Chapter 79 Street Encounter
The next day, Sister Ying got up early and prepared two pots of buns. She wrapped ten buns in a clean cloth and gave them to Ye Lang. After hesitating for a moment, she wrapped three more and prepared to give them to Ye Mingzhu and the others to try later.
During the meal, Sister Ying only drank the multi-grain porridge in her bowl and did not eat the buns. Feng Guilan knew what she was thinking and put the buns next to her: "Eat it, the family doesn't need a bun from you."
Sister Ying took it and said with a touched look on her face: "Thank you, mother. You are so kind to me."
Feng Guilan waved her hand: "Eat quickly, and leave early after eating. Don't keep Mingzhu and the others waiting."
"Well," Sister Ying took the bun, ate it in two or three bites, and stood up: "Mom, I'm leaving now."
Feng Guilan: ...
There's no need to go so fast, it would be more troublesome if you choke.
Sister-in-law Ying was still waiting at the door to speak to Feng Guilan, and Feng Guilan waved to her obedient eldest daughter-in-law.
Sister Ying took the food to Jiang's house and didn't knock on the door. She waited until Jiang Hongyu came to open the door.
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised to see Sister Ying: "Sister-in-law, you have been waiting outside? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
Sister-in-law Ying smiled awkwardly: "I just arrived too."
In fact, when she arrived, she heard no movement in the yard and was afraid that they had not yet gotten up, so she was embarrassed to knock on the door.
Ye Mingzhu also noticed it, and reached out to pull Sister Ying onto the ox cart, and Jiang Hongyu helped put the food on the cart.
Sister Ying took out a cloth bag from her bag and said, "Mingzhu, have you had breakfast? I made some buns this morning. Try some."
Ye Mingzhu saw that Sister Ying was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others, so she happily took the buns and said, "Okay, I'll try some of the buns made by Sister Ying too."
The buns made by Sister Ying are filled with leeks and eggs. In this season, there are leeks in every household’s vegetable garden, and the most popular buns are filled with leeks and eggs.
Sister Ying put some small shrimps in the buns made, which tasted fresh and different from the buns that the Jiang family had eaten a few days ago.
"These leeks are fresh and taste delicious," Ye Mingzhu praised.
Sister Ying thought of the newly turned vegetable patch in the Jiang family's yard and said with a smile, "I see your sister's vegetable patch has just been turned. Why don't I give you some leek roots? Plant them now so you can have another crop to eat before winter."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I was thinking of planting only cabbage. I'm afraid other vegetables won't grow well."
"I have some spinach and radish seeds. You can take them and plant them. If you take good care of them, you will have more vegetables before winter." Sister-in-law Ying is a good head of household management and she immediately thought of a plan for Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu could only express gratitude: "Thank you, sister-in-law. To be honest with you, I have never farmed before, so I really don't know these things."
As they talked, the relationship between the two people became closer.
Jiang Hongyu looked at the two people who were still a little unfamiliar with each other before they set off, and now they had started to call each other sister.
Ye Mingzhu and her friends came to the county mainly to buy fabrics and deliver blueprints, while Sister Ying mainly delivered food.
Ye Lang was patrolling the streets at this time and was not at home.
After discussing with Sister Ying, Ye Mingzhu sent her to the house rented by Ye Lang first, and agreed to pick her up in an hour.
Jiang Hongyu first sent Ye Mingzhu to Linglong Pavilion. Anyway, there was a cloth shop next to Linglong Pavilion, which was very convenient.
When Mr. Lin knew that Ye Mingzhu had come, he was very happy. He came to greet her in person and asked the waiter to bring over the freshly made snacks.
Ye Mingzhu waved her hand and said no, then asked curiously, "Sister Lin, why do you always have snacks in your shop?"
Lin Dongjia smiled, and sister-in-law Chunhong beside him said, "Dongjia doesn't like to eat in the morning, so he asked someone to prepare some snacks. Later, when he saw that you like to eat, he asked someone to make a plate every day for you to eat when you come."
