Fu Wan continued, "You all watched me grow up, and you've given me plenty of candy before. What are you doing now? If you put it back, I'll get angry!"
Since Fu Wan had already said so, Liu San Niang had no choice but to give up. However, she couldn't bear to accept Fu Wan's candy for free, so after thinking for a while, she simply picked out the two biggest radishes from her own basket.
"Well, I don't have anything for you. I just pulled this radish out of the ground. Take it home and stir-fry it!"
Fu Wan's eyes lit up. "The radishes in the field have grown this big already?"
Liu Sanniang smiled smugly, "I planted them early, and now only my radishes are edible in the village. Take them back and have your mother cook a fish with them."
"Oh, I love this!"
Fu Wan accepted it with delight. "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer." Although it's not particularly cold now, the radishes are still very delicious!
When I went to Guangzhou, I remembered the radishes from home. I didn't expect to be able to eat them as soon as I got back.
Seeing that Fu Wan accepted the radishes given by Liu San Niang, the other aunties followed suit and also began to empty their baskets.
They gave me a head of cabbage for this one, and a handful of chives for that one.
In no time, Fu Wan couldn't carry any more; her arms were full of vegetables!
Liu San Niang couldn't bear to see it any longer, so she smiled and lent her vegetable basket to Fu Wan.
"Awan, you should go back too, your mother has been talking about you for days!"
"Okay!"
Fu Wan responded and turned back.
While chatting with the aunties, Fu Ming saw the crowd disperse and quickly drove the car back.
Because the jeeps are quite large, and many people are returning from the fields at this time, if they get stuck on the road, it will be difficult for the villagers pulling carts and pushing wheelbarrows to pass.
Just as Fu Wan turned into the alley leading home, Boss Fu arrived.
"father!"
"Why!"
Fu Laoda happily agreed and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things from Fu Wan's hands.
"Oh my, why are you carrying so much stuff? Why didn't you go home instead of going to the vegetable garden?"
"What vegetable garden? These are all things that my aunts and older women insisted on giving me."
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated, while Boss Fu chuckled. In fact, he had known all along and was just joking to tease Fu Wan!
As soon as the father and daughter entered the courtyard, Fu Wan saw Ye Xiaocui sitting at the kitchen door, picking vegetables and looking on expectantly.
"Mother!"
"Oh, my dear, you're finally back!"
Ye Xiaocui hurriedly put down the vegetables in her hand, quickly dried her hands on her apron, and went forward to greet them.
"Let me see, are you alright after going out?"
Fu Wan said helplessly, "Mother, what are you saying? I went fishing, not to fight a war. How could I get hurt!"
Despite saying that, she still obediently let Ye Xiaocui examine her.
Ye Xiaocui muttered to herself, "Hmph, I know you too well. You go fishing, that's true, but once you get hooked, you just jump into the water and fight the fish head-on."
"You have no idea how many times I've been dreaming these past few days about you going into the water and fighting with fish. And when that big shark opens its mouth, it scares me awake!"
Fu Wan almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"Mom, why would you have such a dream? Don't worry, even if I go into the water, it's the fish that suffers. I've been out to sea so many times before, and I've always come back safe and sound. Hehe, I know what I'm doing."
"Besides, I really didn't go into the water this time; they had locals help them!"
After checking Fu Wan and finding that she was indeed unharmed, Ye Xiaocui rolled up her sleeves with satisfaction and prepared to continue cooking in the kitchen.
"That's more like it. You can rest for a few days now that you're back, right? You look so thin from exhaustion. Luckily, I killed a chicken this morning and added some wild ginseng that your uncle sent. It's already stewing, and I'm going to give you a good nourishing meal!"
"No wonder it smelled so good, it turns out there's chicken soup!"
As soon as Fu Wan entered the room, she smelled the rich aroma. Upon hearing that there was also wild ginseng, she was deeply moved.
The wild ginseng that Ye Xiaocui mentioned was discovered by Ye Jianguo in the mountains around the Chinese New Year. There were two plants in total. They consulted an old Chinese medicine doctor in Qingshan Village, who said one was ten years old and the other was fifteen years old.
He gave that fifteen-year-old one to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan told Ye Xiaocui to leave it, thinking she might need it later, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiaocui started cooking it right away.
Oh well, since it's already been stewed, and we have even older wild ginseng at home.
"Ah Wan, come quick! What should we do with all this stuff you brought back?"
Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and Fang Min finally managed to bring the package into the main house. Since Fu Wan wasn't there, they didn't dare to open it.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly agreed and then pulled Ye Xiaocui along.
"Mom, it's still early. Don't rush to cook. Come with me to see the gifts I bought!"
"What?! What gift?!"
Ye Xiaocui was completely bewildered. When they arrived at the main house, she was so shocked when she saw Fu Wan directing Fu Ming and Fu Liang to open the snakeskin bag and reveal the clothes inside that her mouth was agape.
"Ah Wan...you, you, you're going into the clothing business?"
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated, shaking her head and saying, "What clothing business? These clothes are all for you!"
"What! Ours?!"
Ye Xiaocui was shocked again, "God, you're not kidding me, are you? There are so many clothes, your father and I could wear them for our next life and still not finish them!"
"Pah, pah, pah! What are you talking about? Why bring up the next life when we're doing well in this life? Of course, this doesn't just apply to you, it also includes your uncle and Brother Lin!"
After saying that, Fu Wan called Fang Min and began to sort the clothes they had bought.
First, take out the gifts for Fang Min, Fu Qing, and Wang Xiuer. Fu Qing's gift is a sweater, and Wang Xiuer's gift is a beautiful headscarf.
As for Fang Min, she wore a clean and neat leather jacket, which she thought looked smart; in Fu Wan's words, it was cool.
The rest are all our own.
"This military overcoat is for Dad, and the other one is for Uncle."
"The red wool coat belongs to your mother and aunt. I also got you a scarf. How does it look? Isn't it nice?"
Fu Wan proudly showed it to Ye Xiaocui, who was still in shock when Fu Ming, who was standing nearby, picked up the nearest piece of clothing and started shouting.
"Wan, Wan, this denim jacket is so trendy, is it for me?"
Before Fu Wan could answer, Fu Ming had already eagerly picked up his clothes and started putting them on.
Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly stopped him, "This is for your sister-in-law, the leather jacket is for you!"
"Hey, that explains why I couldn't get the gloves on!"
Fu Ming grinned and picked up the leather jacket to put it on.
Fu Laoda put on the military overcoat as well. He turned around and saw his wife looking distressed. He immediately knew that she was worried about the money she had spent.
Fu Laoda shook his head and whispered, "Mother of the child, that's enough. You've already bought it for Awan. She's your daughter, don't you know her?"
Awan isn't the type of child who spends money recklessly. The reason she can buy so much must be because it's a good deal!
You should try this on quickly. If you don't like it, you can sell it later!
