When Su Yan came back from the mountain, Hua Min had not yet finished get off work. Fortunately, she had the key to the Lu family's front door and opened the gate herself.
As soon as she entered the yard, Su Yan poured all the soapberries in the woven bag onto the ground. Thinking of the two bags left in the space, she decided to take them out and dry them together. With so many soapberries, she wondered if there would be two kilograms of soapberry rice.
Then she poured out the fangfeng and platycodon from the backpack. Su Yan first cleaned the dirt off the fangfeng and put it in a large winnowing basket to dry.
It is a bit troublesome to handle Platycodon grandiflorum. After cleaning it, you have to scrape the skin with a knife, and then cut it into slices. It would be much faster to process it directly in the space.
Thinking that I have nothing to do, I will just take my time. The medicinal materials processed by myself are definitely better than those made by machines.
After Su Yan dried the Platycodon grandiflorum, she took out a pot of cold-mixed Platycodon grandiflorum from the space. At this time, Hua Min also came home from get off work.
When Su Yan saw her mother-in-law coming back, she quickly stood up and said, "Mom, you're back."
Hua Min was very pleased when she saw the herbs drying in the yard. Who said her daughter-in-law was lazy? Isn't she very diligent?
"I didn't expect our Yanyan to know so many herbs. Oh my god, how come you picked so many soapberries today?"
"There's a soapberry tree about ten meters tall on the west side of Tiger Ridge. I saw it was laden with fruit, so I figured out a way to hook some down with something."
"You mean the soapberry tree to the west? It's really tall, and it has many soapberry thorns. No one dares to climb up to pick them.
They only pick the soapberries when they are old and fall from the trees. Yanyan, how do you pick these soapberries?
"I made a hook out of a tree branch and tied it to a bamboo pole. With one hook, all the soapberries fell off.
"Yan Yan is really smart. The soap factory collects soapberries, and we can sell the dried soapberries to them.
There are still many soapberry trees in Laohuling, and in October many people go into the mountains to pick soapberries and sell them to soap factories."
"Mom, we should not sell these soapberries. We can use the seeds to peel soapberry rice, and the soap shells to wash clothes or make soap."
"But I don't know how to make soap. Can Yanyan make soap by herself?"
In her previous life, Su Yan liked to tinker around and play with handmade soap DIY. Making ordinary soap was not a difficult task for her at all. She usually liked to study medicated soaps and scented soaps, and she had recipes for hundreds of medicated soaps and scented soaps.
Su Yan knew that the original owner was simple-minded, so she could only continue to pretend and act as if she didn't understand much.
"Soap shouldn't be difficult to make, right? I heard that the soap factory's soap is all made of lard and soapberry. We can try it ourselves when the time comes."
Hua Min gave a thumbs-up and said, "Yan Yan is amazing. I don't really understand this either. By the way, Yan Yan, do you blame Ting Er for giving the soap factory job to Comrade Zhao Lan?"
Is it any use blaming him? That position was never hers in the first place. It was just that his father-in-law and he had the right to arrange the job.
"How could that be? He's in a position like that, so he has to be considerate of the people below him. Comrade Li Jun has many children at home and a heavy burden. Lu Ting's actions show that he's responsible."
Regardless of whether she likes Lu Ting or not, it is always right to praise her son in front of her mother-in-law.
When Hua Min heard her daughter-in-law praising her son like that, she felt as happy as if she had eaten honey.
"Yan Yan is such a good girl. Didn't you say you're going to take the college entrance exam next year? Then spend the remaining ten months studying hard! Mom, I hope you can get into your ideal school next year."
"Well, I will work hard."
Hua Min was cooking in the kitchen, and Su Yan was helping to light the fire in front of the stove. Just as the meal was ready, Lu Fengnian and Lu Ting, father and son, came back with gloomy faces.
Su Yan felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Could it be that Lu Ting had discovered the truth so quickly? Was Lu Li really not a child of the Lu family?
Hua Min also felt that the atmosphere was a little off, so she asked, "What's wrong with you and your son today? Why aren't you talking? Oh, and why didn't Lu Li come back for dinner?"
"She must have gone to see Comrade Ye again. Let's ignore her. She can come back or not. If not, let's eat first." Lu Fengnian said impatiently.
Hua Min got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, and took out a little bit of each dish, so that her daughter wouldn't come back and complain that no food was left for her.
Lu Fengnian opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he swallowed what he wanted to say.
Su Yan felt very depressed during the meal. As soon as she put down her bowl and chopsticks, Lu Ting took her hand and said to Lu Fengnian and his wife, "Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work. I'll take Yanyan home first."
Su Yan felt a little embarrassed. They didn't do anything after eating and just wiped their mouths and left.
"Hey, Lu Ting, slow down! I haven't even taken my backpack yet."
"The backpack won't be lost. You can get it next time you need it."
As soon as his son and daughter-in-law left, Hua Min hurriedly asked Lu Fengnian, "Fengnian, why are you so angry today? What did our daughter do to upset you? Why do I feel that there is something wrong with your attitude towards Li'er?"
He didn't care if his daughter didn't come back, but he got angry when his daughter was mentioned. It wasn't that Lu Li did something to annoy him.
Lu Fengnian is also in great pain now. He had not originally planned to tell his wife about this matter in advance, but his son said that if his wife was the last one to know the truth, she would definitely be more painful and would blame him for deceiving her.
He also didn't want his wife to be separated from him. After thinking it over, he mustered up the courage to ask tentatively, "Xiao Min, what should we do if Lu Li isn't our child?"
Hua Min's heart was pounding. She felt like her husband was hiding something. "Fengnian, you suspected Lu Li wasn't our daughter the other day. Why are you suspecting her again today?"
