Early the next morning, Chen Xiulan rode her family's tram to the next county town.

When I left, I didn’t forget to take the fruit I bought the day before. I took half of it and some sweet potatoes from my own house and went.

Chen Xiulan's sister, Chen Xiumei, heard yesterday that she said she was coming over today. She had already asked her two daughters-in-law to kill the chickens and was waiting for her sister to come over.

"Your aunt told me about the Xiaohuashan incident yesterday. If your aunt says something unpleasant about the second child's family, don't take it to heart."

After she got married here, she gave birth to two children. The eldest son works in the county government, and the second son liked to do some small business in the early years.

By chance, I also made a lot of money. Later I came back and took over Xiaohuashan and started planting fruit trees.

Chen Xiumei was opposed to Wu Gang planting fruit trees from the beginning. Although their Western Province is a major fruit-growing province, everything in this land depends on the sky.

If there is any bad weather, the fruit harvest of that year will be affected.

But Wu Gang insisted on his own idea and still bought Xiaohuashan. It was only after last year's loss that he was persuaded by the second family to transfer it.

"Sister, I'm here."

When Chen Xiulan arrived at the door, she shouted into the door. As soon as she entered, she saw her eldest sister coming out with a plate of chicken.

Wu Gang and his brother Wu Jian were both chatting with their eldest brother-in-law in the living room, while the women were busy in the kitchen.

"Why didn't Xiao Ming come with you today?" Xiao Ming is Chen Xiulan's grandson, and Chen Xiumei likes children.

"He's too noisy. Let him stay at home with his grandpa."

Chen Xiulan said while putting things on the wall.

"Xiao Jian and Xiao Gang, are you all having a day off today?"

"Yes, auntie."

"Come and sit down, auntie, it's time to serve dinner."

The two brothers asked their aunt to sit down.

Chen Xiumei went to the kitchen and asked her two daughters-in-law to hurry up and prepare for dinner.

Chen Xiulan couldn't sit still in the living room, so she followed her eldest sister to the kitchen.

Check to see if there is anything you need help with.

I didn’t expect that my eldest sister’s house would make quite a sumptuous meal today.

"Sister, is there any happy event today?" She looked at the fish and mutton in the pot.

Chen Xiumei looked at her and said, "Our boss has been promoted and you are coming over, so we will celebrate by making it rich."

"That's good. Ah Jian is so awesome. Look at his thick and fleshy ears. He looks like he's the material to be an official. Look, isn't he getting promoted little by little now?"

She also did not hesitate to praise her nephew.

Chen Xiumei felt happy when she heard these words, and her lips almost grinned behind her ears.

The second daughter-in-law, Lu Ping, was not so happy. She looked at her sister-in-law's back with resentment.

She and her eldest sister-in-law were married just one year apart. Both her eldest brother and sister-in-law were junior commissioners in the government department.

At that time, Wu Gang had already made a lot of money outside. He also bought a house in the county and a car.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt like she was taller than her sister-in-law. However, Wu Gang's fruit tree business in Xiaohuashan had been losing money in the past two years. After it was transferred, all other businesses were losing money.

For the restaurant business, Wu Gang not only invested the 450,000 yuan transferred from Xiaohuashan, but also sold two of his family's cars.

But the restaurant business still couldn't take off.

Both of them looked sad every day. After she got married, she took care of Wu Gang's accounts and never went to work for a day.

But now that her eldest brother has been promoted, and her sister-in-law has also been reused in the work unit, she cannot adapt to the strong contrast.

"Xiao Ping, is that dish ready?" Sister-in-law Ying Jie's voice came, interrupting her thoughts.

"Oh, okay, sister-in-law, I'll just put it out." He picked up the plate with vegetables next to him and scooped up the vegetables in the pot and took them out.

"Okay, the last dish is here, Xiaoping, please sit down and eat." Chen Xiumei also quickly invited her to come over for dinner.

"Okay mom!"

After saying that, he sat down next to his sister-in-law.

Chen Xiumei's husband, Wu Jianjun, asked his eldest son when his job would be transferred recently and he would need to work elsewhere.

Wu Jian also answered one by one.

Listening to his eldest brother talking to his father, Wu Gang looked a little uncomfortable.

I used to be the one who liked to chat with my father at the dinner table, but now I have become the eldest brother.

Chen Xiumei saw the discomfort on her second son's face and quickly stopped the two of them.

"Come on, your aunt is here too today, let's have a drink with your aunt."

"Come, come, come and touch one. The New Year is coming soon. I wish everyone can be safe and healthy in the new year and do a good job in their careers."

"Thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, auntie."

"cheers!"

Several people happily toasted to celebrate.

After dinner, the two daughters-in-law went to clean up the mess.

Chen Xiulan took her eldest sister and showed her the fruits she had brought.

He handed a few sugar oranges to his brother-in-law and two nephews.

"Auntie, why did you bring us sugar oranges when you came here?"

Wu Gang was a little confused. He grew sugar oranges before, so he was a little tired of sugar oranges.

"Try it first before talking."

Chen Xiulan didn't want to explain at this time, and Wu Jian didn't ask, and silently peeled off a sugar orange and ate it.

"Hey! This sugar orange is more delicious than the ones Xiaogang grew before."

Wu Gang didn't believe it when he heard what his elder brother said, and he quickly opened one in his hand and tasted it for himself.

When this sugar orange comes into your mouth, the juice is coated in your mouth after one bite, and the sweet pulp explodes in your mouth.

"It's really delicious. I admit that this sugar orange is much more delicious than the ones I grew before."

Looking at the sugar orange in his hand, Wu Gang thought that his aunt was from Qiaomu Bay, and asked: "Auntie, isn't this the sugar orange from Xiaohuashan in Qiaomu Bay?"

Chen Xiulan said nothing but looked at Wu Gang and nodded.

Chen Xiumei just stuffed the sugar orange into her mouth. After finishing one, she couldn't help but eat another one.

After eating sugar oranges for so many years, she is considered an expert in eating sugar oranges. She knows why the sugar oranges have become richer in water and less sweet in any year.

"Is this sugar orange still the same batch of fruit trees we planted before?"

"Yes, eldest sister, it's the same batch that Xiaogang planted before."

Suddenly, both mother and son were stunned.

What can make the fruit of a fruit tree change so much in just one year?

Wu Gang's heart was full of doubts. Chen Xiulan also said that usually this little flower mountain would be taken care of by someone.

This made Wu Gang even more puzzled. If there really was something that could make the fruit delicious, then Qiao Manman probably wouldn't let anyone else have access to it.

After all, this is her secret.

Wu Jian felt that if there was such a thing, it would have spread to other places. How could it be possible that she was the only one who had it?
