Chapter 345

After Ningning heard her parents say this, a relieved smile finally bloomed on her face. That smile was as bright and warm as a flower blooming in spring.

"Okay Ningning, if you don't want to have a midnight snack, then go find Suisui and Niannian to play together!" Leng Zexi looked at his son's happy smile and felt much more at ease.

He put the little guy on the ground, patted his little head gently, and signaled that he could go find his brothers and play to his heart's content.

At this moment, Leng Zexi seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added, “By the way, there are gifts prepared for you in that white suitcase. Go and open it with Sui Sui and Niannian to see what it is!”

Hearing this, Bai Yao opened the suitcase in his hand, looked at the things inside, and called Ningning, Suisui and Niannian to come over.

The children gathered together, pulling the packages in the suitcase with their hands and feet, and laughter could be heard everywhere.

At this moment, an enticing fragrance drifted into Bai Yao's nose.

He originally didn't feel hungry, but the smell immediately attracted him and his stomach started to growl.

Following the scent, I saw a large basin on the dining table.

"It smells so good! What is this? Can you give me some to try?" Bai Yao said as he walked towards the dining table involuntarily.

"It's fried noodles. Ruoan cooked a lot. Come and eat together!" Leng Zexi replied and waved to Bai Yao.

Seeing this, Lin Cai hurriedly handed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand to Bai Yao, then turned and walked into the kitchen and took out a new set of tableware.

At the same time, Xia Ruoan also walked out of the kitchen, holding two pots of green vegetables in her hands.

It turned out that considering that eating fried noodles alone might be greasy, the careful Xia Ruoan specially fried two refreshing and delicious vegetables to go with it.

There is also a basket of cherry tomatoes.

When Leng Zexi saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to take the plate and placed it steadily on the dining table.

Then, he looked at Xia Ruoan with concern and said softly: "Ruoan, you have done so much, it's really hard for you. In fact, just stir-frying noodles is good enough, there is no need to cook a special dish."

His words were full of love and gratitude for Bai Yao's wife.

Xia Ruoan shook her head gently, with a faint smile on her lips, and said, "It's nothing, those vegetables were picked and washed by your sons themselves."

"I'm just responsible for frying them." After saying that, she shrugged slightly, indicating that it was not a very strenuous task.

Hearing this, Leng Zexi turned his gaze to Xia Ruoan and asked with concern: "Even so, it's hard work for you."

"How about we eat something together?" He said, motioning with his eyes to the food on the table.

Xia Ruoan quickly waved her hand and responded, "No need. Binbin's mother just sent me some rice cakes. I've already eaten three of them. My stomach is still full and I don't feel hungry at all."

"It's right on that table. If you want to eat it, you can take it and try it. These rice cakes are salty and taste very good." As she spoke, she pointed in the direction where the rice cakes were placed.

Bai Yao and Lin Cai on the side were not polite at all. They picked up the bowl and chopsticks and quickly picked up a piece of noodles from the bowl and put it into their mouths.

I saw the steaming noodles in the bowl, which contained not only fresh and tender vegetables, but also fragrant meat chunks.

Xia Ruoan smiled and said to them, "Enjoy your meal first. I'll go to the kitchen and wash the tomatoes."

Before she finished her words, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at Xia Ruo'an's departing back, Leng Zexi suddenly remembered the previous conversation, so he turned to look at Bai Yao and asked, "By the way, didn't you just say that you had something to talk to Ruo'an about? What is it?"

Bai Yao swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "It's not a big deal. I came here mainly to ask her for some vegetable seeds."

"Because the new farm I developed over there will be officially open to the public soon, but I still need to find the high-quality seeds that my sister-in-law provided."

Then he added: "Of course, I'm not asking for these seeds for nothing. You can name the price."

"But I have one small request. I wonder if you could spare some time to visit my farm in your spare time and give us some advice on planting."

Having said that, Bai Yao looked at Leng Zexi expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from the other party.

Leng Zexi looked towards Xia Ruoan in the kitchen and said, "Ruoan, you have extra seeds, do you want to come over?"

Leng Zexi did not agree on Xia Ruoan's behalf, but looked at her and asked.

Bai Yao didn't expect Leng Zexi to help him directly.

Xia Ruoan was not sure after hearing this.

"How big is the area? I'm not sure if there are enough seeds. My free time is probably weekends. I can usually go over and help out on weekends." Xia Ruoan came out with the washed tomatoes, looked at Bai Yao and asked.

Bai Yao roughly estimated, "It's about two hundred times the size of your backyard vegetable patch."

Xia Ruoan shook his head, indicating that the number of seeds on hand was limited. "I don't have many seeds on hand, but I can ask for help from my senior brothers and sisters, and I should be able to get enough."

"Are you planning to use it all to grow vegetables?" Xia Ruoan asked curiously.

“Not entirely, we have also planted fruit trees on the outskirts and plan to raise some small animals.” However, this still requires further planning.

"Raising chickens is a good idea. We can eat them when they grow up, and chicken manure can be used as fertilizer for vegetables and fruit trees." Ningning suggested excitedly.

Bai Yao nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Raising chickens is indeed feasible, but the key lies in how to arrange their habitat, otherwise they won't even have a place to live."

"I know someone who might be able to help you," Xia Ruoan suggested.

"Gu Xingchen?" Leng Zexi turned and asked his wife.

Xia Ruoan nodded affirmatively, "He is very good at taking care of animals."

Leng Zexi glanced at her and said to Bai Yao, "I will send you Gu Xingchen's contact information later, and you can negotiate on your own."

Bai Yao looked back at him with a hint of teasing in his eyes, thinking to himself, this can't be a love rival.

"Okay, just give me your contact information." Bai Yao nodded in response.

"mine."

"I want."

Ningning and Niannian suddenly started shouting because of a toy.

Xia Ruoan was startled by Nian Nian and Ning Ning calling out to her, and hurriedly looked at them to see what was going on.
