The house in the village had rarely been visited by Su Yunjin and Gu Ya since they opened their store. Earlier, Su Yunjin had planted vegetables in the yard. On her return this time, Su Yunjin discovered that all the vegetables she had planted were ready to eat: cucumbers, eggplants, and green chili peppers had all grown impressively well.
Plump cucumbers, string after string of green chili peppers, and eggplants glowing with dark purple hues, the vegetables in the yard were thriving, and Su Yunjin was very pleased with them.
Picking a cucumber from the field, Su Yunjin plucked it with her hand. Since she grew them herself and they weren't dirty, Su Yunjin wiped the cucumber on her sleeve and was about to take a bite.
Gu Ya stopped her, "Yunjin, wash it before you eat." There was a well in the yard where one could easily wash with the well water, clean it properly.
