It was rare for city dwellers to come to the countryside like them, and they would just nod and say a word when they met.
Li Meijuan took the initiative to come over and say hello, which stunned everyone.
A little cold.
Li Meijuan was not embarrassed. She walked into Huazhao's house with a plastic bag, stood with everyone, and said with a smile: "I'm here to visit, what are you talking about?"
"Everyone is talking about planting fruit trees." Hua Zhao, as the host, greeted.
"It's great to have a big yard. You can plant whatever you want and eat what you want without having to go to the city to buy it. Unlike me, it's very difficult to go to the city. I get carsick and have to drive in reverse. It's hard to go there once."
I can lose half my life." Li Meijuan exaggerated.
"Look at what you said, it's not that serious. I think you are the one who goes to the city most often in this compound. I can meet you every time I go. It seems that everything is fine." Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile.
The others laughed and said nothing, but it could be seen from their faces that they agreed with Sister-in-law Wang's words.
Li Meijuan doesn't work, but she goes to the city as often as she does work, four or five times a week!
Occasionally they would run into her when they entered the city.
I heard that she went to the city just to buy food.
Everyone turned their attention to the plastic bag in Li Meijuan's hand, which contained three small apples.
Where can I eat here?
Hua Zhao looked at the sisters-in-law in the yard and couldn't let them stand all the time. He quickly asked everyone to sit down at the table in the yard.
She went into the house to prepare tea and told Ye Shen that while he was free these two days, she might as well build a pergola in the yard so that adults and children would have a place to enjoy the shade in the summer.
You don’t have to come into the house to have a guest...
As a descendant, she doesn't like strangers in her home, not even people with a normal relationship.
Hua Zhao came out with scented tea and a fruit plate, greeting everyone to be welcome.
Li Meijuan couldn't help herself when she saw the tender and pink peaches in the fruit plate. She picked one up and ate it without any politeness. She was immediately sprayed with juice.
"So sweet!" she said in surprise: "Where did you buy the peaches?"
"It's on my tree." Hua Zhao said with a smile.
Others are very reserved, but they just can't get started.
Hua Zhao gave way and gave way again and again, pushing the fruit into their hands before they took it.
Li Meijuan had already finished a peach and went to eat a red apple.
"So crispy and sweet!" She said in surprise: "Isn't this also grown at your home?"
"It's true." Hua Zhao smiled.
Li Meijuan said while eating: "Do you sell this fruit at home? Let me order some! I am pregnant, so I like to eat some fruit, but unfortunately they are not sold outside! You can tell me how much it costs per pound!"
How could Hua Zhao dare to say selling? She sold the fruit from her own tree to an acquaintance for 80 cents. She was obsessed with money.
Selling to strangers... she dares to go out and sell things? I'll give her a beating!
Li Meijuan would not understand this point of human nature. When she said she wanted to buy it, she was just being polite. She just wanted it.
Hua Zhao complained crazily in his heart, Su Yue left and Meijuan came.
But there is nothing worthy of sympathy for Li Meijuan. She is pregnant? She is also a pregnant woman!
"You said it's too late. In this season, the fruit gardens are closed. I brought the last bits from the house, and they are all here." Hua Zhao pointed to the fruit plate.
Of course it's fake, there are plenty of them in the house for her and the baby to eat.
Sister-in-law Wang also knew because she saw Hua Zhao carrying bag after bag of fruits into the house. He carried them several times and there were too many. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted the bag given to her.
But she ate the apple and said nothing.
Hua Zhao is not a bad person, she is quite happy.
Li Meijuan was not happy. Forget about the peaches and pears. Now is the season for apples, so why not leave the garden?
"My apple garden closed early, and I don't know what happened." Hua Zhao said strangely.
That little expression was confusing and irritating.
Everyone has kind of noticed that maybe she just doesn't want to give it.
Even if Hua Zhao doesn't want to give it, he can't. The compound is so big, there are so many people, and he can't sell it. If he gives it, it's not good to give it to this person but not that one.
She gave it to Sister-in-law Wang because she had fed her chickens for so many days. She thanked her and no one could say anything.
She will not give it to the remaining neighbors around her. She can just come to them and let them have a taste. She will not give it to them again.
Otherwise, if she sends the ones here instead of the ones upstairs, she will be divided into factions.
And it’s not good for Sister-in-law Wang either.
Are there the same treatment for those who work and those who don’t work? They won’t help her next time.
Li Meijuan bit into the apple without making a sound.
Originally, she brought three apples to the door, intending to give them to Hua Zhao and ask her to take her into the city tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, there was no shortage of fruit. Her own apples were big and sweet, but she was embarrassed when she took out these three small apples.
And seeing how stingy Hua Zhao is, he won’t take her into the city!
Li Meijuan just sat there eating and eating, and she didn't say a word to anyone who talked to her after that.
When she finished eating, the plate was empty, and everyone had finished chatting awkwardly, she patted her butt and left.
"Oh my god, why is she such a person?" Sister-in-law Wang muttered in a low voice, with a look of surprise on her face.
She had never had close contact with Li Meijuan in the past, so she really didn't know.
"How can she be so embarrassed when she just sits there and eats and drinks without raising her head or eyes?" other sisters-in-law also murmured.
Everyone complained for a while, and then agreed to let Sister-in-law Wang have full authority to buy fruit trees on her behalf tomorrow, and then dispersed.
Hua Zhao and Ye Shen worked hard all day, tidying up the ground, and building the pavilion, slide, and swings in the yard.
The wood was leftover from the original construction of the family's yard and was piled in the vacant house.
The construction was done by a few engineers that Ye Shen hired during his off-duty hours. They knew how to do everything, and it was nothing short of trivial.
After finishing the work, Hua Zhao cooked a table of delicious dishes to entertain them.
Now Hua Zhao's reputation for good craftsmanship could no longer be hidden. Several people went back and spread the word. When everyone talked about Ye Shen, their eyes were either red or green.
His wife is so beautiful, his children are so cute, and his craftsmanship is so good, so why does he have to do all the good things!
Ye Shen also felt extremely satisfied, but when he thought of the upcoming task, he was instantly overwhelmed by guilt.
"What's going on with you recently? You're very absent-minded right now." Hua Zhao drew circles on his chest with his fingers.
She decided that if he didn't tell her, she would take action against him!
Ye Shen saw the anxiety in her eyes, his eyes wavered a little, and finally spoke.
