A small sprout of hope

  With a heavy heart, I entered the house and saw the two of them like this, probably also traumatized by today's incident.

  "Wife, it's time to cook."

  Geng Mei heard her husband's voice and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to cook lunch, so she let Yu Tong go.

  "Did you hear about what happened this morning?"

  Bai Wengui nodded, "Mm-hmm, I'll go take a look after dinner. Girl, don't get too close to the river from now on, or else something might happen and we won't be able to live with ourselves."

  Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not that stupid. The place with the hole, I've never gotten close to it. Oh right, look at this, mom helped me grow these vegetables."

  Yu Sai presented the white porcelain vase to La, saying that the flower pot was just a simple wooden board nailed together, somewhat like a pig trough.

  Bai Wengui thought it was just a joke, so he hugged Yu Tong and looked at him one by one.

  After a simple meal, Bai Wengui and Geng Mei went to the house where something had happened. When they returned, both of their faces showed a hint of sadness.

  Since the incident of a child falling into the water in Tuen Mun, all parents in the village have begun to take care of their own children, lest such a tragedy happen again.

  Yu Xi had nothing better to do than stay at home and study flowerpots for planting vegetables. As soon as she woke up in the morning, she went to see her seeds.

  A layer of new green has emerged densely on the soil surface in the flower pot. It's not easy to see this new green in the middle of winter, and Yu Xuan couldn't help but call out to Geng Mei, who was still busy in the kitchen.

  "Mom, come and take a look quickly, the seeds have sprouted and will soon grow into vegetables."

  Geng Mei originally didn't believe that her daughter could accomplish anything, but when she saw the small sprouts in the flower pot, even she was shocked and had her mouth agape in disbelief.

  "Old Bai, Wenli Bai, come and take a look quickly..."

  Bai Wenli was busy chopping firewood in the yard, sweating profusely as he struggled with the wooden stake in his hand, when he heard his wife's urgent cry.

  He didn't know what was going on inside, so he hastily threw down the axe in his hand and rushed into the house in a few steps.

  Two women, one big and one small, were squatting beside a flower pot. "What's going on? You're shouting loudly and then softly."

  Geng Mei saw the sweat on her husband's face and quickly got up to help him wipe it off, pointing at the flower pot, "Look, our daughter really grew vegetables, they've all sprouted into small seedlings."

  Bai Wenli rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Heavens, how is that possible......"

  It's not that Li Hui is suspicious, but how can the temperature on their side possibly grow vegetables at home? This is simply a fantasy. He has been planting for so many years and still understands this basic principle. After circling around the flower pot several times, he couldn't find the reason.

  "Geng Mei, is this soil from the backyard? And was the water used also from the well?"

  "Of course, otherwise you think this water is from heaven? This is still me and your daughter working together to get it. The water was scooped from the vat, no problem at all."

  Geng Mei was very certain about this, and Xiao Yatou had not left the house for two days, just wandering around the flower pot.

  Bai Wenli was at a loss, this was also unbelievable, could it be that their home was a treasure land.

  But thinking about it, he felt that it was not very possible. In the past two years, they had also planted vegetables at home, but this kind of situation had never occurred. After racking his brains, he could only think that heaven was blessing their little treasure. Otherwise, how could this child say that planting vegetables would really make them grow?

  "After thinking for half a day, he said, 'Geng Mei, it's enough that the three of us understand this matter, don't shout it out so everyone knows. I still haven't figured out what's going on, and also, Ya Tou, you mustn't tell anyone about this.'"

  Yu Cai is not stupid, she's just trying to see if she can grow vegetables at home, if word gets out it'll cause trouble.

  "Heh heh, Dad, I'm not stupid, of course. Good things, I won't let others know about them. Wait till I grow some vegetables and cook them with wine for you."

  Bai Wenli couldn't find the reason and simply didn't want to think about it anymore, just treating it as an accident. Whether or not the vegetables can grow up is still uncertain.

  Time passed slowly and quietly, and Bai Wengu and his wife started to get busy. The contracted orchard had been officially divided into their hands.

  Yu Sai had gone with them to take a look in the past, not too far from home, the orchard was very big, but their orchard only occupied a part of the whole orchard, and some were contracted by others.

  During the thaw, Yuexi's vegetables had grown slowly, but there was no time to study these white papers. The couple found someone to help build five simple houses in the orchard, which would be convenient for storing and watching the orchard in the future.

  When asking someone to come over and help, of course, they have to be fed. The dishes that Yueting grew were finally used to entertain the guests.

  Bai Weng saw the green on the table and knew his wife had stir-fried the vegetables their daughter had grown.

  Without making a sound, he quietly took a bite of the green vegetables and tasted them. The flavor was good, better than what he had grown himself before. Others hadn't seen green vegetables all winter, so when they saw them at the White's house, who could resist? Everyone rushed to grab some, and the small amount of green vegetables ended up in everyone's stomachs.

  "Lao Bai, where did you buy this cabbage from? It tastes so good, even better than what we grow ourselves. Brothers, don't you feel that Lao Bai's family dishes are always fragrant?"

  Someone spoke out, and others also had the same feeling, "Yes, Bai Dage, our sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really not covered. Look at the simple buns, she steamed them to be fragrant."

  Now that you mention it, Bai Wenli was indeed reminded of this. He himself felt that he had eaten more at home during this period, but he didn't think much about it at the time. Today, when his friends mentioned it, he also paid attention to it. Could it be that the well water in their house has turned into spring water?

  Otherwise, everything else can't be explained. Haha, laugh and say, "You guys, eat more if you like it, come over whenever you want to eat in the future, our door is always open for you."

  Li Rui became less polite, "That's it, my sister-in-law and elder sister's cooking is just delicious."

  Geng Mei was delighted to hear someone praising her cooking, she knew her own level and today her husband's friend was being so gracious, she couldn't be stingy.

  "Everyone, if you want to eat something in the future, just come over and your sister-in-law will make it for you."

  Bai Wengui knew that Geng Mei loved to hear this, and speaking from the heart, if it was said that cooking at home had become better than anyone else's.

  "Hey guys, don't be polite, my wife has already spoken up. From now on, just come over and we'll all go together."

  He raised his glass and took a sip with everyone else. As they chatted, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, who can get Snow Lotus?"
