"No need, just do your thing." Yu Mengshan smiled and patted Zhao Yu's shoulder, "Do your best."
Zhao Yuhan smiled and said, "Then when uncle finishes work later, I will go back and have a drink with you."
Yu Mengshan nodded in satisfaction. After Zhao Yu left, he said to Yu Fuling, "Let's go back to the paper mill. I'll keep Brother Yu from working here."
Yu Fuling took his hand and said with a smile, "Don't delay, Dad. If you want to go around, I'll accompany you to look around."
Yu Mengshan looked at Yu Fuling with a smile and shook his head, "No, let's go back to the paper mill to see if Meng girl has finished her work."
He could feel that his daughter was really happy living with Meng Yatou in Xixun County. Even the smile on her face was much more charming than when she was at home.
The old man and the old lady were like the dark clouds hanging over the family. Except for the third wife, the children of the first and second wives had a hard time in recent years.
Leaving Baiyi Village, walking on the small path in the fields, listening to Yu Fuling chattering "showing off" the "great achievements" that Yu Jiao had made in Xiyun County, Yu Mengshan listened with a smile. Ever since Yu Jiao came to their home, their second branch has finally lived a good life. If Fuling had not been engaged earlier, he really wanted to keep her for a few more years and live a comfortable life at home.
After all, you have become someone else's daughter-in-law. No matter how good-tempered your parents-in-law are, they can't be like your own parents who gave birth to you and didn't bear grudges.
Fuling is the eldest daughter in the second wife's family. Unlike other girls, she is not spoiled and becomes innocent. She thinks of Zhe'er for everything good. Yu Mengshan's deepest impression is the early years when Fuling was still a child. She saw the old lady buying candy figures for the two brothers in the third wife's family. She was very greedy for them, but she was sensible and did not cry or make a fuss for them.
He secretly picked up the wooden stick that his second brother Jinshu had thrown away after eating the candy figurine and licked it while hiding in the corner.
When Yu Mengshan, the father, saw this, he felt so sad that he almost cried.
After that day, he wandered around the mountain for three or four days and finally killed a musk deer. He took it to the market to sell for money and took little Fuling with him to buy her a candy man.
But she was so happy that she was worried about Zhe Ge'er's weak body and the bitter taste of the medicine, so she only took a bite and hid the rest back home. After Zhe Ge'er finished taking the medicine, she secretly gave him the broken candy man.
Thinking of this now, Yu Mengshan couldn't help but tear up.
Yu Fuling was talking excitedly about how the Shao family in Qingzhou used threats and bribes to rob food. When she turned around, she saw that her father seemed to be crying. She was speechless for a moment and said helplessly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Mengshan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and said with a smile, "It's nothing, my eyes are crying in the wind, so I can let the wind blow them away."
"Why haven't I heard you say that before?" Yu Fuling noticed that Yu Mengshan had white hair on his temples and back of his head. For a moment, she lost her cheerful mood. "Dad, you have white hair? I didn't notice it before."
Yu Mengshan said nonchalantly, "You and Zhe Ge'er are both grown up, and your mother and I are also getting old. It's normal to have some white hair."
Yu Fuling hugged his arm and said in a coquettish tone, "How can you be old? You and my mother are still young. When the hucai is ripe, Yu Jiao will make hair oil. You and my mother can use the hucai oil to apply on our hair. It will definitely be black and shiny!"
"The oil extracted from radish seeds can also be used to make hair oil?" Yu Mengshan asked in surprise.
Yu Fuling nodded, "Yes, Yu Jiao said it can be used to make a lot of things! Rapeseed oil can make vegetables fragrant, make candles very bright, and make hair black and smooth when applied. It has a lot of uses!"
It was also the first time that Yu Mengshan heard that in the past, hucai was sown in farmers' vegetable gardens for stir-frying. The seeds could only be used as vegetable seeds and had no other uses. However, it turned out that it could be used to extract oil.
