Chapter 15 The best version of waiting

“Not really.”

Huang Xinran was very calm, "My dad said that my cooking skills are far inferior to my mom's. So, I don't cook much at home."

"Hahaha... that's because my in-laws feel sorry for you!"

Lu Tianlei laughed.

Don't they feel sorry for her? Huang Xinran lowered her eyes. During the years she was at her mother's house, her parents had always spoiled her. How could they bear to let her cook?

The dishes she cooks are barely edible, so to say that she is a good cook is a bit of an exaggeration.

But after her divorce, she was determined to elope with Xiao Huayu. She didn't dare to go back to her parents' home, and she left her children at her husband's home and didn't dare to visit them. When she found out that she was cheated by Xiao Huayu, she was too ashamed to go back. She could only seek refuge with her good sister Jiang Yurou. Unexpectedly, she jumped from this pit into another big pit...

Huang Xinran clenched her bamboo chopsticks tightly, almost unable to suppress the hatred in her heart. Suddenly, a small hand stretched out from the side and put a piece of fish meat into her bowl.

Huang Xinran turned around and saw Yaya smiling at her, "Mom, you eat too! The fish is delicious!"

Huang Xinran burst into laughter when she heard the baby's tender voice.

"Okay, Mommy eats fish, and my Yaya will eat it too!"

She took the fish belly off, removed the bones, and put it back into Yaya's bowl. "Eat it quickly."

When he took back the chopsticks, he couldn't help but turn around, picked up another piece of fish belly, took out the fish bones, and put it in Maomao's bowl.

"You eat too."

Maomao stared at the fish in disbelief.

He glared at Huang Xinran angrily, picked up the fish and was about to throw it back.

“Ahem!”

Lu Yunchen coughed loudly, and Maomao's chopsticks paused in mid-air. He then stuffed them into his mouth with a wronged look and chewed slowly.

Lu Yunchen seemed to be unaware of anything and just picked up some fish and ate it. He soon finished the big bowl of dumpling soup and even stood up to get another bowl.

After eating and drinking his fill, Huang Xinran pushed the bowl away, threw away the chopsticks, and went back to his room.

Lu Yunchen followed and asked, "I heard from Yaya that you caught that fish from the river?"

"Not one, but two."

Huang Xinran was busy looking for her own change of clothes. The day was getting hotter and she was sweating. She couldn't sleep without taking a shower. "I gave the other one to Uncle Lu to exchange for flour. Now, it's the dumpling soup we're having tonight."

Lu Yunchen paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, "No flour at home?"

"That's not the case. But..."

Huang Xinran was silent for a while before speaking: "I lost the money you sent me last month."

“Lost?!”

Lu Yunchen's face changed.

No wonder he felt something was wrong at home after he came back. Only after she reminded him did he remember that it seemed like every meal was either noodle soup or cornmeal.

"Don't worry, I will get enough money to pay you back soon."

Huang Xinran hurriedly assured.

"No need, just take care of Yaya and Maomao."

Lu Yunchen said nothing more and turned to leave. Not long after, his voice could be heard from the yard, "Mom and Dad, I have something to go out for. I'll be back later."

"Ah? You're going out now? Where are you going when it's almost dark? Yun Chen, Yun Chen... this kid is really something. I barely see him for a few days throughout the year. He finally comes back but he's still going out every day. I don't know whose character he inherited..."

Mother Lu was still chattering away, and Huang Xinran took a deep breath.

Don't hit people in the face.

Although Lu Yunchen said nothing, her face still felt hot and painful. She had to get the money back no matter what!

She snuck out the door behind him.

Even though it was getting dark, she still had to go and take a look. What if she got lucky and caught another big fish?

She followed Lu Yunchen for a long distance without realizing it, until the person in front of her suddenly turned around, and she was startled.

"Why are you following me?"

Lu Yunchen's tone was very bad.

After returning from this trip, he encountered a lot of troubles. All the troubles he caused made him wonder if he had made a mistake by coming back.

"Who said I followed you? I was just passing by...bypassing!"

Huang Xinran said, "It's better to lose the battle than the formation." He walked past him and walked forward on his own.

She hadn't decided where to go in the first place, and now that Lu Yunchen was staring at her, she couldn't even walk steadily. She wanted to turn around and apologize to him, but when she turned around, she happened to see the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, so she gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward. Unknowingly, she climbed halfway up the mountain.

Only when she saw that the man behind her had disappeared did she stop and rub her stiff face.

Men are indeed unreliable, especially handsome men, who will only affect the speed at which she makes money!

We originally planned to go fishing, but now we are halfway up the mountain. It will be dark if we turn back to the river, so we might as well just walk around and see if we can find other catches.

Just as she was about to look for it, she was startled by a sudden rustling noise in front of her!

When she turned around, she saw a rabbit running towards her as if it was running for its life.

The next moment, he bumped headfirst into a large rock in front of her, and fell on his back, apparently motionless.

This……

Is this the best version of sitting back and waiting?

She already thought the two fish she caught were weird, and now there's a rabbit...

Huang Xinran swallowed his saliva and hurried forward to pick up the rabbit. Looking at the rabbit that was not dead yet and was still twitching slightly, he fell into confusion.

Is it really possible for your wish to come true?

She looked up and saw the green bumps on the cherry tree above her. According to the time calculation, it would take at least 20 days for these cherries to be harvested.

I couldn't help but smile. It would be great if I could eat sweet cherries!

With that thought in mind, she circled the cherry tree several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any fruits falling from the sky.

She said, it’s not that good of a thing!

She pulled out a few weeds and tied up the rabbit calmly. She had died once before, so why would she be afraid of these weird things?

Just as she was about to leave, the green thread inside her body suddenly moved!

Huang Xinran was also startled by the rapid and crazy movement of the energy along the predetermined route in her body. She instinctively followed the "Qingmu Jue". But soon she also found that there was no wind around her. From the trees and grass around her, there seemed to be a hazy mist floating up and was quickly absorbed into her body. Once the green mist entered her body, it quickly merged with the green gossamer, gradually growing stronger and moving in her meridians.

After a circle was completed, a wisp of white mist was exhaled by the green gossamer, and then it lay down contentedly.

She opened her eyes, and the next moment, her mouth opened wide and her eyes widened.

The cherries that were half-grown green bumps on the tree were moistened by the escaping white mist and grew larger and redder at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hanging on the branches, they were bright in color, plump in appearance, crystal clear, and filled with a rich cherry fragrance.

It's really refreshing.

Even the cherry trees are full of life, with leaves shining bright green, forming a sharp contrast with the green cherry trees next to them.

This is...

Do you really want whatever you want?!

No matter how calm Huang Xinran was, he couldn't remain calm at this moment!

I raised my hand and picked the cherry hanging in front of my forehead. It was full and shiny, sweet, juicy, and had the unique slight sourness of cherries. It tasted so refreshing!

This cherry...

It’s as big as a cherry, but tastes much better than a cherry!

Huang Xinran became excited instantly.

It was like a perfect match. She was just worrying about how to change money as quickly as possible, and now here comes the opportunity.
