"Xiaobai, can I use your telescope to look at the moon tomorrow?"
"Go register with Xiwawa."
"I'm going! Will I be able to see Chang'e?"
"I don't know, you should go register first."
"Then I'll go register."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
"I really went."
"...Don't go."
The Lantern Festival is just around the corner, but someone started spreading this weird idea that the moon will be very round on the Lantern Festival and you can see Chang'e and the rabbit. So everyone came to Xiaobai asking to borrow the telescope.
Xiao Bai initially refused, clearly telling them that there was no Chang'e or a rabbit, and it wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival, but only the Lantern Festival.
But the girls didn't believe it and insisted on seeing it. Xiaobai was too lazy to care, so he agreed, and then more and more kids started applying.
Xiaobai handed everything over to Xiwawa, letting Xiwawa manage it.
Xiwawa then brought along Robin, who had volunteered, and the two of them took care of the arrangements.
After Xiaobai sent Xiaoyouyou away, he couldn't help but say, "Another silly goose."
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we eat glutinous rice balls.
Xiaobai and Xier bought some handmade glutinous rice balls on the street in Huangjia Village this morning. They were made on the spot, and you could see how much care they put into making them.
"What flavor would you like?" The owner was a kind-looking middle-aged woman.
Before Xiaobai could speak, Xier interrupted, "Sweet."
Xiao Bai opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally said, "I'll have something salty too."
Xi'er was shocked and told her, "The sweet ones are delicious, Xiaobai."
"There should be sweet ones, and there should be savory ones too."
"Salty flavors don't taste good."
"I just want to eat two salty ones."
"Then I'll buy you two salty ones."
"My old man also wants to eat salty food."
"Godfather doesn't eat salty food, right?"
"Salty flavors are delicious, but sweet flavors get too cloying after a while. Fresh meat filling is the best."
"The sweet ones taste even better; they're sweet but not cloying at all, and they're so comforting to eat."
The two argued in the shop. Xi'er was a staunch sweet tooth, while Xiaobai ate both sweet and savory foods. She felt they should buy some of both, as too much sweetness would be cloying. They should buy some savory foods instead.
"Robin, what do you say?" Xiaobai suddenly asked her niece. She and Xiwawa were arguing and desperately needed a third party to support her.
"Huh?" Robin was caught off guard. Was this something she was supposed to be involved in?!
Xi'er also asked her, "Robin, I remember you like sweets, right?"
"Me, me, me, me~~"
Robin was stammering, unsure how to answer. On one side was Sister Xi'er, and on the other was her aunt. She couldn't offend either side, and she wanted to support both.
"Why are you stuttering? Just say what you think, it's that simple," Xiaobai urged.
Robin gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I like pork flavor."
Xiao Bai was overjoyed.
Then Robin added, "I also want to eat black sesame, it's delicious."
Xi'er laughed, she also liked eating black sesame seeds.
"The chocolate flavor is also delicious, as are the peanut and coconut flavors. Look here, there are many sweet flavors."
Xi'er looked at the menu in the small shop.
Robin nodded and said she liked eating these too.
Xiao Bai said, "Then let's buy half sweet and half savory."
Xi'er agreed.
Seeing this, Robin knew he had successfully passed this test, and couldn't help but jump around a couple of times, asking the boss to make them some glutinous rice balls.
The proprietress said with a smile, "Actually, both sweet and savory are delicious. Sweet food makes life sweet and happy, while savory food makes life stable and lively."
The proprietress also gave them two extra glutinous rice balls, saying they were chicken manure vine flavored.
Xiaobai packed the two so-called chicken-dung vine-flavored glutinous rice balls in a separate box and had Robin carry them, saying he would take them back for Liuliu to eat that night.
Although the proprietress explained that the "chicken dung vine smell" was not the smell of chicken dung, but rather a medicinal herb.
But it didn't work. Xiaobai lost her appetite as soon as she heard the name, which shows how important a name is.
We had dinner at Malanhua's house on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We also cooked a big pot of glutinous rice balls to take to Little Red Horse Academy for the children to try.
After dinner, Xiaobai and the others planned to hurry back to Little Red Horse and ask Robin to bring the two glutinous rice balls with the chicken dung vine flavor to Liuliu. Liuliu had already arrived at Little Red Horse and had just called.
