"...Here, have this, fresh autumn plums. My grandpa brought some back when he helped with the harvest a couple of days ago," Lian Manman said, as she took out a handkerchief and wiped the already clean autumn plums once more before handing one to Shen Qian.
The autumn plums were in season, not very large, but because they were fully ripe, they had a rosy glow all over. Even before taking a bite, one could smell their fresh aroma. The plums were juicy and fibrous, very tasty, and could also stave off hunger. There was a saying in Burner Pot Village, "The plum tree that feeds and kills."
Shen Qian wasn't picky and started eating the plum right away.
"...They said they were coming to see you. I wanted to come, but Sixth Brother wouldn't take me, saying there were too many people and it was a serious matter. I had to pester Sixth Brother for a long time before he agreed to bring me," Shen Qian shuffled closer to Lian Manman, "Manman, do you think I'm good to you?"
