I'm waiting for you in the brightest place

Seeing that Mu Qingyuan and his wife's attitude was almost certain, Ye Chenchuan continued, "It doesn't matter. After all, you have waived my rent!"

"Oh well!"

Mu Qingyuan finally agreed.

"Thank you uncle and aunt for your care!"

Ye Chenchuan stood up and bowed to Mu Qingyuan and Shen Huiru.

At this time, Mu Yunxi also came back from the tea garden.

After entering the room, she took off her bamboo hat and said, "Mom, it's almost eleven o'clock. The workers have finished picking the early green grass!"

There are different times for picking tea in a day, namely early tea picking and afternoon tea picking.

Early green tea refers to the tea picked between 8:00 and 11:00, and noon green tea refers to the tea picked between 12:00 and 4:00.

The quality of mid-season tea is better and it is more expensive. However, tea leaves grow too fast and if they are not picked soon, they will become old. Therefore, although early-season tea leaves are cheaper, you still need to pick some when they grow too fast.

Shen Huiru took the bamboo hat from Mu Yunxi's hand and said, "Okay! I'll go and take a look. I'll go with the workers to dry the tea. Your father will also go to help. We have a lot of things to do here. You can take Xiaochuan back first."

"Now that Xiaochuan is living in our house, you have to be careful and do things by yourself if you can. Don't cause him too much trouble, okay?" Mu Qingyuan also picked up another bamboo hat hanging in the room and left with Shen Huiru.

"Oh...ah? Dad, Mom, wait, what do you mean he will live in our house from now on? He goes to college here, he can live in school!"

Mu Qingyuan and his wife had already walked away before Mu Yunxi realized what they had just said and opened the door and shouted.

Mu Qingyuan turned around and said, "What we mean is that Xiaochuan will live in our house in the future. He is alone here, so we should take care of him. The most important thing is that you are not allowed to bully him, understand?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Mu Yunxi saw the serious expression on Mu Qingyuan's face and nodded blankly.

Ye Chenchuan, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw this scene, but his face quickly returned to calm.

He adjusted his posture and bowed to Mu Yunxi just as he had bowed to Mu Qingyuan and his wife: "Please take good care of me in the future."

Mu Yunxi came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I thought you were just staying at my house before you report! But since my parents have agreed, it's not certain who will take care of whom. Let's go... Let's go, I'll take you home!"

"Okay, go home!"

Ye Chenchuan stood up straight with a bright smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Mu Yunxi sent Ye Chenchuan back home.

Mu Yunxi got out of the car and held the car: "I still have to go to the tea factory to help my parents, you just stay here, anyway, if you need anything, you can use anything at home."

Ye Chenchuan saw Mu Yunxi get in the car and start to reverse, and walked closer anxiously: "Aren't you home?"

Mu Yunxi opened the car window: "I have a lot to learn, how can I be like you now? Let's go!"

Ye Chenchuan bent down and covered the window that Mu Yunxi was about to close and asked, "Wait a minute, what time will you be back?"

Mu Yunxi looked at Ye Chenchuan's anxious expression with amusement: "Why, you are so old, but you are still afraid to be alone at home? The security here is very good, don't worry!"

What? Did he look scared just now?

Ye Chenchuan stood up, a little embarrassed: "I... I'm not scared, I just want to ask what time you will come back so I can start cooking. I promised my uncle and aunt that they won't charge me rent, but I will cook for you."

Mu Yunxi thought for a moment, then said, "I used to eat there with my parents. Since you want to cook for me, I'll be back around six o'clock. Stay at home, I'm leaving!"

Mu Yunxi took Ye Chenchuan's hand away from the car window, rolled up the glass, and drove away.

Ye Chenchuan looked at Mu Yunxi's car driving away in a daze.

But thinking that she would be back at around six o'clock to eat the meal he cooked, he went home happily again.

I went to the kitchen first. I came late yesterday and was making breakfast this morning. I was in a hurry and hadn't looked at it carefully yet.

I opened the refrigerator and looked inside. There were only a few packets of sauce and some pickles. "There's nothing here. It turns out you don't cook for yourself!"

I looked at the time and it was just past twelve o'clock, so there was still time!

He took out his wallet from his backpack and went out.

Although there are no large supermarkets here and the village is relatively remote, what they eat are basically green and ecological foods produced and consumed by themselves.

The small vegetable garden in front of Mu Yunxi's house can still be used after some tidying up, but she will have to look for meat, eggs and the like.

Ye Chenchuan went to the only store in the village and bought a few packets of seasonings and spices. He also asked the villagers about a farmer who specialized in selling chickens and fish and bought a chicken and a fish.

He was not very good at cleaning up, so he asked the seller to help him clean up.

When I got home, I washed the cleaned chicken and fish again, and marinated the fish with green onions and ginger.

Then I put on a sun hat and went to the vegetable garden at the door to do some tidying. I pulled out all the weeds and used a hoe to loosen the soil, planning to water it later.

It is midsummer now and the weather is hot. The vegetables in the garden are growing very fast and they will probably be lush and green in a few days.

After doing all this, I returned to the yard and found that many of the flowers in the yard had many messy branches and dead leaves due to neglect.

He frowned slightly, searched around the yard, and finally found a pair of fruit shears in a tool box in the corner. He trimmed the flowers in the yard and cleaned the ground.

After I cleaned up the yard, I looked at the clock and it was already past four. I went to the kitchen to get the chicken and fish out, stir-fried the chicken, and stewed the fish in the pot.

Take out the rice cooker, wash the rice, and set the timer.

5:40 p.m.

Mu Yunxi's car stopped in the yard.

Ye Chenchuan, who was watering the vegetable garden at the door, turned off the water and walked in: "Didn't you say you would be back at six? Why are you back so early?"

"I finished work early today. I'm back! Wow! It smells so good! What delicious food did you make?"

Working in a tea factory is not like working in a company. Sometimes you start earlier, sometimes later, but generally the difference is only about 20 minutes.

Mu Qingyuan rarely extends the workers' working hours and usually lets them leave early.

Ye Chenchuan saw that Mu Yunxi's clothes were soaked with sweat: "I fried a chicken and stewed fish soup. You go upstairs and wash up first, change your clothes, and the food will be ready soon."

Mu Yunxi pulled at her wet clothes and said, "Well, although I haven't eaten it yet, I can tell from the smell that your cooking skills must have become even better!"
