The first signs of rebellion are emerging...
Just as Xiao Jiu was still chewing on her pen, Ling Jin had already opened the door:
"Yingying? Xiaoyu? What brings you two sisters together? Come in quickly~~"
Ling Jin had been worried sick about her daughter for several days, and only when she saw her did she finally feel relieved.
While she was outside, Ye Wanying had already told her cousin not to mention that she had been to the hospital.
Naturally, Ye Xiaoyu wasn't one to talk too much and wouldn't say anything.
"Hello, Aunt Zheng!" Xiaoyu called out.
Ling Jin knew that her sister's family had always treated Xiao Yu, their niece, like their own daughter, so they wouldn't stand on ceremony this time.
Moreover, her own daughter has a very good relationship with this cousin, so Ling Jin wouldn't have any bad impression of Ye Xiaoyu.
"You haven't eaten yet at this hour, have you?"
"Hmm, no, have you eaten?" Ye Wanying replied naturally.
Ling Jin shook her head in agreement:
"We haven't had any yet. We got up late this morning and ate a little later, so we didn't have lunch as early as usual. It's about time now. I'll go to the kitchen to see what we have and then get ready. Yingying, you sit with Xiaoyu for a while."
The food at Lingjin is pretty good, and unlike my hometown where we still burn coal and firewood, this place uses natural gas, which is much more convenient. One person is enough to run the kitchen.
"Great, have the tomatoes in the backyard started bearing fruit yet?"
"Yes, there are so many fruits. If you want to eat them, go and pick some."
Homegrown cherry tomatoes are indeed quite sour, but they taste really fresh and delicious.
"Xiaoyu, let's go."
Ye Xiaoyu twitched the corner of her mouth:
"Sis, are you really going?"
"Of course we have to go! Let's go, hurry up! There are so many tomatoes, they'll rot on the ground if we don't pick them, what a waste! We need to make the most of them, you know how to be economical?"
Haha, is the word "thrifty" really used in this context?
It seems I've never actually heard of it before.
Inside, Xiao Jiu must have heard the familiar sounds outside. She completely abandoned her homework, tossed aside her chewing pencil, and ran outside.
"Aunt Yingying, Aunt Yingying!"
Forehead?
Ye Wanying and Ye Xiaoyu both stopped, and the next moment, Xiao Jiu's figure rushed out of the house.
"Aunt Yingying~"
"Eh~"
By this time, Xiao Jiu had rushed to Ye Wanying's side, only to realize that her beloved little brother Tuanzi hadn't come:
"Hello, Aunt Xiaoyu!"
Ye Xiaoyu and Xiao Jiu had met several times and were fairly familiar with each other.
"Hello Xiaojiu."
The way they greeted each other was kind of funny.
It was exceptionally formal.
It was intentional!
"Aunt Yingying, are you going to the backyard?" Xiao Jiu guessed as soon as she saw the direction the two were heading.
This little brain of hers is actually quite sharp.
"yes."
Want to pick cherry tomatoes?
Otherwise, they couldn't have gone to pick Chinese cabbages, could they?
There's no need to hear an answer anymore, speak again:
"Aunt Yingying, I'll go with you. Xiao Jiu will help you pick them."
Neither sister refused, nor did they have any reason to refuse:
"OK!"
......
Once we got to the small field in the backyard, we could see from a distance that the tomato seedlings were indeed laden with fruit, bright red and quite a sight.
Xiao Jiu is quite agile; it seems he often wanders around here.
"Aunt Yingying, let Xiao Jiu help you pick them. You can stand here so you don't get cold. Those tomatoes can freeze."
