Chapter 986: How Would They Have Such Expensive Fruits?
Liu Duo’s flat belly had already grown into a bulge. Although she was only about three months pregnant, her tummy was much larger than other women who were three months pregnant.
Ye Yang and the other three now had a new hobby. Whenever they had time, they would go and touch Liu Duo’s pregnant belly.
“Little Duo, you look so good when you smile so you should stop frowning.” Ye Liu smiled and patiently tried to make her happy, “Three days will pass in the blink of an eye. There’s no need to be so impatient.”
Ye Ling, on the other hand, took out a piece of fruit and changed the topic. “Duo Er, this peach has already turned soft. I will peel it for you to eat.”
It was actually a kiwifruit that they’d bought while they were passing through a big town. Ye Yang and the others had never seen or eaten it before.
After all, Anping Town was just a very small place. How would they have such expensive fruits?
A single kiwifruit already cost twenty wens!
Liu Duo really turned her attention when she heard him.
She laughed. “Ling, that is a kiwifruit. Why can’t you remember it? Hahaha…”
She’d already told Ye Ling a dozen times but he just couldn’t remember.
Liu Duo became very excited when she saw this fruit as this had been her favorite fruit to eat back in her previous life, bar none!
It was sweet and sour, and also rich in Vitamin E.
Ye Yang and the others, on the other hand, didn’t like it. It wasn’t because it was expensive. Perhaps it was because men didn’t really like to eat foods that were sweet and sour?
“Because I don’t think it looks like a monkey,” Ye Ling said slightly awkwardly with his gentle voice. [1]
He also felt very upset and didn’t understand why he couldn’t remember the name of the kiwifruit.
Liu Duo laughed even more when she heard what he said.
She actually also felt quite curious why they called it a kiwifruit. It looked completely unlike a monkey!
This little episode ended very quickly. Liu Duo’s temper came quickly but also left just as quickly…
Three days later.
The moment Ye Mo said they arrived, Liu Duo pushed open the curtain on the window. When she saw what it was like outside, she exclaimed.
“Wow… so this is the capital? This place is just too lively and bustling!”
She saw rows and rows of magnificent traditional styled buildings and she really liked them.
While they were on their journey here, they passed by quite a few big towns that neighbored the capital. They had already seen quite a few big buildings in those areas, but the capital was even more stunning!
It was only those poor and backward places that didn’t have so-called two-story buildings.
Ye Yang and the others actually also felt quite stunned in their hearts. It turned out the outside world was so colorful.
“Let’s find an inn to stop at and have a good rest before we go stroll around.” Ye Liu’s cheerful voice rang out.
He would not allow Liu Duo to go stroll around the streets right now!
She was definitely exhausted after sitting in the carriage the entire morning. They needed to find somewhere to have a good rest. In any case, they were not in a rush.
Liu Duo’s smile faded slightly in response. However, she still nodded. “Okay, let’s go find an inn.”
While on their journey, they ate well, drank well, and slept well. Ye Yang and the others were quite willing to spend money.
Ye Mo drove the carriage around trying to find an inn. He would stop from time to time to ask for directions from pedestrians…
In the end, they stopped their carriage in front of a place called the Peaceful Inn.
There were two doormen at the Peaceful Inn’s entrance. When they saw a stopped carriage, one of them immediately went forward with a smile.
“Are the two of you young men stopping for a meal or for a stay? Not only do we have many dishes to choose from, but I guarantee you will have a comfortable stay.”
Ye Yang and Ye Mo exchanged glances. The signature expressions on their faces still remained unchanged.
