Chapter 131: Planting Vegetables



The whole family enjoyed the meal very much.

In the afternoon, Lu Huaijin and the two children left home.

Xu Niannian also got up and walked into the yard to stretch. He didn't have time to take a look at this small yard yesterday. The yard was not small and most of it was not used.

The house was built rather simply, with two bedrooms, a main room and a kitchen.

Just as I was staring at the vegetable garden in a daze, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Niannian didn't know who would come to see her at this time. When she opened the door, she found a strange woman standing outside with a basket of vegetables in her hand.

Seeing her open the door, I took the initiative to say hello:

"Big sister, I live next door, you can just call me Sister Li. I saw you just came back from outside, so there must be no vegetables at home, so I picked some from the vegetable garden."

Xu Niannian looked at the vegetables. They were all freshly picked and neatly stacked together. It was obvious that they were carefully arranged.

He turned sideways:

"Hello, Sister Li, please come in and rest for a while."

Sister Li originally planned to come in and chat, so she went in too.

Xu Niannian went into the house and made a cup of malted milk and filled a small plate with biscuits.

These things were brought from the capital before. Although she doesn't like to eat them, they are precious things and it would be a waste to leave them in the capital. Maybe the two children like them and bring them here.

She placed the malted milk and biscuits in front of Mrs. Li and poured herself a cup of tea.

Sister Li was stunned when she saw such a big deal:

"No, no, you can just keep this precious thing for yourselves."

Xu Niannian smiled:

"My sister-in-law is being distant with me. I'm in need of vegetables right now, so that basket of vegetables is an emergency help."

Sister Li pursed her lips. The vegetable was worth only a few dollars, and it was only a few cents per pound at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Others have already poured themselves out, so it would be rude of you not to drink.

She took a sip of the sweet malted milk and asked Xu Niannian a little embarrassedly:

"What did you cook for lunch? My son Erniu was like a lost soul when he smelled that smell."

Although he hardened his heart and ignored his son at noon, he was still talking about him in his dreams during his sleep. In the end, he couldn't bear it and went to his house to ask for his advice.

"Oh, that's a drink I made for the kids, but they drank it all at noon. Next time I make it, I'll send you some to try. It just so happens that the kids love it."

Sister Li was not in a position to take advantage of others, so she quickly waved her hand:

"Just tell me how to do it, and I'll go back and do it for them."

Suddenly she slapped her head. Some people don't like to tell others how to cook. It's like she's forcing others to tell her how to cook.

"Don't think too much about it. If it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it."

Xu Niannian touched the cup in his hand:

"There's nothing wrong with that. Just boil White Rabbit candy and tea leaves together."

Sister Li was speechless for a moment. She originally thought that it was just some brown sugar paired with flowers and plants, but she didn't expect it was White Rabbit and tea.

I don't have any of this thing.

I guess Erniu is not that lucky.

But it can be seen that this girl is a good person. She is willing to spend so much money on a child that is not her own. As a mother, I feel ashamed of myself.

Xu Niannian saw that Mrs. Li was silent, and thinking that these things were indeed good things, she also kept silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Looking out from the main room at the bare vegetable patch outside, Sister Li said:

"It's a pity that your vegetable field is left uncultivated."

"Who said it wasn't? I asked Huai Jin to go out and buy some vegetable seeds."

Sister Li slapped her thigh:

"Our vegetable garden is growing wildly, and I still have a lot of vegetable seeds left. If you want to buy anything, just get it directly from us. You have to wait a few days for the army to go out and purchase it."

Xu Niannian thought so too and did it right away.

Sister Li took people directly to their home, and their home was also quiet:

"My family is similar to yours. The eldest one goes to school, the second one goes to daycare, and I'm usually bored at home."

As he spoke, he pulled some more vegetables from the vegetable garden, this time pulling them up with the roots. He felt a little embarrassed for having drunk someone's malted milk just now.

Xu Niannian watched as Sister Li pulled up the vegetables by the roots:

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"You guys are slow at planting seeds, go back and plant this in, it will last for a few days, and by then your seeds will be able to be planted as well."

Then he went to the kitchen and took out some vegetable seeds.

Xu Niannian felt really embarrassed this time, and secretly made up her mind to send a portion to their home when she made something delicious tomorrow.

Sister Li helped people to the end, and even gave them everything she needed. Looking at Xu Niannian's thin arms and legs, she didn't know whether he could grow the seeds.

He also helped Xu Niannian plant the vegetables they had just picked in the field.

It was not enough to plant the seeds, but they also had to plant the vegetable seeds. Xu Niannian was embarrassed and stopped them:

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law, for your hard work today."

Sister Li patted the dirt off her hands and looked at the sky:

"That's nothing. I'm usually bored at home. I'll go back and cook first."

Just as he was about to go back, Xu Niannian called him back:

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute."

When she came out of the main room, she was holding cookies wrapped in pastry paper:

"Take it back and feed it to the child."

Sister Li originally wanted to do a push and pull, but seeing that people really wanted to give it, she was too lazy to make noodles:

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. If you have anything, come to me."

After Sister Li left, Xu Niannian watered the vegetables that had just been moved from the field with a few drops of spiritual spring water, and then began to cook.

When Lu Ze was having dinner that night, he discovered that his aunt’s cooking was really delicious. Even though it was the same dish made by Grandma Liu, the taste was very different.

As usual, Xu Niannian teased her younger brother during dinner. She felt something was strange at noon, and her guess was confirmed in the evening.

While Lu Ze was eating happily, he also noticed that his aunt's face looked a little serious when she was teasing his brother.

He observed carefully and found no disdain in it, but he still felt uneasy.

After finishing her meal quickly, she inserted herself between them and started feeding her younger brother.

If I find that my younger brother is different from other children, will I kick him out?

He pursed his lips.

After dinner, Lu Huaijin got a lot of lime from somewhere.

He plans to build a separate room for the bathroom, which is relatively humid and has higher requirements for waterproofing.

Lu Huaijin was busy in the yard with his bare chest again.

Xu Niannian boiled some water to give the two children a bath. She had seen it just now. Their faces looked clean, but there was gray residue on their joints.

I don't even know how often I should take a shower.

The water was boiled and poured into the basin, but Lu Ze seemed extremely nervous.

He has been feeling a little itchy lately, so he usually washes it with water when washing his face. He has also asked his grandmother to help him wash it before.
