Chapter 91
The light of day fell from the fish-scale-like clouds, one beam after another, and the Tyndall effect at this moment displayed its most beautiful effect.
Tiantian stood in front of the small dough figurine stall. After the old master’s a-series-of-letting-it-slide operation, he finally successfully completed the task.
He seriously stuck the small dough figurine he had made on the stall.
He looked at the lifelike and beautiful small dough figurines made by the master next to him, then at the ugly small dough figurine he had made.
Tiantian couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes curved, and the light in them was brilliant.
“Thank you, master~”
He bowed seriously to the master.
His little appearance was serious and quite likable.
The old master laughed out loud, really liking Shen Tiantian’s cleverness, and waved his hand.
“It’s fine. You have to practice diligently in the future. If you don’t practice a skill like making dough figurines for a day, your hands will become very rusty.”
After learning the skill from the master, the first half of today’s variety show recording was almost over.
The production team had booked a private room in a restaurant not far away and invited the masters and the guests to eat together.
The children gathered together, cheerful and lively, their tender voices chirping, and for a moment, it was even more lively than a wet market.
Shen Tiantian was the only one among all the children who still needed to wear a bib when eating.
He was on average two or three years younger than the other children. He sat on a stool with his head exposed, his short little legs swinging, and he couldn’t even reach the dishes.
“Little brother Tiantian, I’ll help you!”
“Me too! What do you want to eat? My arms are long, I can reach them!”
After these few episodes of training, Xiaowan had grown a lot. Although she was still shy, she was now very responsible.
She would occasionally give Tiantian meat and vegetables, and also held a tissue to help Tiantian wipe his mouth.
“Thank you, big sister Xiaowan.”
Tiantian held his small bowl high, his eyes shining, and said to Shen Jinfeng on the side in a milky voice:
“Big brother, I also want a vegetable bun.”
Shen Jinfeng was afraid that he couldn’t finish it, so he broke the vegetable bun into a very small piece and placed it in Shen Tiantian’s bowl.
Shen Tiantian’s mouth was stuffed full, and he couldn’t speak anymore.
He ate very heartily. Even a somewhat dry vegetable bun could be eaten in one bite. The vegetables inside were not very tasty, but since they were in his bowl, he had to eat them all.
The other children who were not serious about eating, seeing Tiantian chewing on the bun, his lips lifting and falling, like a little rabbit burying its head in its food, were also driven to eat a couple more bites.
When he was almost full, Shen Tiantian puffed out his little belly and patted it in satisfaction.
His belly was soft and springy, and you could tell at a glance that he was full.
Tiantian looked up and saw that the master was still slowly picking at his food. He held a teacup of Coke and ran to the master’s side.
“Master, master.”
Shen Tiantian tugged on the master’s clothes and held up the small teacup.
“Master, you drink Coke.”
The master laughed out loud and waved his hand.
“I don’t drink sweet things. Besides, others offer tea to their masters. You’re offering Coke?”
Tiantian tilted his head in confusion and asked:
“Master doesn’t like to drink Coke? Then how about milk?”
He then waved his small hand with disgust. “Tea is not good to drink. It’s bitter.”
The master was so amused that he laughed twice and clinked his cup with the little one.
“Alright, Tiantian, hurry up and sit back down.”
Zhaozhao, on the side, poked his little head over and said with his eyes shining:
“Tiantian, tea is bitter, but milk tea is very delicious. It’s super sweet!”
Tiantian had been tricked by Shen Jinfeng before and had mistaken the brown-coffee colored coffee, which was the same color, for milk tea and had taken a big gulp.
As a result, his little face was so scrunched up from the bitterness that he couldn’t recover for a long time.
So Shen Tiantian said firmly:
“That’s not it. Milk tea is also bitter!”
Xixi came over, chewing on her food, her cheek puffed out as she said:
“Milk tea is sweet. Little brother Tiantian, have you never had milk tea before?”
Xixi was quite protective. Her little brother Tiantian was delicate and good-looking, and he was also small, so he definitely needed more care from them, his older brothers and sisters.
“I can treat you to milk tea!”
With that, Xixi took out this week’s pocket money from her pocket.
“Look, I have ten yuan! I can buy a big cup of milk tea!”
Xiaowan also had pocket money. She didn’t like to spend it randomly and had saved almost twenty yuan.
“I have some too. We’ll go and buy it together later.”
Hutou and Zhaozhao also had pocket money and nodded in agreement.
Tiantian blinked a few times and said, puzzled:
“But I don’t like to drink milk tea. It’s bitter and not good to drink.”
With that, he went to pull on Shen Jinfeng’s clothes and asked his brother to testify for him.
“Big brother, hurry up and tell everyone that milk tea is bitter, right?”
Before, to stop the little one from drinking sweet milk tea, Shen Jinfeng had specially replaced the milk tea with coffee.
Now, seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, Shen Jinfeng cleared his throat a few times and said vaguely:
“Maybe. Maybe some milk teas are sweeter?”
Tiantian was confused. He walked over to his brother, looked up with his little head, and puffed out his cheeks as he stared at his brother.
His expression was serious, as if he were determined to see a flaw on his brother’s face.
