A Blessed Daughter

49 to 51

Chapter 49 Is Ruoer not Wanwan?

   "Ruoer, she... is in her room preparing for going to class."

  Actually, Wei Ruo is probably busy with the fruits and vegetables grown in her yard at the moment, but Yun is embarrassed to tell people that her daughter grows vegetables in the yard, so she has to lie that Wei Ruo is preparing for class.

   "Mother, let me go over and see what she has prepared." Xie Ying said.

   Madam Xie asked Yun: "Madam Wei, look..."

  Yun's smile was a bit awkward, but Mrs. Xie had asked, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree: "Then I will ask my maid Cuiping to take Miss Xie there."

   "Then let's go now." Xie Ying left as soon as she said, ignoring Wei Qingwan who was always smiling and looking at her.

  Yun's guess is correct, Wei Ruo is currently picking tender pumpkins and pumpkin vine tips in the yard.

  Her pumpkin vines are growing very well, climbing half of the courtyard wall, and several fruits have grown. This is a good time to pick these two things.

  Wei Ruo likes to eat tender pumpkins and pumpkin tips. These two can be mixed together and stir-fried for a refreshing, sweet and crisp taste.

  When Xie Ying entered the door, she saw Wei Ruo standing on the ladder with a bamboo basket in her hand, picking something intently.

  Xie Ying walked over without making a sound, just watching from the side.

  Wei Ruo heard the movement and knew that someone had come in. Wei Ruo didn't bother, but the other party didn't make a sound for a long time, so Wei Ruo turned his head and looked over.

   "Miss Xie?"

  Wei Ruo was not too surprised by Xie Ying's arrival. She also heard that Mrs. Xie would bring Xie Ying to visit the Wei family. Just curious what Xie Ying was doing watching her.

   "What are you doing?" Xie Ying asked.

   "Pick pumpkin tips and small pumpkins." Wei Ruo replied.

   "Oh, I know that, I've eaten it, and it doesn't taste good." Xie Ying said.

   "It may be that the cook who made this dish is not very good. I have a chance to let you try my Meimei's cooking." Wei Ruo said.

  Xie Ying didn't refute, but her eyes told Wei Ruo that she didn't really believe what Wei Ruo said, how could a pumpkin tip be delicious?

  Xie Ying glanced around, "Where do you have a place where I can hide for a while and go back to sleep? I was taken out of the house by my mother early in the morning, and I haven't woken up yet."

   Xie Ying doesn't care why Wei Ruo grows vegetables in the yard where she lives, and why Wei Ruo isn't preparing what she needs for class. She just wants to find a place to sleep in a daze.

  Wei Ruo pointed to the rattan chair he had placed in the yard and said, "Why don't you move it under my gourd rattan shelf, where the sun won't shine."

   After a while, the sun will be bright and it will be too hot, so if you want to sleep, you still have to find a shady place.

   Xie Ying nodded, then picked up Wei Ruo's chair and walked over.

  The wicker chair is very comfortable, the gourd vines grow lushly, and the shade under the shelf is very suitable for Xie Ying's requirement of hiding in a daze.
