Chapter 944: The selfish and vain female supporting role (40)
Every time guests come, Xu Yin's family always goes to the new house to open a fire.
Whether you warm the pot or warm the home in advance, or clean it after eating, it can add a bit of popularity to the new home.
But if you stay here for a long time, I’m worried that the smell hasn’t dissipated yet. It doesn’t matter if you have a meal once in a while.
The windows on all sides are open, and potted plants such as spider plants, pothos, and tiger tail plants can be seen everywhere in the living room, hallways, stairs, and rooms.
It is said that this kind of green plants are very effective in removing formaldehyde.
Xu Yin brought out several pots. If she didn't have enough, she went to the flower and bird market and took a cart.
It can be said that her home is like a mini forest when you walk in now.
Chlorophytes and ivy hang at high places, pothos and tiger tail orchids are placed at lower places, and there are two rubber trees half as tall as a man at the entrance of the stairs.
Throw a cloud of spiritual mist to them the next day. Not only are they not wilted by the smell of new furniture, but they are lush and green.
Jiang Yanqun said enviously: "Yin Yin, I heard from my sister-in-law that you raise all the flowers and plants in the house? You are so amazing! I can't do it anymore. Everything I raise dies very quickly. Even the cactus dies. Your brother-in-law said I’m a plant killer.”
"If Auntie likes it, pick out a few pots. These are easy to grow and don't need to be taken care of. If you are worried, I will prepare a pot of nutrient solution for you and spray it every other day. It will keep it strong and healthy."
“Nutrient solution? I bought it before, but I didn’t buy it again after I used it. The flowers and plants died within a few days. Is it okay to keep using it?”
"It doesn't matter, I mixed it myself." Xu Yin said, "One bottle can last for about half a month. When you use it up, you bring the empty bottle back and I will mix it for you."
In fact, it’s just mountain stream water added with some flower and plant nutrient solution, and soaked with a bit of spiritual mist.
But for ordinary potted plants, such a small amount of spiritual mist is enough for them to absorb, but a high concentration would be too unnatural.
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yanqun happily went to pick out potted plants.
She asked for a pot of Chlorophytum and planned to put it on the standing air conditioner like Xu Yin's house. She also picked a pot of Sansevieria to put on the bay window of the living room.
Xu’s mother was led by her daughter to take the medicine and hurried to the kitchen to cook. After Jiang Yanqun picked out the green plants, she followed them to start.
Xu’s father still had some unfinished work at hand, so he went to the backyard again as soon as he got home.
Xu Mingrui went over to see if there was anything he could do to help.
It turned out that there was no way to help even if I wanted to, so I just squatted next to him and chatted with him.
“Brother, I heard from Yan Qun that Yin Yin has taken over the entire open space at the back, but what can be grown on such a barren land?”
“She said to grow watermelons. It is said that mountain watermelons are suitable for such soil. The contract fee is not expensive anyway, so let her try it.”
This piece of land is not bad, it is a long strip, no smaller than his cherry orchard. If we can really grow watermelons, we can earn back the 70 years of contract fees in one year.
“Yin Yin is so capable now.” Xu Mingrui sighed, “It’s different to study in a big city.”
Xu Yin came to the backyard utility room to look for tools. When she heard her uncle's words, she couldn't help but twitch her lips: Don't doubt it, you are right!
Xu Mingrui’s family had a sumptuous lunch and prepared to go home with the large and small bags packed by Xu’s father and Xu’s mother.
“Brothers and sisters-in-law, since you have a physical examination tomorrow, why don’t you come with us today? We can fit in the crowded house, which will save you from having to rush into the city early tomorrow. Fasting for too long is not good for your health.”
“Yeah, it’s closer from my house to the Third Courtyard than here.”
The uncle and aunt sincerely invited her, but Xu Yin thought it was more convenient to stay at her own home. Anyway, she had a car and there were no people on the road in the morning. She stepped on the accelerator and arrived in half an hour.
Xu's father and Xu's mother will definitely go with their daughter. If Xu Yin doesn't want to go, they will be happy.
After seeing off his younger brother and his family, the couple went back to making arrangements in the backyard.
Xu Yin took a kettle and went to the mountain to continue grafting the cherry tree.
Jiang Yanqun was sitting in the passenger seat. She looked back at her son who was contentedly snoring and sleeping in the child safety seat in the back seat. She arched her eyebrows and sighed in a low voice:
“Yin Yin gave Hao Hao all the eggs she had saved at home. She also said that she would raise more chickens next year and planned to raise some geese. She packed the eggs that Hao Hao ate.”
“She has indeed become more sensible.” Xu Mingrui turned the steering wheel and said while paying attention to the road conditions. “In our big family, they are the only two children in total. The relationship between cousins has been cultivated since childhood, and they will be no different from real siblings in the future.”
“I have to say that I was not very happy for Hao Hao to be close to Yin Yin before, but Yin Yin was not very close to Hao Hao before. It’s so good now.”
Jiang Yanqun leaned back in her chair, squinting and recalling her niece's decisiveness when she was arguing with Wang Cuihua at the door of the village committee in the morning. She smiled and continued: "Yin Yin is actually quite smart. By the way, do you know how she learned to graft? ? She actually taught herself by reading books, and then followed the online videos to practice. I think she is very confident. If she succeeds, we will have cherries to eat next June."
When he got home, his son was still awake, so Xu Mingrui had to let his son lie on his shoulders. He held the baby with one hand, leaving the other hand free to carry eggs. His wife also had to carry several large bags of fruits and vegetables.
“Oh, why did you bring so many things?”
Mrs. Jiang was sitting on a wooden bench in the small square downstairs, chatting with the old ladies taking care of their children. When she saw her daughter and her family coming back, she quickly came to help.
Taking a big bag, he looked down and saw fresh vegetables with mud on their roots. His smile deepened a few degrees and he said politely:
“Did your eldest brother and sister-in-law give it to you again? After they built the new house, didn’t they clear out the vegetable patch? The newly planted vegetables shouldn’t be ready for eating yet, right?”
Jiang Yanqun explained with a smile: "My sister-in-law said that we need to buy some to eat in the city, and it's not always fresh, so she took me to a neighbor's house to pick them. Their neighbors were also very polite, saying that these vegetables will be cooked together even if they are not eaten. Let me pick it from the ground."
“Then these eggs…”
"This is born from my sister-in-law's own chickens. She has saved it since the day she was raised, and Yin Yin has asked me to bring it here. She also said she would pick it up when there are no more. Starting next year, my sister-in-law's family will raise more chickens for us. If you want to eat chicken, go to her house to catch it."
Mrs. Jiang smiled from ear to ear: "You can catch them, but the money must be according to the market price. If you can buy authentic domestic chickens, you have already taken advantage."
"I know this."
While talking, the family entered the unit building carrying large and small bags.
Leaving behind a group of old ladies with children, they sighed with envy: Why don’t they have such polite relatives in the countryside?
