Chapter 83 Planting Garlic Sprouts

Chen Xiuli ran home crying as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

Chen Laosi’s wife felt sorry for her daughter’s injustice and comforted her: “You gave him a sweater, it was Lu Mingfeng who didn’t know what was good for him, don’t bother with him anymore.”

Chen Xiuli’s sister Chen Xiujuan saw her sister crying so sadly and wanted to go to Lu Mingfeng to seek justice for her sister, but was stopped by Chen Laosi’s wife.

“Lu Mingfeng has a bad temper, don’t provoke him.”

Chen Xiujuan refused and dragged Chen Xiuli to Lu Mingfeng to settle the score.

Lu Mingfeng frowned when he saw Chen Xiuli coming again.

Chen Xiujuan held the sweater and said loudly: "Mr. Lu, don't be ignorant. You know how long I have wanted a sweater. My sister finally saved up enough and knitted one for you, but you still scolded my sister.

My sister just said the wrong thing last year because she didn't know the truth, but you keep holding on to it. When will you ever stop?"

The villagers who were working nearby all looked over here.

Chen Zhaodi came over and said, "Xiujuan, Shen Zhiqing has already knitted a sweater for Lu Mingfeng, and he really doesn't like Sister Xiuli's sweater that is knitted with so many different kinds of yarn."

Chen Xiujuan looked at Chen Xiuli and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me?"

But she couldn't blame her sister at this time, so she retorted, "Even if he has a sweater, it was given to him by my sister, and he can't ruin it." Chen Zhaodi sneered, "It's not

my daughter-in-law's sweater . Isn't it more thoughtful than Sister Xiuli's? Also, don't always come to see Lu Mingfeng. He is already married. If you, a girl, always stay around him, it will affect the relationship between the couple."

Chen Xiuli said angrily: "Zhaodi, I am your cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? I am an innocent person, how can I let you frame me."

Chen Zhaodi laughed and said: "Didn't you also frame Lu Mingfeng? Why are you pretending to be a good person here? "

Chen Xiujuan was very angry: "Zhao Di, do you still want my sister to give you wool in the future?"

Chen Zhaodi spat: "Every time I asked you for wool, I had to beg you three times and four times, and I had to pick up firewood and fetch water for your family before you gave me a foot of wool.

You gave wool to the villagers, who asked for it for free? It's all to help your family do something. Even so, Sister Xiuli was so scared that she didn't dare to go back to the village, but now she comes back diligently.

Shen Zhiqing gave I brought elastic rubber bands, which are much more useful than your wool for tying hair."

Chen Xiujuan pointed at Chen Zhaodi angrily: "No wonder, it turns out that you are trying to curry favor with someone else."

Chen Zhaodi snorted: "I don't need to curry favor with Shen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing is much more generous than your family. I just helped Shen Zhiqing a little, and she gave me 5 rubber bands."

Shen Jiale probably didn't expect that he would be protected by Chen Zhaodi for a rubber band worth two yuan.

Chen Zhaodi continued, "Don't think I don't know what Sister Xiuli is up to. She wanted to find a partner in the city, but he didn't like her, and she didn't like the men in the village either. She didn't find a partner until she was 21.

Now that she sees Lu Mingfeng has built a tiled house and bought a bicycle, she wants to take advantage of him.

Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? How can you compare to the educated youth Shen?"

"I'll tear your mouth apart if you keep talking nonsense." Chen Xiujuan went up to Chen Zhaodi and was about to attack her, but was pulled aside by Lu Mingfeng.

Here

Lu Mingfeng didn't want to listen to their quarrel and wanted to go back to eat, but Chen Xiujuan refused to give in and insisted that Lu Mingfeng apologize to her sister.

Lu Mingfeng said impatiently, "Are you done yet?"

Chen Xiujuan said angrily, "Why didn't you have this attitude when you were pursuing my sister before? You went to work for our family every day. I think you didn't succeed in pursuing my sister, and you are unwilling to give up, so you deliberately embarrass my sister."

If his wife heard this, it would be disastrous.

Lu Mingfeng immediately got angry, grabbed Chen Xiujuan's neck and lifted her up, saying viciously, "Didn't your sister say that I beat women? It seems that I will confirm this bad reputation today, so that your sister will not feel that she has been wronged and ask for my forgiveness."

Chen Xiujuan grabbed Lu Mingfeng's hand and struggled desperately.

Chen Xiuli came over and pulled Lu Mingfeng's arm, but Lu Mingfeng shook her off.

"Don't touch me, I don't want to have anything to do with you."

Chen Xiuli cried and begged, "Please let Xiujuan go, I won't come to you again."

Lu Mingfeng said sternly, "Remember what you said!"

He turned to the people working in the fields and said, "I don't want any bad words to reach my wife's ears, otherwise..."

The meaning of his words was self-evident, and the people who were watching the excitement turned their heads away.

Lu Mingfeng let go of his hand, Chen Xiujuan fell to the ground, and the two sisters left in a savage manner.

Chen Zhaodi looked at this scene and opened her mouth wide.

Lu Mingfeng was still the same Lu Mingfeng, and he had never changed, except that he was an obedient little sheep in front of Shen Zhiqing.

...

Shen Jiale planted garlic cloves in a wooden basin.

When Lu Mingfeng saw it, he said, "Wife, don't we plant garlic in the vegetable garden behind us?"

Shen Jiale put the wooden basin into a cardboard box, covered it, and pressed a wooden board on it.

Lu Mingfeng looked at his wife's strange behavior, and Shen Jiale said that he would give him a surprise in a while.

Two weeks later, Shen Jiale opened the cardboard box, revealing the tender yellow garlic in the wooden basin.

Lu Mingfeng had never seen garlic sprouts before, so he picked one and tasted it: "This is grown from garlic. Why does it smell like leek?"

Shen Jiale said: "This is garlic sprouts. I'll cook it for you later."

Shen Jiale made scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts. Lu Mingfeng ate it and praised it: "Wife, how did you come up with this method? I've never heard of it. Aren't garlic sprouts grown from garlic sprouts? How did they turn yellow?"

"Because they grow in an environment without sunlight and do not undergo photosynthesis, they do not produce chlorophyll."

"Garlic sprouts are more tender than garlic sprouts and have the fragrance of leek. They go well with rice. Let's plant more. If we can't finish them, I'll sell them on the black market."

"That's what I was thinking. In winter, we only have cabbage, radish, and potatoes. The vegetable varieties are too monotonous."

"It's just that vegetables can only be planted in spring. Now that it's cold, they won't grow well."

"We can build a greenhouse so we won't be short of fresh vegetables all winter long."

"Then I'll go find Brother Jing and buy some plastic sheets."

"I'll go. I'm going to town to mail a letter tomorrow. You go find someone to make wooden boxes. They're one square meter in size. Our yard is big. We can build a 75-square-meter shed on each side. Make 100 boxes first, and add more if they're not enough."

The next day, Shen Jiale rode his bicycle to town and mailed the letter. When he came back, there were two more sacks on the back seat of the bicycle.

There were plastic sheets and garlic from the space, as well as various vegetable seeds.

The boxes were too eye-catching when they were brought back, so Lu Mingfeng took back the unassembled wooden boards and nailed them on himself. A road

was left in the middle of the yard, and wood was found on both sides to build a shed, covered with plastic sheets.

After loosening the soil in the shed, Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng began to plant garlic.

After the garlic was planted, a wooden box was placed on every square meter.

Shen Jiale also left a small plot of land to plant other vegetables, but the quantity was not large.