Lin Dongjia waved his hand at her: "You are the one who talks too much, and I have never seen you eat less."
Having said that, Ye Mingzhu also thanked Mr. Lin.
After they chatted for a few more sentences, Ye Mingzhu asked to leave, but Lin Dongjia refused and insisted that she stay for lunch before leaving. She had no choice but to say that she was going to buy cloth and soap boots.
When Lin Dongjia learned that Jiang Hongyu had become a yamen runner, he was a little surprised, but he quickly asked someone to go next door to get two suitable pieces of cloth, saying that they were gifts for Jiang Hongyu, and he did not allow Ye Mingzhu to refuse.
However, the place selling soap boots was on the next street, so Ye Mingzhu had to go there to buy them herself.
"Sister Ye, I know a few yamen runners in this town. How about I treat everyone to a party?" Mr. Lin was really thinking about Jiang Hongyu.
Ye Mingzhu was grateful, but didn't want to ask for a favor, so she politely declined.
Mrs. Lin sent the three of them to the door and promised that she would host the meal when they came again next time.
Ye Mingzhu agreed with a smile and was about to leave when Lin Dongjia grabbed her hand. Lin Dongjia greeted several people passing by on the street: "Captain Ye, are you on duty today?"
Ye Lang was on patrol when he heard the sound and came to Linglong Pavilion.
Lin Dongjia introduced the two parties with a smile and said that Jiang Hongyu would also come on the first day of next month.
Ye Lang had already received the news that a new person was coming. Seeing Jiang Hongyu's imposing appearance and bright eyes, it was obvious that he had martial arts skills, and the expression on his face did not show any rejection.
Ye Mingzhu had already spoken: "Hello, cousin."
Cousin?
Ye Lang was stunned for a moment, his gaze shifting from Jiang Hongyu to Ye Mingzhu. After thinking for a while, he asked hesitantly, "Are you, Mingzhu?"
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that cousin Lang still remembered me. Sister Ying came with us today and is waiting for you at home."
Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "I didn't expect you guys are from the same family. It seems I don't need to introduce you."
"Thanks to Sister Lin, otherwise I might not be able to recognize cousin Lang when I see him."
Ye Lang is ten years older than Ye Mingzhu. He only knew that Ye Mingzhu had a strong talent for the sea life, but he didn't expect that she had such a good relationship with the owner of Linglong Pavilion.
But he was on duty right now, so it was inconvenient for him to say too much. We just agreed to go to his place at noon to talk in detail.
Before leaving, Ye Lang greeted Jiang Hongyu: "I didn't expect you to be my brother-in-law."
Jiang Hongyu clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on."
Ye Lang agreed with a smile, gestured to Lin Dongjia, and then continued his patrol.
Ye Mingzhu also wanted to buy some black boots, so she said goodbye to Mr. Lin.
Just after walking a few feet away, I saw Ye Yunkang and Lu Jingya coming towards me.
Ye Mingzhu didn't want to talk to them and looked to the side. Jiang Hongyu turned sideways and stood next to her, but Ye Yunan turned back quietly to glance at her.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunkang had such sharp eyes that when he saw Jiang Hongyu, he naturally saw Ye Mingzhu behind him and the cloth in their hands.
"Mingzhu, this is the new fabric you bought. It looks really good. Give me some."
Ye Mingzhu knocked away Ye Yunkang's outstretched hand, letting Jiang Hongyu take a step back while holding the cloth. She said, "Why? Because you're so shameless?"
Ye Yunkang was caught off guard and his hand was hurt. He angrily said, "Because I'm your second cousin."
Ye Mingzhu sneered: "Which second cousin asked his cousin for something in the street? Isn't it shameful to say it out loud?"
Lu Jingya listened to this and said softly, "We are all family. If you buy it, we don't have to buy it, right, Brother Yu?"
