Even so, He Guiqi still praised as she looked at it: "Sister, your little vegetable garden would be amazing in our army."
The vegetables in the military greenhouses are far inferior to those grown by Zuo Ling.
He casually picked a small, reddish tomato, wiped it off, and put it directly into his mouth, mumbling, "It's so hard for us to get any vegetables. I've almost forgotten what tomatoes taste like."
As she spoke, she plucked a small cucumber, about an inch long, squeezed off the sharp thorns with both hands, and took a big bite. "Delicious, so delicious!"
Zuo Ling felt a tightness in her teeth and chuckled, "It's so small, how could it possibly taste anything? You're exaggerating."
He Guiqi stared wide-eyed:
“I’m not exaggerating. My sister is living too comfortably and doesn’t know what’s going on outside. Now when I see grass, I want to run up and take a bite.”
Many soldiers have fallen ill due to a lack of vegetables and vitamins from not having enough to eat for a long time; he wasn't exaggerating.
"I like them, I'll take them with me when I leave."
"Really? Sis, you really want me to take them all? If I take these back, the whole company will blow them up."
Just imagining that scene makes He Guiqi excited.
"Of course, but I have conditions."
"You name it, I'll agree to whatever your conditions are."
Zuo Ling said seriously, "You mustn't say you took it from me. You can figure out how to make it up."
He Guiqi wasn't stupid. Once he took the vegetables back, it would definitely cause a sensation. The army was severely lacking in vegetables, and they would definitely ask him where they came from.
If it weren't for finding a suitable place to stay, he wouldn't have gone deep into the mountains, and he wouldn't have run into Zuo Ling.
Once the military finds out, they will definitely use the greater national interest as an excuse to persuade Zuo Ling to grow vegetables for the army, and Zuo Ling's peaceful life will be over.
He scratched his head and said, "I'd better not take it. Taking it back would just be a hassle."
Zuo Ling felt a warmth in her heart. He Guiqi was no longer the troublemaking young master he used to be.
Pat him:
"Not bad, you know how to consider your older sister. Since you're so thoughtful, I'll treat you to a big meal."
What a feast! He Guiqi was drooling with envy.
Zuo Ling called Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao over:
“I haven’t introduced you yet. This is my brother, and this is my younger brother. He is He Guizhi’s younger brother, He Guiqi. Just now, my brother and my younger brother saved you.”
Zuo Ling briefly introduced the two parties.
He Guiqi had been in the army for a while and guessed that the two brothers had saved him. Zuo Ling didn't explain, so he didn't ask too many questions.
My guess was confirmed, which surprised me.
Pei Nansheng is alright, but Xiao Hao is so young, yet he dared to shoot and kill someone?
He sighed inwardly, remembering how he used to throw tantrums when he was Xiao Hao's age.
He rubbed his hands together, feeling embarrassed: "I can't thank you enough for such a great favor. It's my first time visiting, and I don't have much to offer as a gift."
Zuo Ling laughed at him: "Alright, stop with the polite words. Just focus on your career in the army. Once you've made a name for yourself, you'll have plenty of time to repay my kindness."
He Guiqi puffed out his chest: "No doubt about it. Once I become a high-ranking official, I will definitely protect you."
"You have ambition, we'll be waiting."
