Chapter 61 Aunt Ye Returns to Her Parents' Home

As the morning mist dissipated, Ye Ma sharpened her knife and prepared to catch the soft-shelled turtle.

After being raised for so many days, the turtle is still very energetic and swims happily in the water tank.

Learning from the experience of her son being bitten last time, Ye's mother avoided the turtle's head and cut it with a knife. The turtle rose into the sky.

Ye Zhen had already thought of the menu. The turtle was quite big, and he had no idea how the two fat cats at home caught it.

Ye Zhen just walked out of the room, ready to give theoretical instructions on how to cook soft-shelled turtle.

Passing by the yard, I saw Grandma Ye squatting next to the manhole cover. Seeing Ye Zhen coming over, she waved at him stealthily:

"Ye Zi, come and take a look!"

For a moment, Ye Zhen thought Grandma Ye was hiding something.

When she walked in, she saw a fish on the ground!

The tail is long and slender, and the thin fins sparkle colorfully in the sun. The body is plump and smooth, and the scales are fine silvery-white.

The head is flat, the dead fish's eyes are wide open, the fish is dead, and there are scratches on the body, which are thin and deep.

When Ye Zhen saw the claw marks, he knew that it was caused by the cat at home again.

She was wondering where the fish was caught.

She had never seen this kind of fish!

This cat is great!

"This fish was already lying here when I just came out. I don't know where the cat got it from. This fish looks pretty good, but I don't know what kind of fish it is!"

Ever since the two cats learned to catch turtles last time, Grandma Ye has been staring at the two cats every day, wanting to see how they do it. They are better than those people in the village who bring tools to catch turtles. They can catch two with just their two cat claws.

But after Grandma Ye followed them for a few days, she found that the two cats were either lazily catching butterflies and playing with birds, or going into the fields and climbing on the grape trellises. They were really not doing their jobs!

Grandma Ye’s desire to know was wiped out. She didn’t expect that she would get such a big surprise today.

Did the cat know that today is a holiday and specially bring extra food to the house?

"I've never seen this kind of fish before." When Ye's mother heard the sound, she poked her head out of the kitchen and saw what was on the ground at a glance.

I walked in and took a closer look, and I really had never seen it before.

"Is this fish edible?" Ye's mother pulled the fish's gills suspiciously. The meat looked quite tender.

"Where did this fish come from?" The old man asked.

I have been feeling much better recently. I got up early in the morning, thinking about the festival. Aunt Ye would go back to her parents' home for lunch, so Grandpa Ye strolled to the village to buy some tofu and river shrimps.

His daughter loves to eat it!

Grandpa Ye put down the things in his hands, looked at the fish on the ground with surprise, and nodded secretly: Yes, this is it!

Ye Zhen was puzzled and asked: "Master, have you seen this fish?"

"You don't know this, do you? When I was young, I worked as a farmhand for a famous wealthy family in town. When the eldest master of the family celebrated his birthday, this dish was on the table, and they specially invited a famous chef in the city to prepare it."

Grandpa Ye looked like he was reminiscing, and continued, "Well...what was the dish called at that time?"

It’s been so long since I last saw it, I forgot what the fish was called. “I only know that this fish is very expensive. There were only a few tables there, so the rest of the people could only look at it.”

"But today we are in for a treat!"

As long as it’s edible, she said, the fish looks delicious.

Ye Zhen arranged it neatly, let's steam the fish! Simply put some ginger slices in the pot and steam it, then drizzle a little hot oil and sprinkle some chopped green onions to ensure the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent, so that everyone can taste what makes this fish so precious!

…

Time flies fast. Here, daughters have to go back to their parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. Grandma Ye's home is in another village, not far away. Now that the family has a car, it is convenient to go back and forth. Mother Ye plans to go there in the afternoon and come back after dinner.

Here, Aunt Ye came with her husband carrying a lot of bags.

Grandma Ye had already prepared some tea. When she saw her daughter, she was filled with joy:

"Xiuying is back!"

Ye Xiuying hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. Seeing that her parents were in good health, she went up to them and took Grandma Ye back to the house.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law!" He greeted Ye's mother and father when he saw them.

Aunt Ye saw that the yard was tidy. Grandpa Ye was sitting on a chair under the grape trellis. She looked him up and down. He was dressed neatly, had a ruddy complexion, and his hair was still black and shiny, with fewer white hairs. His eyes were full of joy and satisfaction.

It seems that her parents are in good health and living a good life. When she saw Ye Zhen, she smiled immediately:

"Ye Zi is back. She's getting prettier and prettier. She looks stylish and energetic. By the way, didn't your mom say you were working? Why didn't you go to work?"

Here they come, the inquiries from the aunts and uncles are coming.

Before Ye Zhen could answer, Ye's mother took the things from Aunt Ye's hand with a smile, "Come if you want to. Why do you bring so many things? We already have them at home."

As Mother Ye spoke, she enthusiastically served tea to Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye, asked them to sit down, placed some snacks on the table, and sat down beside them.

"Her aunt, Ye Zi, no longer works in Jincheng. She has returned home to do agricultural planting."

"Look, a while ago, my family was selling vegetables, and you know how much they cost, not five times more than the market price!"

Mother Ye extended her finger exaggeratedly, "You are in for a treat today. We just sold out a crop a few days ago, and there are still some growing. Come and try some vegetables grown from Ye's leaves today."

This statement contained a lot of information. Aunt Ye stood there for a long time to digest it, and then she came to the point -

How long has it taken to earn hundreds of thousands?

She hastily put down the teacup in her hand, not even noticing that the tea splashed on the back of her hand, and asked quickly:

"Second sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Ye's mother still didn't understand, "Yes! Did you see the two cars in the yard? Those were bought by Ye."

Grandpa Ye didn't say anything, but took out the snacks that Ye Zhen had bought for him, picked the last few bayberries from the tree, washed them and put them on the table, and pushed them to Aunt Ye and her husband. Before they were shocked by the size of the bayberries, Aunt Ye couldn't wait to speak:

"What's this? Why is it so valuable?"

Before Ye Ma could speak, Aunt Ye poked Uncle Ye with her elbow and started to speak:

"Your uncle only gets this much salary after working for a year. He works so hard every day, but it's not any easier than farming."

Mother Ye actively explained the doubts. She had a good relationship with her sister-in-law and did not hide anything from her. She immediately said:

"I've planted some vegetables and fruits. They're of good quality and expensive, and they taste great. You can try them later. I guarantee you'll like them."

Aunt Ye raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll wait and eat."
