"It should be just one or two days. Since I came back last Sunday, I have been talking about you to me." Zhang Fengxia put the steamed buns on the edge of the pot and covered it with the lid.

Her daughters and daughters-in-law get along well with each other, and she is happy as a mother.

"Zhihuan, would you like some?" Zhou Xiuqiao took out a cucumber from the basket and waved it at Shen Zhihuan.

The old variety of cucumbers are long and thin, and emerald green, just like the finest imperial green jadeite.

It whets your appetite at first sight.

Shen Zhihuan smiled and nodded.

Fruits are a rare commodity these days. Many people may not be able to eat fruit once a year. Those who can eat fruit are those from the best families.

Although most people do not have fruits to eat, there are many substitutes.

Cucumbers, radishes...

It's crunchy when you take a bite.

There are also the sour and sweet wild fruits on the mountain, which are delicacies in the eyes of adults and children.

"Mom, I want one too." Little Qiping jumped over.

"Little greedy cat!" Zhou Xiuqiao scratched Xiao Qiping's nose lightly.

The mother and son went to the well together. As soon as the cucumber touched the water, little Qiping's mouth was drooling with greed.

The way he swallowed his saliva made Zhou Xiuqiao speechless.

Those who know would think that the little guy is greedy, while those who don’t would think that she, as his mother, is mistreating him by not giving him food.

After washing, Zhou Xiuqiao broke off a piece for him.

As soon as he got the cucumber, Xiao Qiping stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word...

The way he ate voraciously looked like a refugee who hadn't eaten for three days.

"Be careful not to choke." Zhang Fengxia frowned.

Zhou Xiuqiao smiled, cut the remaining cucumber in half, and handed half to Shen Zhihuan.

After taking the cucumber, Shen Zhihuan had no time to eat it when a tall figure appeared at the kitchen door.

"Shen Zhihuan..." Su Ziyu's voice was very soft.

But it made Shen Zhihuan's legs inexplicably weak.

As long as a man calls her by her full name, it is definitely not a good thing.

"I said I got it for you, do you believe me?" Shen Zhihuan smiled uglier than crying.

"Tell me, do I believe it or not?" Su Ziyu raised his eyebrows.

“…”

You bastard! I said I believe it, can you promise?

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was silent and looked so pitiful, the balance in Zhang Fengxia's heart suddenly tilted.

She rushed to the kitchen door, raised her hand and patted Su Ziyu on the arm.

"It's just a small piece of cucumber, it's not rat poison, why can't we eat it?!"

She knew that her son was worried about his daughter-in-law's health, but he was being too much.

It's just a small piece of cucumber, not medicine, so how can it be so effective?

"Mom, your daughter-in-law can't even finish half a bowl of rice in a meal recently. Do you think she can still eat these appetite-killing things?" Su Ziyu patiently reasoned.

The young wife used to be able to eat half a bowl of rice even if she had no appetite, but now she always leaves half a bowl of rice.

Man is iron and food is steel.

Even a strong man can’t stand not having enough food.

After hearing what her son said, Zhang Fengxia also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Mom will go up the mountain to pick some jujubes for you later. The jujubes are delicious at this time. Don't eat these now."

Zhang Fengxia took the cucumber from Shen Zhihuan's hand as if she was coaxing a child.

“…”

Shen Zhihuan sighed in his heart.

Her mother-in-law is really a rolling pin...

Unstable stance.

As soon as Zhang Fengxia finished speaking, Su Ziyu took out a big bag from behind him.

Jujube, wax gourd, sea buckthorn, twisted fruit, chestnut...

Put them one by one into the vegetable colander.

A bag of wild fruits filled four large baskets.

"Where did you pick so many wild fruits, kid?" Zhang Fengxia also smiled and leaned over to take a look.

At this time of year, there are many wild fruits on the mountain, but there are also many people in the village!

This one leaves, that one comes; that one leaves, this one comes.

Back and forth.

The wild fruits had not yet fully ripened when they were picked by the adults and children in the village, leaving only a few.

"This wild fruit is really delicious." Zhou Xiuqiao's eyes lit up slightly.

Zhou Xiuqiao's mother is well-known in their village for being biased. In her eyes, her daughter is just a money-loser and someone else's family member.

Normally, any good thing she had would go into her precious son's mouth.

The two girls could only watch with dry eyes.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhou Xiuqiao's sister is sweet-talker and can make her mother happy, so even if she doesn't eat well, she can still eat her fill.

Zhou Xiuqiao, who can't please others, is in trouble.

Not only can you not see any good things, but you also go hungry every other day.

If she eats one more bowl of wild vegetable soup, her mother will scold her as a glutton.

Over time, Zhou Xiuqiao didn't dare to add more wild vegetable soup even if she was not full.

Whenever she was hungry, Zhou Xiuqiao liked to go to the mountains to find some wild fruits to fill her stomach.

She had touched almost all the mountains and hills near their Zhoujia Village.

Where are the wax gourds, where are the sea buckthorns, where are the mulberries, where are the wild persimmons...

She knows everything.

She had been eating wild fruits for more than ten or twenty years, but she had never even seen such good wild fruits, let alone eaten them.

Shen Zhihuan said that she had never seen wild fruits of such good quality.

She has been here for a year and has been to the mountain several times. The wild fruits she has seen are generally the ones left over by others. They are either crooked or very small.

It tastes sour at first glance.

Shen Zhihuan couldn't stop drooling just thinking about it.

"I picked them from the back mountain." Su Ziyu picked a few plump jujubes and handed them to his young wife.

Little Qiping grabbed a wax gourd that was thicker than his arm and started eating it.

Zhou Xiuqiao also likes to eat wax gourd, not only because it tastes good, but also because it can satisfy your hunger.

Unlike sea buckthorn, jujube, and jujube, not only do they not satisfy your hunger, but the more you eat, the hungrier you get.

Zhang Fengxia looked at the wild fruits in the large basket, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.

Su Ziyu picked a ripe wax gourd and handed it to his mother, saying with a smile, "Mom, these wild fruits were picked for you by your son at the risk of his life. You are not allowed to give them to outsiders."

Zhang Fengxia smiled and glared at him.

"Are you treating your mother like a three-year-old child?"

Pick the ones for your wife. Pick them for your wife.

And you picked it for her?!

Before he got married, he had never picked up any wild fruit peels.

Now that he has a wife, he thinks of picking wild fruits for her? ! Only a fool would believe him!

but……

Her son's words reminded her.

She had indeed just...

Zhang Fengxia suddenly thought of something and looked up at her biological son.

Su Ziyu also met her gaze.

Mother and child are connected by heart; one look is enough to explain everything.

Zhang Fengxia sighed secretly and put her thoughts to rest.

Shen Zhihuan was such a smart person, how could he not see the eye contact between Su Ziyu and his mother.

She lowered her eyebrows slightly and ate the jujube in her hand slowly and carefully savored its flavor.

It tastes rich and sweet, but becomes a little astringent after chewing for a long time...
