As soon as Zhao entered the door, a girl called her her benefactor. Zhao was stunned and looked around before realizing that she was the only one at the door.
"Are you talking to me?" Zhao pointed to herself and asked uncertainly.
Qiu Huiling stood up, walked to the door, and said happily, "Yes! Don't you remember me? At the dock, the boat capsized, and my mother and I fell into the water. We were rescued, but my mother was too weak and was on the verge of death. I asked you for food, do you remember?"
Zhao suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, but she hadn't taken it to heart and forgot about it when she got back. She couldn't even remember it if it wasn't mentioned!
The girl was soaking wet and looked very disheveled back then, but now she is a clean and tidy girl who is also quite good-looking. If you didn't know, no one would recognize her as the same person!
That's quite a difference!
So the Mo family became lively again, which is something to be happy about!
Qiu Huiling was genuinely happy; she never imagined that she would one day visit her benefactor's home!
How many people would believe it if I told them? What a coincidence!
Qiu Huiling was petite and pretty, a real beauty in the farming family. With her knowledge and experience, she quickly became friends with everyone.
She completely overshadowed Zhou Yuzhu next to her, making her seem like just background and a foil.
Grandma Mo didn't say much; guests are guests, so we should treat them well.
Zhou Yuzhu didn't really want to stay there. She asked Old Lady Mo, "Aunt, can the mute girl come out now?"
Grandma Mo glanced at Su Nanxi's door, which was still closed. She didn't know when the mute girl would come out, but she could go and ask.
Su Nanxi had actually prepared the test samples long ago. She was currently preparing mung bean sprouts and she and Mo Qinghe were huddled together watching.
"Honey, these mung bean sprouts look so beautiful! And they taste so good too! What do you think, should we get some and sell them?"
That's not impossible, but who among them has the time to sell them?
"Yes, that's true. My older brother and sister-in-law sell breakfast in the mornings, which is quite tiring. Now that they're building a house, they're even busier. Let's talk about it later! It's been so long, can we eat now?"
Okay, let's cook something for the family for lunch!
"Okay, let's add a fresh dish today! I didn't get to eat any of those last time, so I'm going to eat more this time!"
Okay, eat as much as you can!
There's a lot here, enough to stir-fry two large bowls!
Grandma Mo knocked on the door. "Mute girl, uh, are you still busy? Cousin Yuzhu is here. She wants to talk to you. Do you have time?"
Su Nanxi paused, then winked at Mo Qinghe. When did you arrive?
Mo Qinghe smiled and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Who cares when she came! Since she's come to see you, go if you want, or don't. Anyway, she doesn't know what you want to say."
That's your cousin, you should at least go and meet her, otherwise what if people say I'm too arrogant?
"It's alright, who would dare say that!"
Su Nanxi smiled and pinched his lips, which looked like a duck's flat beak. "Hmm, cute!"
Only then did he happily get up and walk out.
When Zhou Yuzhu saw Su Nanxi come out, she immediately got up and ran over.
Seeing Su Nanxi holding two winnowing baskets, she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what's in here? And why is it covered up so tightly?"
Su Nanxi couldn't answer her, so she put the winnowing basket on the table under the tree, opened it a little to show her, and then closed it again.
There's no way around it; it can't be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise it won't taste as good after photosynthesis.
Zhou Yuzhu looked at it but didn't know what it was. She had an expression that said she wanted to ask but didn't dare to. She watched as Su Nanxi carried the winnowing basket into the kitchen.
When Su Nanxi returned to the table under the crabapple tree, Zhou Yuzhu sincerely thanked her, "Sister-in-law, those hair accessories you gave me are so beautiful! My sister and her family gave them to their daughters to wear, and I must say, they really look gorgeous! My sister and her family told me that if I see you again, I must say thank you!"
Pshaw! It's no big deal!
As long as it looks good and I like it!
Zhou Yuzhu touched her hair again, smiling shyly, "I wore one myself, and I think it looks good. It's a little shameless of me to say I look good! But I really feel that wearing it makes a big difference. I feel like I can stand up straighter."
Su Nanxi could only smile. What she said wasn't wrong. No woman dislikes beautiful things. Wearing it instantly boosted her confidence, straightened her back, and made her smile even sweeter!
To put it simply, I want to show people what I consider to be my most beautiful side!
Perhaps it's a bit of vanity at play, but there's no denying that women really do need these things to adorn and enrich themselves!
Qiu Huiling chatted with Zhou Yuzhu and found that he had gone out and was laughing and talking with someone else. She was a little unhappy and felt that Zhou Yuzhu had abandoned her, but she did not show it on her face.
As expected, the three members of the Wang family stayed for lunch.
When Wang saw that the Mo family had prepared so much food, she was quite surprised. Old Mrs. Mo casually said, "This is for the craftsmen. We'll take it to them after we've eaten."
Wang pressed on, "Is this cooking for someone? This food looks delicious; ordinary people don't even get to eat this well!"
Grandma Mo greeted them, "Come and sit down. This food must be decent. They've worked hard, so it's only right that they eat something good."
Seeing how well the Mo family was eating, Zhou Yuzhu felt envious. She wished her family could have a few meals like that!
Qiu Huiling's first reaction was that the Mo family must have taken on a job cooking for others.
That was her first impression. Seeing how simple and dilapidated the Mo family's house was, she assumed the Mo family must be very poor and looked down on them somewhat, but she didn't show it because they had done her a favor.
Even though she could eat plenty of meat and there were many other dishes, it didn't change her mind.
Su Nanxi washed her hands and went inside to call Mo Qinghe out for dinner.
Mo Qinghe was practicing calligraphy, and the entire sheet of paper was filled with the two characters "wife," written with vigor and strength, yet full of affection.
When Su Nanxi came in and saw it, her heart was filled with sweet joy. She looked at it from left to right with great delight, and thought, "It looks so good no matter how I look at it!"
Seeing his wife laughing like a child, Mo Qinghe chuckled softly, then suddenly thought of a question, "Wife, I've never known your name. Yesterday, Mother gave me our marriage certificate, and the name written on it was Liu Shuyao. Wife, can you remember your name?"
Su Nanxi paused, holding the paper. A marriage certificate?
She really hadn't remembered this. She didn't have many memories of the original owner, but she was sure that the original owner's name wasn't Liu Shuyao!
She didn't remember much about the original owner's name. She had tried to recall it, but couldn't. However, she could vaguely remember that her name contained the character "熹" (Xi), but she didn't know whether it was in the middle or at the end.
"Wife, you mean your name isn't on the marriage certificate!"
