Seeing that she looked relatively healthy, Wu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief, but said with a face full of disapproval, "You child, how dare you not tell us about something so big? If your brother hadn't heard about it from the people at the factory, we wouldn't have known."
"She deserves a beating!" Wu Wanying patted her hand symbolically. "Are you feeling alright?"
Yu Yao shook her head. "No, I'm much better. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. If I told you, you would definitely be very worried, and you might even take a boat to Guangdong to see me right away."
Wu Wanying said awkwardly, her words not being entirely true, "It's not that exaggerated."
Wu Huaiqing smiled and teased, "Little sister, you really know your aunt. You don't know, when your aunt and uncle found out you were so angry that you fainted and were hospitalized, they immediately made me buy a boat ticket to come to Guangdong Province."
"If it hadn't been nighttime and there hadn't been a suitable ship, my aunt and uncle would definitely have gone to Guangdong Province. Since they couldn't go, the two of them spent half an hour at home cursing the person who made you faint, without repeating a single word."
"My parents were yelling at me for half an hour at home?" Yu Yao found it hard to imagine her parents, who were usually mild-tempered and kind, yelling at her.
Wu Wanying was a little embarrassed.
You should know that in her daughter's eyes, she has always been a well-mannered, gentle and kind person who rarely gets angry, let alone scolds people.
Wu Huaiqing was about to say something when Wu Wanying interrupted him, "Alright, alright, child, why are you saying all this?"
Although there's no need to clean the house, there are still quite a few things to do after being away for over a month.
The first thing to do was to go to the old courtyard to collect passion fruit and mangoes.
This batch of passion fruit is ripe; the purple fruits hanging on the tree are a delightful sight. There are also mangoes; Lu Ze planted a variety improved by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences—large, fleshy, and sweet.
Since my elder brother is here, if we don't conscript men now, when will we?
When I arrived at the old residential compound, I could see the lush passion fruit vines on the wooden frame from afar. The green branches were densely covered with purple and red passion fruits, each about the size of a child's fist, and the vines were laden with fruit.
It looks like a bumper harvest.
How could she miss out on something as fun as picking fruit?
Wu Huaiqing was sent by her to pick mangoes.
Yu Yao went to her neighbor Yu Feng's house next door to borrow a ladder, and climbed up the ladder to pick mangoes.
Halfway through the picking, Yu Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Wu Wanying was below, putting the passion fruit she had picked into her basket. "Zhizhi, come down quickly, don't tire yourself out. I heard your factory gave you three days off, so Mom won't go back today. I'll stay here and cook something to nourish you."
Upon hearing about nourishing the body, Yu Yao realized there was something she had forgotten to mention.
Looking at Wu Wanying and Wu Huaiqing picking mangoes beside her, he said guiltily, "Mom, brother, there's something I forgot to mention."
Wu Wanying: "What is it?"
"You must promise me first that you won't get angry."
Wu Wanying smiled and said, "Silly child, why would Mom be angry with you? Tell me."
Wu Huaiqing stopped too. "Sister, you speak."
Yu Yao, perched on the ladder, weakly said, "I'm pregnant."
Wu Wanying, who had been gentle, looked up at Yu Yao, who had just been climbing up and down a two-meter-high ladder to pick passion fruit, as if struck by lightning.
It exploded.
