Chapter 336: Mom is the Best
Chu Ziluo pouted "Mom, I sincerely wanted to help you."
"Then, when you go home help Mom pick some vegetables. We'll make pickled vegetable pancakes and cucumber stew with ribs for dinner tonight." Ye Muyu saw her in high spirits and found her a task.
"Sure! When my brother comes back he'll definitely love it. He loves eating pancakes the most." Chu Ziluo happily agreed.
After returning home.
It was still early and Ye Muyu took her usual afternoon nap, albeit a bit shorter today due to the late return. She slept for only half an hour.
Ye Muyu got up and tidied herself.
As she walked out of the room, she saw Hu Shi standing at the courtyard gate, talking to someone. The courtyard was neatly arranged with only a sieve and sun-dried pumpkin seeds on the bench. The sun had started to set and it wasn't too hot.
Descending from the eaves, Ye Muyu approached and Hu Shi turned around to greet her.
Speaking in a hushed tone, Hu Shi said, "Madam, it's Madam Wu. She came over to tell this servant to pick peaches on the mountain. The peaches on the mountain are ripe and she heard that many passersby have picked quite a few lately. Madam Wu thought that since they're ripe now, she should send this servant to pick some for Madam and Miss."
"Madam Wu came?" Ye Muyu knew that there were some hills in Xingshui Village with fruit trees. Each family owned these hills and almost every household had a woodlot.
These were the hills where medicinal herbs were grown.
The area outside the village was a main road and people passing by often picked a few peaches as they walked. This was quite normal. Madam Wu probably felt a bit distressed which was understandable. After all, the peach trees required their own fertilization and how could they be completely picked clean by others?
Even if a few were picked from time to time, it wouldn't be too big of a deal.
"Madam Wu said her piece and left. She probably wants to take advantage of the early evening to pick them all." Hu Shi explained.
Ye Muyu nodded, "Since Madam Wu came over and mentioned it, prepare a basket."
"Madam, do you want to go and pick them yourself?" Hu Shi asked.
"Yes, I happen to want to take a walk outside and the village school is about to finish for the day." Ye Muyu nodded, planning to take Chu Ziluo for a stroll.
Generally, the village school finished around the hour of the Shen (申) in the Chinese zodiac, and it was about that time now.
"Alright, this servant will prepare it right away." Hu Shi went down to get the basket and gloves while also changing into a pair of shoes.
Ye Muyu turned and went into Chu Ziluo's room next door.
Chu Ziluo was also awake. Seeing Ye Muyu come in, her eyes lit up with affection. "Mom, are you awake? I'll put on my shoes and go pick vegetables for you."
She moved quickly. After saying this, she had already put on her shoes in two or three breaths.
"First, go and pick peaches. Picking vegetables can wait." Ye Muyu picked up a comb from the dressing table and approached Chu Ziluo, gently combing her hair.
Seeing the tender affection in her mother's eyes, Chu Ziluo instantly pursed her lips into a smile and obediently allowed Ye Muyu to comb her hair.
In her heart, she thought, "Mom is combing my hair, I'm so happy."
"Mom, we don't have peaches at home. Where are we going to pick them?" Chu Ziluo asked in confusion.
"At Aunt Wu's house."
"Later, I'll send some peach skins to Aunt Wu's house." Ye Muyu said.
Chu Ziluo also liked Mrs. Wu. Hearing that they could go pick peaches, she smiled with her eyes curved. "Mom, Aunt Wu has many peaches in her house. She has peach trees on her mountain. Last year at this time, I ate quite a few, all given by Aunt Wu."
"I heard Uncle Xing say that he sells them in the county every year and makes some income. Uncle Xing is amazing. I saw him plant the peach trees when I was a child."
