C80 Fructus

"Sister, your calligraphy is too beautiful." Aunt Chun Xiang praised him. This girl could indeed read, and the words she wrote were on par with the teachers in the academy.

"Hehe, Aunt is too kind. "Yiming, use your scissors to cut each character out one by one. Remember to cut them beautifully."

These were all models, so naturally they had to be bold and open. Temporarily, when the Apple character was introduced into the market, they would reserve a font. Whatever word you wanted, you could use it as a gift or as a confession …

"Sister, how can I help?" Aunt Chun Xiang felt that the two of them were busy, as if they were doing a great cause, and she wanted to get involved immediately.

"Aunt Chun Xiang, don't worry. Everyone will be busy soon." After the couple finished cutting off the font, Uncle Lee came back.

"Uncle Lee, it's good that you came back. I'll think about it now so that you won't be in the clouds." Luo Mannmann said in a serious tone, successfully focusing the gazes of everyone in the room.

Holding the sample font and oil paper, he said, "My way is to plant words on the apple. Everyone, think about it. What would happen if there was a mascot on the bright red apple?"

"There are even words on apples?" Isn't that too magical? " Uncle Lee's mouth was wide open in disbelief. He had never heard of this idea before. It sounded ridiculous, but the confidence in Luo Mannmann's eyes made him convinced.

"My wife, if there are words written on the apple, then the price will definitely rise greatly and attract quite a few literary guests." Xiao Yiming was eager to give it a try: "My wife just asked me to cut these fonts, is it for growing apples?"

"Smart." Luo Mannmann gave him a big compliment, "Cut the crap, I always use facts to speak. Come on, everyone, hurry up and take out a few pieces of oil paper and overlap them neatly. Then, put these words on the oil paper and cut them according to the scissors."

Luo Mannmann took the lead. She held a pair of scissors and moved it easily in front of Xuan paper and oil paper. The few of them drew a ladle with the gourd. After a morning of hard work, they cut a basket of oil paper.

As dinner was about to arrive, Luo Mannmann straightened her back and wanted to go back to the village to eat with Xiao Yiming, but she was stopped by Chun Xiang's sister-in-law.

"What's going on? Sister, it's already lunch time, so don't go back. How can I let you run around?

"Wife, there are ingredients on the donkey cart. They were all bought in the town today." Uncle Lee answered. He originally wanted to keep the guests for a meal, so he was prepared.

Chun Xiang's sister-in-law went to get the ingredients, and Luo Mannmann also went over to help. The two of them soon started chatting. Xiao Yiming and Uncle Lee chatted about their daily activities, and soon, the two became familiar with each other.

When it was time to eat, Aunt Chun Xiang prepared a table full of dishes while Luo Mannmann helped to serve the dishes.

Xiao Yiming looked at the six dishes on the table and sniffed. He complimented, "Aunt is such a good cook. The taste is delicious. Just by smelling the fragrance, you would drool."

Chun Xiang smiled and said, "These are all ordinary dishes. If you like them, then eat more."

"Aunt is too polite."

Uncle Lee was also proud of having such a capable woman. Coupled with the solution to the crisis in the orchard, he had a big smile on his face. He turned around and went to the cellar and took out the good wine that he had stored for many years.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, a rich fragrance wafted into his nose, "Come, Brother Xiao. Let's have a drink today. What is the meaning of this?"

"Uncle Lee, you're too polite." Xiao Yiming helped to pour the wine.

"Come on, everyone, let's start eating. We've been busy all morning, so there's no need to be polite." Chun Xiang quickly gave the two of them some food.

"Aunty, we're all considered to be family, so we won't be polite. We'll just pinch ourselves, hehe …" Luo Mannmann laughed.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard. A sharp female voice came out, "Chun Xiang, is there a guest? Why don't you recommend him? "

Uncle Lee instantly pulled down his face and winked at his wife. Since a guest came today, who knows what this sister-in-law might be up to.

This elder sister-in-law had long been jealous of his family contracting an orchard and earning a lot of money every year. Yesterday, she had seen his wife hang herself and even said some sarcastic words. She was truly detestable.

Although Luo Mannmann didn't understand Lee Family, she knew that she had to observe the situation. Seeing that Chun Xiang hurriedly went to clean up the paper scissors on the Eight Immortals Table, she also rushed to help.

This was the last life-saving talisman of the Lee Family, so he couldn't allow anyone else to peep inside.

Seeing that the cleaning was almost done, Chun Xiangya smiled at Luo Mannmann and said, "It's my brother's daughter-in-law. I'll go open the door first."

The moment he opened the courtyard door, he saw a colorful women coming in while wearing embroidered shoes. Her face was smeared with the inferior Rouge Water Powder and it was even smeared in an uneven manner, making people lose their appetite.

"Aiyo, I was wondering how long it took for you to open the door, Chun Xiang. You were hanging me up last night."

Uncle Lee's face immediately darkened when he heard this and said viciously, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"If you're fine, you can't come over? Guests have come to our house, hur hur. " With that, women swaggered in.

