Wake up and don’t be corrupted by sweet words and sugar-coated bullets!
Xu Xiaodi wanted to find fault, but he didn't seem to know what to find now. He turned his head to look at a few bags of things not far away, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "What kind of specialty did he bring? It can't be potatoes or sweet potatoes or something like that? I don't want to eat those things!"
"If you don't want to eat, get out! How dare you despise food!" The old man glared at him. "There was no food to eat during the war, and now you think you're noble just because you eat a few meals of noodles?"
"No, no," Xu Xiaodi quickly admitted his mistake. How could he forget that his parents came from that era, where they were very frugal and hated wasting food? "I just... I'm just not satisfied with that kid Zhang Hechen. Why did he marry my sister?"
That's true. The old man also feels that no one is worthy of his granddaughter.
Xu Danhua glanced at Xu Xiaodi calmly and said, "We don't have potatoes, but we have dried sweet potatoes. They grow them themselves, and they're quite sweet. We also have cured pork elbows, bacon, dried fish, and other things. They're all specialties from Hu Province. Let him cook tonight and let me taste his cooking skills."
“…”
The old man glanced at his granddaughter. He could test the cooking, but he wasn't happy that his granddaughter was so happy. He felt that his granddaughter was particularly trusting of that boy. This was too much, which was not a good thing. It showed that the boy was very skillful in sweet talk!
No, he has to go out and test the boy. If the boy is unreliable, he will let his granddaughter throw him away immediately.
At this moment, in the distance, Zhang Hechen was checking the vegetable plot!
"Grandma, you've overwatered these vegetables. They've been soaked in water, and some of their roots have rotted. That's why they died. Although pakchoy likes moisture, it can't tolerate waterlogging. Long-term soaking in water will cause the roots to rot and die. Look, Grandma, you've overwatered them. There's some waterlogging here. Let's drain the water out first and stop watering for the next two days."
The old lady was puzzled: "Is this okay?"
"Let's try it first. In fact, it's better to transplant these to the land over there. This land has been watered too much." Zhang Hechen said.
The old lady snorted and said, "It's all that damn old man's fault. He went out to discuss vegetable planting with those old men, and when he came back he said that our vegetables need to be watered more to grow well. Now look what happened, the vegetables are all dead!"
Zhang Hechen smiled and said, "It's okay. Do you want to keep the land over there, grandma? If not, I'll clean it up for you and we can move the vegetables over there. As for this side, we can move the water celery over here."
"Okay, okay, then let's start planting!" The old lady became excited when talking about farming.
Retirement days are so free, I just grow some vegetables when I have nothing to do, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment!
It was a shame that with so many people in their compound, only a few knew how to grow vegetables. On the other hand, there were a lot of people who knew how to grow vegetables in the other compound! She had even sneaked over to that other compound to learn how to grow vegetables.
It’s so infuriating. Why can’t like-minded friends get together?
So in the backyard, the two of them began to hoe the ground, preparing to plant vegetables.
The others were shocked when they saw this scene. They were just supposed to watch, so why did they resort to violence?
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll do it. It's such a small place, I'll definitely clean it up for you before making dinner!"
The old lady smiled and liked Zhang Hechen more and more: "Slow down, grandma will pour you some water. Do you want to eat mulberries? Grandma will wash them for you!"
