Su He was right. She had nothing to do with the Xia family now. No matter what Xia Xiaobao said, she would just ignore him and he couldn't do anything to her.

The agreement to sever the engagement has been signed, and Li and him...Xia Fugui can't control her either.

What's more, she is going to marry Su Mu soon, and Su Mu will definitely protect her in the future.

Thinking of Su Mu, Xia Mei's heart gradually calmed down.

Seeing Xia Mei's expression slowly ease up, Su He said softly: "Then let's go back quickly, if it's too late, grandma and the others will be worried."

Xia Mei nodded and smiled at Su He. They were delayed for a while by Xia Xiaobao. If they didn't go back, Grandma Su would probably come out to find them.

The two smiled at each other, then hurried back towards the Su family.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Old Lady Su whispering to Mrs. Xie.

"Ah He and Mei Zi said they went out to pick vegetables, but they haven't come back for so long. Maybe something happened? Why don't I go look for them?"

"Mom, our vegetable garden is not far away, it's okay, I guess something else delayed you."

"Yes, mother, you just finished cleaning the chicken coop in the backyard. You should take a rest first, or I can go out and take a look."

Luo also joined in persuading Old Lady Su. Just as she was about to go out of the yard to check out the situation, she saw Su He and the other person pushing the door and entering the yard.

Seeing that the two looked the same, she was relieved and said with a smile, "Just now I was wondering why you two had been out for so long. Your grandma was worried, so I was planning to go out and take a look."

Xia Mei thought about what happened just now when Xia Xiaobao was trying to make things difficult for her, and was hesitating about how to start the conversation.

Su He waved to Luo Shi.

"Don't worry, Auntie. We just saw a ripe ground bubble on the way back and couldn't help but pick it. Look, the fruit is in Sister Meizi's hand."

After saying this, he placed the tip of the pumpkin seedling in his hand on a small low table beside him, intending to peel it here later. It was windy and cool in the yard.

Xia Mei was slightly startled when she heard Su He's words, but soon came to her senses and responded repeatedly:

"Oh, yes, look, it's here with me."

After saying that, he opened the wild fruit wrapped in pumpkin leaves in his hand, revealing the gem-like fruit inside.

"Oh, there are so many. You are so lucky. They are all ripe and sweet."

When Mrs. Xie heard them talking about picking wild fruits, she also went over to take a look.

"It's rare to find so many in the village."

At this time, every household was struggling, and these wild fruits were the most popular among the children in the village. It was rare to see ripe wild fruits around here.

"On the way back from our vegetable garden, behind a bush, I guess it was blocked. I only discovered it when I was about to pick lemongrass."

After saying that, Su He untied the tips of the pumpkin seedlings that she had just tied up in her hand, intending to deal with them now that she had time, otherwise they would become difficult to peel when they wilt.

At this time, the people in the yard noticed that what Su He held in his hand was actually the tip of a pumpkin seedling, and asked in surprise:

"Ahe, why are you picking this? The pumpkins haven't even grown yet. The leaves are covered with thorns, they're so itchy."

"How come this kid even picked this? Many vegetables in the garden are already edible."

Old Mrs. Su widened her eyes. She had just told Ah He when she went out that the beans, leeks and cabbages in the vegetable garden were all edible. Why did Ah He pick these sprouts and bring them back?

"Yeah, Ah He, my hands are itchy when this touches them, but I can't swallow it."

That would hurt your throat.

Luo looked at Su He, and thought that Su He's cooking skills were so good that he should know about it. His eyes flashed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su He looked up at the few people and said softly, it seems that they don’t know that this thing is edible, so let them taste it tonight.

Thinking about it, he began to explain: "This pumpkin seedling tip can be eaten, and it tastes very good, but it needs to be processed first."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen, took out a basket, sat on a chair, and began to peel the tips of the pumpkin seedlings.

Su He picked up one and the more she looked at it, her mouth lifted higher and higher. The pumpkin seedlings were so tender. One could imagine how tender they would be when fried.

Under the puzzled gazes of several people, Su He picked up the tip of a pumpkin seedling and started peeling it. After a while, he saw a peeled pumpkin seedling appear in the palm of Su He's hand.

Everyone saw that after the melon was peeled, the tip of the melon seedling was no longer covered with a layer of fuzz, and it was green and fresh, which was different from its previous appearance.

Thinking about what Su He said about how delicious this thing was, I nodded doubtfully. What Su He said should be correct.

Thinking of this, he sat down, looked at Su He, and started peeling the skin.

Su He watched the movements of the others, and gave them some instructions while they were peeling. Gradually, the Xie family members also did it in a very good manner.

It didn't take long for the crowd to peel all the pumpkin seedlings that Su He had just picked.

Just then, Su Mu and a few others came back from outside carrying buckets of water.

"Sister, sister........"

As soon as he entered the yard and saw Su He and others there, Su Chi shouted loudly at Su He.

"We caught a big fish, come and see it."

After saying that, he pointed at the bucket in Su Mu's hand in surprise and grinned to his ears.

Su Mu walked quickly to the middle of the yard and put the bucket down.

When Su He saw her younger brother's look, she happily stood up and walked forward, looking into the bucket.

Wow!

Wow, that’s a really big fish.

There was one big fish in the bucket, and several small fish the size of a palm. I estimated there were about six or seven of them, enough to eat for two or three days.

"Big brother caught it. Big brother is so awesome."

Su Chi clapped his hands and looked very happy.

"Big brother said that he wants to nourish Sister Meizi's body."

Su Chi said it unintentionally, but Xia Mei beside him was so surprised that she froze like a half-stuck wood. Then she reacted, her body instantly started to heat up, and her face was covered with red clouds.

When he looked into Su Mu's eyes, he suddenly shrank back as if he had been electrocuted.

Hearing the chuckles from the people around him, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Su Mu saw Xia Mei's look and glanced at his younger brother. Why was this kid talking nonsense? Xia Mei felt embarrassed.

"No...no, this...this fish is for everyone to eat together."

Su Mu glared at his younger brother, waved his hands hastily and began to explain in a panic, but the more he explained, the worse the situation became.

"Don't think too much. I'm going to take care of the fish."

After saying that, he picked up the bucket and left. He would feel embarrassed if he continued to stand here.

Seeing that Su Mu and Xia Mei were both embarrassed, everyone turned away and talked about other things, pretending that they knew nothing.

Otherwise, I don’t know when I can have dinner later.
