"Duo Er, what are you laughing about?" Ye Ling looked at her dumbfoundedly.

Hadn't he just said he was giving her a spice bag? What was so funny about that?

Liu Duo stretched out her hand and lightly rubbed his face. She said with a smile, "I am laughing at how cute Ling is and how incredibly much I like him."

"I also like Duo Er a lot." Ye Ling replied softly, his face a bit red.

Liu Duo smiled and became even happier when she heard him.

She felt that Ye Ling had changed a lot recently. He would say such things to her from time to time.

Nightfall came later during the summer, so it hadn't even turned dark when they finished dinner. Liu Duo went out for a walk to aid her digestion.

"Yang, Ling, let's go out together for a walk. We'll wash up later." Liu Duo said to the two of them.

Before Ye Yang and Ye Ling could respond, two other people immediately said, "Little Duo, why are you leaving us out? We also want to go."

"Beloved, I also want to go with you."

Ye Liu and Ye Mo felt jealous. Why hadn't she asked them to go for a walk?

Liu Duo, however, just rolled her eyes in response to what they said. As if to say, "I didn't ask you two to go, because I don't want you guys to go. Don't you understand?"

"The two of you stay home and sort out the ingredients we will be using. That way, we won't be rushing tomorrow." Liu Duo said to the two of them.

When Ye Ling heard this, he said, "Duo Er, why don't I stay home and sort out the ingredients instead. I know which ingredients I need to use better."

He was pretty much in charge of cooking in the house, and tomorrow would be, of course, no exception. That was why he knew best how the ingredients should be organized and how they should be cut.

At this time, the wooden Ye Yang made a sound and said, "I will stay at home to help."

He figured that with one more person helping, they would be able to quickly finish sorting them out.

Since Ye Liu and Ye Mo wanted to go, he would let the two of them accompany Liu Duo instead.

When Liu Duo heard him, she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's all just stay at home and sort the ingredients!"

These two naive idiots. She just wanted to go out with the two of them. Why couldn't they cooperate!

They were completely unlike Ye Liu and Ye Mo. Those two were shameless and crafty. They would stick to her whenever they saw an opportunity, and they loved to take advantage of her.

Ye Liu saw the look of unwillingness on Liu Duo's face, and her pouting lips, and he laughed, "Yang, Ling, since Little Duo asked the two of you to go out for a walk, you guys should go! Mo and I will sort out the ingredients we need to use tomorrow."

Ye Mo cooperated with what Ye Liu said and said, "Yeah, you guys go accompany our beloved. Liu and I will go another time."

Of course, it wasn't really necessary for them to go with her. It was just that Liu Duo was being very obvious in her discrimination against the two of them, so they were just trying to make their presence felt!

"Forget it. It will be faster if we do it together." Liu Duo knew it was 'her' birthday the next day, and Ye Yang and Ye Ling wanted to do their best at preparing the food.

In the end, they gathered the ingredients they needed to use the next day, and the entire family sorted them in the yard.

The sky slowly turned dark, and they were about to finish sorting the vegetables. Having everyone work together really made a big difference!

"That's enough. We will do the rest tomorrow. It's about time to wash up and head to bed." Liu Duo got up and carried the ingredients they had finished preparing into the kitchen to store them properly. They just needed to be rinsed before being used the next day.

Ye Liu fetched the water for washing up and asked her to wash up.

After Liu Duo got a clean shirt (the one that had been modified) and a pair of shorts, she unabashedly went to wash up at the specially designated room at the back of the yard.

When Liu Duo finished washing up, the four brothers were still busy working.

"You guys should stop working. Go and wash up first. Just finish doing them tomorrow. It's not like we absolutely have to finish doing all the work tonight." Liu Duo said to them.

She never would've thought they would buy so much food. It was as if they were preparing for a gigantic celebration.
