Chapter 279

After leaving the silk and satin village, Le Yiren took Le Tongtong to the grain shop.

With so many people eating, and making all kinds of snacks, the consumption of food is astonishingly fast.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the grain shop already knew Le Yiren, and when he saw Le Yiren coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

The Leyi people asked for some of the various grains they needed, and asked the shopkeeper's staff to deliver them directly to the shop.

Otherwise, she would have no way to transport the food back by herself.

After paying the money, Le Yiren walked briskly out of the grain shop with Le Tongtong.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Le Yiren suddenly thought that she had never visited this town carefully after being in the town for so long.

Although they come out occasionally, they usually go straight to their destination, and go back quickly after buying what they need.

Thinking about it, it has been almost a month since I came to the town, so I might as well take Le Tongtong for a stroll while I have nothing to do today.

Le Tongtong is a child, and children are always full of interest in shopping.

So after walking all the way, the mother and son were very happy talking and laughing.

Unknowingly, the two came to a stone bridge in the town.

The stone bridge is a very old small bridge, about two meters wide and three to four meters long, and there is a winding river flowing quietly under the bridge hole.

Standing on the stone bridge, looking at this ink-splashed town, people in Leyi only feel relaxed and happy.

If there is nothing bad about it, living here is really a very good thing.

"Mother, what does it smell like? It smells so good!"

As Le Tongtong said, he kept wrinkling his nose and smelling, as if he wanted to find the source of the fragrance.

Hearing what Le Tongtong said, Le Yiren also noticed the faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.

Taking a deep breath and feeling it carefully, Le Yiren smiled.

No wonder it is so fragrant, it turns out to be sweet-scented osmanthus.

It's just that the sweet-scented osmanthus doesn't bloom until August?
How come there is already sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance in early July?
Le Yiren felt strange, took Le Tongtong's hand and walked towards the source of the fragrance.

After getting off the stone bridge and turning a corner, Le Yiren saw a tall osmanthus tree.

The trunk of this sweet-scented osmanthus tree is about as thick as Le Tongtong's waist, and it can be seen that it has lived for many years.

Looking up, I saw lush branches and small yellow flowers densely packed among the green leaves, dazzling and beautiful like stars in the dark night.

"Mother, what kind of tree is this? Why is it so fragrant?" Le Tongtong kept taking deep breaths as he spoke, as if he couldn't smell enough.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Even though the sweet-scented osmanthus grows small, the fragrance can waft for miles when it blooms." Le Yiren said as he pinched a small flower and put it in his mouth.

"Mother, why did you eat the flowers?"

Seeing Le Yiren's actions, Le Tongtong was overwhelmed with surprise.

Rubbing Le Tongtong's little head, Le Yiren smiled, "Has Tongtong forgotten? There is osmanthus in the cold cake made by mother, and osmanthus is edible."

Hearing Le Yiren's reminder, Le Tongtong suddenly realized, "That's right, I said why the smell is so familiar. Then mother, should we pick these sweet-scented osmanthus flowers home? Then mother will not need to spend money in the future. I bought it."

Le Yiren burst out laughing when she heard the words, and before she could say anything, she heard a slightly bitter voice say:

"Hey, look at how poor you are, you want to pick every flower you see and go home, do you want to dig up all the trees and take them away?"
