Seeing Zhang Linghui's face flushed with anger, Yu Yuehui quickly reached out and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry, if this is false, it will calm down soon. Let's not take it to heart and ignore her."
"You know that Granny Wang is notoriously shrewish and difficult to deal with. If we get into a conflict with her, we might be the ones who suffer in the end."
"You'd better not take it to heart."
Zhang Linghui nodded helplessly after hearing Yu Yuehui's words, her eyes revealing a hint of frustration: "I know what kind of person she is, so I didn't say anything just now."
"Otherwise, I really wanted to go up and argue with her."
Seeing that he was getting angrier and angrier, Yu Yue quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up and pick the alfalfa sprouts, look how much less you have than me?"
Zhang Linghui casually turned her head to take a look, and was immediately shocked. Turning back to look at her own, she exclaimed in disbelief, "How come you have so many more than me?"
"Sister Yueyue, is your hand speed even human?"
Yu Yue laughed and said, "What else could I be but a person? I just didn't stop when you were angrily complaining."
"If you had picked properly, you would probably be about the same age as me."
Zhang Linghui smiled and wisely refrained from continuing the topic, mainly because she didn't want to embarrass herself!
When the two returned at noon, Yu Yuehui, relying on her hand speed honed over many years, left the others far behind.
She did in half a day what others do in a whole day.
When she returned home carrying a full basket of fresh alfalfa sprouts, humming a cheerful tune, her hair was all sticking up, showing that she was in a very good mood.
Seeing Xie Yan, she proudly pointed to the alfalfa sprouts she had picked, as if showing off her "achievements".
Xie Yan hadn't noticed anything at first, but when he saw the basket full of fruit, his eyes widened instantly. He looked at Yu Yuehui with admiration, gave her a thumbs up, and exclaimed with praise, "Wife, you're amazing!!"
Yu Yuehui proudly raised her head, her face beaming with a smug smile, like a proud little peacock.
"That's right, if I hadn't had to come back, I could have picked another basketful!" Her slightly raised head seemed to be showing off her hard-won "trophies" to the world, cute and playful, making people want to pinch her cheeks.
Wild vegetables in spring are precious gifts from nature, full of unique charm.
In the evening, a dish of cold alfalfa sprouts was placed on the table. The tender green alfalfa sprouts were garnished with some red pepper strips and minced garlic, making them look appealing and emitting a refreshing aroma.
The first time I tasted it at Xie Yan, I was captivated by its unique flavor.
The refreshing taste, with a subtle wild vegetable fragrance, danced on his tongue, making him unable to resist taking one bite after another.
Not to mention, wild vegetables are extremely nutritious.
Of course, this doesn't mean that home-grown vegetables have low nutritional value; it just means that they each have their own merits.
Vegetables grown at home, if they haven't been treated with pesticides and have no harmful residues, are also rare delicacies. Moreover, they have been carefully selected and cultivated by our ancestors generation after generation, so their nutritional value is naturally excellent.
Because there are now two more people eating at home, Zheng Hedong and Gu Bin, Yu Yuehui specially prepared a large plate of cold alfalfa sprouts, a huge plate piled up like a small mountain.
At first, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to finish the food and it would be a waste, but to her surprise, as soon as everyone sat down at the table, chopsticks rained down on the dish of alfalfa sprouts, and they just couldn't stop.
The group nearly came to blows over the last bit of alfalfa sprouts; the scene was quite a spectacle.
While wolfing down his food, Gu Bin mumbled, "My grandpa always said how delicious alfalfa sprouts were!"
"I always thought he was just teasing me, but it really is so delicious! It's a pity he hasn't had it in years!"
Yu Yue rolled her eyes at him and said bluntly, "Just shut up. If you're really that filial, go pick some and send them over tomorrow!"
Why are you making sarcastic remarks here?
I want to outsource my filial piety efforts!
Gu Bin: "..."
When Xie Yan saw his pathetic appearance, he knew that this guy must think it would be shameful for a grown man to pick alfalfa sprouts.
He also gave Gu Bin an even bigger eye roll without any mercy.
What a proud guy.
Upon seeing this, Gu Bin immediately became indignant and shouted, "Xie Yan, what kind of eyes do you have? You didn't go either!"
"What's so noble about it!"
Xie Yan shrugged and said calmly, "I don't consider myself noble at all!"
"Besides, I'm not going because I find the travel too tiring! That's not what you're thinking!"
Gu Bin turned to Zheng Hedong, trying to form an alliance, "Uncle Zheng, don't you think this person is hypocritical? The result is the same, yet he still distinguishes between high and low, noble and base!"
Zheng Hedong was busy touching his worn-out, patched clothes, as if the clothes held immense knowledge, and had no intention of responding to Gu Bin's words.
Gu Bin's eyes widened: "!!!"
He realized that among all the people at the table, he was the only one who seemed like an outsider. Xie Yan, Yu Yuehui, and Zheng Hedong were all family!
So everyone's just laughing at him!
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise what?"
Gu Bin was furious at Xie Yan's shameless behavior. He picked up a large mouthful of alfalfa sprouts, stuffed it into his mouth, and glared at Xie Yan as he ate, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to devour Xie Yan alive.
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow indifferently, deciding not to tease this guy anymore; if he continued, Gu Bin would probably explode.
After finishing his meal, Gu Bin went outside for a short while and then seemed to have been fully recharged and revitalized.
It turned out that he had received a letter from home saying that his wedding date with Zhang Linghui had been set for March 22nd, which was an auspicious day for marriage according to the Chinese almanac.
Of course, this matter of calculating the auspicious date was done secretly by Gu Bin's grandfather; such things couldn't be made public.
They were all done secretly by themselves.
Grandpa Gu really went all out for his grandson.
Gu Bin received the letter as soon as he went out. After reading it, he was as excited as a child and immediately went to find Zhang Linghui.
At this moment, Zhang Linghui was busy at the educated youth settlement. Recently, they had started working in the fields. Most of the new educated youth were working in the fields for the first time, and they were flustered and confused, which caused a lot of conflicts. The atmosphere at the educated youth settlement was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Zhang Linghui also hopes to get married and move out soon to change her environment.
When Gu Bin approached Zhang Linghui and mentioned the wedding date, Zhang Linghui readily agreed without much thought.
It's only February now, and there's still more than a month until the wedding, which is just enough time for her to write home and tell her parents.
