The source of that voice was none other than Tang Ting's mother, Qiu Liangying.
She was a short woman with long hair neatly tied behind her back.
Wearing a long ginger dress, her eyes are gentle and firm.
One look at it makes you feel good.
"Hello, aunt!"
Upon seeing Qiu Liangying, Liu Ye immediately greeted him obediently.
"You must be Liu Ye! You are so beautiful."
Qiu Liangying walked to Liu Ye with a smile and held her hand.
This is a pair of warm and rough hands, with a sense of grinding.
They don't look like the hands of a rich woman at all.
"Let me tell you, the vegetables in this entire yard were planted by Mother Zhang and I. We started cultivating them from seeds and watched them grow bit by bit. We watered them, weeded them, fertilized them...
We did it ourselves.”
When it comes to her vegetable garden, Qiu Liangying is very proud.
"Auntie, you are so amazing!"
Willow Ye praised her sincerely.
It is indeed not easy to have such a large and lush vegetable garden, with vegetables and fruits growing so densely.
"Haha~~ Look what you like to eat, I will pick it off and make you two dishes!"
After returning from Hong Kong City, Qiu Liangying became keen on growing vegetables.
But in the entire Tang family, except for her husband Tang Qiqing, almost no one supported her.
Her daughters all said that she could develop more elegant hobbies, such as calligraphy and illustration.
However, when she returned to her hometown, Qiu Liangying just wanted to grow vegetables in the yard.
Many years ago, the Tang family was just a poor farmer in Shencheng. At that time, she was growing vegetables in the fields.
For her, growing vegetables is not only a hobby, but also a way for her to miss the past.
Besides, isn’t growing vegetables better than growing flowers?
Although the flowers are beautiful, you can only look at them but not eat them.
Nothing beats these fresh vegetables!
If you want to eat it, you can pick it back at any time and send it to the kitchen immediately.
It was rare to meet someone who understood her so well as Liu Ye, so she decided to share these vegetables with Liu Ye.
"Put a cucumber and steam an eggplant!"
Liuye answered without hesitation, without the slightest trace of embarrassment.
The cucumber hanging on the vine is green and makes people feel comfortable.
The first time she saw it, Liu Ye thought: If it were made into cucumbers, it would definitely be delicious.
There are also those purple eggplants that are thick as arms and still dripping with water.
Steam it and mix it with some chili sesame oil or something. The taste will be absolutely delicious.
"Come on, let's go pick them right now. Pick whichever ones you like."
Liu Ye's cheerful and unobtrusive character endeared her to Qiu Liangying.
Immediately I took her to pick vegetables.
Soon, Liu Ye had four more cucumbers and three eggplants in her hands.
"Auntie, do you have honey at home? Why don't we pick two lemons and make lemon honey water!"
Liu Ye saw the yellow lemon again and couldn't help but ask Qiu Liangying.
"Yes! Go and pick it!"
Qiu Liangying smiled and nodded, indicating that he would pick the willow leaves himself.
Willow Leaf put the cucumbers and eggplants in her arms on the ground, and happily ran to pick lemons.
"Mom, you really like her. You even let her pick your precious vegetables."
Liu Ye walked a little further, and Tang Ting immediately came to Qiu Liangying's side and whispered with a hint of jealousy.
Qiu Liangying doesn't like clothes or jewelry. The only thing she regards as a treasure is the vegetable garden in front of her.
She was much more patient with these vegetables than she was with their daughters.
Normally, they can't get their hands on these vegetables.
Unexpectedly, I saw Willow Ye for the first time today, and my mother asked her to pick vegetables.
"Oh! You don't understand this. It's rare to have a close friend in life. Although I just met her, her ideas coincide with mine. This means that these vegetables are also destined to her. I can share them with her.
Very happy!”
Qiu Liangying answered with a smile, looking at the willow leaves in the distance from time to time.
"Such a beautiful and intelligent little girl, you should bring her to play at home more often!"
"Okay, I will definitely bring her home more often in the future."
Tang Ting never expected that her mother would love Willow Leaf so much.
In a short time, Willow Ye picked five plump yellow lemons.
The unique aroma of lemon made her feel good.
Qiu Liangying, Liu Ye, and Tang Ting approached the Tang family hall together.
"Put all these dishes in the kitchen, and you and Tingting can go play together!"
Qiu Liangying led Liu Ye to the kitchen on the left.
As he spoke, he put on an apron.
"Auntie, do you want to cook by yourself?"
Willow Ye asked in surprise.
This Mrs. Tang does not look like a rich lady at all.
Not only do I have no airs, I also have to cook by myself.
Obviously there are servants at home.
"I'll just make two random dishes for you to try."
Qiu Liangying pointed to the cucumbers and eggplants on the side.
It’s true that she rarely cooks, but today she saw Liu Ye and got interested, so she started cooking two dishes!
"Oh, let's go and don't bother my mother."
Tang Ting stayed impatiently in the kitchen, then left with Liu Ye in her arms.
"Aunt……"
"It's okay, it's okay, you and Tingting can go play on the second floor!"
Liu Ye wanted to explain something, but Qiu Liangying waved his hand indifferently.
"By the way, Tingting, I forgot to tell you, Xiaoyan is here, and she's on the second floor now..."
Tang Ting pulled Liu Ye up the stairs, and Qiu Liangying suddenly remembered that besides Liu Ye, there was also a guest at home today.
She shouted towards the backs of the two of them.
However, Tang Ting and Liu Ye had already walked far away and did not hear these words at all.
…
"Come on, please come in! This is my room."
Arriving on the second floor, Tang Ting took Liu Ye and approached a room on the east side.
The room is particularly spacious. Liu Ye roughly estimates that it is at least seventy or eighty square meters.
It’s comparable to the living area of an ordinary family.
"Tang Ting, should I go visit your dad first?"
There were only two people present, so Liu Ye asked Tang Ting in a low voice.
After all, it was Tang Qiqing who invited her to dinner. It seemed rude not to pay a visit to the host.
"It's okay, my dad is still practicing calligraphy now! He doesn't like anyone to disturb him. You will naturally see him later."
Tang Ting looked up at the clock on the wall and answered nonchalantly.
Tang Qiqing was practicing calligraphy at this time and didn't like others to disturb him.
"Oh, okay!"
Now that Tang Ting said so, Liu Ye felt relieved.
"Miss Fourth, I have your phone number!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
Tang Ting immediately opened the door.
It turned out that it was the maid who received the call from Tang Ting.
"who is it?"
"Say he's a classmate of yours from university."
The maid answered respectfully.
"Liu Ye, I'll come as soon as I go."
When Tang Ting heard this, she immediately guessed who it was.
"Rong Rong, take Liu Ye to the showroom on the third floor to have a look!"
Tang Ting estimated that the phone call would not be short, and worried that Liu Ye would be bored, she asked the maid to take her to the third floor for a walk.
