Once they got home, they processed the bamboo shoots in the yard. They worked very hard while chatting and laughing together. It was all very lively. However, Ye Mo kept feeling depressed by himself, and he had a massive scowl on his face!
Li Wazi stayed over for lunch at noon. This saved him from having to go back and forth from his house.
“Sister-in-law, how do you get rid of the acidic and bitter taste in the bamboo shoots?” Li Wazi asked simple-mindedly.
“You will know later. However, you can’t let anyone else know. This is our secret to make money!” Liu Duo said with a smile, looking very mysterious.
Li Wazi might be simple, but he understood this point.
“Yang, Liu, Duo Er, Brother Li, lunch is ready. Continue working later.” Ye Ling called out while holding the dish he had just stir-fried.
They went and washed their hands before sitting around the table. “This…this is cooked white rice?” Li Wazi asked, shocked.
People who could afford to eat white rice were all from rich families. Only they could afford it! Even those families that were just relatively well off could only eat coarse rice.
Ye Liu saw Li Wazi making a fuss over this and crossed his legs. He said, sounding like a hooligan, “Okay. Close your mouth. Look at this rice, delicious vegetables and meat. We have this because we follow Little Duo. If you come and join us, your family can also be like ours and live well!”
After they finished, Li Wazi could not believe that he had eaten three big bowls of genuine white rice! He looked completely dumbfounded.
They started to get busy again. After they removed the old skin from the bamboo shoots, they still needed to halve it. The amount of work needed was actually quite large, since they had brought back around a hundred jins.
Liu Duo saw that they had cut a lot, so she picked up the wooden bucket next to her. “Ling, let’s go to the kitchen and get rid of the taste of these first. You help me boil the water.”
Just as Ye Ling was about to get up and reply, Ye Mo rushed to say, “I’ll help you.”
He got up after he finished speaking. He took another bucket of bamboo shoots that had been cut and went towards the kitchen. Ye Ling looked at the energetic Ye Mo and didn’t say anything. He continued cutting the bamboo shoots.
Ye Liu, on the other hand, said, “Aww, Mo was faster than me by a bit. I was also prepared to say that I would help Liu Duo with the fire.”
He then turned his head and said to Ye Ling, sounding like a hooligan, “Ling, your value in Little Duo’s heart is quite high. She would always think of you for everything. She also asks for you when she needs help!”
While they were processing the bamboo shoots, Liu Duo kept calling to Ling. Ling, you should take a rest! Ling, don’t tire yourself! Ling, I’ll massage your neck. It will get sore if you keep looking down for too long…
Li Wazi heard what Ye Liu said and muttered in his heart, It seems like sister-in-law’s favorite is Ling!
Ye Yang, on the other hand, just continued with his work. He ignored Ye Liu acting strange. He didn’t think that Liu Duo was someone who would act unfairly unless she really hated someone!
Ye Ling’s face turned red when he heard Liu. “Liu, don’t say that. You are also valued in Liu Duo’s heart.”
He was actually very happy that Liu Duo kept calling him. However, he also believed that his brothers were just as valued by Liu Duo. They were all part of the same family!
Liu Duo entered the kitchen, placed the wooden bucket down, and turned around. She was suddenly met by Ye Mo standing right in front of her! He had her confined between the stove and his chest.
“You…what are you doing?” Liu Duo was stunned for a while.
Ye Mo saw a tinge of nervousness in Liu Duo’s big black eyes. Ye Mo unleashed all the pent up emotions he’d had the whole afternoon.
He said coolly with that handsome, serious looking face of his, “Why did you ignore me? You didn’t even look at me! …”
