After the Bermuda Battle, Belron Elder's parents were rescued and quickly brought to Penglai Immortal Island, where Belron was reunited with his old friend Belzon.
As soon as they met, Belron stepped forward to hug Belzon, patting him on the back and saying, "You really are cunning; you secretly built your own base here on Penglai Immortal Island. I'm truly impressed."
Belzon sighed and said, "In this world, one cannot act freely. Without this Penglai Immortal Island, you and I would be wandering everywhere. We don't have the strength to build a giant mobile planet like Capricorn Planet; we can only rely on Earth's geographical environment to establish our own place... Come on, you two, don’t just stand there. Sit down."
Belron Couple sat in chairs, savoring the Fruit Tea served by the servants. Belron took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "Hmm, good tea! It has a lingering fragrance and is refreshing. This Fruit Tea is quite similar to the one at Dragonfall Lodge. How did you get these Kiwi leaves?"
"I grew them myself," Belzon replied. "The geographical environment here is even better than that of Dragonfall Lodge on Mars; it's very suitable for Kiwi growth. From now on, if you want Fruit Tea, just come here. I guarantee your supply."
Belron squinted his eyes and said, "How can I just eat your food?"
"The tea leaves I gave you have a purpose; I want to eat the dumplings you make. When will your dumpling shop open?"
"We'll take a two-day break to prepare the dumpling ingredients, then choose an auspicious day to open the dumpling shop. You're welcome to come every day."
At that moment, Li Girl walked in happily and told everyone, "Our Fennel Dumpling Shop is all set; we just need you three elders to cut the ribbon!"
Upon hearing his daughter say this, Belron asked, "Isn't your action too fast? I just told Great-Great-Grandfather that our dumpling shop wouldn't open until two days later."
Li Girl leaned down to her parents and said, "Everyone can't wait; they all want to taste the dumplings you make. So many villagers came to help out that they tidied up the shop perfectly. Everything is ready; we’re just waiting for you!"
The three elders rode in Belzon's carriage and arrived in front of Fennel Dumpling Shop. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a crowd gathered at the entrance, decorated festively with lights and banners. As soon as the three elders arrived, the band began to play, and the officiant Belden shouted loudly, "Let us warmly welcome the three elders to cut the ribbon for Fennel Dumpling Shop!"
Amidst everyone's enthusiastic applause, the three elders approached the flower-adorned red ribbon and picked up scissors to cut it. After Belzun the Elder gave a speech, it was Belron's turn to say a few words. Overjoyed, Belron didn't know what to say and kept bowing repeatedly: "Thank you all! Thank you!"
Lily quickly jumped to the front to diffuse the situation, shouting, "Everyone, stop standing at the door! Come in and eat dumplings; today is free for the grand opening!"
The crowd rushed into the dumpling shop, and bowls of steaming dumplings were served. Everyone could finally enjoy the fennel dumplings again.
At this moment, the Belron Couple felt a bit puzzled. They knew that it was impossible for their daughter to make so many dumplings by herself, so who was helping her?
When they entered the kitchen of the dumpling shop, they saw Kairuot, Fairleya, and Belden all busy making dumplings. Li Girl, Bel Purewood, Long Er, and other relatives and friends had also come to help, making the dumpling shop livelier than ever.
The two elderly people completely lost their desire to rest and insisted on joining the dumpling-making team immediately.
However, upon seeing the two elders, Fairleya and Belden hurried to the dining area and brought each of them a bowl of dumplings.
The two elders awkwardly picked up their bowls and began eating dumplings that they hadn't had in a long time, tears streaming down their faces. Lady Li's Mother couldn't help but say, "For a long time, I've often dreamed of eating fennel dumplings. Today I finally get to eat them... sigh, life is like a dream."
Li Girl teased her mother, "Mom, you too! Just eating a dumpling brings up so many emotions. From now on, if you want to eat them, there will be plenty every day."
At this moment, Kairuot chimed in, "Auntie is right; life is like a dream. Life is like these dumplings; it has all kinds of flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy."
Belden heard Kairuot's words and retorted, "You're talking nonsense again. Is there any bitterness in these fennel dumplings?"
Li Girl replied, "Brother Kairuot is right; our fennel dumplings do have a bitter taste—it's from the coriander. It has a strong unique aroma but tastes slightly bitter."
Fairleya joked, "If what you say is true, then eating these fennel dumplings will let me experience all the flavors of life. I need to eat a few more dumplings later to savor life's sourness, sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness."
This made Lady Li's Mother laugh. She said, "Seeing you all so close like sisters makes me really envious. I wish you could always be together." At this point, Li Girl's mother suddenly seemed to remember something. Looking at Fairleya and then pointing at Kairuot she asked, "Have you married him?"
The question made Fairleya blush, and she was momentarily speechless.
Li Girl glared and said, "Mom! This is a matter for the girl herself, you don't need to worry about it."
"If she isn't married, I'll take care of it here."
Upon hearing this, Li Girl pouted and looked displeased.
Belron tried to mediate: "From now on, you two come here every day to make dumplings, and I'll waive your meal fees."
"Old man really knows how to calculate," Li Girl said. "Your two meals will cover their wages; do you really think they are cheap labor?"
Kairuot couldn't help but laugh: "Even if Uncle doesn't feed me, I'll still come to help every day."
Belden, never one to miss an opportunity for a jab, teased, "Are you at a loss? Li Girl is beautiful and lovely; how could you bear to lose out?"
This made Li Girl's face turn red and pale in turns as she murmured, "Belle, you just love to tease people."
Xiaoli's mother shook her head and sighed, "My girl isn't small anymore; it's time for her to get married..."
Amidst such cheerful banter, the first day of the reopening of Fennel Dumpling Shop became an unforgettable day.
