Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mother, what should I do?” Chu Jin scratched his head in annoyance. He was not someone who liked to complicate things, so when he heard Chu Heng’s words, he felt that his mother would definitely give him an answer and not make it difficult for him.
Ye Muyu wanted to hear his real thoughts, in case he got used to eating good food and disliked ordinary food.
Hearing this, she smiled gently. “Lil’ Jin, Mother was just testing you. Mother doesn’t want you to waste food. Do you understand?”
“Mother will work hard to be a reasonable person. This way, you won’t be in a difficult position.”
Chu Jin understood, but he did not quite understand.
“Mother, so you said that on purpose just now. Fortunately, I didn’t intend to waste food. It’s actually very delicious. Why would I throw it away?” He was very straightforward and did not seem reluctant at all.
As for the parts he did not understand, he was not someone who would hide his words in his heart. Naturally, he would ask whatever he wanted to ask. “Mother, you’re so good. Why do you still want to learn?”
“What do you mean by being reasonable?”
Ye Muyu shook her head with a smile. “There’s a lot of knowledge in this. Ask your father later.”
“Alright then.” Chu Jin took a big bite of the rice dumpling. He chewed it carefully and swallowed it. “Anyway, I like my mother.”
“If you want to ask something next time, just ask me. There’s no need to test me.”
“It’s not good to test me. I don’t like people doubting my sincerity.” He shook his head as if he was serious.
Ye Muyu looked at the child who was getting more and more handsome. She had to admit that he had indeed improved. It also reminded her that there was no need to test her family. Family should be the most trustworthy existence in the world. She had not thought through it as a child.
“Alright.” There was no need to say anything else. Ye Muyu reflected on herself, and the atmosphere in the family became better.
Chu Heng saw that the two children had eaten two big rice dumplings and lifted his hand to take the dumplings away.
“You’ve eaten enough. You won’t be able to digest them properly if you eat too much.”
“If you’re hungry, have some porridge and pickles.”
Chu Heng was the head of the family, so Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin did not dare to object. Besides, the two rice dumplings were already a lot. They were still young and could not eat too much.
After breakfast, with Madam Hu helping to clean up the dishes, Ye Muyu was free. She had a headache about how to finish the hundreds of rice dumplings at home. If she left them for too long, they would go bad.
Even if it was placed in a jar and sealed in a well, it would only last for two to three days at most.
The other families in the village did not have Ye Muyu’s worries as most of the elders were there. Chu Heng had a special situation because he was a scholar.
Chu Heng knew many people and many were also willing to befriend him.
When it came to festivals, the gifts he gave out and received were both a lot.
However, there were not many people at home.
No matter how much he ate, he could not finish it.
“Madam, why don’t you send some to the old mansion? The taste of the dumplings returned by the students in the county is always different from that of the countryside. The old mansion won’t dislike it.”
“Other than that, there’s also Madam’s maiden family. It’s a pity to waste it.”
There were over a hundred dumplings, but even if they ate them for two days straight, they could only consume thirty at most.
However, it was different for the old residence and her mother’s house. There were many people. For example, if one person ate four a day, the two families could consume 70 to 80 a day.
Considering that they had some dumplings at home, even if they only ate some a day, they would not waste it.
“Then pick out the dumplings given by the Xie family, the dumplings returned by the students, and the dumplings given by the other scholars..”
