Chapter 84 - 084. Hustle, plan
When Shuzhen and Lianshan returned home with the gifts and said goodbye to their brother and sister-in-law, Lian Yue, who had been looking after the house all day, had sorted and prepared the dried black fungus and mushrooms for packing.
The sliced green beans, dried cowpeas, and dried squash that Shuzhen had just cut the previous afternoon were also mostly dried, neatly arranged, and placed in a flat basket.
She thought Saozi’s method was really good, drying the vegetables from the garden that couldn’t be eaten or sold for much. When winter comes, there won’t be a need to rely solely on napa cabbage, pickled cabbage, potatoes, and radishes.
Lian Yue thought she should do the same and pick some eggplants, cucumbers, and tomatoes from her own garden that her big brother didn’t have, to give the couple a change of taste.
Hmm, Saozi’s family would want to plant things like napa cabbage and radishes, so seeds would have to be given to her later. They already have chive roots; spinach seeds and cilantro seeds as well.
While she was thinking about these things, she heard the jingling of bicycle bells, and her big brother was already carrying Saozi into the courtyard.
Lian Yue quickly got up to greet them, thinking of lending Saozi a hand to dismount safely.
She saw her big brother gently squeeze the brake, swing his right leg over the beam, and get off the bike first. Once the bike was stable, he held onto it with one hand and helped Saozi slowly get off with the other.
So meticulous and thorough, there was no need for her to help, really?
Big brother and Saozi had returned, which meant her task of watching the house was successfully completed.
Their family’s Jianshe and Hai Zi went up the mountain to pick mushrooms again, with the sister-in-law and the three kids. As the sun was setting, she was keen to hurry home to tend to the kids and make dinner.
