Chapter 21 Chapter 21 You are so nice
Yu Li was carrying a backpack and holding a wooden barrel in his arms, clearly looking like he was returning with a full load.
However, Old Mrs. Yu could not see these things and was only worried about whether she was going back to her parents' home to eat for free.
Hearing her words, Yu Li said: "I didn't want to eat here originally, but since you said so, let's have dinner here."
Old Mrs. Yu choked up and regretted it so much that she almost wanted to slap herself in the face.
Let you talk too much, let you talk too much!
Hearing the noise, the three Yu Jin sisters came out of the house.
In the past, no matter what happened outside, they would not take the initiative to go over, for fear of being scolded by the old lady.
But isn’t Yu Li back?
"Big sister, you're back." Yu Jin asked with concern, "Why did you come back so late? Are you okay? Are you hungry?"
They all thought that she was just wandering around the outskirts of the mountain and would go back to the Fu family after that, and would usually be back in half a day.
Seeing her like this, I knew that she must have just come out of the mountains, and I couldn't help but worry.
Old Madam Yu turned her back to Yu Li, glared at Yu Jin fiercely, and shouted, "It's getting dark now, I'm going to take a rest, you guys can do whatever you want."
There was a hint of bluff in these words, and anyone who was familiar with the situation could tell.
After saying that, Old Mrs. Yu rushed back to her room and refused to go out again no matter what.
If she knew that the person who came in just now was Yu Li, she would never come out even if she was beaten to death. Didn’t she see that the people from the third room originally wanted to come out to see who came, but when they heard what Old Lady Yu said, they instantly shrank back.
The Yu Jin sisters watched with great joy, covering their mouths with their hands while laughing.
Yu Li didn't care that Old Lady Yu ran away, and said to Yu Jin and the others, "I brought you some fish and fruit."
The sisters entered the main room. The light in the room was dim, so Yu Jin lit the oil lamp.
Seeing the fish in the bucket, the Yu Jin sisters shouted with joy.
There is a river passing through Qingshi Village. If people want to eat fish, they can go to the boat to buy it. But it costs money, and there are many fish bones, so most people are reluctant to spend the money. The Yu family is the same.
Yu Yin likes to eat fish. She likes any kind of fish.
Unfortunately, in the past, when the family rarely bought fish, it was never her sisters’ turn to eat it.
Yu Jin brought over an empty bucket, and Yu Li scooped up half of the fish and put them over, and she took the rest back to the Fu family.
The bucket containing the fish belonged to Yu’s family. She said, “I’ll bring the bucket over tomorrow.”
Yu Jin said happily: "Big sister, come over tomorrow and I will make pickled fish for you."
"OK!"
Yu Li's eyes were bright and lively. He then took out the fruits from the basket and shared them among his three younger sisters.
Seeing the fruits wrapped in leaves and sorted, the three sisters became even happier. They didn't mind that they hadn't been washed yet, and just ate them. While eating, they said, "Sister, where did you pick these raspberries? I rarely see them when I go to the mountains to chop wood."
"Yes, there aren't many taro in the mountains. As soon as they are ripe, they are picked by others."
"This wild grape is sour and sweet, delicious."
Yu Li brought back a lot of wild fruits. Without asking, one could tell that she must have gone into the mountain, not stayed outside it.
Villagers often come to the outskirts to chop wood or pick fruit, but no matter what grows, it will soon be gone.
Only by going deep into the mountains can you pick so many.
The Yu Jin sisters couldn't help but worry, but when they saw that Yu Li didn't take it seriously, they knew that it should be nothing.
The sisters were eating happily when they saw Yu Laoer and his wife coming over.
The smile on Yu Jin's face faded a little, Yu Yin ate the fruit quietly, and only Yu Zhu smiled happily and said, "Dad, Mom, come and eat the fruit. This is what my eldest sister brought back."
Yu Laoer and his wife felt a little awkward, and were also a little surprised to see the fruits on the table.
"Mother Li, did you go into the mountains?" Liu asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Yu Li said: "It's okay."
I won’t say more.
She didn't say anything, and Yu Laoer and his wife didn't know what to say.
Normally the couple are busy and have endless work to do. At the end of the day, they are exhausted and have little time to spare for their four daughters, let alone chat with them.
As time went by, the couple had little to say to their daughters and were not close to them. Only the younger Yuzhu still had a sense of admiration for her parents and was relatively close to them.
Yu Li gave half of the fruit to the Yu Jin sisters, put away the rest, and prepared to leave.
Yu Jin asked: "Sister, do you want to eat something before you leave? I'll make it for you..."
Hearing her words, Yu Laoer and his wife opened their mouths, wanted to say something, and then closed them silently.
There was nothing to eat in the kitchen. If she wanted to cook more, she would have to go to the old lady to get food. Given her stingy nature, this would simply cost her her life.
However, now that the eldest daughter has become very independent, it shouldn't matter even if the old lady scolds her, right?
"No need." Yu Li shook his head. "It's too late. It's a waste of time. I'll go back to the Fu family to eat. They've left some food for me."
Yu Jin looked guilty and said, "Big sister, next time you go into the mountains, I'll save some food for you."
Today they didn't know whether the eldest sister would come over when she came down the mountain, so they didn't think of leaving any food for her. But she came back so late and must have been hungry all day.
Yu Li nodded, put on the backpack, picked up the bucket and left.
