Chapter 170: Building a Grape Rack
Xu Xinxin was particularly moved when she heard what her parents said.
She even wanted to agree immediately that she would go back with them.
However, in the end, she was still sensible and did not speak, but turned around and said: "I know, Mom and Dad, I'll go clean up your room."
By the time Xu Xinxin ran to the room, tidied up the house, and ran out again, she had calmed down.
Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi were also helping to clean the yard.
The chickens at home are basically free-range, so there will be some chicken droppings in the yard.
Xia Runlin skillfully went to the kitchen, got out some wood ash, and sprinkled it on the chicken manure, turning it from a "clear" state to a "sticky" state. Then he swept it with a broom, and the ground became clean again.
Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi were helping to sweep the floor.
They hadn't been home for a few days, and there were some fallen leaves in the yard. The two of them swept them here and there with a broom. After they finished sweeping, there were still some broken leaves on the ground, so they started sweeping again.
It's obvious that her biological parents rarely do this kind of work.
Xu Xinxin quickly took the broom and said, "Mom and Dad, leave this to me. Can you come with me to pick some vegetables later?"
They are very interested in this.
After cleaning the yard, they carried the bamboo baskets to the constant temperature room next door.
There are not many types of plants in the constant temperature room, but there are more types in the vegetable garden outside. However, Xu Xinxin did not promote the growth of many of them, so many of them did not grow.
Several people went to the constant temperature room and picked some tomatoes and water spinach.
Xu Xinxin also produced some eggplants and beans.
Seeing her accelerating the growth of vegetables, Gu Zhicheng was a little surprised and said, "Xinxin, your wood-related ability is really suitable for accelerating the growth of plants."
There are only so many types of superpowers, but everyone excels in different areas.
Gu Zhicheng’s speed of promoting the growth of plants was relatively fast, which was suitable for combat. However, the vegetables he promoted were not very good and were prone to “exploding”.
But now when we see Xu Xinxin growing vegetables, her growth speed may not be as fast as his, but the vegetables that grow in the end are all big and good.
Gu Zhicheng and Xu Xinxin just stood beside the vegetable field and chatted.
Xu Xinxin told him how she controlled the transmission of her supernatural powers.
Gu Zhicheng told her how he made the plants grow quickly.
Lin Xuezhi was standing nearby, having already washed the freshly picked vegetables. She saw the father and daughter still standing in the vegetable patch, mumbling something to each other.
She simply stood beside the well and shouted, "What are you still standing there for?"
"Hey, Mom, here we come."
Xu Xinxin raised her head and responded loudly, then she and Gu Zhicheng walked towards the well, carrying the heavy eggplants and beans in bamboo baskets.
There are a lot of dishes and they definitely cannot be finished in two days, so Xu Xinxin plans to blanch the beans in water and then dry them in the sun to make them into dried beans in the evening.
When stir-frying dried beans with meat, especially stir-fried bacon, add some garlic and chili immediately, it will be really delicious.
Xia Runlin prepared dinner, and Xu Xinxin helped in the yard by peeling garlic, picking green onions, and then trimming the heads and tails of the beans.
Xu Xinxin was picking beans while chatting with her parents in the yard, laughing from time to time.
The aroma of food and meat from the kitchen slowly drifted over.
Xu Xinxin just sat in the yard, sniffed hard, and said, "It smells so good, Mom and Dad, let me tell you, Xia Runlin's cooking is really delicious, you'll be in for a treat later."
Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi really didn't expect that Xia Runlin could cook.
And from the conversation just now, we can know that his cooking skills are something he has learned recently.
Unexpectedly, Xia Runlin really put in a lot of effort.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Although there were no delicacies from land or sea, they were all home-cooked dishes. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
It's a pity that there is no alcohol here, otherwise a couple of drinks would create a more pleasant atmosphere.
After eating and drinking, there were many mosquitoes outside the house, so everyone went back to bed early.
We put mosquito repellent sachets in the room and covered it with a thin quilt, so there were basically no mosquitoes.
Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi had never lived in such a small house before, but they had been in the wilderness for so long and had lived in even smaller places, so they slept unexpectedly well that night.
Even when they woke up in the morning and looked at this small house, they couldn't help but curse their two sons in their hearts.
Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi stayed here for two days.
Until they left, neither of Xu Xinxin's two brothers came to look for them.
In the end, it was Xia Runlin who saw them off.
In addition to the big villa in Jiangcheng, they also have some smaller houses in other places, some of which their two sons don’t know about. They plan to live there for the time being.
As for the rest, you will need to spend some time to figure it out.
After Xia Runlin settled Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi, he returned to Xu Xinxin's farm. She was cutting bamboo on the top of Yushan.
Xu Xinxin plans to build a grape rack next to the yard, and then grow two grape vines so that she can eat grapes in the summer.
After Xu Xinxin brought the cut bamboo to the front of the house, Xia Runlin helped her build the ordinary rack. Then he said, "Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin have been settled. They live in a house near the city center. I will take you to see them when you have time later."
Originally, Xu Xinxin also wanted to go over to help, but Gu Zhicheng and Lin Xuezhi didn’t know whether their property was still there, so they didn’t let her go to avoid making her sad.
In addition, everyone has been very tired recently, so it is better to rest more at home.
They didn't want Xia Runlin to follow them, but they didn't have a car now, so they had to ask him to help send them off.
Xu Xinxin herself didn't want to go there either. After all, it was her parents' business at the time, and she didn't want to get involved between her parents and her two brothers, so she stayed on her own farm.
She originally wanted to have a good rest, but as she sat in the yard, she always felt that something was missing nearby.
Xu Xinxin walked around the yard twice before she realized what was missing.
There are no grape racks here, but there are still grape vines hanging on the racks.
In the past, Xu's mother would take her to her grandmother's house in the countryside during the summer vacation.
There is a large grape field in the backyard of my hometown, all climbing on the racks. In summer, the racks are full of grapes.
So every summer vacation, Xu Xinxin never lacked grapes to eat. Sometimes, she would even go a whole day without eating and eat a big bowl of grapes.
Later, when Xu's mother saw that she seemed to have gained weight in a few days, she strictly required her to eat only one bunch of grapes a day. Only then did she continue to eat well.
When Xu Xinxin thought of the happy days of picking grapes during the summer vacation before, she wanted to plant some grapes in the yard so that they could pick them together when Xu's mother came back next time.
