Chu Qingxiang was curious about why Ye Muyu’s cooking skills had changed so much. However, she was still enthusiastic and generous. “Then we’re lucky to
eat it.”
“You little girl, you’re so talkative. Hurry up and bring it in,” Madam Liu said with a smile.
Chu Qingxiang laughed loudly and stopped talking. She directly placed the pickled vegetables and fish in the central room.
Ye Muyu looked at the newly bought cow. It was probably only one or two years old, but it was the healthiest.
Ye Muyu took the basket back and said, “Mother, that pickled vegetable is made from cabbage. If you want to eat it in the future, just ask Sister-in-law to tell
me.”
“Alright, you should go back too. It’s such a hot day.” Madam Liu did not ask her to stay. Madam Ye had sent her meals so many times, so she naturally knew that the two children were waiting for Ye Muyu to come home to eat.
Ye Muyu nodded and turned to walk home.
When she got home, she heard Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo’s excited voices. She turned around and closed the door, asking casually, “What did you do to make you so happy?
Perhaps it was because the walls had been built higher and the eaves of the Chu family’s house were longer, but even under the scorching sun, the courtyard was cooler than the old residence. Of course, it was also because of the big trees behind the house. When the scorching sun shone down, there was shelter.
“Mother, I made Zhuge Lock!” Chu Jin happily held a wooden Zhuge Lock and circled around Ye Muyu excitedly. At the same time, he chattered, “Sister didn’t know how to solve it just now. I taught her.”
“I already know five ways to solve it. The teacher said that there are thousands of ways to solve it,” Chu Jin said excitedly.
“Let’s eat.” Ye Muyu was not worried that he would lose his ambition by playing with things. After all, he had to finish his homework every day. When he was not studying, he could play however he wanted. She did not interfere.
Chu Ziluo liked Chu Jin’s Zhuge Lock, but she did not want Chu Jin’s. She wanted to make one herself.
Before this, she did not really understand the meaning of Zhuge Lock’s book. However, now that the toy had been made, even the girls in the village who did not have many toys could not help but want to play with it.
“Brother, do you have time to teach me how to be Zhuge Lock?” Chu Ziluo softly discussed with Chu Jin.
Chu Jin puffed out his chest proudly and glanced at Chu Ziluo. “Sis, am I amazing?”
“Of course.” Chu Ziluo nodded seriously.
“Then I’ll teach you if you acknowledge me as your elder brother.” Chu Jin’s words made Ye Muyu, who was walking in front, pay attention to the conversation between the two children.
“No, I’m the elder sister. Change your condition.” Chu Ziluo frowned and refused.
“Why didn’t you agree?” Chu Jin was puzzled.
“I can be your elder brother and protect you. Besides, I’ve never been an elder brother before,” Chu Jin said heroically.
“That’s not right,” Chu Ziluo retorted.” I’m older than you, so I’ll always be your elder sister. I have to protect you, so how can you protect me? Mother, don’t you think so?”
The three of them had already entered the central room.
Ye Muyu saw that the dishes were already served on the table and walked over to sit down.
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin naturally sat on one side of each other.
“Ziluo,” she said after sitting down. “You’re the older sister, but you’re also a girl. Naturally, your father and brother should protect you.”
“Lil’ Jin, since you’re younger than Zi Luo, you have to respect your sister. Of course, you’re a man, so you have to take responsibility. In the future, if someone bullies Ziluo, you have to protect your sister..”
