章 39: Ch. 19 Part 1

When they woke up the next morning Xiao Ling made the fire and heat water in the wok for them to wash their faces, he made two cups of salt water and they used to brush along with willow twigs. After he started on with making a simple breakfast which was pancakes with eggs and congee... he served them after the cooking. Half way through their breakfast the front yard door was pushed open and Yue walked in carrying three baskets, one on her back and the two on both shoulders.... she happily walked to them and placed all three baskets at the feet of Xiao Ling before she cupped her hands and greeted 

" Master, mistress " YanZhi's gaze was fixed on the baskets as he stared indifferently at the wild strawberries filled in all three baskets making him chuckle.... Xiao Ling couldn't hold back and started laughing hard as he wiped the imaginary tears from the corners of his eyes. Yue stood there proud as she touched her nose with her finger waiting to be praised.
