Chapter 304: What a waste of money

The fragrant hot pot was still bubbling, and the surging hot steam illuminated the not-so-good-looking faces of both of them.

Silence is the...hot pot of tonight.

"Three cowboys, Xixi, are here! Come quickly, we were so hungry that we didn't wait for you. Sister Cui, please pass us two pairs of chopsticks." It was Zhang Wenbi who greeted them first before arranging for them to sit down.

The three cowboys also realized that they had arrived too late, so they sat down and apologized to everyone.

"We arrived too late. Don't be polite, everyone. Come on, eat! Mom, stop busying yourself and sit down to eat." The third cowboy pulled Lu Yunqian to sit down and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.

Lu Yunqian took the chopsticks woodenly, her red and swollen face being ignored by everyone.

"Eat, eat quickly. Didn't you say you were very hungry and wanted to eat something good? Eat quickly..." The three cowboys put a lot of dishes into her bowl as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't notice the other person's expression at all.

Lu Yunqian ate mechanically without saying a word.

Everyone returned to their normal lively state, eating and drinking.

However, Lu Yunchen looked at the two of them deeply, and after the meal was over, he called the three cowboys, "Brother-in-law, wait a minute!"

He handed the person over to the other side for a talk.

This conversation lasted for a long time. Huang Xinran helped everyone clean up the table. After everything was put away, the conversation was still going on.

Seeing that both children were very sleepy, she simply took them back home.

I used to think that living in a family compound was not bad, after all, it was economical and convenient.

But as the current situation develops, the family population is increasing, and this small house in the family courtyard can no longer accommodate so many people.

Thinking that he would have to add another one, Huang Xinran also had some ideas about this cramped house.

Originally, Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi were squeezed into one bed, but later, they both separated tacitly, one slept on the sofa at home and the other slept in the room, so Huang Xinran didn't have to worry about it.

Now that Huang Qin had arrived, Huang Xinran arranged for her to squeeze in with the two children.

After Lu Yunchen came back, she discussed with him whether to move out of the family compound or to dismantle and rebuild the house.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunchen, who was worried, rejected her proposal and said, "Wait a little longer!"

"Ah? Still waiting?"

Huang was surprised. After Huang Qin came, the house was so small that it became even more crowded. Why wait? How long do we have to wait? There are so many of them. If they all go home to eat, there won't be enough space.

"Yes, wait a few days."

Lu Yunchen didn't say much, took the towel and went to the bathhouse.

This made Huang Xinran confused.

Was she in a bad mood because she got mad at the Three Cowboys? Or was she in a bad mood because of something she didn't know about?

He went to bed with a lot of questions in his mind. But the next day, Huang Xinran still planned to go to the city to find workers to renovate the house.

When she went out, she happened to run into Aunt Cui, who was now busy working in a breakfast shop and earning no less than those who were paid. For this reason, she stood up straighter in front of her husband.

Seeing Huang Xinran said she was going to the city, she couldn't help but ask her why she was going to the city, wondering if she should go with her. It had been a long time since she had been to the city. She had to see what the situation would be like this year as she was about to stock up on vegetables.

"I was thinking of going to the city and finding someone to clean up my house. As you know, my eldest brother's little daughter has been here recently, and the house has become increasingly cramped and uninhabitable."

"Oh, so... Oh, that's not right! Isn't it a waste of money to build a house now? This is too... that."

"Which one is that?"

Huang Xinran was very surprised. Lu Yunchen had this attitude before, and now Aunt Cui also had the same attitude.

"That's such a waste... huh? You don't know that, do you? Yes, that's for sure!" Aunt Cui clapped her hands happily and laughed.

"What should I know?"

Huang Xinran became more and more confused.

"Well, it's a good thing anyway. Don't bother with it for now. Go ask your husband Lu later. Wait for him to tell you the good news!"

Aunt Cui's secretive smile really confused Huang Xinran.

She asked herself to ask Lu Yunchen, but Lu Yunchen had already gone out. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have to wait until night.

With a lot of questions in his mind, Huang Xinran didn't go into the city, so he simply went to his own small vegetable garden.

She hadn't been to her own vegetable garden for a long time. The reason was, firstly, that she was too busy, and secondly, after the previous commotion, she was a little afraid that there would be something unusual again, which would be bad if someone noticed it.

Unexpectedly, although she didn't come, the vegetables in her family's two acres of land were growing lushly, and it looked like they could at least make a few large jars of pickled cabbage.

She started to thin out the large ones, and of course, the spiritual power in her hands also flowed into the field where she worked. After she repeatedly used her spiritual power for the red date forest, her control over the spiritual power reached its peak. The output was constant each time and would not cause any abnormalities.

So they thinned out the seedlings one field at a time, and when they looked back, they saw that the vegetables in the field were growing better and better. Not only were they growing more lush than before the thinning, but it seemed that the height of the seedlings had grown by two centimeters.

She put the pulled vegetables into baskets.

It turned out that the basket was too small, so I just pulled the bike over and tied it directly to the rear rack. There were too many, so I tied a big bag to the front crossbar, and then I went back with the basket.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish all the vegetables if she carried them in such a large bag and took them directly back home. After thinking about it, she decided to take the vegetables to a small appliance store.

Everyone was surprised to see her coming at this time, but Huang Xinran didn't think too much about it: "I brought some vegetables that I grew myself. I'm going to give them away later. Then there's no need to deal with them. What, you want some vegetables? Okay, take one each."

Several shop assistants laughed.

Although the vegetable was not too big, and looked like it weighed only one or two kilograms, for them, it would only be enough for a bowl of vegetable after being cooked, so they all refused.

Huang Xinran didn't force it. He picked up the phone and called each one.

The clue was given to Liang Wei, followed by Sun Yat-sen, then An Lan and the two leaders, and finally Jiang Tingting.

In fact, Huang Xinran didn't want to call Jiang Tingting at first, but after thinking about it, he decided that as a "researcher" with a monthly salary of up to 1,000 yuan, giving her a vegetable would be a way of thanking her for her involvement. Besides, a vegetable was not worth much.

After receiving the call, everyone said yes.

Not long after, Sun Ya came over first and smiled at Huang Xinran. Finally, she took three of them like a traitor and wrapped them up mysteriously before leaving happily. When she left, she didn't forget to give Huang Xinran a big bag of snacks.

After she left, two people were sent by the leaders.

Huang Xinran didn't want to embarrass the two people by only giving them one tree, so he gave each of them five trees.

Others either got two or one large one. Liang Wei was the last to arrive, or rather, he didn't even have time to arrive, so he just asked An Lan to pick one up for him.

Huang Xinran gave them one big tree and three small ones. They could divide them up as they pleased.

I obviously brought a lot, but after the final cut, there really isn't much left.

She left the rest in the store for the employees to take.

When she walked out of the store, she saw that the two people sent by the leaders were still waiting for her across the street.
