Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Daibao is a Little Foodie

But very soon, Yu Nuannuan found out what had happened, and it was from Yu Hai and Chen Qiaoqin that she heard the whole story.

After breakfast, the two of them put Yu Nuannuan on the bed, sat down at her bedside, and looked at her with eyes full of curiosity. “Nuanbao, why don’t you turn the sour jujubes into sweet ones?”

Yu Nuannuan blinked her big round eyes. She didn’t know either!

“Nuanbao, do the sour jujubes get even more sour every time you touch them?”

“Nuanbao, can’t you really make the sour jujubes sweet?”

“Nuanbao…”

Chen Qiaoqin and Yu Hai were about to keep pestering her when Xu Shuhua pushed open the door and came in. “What are you two doing? Nothing better to do in broad daylight? If you’re so free, go weed and water the fields! Don’t you see Nuanbao looking at you like you’re a pair of fools?”

Before the two could reply, Xu Shuhua continued, “If you keep acting silly, stay away from Nuanbao. Don’t go infecting my Nuanbao with your foolishness.”

With that, Xu Shuhua picked up Yu Nuannuan and headed outside. “Nuanbao, Daibao is here to play with you. Come on, let’s go play with Daibao!”

In Xu Shuhua’s heart, even though Gu Mo was called Daibao (Silly Bao), he was actually very smart!

In the whole Sanliqiao village, apart from Yu Nuannuan, Gu Mo was the smartest child.

Her Nuanbao should be playing with kids like Daibao.

Xu Shuhua carried Yu Nuannuan out into the yard, and Yu Nuannuan saw Gu Mo standing under the sour jujube tree.

His tiny body, with a big head and short limbs, stood up perfectly straight.

When he saw Xu Shuhua carrying Yu Nuannuan over, Gu Mo blinked and said, “Hello, Grandma Xu.”

Xu Shuhua replied cheerfully, then turned her head and shouted into the house, “Old Fourth, bring out the bamboo bed.”

The Yu family had a bamboo bed, which was a recent addition.

Besides farming, Yu Zhenmin was also good at bamboo weaving. He had just made the bamboo bed at Xu Shuhua’s request, so that when it was cool outside, Yu Nuannuan could sit on it and play.

Yu Hai and Chen Qiaoqin quickly carried the bamboo bed over and, under Xu Shuhua’s direction, placed it in the shade under the sour jujube tree.

The bamboo bed wasn’t very big, about the size of a regular single bed. Xu Shuhua put Yu Nuannuan on it, then called Gu Mo over to sit as well. “It’s nice and cool here. You two can sit and play!”

Today’s wind was stronger than the last couple of days. Even though the sun was still glaring, it felt pleasantly cool.

Especially now, sitting in the shade and smelling the fragrance of jujubes—it was just so comfortable.

From the moment he sat down, Gu Mo kept looking up.

Yu Nuannuan only glanced at him once and knew he was eyeing those jujubes.

Gu Mo was a little foodie, but those jujubes really couldn’t be eaten.

Yu Nuannuan was just worrying about how to tell Gu Mo, when Xu Shuhua spoke up, “Daibao, those jujubes are really sour, you can’t eat them. Wait a bit, I’ll get you some ground cherries.”

Ground cherries kept well, so the family always had a lot on hand, mostly for Yu Wei and his five brothers.

Gu Mo was very obedient. When he heard Xu Shuhua, he nodded. “Okay.”

Xu Shuhua was about to get up, but Chen Qiaoqin stopped her. “Mom, you sit. I’ll go get them.”

Xu Shuhua didn’t argue, but turned to Gu Mo. “Daibao, how did you come over here by yourself? Where’s your mom?”

The Gu family lived right next door to the Yu family, less than ten meters between their front doors.

For adults, it was just a few steps.

But for a child like Gu Mo, who was only a year and a half old, it was still quite a distance.
