Judging from the time, it should have been the hospital staff or Doctor Yu who had come to see them so early.
It had been a few days since he told them that he wanted to exchange vegetables with jade. It seems that he finally came to do it today.
While Dong Huang went to continue watering the vegetable garden, Lu Jueyu came to the living room. As she entered the room, she saw her husband already sitting there with Doctor Yu.
Li Chenmo saw her coming, took the bamboo basket in her hand and said, "Wife, Doctor Yu is here to give you a gift."
After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu understood and said, "Husband, we can’t accept this gift without giving something in return."
Hearing their conversation, Doctor Yu was confused at first. After a while, he finally understood. The situation in the village is different from that in the town where his family lives.
In the village, neighbors looked at each other, chatted, and liked to gossip. Therefore, they can’t say anything directly in case someone with bad intentions hears it and reports them.
After coming to this conclusion, Doctor Yu said, "Sister-in-law, just give me some vegetables, that will do."
"In that case, Doctor Yu can choose vegetables in the garden," Lu Jueyu said with a knowing smile.
When Doctor Yu heard this, he nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, then I won’t be polite to you and Brother Li."
"Sure, this way please."
Lu Jueyu led him to the front yard and said, "Doctor Yu, we have planted some lettuce, eggplants, and pole beans in the front yard. In the backyard, we have planted some tomatoes, cucumbers, peanuts, carrots, and soybeans. You can choose your favorite."
After hearing her words, Doctor Yu glanced at them and asked a little embarrassedly, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, can you give me some each?"
He was afraid that he was asking for too much, so he added, "I won’t pick too many, one kilogram each is enough."
Li Chenmo has already inspected the jade that Doctor Yu brought over. Although the quantity is not large, the jade is of high quality, and one of them has a high collection value. Therefore, giving him a few kilograms of each vegetable is nothing.
However, he didn’t want Doctor Yu to think that they valued the jade too much, so he hesitated and said, "Brother Yu, we have both served in the army and can be said to be comrades-in-arms. So, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. You can choose two kilograms for each type."
When Doctor Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, you are so generous! Then I won’t be polite."
After reaching an agreement, they started collecting vegetables for him. With the help of Dong Li and Dong Huang, they finished harvesting the vegetables in less than an hour.
Li Chenmo put the vegetables in a large bamboo basket, covered it with some hay, and tied it to the back seat of Doctor Yu’s bicycle. As for Han Liling’s food, the bamboo basket was placed in the front basket of the bicycle.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law, thank you for the vegetables. Tomorrow, the hospital staff will come to pick up Han Liling’s food."
