After lunch, Meng Qidi was pulled to the backyard by the little maid, who pointed at the jujube tree above her head.
"Aunt, let me tell you a secret. This jujube tree is bearing dates again."
Meng Qidi looked up and was immediately shocked. The dates she had just picked had grown bigger this time...
Although it's not red, it's big, so it will probably turn red in a few days...
Looking at the jujube tree, Meng Qidi was filled with worry. What should she do?
Who could have thought that the Jade Spring Water would have such an effect that after growing a round, it could still continue to grow. Who knows if it will continue to grow next time after being picked this time? It seems that the Jade Spring Water must be diluted next time, otherwise it will be too scary.
The little girl tugged at it gently, "My uncle saw it too. He said it was probably watered with mountain spring water, so it grew fast."
Spring water?
Meng Qidi looked around and saw a clear spring flowing down near the foot of the mountain. It circled around the edge of the vegetable field and flowed into the stream next to it.
Looking down at my feet, it seems that the vegetables and grass nearby are more lush.
Meng Qidi's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder Ling Xiao thought it was a problem with the spring water. It was probably that when the Jade Spring water was obtained before, the jujube tree did not completely absorb it. There was some spring water nearby just now, which directly diluted the Jade Spring water.
However, this saved her a lot of trouble.
When preparing to leave with Ling Cheng, Meng Qidi paused, turned her head and looked at the spring water. Suddenly, she had a way to solve the problem of Yuquan water.
"Aunt?" Ling Cheng turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.
"Let's go, our hands are a little dirty, let's go wash our hands."
Meng Qidi hurried over, saying that these problems would be solved later.
When the two went to the gate to wash their hands, the mother and son of the Ling family were not at the gate, and there was no one in the house. They probably went to the village.
The little girl was also considerate. When she saw Meng Qidi fetching water, she excitedly said that there was soap at home, which her uncle brought back from the army.
Seeing the little girl trotting into the house to get the soap, Meng Qidi quickly lifted the cement manhole cover at hand and poured a cup of Yuquan water into it.
She put the cup away and quickly moved the manhole cover back to its original position. She had originally planned to drop a drop of lotion into it.
The jujube tree in the backyard vegetable garden just now gave her a warning. She was afraid that the lotion would work too quickly, so to be on the safe side, she would rather put more Yuquan water in it.
Ling Cheng was very fast and came back in the blink of an eye.
Meng Qidi took the soap, which was the Shanghai medicated soap that was popular these days. She washed her hands and accompanied Ling Cheng to see the bamboo products made by Ling Xiao.
"My uncle said that when he's done, he'll put it under the tree for me to play with." Ling Cheng pointed excitedly at the unfinished part.
Meng Qidi glanced at the Ling family's front door and asked, "Where are the trees?"
"My uncle asked Uncle Jin Ming to find one, and we will plant a big tree in a few days." The little girl was very organized and even pointed out where the tree would be planted.
The big and the small were chatting towards the plants and trees at the door. Ling Xiao and Wang Po came back, and Shen Xing followed them.
The two came back. Meng Qidi glanced at the pond at the door and said goodbye. Refusing Ling Xiao's offer to send her off, Meng Qidi went back directly.
After Meng Qidi left, Ling Xiao returned to the room, glanced at the layout of the room, a smile flashed across his eyes, he gently closed the door, and limped out.
Shen Xing was drinking water from a bowl by the well. When he saw Ling Xiao coming out, he greeted him quickly.
"Captain, I didn't find your well water sweet in the past few days, but it feels especially sweet today."
Ling Xiao glanced at him and jumped down swiftly. "Are you thirsty? Every time we go on a mission, we drink water in the mountains. Doesn't it taste delicious and sweet?"
Although his legs have not healed yet, all other injuries on his body have healed completely, so it is okay for him to jump down like this.
However, I can’t stand jumping like this every day. I guess I’ll have to use crutches soon.
"It seems like... I'm a little stupid." Shen Xing scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
After shaking the water shaker a few times, Ling Xiao also filled a bowl of well water, took a sip, and then was stunned.
No matter how thirsty he was, he knew that the sweet taste of well water was not this. This well water was clearly much better than the well water he had drunk before...
Ling Xiao subconsciously glanced at the suddenly clear pool water at the door, the enlarged jujube tree in the backyard, and the lush grass around it. They all seemed to have been created by Meng Qidi. Could she really be a fairy like Xiao Chengzi said?
When this thought came to his mind, Ling Xiao chuckled. He probably thought too much. What about gods? If Meng Qidi really had that ability, she wouldn't have to rely on marrying to leave the Meng family.
However, he still couldn't let anyone know what was going on with these changes at home, otherwise if they asked, he really wouldn't be able to explain...
"Captain, Brother Xiao?" Shen Xing called out softly when he saw him in a daze.
Ling Xiao came back to his senses, drank the water in one gulp, and put down the bowl without changing his expression. "I told you that you think too much. It's the same as before."
"Hehe." Shen Xing laughed, "By the way, Captain, I will return to the team after you get married, you are here..."
"Then go back to the army without worry. Jin Ming will take care of me if anything inconvenient for me." Ling Xiao said calmly. He probably would never be able to return to the army.
"Then I'll keep the car. It's not convenient for you."
Shen Xing sighed. He was afraid that the next time they met, the captain would not return to the team, but change his job...
Ling Xiao's eyes were stern. "The car is a public property. How can you just leave it here? Drive it back when you return to the team."
Shen Xing was startled by his sudden loud voice and saluted almost subconsciously, "Yes, Captain! I promise to complete the mission."
Realizing his conditioned reflex, Shen Xing quickly put down his hand and talked to Ling Xiao about some important things.
Meng Qidi, who had already left, had no idea that the Yuquan water she had just poured into the well had been drunk by two people.
While it was still early, she went to town and wanted to sell the few cans of malted milk in her space to get some money in hand, in case she couldn't buy anything when she went out...
In a deserted place, he took out two cans of malted milk from the space and put them in a black cloth bag.
After entering the town, she turned into a long and narrow alley and walked aimlessly. It was the first time in her life that Meng Qidi sold something. She had no experience at all and didn't even know where the black market was.
Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard was pulled open, and the sound of a baby crying came out. A woman came out, gently patting the crying child, and glanced at Meng Qidi who was carrying the bag.
"What are you selling?"
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned, and stepped back cautiously, "I won't sell the malted milk. My relatives gave it to me from the city..."
"I'll give you thirty dollars a can, and your malted milk only costs about twenty dollars."
The woman interrupted Meng Qidi impatiently, and the child in her arms started crying louder, "Is it okay?"
Meng Qidi didn't expect the other party to be so direct, "Do you want both?"
The woman nodded, glanced around, and lowered her voice a little, "Follow me."
Meng Qidi was a little wary. Although it was already the end of the chaos, if someone was caught being so careless, he would be considered a profiteer.
The woman seemed to know her concerns and said, "Come in, don't worry, I'm the only one at home. If the child wasn't hungry, I wouldn't buy anything at the door. You're afraid, but I'm afraid too."
Meng Qidi was not embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed, and she followed him into the house carrying her things.
