Usually Lingchuan would go out to buy vegetables in advance, or go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables when he returned home after doing business.
I have been busy with accounting and shipping today. I don’t even have time to drink water or go to the toilet, so naturally I don’t have time to buy groceries.
His wife is picky and wants to eat fresh vegetables every day, so he has to go to the vegetable market to buy some before it closes.
After Ling Chuan left, Ling Jiang also got up and went to the kitchen, intending to help put the rice into the pot first.
Ling Chuan was on his way home after buying groceries. When passing by a bookstore, he saw a promotional poster for a new Walkman posted at the door of the store and subconsciously stopped.
The pears were too heavy and it was difficult for Yun Mo to carry them by herself, so she didn't take the tram but took a taxi home directly.
"Sister-in-law, you're back? Where did all these pears come from? Wait a minute, I'll help you carry them."
The gate was not closed. Zhou Xiaowei, who was sitting in the yard, saw Yun Mo getting off a taxi carrying a large bag of sand pears, and he hurried out attentively.
Zhou Xiaowei was a worker hired by the family, so Yun Mo handed the things in her hand to him without hesitation.
Ling Jiang was helping his younger brother cook in the kitchen. When he heard Yun Mo coming home, he also came out of the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, are you done with school?"
"Yes, brother."
Seeing the big bag of sand pears in Zhou Xiaowei's hand, Ling Jiang immediately smiled and praised: "These sand pears are really big, I'm afraid they are not cheap."
"It's grown by local farmers themselves, and costs ten cents per pound."
Hearing the price, Ling Jiang nodded continuously, "That's great."
Yun Mo asked Zhou Xiaowei to put the pears on the stone table in the yard, and planned to find two bags to give some to Ling Jiang and Zhou Xiaowei to take home and eat.
Ling Chunhua ran out of the room and hugged her legs happily.
"Aunt!"
Yun Mo touched the other person's face and said, "My dear, does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Yun Mo led the other person to the main house and asked, "What did you do at home today?"
"Today, many beautiful aunts came to my house. I poured water for them."
Fearing that Yun Mo might misunderstand, Ling Jiang hurried over to explain the purpose of those people's visit, "Sister-in-law, those are the bosses who came to pick up the goods. Chuanzi was busy with business all day today, and he went out to buy groceries without taking a break after finishing his work."
Yun Mo could understand Ling Jiang's nervousness. After all, she had been wronged by her mother-in-law before. She nodded at Ling Jiang gratefully.
"Momo, you're back?"
Before she had finished dividing the pears, she heard a man's voice behind her, and he walked towards her with powerful footsteps.
Yun Mo looked back at the man, her eyes swept across the basket in his hand, and thinking of Ling Jiang's words, she asked, "How is business today?"
Ling Chuan quickly replied: "I haven't had time to calculate yet, I'll do it now."
Thinking that the other party had been busy all day, Yun Mo said, "Don't worry, let's slowly figure it out after dinner."
"good."
There were 15 pears in a bag. Yun Mo put 4 pears each for Ling Jiang and Zhou Xiaowei, peeled 3 more and made fruit plates for everyone to share, and kept the remaining 4 for herself to eat at home.
After dinner, Ling Jiang and Zhou Xiaowei each left happily with a bag of sand pears.
Lingchuan was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Yunmo took Chunhua to the cabin to see Erbai's egg nest.
This was the first time Ling Chunhua had seen a live goose egg in her life. She felt curious and excited.
"Aunt, can these goose eggs really hatch goslings?"
"You'll have to ask Erbai about this."
After that, Yun Mo said to Erbai who was squatting on the side: "Erbai, when are you going to hatch the cubs?"
Erbai raised his head and called out twice, "Ga ga!"
It's almost time! Don't rush me! Yun Mo lowered her head and said to Ling Chunhua, "Er Bai said it's almost time."
Of course Yun Mo wouldn't say she was just guessing, "Yeah, that's right."
Ling Chunhua asked again, "Can Erbai understand what I'm saying?"
"You can try."
Hearing this, Ling Chunhua immediately crawled to Erbai using her hands and feet, and gently stroked Erbai's slender neck with her small hands, "Erbai, when you hatch goslings, can you give me one? I will take good care of your goslings until they are as big as you."
Erbai tilted his goose head and stared at Chunhua with his black eyes rimmed with gold, as if he was thinking.
“Ga ga ga!”
Dabai returned to the door of the cabin at some point and saw Ling Chunhua touching his wife. He immediately started yelling in panic.
Take your claws away!
Ling Chunhua was frightened by Dabai's ferocious appearance and looked at Yun Mo helplessly, "Aunt, what happened to Dabai?"
Yun Mo glanced at Dabai with amusement, "It said one is not enough, we need at least three."
Ling Chunhua's eyes suddenly lit up.
Erbai Dabai: ...
It was already dark when Ling Jiang returned home. He saw his son sitting on the floor of the main room with his back to him, playing with something, and a look of kindness appeared on his face.
He parked his bicycle, took the bag of pears given by Yun Mo, and walked behind his son with a smile.
"Jia Le, look what did Dad bring back for you?"
"dad."
Ling Jiale turned his head and glanced at the sand pear in Ling Jiang's hand, then immediately turned his head back with disinterest.
At this time, Ling Jiang finally saw clearly what was in his son's hand. It was a square sandwich cake with a thumb-sized cream flower on it, and a red cherry dotted on the cream flower.
It was exactly the same as the Western pastry he bought a few days ago as a gift to Boss Wei as an apology.
However, at this time Ling Jiang did not realize that this was the box of pastries he gave to Wei Qiaolan, and thought it was just a coincidence.
Li Li has always doted on Jiale, so it is normal for her to be willing to buy expensive Western pastries for her son.
"Jia Le, is the cake delicious?"
Ling Jiale nodded heavily, "Delicious!"
Ling Jiang teased him jokingly, "How about giving Dad a taste? Dad has never eaten such a delicious cake in his life."
“No!”
After saying that, Ling Jiale hid the cake behind him, obviously not wanting to give it to Ling Jiang.
Ling Jiang was not angry either, thinking it was normal for children to guard their food. He stood up and put the pear on the table, looking around, and asked his son, "Where is your mother?"
"Mom is out."
Hearing that Li Li was not at home, Ling Jiang turned and went into the bedroom, intending to take some clothes to change into and put them in the room where he was sleeping while his wife was away.
As soon as I entered, I saw a pile of familiar gifts on the low cabinet against the wall.
Ling Jiang thought he was seeing things, so he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
That’s right, those were the gifts he and his sister-in-law bought and took to Wei Qiaolan’s house! Ling Jiang’s mood and expression suddenly darkened.
After a while, Li Li went home, humming a song as she closed the door, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
When she entered the main room and saw her husband with a sullen face, and then saw the gifts on the dining table, the music in Li Li's throat stopped abruptly, and a trace of guilt flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal.
"What are you doing with these things?"
Good night~ (End of this chapter)
