Hearing An Xuyuan’s words, Zhang Yulan snapped out of her thoughts. It took her a moment to recall his question, and she replied, "Oh, those soaps were given by Sister Jueyu. She made them herself."
"Brother An, the quality of this soap is much better than the ones sold in the supply store, right?" she asked with a grin.
Compared to the soap sold in the state-owned supply store, this soap was indeed of higher quality. Not only did it have more bubbles and smell nice, but it could also remove oil stains easily.
He nodded and agreed, "Mhmm, it cleans oil stains easily."
When she heard this, Zhang Yulan stood up and went to the woodshed. When she returned, she was carrying a jar in her arms.
She placed the jar on the balcony and said, "Brother An, you can have this jar of soap. We still have several jars, and they will last us a long time. If you need more, just let me know."
Seeing how generous she was, An Xuyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are giving me so much—won’t your brother or your parents scold you later?"
"It’s not much at all. Sister Jueyu gave us two big jars. Even if I give you two more jars, my brother and parents won’t be angry with me," Zhang Yulan replied casually.
"Then, I won’t be polite with you. Thank you, Yulan," An Xuyuan said with a smile.
"You are welcome."
After he finished washing the dishes, An Xuyuan carried the jar and walked to the front yard. He placed the jar in his bicycle’s front basket and said, "It’s late now, I should leave. Remember to lock the door after I leave."
"Okay," Zhang Yulan nodded.
Before leaving, An Xuyuan looked at her for a moment and said, "I will come to visit you again when I have free time."
Thinking that he wanted to come and check on the wheat seeds, Zhang Yulan nodded and said, "Brother An, leave the matter of the seeds to me. I will make sure they are completely dried and cleaned."
Hearing her reply, An Xuyuan sighed and nodded helplessly as he thought, ’She is so clueless.’
After he left, Zhang Yulan locked the door and returned to the house. When she opened her bedroom door, she was startled by her mother. Patting her chest, she asked, "Mother, what are you doing standing there?"
When she finished her words, she walked over, supported her mother as they walked to the chair, and asked, "Mother, do you need anything? There is still some soup in the kitchen. If you are hungry, I can make a bowl of noodles for you."
Before she left, Mother Zhang held her daughter’s hand and said, "No need. Yulan, take a seat."
