Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 86 Reappearance ([-])

"Enn, this corn is really good. It's much better than the boiled corn sold on the street!"

On the weekend, Chen Xue and his wife came to spend the weekend. Meng Zhen had just finished harvesting the corn and cooked a dozen of them in a large earthen stove pot.Chen Xue was also welcome. She helped to fish out the cooked corn with a strainer, cooled it with well water, peeled off the skin, and removed the corn silk. The unique fragrance, just smelling it, made Chen Xue feel hungry, she sat down on the sofa in the living room and started to gnaw.

"It's okay. I broke it myself. You don't know how tired you are. Zheng Jian and I worked hard all day, and we only broke two sacks. I wanted to enjoy the joy of the harvest, but after being exhausted , and finally asked the harvester to help."

Meng Zhen also took one, broke it apart, handed half to Linglong who was guarding one side, and gnawed on the other half.As soon as this guy smelled the fragrance, he started to circle around the stove. If she hadn't stopped him, he would have lifted the lid of the pot by himself.

"Hey, that's right." Chen Xue ate the corn kernels on the cob in a few mouthfuls, took a piece of tissue paper from the coffee table to wipe her hands, then pulled her small bag and took out a shopping card: "Here, my mother-in-law For you."

"What?" Meng Zhen put down the half-eaten corn and reached out to take it.

"The shopping card of the Ginza Supermarket seems to have 500 yuan in it. We don't usually use the welfare issued by the mother-in-law's unit, so she asked me to bring it to you. Don't you often go to the supermarket to shop? Using this is the same as cash !"

"Shopping card?! Forget it, you should return it to Auntie. She has already helped us a lot by contacting the doctor. How can I have the nerve to charge you more!"

Zhao's mother lent her 2 yuan, and she returned it to the old man when she gave it as a gift. At that time, she also prepared a lot of things to give to others, but there was no reason to charge money for the gifts she gave.The shopping card is not cash, but it is money in disguise. She gave the card to Chen Xue again.

"I'll take it if I give it to you," Chen Xue has always been quick to do things. She threw the card to Meng Zhen without any nonsense, "She is very rare about the saffron you gave her last time. She uses it to soak water every two days. She said that she hadn’t seen such a good thing for many years, and it was almost as authentic as the one she bought when she went to XZ last time. I know that I will give you money, but you will definitely not accept it. This shopping card is issued by the unit, not for money I bought it, so you can accept it happily. I heard that you also built a greenhouse to grow saffron, and she wants to ask for more in the future. If you don’t accept it, how can she have the nerve to ask for it!”

"This, I gave it to the old man, how can I collect money..."

"Hey, just take it for you. If you want to give gifts to the elderly, you don't want them to return them. Hurry up and put them away, why are we polite?!" Chen Xue put away the bag, took another corn and continued to eat.

"Okay, after the saffron planted this time matures, I'll give her some more. By the way, would you like some too? I've been drinking for half a year, and my body feels much better!"

Meng Zhen put the card on the coffee table, and it would be too polite to refuse after talking about this.

"I, let me forget it, we are planning to have a baby! This is not suitable for me to drink."

"Hehe, I've finally saved enough children's money!"

When Chen Xue lived with her before, the two of them discussed how much it would cost to raise a child in the city, the cost of production, the child’s milk powder, and various expenses for going to school in the future. After the calculation, Chen Xue I can't help but be speechless: No wonder there are more and more DINKs now, and it is too difficult to raise a child.She thinks that there is no need to engage in family planning in the future. With such a spending method, if there are too many children, she will not be able to support them.

"If you don't save enough, you have to have a baby. We are not too young, so hurry up and have a baby while we are young. After a few years, we won't even have the energy to have a baby!"

"How could it be so exaggerated?" Linglong finished eating her own piece, and then turned her eyes to the pot of corn. Seeing its restlessness, Meng Zhen hurriedly peeled a piece of corn for it.

"We started making preparations when we came back from Lijiang. Zhao Kai quit smoking and drinking. As for me, the cosmetology and bodybuilding classes have been suspended. The two of us are actively preparing for the arrival of the child together!"

During the Dragon Boat Festival, she saw the photos of Yanan's baby, and she was very envious. She has been married for two years, and it is time to have a baby.In order to save the mother-in-law and the others from talking about it, when chatting, they would talk about someone's daughter-in-law having a baby, whose son is as old as Zhao Kai, and whose grandson is in kindergarten or something.

"Okay, when you guys have a baby, I'll be a godmother!" Meng Zhen also likes babies, and every time he surfs the Internet, he would look at Yanan's updated photos on Qzone.It's a pity that they are too far away, and she hasn't really seen the child yet.

"It's okay to be a godmother, but as for the child, it's better to be your own, hey, I said—"

"I'll get married, don't worry!" Every time it was this set of rhetoric, Meng Zhen knew what Xiaoxue was going to say without listening.

"It's good to know!" Chen Xue ate a few corns, feeling a little full in her stomach, so she walked around the yard twice.Look at the hares, feed the chickens, you can experience the rural life you saw on TV and novels in Mengzhen.

