Chapter 63: Autumn Pear Paste

Chapter 63

The journey did not last long, because the little one at home could not be coaxed.

Tiantian had tears brimming in her eyes as she sobbed on the screen.

Ding Sha was extremely distressed and could not coax her well after trying for a long time.

Xiao Jun simply bought return tickets. Although it was a trip for two, the baby at home was also their heart.

Moreover, the purpose of this trip was also achieved.

Ding Sha looked more generous and dazzling, smiled more, talked more, and became more naughty.

On the way back, Ding Sha was still a little reluctant. "I still want to eat shaved ice! The shaved ice in that store tasted particularly good..."

Xiao Jun pinched her nose and said, "We'll come back to eat it next time."

So Ding Sha became happy again.

When they returned home, the little one was still sleeping. Ding Sha distributed the specialties and gifts she had bought to everyone, then lay down next to Little Ping An and waited for him to wake up.

After about ten minutes, Ping An's nose wrinkled, he kicked his legs, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he slowly opened his confused eyes.

He turned his head to see the smiling Ding Sha and was stunned for a moment before reacting that his mother had returned.

Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes. He looked at Ding Sha as if he wanted to cry but not cry, reaching out and calling for a hug.

Ding Sha hurriedly and distressedly picked him up and hugged him, coaxed and kissed him, "Good baby, mom is here, don't cry, don't cry..."

Little Ping An hugged Ding Sha's neck and refused to let go. He clung on tightly, and even refused to let go when eating. He was afraid that if he let go, his mother would disappear again.

At night, he was drowsy but still held on to Ding Sha's fingers. Zhao Auntie came to take the child, but he cried loudly as soon as she touched him, and could not be coaxed to close his eyes no matter what.

Ding Sha kissed him and said, "Let him sleep with me tonight."

Zhao Auntie said, "That’s good too. The little one is attached to his mom and only feels safe by his mom's side."

Seeing Zhao Auntie leave, Little Ping An crawled to Ding Sha's side, hugged her arm, curled up nicely in Ding Sha's arms, and made two sounds before slowly closing his eyes.

Ding Sha gently hugged Little Ping An, reaching out to gently pat his back to coax him to sleep.

Xiao Jun came out after taking a bath and saw Ping An. "Still unwilling to leave?"

"Well, let him sleep with us. I miss him too." Ding Sha said softly.

Xiao Jun turned off the lights and got into bed, leaned over and kissed his precious son as well, "Sleep, you guys had a tiring day today."

"Mm." Ding Sha responded and slowly closed her eyes.

Xiao Jun also lay down. Little Ping An stretched out his legs and unconsciously touched Xiao Jun with his hand, falling asleep with soft snores.

The family of three slept very soundly and didn’t get up until noon. When Ding Sha carried Ping An out, Si Le was already sitting there teaching Little Shitou to recognize characters and numbers.

Seeing Ding Sha return, Si Le smiled brightly with his mouthful of white teeth. “Mistress!”

Ding Sha went over and rubbed his round head. “Here already? Had your meal?”

“Yes!” Si Le said with a smile.

Little Shitou also slowly called out, "Mistress!"

Ding Sha laughed. "Hey! Little Shitou is so good!"

"Brother!" Little Shitou clung to the table looking at Ping An in Ding Sha's arms.

Ping An was also curiously biting his fingers looking at Shitou.

"He's your brother. Come on, say hi," Ding Sha squatted halfway down and held Ping An's hand greeting Shitou. "Hello Stone Brother, I’m Little Ping An~"

Little Ping An turned his head and buried it on Ding Sha's shoulder, but secretly looked at Little Shitou.

Little Shitou reacted blankly for a moment. "Oh, hello brother!"

As he spoke, he wanted to stand on the stool. Si Le hurriedly hugged him so he could see Little Ping An.

After the two little ones completed their friendly exchange, Ding Sha carried Ping An out. They only took two steps outside the front door.

But it was soon time for lunch. In between, there were constant customers coming in. Xiao Jun and Wang Wenhao took turns cooking while the customers laughed and greeted Ding Sha.

Du Rourou bit her chopsticks. “Sis, you’ve changed so much!”

"Really?" Ding Sha smiled. “Is that good?”

"Good!" Du Rourou nodded.

So Ding Sha began to enthusiastically promote Chengdu to Du Rourou, promote the food, and promote the attitude towards life.

In the end, the two girls made an appointment to go to Chengdu together next time.

Wang Wenhao took off his apron. “Sis, I’m asking for leave.”

"My grandma passed away."

"Ah?" Ding Sha was stunned for a moment.

"My grandma is gone. My dad asked me to go back." Wang Wenhao wiped his face.

“If there's anything you need from us, just speak up directly." Ding Sha nodded and said.

Wang Wenhao didn't say much, just nodded and left.

Du Rourou still couldn’t react. “How...how so suddenly...”

"Sigh..." Ding Sha shook her head and sighed.

She looked at the baby in her arms.

People come and people go, this is probably life.

A week later, Wang Wenhao came back.

"How is it?" Ding Sha asked with concern.

Wang Wenhao was expressionless. “It’s done. My grandma passed away in her sleep. Her expression was very serene. I guess you could say she died a natural death."

“I feel like she went to my grandfather. Shortly before my grandfather passed, I heard her whisper to my grandfather to wait for her because she wanted to taste the food my grandfather loved to eat.”

“I thought she wanted to tell my grandfather how it tasted after eating those foods.”

Wang Wenhao even smiled. “Old folks always had good feelings for each other. Even when they clamored and yelled, they wouldn’t stay mad until the next day.”

Ding Sha was silent for a moment. “She probably missed your grandfather too much.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought too.” Wang Wenhao said.

Life continued on steadily.

Autumn passed in the blink of an eye. Ding Sha put on a thick coat and wondered, “Why do I feel like autumn barely happened before it was gone?”

“Do we even really have autumn??”

Xiao Jun laughed. “Although it was short you can’t deny its existence.”

Ding Sha pouted her lips. “Fine, I’ll admit it existed.”

With that said, she went out to buy pears because she wanted to make autumn pear paste.

Recently, everyone in the store had varying degrees of cough symptoms.

Although it couldn't be said to be serious, coughing was still a little uncomfortable.

Medicine is only good in moderation so she simply decided to make some autumn pear paste and drink it every day.

She brought along Du Rourou and the two girls carried back two large bags of pears from the market.

Du Rourou set up the camera, not wasting any chances to capture footage.

Making autumn pear paste wasn't difficult, just time consuming.

Luckily Ding Sha was a very patient person. She did it step by step steadily while chatting with Du Rourou about the background information these past few days.

“The Rice Fragrant report said that the sales data was very good and they hoped there could be further cooperation.”

“Further cooperate on what?” Ding Sha blinked. “I don’t really have many other pickle recipes I can contribute.”

“No no, Rice Fragrant has more than just pickles! They have other things too!”

As Du Rourou spoke, she took out her phone and tapped a few times to show Ding Sha.

“Their family also has an instant food product line, it’s just not well known because the sales volume is not good. They said they wanted to talk to you about this instant food product line.”

“Instant food products?”
