Chapter 238 Buying Food and Growing Vegetables



In the evening, Zheng Tiansen had a manly conversation with his son, and Congcong went to sleep alone.

Then, Zheng Tiansen spent a happy night.

In the morning, just as he went to work, Xiao Li came to the yard with tools.

Linglong repeatedly said that she could do it, so Xiao Li helped her to cultivate the area of the vegetable plot.

Zhao Aihong also came out to watch them cultivating the vegetable field.

After Linglong's land was reclaimed, Zhao Aihong borrowed the tools from them.

Xiao Li wanted to help, but Zhao Aihong said she wanted to move around, so Xiao Li couldn't take her place.

Zhao Aihong has been with the army for many years and has never worked in the fields. After working for a while, she would be exhausted and sweating all over.

There was only a little left, and Xiao Li helped to finish it all.

As soon as the land on both sides was reclaimed, Zhao Aihong was full of anticipation.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to go out today and pack some things to bring back. Is there anything you need to bring?"

"No, are you coming tonight?"

"Come here, I just happened to bring some vegetable seeds with me."

"Okay, then let's plant some vegetables together tomorrow."

"good."

After letting Xiao Li rest at home and drink some water, Linglong made plans with him to go into the city in the afternoon.

After the vegetable patch was cultivated, Linglong and Zhao Aihong went to the grocery store again and bought all the necessary seasonings.

In addition to seasonings, Linglong also bought some meat.

She prepared a richer lunch, and as a token of gratitude for Zhao Aihong's help over the past two days, she sent her a dish.

When Zhao Aihong saw that they brought some meat dishes, she felt a little embarrassed to accept them.

"Sister-in-law, this is nothing. You've helped me so much these past two days. I only know how to cook a few dishes. Please try my cooking skills."

"Okay, let me try it."

The neighbors on the other side saw that Linglong and Zhao Aihong were always together these days, and Linglong even delivered vegetables to them. They had a bad impression of Linglong and thought that Linglong was a rather servile "sycophant" who was trying to curry favor with Zhao Aihong's family, which was at the level of a full division commander, while the men in their family were only at the level of a deputy division commander.

In fact, when Linglong asked where to buy vegetables, she had considered this place. It was just that Zhao Aihong was in the yard at that time. When she asked, Zhao Aihong was very enthusiastic. The two of them got along well in the past two days, so this caused misunderstandings among the neighbors on the other side.

Zheng Tiansen was particularly satisfied with the lunch.

Zhao Aihong, after tasting the dishes Linglong prepared, also felt that her cooking skills were really good.

After finishing her meal and returning the plate to Linglong, Zhao Aihong sighed, "Linglong, I didn't realize you're such a good cook at your young age."

"Sister-in-law, my previous job was cooking in the army cafeteria."

"Oh, I didn't realize you're such a professional." Zhao Aihong exclaimed.

“I wouldn’t call it a professional, I just love cooking and thinking about it.”

"Then sister-in-law will have someone to ask for advice in the future."

"I'm not worthy of that. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask."

"Then I'll remember that."

At this time, someone on the other side came out with a basin to hang clothes in the yard.

Zhao Aihong greeted her from a distance.

Wang Juan nodded at Zhao Aihong. "Sister-in-law."

Seeing that she ignored Linglong, Zhao Aihong introduced her enthusiastically.

"This is Linglong, Deputy Commander Zheng's new lover. Linglong, this is Wang Juan, she's older than you."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Linglong called enthusiastically.

Wang Juan just nodded at her without saying anything and continued to put on clothes.

After putting on two pieces of clothes, he carried the basin out of the house.

Zhao Aihong quickly explained. "Wang Juan is just a sweetheart with a soft heart. You'll understand after spending some time with her. She's not a bad person, but she's a little sensitive and overthinks things. Just be a little careful when you talk to her."

Linglong nodded to show that she accepted the lesson.

Zheng Tiansen went to work, and Xiao Li also drove Linglong and Congcong to the district.

When he got outside the compound, Xiao Li was very nervous.

Only after Linglong greeted the guard at the gate and explained the situation was their car allowed in.

This was Xiao Li's first time entering a place like the compound.

It was also the first time he knew about his leader's family background.

Zheng Tiansen is well-informed and has extensive connections. His superiors know his family background, but that doesn't mean that ordinary soldiers like Xiao Li know it.

Linglong needed to pack her things, which would take quite some time. Of course, she wouldn't let Xiao Li sit in the car and wait, so she let him come into the house and sit down.

Aunt Wei poured some water for Xiao Li.

But after Xiao Li entered the house, he sat upright and didn't even dare to move.

While Linglong was packing up, Zeng Yu took Congcong out to play.

By the way, I also asked my grandson about the situation at my son's place.

Congcong can now speak clearly and can answer many questions.

Linglong didn't take away all the clothes left in the compound at once, she only packed some that she was currently wearing.

When she came out with the luggage, Xiao Li quickly stood up and went to take it.

"Linglong, I asked your Aunt Wei to pack some things, you can take them with you."

Linglong took a look.

"Mom, we don't have a refrigerator, so food doesn't last long."

"Then buy one quickly."

"I was planning to buy it."

"Then let's go pick it now."

"Well, alright then."

They got in the car driven by Xiao Li and went to the cargo building.

Although Linglong has decided to buy a refrigerator and a bicycle, she hasn't prepared the tickets yet.

She had only planned to come over today to look at the refrigerator and bicycle styles.

As a result, Zeng Yu realized that she didn't have a ticket, so when she arrived at the shopping mall, she found someone who quickly brought them refrigerator tickets and bicycle coupons.

Linglong is also quick and efficient when picking things.

By the time they came out, everything had been paid for.

Just wait and come over later.

The shopping mall is not responsible for delivery at this time. If you buy a large item, you have to find a way to transport it yourself.

If they were staying in the city, they could rent a car, but the suburbs were a bit far.

Linglong was worried, and Xiao Li gave her some advice.

It is said that they often have cars going back and forth to the area.

When the time comes, just give me a call and ask them to help bring the refrigerator and the bicycle over, and Linglong won’t have to worry anymore.

It’s already late by the time I finish buying these.

Knowing that she wanted to grow vegetables in the yard, Aunt Wei took on the task of collecting vegetable seeds. When Linglong and the others arrived, the vegetable seeds were ready.

After packing up the things they needed to take to the compound, Linglong and the others rushed there.

Linglong didn't have time to cook for her husband, so Zheng Tiansen had his lunch in the cafeteria again.

Fortunately, most of the things that needed to be done have been done.

While it was still light and not too hot, Linglong took some vegetable seeds and started planting vegetables.

Zheng Tiansen also came to help.

Linglong took out some vegetable seeds and gave half to Zhao Aihong.

Seeing that they were busy, Zhao Aihong pulled her husband to start working too.

Both sides were growing vegetables, which aroused the curiosity of Wang Juan and her husband.

Wang Juan didn't come over to talk, but her husband came over to watch and talked to Zheng Tiansen and Zhao Aihong's husband.
