Liu Baichuan was completely baffled and extremely frustrated. Why was growing vegetables so difficult?
Looking at Chen Hong's small vegetable garden, the spinach is lush and green, the celery and rapeseed are tender and fresh, and the cilantro growing in the ground has a rich aroma.
The old man looked around, and all the vegetables seemed to be growing well. He stuck a scallion leaf in the ground, picked a handful, and stuffed it into his mouth without washing it, chewing it up with gusto.
"Chen Hong, these scallions are really flavorful! They're a little sweet and not too spicy. Sprinkling some chopped scallions on stir-fries and soups when they're done will definitely enhance the flavor!"
Chen Hong: "Uncle Liu, don't you grow scallions at home? Since you like them, why don't you pick some?"
Oh, and you should also pick some bok choy, spinach, and baby bok choy. These vegetables are at their tenderest right now; throwing a handful into noodles will make them delicious.
I planted too much; my daughter and I can't eat it all. See what you need at home and just pick it to eat.
Upon hearing Chen Hong's words, the old man immediately squatted down and began to pull up the vegetables. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. These vegetables you planted look so tempting."
Go find me a bag, I'll pick some to take home and eat! To be honest, I love vegetables grown by farmers the most—they're fragrant, flavorful, and delicious!
Seeing his smug look on his face, Chen Hong shook her head with amusement, went to the storeroom, found a wicker basket, and handed it to him.
The old man was shrewd; he didn't just pull one seedling at a time, but also knew to thin out the seedlings throughout the entire vegetable garden.
In no time, they had picked a full basket of vegetables. The old man went home excitedly, and Chen Hong tidied up the house before driving back to pick up the children.
From then on, Old Liu often loitered around the entrance of Chen Hong's villa, peering through the wrought iron gate, hoping to see Chen Hong tending the vegetable garden again.
