Chapter 166 Returning to the Family Courtyard (2/2)



I didn't expect that he took care of the vegetable garden so well.

He Yi waved his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you are being too polite."

After saying that, he sighed again: "Captain, you are finally here. You don't know how many vegetables have rotted in your vegetable garden in the past two months."

"Cucumbers and beans come one after another. If they are not picked within a few days, they will become old. Water spinach has grown to half a meter tall."

"Thanks to Sister Hu."

"Thanks to me?" Hu Meili happened to hear this when she came over.

Jiang Si raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Hu Meili, or to be more precise, on her slightly bulging belly.

After reacting, he immediately went up to her and said, "Sister-in-law, please come in."

Hu Meili patted her hands and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. I miss you so much."

Jiang Si smiled and nodded, "Me too."

After saying that, he took Hu Meili's hand and introduced her to them.

Hu Meili was a carefree person. Considering her uncle's age, it was inappropriate to call him uncle, so she followed Jiang Si and called him that.

"Uncle San, my name is Hu Meili, and I live next door to Captain Huo's house."

Uncle San smiled and said, "You, you, I heard my sister mentioned you. It seems that there is another one called Mingjuan, right?"

"Yes, yes, Mingjuan and her husband will be here soon."

Uncle San nodded and said with gratitude: "When Si Si first came to the family compound, she was unfamiliar with the place. It was thanks to you that she was taken care of."

"Oh, old man, please don't say that. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

After saying that, Hu Meili touched her face and said to Jiang Si, "Look, is my face red?"

It’s red.

But it might be exposed to the sun.

Jiang Si smiled and led them into the house. "It's hot outside, come in and talk."

The house was spotless and it looked like someone had just cleaned it.

Huo Tingzhou did not interrupt their conversation. He carried the luggage and silently sent them to the room.

"You all sit by yourselves."

Jiang Si originally wanted to pour some water for everyone, but when she entered the kitchen, she remembered that all the stoves in the house were off.

Looking up, Jiang Si saw a row of things on the square table in the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, did you do all this?"

Jiang Si picked up the salt water bottle on the table and took a look. It contained tomato sauce or something.

Hu Meili nodded. "This is how I do it in my hometown. In the summer, we make sauce with the tomatoes that we can't finish eating."

"I felt bad for the tomatoes in your garden rotting, so I made some for you."

"There's no salt in it, so you can adjust the flavor yourself when you eat it. It's especially delicious when mixed with noodles or stir-fried vegetables."

"By the way, I also pickled some sour beans and pickled cucumbers for you to whet your appetite."

Speaking of appetizers, Hu Meili swallowed unconsciously.

Next second.

Oh no, oh no, didn’t she want to roll in chili peppers some time ago?

Why do I want to eat something sour again?

Could it be another kid?

Hu Meili couldn't help thinking about this until she heard Jiang Si saying thank you, and then she came to her senses.

"With our relationship, if you say thank you again, I'll be angry." Hu Meili pretended to be unhappy.

Knowing that they had just arrived and had a lot of things to pack, Hu Meili didn't stay long.

After chatting briefly for a few minutes, she said, "I'll be leaving first. You guys can go over there when you're done packing."

After saying that, he glanced at He Yi and said, "Xiao Da will also come over at noon. I left two movie tickets for the auditorium for you. After the movie this afternoon, remember to send him back."

He Yi almost bowed to her, "Got it, thank you sister-in-law."

Hu Meili smiled, turned around and greeted her third uncle, then stood up and said goodbye.
