Chapter 195 Lillian's Family
After hearing what Ferro said, Lady Lia's curiosity burned like a bonfire. However, she still relied on the good manners she had cultivated over the years to suppress this strong curiosity. She said with a smile, "Ferro, please tell us in detail about these new things you brought back this time."
Ferro cleared his throat and began to talk excitedly: "The first thing I want to tell you about is this food called mooncakes. They are not simple, each mooncake has a unique taste. For example, the classic five-nut filling contains almonds, peach kernels, olive kernels, sesame kernels and melon seeds, etc., with a crispy and delicious taste; there is also a salty and rich ham filling, the meaty aroma and the sweetness of the crust are perfectly blended together; then there is the delicate and smooth lotus seed paste and egg yolk filling, the sweet lotus seed paste is paired with the salty and fresh egg yolk, it is simply a delicacy on earth; of course, there is also the very popular lava custard mooncake, lightly bite it, and the fragrant custard will flow out like lava, which is endless aftertaste; finally, let's talk about the snow skin mooncake, Its crust isn't as thick and greasy as traditional mooncakes; instead, it's soft and refreshing, melting in your mouth for a truly unique flavor. Besides mooncakes, I also brought back rice noodles. These smooth and chewy noodles, paired with a variety of delicious seasonings and broths, will definitely satisfy your taste buds. There's also this fragrant mushroom oil, made from freshly picked wild mushrooms, perfect for cooking a variety of dishes. Oh, and there's also hot pot base. Simply boil it in a pot, add your favorite ingredients, and you'll have a sizzling hot pot feast. Also, I learned some cooking techniques on this trip, and I'm going to show them off tomorrow and prepare a delicious feast for everyone," Ferro said, a proud smile on his face.
"Wow, Ferro, you're amazing!" Lady Leah couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "But where did this girl named Sui Sui come from? Judging from her appearance, she must be a very unique girl."
Ferro nodded slightly, his lips curled up in a gentle smile. His eyes gleamed with an indescribable light, and he slowly spoke, "Sui Sui is indeed a very special girl. She comes from a mysterious place with many amazing cultures and time-honored traditional customs. During the time I spent with her, she unreservedly taught me a lot of knowledge and stories about that magical world. It was like I was in a whole new world, it was eye-opening and I gained a lot."
Lady Leah's curiosity grew stronger, and she couldn't help but ask, "Oh, my dear child, where is this mysterious and admirable woman now? I can't wait to meet her! Such an outstanding person has taught you so much new and interesting knowledge and skills. I must express my gratitude to her in person."
Hearing this, Ferro's face, which had once been filled with a bright smile like the sun, was instantly covered by a thick, dark cloud, a gloomy look gradually emerging. He lowered his head slightly and fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, Ferro slowly raised his head, looked at his mother with a somewhat dim gaze, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Mom, she... Sui Sui has to say goodbye to Ceres temporarily because of some extremely important and urgent matters. And I also have more important responsibilities and missions on my shoulders, so after I come back to celebrate this festival with you and my family, I will immediately set off to return to Ceres to say goodbye to her. But please don't worry, Mom, I firmly believe that this is just a short separation. It won't be long before our family will be reunited again. And by then, I believe you will definitely fall in love with the kind, gentle, lovely and charming girl Sui Sui!" After saying this, Ferro couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, and an invisible force seemed to be transmitted from his palms. At the same time, deep in his heart, he silently made an unwavering vow - no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he encountered on the road ahead, even if it was a storm or a thorny bush, he would do everything he could to overcome the numerous difficulties and successfully return to the beautiful and dreamy Ceres. Only in this way could he return to the woman who had haunted his dreams - Sui Sui, and walk hand in hand with her through countless beautiful times filled with laughter, warmth, sweetness, and romance.
A similar scene unfolded in another family on Haxing. Lillian, exhausted, slowly pushed open the door. The house was completely silent. She called out softly to her parents, but all she heard was an empty echo.
