When Aunt Zhang heard Ling Xue was out setting up a stall last night, she slapped her thigh. "So it's you! I also heard there was a beautiful girl selling potted vegetables at the market last night! It's a pity several people were too late to buy any!"
Ling Xue immediately continued, "There are plenty at home. Tell me what you and Uncle Zhang want to eat, and I'll plant them for you when I get home. It's not worth much!"
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang laughed happily: "Then your Uncle Zhang and I can enjoy your blessing! Haha——"
They really treated Ling Xue as their little treasure. Although she was not their biological child, she was no different from their own. However, they did not expect that Ling Xue had such good planting skills!
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were also very happy that Ling Xue had such a good skill!
After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhang and Ling Xue went to the kitchen to prepare food, while Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao studied the pile of vegetables in the pots.
Cooking is a piece of cake for Ling Xue and Aunt Zhang, but Ling Xue just helps out and Aunt Zhang does the final steps. Ling Xue is also afraid that if she makes food with added ingredients, it will arouse suspicion.
It's not that I'm deliberately hiding something, it's just that I'm not at the point where I can confess it yet.
Another thing is that if Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang discover her difference, they may not do anything to her, or they may even help her hide it. But this time Zhang Enhui brought a few friends back with her, so it’s better to be careful.
Zhang Enhui is the heroine. How many heroines in natural disaster stories are easy to deal with?
It’s not impossible for Ling Xue to choose to be a lone wolf and survive the natural disaster alone, but Aunt Zhang and her family usually take good care of her, and she can’t just stop contacting them.
Besides, even though the drought had struck, the national order remained. Although there had been various problems later on, it had always been there. Therefore, it was impossible for Ling Xue to live alone. Instead of living with a group of strangers, it was better to live with familiar people like Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's family.
Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao were constantly tinkering in the living room, changing the placement of the flower pots and vegetables every now and then. I didn't know what to do.
They usually stay at home most of the time. People who are used to going out feel very depressed when they suddenly can't go out, just like being locked in a cage.
If something new suddenly happens, people will be very excited. This is the situation with Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao now.
The two of them discussed how to make the vegetables in the flowerpot delicious, whether they liked sunlight, how much water they needed every day, etc. Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao, the newbie, were having a very heated discussion.
Finally, the two even wanted to plant a few fruit trees in the house. Although they knew the possibility was not high, it did not stop them from imagining picking fruits and eating them.
After hearing what they were discussing, Ling Xue thought to herself that she could actually plant fruit trees in the house. She would then cultivate a few pots and send them over to let them open their eyes.
Aunt Zhang and Ling Xue had prepared all the dishes, and had stewed everything that needed to be stewed, but they hadn't started cooking a few stir-fries yet. There was still time to start cooking them when Zhang Enhui came back.
"Let's do this for now. We can still make the rest when Xiaohui comes back!" Aunt Zhang pulled Ling Xue out of the kitchen.
Ling Xue didn't stay at Aunt Zhang's house for long and went back to her own home next door first.
"Okay, then I'll go back and stew a big pot of mung bean soup, let it cool down, and then it'll be just right for Sister Xiaohui to drink when she comes back!" Ling Xue felt uncomfortable leaving, so she assigned herself another task.
Fortunately, she was smart, otherwise she would have been pulled away by Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao to discuss the topic they had talked about several times.
Seeing Ling Xue running away, Uncle Zhang and Xiaobao felt so sorry!
