Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Well Done

Chen Qiaoqin couldn’t figure out what Yu Nuannuan meant, but Gu Mo saw right through it.

How did Gu Mo know?

He would only say: if you’ve been through it, you just understand.

Chen Qiaoqin held Yu Nuannuan in one arm and, with the other, pulled the branches of ground cherries off the bed and onto the floor. Only then did she put Yu Nuannuan back on the bed.

Yu Nuannuan stared at the clusters of ground cherries on the floor, so tempted that she almost started drooling.

Before her mouth could water, she felt something touch her lips.

She looked down and saw a ground cherry with a bite taken out of it.

A chubby, fair little hand was holding it out to her—it was Gu Mo’s hand.

With food right at her lips, only a fool wouldn’t eat it.

Yu Nuannuan opened her mouth and bit into the ground cherry, sucking hard. Sweet, delicious jam filled her mouth.

So sweet and fragrant!

Yu Nuannuan’s eyes squinted in bliss. This was the tastiest ground cherry she’d ever had.

From strawberries, to eggplants, and now to ground cherries.

Once is a coincidence, twice is suspicious, but three times? Yu Nuannuan was sure it wasn’t just her imagination or luck.

Her ability really was different from her previous life.

Not only was it out of her control, but the fruits and vegetables she accelerated tasted even better.

Chen Qiaoqin fetched a basket and started picking the ground cherries, one by one, putting them in the basket.

When one basket was full, she had to find another.

When the second basket was full, there still wasn’t enough room, so she found a third.

In the end, it took four baskets to hold all the ground cherries.

The ground cherries were taken care of, but what about the leftover branches and leaves?

“Qiaoqin?! What are you doing? Locking the door in broad daylight!”

Suddenly, Xu Shuhua’s voice rang out, startling Chen Qiaoqin.

After the shock, she was delighted.

“Mom! You’re back!”

Chen Qiaoqin opened the door as she spoke. “Mom, look—”

Before she could finish, she saw Yu Gang following behind Xu Shuhua.

Yu Gang had already spotted the ground cherry branches and leaves on the floor.

Growing up in the village, Yu Gang was very familiar with wild ground cherries. He recognized them at a glance. “Fourth Aunt, why do you have so many ground cherries?”

As he spoke, Yu Gang ran inside, grabbed a ground cherry from a basket, tore off the thin skin, and stuffed the fruit into his mouth. “So good! So sweet!”

Chen Qiaoqin’s face froze. She looked at Xu Shuhua, eyes pleading, silently asking, “Mom, what do we do?”

Xu Shuhua shot her a glare. “What do you mean, what do we do? Hurry up and take them out to the backyard to dry. Once they’re dry, you can use them as kindling.”

Since Xu Shuhua had spoken, Chen Qiaoqin did as she was told.

Luckily, Yu Gang was still young. All he saw was food—he didn’t even think to ask where all these ground cherries had come from.

Delicious food had already shut him up!

Ground cherries weren’t as rare as strawberries. Xu Shuhua tried one and thought it was almost too sweet, but she didn’t care much. She said to Yu Gang, “Little Six, go call your brothers and tell them to come eat too.”

Yu Gang grabbed two more ground cherries and ran off, wobbling as he went.

Yu Nuannuan watched Yu Gang’s figure disappear into the distance and sighed inwardly.

Now that’s a real child!

Unlike the one beside her—who was basically a big shot in a child’s body.

So young, but already knew how to set up her little uncle in front of outsiders.

About this, Yu Nuannuan could only say: Well done!"
