Chapter 156

156 Mother Is Back!

When she got close to the Liu family’s courtyard, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of laughter. The originally quiet little courtyard actually sounded very lively at this time.

Mo Ruyue slowed down the speed of the carriage and finally stopped outside the Liu family’s courtyard.

It was brightly lit inside, and many children could be seen sitting around a stone table in the courtyard. The Liu couple was surrounded by them, and their faces were already smiling like flowers. The alluring smell of food floated out from inside.

Although they couldn’t see what was on the table, they could tell from the smell that there was meat. It seemed that the children had come to the Liu family for dinner.

!!

A large stone in her heart was lifted, but Mo Ruyue didn’t immediately go in to join them. Instead, she sat on the carriage and quietly looked at the warm scene in the courtyard.

Ever since they lost their son, the Liu family’s small courtyard had always been lifeless. It was rare to have such a happy moment.

Mo Ruyue dismissed the idea of going in to pick up the children, hoping that the exchange could last a little longer. Thus, she got off the carriage and led the big mule, trying to walk in the direction of home as quietly as possible.

After she went home and unloaded the carriage, Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to light up the lights. If the babies saw that the lights here were on, they would know that she was back. She would let them play a little longer and it would not be too late for her to go and pick up Tang Tang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she entered her interspace again. This time, she didn’t go to the mushroom house, but to the herb field.

The herbs picked from the magical valley were all planted here, and in just two or three days, the number of herbs planted had doubled.

As for the herbs she had planted before, they grew far away like a grassland.

In the past, Mo Ruyue had planted grains, vegetables, and flowers in the interspace, but now it was squeezed into a private plot of land by the herbs.

She had also tried to take care of it once. Anyway, she only needed to control the crops in the space with her mind. She used the left field as a medicinal field and the right field as a grain and vegetable field. There was a clear and wide road in the middle, indicating that they should not interfere with each other.

However, after a period of time, some of the herbs grew to the field on the right, and it only gave food and other things to squeeze into one place.

Mo Ruyue still hadn’t fully understood this interspace. She was only guessing in her heart. Perhaps this space was more suitable for growing herbs?

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she didn’t think about it anymore. Anyway, no matter what she planted, she wouldn’t lose out.

The value of the herbs was obviously higher, but she was not afraid of a famine if they were not aged well.

The maturity cycle of the food here was particularly fast. Now, the granary in the mushroom house was filled with food, enough for her and her babies to eat for ten years.

She had also placed the vegetables in a separate compartment. There was a clock from the clock house on the outside, and the time on the clock was constantly counting down.

The remaining time would be the preservation time of the vegetables, which was about ten years.

The timer had suddenly floated out of the mushroom hut and landed in her hand when she was worried about the preservation period of so many vegetables when she came in to collect them.

Because she knew that those clocks had different functions, Mo Ruyue had specially done experiments to figure out the use of the clocks.

Unfortunately, these clocks were only effective in this interspace. They would become decorations outside, so Mo Ruyue couldn’t use these clocks to control time in the outside world.

The reason why the old woman’s condition had recovered so quickly and well in the past two days was also due to the effects of the herbs in the spatial herb field. She had originally planned to make them and ask about the market price, but now that they had been used up, she had to pick some more and make them again.

After choosing the herbs she needed, Mo Ruyue came out of the space. In the outside world, she had only disappeared for a moment.

Mo Ruyue walked around the courtyard. Even without the lights, she could still see clearly. All the household chores had been done, the floor was swept clean, and the water tank was full. Even the water in the big tank she used to raise the fish was so clear that the bottom could be seen.

The food trough and jar of the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep were also full. It seemed that during the time she was not at home, the babies had taken care of the house well, and she really did not need to worry about it.

After this round, Mo Ruyue’s heart was completely at ease. It seemed that as long as their safety was guaranteed, she could go without worry even if she had to leave for a long time.

After about an hour, Mo Ruyue lit the candle in the room and prepared to go and bring the babies back.

The babies should have finished their dinner by now. After chatting with the Liu couple for a while, it was time for them to come back for their evening classes.

She lit a few more torches and walked in the direction of the Liu family’s house.

Just as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, a little person suddenly ran out from inside. When he saw her, he immediately shouted in surprise, “It’s Mother! Mother is back!”

That was San Bao. He was the most active one. Whenever there was a commotion, he would always be the first to rush out. This time, he was also the first to rush out to welcome her.

“Mother, you’re back?”

“Mother!”

“Mother!”

With the calls, the babies who were still in the courtyard ran out like a swarm of bees. Even Da Bao, who was always steady, trotted a few steps. Only when he saw Mo Ruyue’s figure did he change to a slow walk.

Mo Ruyue couldn’t care less about laughing at him for trying to cover up. Her arms were full of little turnips, and she couldn’t care about that after holding one.

She hadn’t seen them for two days, and the babies were all very close to her.

“I saw that the candles in your house were lit up just now, so I was wondering if you were back. But before I could tell the babies, you came.”

Aunt Liu also followed behind, half leaning against the door frame, and said to Mo Ruyue with a smile, but there was a trace of disappointment in her tone that could not be hidden.

Mo Ruyue knew that she just wanted to spend more time with her babies. Otherwise, with the distance between her house and the Liu family, she would have told her babies that she was back in time.

“I’ve just returned,” she replied with a smile, “I’ve unloaded the carriage first before coming to pick up the babies. Aunt Liu, they’ve caused you two a lot of trouble these past two days.”

Although she had only entrusted Tang Tang to the Liu family, she could easily guess that the two elders would not only care about Tang Tang alone. She was afraid that the boys had also been eating at the Liu family’s house for the past two days.

Sure enough, San Bao rushed to say, “Mother, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu have been cooking for us for the past two days. We haven’t even woken up for breakfast. Grandpa and Grandma have already prepared the food and sent it over. We haven’t turned on the stove in our house for the past two days.”

“Even Mr. Du’s lunch was covered by Grandpa and Grandma. They said that we can’t delay our study time.”

Si Bao also added.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of these two days to hone his cooking skills. Although he was young, his cooking now was very delicious, not worse than those of adults.
