Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Could she also make these sour apricots into preserved apricots?

If it is made into apricot preserves, it will definitely not be sour, right?

Moreover, preserved fruits seemed to have not been discovered in this era, so it seemed that she had another way to make money.

The more Bai Zhizhi thought about it, the more excited she became, as if she had already seen a golden road paved with money, waving at her.

"Yu'er, Ying'er, let's pick all these apricots quickly."

Bai Zhizhi spoke as she moved quickly.

Zhou Yu looked at her doubtfully, wondering if his aunt had gone crazy. Why was she picking these sour apricots?

Noticing his gaze, Bai Zhizhi touched her head blankly, but didn't find anything wrong.

So he asked, "Why are you looking at me instead of picking apricots quickly?"

"Aunt, these apricots are sour and you can't eat them even if you pick them." Zhou Yu reminded.

He was afraid that his aunt was just thinking it through and would regret it after picking it.

"I know it's sour." Bai Zhizhi looked at him puzzledly, not understanding what he was thinking.

Zhou Yu didn't know how to express his worries tactfully, so he could only stand there.

Zhou Ying was much more straightforward and asked directly, "If they are sour, you can't eat them, why are you picking them?"

"It's a secret." Bai Zhizhi pretended to be mysterious.

She just has an idea in her mind now, but she doesn't know if it will work, so she'd better not say it out loud for now.

Once she makes it, they will know.

"Okay." Zhou Ying lowered her head somewhat disappointedly.

However, her emotion only lasted for a moment. Looking at the golden leaves all over the tree, she soon forgot about it.

Knowing that his aunt was not acting on impulse, Zhou Yu stopped asking questions and began to pick apricots seriously.

There must be a reason why the young aunt did this, and they just need to listen and do as she says.

The apricots on the trees are a bumper harvest.

The three of them moved very quickly, and soon they had filled their baskets and backpacks.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Bai Zhizhi looked at the sky. They hadn't been delayed too long, and it was still quite early.

I can still try it out when I get home.

Because I was carrying things and was in a hurry to go home, I walked much faster than when I came.

It wasn't long before they arrived.

The three of them were already exhausted and out of breath. They helped each other to finally take off the weight.

At this time, the men who had been out came back to eat and were surprised to see them panting.

"What have you been doing? Why are you so tired?"

Zhou Changsheng, as the head of the family, asked the first question.

"I went for a walk in the mountains and brought back some things."

Looking at the fruits of her labor, Bai Zhizhi was very satisfied and a smile appeared on her face.

Qian happened to come out of the room and saw the golden apricots. Her face was filled with surprise.

"Where did you pick so many wild apricots? They look so beautiful in color."

As he said that, he took one from the box and wiped it on his sleeve.

Seeing his grandmother's actions, Zhou Yu quickly stopped her, "Grandma, that apricot is a bit sour."

But he was a little too late. The old lady had already put it in her mouth, and her face frowned even more fiercely in an instant.

After a long while, Qian finally came to her senses and blamed the two children.

"Is your family short of food or clothes? Why do you have to bring back these sour things?"

"Is it that sour?" Zhou Changjiang looked at his mother suspiciously.

He knew his child's temperament well. He would definitely not deliberately pick inedible apricots. Maybe his mother was just making a fuss out of nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changjiang also took an apricot and put it in his mouth.

Then he turned into a bitter face like his mother.

"Is it so sour?" Zhou Changhe, who had just come back from washing his hands, looked at them in confusion and picked up one as well.
