Qiao Xuan picked up some mulberries and plums from the garden, washed them and put them in bamboo baskets for everyone to satisfy their cravings after lunch.

She did not work in the field, so she tried her best to let the whole family eat well.

But she did not see any cucumbers and she wondered if cucumbers were commonly-seen at this time around.

Otherwise, she could slice cucumbers and stir the slices with noodles. They would be tasty and fresh.

As long as she loved it, she could let the fruit trees grow all kinds of fresh fruits throughout the whole year.

But that was not very scientific and she might cause a sensation. At this time, the loquats were already out of season, and there was still a small portion of plums, mulberries, and bayberry. They would go out of season in about ten days at most.

But peaches, grapes, watermelons could be eaten again, then figs, and then pears, dates, and pomegranates would be ripe enough.

Eldest Uncle was still very angry with Ms. Fang. He was wearing a bad look on his face. The whole family had been fed up with the second and third sections of the family during the past few years, and they did not want to slow her down or hold her back when their mother took the lead and protested against it. So no one cared about Eldest Uncle’s look.

That made him feel even worse.

In silent mutiny, he stopped the work of his own family but went down to the third section of the family to help him.

Third section of the family was not giving him a good time. Liulang was someone who worked over a desk, and there were no other sons who worked in the field.

Eldest Uncle just could not stand that the third section of the family missed the spring plow.

But the second section of the family felt very imbalanced in their hearts, thinking that their eldest brother should be fair. He could not just help the third section of the family, but also the second section of the family!

Eldest Uncle felt very uncomfortable.

In his opinion, they were brothers. They just lived separately because they had more and more new people coming to the place. But the whole family was still one.

The whole family should stay together, and help each other. As long as they combined forces, they could all have a better life.

He really did not think that it was a problem, if his sons worked hard for the other sections of the family.

Nephew Liulang was physically weak, and he could not go down and work in the field, so he felt that it was totally normal if he helped out his third brother and his family.

But what did his second brother mean, when he had so many helpers?

Why must he go and help them? When he refused to, he was considered as not being fair.

It was not about fairness…

It seemed that the second brother and his family did not understand the idea of being one family.

Eldest Uncle felt really emotional.

He tried to explain to the second section of the family, which made Second Uncle further irritated. But he stopped, when he thought of how his wife got a maid from the first section of the family.

Eldest Uncle felt better thinking that he had managed to convince his second brother. “Look, he understood it. He can see through my ideas…”

Ms. Fang did not care about her husband working for the third section of the family.

He could continue to be there. As long as his own family was on the right track, he could be left alone.

They had not been to the town for days, and Shao Xiaoqi had not hunted in the mountains, so Ms. Fang bought some tofu from the wandering sellers.

Qiao Xuan made food at night. Tofu was fried in oil and browned on both sides. She was going to make a dish of stir-fried tofu with green peppers and mushrooms.

A large catfish was killed, and she stewed it with the sauce which had been mixed with noodles for lunch.

Two more crucian carp were killed, and after the cuts were made, they were wrapped in flour and fried, and then braised.

She also made another fresh bamboo shoot soup and one dish of fried beans.

A table consisting of five dishes made a good meal.
