They'll be cooking more food over there; your aunt means we won't be eating at the old house tonight.
After you finish lunch, when you go home, each family should bring back two bowls.
Don't worry, those dishes haven't been touched; they'll be portioned out in advance.
As for your aunt, she had something to do and went home while you were cooking.
Your aunt has a lot on her plate. After the wedding ceremony, we'll accompany her to Xishan to collect some things.
"You should go there soon and lend your aunt a hand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yejun's eyes lit up. Seeing that Chi Yu was already eating noodles, he couldn't help but ask:
"Auntie, my husband said that you carried a lot of things back last night."
Are they like the potatoes in our backyard? Are there many this time?
My family isn't from Chijia'ao. Could you share some land with my parents?
As you know, my dad's health has improved, and my mom's eyesight can see further than before.
Since my brother will be away taking the imperial examination, there won't be much for anyone in the family to do, so I thought I'd let them do some farming too.
My husband said that the potatoes in the backyard are a high-yield crop.
There's a food shortage everywhere right now, and the area around my mother's house is all empty. My parents can clear out some land to farm.
"No matter how much is produced, it's still a harvest, and I won't have to worry about them lacking food all the time."
Chi Yu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and turned to look at her.
"Sure, but not now. Like the people in Chijia'ao, we'll have to wait a few more days."
Lord Fang's visit this time is not only for my wedding with your uncle, but also for these grains.
I'll let him take some first, and then we'll figure out how to divide the rest.
"After all, there's not much food. Whether we can eat our fill and whether we can earn money next year all depends on this."
Upon hearing the phrase "fish in a pond," Chen Yejun nodded excitedly.
"Auntie, thank you so much, really, thank you so much."
"A few days later is fine, we can wait."
As she spoke, she turned to Chen Xiaomai and said, "Mother, I'll set aside some things for my husband and his family first, and send the rest to my parents' home."
"Also, tell my parents about this and ask them to clear the land before it gets too hot."
Without waiting for Chen Xiaomai's reply, she left excitedly.
Chen Xiaomai hurriedly chased after her, saying, "Big sister, wait a minute."
Shen Yejun turned to look at Chen Xiaomai, puzzled.
"Mother, is something the matter?"
"Your aunt has limited possessions and can't give you too much."
I know your house is big, but there aren't many trees there.
As the weather gets hotter, even if the things your aunt gives you are drought-resistant, they won't withstand the sun.
Look at our backyard, the area where we planted potatoes, we also planted some trees there.
There are trees providing shade when you turn around, so you won't get sunburned.
When your family wants to cultivate the land, consider whether to plant it in baskets or something, like they did last winter when they planted vegetables.
Or, you could dig up a few trees from your mother's side and plant them before it gets too hot and the trees can still survive.
By the way, did you dig your mother's family's cellar too big? Try to make it as big as possible.
After all, on your mother's side, there are either people in poor health, or the elderly and the young.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Yejun's face broke into a rare sweet smile.
"Don't worry, Mother, the cellar is finished."
My parents, brother, and sister-in-law have been digging all along, and my brother's students also help out during their days off.
"But Mother, about the tree you mentioned, I'll go back later and discuss it with my parents and brother."
