After sleeping for about an hour and a half, Gu Wancheng was woken up by the noise next to her.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a sheep.
Hmm? A sheep!
Gu Wancheng suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, looked at the raised buttocks on the ground, and called out, " Chaochao!"
Chaochao quickly scrambled to her feet, looking at him with an innocent expression, "What's wrong?"
Gu Wancheng's brow twitched, and she pointed at the sheep, asking, "Where did it come from?"
Chaochao happily hugged the lamb, "Sister Zhuoma brought it over, afraid we'd be bored, so we all got one!"
Gu Wancheng sighed and smiled wryly. It was someone's kind offer, and she couldn't refuse, but raising a pet was really troublesome.
Exhausted, Gu Wancheng waved her hand and pointed to the door, "Alright, go out and have some fun."
Chaochao puffed out her cheeks and led the lambs outside. Gu Wancheng then got out of bed, tidied herself up, and went outside to see several lambs surrounding Chaochao and the others.
Seeing how much fun they were having, Gu Wancheng felt happy.
Zhao Chengyu stood beside him with a water bottle, noticing him gazing ahead. "Should we build a shed? We can't let them sleep with us, can we?"
Gu Wancheng nodded, "Okay, but how should we build the shed?"
Zhao Chengyu fell silent. "... Search it on your phone."
Gu Wancheng's eyes lit up as she looked at Bo Yizhou who was walking over, and floated over to him. "How about we build a tent?"
Bo Yizhou didn't ask him why he wanted to build a shed; he simply agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Gu Wancheng was delighted. "Then let's search it up and see how to match it."
Jian Yue held up his phone. "No need, I've already found it." He had immediately taken out his phone to search after hearing their words, because he really didn't want to sleep with any small animals.
Chu Yi'an frowned and asked, "Do we have any wood or anything else?"
The group paused for a moment, then said, "Why don't we ask Brother Tubu?"
Okay, I agree.
The group retrieved some wood chips and waterproof tarpaulins from Tubu, mainly out of concern for rain, even though the weather forecast said there would be no rain, just in case.
The shed doesn't need to be too big, since the sheep are all so small.
"Dad, what are you doing? Do you need our help?" Just as they started to get started, Chaochao and the others came over with the lamb. While they weren't looking, the lamb quietly nibbled on a piece of wood on the ground.
Gu Wancheng tapped his forehead. "You're building a shed for your lambs? Are you going to sleep with them?"
Chaochao asked, "Is that not allowed?"
"If you want to sleep with him, then you can't sleep at home anymore; you'll have to live with the lambs from now on."
Upon hearing this, Chaochao shook her head frantically, "I don't want to! I want to sleep in the bed! I don't want to sleep on the floor!"
Gu Wancheng continued, "If you don't want to sleep on the floor, don't sleep with the lambs. Don't let me catch you sneaking onto the bed."
"No way! I would never do it secretly!"
"Alright, I know, go play somewhere else." Gu Wancheng raised her hand and pushed him. He was busy and didn't have time to argue with him.
The group didn't plan to build a complicated tent. They picked the simplest one on their phones and followed the video step by step. It was set up in just over ten minutes, with only a minor disagreement about the height.
After the shed was set up, Gu Wancheng glanced at its shaky appearance and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. If it collapsed, those sheep would run away.
Chu Yi'an stepped forward and shook it a few times. There was only a slight tremor. He nodded. "It's alright, nothing serious."
Gu Wancheng: "Don't say that last sentence."
Chu Yi'an looked puzzled. Gu Wancheng said, "It seems to me that it has no major problems, but constant minor ones."
[That's hilarious, I was just thinking the same thing.]
As a perfectionist, this statement makes me uncomfortable.
It's just a minor issue, nothing serious.
Chu Yi'an paused for a moment, then nodded. "No problem."
Xu Xiashi covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, "Hehe, Wancheng is still so funny. Yi'an, you need to be more humorous. You're only nineteen years old, but you're already so mature."
Chu Yi'an sighed inwardly. He just didn't like talking much; after all, talking was quite tiring.
Bo Yizhou carefully tidied up the nails and said, "Alright, since there are no problems, let's leave it like this for now. We'll see if there are any modifications needed later."
After putting their things away, the group sat on the recliners. After a while, Chu Yi'an asked, "Would you like some milk tea?"
Gu Wancheng's eyes lit up, and she nudged Bo Yizhou, "I want milk tea."
"Okay, then let's make some."
They still had milk here, and the kids preferred sweet drinks, so they decided to make sweet milk tea.
The materials were obtained in exchange for them signing an unreasonable agreement with Chen Liqing.
The agreement states that I need to help the herders milk cows tomorrow, for a whole day!
Therefore, they cherished this meal. To avoid making it monotonous, Chu Yi'an and Bo Yizhou specially made taro balls, but they were too big. Fortunately, Gu Wancheng saw them before they made many.
She quickly stopped them, saying, "A few taro balls should be enough to fill you up. Don't roll them so big, or you won't need dinner tonight; you can get full just from eating taro balls."
After saying that, he separated the rolled taro balls, rolled them again, and placed one in front of them, saying, "It should be about this size, don't roll it too big."
Bo Yizhou gave a soft "hmm" and focused intently on kneading the taro balls.
I made two shapes of taro balls: one was cut into small pieces, and the other was rolled into balls. The round ones looked nicer.
The tea leaves were brought from home by Gu Wancheng; they were very expensive, and using them to make milk tea was an extraordinary luxury.
The milk tea is caramel milk tea, reasonably priced, with a fragrant tea aroma that blends with sweet milk and topped with yellow and purple taro balls. It has a silky smooth texture and a rich milky flavor; every sip feels like drinking money.
Gu Wancheng instantly came to life; she could finally drink milk tea again after so long. (Touched moment)
Gu Wancheng took another sip, then turned to Bo Yizhou and asked, "How much tea is left?"
Bo Yizhou swallowed the taro balls and replied, "There's still enough for you to drink for a while."
Gu Wancheng glanced at the cup in his hand—milk tea with absolutely no sweetness. She really didn't know how he could drink it.
Seeing that his gaze lingered on his hand, Bo Yizhou raised his hand and placed the cup in front of him. "Would you like to try some?"
Gu Wancheng shook his head; he wouldn't drink it.
So Bo Yizhou took the cup back, and Gu Wancheng quickly took a sip of the sweet milk tea, happily squinting her eyes.
