Chapter 154 Vegetable Garden

Aunt He was still waiting outside the door, so Huang Xinran handed the steamed bun in her hand to her and said, "Let's go. Have you eaten yet? Do you want another one?"

"I've already eaten. Don't worry, take your time to finish eating first and then we can go over."

Aunt He smiled cheerfully and chatted with her in no hurry to leave. "Your child is so lucky. After suffering once, you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. That's not all. The most important thing is that the two children are so easy to worry about. They go out to play by themselves and don't make any noise. When I came over just now, I saw them playing skipping rope in the playground. They were having a lot of fun!"

"Aunt He, please stop making fun of me. You don't know that when the two children were young, they were very sick and I stayed by their side to take care of them. It's only now that they are older that I, an old mother, have become less attractive to them and they have all gone out to explore new things."

"Children shouldn't be like this. When they grow up, they will ignore their parents and always want to fly solo..."

As Aunt He spoke, she started talking about herself, her son, and then her grandson.

Her grandson is now in college, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will probably follow in his father's footsteps and join the army to contribute to the defense of the country and the people.

But when the child grows up, he won't be controlled by his father and mother.

"He didn't want to join the army and wanted to do scientific research. What good is scientific research? You don't see him for a year or two. His father was so angry that he scolded him severely and mobilized his mother to talk to him. As a result, he agreed on the surface, but turned around and applied for aerospace engineering. When the acceptance letter arrived, he went to school secretly, and we adults didn't know about it..."

Aunt He wasn't complaining so much as showing off.

Although the child was unwilling to join the army and suffer, he still served his motherland in his own way.

That's enough!

Huang Xinran couldn't help but praise the child a few words. In the time it took to talk, she finished eating two steamed buns, and the two of them slowly went to the vegetable garden.

The vegetable field is neither far nor near, it is located at the bottom of the hill behind the family's yard, in a wide open area under the bushes. It is divided into tofu blocks of varying shapes. These tofu blocks are planted with more or less vegetables.

Aunt He pointed at one of the tofu blocks and said, "This is your family's land. It was left unused for a long time. Later, I felt it was a pity to leave it there, so I planted some lettuce and Chinese cabbage. They are almost ready to eat. If you don't mind, you can pick some to take home. Anyway, my family doesn't lack vegetables for the time being."

"It would be a shame to harvest such beautiful vegetables now."

Huang Xinran thought for a moment and said, "Why not just let them continue to grow, and I can plant some vegetable seeds in the empty space."

"It's okay, it's okay, this vegetable is more tender now. Don't be shy, come, I'll help you pull it out."

The lettuces in the field only have leaves, and there are almost no roots; the Chinese cabbage only has leaves, and has not even started to wrap. If you harvest them at this time, they can only be regarded as seedlings.

But Aunt He was very skillful and had already pulled out a long section while she was talking to her.

Huang Xinran hurriedly stopped her and said that they might as well buy all the vegetables from the field.

"What are you buying? I just spent some seeds. I saved these seeds myself, so I didn't spend any money on them. If you want them, take them all. It's free!"

"That won't work!"

Huang Xinran insisted: "I will never take a single needle or thread from the masses. Aunt He, you can't let me break the rules!"

“Puff!”

Aunt He laughed out loud: "Good boy, Xiao Huang, come on, come on! I won't be a bad person and let you break the rules. If you have other vegetable seeds, give me a bag and this matter will be over! How do you do it?"

"OK!"

Aunt He is easy to talk to, and Huang Xinran is also very happy.

She had bought a lot of vegetable seeds when she went to the city before, and now she took them out and picked a bag of each type and gave them to Aunt He. Aunt He refused to take any, and the two of them pushed each other back and forth. Finally, she picked and chose and took two bags of vegetable seeds that she didn't have.

Aunt He was very satisfied, and her eyes looked at Huang Xinran with a little more joy: "You are really, too real, kid. All right! I still have a lot of beans at home, I'll give them to you later. They are good for stewing soup or making green bean paste and red bean buns."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank Aunt He first."

Huang Xinran also readily agreed.

Give and take, sharing what you have, is the way military wives get along with each other.

Since the vegetables in this field now belong to her, Huang Xinran was very happy. She squatted down to remove the weeds and planted some mustard, turnip and pickled mustard seeds.

After I finish all this, it’s almost time to make lunch. Aunt He has also finished her meal.

"Let's go, let's go home first."

Aunt He put the vegetables she had picked into a bamboo basket and took them home. When they got back to the family compound, she forced half of them to be given to Huang Xinran.

Huang Xinran couldn't refuse and had to take it back.

The dishes cooked last night were almost finished. Looking at the dishes at home, she quickly washed the rice and put it in a pot to steam a pot of rice. At the same time, she was processing the ingredients, planning to use the lettuce in her hand to make two dishes, one cold salad lettuce shreds and the other stir-fried lettuce leaves.

Of course, she did not forget to use her spiritual power to comb the lettuce.

The lettuce stems, which were originally less than the length of a palm, suddenly grew to about one meter high, and one was enough to make two dishes.

On the other hand, I fried some hairtail slices and added some pickled green onions from last night to make a complete set of four dishes.

Lu Yunchen didn't come back at noon and no one knew where he went.

When Huang Xinran saw that the food was ready but the two children had not returned yet, he went out of the house and shouted. Soon, Yaya and Maomao came back, sweating all over.

"Where have you gone mad? Wash your hands and eat."

“Here we come!”

Yaya and Maomao happily washed their hands and ate. Yaya picked up a piece of food for Huang Xinran with chopsticks and said, "Mom, you've worked hard to cook. You eat first!"

"You little brat, you only know how to tease people!"

"No, cooking is hard work for mom."

Yaya was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurried to comfort her mother, "Mom, today Chou Dabao and Chou Erbao both apologized to my brother and me. They wanted to play with us, but my brother and I refused. They had no one to play with them the whole morning..."

"Who are the stinky first and second stinky treasures?"

"Mom is so stupid! It was the stinky Dabao and stinky Erbao who came to my house last night to grab some meat!"

Yaya wrinkled her cute little nose: "Everyone calls them that, they always smell bad. Not only do they come to my house to eat meat, they also take away the meat of other children in the yard. No one likes them!"

Oh, it's them.

So, after Lu Yunchen sent the two naughty kids back yesterday, he really solved the problem?

Otherwise, given the way they cursed at each other last night, she didn't believe that they would suddenly realize their mistake and admit it to Yaya and Maomao.

Most likely, Lu Yunchen's plan worked.
