Chapter 682: Going Out for a Walk
Chapter 682: Going Out for a Walk
“Fifth Aunt, Mother, Eldest Aunt, why don’t we go out for a walk and take a look at the mountain? I wonder if Eldest Aunt will be too tired.” Ye Muyu thought for a while.
“No, no. Then let’s go out for a walk?” Chu Xingjun was elated. She could not wait to know what kind of fungus Ye Muyu was talking about. Only after seeing it with her own eyes would she know if it was the same plant.
Madam Liu nodded gently and stood up. “Then let’s go out and take a walk. It just so happens that you haven’t been back for a long time, and the village has changed a lot. We can take advantage of the fact that we’re not busy today to take a walk.”
“Sure.” Chu Xingjun was not a shy person. Seeing that they did not mind, she happily followed them out the door.
Before leaving, Xiang Ling’er, who was talking in the room, saw them and quickly came over.
“Third Aunt, Fifth Aunt, Cousin-in-law, Mother, I also want to go out with you.”
Xiang Ling’er had been sitting in the room earlier and had wanted to talk to Madam Zhang and Chu Qingxiang enthusiastically, but who knew that Madam Zhang would hold her hand and ask her questions while she was sitting there?
She was not disgusted. After all, the other party was not asking much.
However, when she kept asking her, the mother and daughter did not say anything. Xiang Ling’er felt that it was strange.
After a long time, she realized that the two of them wanted to talk, but it was not convenient for her to stay there, so Madam Zhang kept trying to find a conversation.
Xiang Ling ‘er was just about to find an excuse to leave when she saw her mother and aunt leave. She quickly got up and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that she did not have to continue being awkward.
“You can go with us. Don’t be too playful.” Chu Xingjun warned.
Xiang Ling’er quickly nodded obediently. She held her arm and followed her in the direction of the firewood mountain.
The villagers still had some unfinished sweet potatoes to collect and were working in the fields.
Many people had received pastries from Chu Heng’s family and thanked Ye Muyu when they saw her.
Ye Muyu smiled and said it was nothing, making everyone happy.
“Cousin-in-law, Cousin Heng is really amazing.” Xiang Ling ‘er was Chu Xingjun’s eldest daughter. She was usually doted on at home. This time, she came over to watch the show. Her older brothers at home had become her biological children.
She was the only one who was free to accompany her parents over when they were discussing the marriage. She had a gentle personality. When she saw the villagers praising Chu Heng, she felt a sense of honor and admiration, so she could not help but praise him.
Ye Muyu smiled faintly. “It’s only right for him to study hard. After all, the family is working hard now. In the future, the boys will also bring glory to the family.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.” Xiang Ling ‘er said enviously. Her brothers and even her nephews did not have the money to study. She did not expect that although her cousins lived in the village, their conditions were so good. She could not help but feel a trace of anticipation in her heart.
If she were to pay for her nephew’s education in the future, would she be able to make a comeback?
She pondered and did not interrupt.
Very quickly.
The group arrived at at the firewood mountain.
They did not see Chu Zhiwen and the others either. Clearly, they had gone somewhere else.
“Let’s go over and look for it first.” After Ye Muyu finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.
The firewood mountain in Xingshui Village was not high, so there were no towering trees. Some families even had only one small tree on the firewood mountain.
If they wanted to find the fungus, they had to find rotten wood first.
This season was the best time to harvest the fungus. After autumn, there would be no more.
