We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

Luo Yu took Aunt Lin's protection of her to heart, and did not speak to Luo Fang again. The two of them carried water and left.

Passing Luo Fang's house, Aunt Lin started to say, "What kind of person is this Fang girl? She has such a vicious conscience. You are cousins, so she doesn't want to comfort and help you, but she wants to ridicule you. How did you survive those days at their house?"

Luo Yu knew that Aunt Lin was defending her, so she said, "Aunt, don't be angry. It's all in the past. Now they and I have separated and live our own lives. They don't dare to do anything to me and Ah Ci. I won't go to their house anymore."

Aunt Lin looked at Luo Yu and said, "It's like this. Fortunately, the head of the village insisted on separating you two. You should live your own lives from now on. If you have any problems, you can still come to me. Luo Luo is your good friend. I will ask her to come and help you in the future."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie, but the autumn harvest has been completed recently, and there is no rush to plow the land I was allocated. I will just harvest it and stay home now."

Aunt Lin thought about it and agreed. There hasn’t been much work to do recently and the work on the fields has just come to an end.

The two of them didn't say anything else and carried their loads to Luo Yu's house.

Soon they arrived at Luo Yu's house. Aunt Lin looked at the vegetable field outside Luo Yu's house. The fence was surrounded by weeds, stones and bamboo. Although the vegetable seeds had just been planted, they would grow soon, so there would be no need to worry about not having vegetables to eat in winter.

Aunt Lin asked, "Yu girl, what are you planting in your vegetable garden outside?"

Luo Yu opened the door and said, "Aunt, I only sowed radish and pea seeds in the field outside. When the cabbage seedlings in the yard grow, I will transplant some and plant them outside."

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "You are quite smart, it won't hurt to plant more. Otherwise, in winter, everything will be bare. If you have vegetables, you won't be hungry."

Luo Yu also smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, I thought so too. The radishes and cabbages have grown well. I am going to pickle some pickles, otherwise they can be eaten with rice."

Aunt Lin was also very happy when she heard that she wanted to pickle pickles. Although she had been married for many years, her family rarely ate pickles. After she got married, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law made the pickles at home. They often laughed at her, but they never taught her. She still doesn't know how to pickle pickles now. She plans to learn how to pickle pickles from the villagers this year.

Luo Yu said she would pickle them and let Luo Luo join in.

Aunt Lin said, "I don't know how to pickle vegetables yet, and I'm worried about where to get pickles this year. So I'll go to the fields to plant some more vegetables tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Then I'll let Luoluo come over and learn from you."

Luo Yu said: "Aunt, you are too polite. I don't know if I can pickle it well. I will pickle some first. If you think it tastes good, I will teach you. But you can grow some vegetables."

Back in the kitchen, Aunt Lin took Luo Yu's bucket and poured all the well water into the water tank. The water tank was quite large and it would probably take one or two trips to fill it up.

The two men took the buckets and went out again without resting, carrying their loads.

Aunt Lin continued what she had just said about pickling pickles and said to Luo Yu: "Most of these pickles taste the same, as long as they are not bad, it's fine."

Luo Yu also thought of the pickles his family had made in previous years, and then he remembered that most of the pickles at this time did not have much taste. They were just another way to preserve vegetables.

But now we have no evidence just words. When it’s marinated, let Aunt Lin taste it and we’ll know whether it tastes good or not.

Luo Yu did not refute or say anything else, but just said: "Aunt is right."

The two of them went directly to the well to fetch water, and then they had to fetch more water. It was Luo Yu's style to finish everything in one go.

After three trips back and forth, the water tank in Luo Yu's house was finally full.

Aunt Lin saw that the water tank was full but the bucket was still empty. She said to Luo Yu, "Yu girl, I'll bring you a load of water buckets later, so you can use it for two more days."

Luo Yu quickly stopped her. Aunt Lin had already carried water for him three times today, which was enough for a long time. He was already very grateful to her and couldn't trouble her to run again.

Luo Yu said: "Aunt, thank you very much today. You have helped me carry water several times. Just leave the bucket empty. I have other uses for it!"

Seeing that Luo Yu insisted and hearing that she had other uses, Aunt Lin stopped insisting.

Luo Yu had to go pick up Luo Ci and wanted to take Aunt Lin's burden to help. Aunt Lin quickly refused and said, "I can do it. You are tired enough carrying water today. I can take the burden. Let's go."

Luo Yu chatted with Aunt Lin along the way, and soon arrived at Lin Luoluo's door. As soon as he arrived at the door, he could smell the fragrance of bone soup.

When Luo Ci saw Luo Yu coming, she hurried over and hugged her, with great joy in her eyes. Her sister came to take her home.

Aunt Lin also smelled the fragrance when she entered the room, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this bone soup is so fragrant?"

Lin Luoluo came out of the kitchen at this time. After hearing what her mother said, she said happily: "I was at Luo Yu's house this morning too. I could smell the fragrance early. It will be delicious soon. Yu, you can eat at my house tonight. I have made a lot of soup!"

When Luo Yu heard Lin Luoluo invite her to dinner, she said, "I will definitely stay for dinner some other day. I have to go back today, otherwise the food at home will be wasted if we can't eat it tomorrow."

Lin Luoluo's father had already gotten up. When he saw Luo Yu, he said, "It's okay to stay and eat. Uncle Lin hasn't seen you for a long time. Thanks to you, my family had pork yesterday and we can drink bone soup today."

Luo Yu saw Lin Luoluo's father, Lin Erzhi, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Lin, is your leg better? I heard from my aunt today that you were not feeling well, so I asked you to rest and didn't dare to bother you."

Uncle Lin quickly said, "It's okay, they are just old problems."

Luo Yu was relieved and said, "Uncle Lin, I won't stay today. I have some things to do at home. I won't worry if you feel better."

Seeing that Luo Yu insisted on going home, Aunt Lin remembered that she said on the way that there were no onions at home and her basket was still there, so she said, "Since you insist on going home, we won't keep you today. Just now you said that there were no onions at home, I will pick some for you, and you can plant them when you go back."

Luo Yu said: "Thank you, Auntie. I really need some green onions."

Seeing Luo Yu's insistence, Lin Luoluo had no choice but to say, "Be sure to stay for dinner next time. I also have some specialties."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Okay, next time I will definitely stay and eat more to taste your cooking."

Uncle Lin said, "Are you two sisters doing well over there now? Uncle Lin went out to treat his leg disease a few days ago and has not been home. I have been here to take care of your family's affairs and your own affairs. I only found out about it these two days when Luo Luo told me about it. I am really sorry for you."
