After putting down the cake, Yun Mo left.

However, not long after she left, Xie Xia stopped writing, looked up at the hot scallion pancake for a few seconds, and reached out to pick up the chopsticks.

When Yun Mo finished breakfast and came to the yard, she was slightly surprised to see that the plate in front of Xie Xia was empty.

She served the scallion pancake to Xie Xia just out of courtesy and didn't expect Xie Xia to actually eat it.

"The pancakes are nicely fried. Did your husband make them?"

Noticing her gaze, Xie Xia turned her head and looked at her, her lips slightly shiny from having just eaten the scallion pancake.

"Well, Sister Xia, wait a minute, I'll get you some tissues."

Xie Xia took the tissue handed to her by Yun Mo and wiped her mouth. She then said, "With your husband's cooking skills, it won't be a problem for him to find a job as a dim sum chef in a restaurant. If you need anything, I can help."

Do you remember what Yun Yao said about Ling Chuan being unemployed?

Yun Mo felt a little warm and touched in her heart, "Thank you, Sister Xia. Ling Chuan is now doing a small jewelry wholesale business. I will definitely be polite to you if I need you in the future."

Hearing that Ling Chuan had something to do, Xie Xia said no more.

Xie Xia herself has a cold personality, and strictly speaking, the two of them are not familiar with each other. For a moment, Yun Mo didn't know whether to be happy to meet her and chat with her for a while, or leave and not disturb her studies.

Just when things were awkward, Zeng Fang's voice came from outside.

"Momo!"

Zeng Fang ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and when she saw Xie Xia sitting in front of the stone table, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Yun Mo introduced the two people with a smile, and then asked Zeng Fang, "Have you had breakfast?"

“I ate, but I wasn’t full.”

Yun Mo laughed, "I left some scallion pancakes for you in the pot. Should I get them or should you go by yourself?"

When she heard about scallion pancakes, Zeng Fang's eyes lit up immediately, "Don't bother you, I'll go by myself!"

After Zeng Fang entered the kitchen, Xie Xia's voice came from behind her, "You have a good relationship with Miss Zeng."

"We have similar personalities and hobbies, and we interact with each other quite often."

Xie Xia propped up her chin and looked at her, her expression thoughtful, "Yun Mo, you are actually very different from what I know."

Yun Mo smiled slightly, "So what kind of person do you think Sister Xia knows me to be?"

"Anyway, it's not good stuff, you don't want to hear it. I didn't try to understand it, but I always hear people talking about it from time to time. Actually, I met you a few years ago, and I felt at that time that, well, you were like a butterfly."

"Everyone has a period of rebellion and willfulness. In the past, I was ignorant and didn't know the immensity of the world."

Xie Xia raised her eyebrows. "You and Yun Yao were taken away by mistake. Have you ever looked for your biological parents?"

"Yes, I went to see them during the summer vacation..."

As we were chatting, Zeng Fang came out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of fragrant yellow scallion pancakes.

Because it has been baked in the pan for a while, the scallion pancake is relatively crispy and makes a "crunching" sound when you bite it.

Looking at the scallion pancake in Zeng Fang's hand, Xie Xia narrowed her eyes.

They were both guests, so why did she only have two small pieces on her plate? Seeing Yun Mo and Xie Xia looking at her, Zeng Fang asked politely, "Do you want to eat?"

Yun Mo: "No, I just ate."

Xie Xia: "Yes."

Seeing Yun Mo looking at her, Xie Xia calmly explained: "Doing exercises burns calories quickly, I'm a little hungry."

Yun Mo actually planned to take the big plate of scallion pancakes out with her so that she could have a snack when she was hungry, but the two of them finished it before she even left the house.

—

It was almost November and the weather had become much cooler, but after arriving at the place, Ling Chuan was the first to take out the oilcloth and build a simple shed to block the sunlight, and then he and Zhou Xiaowei took off their shoes and went into the water to catch crabs and river shrimps.

Crabs usually hide in the cracks of rocks. This place is relatively remote and not many people come here usually, so they reproduce in great numbers. There are basically crabs under every rock.

The river shrimps were in the water plants on both sides of the ditch. Zhou Xiaowei was walking over with a net bag. Dabai and Erbai followed him happily, constantly burying their heads in the water to catch shrimps and small fish to eat.

The flood season has passed, and the water level in the creek is very shallow, with the deepest places barely reaching the knee level.

As the river has not been polluted by industry or the environment, the water is crystal clear and you can occasionally see schools of small fish swimming around.

Sitting there was boring, so Zeng Fang was eager to try, "Momo, let's go into the water and catch crabs too."

"OK."

So the three of them took off their shoes, supported each other and slowly went down to the ditch.

Arriving at the center of the riverbed, Zeng Fang carefully moved a bowl-sized stone and saw two crabs slightly larger than a thumb running around. She immediately shouted excitedly, "Quick, catch them! Don't let them run away!"

Xie Xia: "Too small, no meat."

"Ah, it seems a little small. It's okay. I'll find something else."

Seeing that the two of them were touching each other with great interest, Yun Mo smiled and turned to walk towards Ling Chuan's position.

Ling Chuan threw the crabs he had just caught into the iron bucket. When he looked up and saw his wife coming towards him, he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to her.

"Momo, hold on to me, be careful not to fall."

Although the water level is not deep, there are stones of various sizes everywhere, and if you accidentally slip and fall, you will definitely bump into something.

With the help of the man, Yun Mo sat on a large rock that was exposed above the water. She paddled in the water with her snow-white feet while watching the man touch crabs and appreciating the surrounding scenery. It was so comfortable and relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and everyone picked up food on the spot. Small shrimps and fish were fried until crispy, larger river shrimps were boiled in plain water, and half of the crabs were steamed and the other half used to make porridge.

Although wild fish, shrimps and crabs do not have much meat, they taste fresh and sweet.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat under the tent to rest and chat.

"I want to raise a dog. Do you know where I can buy a good-looking puppy?"

When Zeng Fang heard Yun Mo say that she wanted to raise a dog, she hurriedly asked, "Mo Mo, what kind of dog do you want to raise?"

"A bigger one, the kind that can guard the house."

Hearing her words, Ling Chuan was silent.

Because he knew clearly that his daughter-in-law kept a dog in order to prevent Du's sister-in-law Li Li from coming to cause trouble again.

"My dog ​​gave birth to a few puppies a while ago. If you want, I'll catch two for you when I go back."

Hearing Xie Xia's words, Yun Mo nodded quickly, "Okay."

Late in the evening, Xie Xia kept her word and had someone send her two puppies.

But when Yun Mo opened the carton and saw two husky puppies inside, she immediately regretted it.

Is it too late for her to return the goods now? As if sensing her disdain, the two puppies jumped out of the carton with a "woof woof" and ran around the yard happily. One of them even ran to the front of the pond and stared at the big white cat in the pond.

“Woof woof woof!”

Who are you? "Ga ga ga!"

Your father.

“Woof woof!”

fart!

"quack."

Silly.

Looking at the scene of dogs barking and geese cryin', Yun Mo rubbed her forehead and could almost foresee how "lively" this home would be in the future.
