Chapter 482: Thoughts

“Bacon is the only meat for lunch.” Ye Muyu ate and drank her fill, slowly drinking the chicken soup every day. She waited until Chu Heng finished his meal before speaking up.

All the fresh meat in the house had been used up.

Fortunately, to prepare Chu Heng’s luggage for a long journey, she had prepared a lot of cured meat and smoked meat. Otherwise, the family would immediately fall into a situation of lack of meat.

“How much meat do we have at home?” Chu Heng asked.

“There’s quite a lot. There are 50 catties of bacon and a jar of pork fat. I want to use pork fat to cook for you. You can only eat it after heating it up.”

50 catties of meat was not a lot. If they had to eat meat every day at home, one or two catties of meat would definitely be consumed each day.

In half a month, the whole family could consume at least 30 catties.

Before he left, Ah Yu would definitely prepare at least 10 catties of meat for him. In the remaining 20 days, there would be no more than 10 catties of meat at home.

“I’ll go buy some bacon,” Chu Heng said.

Ye Muyu smiled faintly. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already asked Zhang Shu to help me ask. There are people willing to sell it in the village.”

“Alright.”

Chu Heng’s eyes were filled with warmth as he nodded to show that he understood.

“Mother, I’m done eating. I’m going to read.” Chu Ziluo asked as she put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Ye Muyu nodded. “Go ahead. If you’re tired, take a rest.”

“Mother, I’m not tired. It’s already a blessing for me to be able to read. Cousin

Qingyu and the others often ask me how to write and pronounce some words.”

“By the way, Mother, Cousin Qingyu, Cousin Tian, Cousin Wan, Cousin Cao’er, Cousin Juan, and Cousin Wen usually play together. They seem to be able to read, so they usually call me out to play.”

“Also, my cousins asked me if I could teach them how to read when I have time.”

Ye Muyu already knew what was going on. It seemed that the fifth and third families were basically included. Except for the daughters of the fifth and third families who were all learning to read, the other families were probably just watching.

“Ziluo, what do you think?”

When Chu Ziluo heard this, she knew that her mother was testing her. She thought about it for a while and sighed. Then, she said honestly, “Mother, only

Cousin Juan, Cousin Wen, and Cousin Wan are serious about reading.”

“The other cousins, Qingyu, Tian, and Cao’er, are all talking about jewelry.

They’re not serious about reading.”

It was not that she did not want to teach others how to read, but she felt that Cousin Qingyu and the others did not like to read. However, they would use it as an excuse to invite her over to play, which would be a waste of time.

She would rather stay at home and read books every day.

Those miscellaneous notes were quite interesting.

Of course, she was still willing to teach those who really wanted to learn.

Perhaps it was because she knew that it was not easy to be able to read, but after reading a lot of books, Chu Ziluo’s horizons had broadened a lot. She did not like Chu Qingyu and the rest’s insincere attitude towards reading.

Although she did not like it, she did not say anything unpleasant.

Hearing her mother’s question, she could not help but tell the truth. She looked at Ye Muyu anxiously, afraid that she would get angry.

“Ziluo doesn’t like to talk about jewelry?”

“Not really. Sister Qingyu originally asked me to teach her, but we didn’t end up reading. ”

Chu Ziluo twisted her fingers. “If they want to look at jewelry, they can just say it. Why use learning how to read as an excuse? I even got prepared for it..”
