The three Little Beans sipped their sugar water in tiny gulps. Although it wasn't as sweet as before, to them, this sugar water was the sweetest they had ever tasted, a sweetness they would nearly never forget for their entire lives.
Jinhua was sensible and stopped drinking her share halfway. She quietly picked up Little Jinshao who was scampering around the yard and gave him the rest of her half bowl of sugar water.
Little Jinshao had never tasted sugar water before. After trying a sip, he almost buried his face in the bowl, not only gulped down the rest in one breath, but also stuck out his little tongue to lick the bowl clean. Lastly, he lingered, reluctantly licking the corners of his mouth, not willing to let go of the last trace of sweetness.
After finishing the sugar water, the four Little Beans looked at the smiling Ming Zhu and felt that their old cousin looked pleasant no matter how they looked at her today.
