After having breakfast, everyone quickly discovered that the loquats in the yard had ripened! The mint that was planted just a few days ago had silently grown into a large patch as well!
Everyone marveled at this and had a lively discussion, but in the end, they couldn't come up with a reason. So, they reluctantly agreed that the land must have good energy and the soil had improved, which is why the loquats ripened early and the mint grew so well!
Qiao Xuan listened with a smug smile – after all, this was all her doing!
The youngest son, Shao Yunhuai, who was called "Xiao Qi" by the family, was the most lively and agile. Whenever he had free time, he liked to explore the mountains and valleys, often returning with a good harvest of wild chickens, birds, and rabbits. When he saw the golden loquats, he couldn't resist and quickly climbed the tree to pick a large basket for everyone to eat.
"Wow, these loquats seem sweeter than last year! The flesh is also more tender!" Shao Yunguang praised as he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his pocket.
His mother scolded him, "Stop talking nonsense. How do you remember the taste from last year?"
Shao Taotao pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Mother, others may not remember, but when it comes to food, Third Brother definitely remembers! What he said must be right!"
Shao Yunguang was a foodie, extremely persistent in his pursuit of good food. Once, he was chased by wild bees for delicious bee larvae and refused to abandon the beehive, which made the whole village laugh for half a month.
Hearing Shao Taotao's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After eating the loquats, everyone went back to work.
Mrs. Fang stopped Shao Yunduan and scolded him, "Where are you going? Your father and your eldest brother can handle the work in the field. You should spend time with your new wife. She just entered the family, don't neglect her!"
Mrs. Fang then turned to Qiao Xuan and said kindly, "Qiao, your husband is very good-natured, but men are generally careless. If you have any grievances, you must speak up, and I will support you."
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Mother, my husband is not only good-natured but also very attentive! Don't worry, I won't suffer any grievances. Having such a good mother-in-law and husband is my blessing!"
Mrs. Fang was pleased with her response and praised her with flattery, laughing, "You are so sensible! Marrying you is the blessing of our Shao family and Yunduan's blessing, hahaha!"
"Mother-in-law, I am truly, truly unworthy of your praise!"
"No, you are very good!"
"Yes, I will definitely learn from you and be a good daughter-in-law to the Shao family!"
"Good, good! Haha!"
Shao Yunduan: "..."
Shao Yunduan was dumbfounded by the affectionate interaction between his mother and wife!
Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?
Can someone tell him what is going on here!
His mother was not particularly satisfied with his wife, often complaining behind her back that she was secretive and selfish.
She also disapproved of the girl his brother had taken a liking to, considering her to be foolish and having greedy and difficult in-laws.
But why was the situation so different when it came to him?
