Chapter 633 - 626: Almond Flavor
Chapter 633: Chapter 626: Almond Flavor
Tian Lili is becoming more and more virtuous!
Sisi thought it was amusing, and followed Granny Zhao into the inner room. Little Du Du’s eyes lit up upon hearing there was Laba Porridge to drink, and he was already clamoring to eat Laba Porridge.
"Grandma will bring it to you. Du Du takes after your Mama in this regard. Your Mama loved drinking Laba Porridge when she was little too, she could only eat half a bowl of other meals, but she could drink a whole bowl of this porridge."
Granny Zhao smiled as she recounted Sisi’s childhood stories, making Sisi’s nose tingle with emotion.
Because the original character didn’t like eating meals as a child and loved drinking sweet porridge, Granny Zhao would save all the family’s allotted sugar for Sisi to eat. Donghua and Qinghua had to eat leftover food with their porridge, while only she could enjoy sweet porridge. Granny Zhao would also often gather raisins, red dates, peanuts, and other rare ingredients to make sweet porridge for Sisi.
Although it’s not good for children to eat sweets, in those days being able to eat sugar daily was seen as an extreme luxury, yet the original character enjoyed the privilege of eating sweets for three hundred days a year back then. Later, when she went there herself, she feared tooth decay and voluntarily asked to stop eating sweets, which is when Granny Zhao ceased making sweet porridge.
Reflecting on the love Granny Zhao and Old Man showed her and the original character, she feels she could never repay them enough. So now she’s just acting for Tian Lili’s benefit; there’s no point complaining about it.
"Granny, I still love eating the sweet porridge you make now." Sisi coquettishly said to Granny Zhao.
Granny Zhao smiled so widely that she couldn’t close her mouth, lovingly patting Sisi’s cheek, and said with a laugh, "If you love eating it, have more. Today’s porridge was made by Granny too, Granny will go and bring it for you."
"Granny, I’ll get it myself, you should rest here," Sisi quickly stood up.
"No need, Granny isn’t so old that she can’t move. Ah Nan, you sit down." Granny Zhao insisted while pressing Sisi onto the chair, then headed towards the kitchen on her own.
Sisi could only obediently sit down, waiting for Granny Zhao to serve the porridge, while Du Du played happily with Old Man.
Because of the intimate interaction with Granny Zhao just now, Sisi wasn’t aware of the hateful glare Tian Lili shot from the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Tian Lili placed two bowls of porridge on the tray, looking at the two bowls in front of her with a dark, mysterious expression.
Granny Zhao came in wanting to serve the porridge, Tian Lili promptly passed it over, "Granny, I’ve already served it, you can bring it to Sisi and Du Du."
"Lili, you are indeed quick! I was about to serve two bowls!"
Granny Zhao was very satisfied with her granddaughter’s expression, thinking that her misguided granddaughter really had improved. Thinking this made her soften her heart.
"Why don’t you join us in the living room to eat, your grandfather just has a bad temper, just ignore him."
Tian Lili was secretly delighted, but outwardly followed Chang Yunhuan’s teachings, putting on a pitiful face, "No need, Granny, I’ll just eat in the kitchen, so my grandfather doesn’t see me and get his blood pressure raised. Granny, quickly take the porridge to Sisi and Du Du, it’s not good to drink if it gets cold."
Granny Zhao sighed, carrying the porridge away; she really didn’t forcibly bring Tian Lili into the room as she feared Old Man would get angry and his blood pressure would rise.
But in her heart, she thought she should persuade Old Man more, after all, it’s their granddaughter, even if she made mistakes in the past, she has corrected them now. As elders, they should be more generous!
Besides, how many more years do they have left?
Might as well enjoy the filial piety of their descendants for as long as possible!
The soft-hearted Granny Zhao didn’t realize that at that moment, Tian Lili in the kitchen had immediately changed her face, took off her apron and threw it aside, and cursed ’old favoritism’ with a cold smile, then picked up a bowl and started slurping the porridge.
Humph! He Sisi, once you drink that bowl of porridge and turn into an ugly monster, let’s see if your grandparents still love you like before?
How dare you, an outsider vixen, usurp the status and affection meant for my own granddaughter?
Sisi stood up to take the tray from Granny Zhao, bringing out the two bowls of porridge to allow Granny Zhao and Old Man to eat first.
"No need, your grandfather and I have already eaten. Ah Nan, you and Du Du eat, there’s still a big pot in the kitchen after you finish!" Granny Zhao said lovingly.
Seeing the fragrant porridge, Du Du couldn’t resist, grabbing a bowl and wanting to dig in, but was stopped by a slap from Sisi.
"Slow down, have you forgotten how your tongue got burned by porridge last time? Like Mama does, keep stirring with the spoon to disperse the heat, then you can slowly start eating."
Sisi stirred for a while, smelling the familiar aroma, couldn’t resist anymore, and scooped a small spoonful of porridge ready to send into her mouth.
"Mama, you’re cheating, not waiting for me." Du Du protested.
"Your tongue is afraid of heat, Mama will eat first then." Sisi laughed as she sent the porridge into her mouth.
Though Du Du wanted to eat as well, the pain from last time’s burned tongue was etched in his memory, and the little one’s self-control was quite good. He maintained his strong resistance to the gnawing craving within and continuously stirred the porridge with his little hands, while Old Man beside him nodded approvingly, the little one’s self-control wasn’t bad.
As soon as the porridge entered her mouth, Sisi seemed to detect a hint of almond flavor, thinking that Tian Lili had added almonds to the porridge, appreciating that Tian Lili had actually done something right this time - almonds can relieve coughs and sputum, beneficial for older people.
She directed the porridge into her mouth, about to swallow, when her body tightened abruptly. This was a signal of extreme danger. Instinctively, she spat out the porridge, but as the porridge was stewed incredibly soft, much of it had already slipped down her throat following her earlier intake, making her tongue instantly numb.
Sisi barely managed to rush over and knock the porridge from Du Du’s hands, immediately feeling her heartbeat accelerate, breathing starting to catch, and her limbs beginning to convulse uncontrollably.
Tian Lili, if this aunt doesn’t die, I’ll surely make you pay!
She now realized she was caught in Tian Lili’s trap!
Sisi struggled to take a bottle of high-concentration Qiong Wine from Space, intending to pour it into her mouth, but her body no longer listened to her commands, and her hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Granny Zhao was already stunned, while Old Man, though shocked, was a seasoned soldier who had commanded thousands, immediately rushed over to take the Qiong Wine from Sisi’s hands, pouring it continuously into her mouth as tears streamed down and dripped onto Sisi’s face.
"You’ll be okay, Ah Nan drink more, drink and you’ll be okay."
One bottle of Qiong Wine was quickly poured in, Sisi was somewhat conscious in the beginning and managed to drink half, but subsequently fell into a coma, with half pouring out.
Granny Zhao had come to her senses by this time, seeing the unconscious and still convulsing Sisi, was in a panic.
"Old man, what’s going on? What’s wrong with Ah Nan? Ah?"
Old Man didn’t have the time to deal with her, and with a grim face walked to the phone to make a call, he had to call Mr. Yun, as only Mr. Yun could send people quickly to save Ah Nan.
