Chapter 6
The family compound is near Gate No. 3. The main gate in the middle is locked, and there is only a small door on the side that can only accommodate one person. There are sentries on duty. Ordinary soldiers need a leave note to enter and exit, but family members do not need one.
Chen Baozhen was waiting at the gate. She had originally wanted to go with the car to pick up her good sister Qin Yao in person, but her neighbor Bai Qiuling also wanted to pick up a distant cousin. If they followed them, plus the luggage, there might not be enough space in one car, so the two of them waited at the gate of the compound.
Chen Baozhen was standing alone at the sentry post, while Bai Qiuling was surrounded by several sisters-in-law, chattering and making Chen Baozhen seem out of place.
Chen Baozhen was wearing well-cut plain clothes. She was tall, nearly 1.7 meters, with a long face, shoulder-length hair, a high nose and big eyes. She was neither charming nor delicate, but had a particularly elegant appearance, like a lily.
When she didn't speak, she seemed a bit arrogant and mean, as if she was keeping people at a distance.
In fact, Chen Baozhen did have a bad temper, and after getting married, she always quarreled with her husband.
Because she studies musical instruments, she always has the noble and elegant aura of an artist. Now she is a music teacher in a primary school for children of local parents.
Bai Qiuling, who was chatting with a few sisters-in-law not far away, seemed "approachable". There was also a young male officer in white military uniform standing next to her, who chatted with them from time to time.
"Teacher Bai, is your cousin the same as you? A kind and gentle woman."
A sister-in-law named Chen whispered in the young male officer's ear: "If you want to marry a wife, you should marry someone like Teacher Bai. If she's like Teacher Chen over there, it'll be fatal."
The young male officer glanced at Chen Baozhen and was still shocked by her demeanor. She was tall and elegant, outstanding. To marry such a woman would be a blessing from his ancestors. However, life after marriage...
"The car is here, are the people here?"
The military green jeep stopped. Chen Baozhen was more anxious than Bai Qiuling and the others. She usually looked arrogant and cold in the compound, did not interact with others, and had few friends. It was the first time that Bai Qiuling and her sisters-in-law saw her so anxious.
Tian Shuyun got off the car first and shouted, "Cousin."
"Shuyun, sisters-in-law, this is my distant cousin, Tian Shuyun."
Several sisters-in-law praised her, "She is good-looking and very pretty."
Tian Shuyun was dressed carefully, wearing a beautiful floral shirt and two neatly combed pigtails. Her skin was dark with a hint of yellow. She looked decent, except for her slightly cross-eyed look.
Qin Yao got off the car after her, revealing a snow-white arm that was dazzlingly white under the sunlight. Just this arm had already attracted everyone's attention.
When Chen Baozhen's heart tightened, she immediately rushed over to Qin Yao without caring about her image and hugged Qin Yao tightly, who was a few centimeters shorter than her.
"Yaoyao! Yaoyao! It's so nice to see you!" Chen Baozhen looked excited.
Qin Yao felt uncomfortable being hugged warmly by the "strange yet familiar" woman. She was not used to such closeness.
【Do you want to check the favorability? 】
Qin Yao chose "yes", and then stood there in a daze.
[She has a favorable impression of you of 88 (she considers you her best friend in the world)]
[Open the Favorability Reward System]
[1/24 (get a favorability gift after spending 24 hours together)]
Favorability gift?
It turns out that her useless favorability system is not only able to check other people's true favorability towards her, but also provides other rewards if the favorability is high.
Qin Yao was really shocked when she saw with her own eyes how much Chen Baozhen really liked her. This sisterhood is real! Not a plastic bestie!
Chen Baozhen really likes Qin Yao and is looking forward to her coming.
"Zhenzhen!" Qin Yao hugged Chen Baozhen and jumped happily, with an indescribable excitement in her head.
After being betrayed by her best friend, Qin Yao began to doubt whether there is true friendship in this world. However, after seeing Chen Baozhen's true affection for her, she became convinced that Chen Baozhen's feelings were real and her affection was not fake.
Qin Yao had no idea how much she liked Chen Baozhen originally, but now she was Qin Yao, and she wanted to maintain this relationship.
Chen Baozhen's favorability towards her is 88, and she wants to have the same favorable impression towards Chen Baozhen.
——She wants to be friends with Chen Baozhen!
Qin Yao happily went to Chen Baozhen's home. A young soldier came to help Qin Yao with her luggage. Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen walked in hand in hand. They had to go around a circle before they could see Chen Baozhen's yard.
Chen Baozhen pointed forward: "There! Look over there! Do you see the yard full of vegetables? It's right there!"
Qin Yao blinked and looked in surprise at the yard full of green vines not far away. Various juicy vegetables were planted in the yard. There was a fence and a rack around it, with plump loofahs and bright red tomatoes hanging on them, which looked very lively.
Is this the yard of Chen Baozhen’s house? It is well maintained, with a leisurely pastoral scenery of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the southern mountains".
This represents the beauty of a good harvest.
These sisters are quite capable of managing their environment and their living environment is pretty good.
