Chapter 482: Thoughts

"Lunch will only have cured meat as the main dish." Ye Muyu said after eating and drinking her fill, slowly sipping her daily chicken soup. She waited until Chu Heng finished eating before mentioning this.

The fresh meat at home had already been completely consumed.

Fortunately, in preparation for Chu Heng's journey, she had prepared a lot of cured and smoked meat some time ago. Otherwise, the house would have immediately run out of meat.

Chu Heng didn't answer but instead asked, "How much meat do we have left at home?"

"We have quite a bit. There are fifty catties of cured meat and a jar of lard. I was thinking of using the lard to cook for you. It needs to be heated before we can eat it at noon."

Fifty catties of meat might seem like a lot, but considering that the family ate meat every day, it would definitely be consumed at a rate of one or two catties per day.

The whole family could consume thirty catties in half a month.

After he left, Ye Muyu would definitely need to prepare at least ten catties of meat. So, for the remaining twenty-odd days, there would only be less than ten catties of meat left in the house.

"I'll go buy some more cured meat." Chu Heng said.

Ye Muyu smiled faintly. "You don't need to worry about that. I already asked Uncle Zhang to help me inquire. There are people in the village who are willing to sell."

"Alright."

Chu Heng's eyes contained warmth as he nodded in acknowledgment.

"Mom, I'm done eating. I'm going to read now." Chu Ziluo put down her chopsticks, her bowl completely clean, and asked.

Ye Muyu nodded. "Go ahead. If you're tired, take a break before continuing."

"Mom, I'm not tired. Being able to read and recognize characters is already a great blessing for me. Sister Qingyu, Sister Tian, Sister Cao, and the others often ask me how to write and pronounce certain characters."

"Speaking of which, Sister Qingyu, Sister Tian, Sister Cao, Sister Juan, and Sister Wen usually play together. They also seem to be learning to recognize characters, so they often ask me to go out and play with them."

"And Sister Qingyu and the others asked me if I could teach them to recognize characters when I have time."

Hearing this, Ye Muyu already had a clear idea. It seemed that almost all the eligible girls from the Five Rooms were present. Except for the girls from the Third Room and the Fifth Room, all the other girls seemed to have an attitude of learning to recognize characters. The other Rooms seemed to be mainly observing.

"What do you think, Ziluo?"

Chuziluo heard this and knew that Mom was asking her opinion. After thinking deeply for a while, she sighed and honestly said, "Mom, in fact, only Sister Juan and Sister Wen, and Sister Tian, are really serious about learning to recognize characters."

"As for Sister Qingyu, Sister Tian, and Sister Cao, they are just talking about jewelry. They don't really have the intention to recognize characters."

She didn't mind teaching other people to recognize characters, she just felt that since Sister Qingyu and the others didn't like to recognize characters and used it as an excuse to ask her to play, it was a waste of time.

She preferred to read at home every day.

Those miscellaneous books were quite interesting.

Of course, she was willing to teach Sister Juan, who genuinely wanted to learn.

Perhaps because she knew how difficult it was to recognize characters, after reading many books, Chu Ziluo's horizons had widened a lot, and she didn't like the behavior of Qingyu and the others who didn't take recognizing characters seriously.

Although she didn't like it, she didn't say anything harsh.

Now that Mom asked, she couldn't help but tell the truth, and she looked at Ye Muyu nervously, afraid that she would be angry.

Ye Muyu asked, "Ziluo, do you dislike talking about jewelry?"

"Not really. It's just that Sister Qingyu originally asked me to read and recognize characters, but she didn't read them in the end."

Chuziluo twisted her fingers and said, "If she wants to look at jewelry, she can just say so directly. Why use learning to recognize characters as an excuse? I've already prepared quite a bit."
