Sister Hua, who had been waiting for a long time, led the servants forward and took the things from the two men.
"Miss, brother-in-law, you are finally here. Madam is waiting for you in the pavilion. It is hot and stuffy in the house. Madam usually has dinner in the pavilion. Mosquito coils are lit early around the pavilion, so there is no need to worry about mosquitoes."
Yun Mo smiled and replied: "When I was at home, I often ate in the yard. I planted a tree in my yard. I ate under the tree, which provided shade and was cool."
"What kind of tree is planted in the young lady's yard?"
"It's a jujube tree. It was planted at the beginning of the year. The fruit is growing well. We can eat jujubes in a month or two."
"The jujube trees planted by the young lady must be sweet."
It would be great if there was SF Express in this day and age. It would be delivered the next day after it is sent today. She could also ask her family to send some dates grown in the yard over for her to try.
In the pavilion, Mrs. Shao was making tea. Seeing the young couple, she casually invited them to sit down.
Sister Hua brought the tea that Mrs. Shao had poured to the two of them.
"Madam, it's almost 7 o'clock and my master hasn't come home yet. Do you want to urge him to come home?"
Madam Shao looked at Yun Mo, "Are you hungry?"
Yun Mo shook her head, "I'm not that hungry."
"Then wait a little longer for your father. He is a sensible man. He knows that he has a welcome party for you tonight, so he won't come back late on purpose. He must have been held up by something."
"Um."
Sister Hua hurriedly said, "The soup is already cooked. Why don't you serve a few bowls to drink first?"
Mrs. Shao nodded, "Okay."
Yun Mo thought of the watermelon she brought, "Sister Hua, soak the watermelon in ice water, it will taste better when you eat it."
"Oh, okay, miss."
Mrs. Shao looked at her granddaughter with some curiosity, "Where did the watermelon come from?"
Yun Mo took a sip of tea and said, "I grew this and brought it here especially for you to taste."
Mrs. Shao subconsciously thought that the watermelon was brought by Yun Mo from Jiang City. Bringing a watermelon from thousands of miles away was a precious thought, but it was also ridiculous.
Mrs. Shao suppressed her smile and said, "Well, I'll have to eat two more pieces tonight, so that your hard work won't be in vain."
Yun Mo replied: "Watermelon is cool in nature, so it's not good to eat too much. Just try it, it's quite sweet."
Mrs. Shao looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Do you like sweet food?"
"Anyway, I don't like hardship."
No matter the tone of his speech or the way he frowned, he looked very much like his son when he was a child. The more Mrs. Shao looked at him, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The real thing is different from the fake one.
Sister Hua brought the soup, which was winter melon, scallop and old duck soup. It clears away heat, promotes salivation, nourishes and improves the skin, and is very suitable for drinking in summer.
The three of them had just put down their bowls and hadn't started drinking when Shao Lin came rushing back carrying two large food boxes.
"I came back late. Have you guys already eaten? What are you eating?"
Mrs. Shao put down the soup bowl and said, "You came back at the right time."
Sister Hua smiled and explained, "Master, you are finally back. I just served the soup and no one else got to drink it."
"dad."
Yun Mo and Ling Chuan put down their soup bowls and stood up to greet them.
Shao Lin handed the food box in his hand to Sister Hua, "I thought Momo loves braised food, so on my way back, I stopped by the Jing Lu Restaurant and packed some braised food as a side dish."
As he spoke, Shao Lin smiled at Yun Mo, "Mo Mo, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Yun Mo shook her head, "No, we just came over and sat down."
"Okay, you're sweating all over. Go back and wash up, change your clothes and come over for dinner. I'll ask Sister Hua to serve the food first."
After saying this, Shao Lin hurried back to his yard.
When Shao Lin came back, almost half an hour had passed.
Mrs. Shao scolded her son in annoyance, "Why are you taking so long to change clothes? It's already dark."
"Wei Fu told me something. Let's eat first. I'm hungry too."
Shao Lin sat down while talking, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a salt-baked chicken leg and was about to put it into Yun Mo's bowl. Yun Mo quickly picked up another chicken leg and put it into Mrs. Shao's bowl.
"Grandma, please eat."
Shao Lin and Mrs. Shao were both stunned.
Shao Lin quickly put the chicken drumstick he had picked up into Mrs. Shao's bowl, "Momo is still sensible, Mom, you eat first."
Looking at the two chicken legs in the bowl, Mrs. Shao glared at her son and said, "I want to eat these two chicken legs, and I don't need to eat anything else."
Mrs. Shao picked one up and gave it back to Yun Mo, "Mo Mo, have one."
"Thank you, grandma."
"How is it, Momo, does this salt-baked chicken taste good?"
Facing Shao Lin's eager eyes, Yun Mo nodded subconsciously, "Yeah, it's delicious, the meat is firm, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, with a special flavor."
"I knew you would like it. And these duck wings are sweet and spicy. I'm sure you will like them too."
Shao Lin picked up a piece of food for Yun Mo from each dish with his chopsticks, and the plate of food in front of her soon piled up into a small mountain.
Tonight is a welcoming banquet specially prepared for Yun Mo and Ling Chuan. Needless to say, the dishes are sumptuous. With the addition of a few special braised dishes that Shao Lin packed back, the table is filled to the brim.
In the main courtyard, three generations of a family were enjoying their meal together, but the scene in the east and west courtyards separated by a wall was quite different.
The East Courtyard was fine, after all, Shao Ying did not take the initiative to cause trouble, and his legs were pecked by two big geese, so he was considered a victim.
Shao Yixuan from the west courtyard was in a miserable state. He was beaten up by Yun Mo, and then was beaten by his father when he returned home. He lost all his face and dignity.
"How could I give birth to a brainless idiot like you? You call her a beast. She and you have the same blood. If she is a beast, what are you?"
Shao Yixuan covered his swollen buttocks and cried until his face was covered with tears and snot.
"I was bullied outside, and instead of helping me vent my anger, you beat me to death. How can you be such a father? Am I your biological son? I must have been picked up from a trash can!"
"You still have the nerve to cry. You can't even beat a girl. If I were you, I would find a piece of tofu and kill myself, or hang myself with a noodle to avoid being embarrassed!"
Shao Yixuan cried loudly, "It was obviously she who attacked me without following martial ethics!"
"Brother, you were the first to hit me the second time, but you still didn't win because I threw you to the ground," 13-year-old Shao Jia told the truth.
“…”
Shao Yixuan's face turned the color of liver.
"You shameful thing, I don't even want to look at you!"
Shao Hong nodded at his son, then walked out angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Shao Yixuan pursed his lips and tears fell down his cheeks. As a young master who had been spoiled since childhood, he had never suffered such humiliation and humiliation.
Looking at her husband who was driven out in anger, and then looking at her son standing by and wiping his tears, Mrs. Shao's heart finally leaned towards her son.
She walked forward and hugged her son, who was now a head taller than her, into her arms, "Okay, okay, stop crying. Are you hurt anywhere? Let mom take a look..."
"I'm not hurt! How could a woman like her hurt me? A good man doesn't fight with a woman, I just let her go..."
"Yes, yes, yes. Mom knows you've been wronged. That girl was too arrogant to dare to lay hands on you. I will ask your uncle for an explanation..."
