The other party was somewhat surprised when he heard this. The two families were old friends, so he naturally knew about Si Ran's situation.
If a person who has not been able to eat normally for a long time can eat vegetables, then there must be something surprising about them.
"Okay, thank you nephew first."
"It's my duty. I'm really sorry to bother you, Uncle Zhang. It's been cold recently, and it's also cold in Kyoto. Please take care of yourself."
"Okay, Si Ran, you too."
After some polite exchanges, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Xiao said, "Si Ran, I think your sister might be crazy."
Wen Siran looked up and saw two figures sliding down from the top of the hill one after another.
Wen Shanshan's laughter could be heard from not far away.
"Qingzhi, I want to play more!" Wen Shanshan put down the basket full of mushrooms, walked up, slid down from the top, "Hahahahaha, this is so fun."
She climbed up again and then came down.
The two of them went back and forth like this for more than ten times. They finally got tired when their buttocks turned brown and black. They picked up the basket of pine mushrooms and walked back.
Xu Qingzhi loved to play like this when she was a child. There was no washing machine at home before, so her mother would use a washboard and a brush to scrub her dirty pants while scolding her for being naughty.
Xu Qingzhi hadn't played like this for a long time, and it was quite enjoyable today.
"Brother, it was so much fun sliding down from there just now. I haven't had so much fun in a long time." Wen Shanshan excitedly shared with Wen Siran and put the bamboo basket in front of him: "Look, Qingzhi and I also picked a lot of pine mushrooms. Qingzhi asked us to go to her house for dinner tonight."
The happiest thing, of course, is being able to have a free meal in the evening.
Wen Siran subconsciously placed his hands on his legs, which were covered with a thin blanket, and said calmly, "You go ahead. Brother Xiao and I will eat at home."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at Wen Siran, then looked up at the person behind Wen Siran and invited him, "Let's go together, and bring your new friend along."
Jiang Xiao met her eyes and introduced himself naturally: "Hello, my name is Jiang Xiao, Jiang means river water, Xiao means brave and good at fighting, and I am a doctor."
"Hello, I'm Xu Qingzhi, just call me Qingzhi." Xu Qingzhi looked at him a little longer because of the word 'doctor', "Come to my house for dinner tonight."
"Sure, I heard from Shanshan that Auntie's cooking skills are very good." Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement.
Naturally, Wen Siran couldn't refuse anymore.
Xu Qingzhi smiled politely and said to Wen Shanshan beside him: "Shanshan, let's go for a ride."
Wen Shanshan originally felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle, but she immediately responded happily: "Okay, Qingzhi, hurry up, I can't wait."
Xu Qingzhi: "Then go home and change your clothes first, I'll wait for you in the yard."
"Okay, I'll be there quickly, wait for me." Wen Shanshan ran back as fast as a butterfly, forgetting even her brother and Jiang Xiao.
There were only three people left in the vegetable garden. Xu Qingzhi looked at Wen Siran and said, "Did you help me deal with the online matter? Thank you."
Wen Siran was a little surprised, but after a quick guess, he thought that maybe his sister heard it by accident and told Qingzhi.
There is nothing to hide about this matter.
He responded, "There's nothing wrong with the vegetables you grow. I just helped out."
"But thank you anyway." Xu Qingzhi glanced at the man, lowered his head, bent down to pick up the blanket that had fallen off at some point, and covered the man's legs with it.
Wen Siran subconsciously stiffened, stretched out his hand, and said hurriedly: "Qingzhi, I can do it myself."
Xu Qingzhi's hand had already touched his wrist, and held it for a few seconds, then gently placed his hand on the blanket: "It's okay, you are Shanshan's brother, I will just pick up the blanket."
Xu Qingzhi didn't care how lame this excuse was, as long as he achieved his goal.
Xu Qingzhi walked ahead and left a step ahead.
Jiang Xiao's eyes were slightly stunned, and his tone was somewhat teasing: "Si Ran, she picked up a blanket, so she picked it up. Why did she touch your hand? You are being a hooligan!"
"Brother Xiao, Qingzhi is not that kind of person." Wen Siran was amused by Jiang Xiao.
If he hadn't seen any hint of sexual desire on Xu Qingzhi's face, he might have really misunderstood this action and thought that Qingzhi was trying to test him.
But the other person's eyes were so pure, and it clearly said: I'm sorry, I just picked up a blanket, I don't mean anything to you.
Wen Siran would not be so self-indulgent.
He reminded: "Aren't you going to tell Qingzhi about the acquisition of Yangmei?"
"Yes, I'll go and talk to him." Jiang Xiao pushed Wensran over.
Xu Qingzhi got on the tricycle without changing his clothes. The tricycle had enough space, so Wen Shanshan came out of her house and sat next to Xu Qingzhi.
The two were getting ready to set off.
Jiang Xiao hurried over and said, "Qingzhi, I want to talk to you about purchasing Yangmei."
"My father planted the bayberries. You can talk to my parents. I'm going for a ride with Shanshan." Xu Qingzhi started to reverse the tricycle.
Jiang Xiao: “Ah?”
Xu Qingzhi didn't hear it because her ears were surrounded by the prompt sound from the tricycle's voice system.
——Reversing, please be careful!
——Back up, please pay attention! ——Back up, please pay attention!
After reversing, Xu Qingzhi turned a corner and set off on the tricycle.
Wen Shanshan didn't look back, but waved vigorously and shouted, "Brother, Qingzhi and I are going out to play, and we will be back later."
“Hahahahaha…this is so fun.”
All that was left in the wind was Wen Shanshan's laughter.
Wen Siran smiled helplessly.
Jiang Xiao stood there, his hair disheveled in the wind, and turned back to complain to Wen Siran: "This boss is too unreliable. He doesn't sell vegetables properly, and just plays around all day."
"That's good, as long as they have fun." Wen Siran watched the tricycle completely disappear from his sight.
Xu Qingzhi took Wen Shanshan on a long walk around Taoshui Village.
Passing by an empty road, with golden rice fields on both sides and a reservoir that looked like a lake in the distance, Wen Shanshan suddenly grabbed the handle beside her, stood up, and shouted loudly: "I hope that all the people I love are healthy, safe, and happy!"
After she finished shouting, she sat down and said, "Qingzhi, others won't think I'm crazy, right?"
"No, it's very cute, but you have to be careful and hold on tight." Xu Qingzhi turned the tricycle and continued driving forward.
Wen Shanshan grabbed the iron handle of the seat with one hand, raised the other hand upward, and faced the sky with her whole face. "It feels so comfortable."
Xu Qingzhi: "It would be more comfortable if I rode a bicycle. This tricycle is a bit noisy."
"Then let's ride a bike next time. My brother taught me how to ride a bike when I was a kid."
"Okay, then we'll ride bikes together."
