Chapter 278
Zhou Jinmei became even more furious when she heard Ye Fuyun's words.
"If I don't let you do the laundry or cook at home, you'll be able to meet promising friends? You go out to buy groceries every day, so how can you make any friends? Or can you draw furniture pictures like Ye Fuyue and meet some great people?!"
Ye Fuyun lowered his eyes, picked at his nails, and stopped talking.
Zhou Jinmei's anger didn't subside at all. She continued, "You can't compare to Ye Fuyue in anything, and you still think we're a burden to you? Are we a burden to you because you haven't even conceived a child after being married for so long? It's simply because you're incompetent that you can't even get pregnant and can't even get mountain products!"
Zhou Jinmei continued to curse, and the words she used were the same over and over again, scolding Ye Fuyun for being incompetent, unable to get pregnant, and dragging down the entire Wu family.
Ye Fuyun was tired of listening, and his eyes were full of annoyance.
At the same time, the Shen family was very happy.
Seeing Shen Yao pour out everything in the bag, Chen Guifeng and Shen Shun were dumbfounded.
"So many things!" Shen Kang also sighed.
"Wow, there are so many treasures in the mountains!" Chen Shun opened his eyes wide and said to Ye Fuyue in amazement: "Sister-in-law, can you take me with you next time you go to the mountains?"
Ye Fuyue wasn't sure if there would be a next time, but she promised Shen Shun, "If there is a next time, I'll take you there."
Shen Shun cheered happily.
"You picked so many mountain products. The villagers didn't say anything to you, right?" Chen Guifeng asked worriedly.
"I brought some fruit candies for Yu Wanying's cousin." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng nodded: "That's good."
Ye Fuyue said, "I'll save some of these and bring them to Yu Tong someday. We can keep the dates at home and eat them. We can dry the mushrooms and store them for cooking later. As for the chestnuts, we can save some for roasting chicken, or make chestnut cakes and sugar-roasted chestnuts."
"Okay." Chen Guifeng listened to Ye Fuyue's arrangements, nodded and smiled.
"Sugar-roasted chestnuts?" As soon as he heard these four words, Shen Shun's radar was activated: "I want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts!"
Actually, Ye Fuyue also wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. Now that the weather has turned cooler, eating the sweet and soft sugar-roasted chestnuts is perfect.
"Let's make sugar-roasted chestnuts now!" Ye Fuyue said.
Shen Shun was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
"You've been picking mountain products for most of the day. Aren't you tired? Do you want to take a break before continuing?" Chen Yao asked with concern.
"Not tired. Who would be tired when there are delicious foods?" Ye Fuyue said.
The sugar-roasted chestnuts will be ready soon. You can eat them while sitting in a rocking chair. That is the real rest.
"Okay, then we'll help you. Shen Shun, you have to help your sister-in-law too." Shen Yao said.
"Okay——" Shen Shun was full of energy and had no complaints.
In this way, everyone was divided into three groups.
Ye Fuyue, Shen Yao, and Chen Shun went to wash the chestnuts. Chen Kang gathered the dates, and Chen Guifeng dried the mushrooms.
After Chen Kang put away the dates, he joined Ye Fuyue and the others to drain the water from the washed chestnuts.
Haohao and Ranran lay on the fence, looking at Ye Fuyue and the others curiously.
Drain the washed chestnuts and use a knife to make a cross-shaped cut on the surface of the chestnuts. Then you can start making sugar-fried chestnuts.
When Ye Fuyue was making sugar-roasted chestnuts, Shen Shun was watching from the side.
Ye Fuyue teased him: "You are watching so seriously, do you want to do it yourself in the future?"
Shen Shun smiled embarrassedly: “I forgot it after I saw it. But next time, I can try to do it myself, as long as my sister-in-law can teach me.”
"Okay." Ye Fuyue also smiled.
When the sweet aroma of chestnuts wafts through the kitchen, the sugar-roasted chestnuts are ready.
Ye Fuyue picked up a chestnut for herself and Shen Shun to taste.
Although it was a little hot, the moment the two of them ate the chestnuts, their eyes lit up and they both felt that they were so fragrant, glutinous and delicious!
Ye Fuyue poured the sugar-roasted chestnuts from the pot into a winnowing basket and gave it to Chen Yao and the others to eat.
Shen Shun filled his pockets with sugar-roasted chestnuts and ran to find Fan Hua.
"Fan Hua, these are the chestnuts my sister-in-law picked from the mountains and made into sugar-roasted chestnuts. Try them, aren't they delicious?" Shen Shun gave Fan Hua two sugar-roasted chestnuts with a proud look on his face.
Fan Hua peeled one and put it in his mouth, his eyes shining: "It's delicious! So sweet."
"Is it better than the sugar-roasted chestnuts sold outside?" Shen Shun asked proudly.
Fan Hua nodded repeatedly.
The sugar-roasted chestnuts fresh from the pan were exceptionally delicious. Furthermore, Fan Hua knew his friend too well. As long as he followed Shen Shun's lead, he could get more delicious food from him.
Sure enough, when Shen Shun saw Fan Hua nod, he was very satisfied and took a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his pocket and gave them to Fan Hua: "If it tastes good, eat more."
"Hehe." Fan Hua smiled happily.
The two sat on the side of the road, eating sugar-roasted chestnuts and chatting.
"Where did your sister-in-law pick the chestnuts?" Fan Hua asked.
"She said it was in the mountains, and her friend took her there. She not only picked chestnuts, but also dates and mushrooms."
“Wow—there are so many good things in the mountains!”
"That's right. I asked my sister-in-law to take me with her next time she goes to the mountains. She agreed."
"I want to go too! Can you ask your sister-in-law to take me with you?"
Shen Shun glanced at Fan Hua and said reluctantly: “Okay, I will talk to my sister-in-law when the time comes to see if she is willing to take you.”
"Hehe, your sister-in-law is such a nice person, beautiful, and cooks delicious food. She is kind-hearted and will definitely be willing to take me there." Fan Hua flattered her.
Shen Shun raised his little chin proudly.
Fan Hua finished the last sugar-roasted chestnut in his hand, glanced at Shen Shun's still bulging pockets, and said with emotion: "How can it be so delicious? It's a hundred times better than the ones sold outside!"
Shen Shun noticed that Fan Hua had finished eating and said, “Why are you eating so fast?”
"It's delicious, of course I eat it quickly." Fan Hua showed his teeth and smiled flatteringly, "Shunzi, you are so lucky to be able to eat such delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts."
Shen Shun took a few handfuls of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his pocket with a proud look on his face and gave them to Fan Hua: "Eat slowly, if you finish them, I won't have any left. I didn't bring many out."
Fan Hua glanced at Shen Shun and saw that his pockets were bulging, and nodded, but he still ate quickly.
When the two were eating happily, Liang Tianxiong ran over and stared at the sugar-roasted chestnuts in their hands.
"What are you eating?" asked Liang Tianxiong.
Neither Shen Shun nor Fan Hua liked Liang Tianxiong, so they ignored him.
Seeing that the two of them ignored him, Liang Tianxiong spread out his hands and said directly: "I want to eat too! Give me some!"
Shen Shun glanced at Liang Tianxiong with disdain.
Liang Tianxiong was just a little kid of four or five years old, but he dared to speak to them in such a commanding tone.
"No. If you want to eat, go buy it yourself outside." Shen Shun said in a cold tone.
