After a "long" wait, Little Taotie couldn’t wait any longer, as today was the ti for the final step.
The last step of growing mung bean sprouts, tily harvesting.
Once the mung bean sprouts had sprouted and grown, they could be harvested for eating and quickly picked.
Little Taotie’s pupils widened like glazed orbs, full of amazent.
In seven days, Little Taotie had witnessed the entire process of mung beans turning into sprouts and found everything incredibly magical.
Seeing that a small pot of mung bean sprouts had been picked, Little Taotie joyfully took this pot to the nanny.
At dinner, there was an extra dish on the table—stir-fried mung bean sprouts with shredded pork!
Little Taotie used communal chopsticks to serve the sprouts to her brothers and also gave Hua Jinyan a chopstick-full, then she looked at them with bright, hopeful eyes.
Although Cheng Guodong was very busy, he paid close attention to his little sister and had long known that she had grown mung bean sprouts, likely awaiting praise for her achievents.
Cheng Guodong ate the sprouts his sister had served him and did not skimp on his praise, highly complinting Little Taotie.
Qin Xin was more reserved, but he still praised Little Taotie.
Gu Yixing’s complints were as free as air, many of which were cheesy lines from characters he had played before.
...
On Friday after school, Little Taotie gathered a few friends to bravely explore the abandoned elentary school.
Little Fatty was the first to join since he always thought about eating delicious food and having fun.
Little Fatty suggested, "Let’s eat sothing first?"
It was unclear how many days they would play, so going to eat now was actually the wisest choice.
Little Taotie, always eager to eat, imdiately raised her hand in agreent.
Qiaoqiao hesitated a bit, but looking at Little Taotie, she eventually agreed too.
The sports committee mber shrugged indifferently, "I’m okay with following the majority."
They didn’t go elsewhere to eat but to the restaurant opened by the Calligraphy Teacher.
The restaurant’s business was not so good, as is usual with newly opened places.
"The food here is really delicious! I wish I could live here and co to eat every day!" a girl cooed to the boy beside her.
Little Taotie proudly lifted her chin, thinking: Of course! The Calligraphy Teacher’s restaurant is the best!
After a hearty al, the sky had also darkened a bit.
The children arrived at the abandoned elentary school.
The door plate of the elentary school was askew, the iron bars were rusty, and it took a lot of effort to push open.
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Little Taotie pushed open the heavy iron bars and called everyone to follow.
Qiaoqiao was a bit scared and followed closely behind Little Taotie, tightly holding onto the hem of Little Taotie’s clothes.
"Qiaoqiao, don’t be scared, there’s nothing to worry about," said Little Taotie very confidently.
After all, she had already checked the place once, and there wasn’t a single Ghost to be found, it was very clean.
It was because the place was safe that Hua Jinyan had allowed her to co, but he was still worried and followed closely behind Little Taotie, looking at Qiaoqiao with distrust and disdain.
Originally without Qiaoqiao, Little Taotie had only one friend, but now with Qiaoqiao, Little Taotie had long forgotten about him. Every day she stuck with Qiaoqiao, even to the restroom, the two girls went together.
Opening one door after another in the abandoned school, and finding no danger, Qiaoqiao also beca braver.
After saying goodbye to her friends, Hua Jinyan took Little Taotie next to the abandoned elentary school, to a deserted office building.
Generally, when a place is purchased and the buyer runs out of money to build, the area is largely left abandoned.
