Meng Chuyuan was a recognized abandoned wife in the wealthy circles. Her husband was rarely home, and her brother-in-law and mother-in-law were both notoriously bad-tempered.
Everyone laughed...
Chapter 28 Don't mess around, just follow me
The other two groups had already set off to the town to choose gifts, and only Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen returned home.
After returning, Lu Jinsen locked himself in the room out of anger and refused to communicate with Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan acted as if nothing had happened to her. She sat down and took a sip of water. Suddenly, she remembered that day when she went to visit the countryside, she found several osmanthus trees nearby. She could smell the fragrance of osmanthus from a distance...
Thinking of this, Meng Chuyuan got up and went to the kitchen to get a basin and scissors, then went out.
Meng Chuyuan came to the osmanthus tree, looked at the dense osmanthus flowers, took out a pair of scissors and began to break branches.
[Oh no, what is Sister Meng doing? ]
[It's already this late, why is she still in the mood to pick flowers?]
[This is too much. I just became her fan not long ago, but I'm already thinking about quitting and turning against her.]
【Want to quit being a fan and back down +1】
The audience in the live broadcast room cursed while watching, and soon Meng Chuyuan had returned with a full pot of osmanthus flowers.
Meng Chuyuan divided the osmanthus flowers he brought back into branches and placed them aside to dry naturally.
Lu Jinsen just happened to come out of the room at this moment, and saw two boards of osmanthus flowers suddenly hanging in the yard, and he couldn't help but frowned.
He was a little curious and wanted to ask, but his thoughts and actions seemed to be at odds.
In the end, Lu Jinsen chose to ignore her and prepared to go out, but before he took a step out of the yard, he was stopped by Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Go prepare the gifts."
Lu Jinsen had been thinking for a long time in the room. Although they didn't exchange the funds, they couldn't just give up like that.
The thought of other groups having gifts to give out tomorrow while theirs doesn’t is so embarrassing.
Meng Chuyuan said softly, "So you've come up with a solution?"
"No." Lu Jinsen responded to her coldly.
"Then stop messing around and just follow me."
Lu Jinsen snorted lightly and looked at her with disdain.
Do you want him to mess up together and embarrass himself in front of the whole village tomorrow?
He's not buying it this time.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Chuyuan said calmly: "Since you don't have any ideas, I'm just preparing them, so why bother with this?"
Lu Jinsen's cold eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of surprise and doubt: "Are you ready? Where are you?"
He looked up and around, but didn't see anything in the yard. Finally, his eyes slowly fell on the osmanthus flowers behind Meng Chuyuan.
Could it be that she wanted to give dried osmanthus flowers to someone else?
Lu Jinsen denied the thought and looked up at Meng Chuyuan: "Where are the things you prepared?"
"Here it is." Meng Chuyuan suddenly turned sideways and pointed at something drying in the wind on the bamboo board.
“…” It’s true, what you fear will come true.
Lu Jinsen's face was gloomy, his cold eyes filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"What are you teasing me for? Rock sugar hawthorn and osmanthus sponge cake aren't enough."
Lu Jinsen's expression improved slightly when he saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
"Can you do it?"
Meng Chuyuan: "Nonsense, how dare I say that if I can't do it?"
[So this is what Sister Meng was planning. I thought she was really going to give up.]
[Sorry, it was too early to say I was no longer a fan. I need to retract it.]
[Retract +1, I won't say that again.]
[Sister Meng is indeed a king. The young master, who is a bronze player, is completely helped by her.]
[Lu Jinsen, you kid actually don't believe your sister Meng]
[Sister Meng can do anything you can't imagine, but there's nothing she can't do, hahaha]
When Lu Jinsen heard her words, his worries gradually dissipated and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Jinsen saw that there didn't seem to be many osmanthus flowers and hawthorns, and he became worried again: "How much of what you prepared can you make?"
Meng Chuyuan said bluntly: "I can't do much."
After a while, Lu Jinsen offered, "Let's go up the mountain? Let's pick some more."
It was a rare occasion that the two of them had the same idea, so they went up the mountain again and returned to the place where they picked hawthorns today.
Meanwhile, the other two groups had arrived in town.
I don’t know if they didn’t see the gifts they liked or if the things were too expensive, but they came out empty-handed after visiting several department stores.
"Yanyan, let's go take a look ahead."
Liao Jiayan sighed and said helplessly, "This is the only way."
They only had a little over fifty yuan on them and really didn't know what to buy.
Qi Zhen's group gave many examples of things they wanted to buy, but in the end they were discouraged by the prices.
After shopping for a while, Qi Yan gradually lost her patience: "What can I buy with this little money?"
"Why don't you buy some fruit and take it back?"
At the beginning, when they were still discussing what to buy in the car, the brother and sister first eliminated fruit. They both thought that giving fruit was a bit tacky, so they wanted to give something unique.
But now, their funds are simply not enough.
Qi Yan wanted to give up, but she was unwilling to do so: "Let's wait and see, fruit is a backup."
…
Lu Jinsen's trip up the mountain was like a bandit entering a village. He picked all the fruits on the trees.
Seeing that he didn't even let go of the unripe green hawthorns, Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but reach out and slap him on the back of the head: "You picked unripe ones too?"
What forced Sister Meng to hit someone? It turned out to be the idiot Young Master, haha ...
[The young master looks like a naughty rural child]
[Sister Meng's slap completely broke my defenses. Lu Jinsen, please be more careful.]
[I can see that Sister Meng is helpless hahahaha]
Lu Jinsen turned around with a confused look on his face, and said a little aggrievedly, "I'm afraid it's not enough."
"It's useless to pick these unripe ones."
They picked a basket of hawthorns. After going down the mountain, Meng Chuyuan took Lu Jinsen to the old man's house to borrow things.
"Kid, you're here?" When the old lady saw Meng Chuyuan appear at her door again, she walked over happily to greet him.
After Meng Chuyuan came in, he first introduced Lu Jinsen to the old lady: "Grandma, this is my brother."
Lu Jinsen was stunned for a moment, then said shyly, "Hello, grandma."
"Hello." Seeing that Lu Jinsen was tall, handsome and polite, the old lady smiled even brighter.
Meng Chuyuan: "Grandma, I want to borrow the cart you used to pull sweet potatoes last time. I also want to borrow some glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour. Do you have any?"
Just now, when they came down from the mountain, it was very difficult and they were afraid of accidentally knocking down the hawthorns. They still had a long way to go back, so Meng Chuyuan went to the old lady's house to borrow a cart.
By the way, making osmanthus sponge cake also requires ingredients. I want to try my luck with the old lady and see if I can get all these things.
The old lady readily agreed: "My child, you've asked the right person. I do have it. Please wait a moment and I'll get it for you."
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
After a while, the old lady not only pulled out the cart, but also took out the glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour that Meng Chuyuan wanted.