Lillian gently placed the items in her hands on the table, then turned and walked towards her room. As soon as she stepped into the room, the familiar, clean and tidy environment came into view, which made her feel happy.
Lillian walked to the closet, opened the door, and was about to choose a comfortable pair of pajamas to change into when a bright color suddenly caught her eye. A closer look revealed the dress she had loved most as a child. It lay quietly in the corner, as if speaking of fond memories.
Looking at the dress, Lillian's thoughts drifted back to her childhood. Back then, her parents were always by her side, and the family enjoyed every happy moment together. Those heartwarming moments flashed before her eyes like a movie, and tears gradually blurred her eyes, welling up in them.
After a long time, Lillian slowly emerged from the deep and lingering memories. She sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes a little hazy, as if her soul was still stuck in a moment in the past. Finally, she took a deep breath, trying to suppress her chaotic thoughts and gradually calm herself down.
After calming down a bit, Lillian reached for the address book on her computer and, with trembling fingers, dialed her parents' number. At that moment, she longed to hear their familiar, warm voices! However, the monotonous "beep, beep" sounded from the other end of the line, but no one answered. Lillian's heart, which had been settling for a moment, felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, hanging in the air. An indescribable feeling of unease quickly spread through her heart like a tide...
Just as Lillian was feeling extremely anxious, the computer on her wrist suddenly chimed. Lillian was overjoyed and quickly raised her hand to check. It was indeed her mother calling. She couldn't wait to open the communication interface on her computer, and immediately heard her mother's gentle and concerned voice: "Honey, your dad and I are still out. It might take a while before we can be home. You must be exhausted after just getting home. Go get some rest. We'll make you a nice meal when we get back."
After hearing her mother's words, Lillian finally felt relieved. She smiled and said, "I know, Mom. Don't worry too much. Be careful." Then she hung up the phone.
After putting down her laptop, Lillian's tense nerves relaxed completely. She stood up, stretched, and headed for the bathroom. Pushing open the door, a wave of warm air washed over her. Lillian walked to the shower head and flicked the switch. Suddenly, warm water cascaded down like a waterfall, splashing over her fair skin. Feeling the comfort and relaxation brought by the hot water, Lillian closed her eyes, letting the warm current wash over her tired body from head to toe, as if to wash away all her worries...
After her shower, Lilyan exuded a fresh fragrance, her damp hair draped casually over her shoulders. She tiptoed into the bedroom, then, like a tired kitten, slowly climbed onto the bed and burrowed into the soft quilt. Soon, she fell into a sweet dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Lillian slowly awoke and stretched, sleepily. She rubbed her eyes, sat up in bed, yawned, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked towards the door. As she gently pushed it open, an alluring aroma filled her nostrils.
Lillian hurried to the living room and saw a table laden with a sumptuous meal. Although there were only two dishes, each one was vibrant and fragrant. Considering their family's diet, which mostly consisted of nutrient solution, such meticulously prepared dishes were a rare find. These dishes were painstakingly prepared by her parents, who had invested considerable time and effort, and were filled with their deep love and care for her.
Lillian looked at the delicious food before her, her lips curling up involuntarily, revealing a happy smile. Like a cheerful little bird, she flew to her parents, gave each of them a big, warm hug, and kissed them on the cheek. Then, she happily sat down at the table and began to enjoy this loving dinner.
After dinner, Lillian and her parents settled on the sofa, enjoying a leisurely TV viewing. Suddenly, as if struck by something, she ran to the kitchen and retrieved a box of exquisite mooncakes. She happily placed them on the coffee table, opened the box, and handed one to her parents, enthusiastically introducing them to the mooncakes: "Mom and Dad, try this!"
The family sat together, savoring delicious mooncakes while listening to Lillian recount her fascinating stories from Ceres. Everyone burst into laughter as she told the fascinating moments, and the whole house was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. At that moment, family affection, like an invisible bond, bound them together, allowing them to enjoy this wonderful and heartwarming family time together.
