Without Jiang Yue's guidance, the eldest nephew has already explored a new field.
Her thoughts coincided perfectly. She couldn't see much difference in the recipe, but she believed that as long as her eldest nephew kept improving, the braised food business would definitely be the way out of her family's predicament!
She also stated that if any more thugs or hooligans cause them trouble, they should mention her name.
One should not bully others by virtue of one's power, but one can still intimidate others by using one's reputation.
"Okay, I'll listen to Auntie."
On the day Jiang Lei left, he solemnly bid farewell to his aunt.
The next time we meet will be after the New Year next year. He will do his best to make good braised food, preserve the family business, and not let his aunt down!
"Girl, this is enough. Take care of yourself."
Jiang Nian is probably getting old; he's started to ramble.
He wasn't so sentimental before. Since becoming a grandfather, he has started to reminisce about the past and value family ties even more.
Although my second brother's family used to be a disgrace and I've lost contact with them, they're not doing well now, so he's secretly asking people to help them out, without ever showing his face...
Jiang Yue nodded and gave the same instructions:
"Yes, brother, you too. You should take good care of yourself."
Perhaps due to years of hard work, a patch of white hair has started to grow in my elder brother's hair.
"Sister-in-law, keep a close eye on your brother. Don't let him overwork himself. Let Lei Zi handle things when necessary."
"Okay, I got it, don't worry, that's what I was thinking too~"
Liu held her granddaughter and reluctantly handed her over to her sister. The granddaughter would stay at her sister's house and live with Wan'er for a while to help her change her introverted nature.
As for the daughter, she stayed at her sister's house.
I'll share a room with Yao Yao and wait a while before making any decisions.
"My dear daughter, be good to your parents-in-law, take good care of your husband and children. Everything is fine at home, so don't worry about anything."
As Xiao Zhou spoke, she became reluctant to part with her daughter, but her daughter was already someone else's daughter-in-law and had a new home, so she couldn't force her daughter to stay for too long.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I will."
The young woman handed her son to her husband, then turned and hugged her mother. Urged by her mother, she finally got into the carriage...
Jiang Yu and her aunt stood at the village entrance, watching their family members leave.
She wasn't a child; she understood the deeper meaning behind her mother leaving her behind.
Although embarrassed, I was full of curiosity about what lay ahead.
Jiang Yue had classes to teach in the afternoon, so after settling her niece in, she hurriedly prepared lesson plans and planned the content of her afternoon classes.
Yao Yao usually spends her time in her private laboratory, tinkering with her bottles and jars.
Now that her cousin has arrived, she can't neglect her cousin, nor can she drag her cousin, who knows nothing, into grinding medicine.
So after lunch, she took her cousin to find Xiaoxue.
She remembered Xiaoxue saying that she had been tending to the medicinal herbs in the field recently, and judging by the days, they would be ready to harvest soon, so they could go and help with the picking.
When we arrived at Xiaoxue's house, we saw Aunt Liu washing dishes; it was clear that she and her daughter had already eaten lunch.
"Hey, Yao Yao, is this your cousin? She looks just like your mother, she's grown up to be so beautiful."
Since her parents-in-law passed away, Liu's burden has been lightened considerably, and she has become much more vibrant.
In the past, she would at most smile gently, but this time she was noticeably more lively.
"Auntie, this is my cousin Xiaoyu. She'll be staying with us for a while. I remember Xiaoxue said the herbs in the field are almost ready for harvest, so we've come to help pick them."
Yao Yao has a sweet tongue and is very affectionate towards her sister-in-law's mother.
"Sigh, Xiaoxue only left a little while ago. Tiantian cherishes her herb garden so much, she won't even take a break!"
After washing and drying her hands, Liu muttered to herself as she gestured for the two girls to wait while she went inside to find clean face towels, bibs, and gloves.
When picking medicinal herbs, you need to be fully prepared, otherwise you might scratch your face, prick your hands, or get your clothes dirty.
"They were all washed clean yesterday. You can go and help with the sorting. Your auntie won't object, but you have to take good care of yourselves."
After giving some instructions, Liu helped the girls get dressed.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Yao Yao didn't need to say anything more, and Jiang Yu readily agreed, joining her cousin in shouting.
On the way here, my cousin mentioned that we're very close, and being too polite would be inappropriate.
"Go ahead, don't overdo it, just do it casually~"
Liu originally wanted to say that there was no need to do any work, but considering that the girls had their own way of getting along, she decided not to say it.
"Okay, Auntie, you're busy. We'll be back later."
"Sigh~"
......
Along the way, there were also girls dressed similarly to them traveling together.
Some people know Yao Yao and will come over to say hello.
Yao Yao took the opportunity to introduce her cousin to the other party, and gradually, a group of girls traveled together.
They chatted and laughed, creating a beautiful scene.
In Wujia Village, no medicinal herbs were planted on the farmland, but all the dry land and wasteland that could be planted were planted!
The weather is cool now, with a slight chill in the air.
With the temperature just right, it's harvest time for a batch of seasonal medicinal plants. People from every household come to check on the medicinal fields or to pick the plants.
Xiaoxue's family has three mu of medicinal herb fields, not too many, not too few.
When her grandparents were alive, her mother always took the lead in planting and harvesting.
Later, my grandparents' health deteriorated, and although my eldest sister was married, her husband would come to help when he wasn't busy.
In the past two years, she has grown up a lot. After graduating from school, she began to learn farm work and followed her mother around.
Gradually, she became more and more familiar with farm work.
She tended to the medicinal herb fields with great care.
An old man said that if she were a boy, she would definitely be a skilled farmer.
Hmph, Xiaoxue is not satisfied with this hypothetical scenario.
Are girls not good at farming?
Wu Xiaoxue is determined to be the best among them!
In the neighboring medicinal herb field, a similarly busy young man wiped away his sweat and asked with practiced ease:
"Xiaoxue, I forgot to bring water. Do you have any extra water?"
Xiaoxue's thoughts were interrupted. She stopped walking and reached out her hand, saying:
"Yes, give me your water bag and I'll share some with you."
The person who interrupted her thoughts was Xu Jinbao, Uncle Hu's nephew.
Although not very familiar, it's not unfamiliar either.
Come to think of it, she should call him "brother".
"Okay, thank you."
After thanking him, Xu Jinbao hurriedly went to the edge of the field to search for the water bag.
But he lied.
The water bag was full of water; he just wanted to use it as an excuse to chat up Xiaoxue.
While Xiaoxue was away, he looked around furtively and, like a thief, emptied his water bag, leaving not a single drop. Only then did he get up to ask for more water.
As soon as he stood up, he saw two masked girls staring straight at him—or rather, at the water pouch in his hand.
Uh, how embarrassing, did they not see it?
"Brother Jinbao? Hurry up, I still need to pick herbs."
"Hey, here it comes~"
Never mind, all he could do was make a shushing gesture, then clasp his hands together, begging the two of them not to expose him!
This is roughly the expression and movement; ignore the clothes.
