Lu Yun also refused: "Sister Ye, no need, this one is fine."
This meat bun is big and delicious, with lots of meat inside; it must be very expensive.
Ye Zhiyu, however, stuffed the things into her arms without saying a word. She felt that Lu Chen was one of her own, so what did a few buns matter?
"Let's go quickly. I ate one of these buns yesterday, one this morning, and another for lunch. Even if it's delicious, I'll get tired of it eventually. If we leave it here any longer, it will go bad, which would be a waste. Wasting food is shameful."
If others heard this, they would be green with envy. They can't even afford meat, and she's already tired of saying it.
“This…” Lu Jun looked at Lu Chen with difficulty.
Lu Chen confirmed that Ye Zhiyu was serious, nodded to his little sister, and said it didn't matter. He would find her something to eat later if she got hungry.
Ye Zhiyu was genuinely tired of it; she didn't like eating fatty meat in the first place.
The bun was filled with the aroma of fatty meat, which she could accept at first, but by the end she felt like throwing up.
So much so that even after Lu Chen finished all four big steamed buns, she still had a small half left in her hand.
He was still slowly chewing it.
He stared at the steamed bun in his hand with a bitter and resentful look.
Lu Chen was somewhat worried. Not only did he eat little, but he was also a picky eater. No wonder he was so thin. How could he get enough nutrition?
But I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I told her, "If you don't want to eat, force yourself."
"No, I can't throw it away!" Ye Zhiyu prepared to close her eyes and stuff the bun into her mouth, looking as if she was ready to die.
The next second, "Give it to me, I'm not full."
Lu Chen took the bun and ate it in one bite.
Ye Zhiyu stared blankly at him; that...that was what she had eaten.
However, Lu Chen remained composed, so she didn't bring it up.
He awkwardly changed the subject: "Um, after we finish delivering the grass to Niu Niu and me, let's go up the mountain together."
As Ye Zhiyu's gaze and the topic shifted, Lu Chen's tense body relaxed, but his inner self was not as calm as he appeared.
"OK."
She didn't ask what they were going to do on the mountain; as long as he was with her, she wouldn't let anything happen to her, even if he died.
......
Lu Yun started shouting as soon as she entered the house.
"Mother, look what I brought back."
While Tian Hongfang was focused on tending the fire in the kitchen, her hand trembled and she almost got burned.
"What are you doing, making such a racket? You scared me."
Having been scolded, Lu Yun grinned and approached her, presenting her with a treasure: "Mom, look, a big meat bun."
Tian Hongfang asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?"
Then she remembered that her daughter was close to Ye, the educated youth, and hurriedly said, "Niu Niu, did your sister Ye give it to you? I know you two are close, but we can't just take things from others, you know? Didn't I teach you that before?"
The old man went to a meeting in town before and brought back a few things. Each one cost 50 cents and required a meat ration coupon. She scolded him for being wasteful.
These three cost 1.5 yuan. You can't take advantage of someone who has money just because you're not related to them.
Thinking that the child is still young, I will teach her slowly.
She hadn't figured out how to say it without hurting her child's self-esteem when her daughter's words struck her like a thunderbolt.
"But my second brother agreed to let me take it back."
Tian Hongfang's hands trembled. "Who...who did you say?"
She hoped she had misheard.
"Second brother, I originally refused too, Mother, did I do something wrong?"
Seeing her mother's expression, Lu Yun slumped down.
Tian Hongfang forced a smile and said, "That's right, Niu Niu listens to your second brother. It was your mother who didn't understand the situation. I apologize to you."
Lu Jun was immediately appeased, "It's okay, as long as Niu Niu didn't do anything wrong."
Tian Hongfang absentmindedly shared a steamed bun with her daughter.
You little rascal, you'll be back soon.
......
At this moment, Lu Chen and Ye Zhiyu were gathering herbs in the deep mountains.
He followed Ye Zhiyu to a place he had never been before.
The mountains and fields are covered with astragalus and goji berries.
There's no way to pick them all, there's simply no way to finish picking them all.
This is already deep in the mountains, and the location is very difficult to find. If an ordinary person were to come in rashly, they would definitely get lost. Even Lu Chen, who prides himself on knowing the mountain paths well, is not confident that he can get out.
Before long, Ye Zhiyu shook her hands to relieve the soreness; the object was too small and was damaging her fingers and wrists.
Lu Chen said with heartache, "Don't do it anymore, leave these to me."
Ye Zhiyu glared at him and said, "There are so many, even if you had four hands you couldn't finish them all."
"None of these are as important as you. Listen to me, sit down and rest."
Lu Chen said in an unyielding tone.
Ye Zhiyu's eyes lit up. "Lu Chen, why don't you invite your uncle and aunt to come along? They can pick all of these and sell them for money. It'll be a pretty good income. How about we split it in half?"
Lu Chen, who was focused on his work, refused without even thinking.
"No need, these are all yours. I'll give you the money for these and the money for the ginseng last time after I've dealt with them."
He knew she was rich and didn't care, but that wasn't a reason for him to take these things for himself.
My mind involuntarily went astray:
Fool, does she know how much money she could make selling these high-quality, large quantities of these things?
Ye Zhiyu was unhappy. When Lu Chen's words reached her ears, she felt that he wanted to distance himself from her and didn't want to have anything to do with her.
She had exhausted all her spiritual energy to find this place that morning, intending to use it to make it up to him, but she never expected that he didn't care at all.
She pouted and said, "If you don't want it, then I don't want it either. Stop doing it, you're wasting your time. Just go."
