Su Nanxi replied, "Oh, we're just going to see a friend. That friend is proud and can't bring too much stuff, or they'll overthink it! We'll be back soon, we're just going to ask a few questions."
Grandma Mo didn't think much of it and let Su Nanxi have her way.
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe left in a donkey cart, while Gao Yuling pouted and looked unhappy.
Hmph! Su Su left her at home again!
He doesn't even take her when he meets his friends!
Why bring Mo Qinghe along? He's a guy, how can he chat with her as easily as he does?
Su Su is so stingy, humph! It wouldn't make a difference to bring one more person along, but she still refuses!
"Let's go! It's our turn to stroll through the cornfields again!"
Old Xu shouted at Gao Yuling, scoffing to himself, "Wouldn't it be better to just wander around in the fields? Why do you have to squeeze between a couple and annoy them!"
The corn has sprouted ears, it looks so beautiful, and those tassels are so cute that he wanted to pluck a handful to play with!
Oh! I've never seen one like it before. Oh well, it's so tender and adorable!
Even my old heart was stirred!
They strolled around in the blazing sun without getting tired, and they enjoyed it immensely!
Not just Old Man Xu, but all the other members of the Mo family are the same. Whenever they have free time, they are in the cornfield, pulling out any weeds they see. The cornfield is spotless and weed-free!
Everyone was incredibly excited, eagerly anticipating the harvest and hoping the fruit would ripen quickly so they could eat it!
Ah! Only those who have experienced it can understand that feeling!
Sweet yet agonizing, I happily imagine it, and time always seems to pass too slowly!
Su Nanxi wasn't as excited. After all, she had planted and harvested corn in her previous life, and even had vivid memories of husking corn. So she was only excited when she first saw the corn tassels.
At this moment, she and Mo Qinghe went to Mo Wenying's house. Mo Qinghe had been there before. He had an excellent memory and knew the way, so he didn't need to ask for directions.
On the way, Su Nanxi started teasing Xiao Huahua again, telling it to walk faster and that it would get good food wherever it went. If it was too slow, it wouldn't get any good food.
Little Flower understood and, for the sake of that delicious food, she ran incredibly fast, catching Su Nanxi off guard and almost causing her to fall. Fortunately, Mo Qinghe was watching her closely and pulled her to his side.
Startled, Su Nanxi scolded Xiao Huahua, telling it to accelerate gradually in the future and not to rush all at once, otherwise the reward would be halved!
Little Flower felt wronged; it was all because its owner told it to run faster!
Su Nanxi kept her promise and, after a certain distance, gave Xiao Huahua some delicious food, including her favorite apple and a jar of water.
After eating and drinking my fill, I felt full of energy and ran incredibly fast!
It didn't take long before we arrived at Chenjiachong.
Just from the name, you can tell it's a bit remote, nestled in the mountains!
The road was narrow, overgrown with grass on both sides, and a donkey cart could barely pass through. After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at Mo Wenying's house.
Su Nanxi looked at her hand, which had been cut by the roadside weeds and leaves. There were several bloody marks. Tsk!
It's really not easy to come all this way!
She didn't know the grass here was so lush, otherwise she would have taken precautions earlier. Although she didn't cut it very deep, it was still very unsatisfying!
Mo Wenying's house looks much better than the old Mo family house. At least the yard is quite large and there are quite a few rooms, so it shouldn't be too crowded.
When Mo Wenying saw Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe appear at the gate of the courtyard, she was extremely surprised and could hardly believe that someone from her maternal family had come to see her.
She was chopping pig feed at the time. After snapping out of her daze, she quickly wiped her hands clean and ran out.
Her children were playing in the yard when they saw their mother suddenly run out. Without asking why, they followed her out.
Upon seeing outsiders, they all hid behind Mo Wenying, only timidly peeking out half their heads to curiously observe the person in front of them.
"Third brother, mute mother, what brings you here? Has something happened?"
Mo Wenying craned her neck to look behind her, but saw no one else, so she asked a question.
Su Nanxi said "Oh", "My parents are home and everyone is fine, so don't worry! We were just passing by and saw that we were so close to you, so we thought we'd drop by."
Mo Wenying smiled upon hearing this, but the smile clearly carried a hint of disappointment. She had thought her parents had also come, and her heart had been filled with joy for a fleeting moment!
But then I thought, at this hour, it's unlikely they'll come; if they were to come, it would be in the morning.
After figuring things out, Mo Wenying wasn't so disappointed anymore. She invited Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe to come in and sit for a while, while the string of children behind her moved along with her.
These children clearly didn't remember Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe very well, and were quite shy around strangers.
I stayed at the Mo family's house for several days, and I guess I only got to know the Mo family's children. I'm still not familiar with the adults and am still a little afraid of them.
After Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe came in, Mo Wenying busied herself making tea. Even though Su Nanxi told her not to be polite, she still insisted on making some, saying that it wouldn't be right to not even serve tea to the guests!
Su Nanxi let her have her way, and after she left, she carefully looked around the room.
The house was not small, but it was very shabby inside. There wasn't a single decent piece of furniture, and things were scattered everywhere. Su Nanxi's impression of it was that it was dirty and messy!
Mo Qinghe showed little reaction, probably because he had been here before and had become somewhat immune to it, so he wasn't surprised.
After Mo Wenying served tea, Su Nanxi casually asked Mo Wenying about the Chen family, "Why are you the only one at home? Haven't the Chen family members come back from working in the fields yet?"
"No, they went out to sell cold noodles!" Mo Wenying's expression was a mix of joy and disappointment, her smile a little forced, and her tone somewhat soft. "They'll probably be back a little late."
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe exchanged a glance, both seeing the message in each other's eyes: something's up!
Su Nanxi feigned surprise, "Why are they the ones selling them now? Will they give you the money they receive?"
Mo Wenying lowered her head, looking somewhat sad, and shook her head. "They think I'm not suited for business, so they told me to give them the formula and they'd figure it out themselves. Business isn't good, not many people are buying it, and I won't make much money. Where would they get the money to give me?"
Su Nanxi sneered inwardly, "Heh heh!"
Business is bad?
That stall was the most popular on the street, with the longest queues of customers!
Still not making money? You're kidding me!
No! They're just kidding Mo Wenying!
Su Nanxi was speechless at Mo Wenying's words, "You're just going to hand over the formula when they ask you to? Are you that generous?"
Mo Wenying harbored some resentment towards Su Nanxi. He had made such a good promise that she could make money, but in the end, she hadn't made any money at all, and her husband would come home every day complaining that she hadn't made any money and was exhausted!
She felt ashamed and sorry for her husband, who was exhausted. She took good care of him and even helped him find his clothes!
She works hard at home every day taking care of the children, and she really hopes to have an income!
When asked about it, Mo Wenying got angry, "What's the point of hiding a recipe that doesn't even make money! Just give it away, it's not a big deal!"
Mo Qinghe's face turned cold. How could he speak to his wife like that?
"Your husband and mother-in-law are making so much money they can't keep their hands full, do you think they're not making money?"
