Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 233: Li Meili’s reception is so overwhelming

Zhang Baiyan chuckled and said: "Auntie, there are only three of us. We can't finish what the little sister mentioned, and I don't have anything to eat."

"That won't work! It's hard to get to Auntie's side! Since you don't tell me, then I will make the decision myself!" Li Meili pointed to the pond and said: "It is used to divert seawater and raise some marine fish. You guys will wait a moment. You can go fishing and I will cook it for you. I will also cook you a seaweed and oyster stew. This is also a specialty of my place. Everyone who comes here will order it. "

Zhang Wanwan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's it. My mother's cooking is not authentic, so I'll eat what my aunt makes!"

One sentence made Li Meili feel elated. Thinking that her beautiful and capable niece liked her craftsmanship, she couldn't sit still.

While Li Meili was cooking, the three of them went to the strawberry garden each carrying a small basket.

Yu Yunfei looked at Zhang Wanwan jokingly and said, "I didn't expect that our Wanwan's flattering skills are also top-notch. Just now I saw that my aunt was so coaxed by you that she wished she could give you her heart and soul!"

"Hahaha." Zhang Baiyan laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears, "Yunfei, you don't know, this girl is the best at this trick. All the elders in my family don't like her. Sometimes I even hear it. I can’t sit still, I feel so shameless!”

Zhang Wanwan was angry and glared at Zhang Baiyan fiercely, "You're still talking about me! If it weren't for the poor conditions at home when I was young, I wouldn't have done this if I wanted to coax adults to give me more food! Besides, children who can scream have milk. Eat, how many candies have I gotten for you with this mouth since you were little? You don’t even know how to thank me!”

Looking at Zhang Wanwan's background, Zhang Baiyan was suddenly stunned, feeling sour and uncomfortable in his heart.

Yu Yunfei stopped worriedly, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Boyan shook his head and showed a faint smile, "It's just that after listening to what that girl just said, I felt a little uncomfortable thinking about some of the past things."

Yu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then patted Zhang Baiyan's arm comfortingly, "It's all over!"

Looking at Zhang Baiyan's reaction, she realized that what Zhang Wanwan said about her family being poor before was really poor. However, she did not ask further questions and did not want to expose his scars. She turned around and saw that Zhang Wanwan was already buried in the pile of strawberries, sticking her **** out to pick them. Zheng Huan, she quickly followed.

Kneeling down and taking a closer look, Yu Yunfei couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wan Wan, the strawberries here are growing really well. Did they use something?"

Zhang Wanwan knew what she meant, and shook her head: "No, this is a new variety. I asked the professor for it. Many strawberry varieties in China are imported from abroad, and there are more from Japan. This kind is from the research institute in the northwest. The newly developed varieties have not yet been widely promoted, but those over there It has been planted in the experimental field for three years. Its characteristics are stable, strong resistance to pests and diseases, drought and cold resistance, juicy and sweet, and red in size. It is not as easy to rot when mature as the early varieties, so I want to buy some. To my aunt, it turns out that this variety of strawberries is quite adaptable to the environment here.

I'll ask more about it later when I'm having dinner to see how they take care of it, and I'll take some back to the professor to try when I go back to school. "

Yu Yunfei gave Zhang Wanwan a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Wanwan, I think you are really powerful and courageous! You also know how to deal with the world. I would not dare to take such a risk! Remember to send it to the professor? No wonder Professor Zhang loves you so much, it’s not without reason!”

Zhang Wanwan laughed twice without answering.

Because of the big size of the strawberries, Zhang Wanwan's basket was full after picking them for a while. Zhang Baiyan had almost picked them and stood up and said, "I'll take them back. Yun Fei's side is only half a box. You can continue to play. I'll come back later." carry."

They both nodded, not polite at all.

In the end, each of the three picked a basket, which weighed about nine kilograms. Li Meili was cooking on the side, glanced at it and said: "There is well water over there. You can shake it up and wash it. The well water is warm now and will not freeze your hands. After washing, you can run it through the warm water over there and then you can eat it. ”

Zhang Wanwan turned her neck and asked: "Auntie, how did you grow this strawberry? Did you put any pesticides in it?"

Li Meili shook her head, "I don't dare. I just sprayed it once or twice before there was no result. I was afraid that the leaves would get bugs and get sick. Later, your uncle saw that this kind of strawberry didn't attract bugs and didn't get sick very much, so he didn't need it. The rest is all about fertilizing." That’s it. We only water the fruits when they are almost ripe. We don’t care if it rains occasionally. Can you smell the smell of pesticides when you go to the fields now?”

The three of them shook their heads.

"That's right. No pesticides have been sprayed since the results. You can eat with confidence. To be honest, we don't dare to use pesticides even if it attracts bugs. Many of the guests who come here are children. Children are not very particular. Some go We are also afraid of picking it from the fields and putting it into our mouths without washing it." Li Meili sighed and said, "Fortunately, Wanwan has made a good variety, which saves us a lot of trouble!"

Zhang Wanwan replied with a playful smile: "Auntie, I asked the professor to help me make it. When school starts, I have to ask you for some to take back to the professor to try."

"It should, it should!" Li Meili's reaction was as it should be, making the others laugh.

Zhang Baiyan carried a basket of strawberries to clean, while Zhang Wanwan went fishing with Yu Yunfei.

Yu Yunfei was eager to get one or two fish up so that Li Meili could give them extra meals. However, after fishing for a long time, he didn't catch anything. Instead, Zhang Yunwan got a palm-sized fish up first, which made Yu Yunfei extremely depressed.

But then neither of them gained anything. Li Meili couldn't laugh or cry when she saw the small fish, so she went directly to the back and killed a larger fish to make fish soup for them.

The three of them sat outside the shed enjoying the warm winter sun and eating the strawberries they picked. It was a pleasure.

Li Meili prepared a meal for them at noon and asked them to eat there. The three of them enjoyed a different kind of farm meal, filling their stomachs immediately.

It was almost a little while before Zhang Boyan proposed to leave.

There happened to be guests coming over, and Li Meili didn't have time to greet them, so she put the other two baskets of strawberries on their car and said without hesitation: "Take them back to eat, and come back tomorrow to play. My aunt is busy, so I won't send them to you!"

Zhang Boyan did not refuse, thanked him and drove away.

The two women, who had eaten too much on the road, leaned against each other and fell asleep.

Zhang Boyan smiled brightly when he saw their appearance in the rearview mirror and turned down the music. After a while, both Zhang Wanwan and Yu Yunfei fell asleep.
