"Luoluo, let's come tomorrow morning and pick them. I want to go to the market in town tomorrow to buy some ingredients for pickling."

"Luo Yu, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Tomorrow is the market day in town. My mother wants to take my father's carpentry work to deliver it to customers, and also see if there are any new customers who need carpentry work. I asked my mother if I could go with you."

"Well, shall we go back today?"

"Yeah, I think it's okay." Lin Luoluo said as she prepared to carry the basket.

Luo Yu stopped her, and Lin Luoluo looked at Luo Yu in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Luo Yu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong. I just thought that you were already carrying a basket when you first arrived. Now you can hold Ah Ci and I'll carry him."

Lin Luoluo said helplessly: "Girl, I thought you found something. You just arrived with nothing in the basket. Are you still fussing about this? If I brought my brother here, I would also let you carry the basket. Just hold Ah Ci and let's go home."

"But,,,"

"Oh, don't say but, just hold Ah Ci tightly, let's go, this garbage is not heavy, if I'm tired, it's not too late to exchange with you."

"Okay, then if you're tired, you have to tell me so we can take turns."

After saying that, Luo Yu walked towards Luo Ci, picked her up, and the three of them walked back.

We saw a lot of things to dig on the way, whether they were wild vegetables or medicinal herbs, but Luo Yu was not in a hurry. He would find time to come back later. He would go home to do some work first and go to the town tomorrow to check out the situation.

While walking on the road, Luo Yu carefully protected Luo Ci. When she looked down, she saw Luo Ci also carefully holding her neck, staring at Luo Yu with her big eyes.

"Ah Ci, I'll take you to town tomorrow and buy you some delicious food."

"Really? Sister is going to take Ci to town too?"

"Of course it's true. My sister is going too, so she has to take you with her."

"Well, then Ah Ci and Ah Jie will go together."

Lin Luoluo looked at the two sisters who were so warm and cozy, and said, "You can take Ah Ci with you, but I can't take Luoyang with me, otherwise I will have to run around the whole town twice."

Thinking of Luoyang's personality, this is indeed possible. Luo Yu smiled and said, "Luoyang is still young and impatient. He will probably be more stable when he grows up. If he is still young, your aunt will not let you take him."

"Yes, take him with you, and I will follow him all the time."

We chatted and laughed and soon arrived home.

After returning home, Luo Yu put Luo Ci down and let her play in the yard by herself.

I had originally been planning to put some chili peppers in the pickles, but when I thought of Luo Ci and Lin Luoyang, the two little ones would also want to eat them, so I cancelled the idea of ​​adding chili peppers and instead pickled them separately.

The pickle jars have been washed and dried. It is just as the aunts said, all the belongings from the past have been moved here, although they are a little worn out, but they can be used, such as the bed boards and the current jars. After the pickles are filled, there are still a few empty ones on the side, the more the better.

Looking at the vegetables that had been blanched in the morning, which had turned yellow, Luo Yu and Lin Luoluo brought in two of them. After washing his hands, Luo Yu put the vegetables in and poured in the soup from the pickling in the morning. He added some salt, covered the lid, and sealed it with water. After a few days of fermentation, he would have pickles to eat.

There were still some radishes left. Luo Yu saw that they were almost dried, so he added the garlic and onions, stirred them, seasoned them, and added them to the jar.

Lin Luoluo saw that everything was ready and remembered the general steps. She thought it was not difficult and asked Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, watching you pickle it, I think it's quite simple."

"It's quite simple, with not many seasonings. I also pickled three jars of pickles today. Luoluo, I won't let you take them back. Once they're pickled, I'll taste them and then send them to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll go bad and your hard work would be in vain."

"Luo Yu, don't say that, let's just wait."

"But aren't we going to pick these peppers today and prepare to pickle them together? I see you didn't even put any in."

"Ah, you mean chili peppers. I was going to put some in, but since Ah Ci and Luo Yang are still young, they won't be able to handle spicy food. So I decided to make chili sauce or pickle them separately."

"Then teach me how to do it!"

"I will definitely teach you, but I won't make it right now. Let's go to town tomorrow to see what ingredients we have. I'll see if I can make it taste better."

"That's fine, Luo Yu, I think it's still early now, why don't we go there again and pick the peppers, and then we can go directly to the town tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, it's still early. I thought we'd cut peppers when we got back, so let's go now!"

"Yeah, I think so."

Luo Yu looked at Luo Ci, feeling a little guilty, and was about to carry her into the mountains again.

Luo Ci didn't know her sister's inner guilt towards her, but when she heard that she was going out, she raised her little hand and said to Luo Yu: "Sister, hold me."

Lin Luoluo also poured all the peppers in the basket onto the bed, then went out carrying the basket on her back.

Having just been there once, Luo Yu had memorized the route, and holding Luo Ci, they quickly walked towards the chili field. Both of them consciously quickened their pace.

After a while, they arrived at where the peppers were. Luo Yu put Luo Ci down where she had just sat, told her not to run around, and started picking peppers.

Lin Luoluo was not like the first time she came. She asked Luo Yu whether he wanted fresh or dried ones, and just picked them all.

There were also a lot of fallen peppers on the ground, but neither of them picked them up. They will grow again next year, and anyone in the village who needs them can come and pick them.

After picking a few apples, the basket was full. Lin Luoluo didn't say a word, carried the basket on her back, and Luo Yu held Luo Ci in his arms, and they went home.

The journey back was a little slower, but they were happy. They didn't have to go up the mountain again tomorrow, as they had already done what they could today.

Luo Yu also felt a little satisfied. It had not been many days and her life was very fulfilling every day. Although it was just some farm work, it was for her and Luo Ci, so she was satisfied.

After returning home, Lin Luoluo put the peppers together with the previous ones and asked, "Luo Yu, the peppers are all picked. What can I do now?"

Luo Yu looked at it and said, "Luoluo, we have finished what we need to do today, and we have picked the peppers. Let's make dinner and you can go home after we eat."

When Lin Luoluo heard Luo Yu say that she didn't need to do anything for the time being and that Luo Yu wanted her to stay for dinner, she said happily: "Thank you, Luo Yu. Since there is nothing to do, I will go home. I will go to town tomorrow. I have to go home to ask my mother and take a look at my father's goods. I will stay for dinner another day."

When Luo Yu heard Lin Luoluo say this, he did not try to persuade her to stay. He said that they could eat at any time and said, "In that case, I will not keep you. Go home and tell Auntie that the pickles are ready, and I will bring them to her."

"Okay, it's okay. My mother will definitely be very happy."

Having said that, he was ready to leave. He wanted to touch Luo Ci's little face, but when he thought of what Luo Yu said about children having tender skin, it would be a sin to touch them with spicy food.

So he smiled and said to Luo Ci: "Ah Ci, sister Luo Luo is back home, you should listen to her."

"Well, Ah Ci is obedient."

"Go ahead. You've been busy all day. Call me when you come over tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

After saying that, he ran home without looking back.
