Chapter 41: 41 Eat wild apples
Translator: 549690339
“Wife, here you go.”
Su Qingyue didn’t expect second brother to give her something, so she took the bulging cloth pocket he handed over. Just as she was about to ask him what it was for, he strode back to the kitchen before she could speak.
When she opened the cloth pocket, she found a bag of green apples inside. The apples were shiny and smooth, and they looked quite good. Did second brother specifically buy them for her?
She rummaged around and noticed that some of the apples still had tree branches attached, with fresh breaks at the ends. Now she understood – he had gone hunting in the mountains and had picked these wild apples for her, not bought them.
She felt slightly relieved. The family was so poor; if he had really spent money on her, she would feel very embarrassed.contemporary romance
It was surprising that second brother, who looked so big and strong and rough, could be so attentive.
She didn’t know his real name, but he looked much older than her. She guessed he must be around twenty-five years old. Since Petty Cat called him second brother, it would also be polite for her to address him as second brother even though she wasn’t part of this family.
She took the cloth bag into the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of water, and washed one of the apples. Biting into it, she had thought wild apples would be very sour, but the taste was actually mildly sour with a hint of sweetness. It was delicious, so she quickly finished the apple in a few bites.
Xiao Yishan saw her first frown in appraisal and thought she didn’t like it. But he had tasted the wild apple first and found it not too sour, which is why he picked it for her. He had intended for her to eat it as a snack and thought he wouldn’t have picked it if he knew she wouldn’t like it.
But after she took a bite, her eyebrows relaxed, and her expression clearly showed that she liked it. In the blink of an eye, she finished a whole apple like a rat.
Seeing her pour another basin of water and dump all the apples from the cloth bag into it, he noticed she first tried to wash the apples with her unwounded left hand. But she quickly withdrew it before it touched the water, went outside the courtyard to rinse her hand, and then returned to the kitchen to quickly wash each apple.
Apparently, she thought her hands were dirty, so she washed them first before washing the apples.
The corner of his mouth curved upward unconsciously, happy that she liked the apples. He would make sure to pick more for her in the future.
Su Qingyue squatted in front of the water basin, picked up another apple, and quickly finished it with a few bites. She threw the core back into the water and immediately grabbed another apple to eat, one after another…
By the time she snapped out of it, the entire basin was filled with floating apple cores…
She had eaten all the apples in the large cloth pocket.
She looked up and saw second brother staring at her in astonishment. She touched her slightly bloated belly, feeling embarrassed that she hadn’t shared any apples with second brother. Even though they were a gift from him, she still naa eaten tnem all DY nerselt.
Her dark face turned red in an instant.
But it wasn’t her fault – she was so hungry that she could have eaten an entire cow. Now she had only eaten a few dozen apples…
Fortunately, second brother stopped staring at her and returned his gaze to the stove fire.
Xiao Yuchuan stood in the kitchen doorway, his jaw almost dropping off. “Wife, I didn’t expect you, with your small body and stomach, to be able to eat so much. It must cost a lot of rice to feed you…” It seemed he had to work hard to make money now.
He glanced at the apple cores floating up and down in the basin, sounding a little sour, “They’re just some wild apples. There are plenty of wild fruits in the mountains. Eating so many isn’t good, or else they’ll make you choke..”