Meng Zhen wrapped the remaining corn in plastic wrap. Originally, she cooked these as gifts for buyers in the outlet.Yesterday, she hired a harvester and harvested all her corn fields. A total of more than 500 catties of corn per acre of land was harvested. She kept [-] catties of corn at home and gave the rest to the corn harvesters. acquired.

There is a designated grain purchasing office near Zhoujiazhuang. When Meng Zhen’s wheat was ripe before, the buyer heard that her wheat was ripe early and the grains were also enough. At that time, she asked Meng Zhen to buy it. Meng Zhen felt that the output was not enough. It's not big, and I'll eat some for myself, and give the rest to my friends, so I didn't agree.

This time when people saw that her corn was ripe, she came to buy it again. She thought that corn is not a staple food, and the 1000 catties would not be enough to eat, so this time when people came to buy, Meng Zhen kept enough for herself to eat and give away, and the rest all sold.This year's purchase price was eighty-five cents a catty of corn, and she sold 1000 catties, earning more than [-] yuan.

She took out some apples and cucumbers and prepared to make Xiaoxue's favorite cold dish.She habitually picked off the bracelet, and when she saw her empty wrist, she remembered that the jade bracelet was broken. She sighed softly, and began to clean the apples and cucumbers.

Peel the washed apples and cucumbers, and she slowly peels the cucumbers with a peeling knife.I learned this cold dish when I was eating in a restaurant. Slice peeled apples and cucumbers, and then mix them with sugar. It is sweet and sour, very refreshing, and has a faint taste of cantaloupe.

Meng Zhen has made it several times, and Chen Xue likes it very much after tasting it. It happens that there are ready-made apples at home, so I will make it again today.Alas, ever since the jade bracelet was broken, she tried her best to keep herself busy, busy harvesting corn and taking care of the shop, but in the dead of night, she would still involuntarily take out the pieces of the jade bracelet, and couldn't stop thinking about what was inside. Flowers and plants, spring water and wooden houses, and of course piles of cash inside.

"Oops!" She was lost in thought, but forgot that she still had a knife in her hand. She accidentally cut her finger, and blood gushed out immediately. She quickly covered the wound with a towel, went to the bedroom to find the medicine box, and cleaned the wound. Clean it, then put a Band-Aid on it.

"Really, your Linglong is so much fun, hehe, she's just a cunning little bully, ah, what's wrong with your hand?"

Chen Xue walked around in the yard, and then went to the greenhouse to have a look. Linglong was like a naughty child, following behind her, chasing chickens and rabbits for a while, Lei Ao was annoyed by it After roaring twice, it was so frightened that it immediately calmed down.

Seeing its slumped head, Chen Xue laughed so hard that her stomach ached. This little thing is so much fun.After walking around for a while, I felt a little thirsty, so I went to the kitchen to find water to drink, only to see Meng Zhen wearing disposable gloves cutting apple slices, with Band-Aids on his fingers.

"Hehe, it's okay, I was accidentally cut by a knife just now! Come on, try it, I just adjusted it!"

Meng Zhen squeezed an apple through the glove and brought it to Chen Xue's mouth.

In the evening, Chen Xue and his wife were sent away, and Meng Zhen put on gloves to take a shower after finishing his work in the online shop.Although she was careful to avoid the wound, water got in and the Band-Aid was soaked.

After taking a shower, she frowned and tore off the soggy Band-Aid, then went to the bedroom to get the medicine box while wiping her hair.I miss her manor again in my heart. If it is there, applying "ginseng fruit" on the wound will be more effective than Yunnan Baiyao.

Taking the medicine box into the living room, she saw Linglong playing with a flannel bag.Meng Zhen looked familiar, put the medicine box on the coffee table, walked around behind Linglong, only to find that it was the cloth bag where he put the broken jade.

"Linglong," she was anxious, the jade bracelet was shattered, but it was still of great significance to her, its existence convinced herself that the manor had indeed appeared, and it was not a scene in her dream: "Be good, Linglong, put the bag Give it to me!"

Linglong squeaked and refused to hand over the things, its ability to imitate became stronger and stronger.In the past, Meng Zhen often sat on the side with a cloth bag and sighed blankly.It also sat on the ground, regardless of Meng Zhen's "gentle" greeting, pulled the drawstring of the bag, poured out the pieces under Meng Zhen's angry eyes, and spread them on the floor.

"Linglong! Stop it!"

Meng Zhen hurriedly picked up Linglong, snatched two fragments from its claws, then drove it outside and closed the door.

She put the pieces together carefully. These are the broken jade pieces of the two bracelets, and the one from my aunt also gave her.Every time she thinks of the manor, she puts the jade together piece by piece to form two jade bracelets that are no longer complete.

She was usually too involved, so she didn't see that Linglong was imitating it too. Today, she slowly put the pieces together, and the wound on her hand that was not bandaged slowly leaked blood, and then stained the broken jade.

She was watching intently, when suddenly, N pieces of broken jade glowed red...