Robin quickly went to find the two glutinous rice balls that tasted like chicken manure vine and asked her where her grandma had put them.
"Where did you put what?" Malanhua asked.
"Two chicken-dung-flavored glutinous rice balls, I've given them to you."
"Oh, those two were for Liuliu, right? They're in that little flower bowl. Go take a look."
Robin ran over to take a look and found that there was only one glutinous rice ball left in the little flower bowl.
"Grandma—I only have one glutinous rice ball left! Where's the other one??"
Robin brought his grandmother a small flower bowl and asked her if she had eaten it.
"Only one left? That shouldn't be the case. I put two in there. Who ate them?"
Who ate it?
Malan asked everyone who had eaten the glutinous rice balls in the little flower bowl.
Bai Jianping's expression was unnatural. He noticed that the two glutinous rice balls were served in a separate bowl, which seemed a bit strange. He picked one up and tasted it. It had a medicinal taste and tasted odd.
To my surprise, it smells like chicken poop!
Bai Jianping felt nauseous.
How come I didn't notice the chicken poop smell when I was eating it?!
He's afraid to admit it now, worried that Robin will demand compensation from him.
Seeing that no one admitted to eating it, Robin took the small flower bowl and ran to his aunt to show it to her.
"Auntie, look, there's only one left."
Little White said secretly, "This is made of chicken poop. People actually eat it. I was planning to use it to feed the ants to Little Red Horse."
Bai Jianping finally couldn't hold back any longer. He forced himself to suppress his nausea, picked up his thermos, and took a sip of strong tea to calm his stomach.
He thought he had done it very discreetly, but Xiaobai, who had a sharp eye, still noticed it.
Suddenly, Xiaobai stared at him, secretly smiling.
Bai Jianping tried to appear calm, glanced at her, and then continued watching the news broadcast.
Xiao Bai brought Robin to him and said, "Uncle, why don't you go brush your teeth? They smell like chicken poop."
Robin laughed: "Uncle, so it was you who ate it. We found out!"
Bai Jianping: "..."
Xiao Bai brought a whole thermos of glutinous rice balls to Little Red Horse Academy. Xi'er and Robin also brought a thermos of glutinous rice balls each. It was enough for all sixty children at Little Red Horse Academy to have some.
However, today is the Lantern Festival, so there are not sixty children in the school, only less than forty came.
But Xiaobai was very happy. She just hoped that there would be as few children as possible coming to Little Red Horse tonight. The fewer children there were, the more it meant that these silly kids were spending the Lantern Festival at home with their parents. The Lantern Festival should be a time for family reunion, and she was happy for them.
"Anyone who wants to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls) should hurry up and line up. Mine are savory."
"Mine is sweet."
"I... I smell like chicken poop here."
Everyone lined up in front of Xiaobai and Xier, but no one went to Robin.
Robin stood alone in the cold wind: "Liuliu! Liuliu, come quickly, I made you some tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
Liuliu shook her head: "I don't eat chicken poop-flavored food. You can keep it for yourself, my child."
Robin looked miserable as she saw that her aunt and Xi'er were surrounded by children, but she was all alone. It turned out that her aunt had been lying to her, saying that the children would fight over her chicken-dung-flavored glutinous rice balls.
The reality is that nobody comes to her place.
Xiao Weiwei, Xiao Lizi, Xiao Youyou, Xiao Xiao, and others each held a small plate containing white and tender glutinous rice balls. While eating, they strolled over to Robin, curiously examining her chicken-dung-smelling glutinous rice balls. They chattered about all sorts of things, asking all sorts of questions. It was the first time anyone had ever heard of chicken-dung-smelling glutinous rice balls, and they were very curious about what they would taste like, but no one dared to actually try them.
"Xiaobai, your glutinous rice balls are so delicious, I'm really enjoying them."
Some children ate the glutinous rice balls and immediately expressed their gratitude to Xiaobai.
"I'm also very full. Look at my little tummy, it's bulging. The glutinous rice balls are so delicious!"
"Xi'er, your sweet glutinous rice balls are so sweet, they feel like a baby lying in its mother's arms, so happy."
"The sweetness of the glutinous rice balls warms my heart."
Everyone thanked Xiaobai and Xier for the tangyuan (sweet rice balls). Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and even if they can't reunite with their parents and grandparents, they should still eat tangyuan so that they can definitely be reunited next year.
