“Mother, I really want to help you.” Chu Ziluo pouted.
“Then go home and help Mother pick vegetables. Tonight, we’ll make pickled cabbage pancakes and cucumber-stewed pork ribs.” Seeing that she was in good spirits, Ye Muyu thought about it and found a job for her.
“Sure. When my brother comes back, he’ll definitely like it. He loves pancakes the most,” Chu Ziluo said happily.
After returning home…
It was still early, so Ye Muyu took a nap as usual. However, she came back a little late today, so she only slept for an hour.
Ye Muyu got up.
When she walked out of the door, she saw Madam Hu standing at the entrance of the courtyard, talking to someone. The courtyard had been cleaned up, and there was only a sieve on the bench, with pumpkin seeds on it.
The sun was now in the west, so it was not very hot.
Ye Muyu came out. Madam Hu heard the sound and turned around to see her, so she quickly went up to her.
She whispered, “Madam, it’s the Fifth Old Madam. She came over to ask this servant to go up the mountain to pick peaches. The peaches on the mountain are ripe. I heard that a lot of peaches have been picked by passersby recently. The Fifth Old Madam thought that they were ripe, so she asked this servant to pick some for you all to eat.”
“Fifth Aunt is here?” Ye Muyu knew that there were some hills in Xingshui Village with fruit trees on them. These hills were all owned by the villagers. Basically, every household had a firewood mountain.
It was also the hillside where the medicinal herbs grew previously.
Outside the village was the main road, and people would often pass by. It was normal for them to pick a few peaches.
However, it was not strange that Fifth Aunt’s heart ached. After all, the peach trees also needed to be fertilized by their own families. How could they watch others pick the fruits on their trees?
As for the few that were plucked from time to time, they would not be too calculative.
“Fifth Old Madam went back after saying that. Presumably, she wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to finish plucking first,” Madam Hu said.
“Since Fifth Aunt has come to tell me, you can take a basket first.” Ye Muyu nodded.
“Madam, do you want to personally pluck it?” Madam Hu asked.
“Yes, I’m going out for a walk. The village school is about to end.” Ye Muyu nodded. She planned to bring Chu Jin out for a walk.
The village school usually ended at 3:00 pm, and it was about time now.
“Alright, this servant will go and prepare.” Madam Hu went down to get a basket, gloves, and a pair of shoes.
Ye Muyu turned around and entered Ziluo’s room.
Chu Ziluo had also woken up. When she saw Ye Muyu enter, her eyes lit up. She was filled with adoration for her. “Mother, you’re up? I’ll put on my shoes and go out to pick vegetables.”
Her movements were very fast. After saying this, she put on her shoes in two or three breaths.
“Let’s go out and pick the peaches first. There’s no hurry to pick the vegetables.” Ye Muyu took a comb from the dressing table and started combing her hair.
Seeing the gentleness in her mother’s eyes, Chu Ziluo pursed her lips into a smile and obediently let Ye Muyu comb her hair.
She thought, ‘Mother combed my hair, I’m so happy.’
“Mother, we don’t have peaches at home. Where can we pick them?” Chu Ziluo asked in confusion.
“It’s your Fifth Grandaunt’s house.”
“Later, send some milk to your Fifth Grandaunt’s house,” Ye Muyu said.
Chu Ziluo was also very fond of Madam ()äan. When she heard that they could go and pick peaches, she smiled and said, “Mother, Fifth Grandaunt has a lot of peaches. There are peach trees on her mountain. I ate a lot of them last year.
They were all given to me by Fifth Grandaunt”
“I heard from Uncle Xing that he sells them in the county every year. He can even earn a sum of money. Uncle Xing is really amazing. When I was young, I saw the peach trees he planted with my own eyes..”
