As you get closer, you can smell the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, a particularly elegant scent that is very alluring.
She never liked scented tea, but she actually wanted to try it. But there was only one cup, and even if Wen Shanshan was generous, she was too embarrassed to ask Qingzhi to drink a cup of tea with her. It was not appropriate.
Seeing someone greet her so enthusiastically, Xu Qingzhi smiled and said politely, "Shanshan, please go in and sit for a while. It's sunny outside. My mother is going to cook a few big dishes for lunch today, so you may have to wait."
"It's okay, I'm right here. I felt hot when I was driving before, but it's cool and comfortable standing under the shade of this persimmon tree." Wen Shanshan was standing next to her idol, feeling so happy. Suddenly she remembered the task her mother had given her, and said, "Qingzhi, I want to buy some food this afternoon and go back to eat it in the evening, is that okay?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, tell me what you want to eat and how much you want, and I'll ask my dad to pick it. Or if you want to experience the fun of picking, you can pick it yourself, it's all fine."
The vegetables at home, those that grow fast have already ripened, and some are still tender and can be eaten in two or three days.
"I haven't picked vegetables by myself yet. If I could, I would like to pick them by myself. It must be fun." Wen Shanshan looked at the vegetable patch in front of the house and thought about buying some cucumbers, tomatoes, and water spinach. She likes to eat them, and her brother might like them too.
Her brother?
Wait, it seems like she forgot something.
Wen Shanshan looked back at the car and her heart was filled with alarm. This was not good.
She actually forgot her brother in the car!
"Qingzhi, my brother is here too. I'll go pick him up." Wen Shanshan returned to the car with an embarrassed look on her face, opened the back door, and met Wen Siran's murderous eyes.
She pretended to be calm and acted like nothing had happened: "Brother, have you rested enough? Come down."
This car was specially modified. Wen Shanshan pressed a button inside the car, and Wen Siran and his wheelchair were sent to the ground by a fixed steel plate.
Wen Siran pressed the button on the wheelchair to move forward, and Wen Shanshan pressed another button, and the steel plate was retracted into the car. It was very convenient.
Xu Qingzhi felt that since the guests had arrived, it would be inappropriate for her to lie so comfortably on the recliner without moving.
So she moved, sat up, and greeted, "Hello, welcome."
When Wen Siran saw Xu Qingzhi, he instantly understood why his sister reacted that way.
Isn’t this the same female celebrity that her sister is pursuing? She has the same face.
His sister's mobile phone wallpaper, posters in the room, various small stickers. Whether Wen Siran is a fan or not, he remembers the appearance of female stars. He also knows that his sister is chasing an 18th-tier female star. Some time ago, she was blackened by the whole network and seemed to have retired from the circle. His sister was sad for a long time because of this.
Wen Siran had not dealt with outsiders for a long time since the car accident, but the character he had accumulated in the business world would not change. He responded calmly and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Wen Siran."
"My name is Xu Qingzhi. You can just call me Qingzhi, just like Shanshan." After Xu Qingzhi introduced himself, he saw that Wen Shanshan didn't want to go in either, so he stood up and said, "It's sunny today. You guys go to the shade of the tree. It's cooler. I'll go in and get a chair."
Xu Qingzhi went into the house, fetched a chair, and brought out the washed bayberries.
There wasn't much else at home, except for bayberries. Xu Qingzhi had picked quite a few and planned to make some sour plum soup in the afternoon. This way, he would invite people to pick bayberries, and after they were done, they could drink some sour plum soup to quench their thirst.
The bamboo chair was made by a carpenter from the neighboring village many years ago. It is a raw bamboo chair and has not even been painted. People often sit on it, and it has long been polished to a shiny brown.
Wen Siran had a wheelchair and didn't need a chair, so Wen Shanshan sat on the bamboo chair, her face full of joy: "Thank you Qingzhi."
"You're welcome." Xu Qingzhi lay back on his recliner. "The bayberries are washed. You can eat some. I plan to take a nap. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, Qingzhi, go to sleep, I'll be here to protect you." Wen Shanshan said with a giggle.
The hot summer wind blew over and became cool under the shade of the persimmon tree. The leaves rustled in the wind, which was particularly pleasant to hear.
Xu Qingzhi had a nightmare last night. She dreamed that the archenemy of the immortal world was chasing her in person. She was so scared that she ran away all the way, and the archenemy was chasing her all the time.
As a result, she didn't sleep well last night.
She knew that lunch would take a while, and her eyes were a little sleepy, so she just went along with it and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Wen Shanshan ate the bayberry quietly, looking at her brother's still gloomy face, knowing that she had just done something wrong, and hurriedly handed the bayberry to her brother with an expression that said "Please accept it, sir".
Wen Siran glanced at her coldly, and Wen Shanshan smiled apologetically.
He reached out and took a bayberry and ate it. The bayberry tasted really good.
But it was really strange. He couldn't eat so many things he tried, but he could eat her bayberry and bok choy, and he felt very comfortable after eating them.
He frowned, took out his cell phone, took a photo of Yangmei, and sent it.
Wen Siran: "Brother Xiao, I have something I can eat."
Kyoto.
Jiang Xiao came out of the laboratory and received this message from Wen Siran. Looking at Yang Mei's photo, he fell into deep thought.
What a coincidence! Today, a few wealthy ladies also sent him a bayberry and asked him to check whether the ingredients in the bayberry were clean.
Those wealthy ladies are all very rich. Some time ago, they sent him a series of vegetables including cucumbers, tomatoes, and Chinese cabbage, asking him to check the ingredients.
Jiang Xiao found out that they were organic vegetables and organic bayberries, and indeed did not contain any pesticide residues. Their nutritional value was also higher than other similar vegetables and bayberries.
He smiled, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence that they were from the same family, so he typed a reply: "Being able to eat is a good start, Si Ran, you should come back for a checkup of your leg later."
After replying the message, he put the phone back into the pocket of his white coat, with a look of genuine happiness on his face that his brother was able to eat.
He walked into a ward and said excitedly: "Feng Yan, Si Ran can eat now."
The man lying on the hospital bed had skin as white as jade, and slender white fingers that made women feel ashamed of themselves. In his handsome hands, he was holding a string of turquoise jade beads with white and green tassels hanging from the beads.
He pressed his head and asked, "Who is Si Ran?"
Jiang Xiao almost forgot that Huo Fengyan had been frail since he was a child. After experiencing cardiac arrest the day before yesterday, he had lost his memory when he woke up yesterday.
Jiang Xiao patiently explained, "Si Ran and we are very good brothers. The three of us grew up together. He was injured in a car accident and later couldn't eat anything. Just now, he told me that he could eat now."
"Yeah." Huo Fengyan responded calmly, and then asked, "How long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?"
He stayed in this damn place for a whole day. The whole house was filled with stench and there was no spiritual energy at all, which was not conducive to his recovery from his injuries.
