The Mo couple returned, but they were in terrible condition, looking as if they had been dragged into a demon's cave and had their yang energy sucked away!
He looked completely listless, his complexion was sallow, and his dark circles were as bad as a panda's!
The clothes seem to be the same ones I wore when I visited my parents' home. They're all wrinkled, and, to be honest, they smell really strong!
The Mo family was somewhat shocked. He had only been back for a few days, and he had already become such a horrible mess!
No one would disagree that I was completely drained!
Su Nanxi's heart pounded. Could it be that the person couldn't be saved and had passed away?
Looking at his grief-stricken appearance, it seems so!
Zhao looked blank, as if she had just experienced the grief and pain of losing a loved one!
Mo Lao Er was a roughneck, a bit more energetic than Zhao Shi, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He guessed that none of these people had shaved, and their faces really looked like those of a homeless person!
The children from the second wife noticed that something was wrong with their parents, so they didn't dare to approach any further and stood aside watching with some fear.
It's no wonder the children were scared; they had never seen their parents look like that before, and it was terrifying for them!
Mo Dong was too young to cry out loud, but tears streamed down his face like they were free!
Perhaps it was a sense of kinship, but the two older sisters also had tears in their eyes, hugging their younger brother and comforting each other.
Old Mrs. Mo was more knowledgeable. As soon as she saw this, she roughly understood what was going on, and her expression also turned sour.
She nudged Mo Lao Er, "Hurry back and get yourself ready, fetch some water for your wife to take a good bath, and then get a good night's sleep! Now that you're home, don't worry too much, we'll take care of everything!"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Mo Lao Er seemed to remember something. His throat tightened, his eyes instantly reddened, he gritted his teeth, nodded, and let out a soft "Mmm!"
After Mr. and Mrs. Mo left, Mrs. Mo said to everyone present, "They've been taking care of the elderly and haven't had much rest. They're just overworked, but it's nothing! Once they get some sleep and are feeling better, they'll naturally have more energy! Everyone, don't worry or be afraid. We can just go about our business!"
Children might believe this, but adults, with their eyes and brains, won't believe it all, at least not the important parts!
To be honest, even the kids didn't quite believe it. Mo Dongmei asked, "Grandma, is it like when we don't get enough sleep and feel very sleepy, like we want to sleep even when we're walking?"
The children all looked at Grandma Mo, hoping to hear a positive answer, because they were truly scared and worried!
Grandma Mo smiled kindly. "Yes! That's right! You two don't take a nap, so when it's almost dinnertime, aren't you especially sleepy, unable to keep your eyes open, and completely lacking energy? Right? That's exactly what they're like now! They haven't had a proper rest! A nap will do the trick! Alright, everyone go back to your work!"
Grandparents hold a very special position in the family; they are the pillars of a child's world!
Seeing that Grandma Mo had a smile on her face and no sadness at all, the children felt greatly comforted. After thinking about it, they realized that it made sense, so they stopped worrying and quickly returned to normal.
Su Nanxi didn't think that way. She saw Mo Laotai's smile clearly and deliberately faked it, forcing it out!
It seems there's something going on with this couple, not just the grief of losing someone, there must be something else!
Su Nanxi guessed that it was related to Zhao's brother and sister-in-law. Neither Luo nor Liu were easy people to get along with. Seeing Zhao riding back in an oxcart, the subsequent developments would definitely be very interesting!
Forget it, she won't speculate anymore. She'll wait until Zhao has rested, calmed down, and is willing to talk before she can make a decision.
Let's process the chili peppers first.
Qin asked Mo Jiarong to call Zhang Cuicui over. Zhang Cuicui happened to be home. Upon hearing that Su Nanxi was looking for her, she immediately put down what she was doing, quickly washed her hands, and followed Mo Jiarong.
When I arrived at the Mo family's house, wow, they had picked red berries!
I called her over so I could teach her how to handle chili peppers on the spot.
Very good!
She's been thinking about this constantly. The peppers in the field are getting redder and more plentiful, but she still doesn't know what to do with them, and she's getting anxious!
She saw that the mute girl's family planted so many, and on a whim, she decided to plant them too. Her family didn't really approve of her planting so many, since they would be worthless if there were too many!
Almost everyone in the village grows some, but if it's really fresh and you want to sell it for a high price, you can't have too much! Too much will spoil the market!
These are lessons learned over decades!
But for some reason, she trusted the mute woman and secretly went to cultivate wasteland and planted a lot of plants!
After watering and fertilizing the plants, and finally getting a harvest, I don't know how to sell it. That's driving me crazy!
When she asked the mute woman for the method, it was only on a whim. After returning home, she felt that the mute woman was probably just talking and wouldn't actually teach her!
Didn't you see that Auntie's family also grows a lot?
If there's a way to make money, wouldn't everyone prioritize their own interests first?
This is something anyone would do, and she can't say anything about it.
Unexpectedly, the mute woman wasn't just talking; she actually started teaching!
"As you can see, I called you here to teach you how to make a delicious and easy-to-sell sauce! It's not difficult; as long as you pay attention, you might remember it after watching it just once! Watch first, don't rush to thank me. You know me, I don't have much patience to teach people, so watch carefully. If you don't understand, just ask. It's okay!"
Su Nanxi spoke directly to Zhang Cuicui, which moved Zhang Cuicui so much that she almost cried.
Zhang Cuicui understood perfectly well that the mute woman had no patience and a bad temper, but she had the right to be like that!
If the mute woman were to tell the villagers that she was going to teach them how to make chili sauce, they would definitely flock to her. Even if she was scolded, many people would still squeeze in!
Therefore, Zhang Cuicui was incredibly lucky to be taught by a mute woman alone; it was an immense honor!
She absolutely could not let down the mute woman's good intentions!
Zhang Cuicui certainly didn't disappoint Su Nanxi. This young wife really put in a lot of effort, without even blinking an eye. She didn't understand the weight of the task and asked questions.
Madam Qin and Old Lady Mo were naturally helping out, but it would be more accurate to say they were learning!
Yes! I'm busy working while learning, silently memorizing the procedures in my mind.
Su Nanxi had only made chili sauce twice before, and those were both experiments. This time, she made many improvements, so naturally, I had to learn from her!
After a series of steps, Zhang Cuicui, with her sharp mind and quick wit, had almost mastered the recipe for chili sauce, and all that was left was to put it into practice.
"That's it! You might be a little confused the first time you see it, but you'll get used to it after watching it a few more times. Try it out yourself, think about it, and you'll rarely fail!"
Even failed attempts taste good!
Su Nanxi didn't dare to say it, only that more practice would correct the flavor!
"Oh dear! Did I disturb you? Is the mute woman home?"
