Chapter 194: A bumper harvest of grapes



Zhao Juanzi also knew that Wang Maoni had broken her leg. When she heard this, she hurriedly said, "This is serious business. Go quickly. I'll leave some rice for you in the pot. You can eat it when you come back."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie."

Fu Wenjing agreed and left quickly with his bag.

After Zhao Juanzi prepared the meal, she carried it into the east room, not forgetting to sigh to Su Runruan.

"Fu Qi is so filial. He was in such a hurry to send the letter that he didn't even have time to eat."

Su Ruanruan smiled softly, "You can eat after you come back, but he doesn't have much time. If he doesn't hurry up and send the letter, it will be too late today."

"You two are both good people." Zhao Juanzi sighed again.

In this era, there are countless cases of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It cannot be said that there are no people who can do what Su Ruanruan does, but they are also rare.

Especially for someone like Zhao Juanzi, who doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet, wouldn't she be unable to resist being attracted to someone like Su Runrun?

Su Runrun understood the logic behind this, she just smiled at Zhao Juanzi and didn't say anything more.

After lunch, the two fed the quadruplets complementary food, played with them for a while, and coaxed them to take a nap.

Seeing that it was almost two o'clock and Fu Wenjing hadn't come back yet, Zhao Juanzi seemed a little worried.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Fu Qi come back yet?" Zhao Juanzi said worriedly.

Although there is no blood relationship, Zhao Juanzi has stayed in this family for nearly a year, and has developed a certain affection for them by spending time with them day and night. She has long regarded Su Runrun and Fu Wenjing as her juniors.

Now that Fu Wenjing has been gone for such a long time and hasn't come back yet, I can't help but feel a little worried.

Su Runrun certainly knew why Fu Wenjing hadn't come back yet. That was because he was going to a county town, which was quite far away from here and it would take some time to go back and forth.

But Su Runrun didn't intend to tell Zhao Juanzi this.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain if Zhao Juanzi asked further questions.

Su Ruanruan could only smile and say, "Maybe he encountered something on the way, so he came back late. Auntie, don't worry too much. He is a soldier and he went out in a military uniform. Even if someone wants to cause trouble, they dare not find him. Maybe he was doing something for others, so he was delayed."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Juanzi nodded in agreement.

"People like Fu Qi like to help others. They are willing to help anyone they see on the road who needs help. They are very kind!"

Seeing that she had been fooled, Su Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not until about 2:30 that Fu Wenjing finally came back.

Zhao Juanzi was taking a lunch break. When she heard the noise, she immediately came out of the west room and hurried to get the rice.

"Eat quickly, it will be too late if you don't go to the army now."

They had lo mein for lunch, and the broth was kept warm in the pot and did not get cold.

After the noodles were cooked, they were rinsed with water and placed in a large bowl.

The hot marinade is poured over the cold noodles and paired with freshly cut cucumber shreds. It tastes chewy and crispy.

Eating a bowl of this on a hot summer day will not only make your stomach feel comfortable, but also make your whole body feel comfortable.

Fu Wenjing is also very polite when he eats.

But now he was in a hurry and didn't care about anything else. He ate in big mouthfuls, with his cheeks bulging all the time.

Despite this, it does give people a heroic feeling, not rude.

After finishing the last bite of noodles, Fu Wenjing wiped his mouth, stood up and went to clean up the dishes.

Zhao Juanzi hurriedly stopped them and snatched the dishes and chopsticks away.

"Just leave it to me, and do whatever you need to do."

"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie!" Fu Wenjing said to Zhao Juanzi, and then he looked at Su Ruanruan, "Wife, the letter has been sent, you don't have to worry. I'll go to the army first, and I'll talk to you when I come back in the evening if there's anything."

Su Ruanruan nodded, "I understand, go ahead!"

Fu Wenjing is always thorough in his work, so there is nothing to worry about.

After Fu Wenjing left, Su Runrun didn't want to continue sleeping, so she simply took the scissors and a basket and went to the yard.

When the grapes are not ripe, they are crisp and green in bunches. Every day I wonder when the grapes will be ripe.

But once one bunch of grapes is ripe, all the grapes will rush to ripen as well.

If they only eat a few bunches every day, they will never be able to finish all these grapes.

Unfortunately, current storage conditions are limited, and they cannot be bought and sold privately, so if these grapes are not eaten when they are ripe, they will be wasted.

If you don't cut it off early, the birds will come and eat it.

Not only will it peck everywhere, but it will also be unsafe.

Su Runrun simply cut off all the ripe grapes, planning to wash them and make grape jam or brew wine.

In fact, drying raisins is also a good idea, but the sunlight here is not strong enough and the time is not enough, so it is estimated that raisins cannot be made and the grapes will just be wasted.

When they are not cut, you can see that there are a lot of grapes just by looking at them.

Now when I cut the ripe grapes one by one, I found that there are so many of them.

Su Ruanruan brought a large basket, but it was filled up in no time.

Seeing this, Zhao Juanzi quickly brought another basket and said, "Ruanruan, put them in here! There are so many grapes! How can there be so many!"

Su Ruanruan couldn't give any specific answer, so she could only say, "Maybe we took good care of them, or maybe the breed is better.

Auntie, look at all these grapes. We can't finish them all. We have nothing to do this afternoon anyway, so why don't you take a basket of grapes home and come back later?"

Zhao Juanzi hesitated, "Is this... not good?"

"What's wrong with that? We are not outsiders.

Anyway, it’s close, you can take the bus, it won’t take long to go back and forth.”

Since Su Runrun had said so much, Zhao Juanzi no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll go back then. Don't worry, I'll be there and back quickly. It won't take more than three hours."

Su Ruanruan certainly had nothing to worry about. "Just go ahead, Auntie. Just come back before dark."

Su Ruanruan handed the basket of grapes to Zhao Juanzi, "Take this basket of grapes back home, Auntie!"

A big basket was filled to the brim, weighing at least several dozen kilograms.

In other words, Zhao Juanzi was used to doing farm work and had strong hands, so she was able to understand it.

Otherwise, you can't even lift it, let alone carry it far.

Zhao Juanzi didn't have anything else to pack, so she took the basket, thanked Su Ruanruan, and then left with the grapes.

After watching Zhao Juanzi leave, Su Runruan found another basket and continued picking grapes.
