After pulling out the last blade of grass, she turned back with a smile. The moment she saw Fu Xiao, she stood up from the ground with an excited smile on her face, "Xiao Xiao..."

She walked over quickly, hugged Fu Xiao, and pulled her towards the room. "When did you come?"

"How long will you stay this time?"

"You've grown taller, but I feel like you've lost weight..."

Fu Xiao smiled obediently, "Second Aunt, I'm not thin, I'm fatter."

"I will probably stay longer this time and will often come to your house for meals. Please don't find me annoying."

Tan Lingling smiled and glared at her, "How could I find you annoying? Auntie wishes you could eat at home every day."

"You came here by yourself?"

Fu Xiaoqing said, "I just wanted to come to the military area to see what's going on. My third brother is at work and doesn't have time."

Seeing that Tan Lingling seemed to be hesitant to speak, she smiled and said, "Third brother is doing well there. His work is now on track and his boss even praised him."

Tan Lingling didn't show it on her face, but a smile appeared in her eyes. "That's good."

"Second aunt," Fu Xiao said again, "Third brother also used his salary to buy gifts for you all. I will send them to you tomorrow."

Tan Lingling's smile spread across her face. "He is sensible, but I will have to talk to him some other day. He still needs to save his salary. He should get married in two years."

Fu Xiao and Fu Yu both laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and Tan Lingling asked, "Where do you live now?"

"I live with my dad," Fu Xiao turned to look at her, "Aunt, my dad's yard is too empty, I came to dig some roses from your yard."

"Dig," Tan Lingling looked at Fu Yu, "Xiao Yu, go get a shovel and dig some for Xiao Xiao."

She also stood up and walked to the yard. "Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, there are too many roses in the yard, especially the climbing ones. They are so annoying. They keep growing every year."

"Xiao Yu, dig out those in the corners,"

"And those sunflowers, get them all out, remember to keep the roots, otherwise they won't survive."

Tan Lingling directed Fu Yu to do his work.

She turned around and started chatting with Fu Xiao.

She looked at Fu Xiao, "My dear, where is your father's yard?"

Fu Xiao replied: "Not far from the headquarters."

"Oh," Tan Lingling thought for a moment, "I know where it is. It's not far from here."

"Xiao Yu, you dig first, I'll go find a sack."

With that she walked out.

Fu Xiao stepped into the yard and saw that Fu Yu had already dug a large pile. He said, "Xiao Yu, that's enough."

Fu Yu looked at the first few plants and said, "Finish the rest."

Tan Lingling brought over the sack, and the three of them worked together to put all the roses with roots that they had dug out into the sack.

"Xiaoxiao, plant it as soon as you get home and water it more, it will survive,"

"Yes, aunt, I understand."

The sacks were tied up and placed on the back seat of the bicycle, which Fu Yu pushed.

Tan Lingling looked at the two people who walked out of the gate and said, "I'm going to buy some groceries now. Xiaoxiao, when you're done, come back to the compound with Xiaoyu, okay?"

Fu Xiao nodded, "Okay, aunt, thank you for your help. I want to eat the roasted eggplant you made."

"Okay, I'll do it for you,"

Fu Xiao and Fu Yu pushed their bicycles and walked for more than ten minutes to get home.
