yang Ruoqing.
If she hadn't been an expert and hadn't reacted in time, she might have been intimately fed by Mrs. Liu at this moment.
Yang Ruoqing was so frightened that she jumped three feet away. She suppressed the fear in her heart and said with a smile to Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, you're welcome. I've stopped eating because of my toothache recently. You eat, please eat more!"
Ms. Liu was startled by Yang Ruoqing's reaction, "Then you're in trouble. Come on, Bamei, you can have another piece."
Cao Bamei recovered from the shock, and just when she opened her mouth to say a polite refusal, her stomach suddenly started to churn.
He covered his mouth and rushed outside the kitchen, retching.
In the kitchen, Madam Liu blinked and asked Madam Sun and Bao Suyun: "What's going on with Eighth Sister?"
Sun and Bao Suyun were so embarrassed that they could not speak.
This question...only you know, we can't say!
Mrs. Liu suddenly slapped her thigh and exclaimed as if she had discovered a new world: "Ha, I understand,"
"Eighth sister, are you happy? Oh, Jin is going to be a father again?"
Several people in the kitchen were dumbfounded again. Mrs. Liu's mind was so strange that they couldn't keep up.
Outside the kitchen, Yang Yongjin, Yang Huazhong and others were gathering together to make syrup. When he saw Cao Bamei rushing out to find a corner to retching, Yang Yongjin quickly put down his work and ran over.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou also cast concerned looks.
But in the kitchen, Mrs. Liu, who thought she had spied the truth, couldn't sit still. She rushed out of the kitchen and ran to Yang Yongjin. With her eyes shining, she excitedly slapped Yang Yongjin on the shoulder.
The loud voice was so loud that everyone in the yard and kitchen could hear: "Jin boy, congratulations, you are going to be a father again!"
"Ah?" Yang Yongjin was stunned.
When Mrs. Liu saw Cao Bamei vomiting, she became even more excited: "Look, she is so happy because she is so happy. It is probably a son. Pregnancy with a son is a torture for the mother. Hahaha, kid, you are awesome. It has only been a few days since I went home to celebrate the New Year."
Eighth sister got pregnant due to surgery..."
Cao Bamei felt a little better after vomiting, but Liu's next bold guess made her feel bad again.
I wish I could just dig a gap in the ground and plunge in.
How should she tell Ms. Liu that she was not happy, but that she was disgusted by her boogers?
Yang Yongjin also looked embarrassed, but he was a man and after all, he had to be thick-skinned in this regard.
"Fourth Aunt, thank you for your kind words, but we know the matter between Eight Sisters and I. She is feeling cold to the stomach!"
"What? It's cold to the stomach? Aren't you unhappy?"
"Um!"
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, it makes me happy in vain."
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, lost interest in the excitement, and could only turn around and go back to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Yang Ruoqing could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. Sun and Bao Suyun were also holding it in very hard.
Seeing Madam Liu come in, Yang Ruoqing quickly stopped laughing and said to Madam Sun and others: "Mom, you guys are busy first, I'll go out first!"
There are many people in the house today, and it is lively and noisy. It is a good time to talk to Daan without anyone noticing.
