Hearing Li Lingyun’s words, Jiao Wanwan was stunned. She didn’t know that there was no blood relationship between her husband and Li Lingyun. So, she thought that her husband’s cousin was very generous as he gave them a big basket of vegetables. She was reluctant to buy vegetables because of the price. So, she and her family haven’t had vegetarian dishes for a while.
"Thank you, cousin. Little Baozi has been craving for some vegetables recently. Fortunately you gave us some, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to buy them even if we had money. There are no vegetables in the supply store now." Jiao Wanwan said as she went to untie the bamboo basket and check the vegetables.
While his wife was busy taking out the vegetables, Ling Yunjie glanced at the fresh vegetables, then raised his eyebrows at his friend. He knew that his friend had returned to the Li family and settled in Xie Village. But he had no idea he was so good at farming. Just by looking at the vegetables, he knew they were of very good quality.
Noticing his friend’s silent inquiry, Li Lingyun smiled and said nothing. The two have been friends for more than ten years and have a deep understanding of each other. So, when Ling Yunjie saw his smile, he didn’t ask any more questions and continued cooking. Whatever he wants to ask, he can ask when the two of them are alone.
Thirty minutes later, the dishes were ready and everyone was sitting around the table. Looking at the stir-fry eggplant and tomato soup, Ling Yunjie’s son, Ling Penxi, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Mother, can we eat now?"
Jiao Wanwan listened to his words, flicked his forehead gently and said, "You ah, say thank you to your uncle first. Your uncle gave you these vegetables."
After hearing that it was for him, Ling Pengxi looked at Li Lingyun and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle!"
"Mhmm, eat more and grow faster." Li Lingyun said, rubbing his head.
Seeing that his son and wife were both hungry, Ling Yunjie said, "Okay, let’s eat first while the food is still hot."
After he took his first bite, they started eating. Since he has no shortage of vegetables, Li Lingyun only ate one bite of fried eggplant and half a bowl of tomato soup, and left the rest for his friends.
Ling Yunjie’s family believes that no matter how fresh the vegetables are, the taste will not be much different from those bought from state-owned supply stores. But the moment they tasted the eggplant, they were taken aback. Not only is it delicious, but they also feel refreshed after eating it. freewebnσvel.cøm
Unlike usual when they chat while eating, this time, they were busy eating and no one talked at all. Seeing them eating with gusto, Li Lingyun smiled and added some vegetables to the Ling Pengxi’s bowl.
In less than thirty minutes, they finished their lunch. Looking at the clean plate, Jiao Wanwan felt a little embarrassed. She asked her husband’s cousin to eat more, but most of the food ended up in her and her son’s stomachs.
After dinner, Li Lingyun and Ling Yunjie went to the study to chat privately, while Jiao Wanwan cleared the table and washed the dishes.