Qin Yao was happy. The scenery of the family compound was very beautiful, with a clear blue sky, distant white clouds, tall coconut trees, emerald green banana leaves, and two-story buildings. It gave people a sense of openness and non-oppression.
"We're here." Qin Yao was about to go in when she reached the yard. She wanted to pick some bright red tomatoes, but unexpectedly, Chen Baozhen pulled her aside, pointed to the yard next to her, and said, "Yaoyao, this way."
Qin Yao: “?”
The yard next door was overgrown with weeds, with plants growing here and there that were either weeds or wild flowers. In the corner, there were a few small cabbages with holes in their leaves. Qin Yaogang thought that no one lived in this yard.
"That's Teacher Bai's house next door." Chen Baozhen pointed to her own deserted and dilapidated yard without any shame, "This is my home. Look, I planted vegetables in the yard. I'll cook them for you tonight."
"I planted it myself, sister. You must try it."
Qin Yao stared at the malnourished leaves of the cabbages in the corner with hesitation. She walked over, squatted down, and found that the leaves were white and yellow, and there were several worm holes. She lifted the leaves to look at the back, which were covered with small white spots. Looking closely, she saw small yellow worms crawling around.
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she flicked her fingers, crushing a large number of red spiders on the leaves to death.
“Ah! Ah!” Chen Baozhen screamed and stepped back. “Bugs, there are bugs! Help, help, help!”
Qin Yao looked closely and saw a small shrub that she couldn't identify. There were seven or eight black caterpillars hanging on the shrub, gnawing on the green leaves of the shrub.
Chen Baozhen: "Why are there so many caterpillars?!"
Qin Yao was silent: "A gift from the butterfly."
Caterpillars are ugly, but they are indeed left behind by butterflies and will become butterflies later.
Qin Yao bravely picked up a thin bamboo stick, walked in, and poked the caterpillar on the branch, "What kind of thing is yours?"
"I don't understand. It looks like a flower. It grew from the seeds I sowed. It has a small flower that looks pretty. Please don't kill it."
Even though the bush was covered with caterpillars, Chen Baozhen was reluctant to throw it away. She wanted to save it as it was one of the few flowering plants in her yard.
Qin Yao simply poked down a black caterpillar, then took a step back and stepped on a petunia. This was like poking a hornet's nest. The 140-pound little fat girl immediately took three steps back and screamed, "Ah ...
The petunias were covered with whiteflies, which were clinging to the leaves without moving. Qin Yao stepped on them, startling all the whiteflies. The whiteflies scattered in all directions, like dust all over the sky, which was extremely terrifying.
Chen Baozhen, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, hid behind Qin Yao. The two of them worked together to throw away the petunia covered with white moths.
Qin Yao was sweating profusely: "Zhenzhen, are you planting or breeding in the yard?"
Chen Baozhen: "I grow flowers and vegetables."
"Your flowers and vegetables aren't very good." Qin Yao was speechless: "Your pets in the yard are pretty fat."
This sister is a talented person, she has gathered all kinds of pests.
Qin Yao stood up straight, turned around to look at the heroine Bai Qiuling's yard full of green harvest, and then looked at Chen Baozhen's yard full of "harmful pets". As a control group, Chen Baozhen was very competent.
The heroine Bai Qiuling also has a hard time... The yard next door is full of pests, and the vegetables she grows are also easily infected by pests.
Chen Baozhen's yard is full of pests, which means that all the pests have rushed to her yard, becoming the first line of defense for the heroine's vegetable garden.
Qin Yao did not study agriculture, so she couldn't judge the situation.
Chen Baozhen tucked her right hair behind her ear and stood aside with her arms folded. On the surface, she was still the elegant music teacher. She said proudly, "I don't keep animals. I think they are dirty."
Qin Yao was speechless: "..."
She casually asked, "How many times have you eaten the cabbage grown in your yard?"
Is this something you can eat? You don’t know how many times the remaining leaves have been feasted upon by pests.
Chen Baozhen shook her head: "I haven't eaten it."
"Why?"
"I'm waiting for you." Chen Baozhen said naturally.
Chen Baozhen walked up to Qin Yao and put her hands on her shoulders. She looked excited and said, "Yaoyao, I planted this especially for you to eat. You must show your support. I won't allow others to eat it."
If Qin Yao had not been convinced again that Chen Baozhen's favorability level towards her was 88, would she have really thought that this guy was speaking in a sarcastic way? Could the cabbages grown by Chen Baozhen be eaten? And it’s only for her to eat.
"Yaoyao, you must eat!"
Qin Yao: "I will eat only after you eat."
Chen Baozhen: "No, this is specially for you."
…
Qin Yao: "I'll strangle you to death!"
Is this true friendship between besties?
Qin Yao began to suspect that the favorability system she carried was fake. Could it be that these numbers and evaluations were nonsense?
Shouldn’t true sisters and best friends always consider each other? This sister not only does not feel ashamed of growing the cabbage like this, but she also feeds the malnourished leaves full of insect holes to her.
pit!