"Your big brother went to town today, and the children went to school too. I'm the only one left at home. "Hey, you've all come to visit, why can't you all just say it? Chun Xiang is so tired from cooking by herself, please ask me to come and help."

As he spoke, he smacked his lips a few times, almost drooling as he sniffed.

Chun Xiang couldn't help but roll her eyes. Sister-in-law who was lazy to eat and drink with her was the real deal. She usually didn't come to visit, but she had taken a fancy to the guests who came today.

The entire family hated her, and yet, they still wanted to get close to her. Yet, they had no eyes for her.

women directly carried the chair to the table, then said to Luo Mannmann and Xiao Yiming, "Um, I'm Li Lang's elder sister-in-law, you can call me Madame Li. Come, come, Chun Xiang is here to entertain the guests, don't make them laugh at our poor hospitality."

Uncle Lee's face darkened. This sister-in-law really thinks of him as the master of this family. Can he be any more shameless? " Elder sister-in-law, you have forgotten that this is my Lee Family and my guest will naturally welcome him on his own. "

"Look at what you're saying. The whole family is talking about something else, so the guests won't have to laugh." Madame Li gave Luo Mannmann some food and asked, "Sister, where did you come from?"

It looked like Lee Family had its own problems. Luckily, they only had three mouths of Xiao Family, there wasn't that much of difference between right and wrong, life was a lot easier.

"Auntie, stop picking at the food. It'll be a waste if we can't finish it later." Luo Mannmann did not buy her account and did not directly answer her question.

"That little girl, don't you blame her. Her sister-in-law is like that."

"Chun Xiang, how am I? "Sister-in-law, if it wasn't you, I would say that your orchard is losing money this year, yet you still eat and drink so much, what do you mean thrift? If you don't spend all your money, you can just borrow money from us."

Madame Li picked a piece of meat from the meat and didn't forget to spit.

Look at the good dishes on this table, fish, meat, and soup... Killing someone for a thousand knives is such a waste. It's like a new year, how is it like their family only gets to eat meat a few times a year?

Madame Li wolfed down her food as if she had never eaten meat before.

Chun Xiang nudged Uncle Lee with her elbow. Her eyes seemed to say, "Look at how shameful your brother is for marrying such a great woman. If it weren't for the presence of guests, he would have just thrown the broom out."

Uncle Lee saw Madame Li's chopsticks sweep across all the plates like the wind sweeping leaves. He couldn't help but twitch. Not only did this elder sister-in-law want to eat, but her mouth was so unpleasant. He coughed heavily and said with a straight face,

"Sister-in-law is right, our Lee Family has never extended a hand to borrow money from you. How about we return the 5 taels of silver that you borrowed forcefully last month?"

"What's the matter? Your blood brother will lend you some money and we'll just put it on the table. Is there a need to do this?" After saying that, he scowled in displeasure.

Eating more meat was the hard way. Luo Mannmann, who was originally a bystander, occasionally picked up a few dishes to eat while listening in on their conversation, was so greedy that she even started picking up meat clips.

Who knew that just as she reached out her chopsticks, she would start fighting with Madame Li, "Aunt, look at how you're wolfing down the food. Have you not eaten meat in years? Don't be in such a hurry, there's still more here. It's all yours, no one wants to fight with you for it. You don't need to eat so quickly. "

She called Madame Li 'aunt' and 'you'. She sounded like she was in her seventies. She wasn't even in her forties yet. What kind of gaze did this girl have? Hmph …

However, since she was a guest, he didn't argue with her. He held his breath on his face, and with a piece of meat in his mouth, his face turned red.

Chun Xiang Sister-in-Law hurriedly used the bowl to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. Actually, eating rice was fake and using the bowl to hide her laughter was real.

"Sister, brother Xiao, don't mind me. My sister-in-law is like this. Come and eat more food." Chun Xiang's sister-in-law quickly picked up a few pieces of meat and gave them to the two of them to take a bite on, so that they wouldn't be swept away by Madame Li.

Madame Li glanced at them in annoyance. She refused to let them eat, so she insisted on eating more. After the dishes on the table were almost finished, she rubbed her stomach and burped.

"Ya, it seems like my mother-in-law is calling me. Chun Xiang, remember to help me entertain this guest. I'll go take a look first. What's the matter with mother calling me?"

Seeing that Madame Li had left, Chun Xiang couldn't help but grumble, "How uncultured. Look at her appearance just now. It was as though she escaped from a refugee den. How shameful."

Uncle Lee was also angry, but he was his elder sister-in-law after all. He had to hold back in front of the guests: "Sorry about that Brother Xiao, sister, I've let you guys watch a joke. There aren't many dishes left on the table. Why don't my wife go cook a few more?"

"Uncle Lee, there's no need. Hubby and I have eaten our fill. How about this, let's pack up our bowls and chopsticks and take these oily papers to the orchard."

How could Chun Xiang allow Luo Mannmann to clean up the table? She quickly cleaned up a bit, and then the four of them took the oil paper they had cut in the morning to the orchard.

As soon as he entered the orchard, he looked up and saw a large fruit tree filled with heavy apples.
