Chapter 194 Tearing a Pomelo Apart
After feeding Liangliang and Yueyue, Su Nuannuan started making lunch for Chen Xiuting.

It was less of a help and more of a command from Su Nuannuan, which Chen Xiuting followed.

Because Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi had bought a lot of ingredients, Chen Xiuting prepared a very lavish meal this time. In addition to the braised shrimp and crab that Su Nuannuan had specifically requested, Chen Xiuting also stewed a peanut, soybean, and pig's trotter dish. The peanut, soybean, and pig's trotter dish was meant to help with lactation and was mainly for Su Mianmian.

Besides these, Chen Xiuting also made dumplings. The dumplings were filled with pork and cabbage.

Chen Xiuting didn't finish preparing lunch until noon.

The neighbors in the residential compound knew they were going to have a big lunch, so they didn't come over to bother them.

Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi also returned early. After they got home, they took off their clothes and went into the kitchen.

After kicking Su Nuannuan and the others out, Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi finished wrapping the remaining dumplings.

At this moment, Su Daliang's three younger brothers also returned with Cheng Junqi and his two younger brothers.

When they returned, they were carrying two pomelos in their hands.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up.

Since arriving on the island, Su Nuannuan hasn't eaten fruit for several days. The smell of fruit is easily noticeable, so Su Nuannuan hasn't eaten any.

Seeing that Su Daliang was carrying two large pomelos, Su Nuannuan immediately stood up.

Her eyes lit up as she looked brightly at Su Daliang and said.

"Brother, where did you get these pomelos?"

Su Daliang could tell from Su Nuannuan's expression that she was craving something sweet.

However, the pomelos in his hand were given to him by someone from his second sister's family, and he couldn't make the decision. Su Daliang was somewhat troubled.

Wenming, who was following behind Su Daliang, heard Su Nuannuan mention pomelo and immediately showed off as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Auntie, this is from Grandma Yu. Please have some."

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan smiled happily.

"Good boy. When your aunt has something good, she'll send it to you too."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Wenming immediately raised his chin high.

Su Daliang looked at the two figures in front of him, one big and one small, and how they decided where Youzi would go in just a few words, and felt somewhat helpless.

He looked at Su Nuannuan and Wenming, whose eyes were fixed on the pomelo, and said.

"Nuannuan, Mingming, this is from Sister Yu for Second Sister. You need Second Sister's permission to eat it."

Besides Su Nuannuan and Wenming, there was also Su Erqiang who was eyeing Youzi covetously. However, on the way, Su Erqiang was hit hard twice by his older brother, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

However, the yearning look in his eyes revealed his curiosity and longing for the pomelo.

As for Su Sanquan, he was only interested in pretty things. Now that he could eat his fill every day, Su Sanquan didn't care much about food.

Cheng Junqi and Cheng Junli, the two little ones, were also curious about the taste of the pomelo. However, having witnessed Su Daliang's punch to Su Erqiang on the way, the two little ones knew they couldn't beat Su Daliang and didn't dare to make a sound.

Now, only Su Nuannuan and Wenming are openly coveting the pomelo.

Just then, Su Mianmian appeared.

The first thing she saw was the two large pomelos in Su Daliang's hand, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Da Liang, where did these pomelos come from?"

Avoiding Su Nuannuan and Wenming's gaze, Su Daliang quickly explained the origin of the pomelo in detail.

Su Mianmian was a quick-witted person. She immediately noticed that Su Nuannuan and Wenming wanted to eat pomelos. Not wanting them to just stare, she took a large knife from the kitchen and began cutting the pomelos.

This was also the first time Su Mianmian had ever seen a pomelo. She had never eaten one before.

When she received one from Su Daliang, she thought it was some kind of melon or fruit. So, she simply cut it in half with a knife.

Seeing the translucent, white flesh peeking out from inside, Su Mianmian was dumbfounded. "What is this thing?"

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan quickly explained.

"Second sister, this is a pomelo. The flesh is distributed somewhat like an enlarged citrus fruit. Pomelos are very juicy and taste very sweet."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's explanation, Su Mianmian immediately calmed down.

Su Nuannuan quickly stopped him from continuing to cut the knife.

She took the knife and said to Su Mianmian.

"Second sister, let me do it."

Su Nuannuan was worried that if her second sister shared the pomelos any more, the flesh inside would be coated with the bitter taste of the peel. For the sake of her own taste buds, Su Nuannuan decided to do it herself.

She gently sliced ​​open the grapefruit peel with the tip of a knife. After cutting through the thick outer skin, Su Nuannuan began to peel it by hand.

Su Nuannuan called Su Daliang to help her peel off the thick yellow outer skin, then removed the white pulp stuck to the inner peel. When it was almost done, Su Nuannuan began to separate the pomelo segment by segment with her hands.

Su Nuannuan then completely separated the round, large pomelo. The white pomelo segments were arranged in a porcelain bowl.

Cheng Junqi and his two little friends witnessed Su Nuannuan tearing the pomelo apart with her bare hands, and they cheered with "Wow!" repeatedly.

Su Nuannuan: ...

After everyone had finished dividing the ingredients, Su Mianmian gave each person a slice, and then took the rest into the room for Chen Xiuting and Su Jinjin to enjoy.

It was everyone's first time eating a pomelo, so they ate it very carefully.

Su Nuannuan finished the pomelo segment in her hand in no time.

After she finished eating, she asked Su Daliang.

"Brother, where did Sister-in-law Yu get her pomelos from?"

Su Daliang thought for a moment and then answered.

"It seems to have been sent by Sister Yu's former neighbor."

Su Nuannuan was somewhat puzzled.

"Neighbor?"

At this moment, Su Sanquan spoke up to explain.

"Sister Yu's husband used to serve in the army in Hai Province. It is said that they were also stationed on a small island. However, there was an endless supply of fruit on that island, and Sister Yu's former neighbors would send some over every year."

After hearing Su Sanquan's explanation, Su Nuannuan was immediately filled with envy.

This was the island life she had imagined. It was nothing like the Dachen Island where her older sisters lived; besides seafood, there was nothing else of value.

After learning about the origin of the pomelo, Su Nuannuan had no more doubts.

After finishing her pomelo, Chen Xiuting invited everyone to eat together.

This meal was the most sumptuous one Su Nuannuan and her companions had eaten since arriving on the island. Each person's bowl was filled to the brim with dumplings.

Everyone ate dumplings, accompanied by a table full of delicious dishes, and was completely satisfied.

Su Nuannuan's favorite dish was still the big bowl of braised shrimp and crab that Chen Xiuting had cooked. Su Nuannuan and Alan hadn't used all the shrimp and crab they'd prepared that morning. Su Nuannuan planned to wait until the afternoon, coat them in flour, and deep-fry them all.

During the meal, everyone tacitly left the peanut, soybean, and pig's trotter soup for Su Mianmian.

Although Su Mianmian has now recovered from the physical depletion she experienced during her pregnancy, she still cannot breastfeed Liangliang and Yueyue.

Su Mianmian was also helpless about this.

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan had sent a lot of formula beforehand. In addition, her parents-in-law had also sent a lot of formula last month, so Liangliang and Yueyue had enough to eat.
