NovelTrueChapter 653: Chapter 653: Golden Hook Pear
Upon hearing this, Kang Yichen’s eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but confirm, "Auntie... are you sure?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Kang Li smiled and nodded, "Auntie would never lie to you about such a matter,
now think carefully; if you really like your uncle's uniform, then decisively follow your uncle."
"Thank you, Auntie. | will consider it seriously."
Kang Yichen’s expression was exceptionally earnest.
"But remember, as a member of the Kang Family, no matter what you do, you must put forth your best effort and
never be a deserter."
This was Kang Li's encouragement to her nephew and her expectation as well.
"Auntie, | will remember that."
Kang Yichen nodded firmly.
About twenty minutes passed, and Kang Li's party reached halfway up the hillside.
"Auntie, Uncle, look over there, there's a date-plum tree!"
Suddenly, Kang Yihong called out excitedly.
"It’s a date-plum tree, Auntie. My third brother is right; it really is a date-plum tree. | see the fruits on the tree are
ripe. Let's go over and pick more to take hfor the whole family to enjoy."
Kang Yikai’s face was filled with smiles as he walked toward the date-plum trees, agreeing with his cousin Kang
Yihong.
"Be careful."

Kang Li cautioned, following closely behind her three nephews with Luo Yanging.
"It's a bit bitter." Kang Yikai picked a small handful of date-plums and squeezed a bit into his mouth to chew,
immediately his expression changed slightly, "I thought they would be sweet!"
"Date-plums are also called golden hook pears; they have a sweet taste with a hint of bitterness, but this
bitterness is not hard to accept," Kang Li said with a smile to Kang Yikai. "If you don’t like the taste, then pick
less. In winter, after the frost has hit, they will taste much better than now."
"Auntie is right. Date-plums that have been frosted in winter do taste better than those picked now," cKang
Yichen'’s voice.
Kang Yikai questioned, "How much better?"
Kang Yichen replied, "Sweeter than now, without the bitterness."
Kang Yikai blinked his starry eyes, "Really?"
"Of course, it’s true," Kang Yichen responded.
"Why?"
Kang Yikai was like a curious baby at this point, which was not surprising. Although he was a member of the
Kang Family, he had lived with his parents in the military compound since he was young; including this time, he
could count his visits to his old hon one hand—precisely, three times.
Once when he was two or three years old, once three years ago, and now this time.

At this moment, Kang Li picked a handful of date-plums and offered them to Luo Yanging, "Try these."
"Okay."
Luo Yanging nodded, received them from Kang Li's hand, and after putting a bit in his mouth, shortly after, he
said, "Indeed a bit bitter, but just the right amount."
"It's quite a unique flavor, isn’t it?" Kang Li asked with a smile.

"Exactly, they are quite nondescript, which is why the elderly in the surrounding villages often refer to them as
golden hook pears."
