Under the shade of a small tree, Ye Jianjun told Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan everything that happened at home in the afternoon.
Liu Cuilan was incredulous. "You said your little sister made some candy?"
"Yes!" Ye Jianjun nodded vigorously. "This peach syrup is made from the sour wild peaches that grow in the mountains behind our village."
Ye Dagang took a big gulp and smacked his lips. "It tastes really good."
"How can it not taste good if I add sugar?" Liu Cuilan took a sip and was reluctant to drink it.
"Hey, brother, sister-in-law, what delicious food are you eating?" A sharp voice came from Yu Dahong, the wife of Ye Dagang's second brother Ye Dawei.
"It's none of your business." Liu Cuilan's face immediately darkened.
"If it's not my business, then it must be my parents' business, right?" Yu Dahong had a keen nose and had already smelled a sweet smell.
Ye Dagang winked at Ye Jianjun, and Ye Jianjun understood.
With a quick step, Ye Jianjun stood between Yu Dahong and Ye Dagang and his wife.
"Second Aunt, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Your parents understand. Get out of my way."
Ye Jianjun was tall and strong, blocking Yu Dahong's sight.
Ye Dagang took the opportunity to quickly drink the peach syrup in his hand.
By the way, he also freed up his hands and pulled Liu Cuilan to drink together.
Liu Cuilan understood what he meant and drank it quickly.
By the time Ye Jianjun moved away, Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan had already drunk up all the sugar water in the enamel cup, not a drop left.
"Oh, second sister-in-law, your eldest brother and I really didn't eat anything good. We just drank some water to quench our thirst."
Liu Cuilan’s words made Yu Dahong very angry.
In the end, Yu Dahong, who didn't get any benefits, could only leave angrily.
"Dad, Mom, you guys take a break, I'll help you with the work."
Ye Jianjun picked up the hoe on the ground and continued to weed.
"You little bastard, put on your hat." Liu Cuilan threw the hat on her head towards Ye Jianjun.
"Yes, mother!" Ye Jianjun picked up the hat and put it on his head with a playful smile.
"You're such a chatterbox." Liu Cuilan cursed angrily.
Here on the hillside, everyone is having fun.
The other side of the hillside is not so harmonious.
Yu Dahong was so angry that he yelled at his two daughters as soon as he returned to his mission site.
The three girls were busy weeding and didn't dare to breathe.
Yu Dahong stopped cursing until he got tired of it.
However, she won't let it go.
Isn’t the daughter of the eldest brother’s family going to marry that soldier?
The soldier was obviously a wealthy man. The eldest brother's family must have made a lot of money by marrying off their daughter.
Otherwise, how can you afford to drink soda?
She couldn't bear to drink that stuff.
Don't think she won't know just because you drink from an enamel cup.
She has a very sensitive nose!
A hint of greed flashed in Yu Dahong's eyes. She had to have a good talk with her mother.
"You guys hoe the rest of the land, I'll go home and cook."
"Ask mom for some money to buy some meat. I'm exhausted after a day's work."
Ye Dawei was lying in the shade of a tree and said something to Yu Dahong.
"Okay!"
Yu Dahong licked his lips, picked up the hoe and ran away quickly.
Ye Dawei and his two daughters Ye Dani and Ye Erni were left working in the fields.
He looked up and saw the sun in the sky. Ye Dawei turned over and continued to sleep.
As for Ye Dani and Ye Erni, they lowered their heads silently and continued to work.
This has always been the case in their family, and the two of them have gotten used to it.
…
As soon as Ye Liuqing returned home, he smelled a strong peach fragrance.
In the yard, on the bamboo sieve, slices of peach flesh appeared a transparent amber color under the setting sun.
very nice.
"Little sister, you're back?" Ye Jianhua walked out of the kitchen.
"Second brother, please help me clean up these fish." Ye Liuqing handed the fish basket to Ye Jianhua.
"No problem." Ye Jianhua took the fish basket and went back into the kitchen.
Ye Liuqing walked towards the vegetable garden in the backyard.
Liu Cuilan is a good worker and does all the work at home and outside beautifully.
The vegetables in this vegetable garden are growing very well.
After taking a look at the vegetables in the vegetable garden, Ye Liuqing had a recipe for tonight in his mind.
Ye Liuqing picked some eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and two large lettuces.
For dinner, just a simple braised fish, salad lettuce, and fried eggplant, one meat and two vegetables, that’s enough.
My second brother has already cooked corn porridge.
She added a chive pancake, and that was about right.
By the time Ye Liuqing finished picking the vegetables and returned to the kitchen, Ye Jianhua had already cleaned the two fish.
Ye Liuqing didn't see Ye Jianjun at home, "Where's the third brother?"
"After delivering sweet soup to my parents at noon, he never came back." Ye Jianhua was also curious about where Ye Jianjun had gone.
"Smells good, I'm back!"
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Ye Jianjun carried a hoe and walked into the yard.
"Where have you been?" Ye Jianhua shouted at Ye Jianjun in the yard through the small window in the kitchen.
"Help my parents with the work!" Ye Jianjun put the hoe in the tool shed next to the kitchen.
Ye Jianhua was completely shocked. "When did you become so diligent?"
"It won't last many days anyway!" Ye Jianjun smiled complacently. "Once my sister's business gets off the ground, I'll just be in charge of the work. There's no need for her to work so hard."
It's a wishful thinking for her third brother to think that a toad can eat swan flesh.
Ye Liuqing felt that it would be necessary to teach this silly kid a lesson in the future to let him know that there is no free lunch in the world and that hard work pays off.
Ye Jianhua looked at the cunning in his little sister's eyes, and silently lit three candles for Ye Jianjun in his heart.
Silly brother, just wish you good luck!
“Bang!”
Liu Cuilan slapped Ye Jianjun on the back of the head.
"What are you daydreaming about, you little brat?"
"With your character, you still want to control others? It's good enough if you don't let others control you!"
Ye Jianjun wailed, "Mom, am I your biological son? Don't treat me like that."
"I actually wish you'd picked it up!" Liu Cuilan rolled her eyes. "That way I'd have less to worry about."
The mother and son were chatting with each other, it was very lively.
Such a lively scene made Ye Liuqing a little dazed.
Since when did home become a luxury for her?
Every time she opened the door, she was greeted by the coldness of the room.
Among the thousands of lights, not a single one is lit for her.
Now, it’s so nice to be able to be with my family, playing, talking and laughing!
The happiness that was once out of reach is right before your eyes.
Looking at his familiar family, Ye Liuqing's eyes slowly became gentle, and then gradually became firm.
She will definitely make them better and better and live happier and happier lives!
The future is promising!
