There were many people today, so the mushroom sauce was almost ready in less than an hour.

Old Mrs. Su said that the beans in the vegetable garden had grown well and could probably be picked and eaten. So Su He took the vegetable basket and called Xia Mei to go take a look in the vegetable garden.

The main reason was that Su He was worried that Xia Mei would feel uncomfortable and have all kinds of thoughts when she was alone at home, so it would be better for them to go out together and relax.

Su Mu said that he would take Su Bai and Su Chi to go fishing, saying that there was nothing left to eat at home today, so he would catch a few fish to feed everyone.

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Xia Mei who was standing next to Su He, and turned away embarrassedly.

Su He did not expose him, but just told Su Chi to bring a small bucket, so that if he caught too many, he could take them home to raise them.

After picking up their things, the group went out.

Along the way, I met many people from the village. When I saw Xia Mei, whom I hadn't seen for two days, she was no longer as gloomy as before, and now there was a faint smile on her face.

If you look closely, you will find that her face is not as sallow as before, but slightly rosy.

Everyone was muttering: This old Su family is really good at supporting people.

I haven't seen Xia Mei for just one day. When I saw her again today, she seemed to be a little different. She seemed to be radiating a different spirit.

Is this still the Xia Mei who always kept her head down and worked submissively when she was in the Xia family?

Su He ignored the people whispering around him and pulled Xia Mei towards the Su family's vegetable garden.

"Brother, Sister Meizi and I will just pick some vegetables here and then go back, don't worry."

Su He pointed to her own vegetable garden and said to Su Mu with a smile, "You must catch a big fish. I will make pickled fish for Sister Mei Zi tonight!"

Su Mu's originally innocently smiling face instantly turned red visibly.

"Ah He, I'm not worried at all......"

After a pause, he seemed to feel something was wrong. Looking at Su He's smiling eyes, he was speechless.

He turned around in a hurry and ran away quickly, not forgetting to reply:

"I will try my best to catch a bigger fish and give it to everyone to nourish their bodies in the evening."

I originally wanted to say that I should give Mei Zi some good nourishment, but then I was afraid of being laughed at by my younger brothers and sisters, so I quickly changed my words.

Only Su Mu and Su Chi were left at the back, covering their mouths and giggling.

Seeing Su Mu walking away, he quickly waved to Su He and Xia Mei, then took a step forward to catch up.

"Let's go, Sister Meizi. Grandma said the beans in the garden are ready to eat. Let's pick some to eat in the evening."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Brother is really good at catching fish. I will make sure you eat pickled fish tonight!"

After saying that, he stopped looking at Xia Mei's face which was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. He pushed open the fence outside the vegetable garden and walked in.

She was afraid that if she continued staring at Xia Mei, she might even want to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Xia Mei came back to her senses and glared at Su He. Seeing that Su He stopped teasing her, she went into the vegetable garden.

She slowed down and gently patted her face which was still slightly hot.

Looking at Su Mu's back as he walked away in the distance, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted.

Then he quickly followed Su He into the vegetable garden.

Su He has been busy with mushrooms recently, and the vegetables eaten at home are all picked by Xie and Luo on weekdays.

When I arrived at the vegetable garden today, I found that the vegetables that grandma had planted were almost ready to eat.

Looking around now, the cabbages, leeks, eggplants and peppers in the garden are all lush and growing well.

I don't know when the beans and cucumbers were put on the climbing frame, and you can see a lot of long beans and cucumbers hanging on the frame with the naked eye.

Su He took a glance and found that the pumpkins planted at the edge were growing well. Although they had not yet bloomed and bore fruit, the pumpkin tips were also delicious.

It is refreshing whether stir-fried, served cold or cooked in soup.

Su He secretly thought about what to eat in the evening, picked a few cucumbers, chopped them up and made a cold salad in the evening, which was very appetizing and refreshing.

Then I started picking some beans, which were cooked very well. Now is the season for them. Next time I go to town, I will buy some pork belly and stew the beans with them. They will be so delicious.

Xia Mei started picking whatever Su He was picking. After picking the beans, she saw Su He put the basket on the ground.

He looked at the pumpkin seedlings that were growing well, rolled up his sleeves and picked the tips of the seedlings.

Can I eat this too?

Xia Mei was slightly stunned. She had only eaten this pumpkin after it had ripened, and had never seen anyone in the village eat the tip of the pumpkin.

And it’s covered with prickly fine hairs. Can you bite it?

Su He raised his head and looked at the handful of pumpkin seedlings he had picked. Thinking of the refreshing taste, he couldn't help but swallowing his saliva.

Su He turned around and saw Xia Mei looking at the tip of the pumpkin seedling in her hand with a look of confusion and deep thought on her face.

He explained with a smile: "It's delicious if you peel it and stir-fry it tonight."

As Su He was talking, she had already secretly thought about how she would like to eat it. Her favorite was stir-fry, and she wouldn't even trade it for meat.

Xia Mei still couldn't believe it and asked hesitantly, "Is this really edible?"

There are small fluffs on it, and she won’t pick them off when feeding the chickens on weekdays.

But she had also eaten Su He's cooking in the past two days. Last night's dumplings were made by Su He, and they were simply better than any delicious food she had ever eaten before.

She is still savoring the memory when she thinks about it now.

After hearing Xia Mei's question, Su He realized that perhaps people here don't eat this thing. Then she would make it in the evening for them to try. She was afraid that after eating it, they would regret not knowing how they had missed so much before.

Su He's eyebrows curved, as if she had seen the surprised expressions of the Su family members after they ate this dish in the evening.

"Okay, this is enough for us to eat. Let's go back. I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Xia Mei had not had a good life in the past. When Su He saw her thin face, he thought that next time he went to town, he would buy more big bones to make soup so that Sister Mei could take good care of herself.

Seeing Su He holding a large bunch of pumpkin seedlings in her hand, Xia Mei walked forward and took the basket from her, and the two walked back to the village.

Su He picked up a handful of lemongrass from the roadside and tied the pumpkin seedlings in his hand into a bunch, making it easier to carry.

I saw a plant of "ground bubble" in the bush next to me. It had produced a lot of fruits, dotted with red, and were ripe, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Su He picked one and put it in his mouth, and the rich and sweet juice burst out in his mouth.

so sweet.

Su He picked a few more and handed them to Xia Mei, who ate them happily.

Su He picked a pumpkin leaf, put it in his hand, placed the tip of the pumpkin seedling in his hand on the grass on the side, and walked forward to pick all the ripe "ground bubble" fruits.

Looking at the big bag of wild fruits in his hand, Su He walked forward with a smile and handed all the wild fruits in his hand to Xia Mei, motioning her to take them.