Not long after she left, the door to the main room opened and Old Lady Yu came out. Seeing the Yu Jin sisters carrying things back to the west room, she asked, "Why is Li Niang here?"
"Eldest sister sent us something." Yu Yin said in a low voice.
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she immediately became excited and stretched her neck to look over. When she saw the bucket in Mr. Yu's hand, she shouted, "Where did the fish come from?"
"It was my eldest sister who caught it." Yuzhu said, her eyes rolled around but she didn't say where she caught it.
She didn't want everyone to know that there were a lot of fish in the pools in the mountains. What if everyone went into the mountains to catch fish?
Old Mrs. Yu was jealous. The fish looked very energetic. They had been busy picking and drying peanuts recently and were all very tired. Tomorrow would be a good time to have a fish to replenish their energy.
When she saw the fruits in the sisters' arms, she immediately said, "Give them to me! You girls, why are you eating fruits? No matter how much you eat, it's a waste! Don't waste it!"
"No, this is given to us by my elder sister!" Yu Jin said loudly, "If you take it away, I will tell my elder sister tomorrow!"
She also said this to her cousins from the third room. If anyone dared to steal their things, they would complain to their eldest sister.
After hearing this, how could Old Lady Yu dare to accept it?
She cursed and went back to her room angrily.
The sisters looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, but they didn't laugh out loud. However, you could still see their happiness from their bright eyes.
Yu Laoer and his wife were at a loss. Liu whispered, "Don't talk back to your elders."
Her sad face seemed even sadder, as she was afraid that her daughter would be known to be unfilial and would have difficulty finding a husband in the future.
They couldn't control the eldest daughter, but fortunately she was already married. Although the young master of the Fu family was in poor health, at least she had a home. However, the three daughters had not yet been engaged.
The smile on Yu Jin's face froze. He glanced at his parents, said nothing, and went back to his room.
Yu Yin's face also grew darker, and he remained silent as well.
Only Yu Zhu pursed her lips and muttered, "We clearly didn't talk back..."
**
When Yu Li returned to the Fu family, she found that the Fu family had left dinner for her.
Seeing the fish and fruits she brought back, Fu Yanhui and her brother were very happy. They followed Yu Li like little tails, going wherever she went. When she sat to eat, they would hold up their chins and look at her, their little faces full of admiration.
My little aunt is so amazing. She can catch fish and pick so many fruits.
Zhou picked out the damaged fruits that Yu Li brought back, washed the rest, and put them on plates. She put one plate on the table for Yu Li and the two children, and brought the other plate into the room for Fu Wenxiao to taste.
Fu Wenxiao saw the ripe wild fruits, all of which he didn't recognize.
"This is raspberry, this is jackfruit, and this is wild grape...they are all common wild fruits in the mountains here. They grow a lot in the summer and are commonly eaten by country children. Xiao'er, try some too." Zhou said with a smile.
She grew up in Qingshi Village. Country kids didn't have many snacks, so she often went to the mountains to look for food when she was hungry.
Although many years had passed, Zhou found that he still remembered these things.
Fu Wenxiao reached out and took a raspberry, put it in his mouth, and a sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, which was very stimulating.
The expression on his face changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed it, looking calm and composed.
Zhou found it funny and said, "Xiao brother, you still can't stand sour things. In fact, these raspberries are quite sweet." Then she added, "Mother Li has a good eye. She picked some ripe ones. They are only a little sour, which is sweet enough."
Fu Wenxiao drank some water to wash away the sour taste in his mouth and said nothing.
-
When Yu Li returned to the room, he saw the plate of fruit on the table, which was piled high and seemed untouched, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Fu Wenxiao was resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard her words he opened his eyes and looked at her.
"It's delicious." Yu Li said, took a fruit and put it in his mouth, enjoying the sweet and sour juicy taste. The strong fruity flavor spread in his mouth. It was really delicious.
Seeing that she was sincerely inviting him to eat, Fu Wenxiao said, "Thank you, I don't like sour food."
"Is it sour? How could it be? It's obviously very sweet." Yu Li felt that the sourness was nothing and was completely neutralized by the sweetness.
She picked and chose from the fruit plate, and picked out a pure sweet fruit and handed it over, "This one is sweet."
Meeting her bright eyes, Fu Wenxiao took it, twisted it with his fingers and put it into his mouth.
This one is really sweet, she's not lying.
"Sweet, right?" Yu Li asked with a smile.
She felt happy when she ate delicious food, and she thought he should be happy too.
He nodded slightly, "Very sweet."
Yu Li said as he ate the fruit: "Tomorrow I'll find you some pure sweet fruit, I guarantee it won't be sour at all."
Almost all the fruits on the plate went into her stomach, leaving only a few sweet ones for Fu Wenxiao.
Seeing that she was talking non-stop, Fu Wenxiao couldn't help but say, "Don't eat too much before bed, it's hard to digest."
"Is it a lot?" Yu Li blinked and said slowly, "But I'm not full yet..."
Fu Wenxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "...I'll ask mom to cook more rice in the future. If I'm not full, she can tell me."
Yu Li suddenly became happy, "Okay, okay." She looked at him and said sincerely, "Fu... Xiao brother, you are so nice."
When she heard Zhou call him that, she started calling him that too.
Fu Wenxiao's eyelids twitched slightly, and he was speechless.
Is this okay?
This is the first time that someone actually said something nice about him, instead of calling him black-hearted and cold-blooded...
