Chapter 349 Bean Nightmare

After packing up everything, Lin Siqiao went to the vegetable garden again.

After a thunderstorm, all the vegetables in the vegetable garden entered a period of rapid growth.

The tomatoes turned more than half red after being left unchecked for two days. As for the cucumbers, there seemed to be only a few of them from the outside, but when you pulled apart the leaves and looked inside, you saw a large piece of them.

The most exaggerated thing is the long beans. I just picked a large basket of them the day before yesterday and haven’t finished eating them yet, but now I have to pick more.

Lin Siqiao was puzzled. She had never seen Lu Jianchuan take care of it, except for watering it occasionally and pulling out weeds. He had never even applied fertilizer. What did it eat to grow?

Taking another look at the peppers, green vegetables and eggplants in the yard, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she would have to plant less next year. She and Lu Jianchuan had only two mouths to feed, and they could never finish them.

It would be a waste to leave them alone, so Lin Siqiao thought about picking these things first and giving some to Aunt Fu and the neighbors.

The idea is good, but when Lin Siqiao went next door.

When Aunt Cheng's little grandchildren saw the beans in her basket, they couldn't hold back their smiles and almost cried.

Their family has been eating beans for a week and has just finished the stock, but grandma said they have to eat more tomorrow.

If you don't eat them, the beans will become old.

Lin Siqiao hasn't figured out the situation yet and was just about to ask your grandmother.

Then I saw Aunt Cheng walking in from the door carrying a basket of things.

When she saw clearly what was in the basket, Lin Siqiao knew that she could not give away her beans.

Not only did she not give the food away, Aunt Cheng also stuffed half a basket of cabbage into her pocket.

If Lin Siqiao hadn't said that they would be returning to Shanghai tomorrow night and they really couldn't finish the food, Aunt Cheng would have wanted to take a basket and send it to her.

Uncle Lu and Mr. Qi went home, and Lin Siqiao also went there.

However, their two families have always eaten mostly in the cafeteria and rarely cook in the summer, so they only charged a symbolic amount.

When Lu Jianchuan came back in the evening, he saw seven or eight green dishes on the table.

There are cold beans, stir-fried beans, beans stewed with noodles, and even the fillings in pancakes are beans.

Maybe because he ate too many beans today, Lin Siqiao dreamed about beans at night.

In her dream, she was tied up by a thick and long string bean and could not move at all.

After finally struggling free, he was entangled by it again after a while. Lin Siqiao was so angry that he bit it hard.

The next day, when Lin Siqiao saw a shallow tooth mark on Lu Jianchuan's arm, he immediately reacted.

What she bit last night was not beans, it was clearly Lu Jianchuan!

But it's not her fault, because he had to hug her in the middle of summer.

After mumbling this, she heard Lu Jianchuan say, "Well, blame me."

He admitted his mistake so quickly that Lin Siqiao had no chance to make trouble. Forget it, let's not talk about it for now.

Seeing that he was carrying a vegetable jar half a person's height, Lin Siqiao asked, "Why are you moving the jar?"

This jar seems to have been bought last winter, when I was thinking of pickling some vegetables.

But after buying it, Lin Siqiao found that she didn't know how to do it at all, so the jar was left empty in the utility room.

Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan raised his chin slightly and motioned Lin Siqiao to help him roll up his sleeves.

After she finished rolling them, Lu Jianchuan said, "We can't finish these beans, peppers, and cabbages until next month. It would be a waste to leave them there. I thought we should pickle them into kimchi."

He had a comrade-in-arms from Sichuan Province. Every autumn, his family would send him several large bottles.

It tastes sour and spicy, and is delicious when dipped directly into steamed buns or mixed with rice.

Sometimes, his comrades would do it themselves, and Lu Jianchuan would learn it after watching it a few times.

It is quite simple to pickle these. You just need to wash them, drain the water, and put them in an oil-free and water-free jar.

Put garlic cloves and peppercorns in it, then pour in the boiled and cooled salt water. Finally, seal the jar and put it in a cool place.

It's hot now, and by the time they come back from Shanghai, the kimchi will be almost ready.

Seeing Lu Jianchuan operating in an orderly manner, Lin Siqiao's anxious mood was instantly cured.

In the past, she had seen many people say on the Internet that men in Shanghai spend all day either carrying baskets to buy vegetables on the street or concentrating on cooking in the kitchen.

Over time, he lost some of his masculinity.

Lin Siqiao didn’t know what other people were like, but she felt that it was quite nice to find a man like Lu Jianchuan who loved and was good at doing housework.

…

The next day at around five o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived in Shanghai on time. This time, the two wanted to give their family a surprise, so they didn't call to inform them in advance.

The main reason is that today is Saturday. If Mr. and Mrs. Lu have nothing to do, they will go back to the old house to have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma Lu.

It was already past six in the evening when the two arrived at the Lu family's old house, and the Lu family had just started dinner.

When they heard the knock on the door, they were quite surprised. Who would come at this time?

When Mother Lu opened the gate and saw her son and daughter-in-law, whom she had been thinking about day and night, standing outside, she was stunned and her eyes started to turn red.

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lu Jianchuan cleared his throat and said, "Mom, I brought your daughter-in-law back."

By the time Mother Lu reacted, her hand had already stretched out uncontrollably.

After hitting him a few times, Mother Lu scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, you are always like this every time you come back."

"Luckily your mom doesn't have a heart disease, otherwise she would be scared to death by you sooner or later."

"Look at you, you didn't even bother to call me, leaving me completely unprepared."

As he said this, he pushed the troublesome guy aside and saw that Lin Siqiao was thinner than the last time he came back.

Mother Lu's brows immediately frowned, thinking that she must give her good nourishment this time when she came back.

In fact, Lin Siqiao didn’t really lose weight, it was just that when she came back last time, it was almost winter.

I was wearing several layers of clothes at that time.

Now that I wear less, I naturally look thinner visually.

Mother Lu patted her hands and said distressedly, "You must be exhausted from the journey. Stay at home for a while longer this time. I will give you a good rest."

Lin Siqiao shook her head. She had eaten and drunk well along the way and had no worries at all.

Fortunately, there were two older brothers and sisters in the same carriage, otherwise, Lu Jianchuan would have almost brought the food back to feed her.

But this is my mother-in-law's wish, so she will just take it.

Lin Siqiao called out "Mom" obediently, and then said, "Mom, I'm really not tired. It's Jianchuan who didn't sleep well last night because he was watching over the luggage."

This was the first time Lin Siqiao officially called her mother.

She and Lu Jianchuan had discussed it on the way and they had already obtained their marriage certificate, so it would be inappropriate to call her Aunt Lu now.

As for the fee for changing her name, she didn't even care about the betrothal gift, so naturally she didn't care about this.
