"Where did you guys go? Did you have fun?" Old Madam Xue asked with a smile when she saw them come back.

"Oh, Luo'er and Qiqiao, why are you two girls so dirty? Did you fall into a mud puddle?" Zhou Yuerong asked with a frown when she saw the two girls covered in mud.

When Qi Qiao and Xue Luo heard this, they quickly lowered their heads and looked at each other from top to bottom. They were indeed a bit dirty.

"To answer my wife, if we didn't fall into the mud pit, we will go and play with it." Qi Qiao answered seriously, but the listeners were confused.

Xue Mingxiang covered her mouth and chuckled. This little girl is so naive.

"Second Aunt, the Chen brothers and sisters took us to the creek and let us experience the wild fun and excitement. They built a small stove and caught fish. Not to mention Luo'er, I also helped out. I've never been so happy."

After Xue Mingxiang explained it, everyone understood.

"Just have fun. You'll be bored if you stay in that yard all day long." Seeing the younger generations were so happy, Madam Xue let them do as they pleased.

A few people put down their things, and Xue Luo and the others were taken to change their clothes. When they came out, Qingzhu had already brought the silkworms back. There were about ten silkworms placed in a small bamboo tray, and a group of people gathered around to watch the curiosity.

"This is the first time I've seen silkworms look like this in my entire life." Old Madam Xue was also extremely curious when she saw the silkworms.

Zhou Yuerong continued, "I've never seen this before. I only saw it when I came to Ruyi County with my husband. Ruyi County is a major silkworm-raising county, so the county attaches great importance to silkworm affairs. The Minister of Agriculture is always busy at this time. My husband often says that if it weren't for the help of Wu Sinong, he would have a lot of headaches."

Madam Xue replied, "Yes, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and the Minister of Agriculture has made great contributions."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Look, the silkworms are eating the leaves." Xue Luo pointed at the silkworms and shouted excitedly.

"This silkworm will spin a cocoon after sleeping once more. The silk from the silkworm is naturally the raw material of silk, but cicada pupae are also a delicacy. Have you ever eaten it, Sister Luo?" Everyone was listening and finding it interesting, but suddenly the topic turned to eating and they were speechless.

Qingzhu rolled his eyes at his little sister. There was no hope for her. It seemed she was just scared of hunger.

Xue Luo found it unbelievable to hear that cicada pupae could be eaten, and looked at Qing Ning with a resistance expression.

Seeing them looking at her like that, Qing Ning said, "I'm telling the truth. Cicada pupae are high in protein, even better than eggs. Frying them in oil and adding some seasoning makes them incredibly fragrant."

After that, everyone was puzzled again. Protein? What is that?

Seeing this, Qing Ning stopped explaining and muttered, "It tastes good anyway."

Xue Luo rolled her eyes as if she had made a great decision. She leaned closer to Qing Ning and whispered, "Sister Ning, when are you going to fry the cicada pupae? I want to try it. If you say it's delicious, it must be delicious."

Qing Ning was pleased by Xue Luo's words. This is the courage a foodie should have.

"Well, if I can get silkworm pupae, I will definitely call you."

The two little ones were mumbling to each other, and the people around them were speechless. They were so brave that they dared to eat anything.

Xue Luo seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Qing Zhu and said, "Sister Zhu, can I take these silkworms home to raise?"

"If you want to raise it, take it back. Do you know how to raise it?" Qingzhu asked a little worriedly.

"It's okay. I'll ask Wu Sinong for advice when I get back. He's quite capable."

Zhou Yuerong was a little skeptical when she heard Xue Luo was planning to take the silkworms back home. She knew her own children well, and bringing them home without a sex determination would ruin their survival. But seeing how happy she was, she decided not to discourage her and let her have her way.

After a while, someone came to invite them to take their seats. The dinner was ready and waiting for them to sit down and have the feast. After dinner, Xu Minglang took Madam Xue and her group back to the villa.

Old Mrs. Chen and her daughter-in-law also wanted to stay and help, but the villagers would not let them and advised them to go back quickly, saying that they were not needed for these small matters. Seeing this, the whole family had no choice but to come back, and they were all very happy.

"Eldest sister, Sister Xiang said that they will leave for their hometown the day after tomorrow. Let's make some snacks and food and send them over tomorrow to satisfy their hunger on the way."

"Okay, I've been thinking about this too. Miss Xue asked me today if I could make some more snacks to give away, and I agreed. However, we're running low on ingredients at home. I'll have Brother Chen Ming go to town to buy some more tomorrow morning. I've also just talked to Sister Xin, Sister Yi, and Mai Miao, and have them come over to work tomorrow."

Qingke also gave a few people a day off these two days so that they could have a good rest, as they would probably be busy in the future.

Besides, when Mrs. Xue was on the carriage returning, she saw the smile on her granddaughter's face that never faded, and she knew that she was really happy today.

"Xiang'er, what do you think of the Chen brothers and sisters?"

Xue Mingxiang was stunned for a moment when he heard Mrs. Xue ask this question. Then he replied, "Innocent and kind, not fussy about trivial matters, smart and humble, and broad-minded all have their own merits."

Madam Xue smiled knowingly and said, "They all have their own differences, and the youngest is definitely the most opinionated. Today, I heard from Mr. Yu about his experiences in the village, and I have a feeling that the Chen family will have great fortune, and their future cannot be underestimated. Besides, Qing Ning is truly intelligent and open-minded, with a long-term and insightful perspective. I wonder how such a young child could be so extraordinary?"

Old Madam Xue had a very good impression of the Chen family, and she couldn't help but pay more attention to the Chen family's children. After listening to what Old Man Yu said, she looked at these children in a different light, especially Qing Ning.

"There's nothing strange in this world. Although little, Qing Ning is open-minded and smart, yet she's not arrogant or impatient. Although she sometimes looks mature, she's as innocent and lively as any boy."

Xue Mingxiang spent half a day with them and got a rough idea of ​​their personalities.

Qingke is gentle but resilient; Qingzhu, though a bit aloof, is thoughtful and considerate; Qingsong is straightforward and honest; Qingbai is intelligent and reserved; Qingwu is calm and wise; and Qingyu is quick-witted and resourceful. Each of these seven siblings is different, but all are kindhearted and worthy of friendship.

"You can stay here after you return. You will feel at peace if you spend more time with them. You will have to follow the rules when you go back~" Old Madam Xue said this out of emotion. Although she is the ancestor now and everyone respects her, in a big family, nothing goes as planned. There are many troubles.

Zhou Yuerong was also talking about her plans with her daughter.

"Luo'er, mother wants to tell you something."

Xue Luo had been staring at these silkworms since she got them. When she heard Zhou Yuerong talking to her, she looked up and asked, "What's going on?"

"I thought that a school had been built in Chenjia Village, and mother wanted your brother to come and study with you."

"What? Really? Can I go to school with Sister Qing Ning? Mother, you won't lie."

Zhou Yuerong thought Xue Luo would refuse and be reluctant, but she didn't expect her daughter to react like this. Is she excitedヾ(o???)?ヾ?

"You don't object? Are you willing to come to school?" Zhou Yuerong asked again uncertainly.

"No objection, I'm willing. If I go to school with Sister Qing Ning, I can play with her and eat a lot of delicious food. I'm willing to do that."

Zhou Yuerong held her forehead with her hand. It turned out that her daughter's mind was not on studying. She had thought that she had changed. But it was not bad this way. At least the purpose was achieved and she was willing to come.
