After the two of them returned to the courtyard, they met Third Aunt head-on.
"Little Feng, Silly Zhu, you're back? I heard that all the workers in your factory ate watermelon and drank green bean soup today?”Third Aunt's house was guarded by the entrance of a large courtyard. She loved to gossip.
"Third Aunt, you're quite well-informed. That's right. This afternoon, all the workers in our factory ate watermelons. It's all thanks to my Brother Li's remarkable abilities that he got so many watermelons for our factory. The watermelon was so sweet. It had black seeds and red flesh. The skin was thin and sandy. It was so sweet that one bite would make one's teeth fall out.”
Silly Zhu didn't like Third Uncle and Third Aunt. This Old Yan and Old Kou weren't good people.
He had always held a grudge against Yan Bugui for accepting his local specialties and not introducing Teacher Ran to him. After that, he even made a false accusation. This was not something a human would do.
In his own words, he would say," As a teacher, he didn't cultivate virtue and was wicked.
This Third Aunt and Third Uncle were on the same side. They usually schemed against the three sons and one daughter so ruthlessly. Silly Zhu could not stand the stinginess of this old couple the most.
He was deliberately saying that to make Third Aunt covet him.
Lin Feng could clearly hear Third Aunt gulping.
Lin Feng chuckled.
Lin Feng also saw Third Uncle waving his fan and looking at them through the window. His old face was dark and gloomy.
Without asking, Lin Feng guessed that it must be Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang who didn't bring back the watermelons from the factory for Yan Laokou. Yan Laokou was sulking.
Silly Zhu wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Yan Bugui and his wife were probably feeling extremely depressed.
Lin Feng and Silly Zhu pushed their bicycles and crossed the front yard to the middle yard.
Qin Huairu was washing vegetables. It was wild horse amaranth.
It was only after the twentieth, and the Qin family was about to run out of money again.
Qin Huairu was helpless. She could only dig some wild vegetables from the factory after work. She could not even afford cabbage now.
After Lin Feng, Silly Zhu, and Qin Huiru greeted each other, Lin Feng pushed the cart towards the backyard.
Shazhu stopped his bicycle and came over.
"Aiyo, Sister Qin, where did you get so many wild vegetables? I often ate horse amaranth when I was young. It's best to wash it, boil it with water, and mix it with oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. Don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you'll get a stomachache.”Silly Zhu joked with Qin Huiru.
"It's none of your business. Just watch our family's fun.”
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. Suddenly, she saw the two lunch boxes in his net bag and immediately reached out to snatch them.
"Sigh, Sister, why are you like this again? I only made some leftovers today for our rainwater. Please show mercy…"
Before Silly Zhu could finish, Qin Huiru carried the wild vegetables and lunch box back to her room.
"Alright, it seems that we siblings are going to eat cornbread and salted vegetables again tonight.”
Silly Zhu frowned and shrugged.
Lin Feng had advised him more than once to harden his heart and ignore Qin Huiru.
However, the moment Silly Zhu touched Qin Huiru, he was immediately defeated by her.
Lin Feng looked on coldly. Seeing this scene, he felt that he had to personally find a wife for Zhu Zi.
A few days ago, Lin Feng accompanied Yu Haitang and her father to the infirmary to treat the old man. He saw a new nurse. She was smart, capable, agile, and pretty.
Lin Feng asked around and found out that the nurse was called Liu Li. She had taken over her mother's shift and was working in the factory's infirmary.
Lin Feng decided that he would find some time in the next few days to talk to Dr. Wang about this.
Dr. Wang was the female doctor in the factory's infirmary. Qin Huiru often asked her to buy painkillers for Old Madam Zhang. She was now very close to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had accompanied Yu Haitang and her father to see Dr. Wang more than once.
In Doctor Wang's eyes, Lin Feng was the son-in-law of the Yu family, the future model husband.
Besides, Lin Feng didn't go empty-handed every time he went. He brought some eggs and fresh vegetables for Dr. Wang.
At first, Dr. Wang was embarrassed to accept it, but later on, she got used to the small gifts from Lin Feng. She even helped her friends exchange money for bills from Lin Feng.
This matter had to be handled quickly. When Zhu Zi had a wife in the future, with his wife spoiling him, let's see how Widow Qin would exploit Zhu Zi.
Lin Feng returned to the old lady's room in the backyard. The old lady had been waiting for him for a long time.
"My good grandson, you're back." The old lady was all smiles. Waiting for her grandson to get off work every day had become a part of her life.
"Grandma, I'm back. Look what I brought back for you.”
Lin Feng opened the four lunchboxes one by one, revealing the watermelon, steamed buns, and green bean soup inside.
"This is…watermelon! Good heavens, this melon pulp is so red. Where did you get it?”The old lady was pleasantly surprised.
As the saying goes, old children, old children. She liked Lin Feng bringing her things every night. He would surprise her every time, and this time was no exception.
"I bought it from our factory canteen. Other than watermelon, there's also mung bean soup.”
"Grandma, you're old. Eat a piece of watermelon at room temperature. The green bean soup is cold. I'll heat it up for you.”
"The watermelons in this lunchbox were bought by Zhu Zi for Yu Shui to satisfy her craving. I told Zhu Zi to make iced watermelons for the siblings.”
"Grandma, you eat the watermelon first. I'll go outside and fiddle with it.”
Lin Feng used a kitchen knife to cut the watermelon he had bought for the old lady into small pieces for her to eat.
The old lady took a bite. It was so sweet that it reached her heart. She repeatedly said that it was delicious.
Lin Feng held the bucket in one hand and Silly Zhu's lunch box in the other as he came to the outer room.
He really did have ice cubes stored in the System Space. He had collected them during winter and placed them in the System Space. They did not melt at all.
During the new year, Lin Feng planned to store some ice cubes in the system space so that he could use the remaining ice cubes to chill watermelons next year.
Well, it came in handy today.
Lin Feng placed the two pieces of watermelon into the bucket and added some ice cubes into it before starting to cook.
The meal was ready and the siblings were here.
"Brother Li, I heard from my brother that you made iced watermelons?”
He Yushui rushed into the house, and Shazhu followed behind him, wearing a singlet and waving a fan.
"The iced watermelons are ready. They're in the bucket against the wall.”
Lin Feng placed a plate of stewed meat with cabbage on the dining table and greeted the siblings with a smile.
The siblings walked over to take a look and were stunned.
