Although the Xu family used plenty of ingredients to make the five-nut dish this time, and even innovatively added some nuts, and removed the red and green skins that Xu Qingzhi found unpalatable, Xu Qingzhi still didn't like it and waved her hand to let her brother take it all away.
Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang were also tired of it. It would be strange if they didn't get sick of it after eating two or three mooncakes a day.
Wang Yanmei put all the ten mooncakes in a plastic bag for him. The packaging box took up space, so it would be more convenient to just put them in the plastic bag and put them in his schoolbag.
There were a lot of salted duck eggs at home, and Xu Zijun packed more than 50 of them. One plastic bag couldn't hold them all, so she used two plastic bags to pack them all. She even took away the remaining half of the half-eaten salted duck eggs in the can.
If it weren't for the weight of the homework books I brought back, these would be too heavy...
The combined weight was already Xu Zijun's limit, and his shoulders felt heavy. He felt he could carry a few more.
At home, it was Wang Yanmei who arranged for him to take food with him. Xu Fuqiang was ready to drive anyone away at any time. Xu Qingzhi was sitting leisurely in a rocking chair, drinking tea contentedly.
Even though the weather is so hot, she still likes to drink chrysanthemum tea brewed with hot water.
The chrysanthemums in the space grew well, and the little paper man processed them into jars of dried chrysanthemums. She put a jar outside, and added another jar when she finished drinking it. There was never a shortage of dried chrysanthemums.
When Xu Qingzhi saw his brother preparing to get on the bus with his schoolbag on his back, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just like Master Roshi, the schoolbag made his tall stature look a little shorter.
She said, "These are too heavy. Just pack less. There are plenty of salted duck eggs at home. You can eat them when you want to come back."
Xu Zijun: "I'll bring it to Lin Kai and the others to try."
Xu Qingzhi waved his hand helplessly.
"Let's go, sister." Xu Zijun shouted and got into the car.
The car drove away, turned onto the main road and soon disappeared.
Wang Yanmei stood at the edge of the yard, straightened her body, and stared at the car until its shadow disappeared from view. She still stood there watching.
Every time, her parents and brother would send her off together. She would get in the car and it would drive away. She would never look back, never.
Especially as people grow older, they feel that they are no longer children and can no longer be attached to home.
But if she had looked back at that time, she would probably have seen that even though her parents couldn't see her, they would wait until the car completely left before turning around.
Wang Yanmei turned around with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingzhi asked.
Wang Yanmei shook her head and sighed, "I just feel that your brother has grown up. When he goes to college, he will only come back once a semester. If he goes to work and lives far away, I'm afraid he will only come back once a year during the Chinese New Year."
When people are young, they always have unstoppable ideas.
But when you reach your parents’ age, you will always have some inexplicable sighs.
Xu Qingzhi understood. She slowly put the teacup aside and said slowly, "It's okay. Our farm can make money. When the time comes, let my brother work for me and I will pay him a salary."
"That won't work." Wang Yanmei refused.
Xu Qingzhi thought her mother still thought farming was a dead end, so she said that, but the next second she heard her mother say something serious.
"What if your brother sees how much money you make and comes back to snatch the farm from you? Who should your father and I help? Don't worry about him. He's smart and will definitely be able to get into college. Just let him make his own way out there. Just make sure he doesn't starve to death."
Xu Qingzhi: Yes, he must be her biological brother.
