Since Jiang Yue had already said it, Xue Yan didn’t need to say anything. He just held Jiang Yue’s hand and stopped as well, stopping right beside a green plum tree.
This green plum tree was about the same height as him, and only six or seven green plum fruits were hanging on it.
Xue Sifu agreed to let someone else process the green plums. It would save time and effort, and he would not have to worry about the process going bad.
Xue Sifu turned around and smiled at Xue Yifu. “Yifu, after I check the strawberries, I’ll go back to town and find the owner of the shop. I’ll have a good talk with the owner of the shop about it. Once we’re done, I’ll get someone to do it. When the time comes, get Erfu to hire some people to help pick these green plums and send them to the roasting bed to be processed into dark plums.”
“Deal. Deal.” Xue Yifu chuckled. He would not object to it.
He continued walking forward.
Soon, they saw the strawberries that had been planted last year. Some of the strawberries were half- green and half-red, but many of them were completely red and could be picked and eaten.
If they didn’t pluck it, it would go bad soon.
Hence, they decided to harvest the fully red ones tomorrow morning.
All the work at home would be done by someone else.
He went to the other few acres of strawberry fields to take a look. He did not see any completely red strawberries. In a few days, they would be completely red and ripe.
Finally, he went to the corn field to break the corn.
The white, purple, black, and yellow corn filled up the basket.
When he returned home, it was also time for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to practice martial arts.
These few days, regardless of whether it was morning or afternoon, Xue Shi followed Xue Yan and Jiang Yue wherever they went. When he saw that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were going to their old house, he crawled over happily, wanting to follow the two.
It wasn’t until Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Shi went to the old house that Xue Sifu returned to the town to look for the owner who owned baking stoves near Pingan Town.
The owner heard that the quant.i.ty was very large and that he would earn a lot of processing fees so he agreed. Moreover, if the processing was good this time, they would contact him again with the processing every year in the future. In the end, he was very willing to take up the job.
After negotiating the price and signing the doc.u.ment, Xue Sifu returned to the shop and sent someone to hurry back to Locust Village to inform his family that they could pick green plums and process them into dark plums tomorrow.
He hired a lot of people, so it took them a day to pluck all 15 acres of green plums.
However, it took time to turn the green plums into dark plums. Even if the brick bed was especially large, it was still possible to turn the green plums into dark plums during the wedding day itself.
The family naturally wouldn’t need that many dark plums. If they kept enough for the family, they wouldn’t need to buy from others. The rest were going to be sold.
The dark plum was a kind of medicine, and the medical hall usually needed it.
Tomorrow was the day of Sanfu’s wedding. Sanfu had already sent a letter saying that he would be back today, so when noon arrived, they brought Xue
Shi out of the old house and went home.
Before they entered the house, they saw Liu Guixia and the others coming out happily, saying that they were going to the village entrance to wait for Sanfu. They hadn’t seen each other for so long, and they missed each other very much.
Especially Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu, were so excited that they kept muttering,
“It’s good to see Sanfu. If only Wufu could come along…”
Both of them were their sons, and they had been in the military camp for so long. No matter which son it was, they would miss either of them very much..