It made Shen Jinfeng both guilty and amused.
“Stop looking. You’ll know if it’s bitter or sweet after you buy a cup and try it later, won’t you?”
Shen Tiantian’s little brain whirred, and he immediately understood. He let out a small huff from his nose.
“Big brother is a big liar!”
He would never believe his brother’s words again!
Tiantian sat back in his seat with a huff. He turned his little belly and had some space, and picked up a piece of stir-fried bitter melon with meat.
Shen Jinfeng looked up and glanced at it.
“This meat is bitter.”
Shen Tiantian didn’t believe it!
He glared at his brother with his round eyes and then quickly stuffed the stir-fried bitter melon with meat into his mouth.
“Ugh!”
It’s really bitter!
Tiantian swallowed it with difficulty, stood there in a daze, and looked up at his brother.
Did his brother actually tell the truth this time?
Shen Jinfeng looked at the little one’s stunned and surprised expression and huffed.
His eyes, which were like perfect shapes carefully drawn, lifted slightly, as if a peach blossom had bloomed.
“What, can’t I tell the truth for once?”
Shen Jinfeng pinched Tiantian’s little nose and also wiped the rice grain from the corner of his mouth.
“Do you believe it now?”
He himself didn’t realize that his actions of giving Shen Tiantian food and wiping his mouth had become more and more skilled.
It was a far cry from the image of him finding Shen Tiantian troublesome and wishing he could avoid him at the beginning.
The old master, who was seeing Shen Jinfeng and Shen Tiantian for the first time on the side, couldn’t help but laugh and sigh:
“These two brothers have a pretty good relationship. Not like my two grandsons, who fight as soon as they meet, like enemies.”
Shen Tiantian huffed and ignored his brother. He held a small piece of melon and gnawed on it. The sweet taste instantly suppressed the bitterness.
He let out a long sigh, and his eyes finally regained their sparkle.
After the meal, while the production team was still discussing the subsequent filming, the several children ran to buy milk tea together.
Tiantian took out the five red bills he had gotten from his cousin from his pocket, stood on his tiptoes, and handed them to the older sister who was making the milk tea.
“Older sister, I want five cups of milk tea!”
He turned his little face and patted his little chest magnanimously.
“I’m treating everyone to milk tea today.”
Zhaozhao, on the side, couldn’t help but let out a “wow,” his eyes shining again.
“Tiantian, you’re so rich! Did you earn it from filming?”
Tiantian shook his head. “No, I earned it from selling phone numbers.”
Although they didn’t understand what was going on, it didn’t stop the other children from admiring Tiantian.
Tiantian could take out five hundred yuan in one go!
So amazing!
The shop assistant’s older sister handed back four red bills and said with a smile:
“You don’t need that much. We have a classic flavor of milk tea that’s very delicious with some Oreo cookie crumbs. It’s exactly twenty yuan a cup.”
Tiantian hummed in acknowledgment and took the money back. Then he counted on his little hands. Twenty for one cup, how much for five?
Zhaozhao was also a bad student. The two of them were next to each other, each holding out two paws.
They counted their fingers as if they were pointing at soldiers, and after counting all four hands, they still couldn’t figure out how much it was.
Fortunately, Xiaowan and Hutou were older and were fast at math. They quickly calculated:
“Five cups is exactly one hundred!”
Tiantian’s eyes curved into a smile, and he immediately nodded.
“That’s right. Big sister Xiaowan and big brother Hutou are so amazing!”
The milk tea was made one cup after another. The five little ones held the warm milk tea, took a sip, and smiled so much that their teeth were showing.
This was also the first time Tiantian had had pearl Oreo milk tea.
The sweet and rich milky fragrance was mixed with a very light tea fragrance, and the special texture of the Oreos was so delicious that it made one’s eyes light up.
Shen Tiantian squatted on the side of the road, sipping his milk tea, his two eyes shining brighter than a several-hundred-watt light bulb.
Milk tea is so delicious!
It’s really sweet, completely different from what I had before!
Shen Jinfeng watched as he took a big gulp and finished half a cup, and his eyelid twitched.
“Shen Tiantian, look at your little belly. It’s about to burst!”
Shen Jinfeng quickly came over and took the milk tea from Shen Tiantian’s hand.
“You can’t drink anymore.”
Tiantian, who was full, felt that he couldn’t stand up. His throat was full of the sweet taste of milk tea, and it felt as if if he burped, he would spit out the milk tea.
He puffed out his round belly and stood up unsteadily.
He felt that if he walked two steps forward, he could hear the sound of water sloshing in his stomach.
The other children were not much better. Their parents came over in time to stop them and took the milk tea away one by one.
Shen Tiantian held onto the wall, found a large stone pier to sit down on, so full that he couldn’t walk a single step.
He let out a long sigh. The sun was just shining down, so warm that it was as if it would melt people.
Tiantian dazedly rubbed his little eyes and said with a small yawn:
“Big brother, I’m so full. I’m so sleepy.”
Shen Jinfeng knew that this was because he had eaten too many carbohydrates and was in a carb coma.
He let out a long sigh, bent his legs, sat on the side of the road, and rubbed Shen Tiantian’s stomach.
