When Xiao Churan heard that grandma had stolen the vegetables from the garden at home, he sighed helplessly and said, "Mom, since it was grandma who picked them, then if she wants to pick them, just let her pick them. It's just some vegetables."
"
Ma Lan blurted out: "That's not what you said. What did your grandma give us? Have you forgotten what she did to our family before? I can't stand it now that you are shamelessly coming to our house to steal food!"
"
Xiao Churan shook his head helplessly: "Don't think so much. Grandma also thinks that our food is very good, so she wants to pick some for a meal. Let's not be so stingy."
Ma Lan said bitterly: "You know how to turn your elbows outward all day long."
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.
However, the more Ma Lan thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was a huge loss. Such a good vegetable, Mrs. Xiao couldn't even let Mrs. Xiao take away a vegetable leaf! Her daughter actually thought it didn't matter! If she allowed the old lady to steal it once, she would
I will steal twice, steal three times, steal a hundred times.
So Ma Lan hurriedly came out of the room and went to the kitchen door. She greeted Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, tell me, I have something to tell you."
Ye Chen nodded and came to the door.
Ma Lan hurriedly whispered: "Ye Chen, mom kindly reminds you that when you prepare such a good vegetable garden for Chu Ran, you must be careful to prevent theft. I have lived with the old lady for so many years. What kind of person is she?
I can’t understand that if you don’t care about her, she will steal everything for you tomorrow.”
In fact, Ye Chen has been in the Xiao family for more than three years and knows everyone in the Xiao family very well.
He knows very well what kind of character each person in the Xiao family has.
In his opinion, in the entire Xiao family, except for his wife Xiao Churan, who is a naturally good person, there is only one Xiao Changkun who can be saved. The others are all rubbish.
This includes Ma Lan and Mrs. Xiao.
Therefore, he also knew very well that if he did not respond, Mrs. Xiao would indeed steal the first time and the second time just like Ma Lan said.
So, he had a plan in mind.
Later, Ye Chen asked Ma Lan: "Do you know what the old lady's favorite dish is?"
Ma Lan thought for a while and said, "If I want to say my favorite thing, it should be leeks! The old lady has never cooked in her life, but if she wants to talk about dumplings with leeks and eggs, she will definitely cook and mix the fillings herself. She likes to eat them the most.
It’s all about leeks!”
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded. He likes to eat leeks, so that's just right.
Then, he walked to a deserted place and called Wang Zhenggang.
As soon as the phone call came through, Wang Zhenggang asked him: "Master Ye, is your wife satisfied with the vegetable garden you made last night?"
"I'm quite satisfied." Ye Chen said, "I called you to ask you to help me with something again."
Wang Zhenggang said hurriedly: "Master Ye, just ask."
Ye Chen said: "Go and find me dozens of pots of the best daffodils, and they have to be ones that are not blooming and have green leaves."
Wang Zhenggang thought for a while and said, "Master Ye, this narcissus is poisonous. If you order less, it will probably be okay. If you order so much, I'm afraid it won't be safe."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I know it's poisonous, but you don't have to worry, just prepare it for me and deliver it to me before the afternoon."
As soon as Wang Zhenggang heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay, Master Ye. I'll do it right away."
…
Mrs. Xiao stole a basket of vegetables from Ye Chen's house. After she returned, Qian Hongyan happened to come too.
So she asked Qian Hongyan: "Did you buy back the meat I asked you to buy?"
Qian Hongyan nodded: "Not only did I buy meat, I also bought a lot of vegetables."
Now Qian Hongyan felt very guilty, so she was ready to please the old lady and her husband. She happened to sell the coffee machine and had some money, so she bought some ribs and pork belly and prepared to come back and cook a sumptuous meal for her family.
meat dishes.
When Mrs. Xiao heard that Qian Hongyan had bought groceries, she immediately said dissatisfied: "Why waste that money on groceries?"
Qian Hongyan asked in surprise: "Mom, we can't just eat meat without vegetables, we need to supplement vitamins."
Mrs. Xiao took her to the kitchen, pointed to the basket of vegetables she had just stolen and said, "Did you see that? These good vegetables were all stolen from Ye Chen's house. Ye Chen's house has a big vegetable garden.
You can reach out and pick it outside the fence. From now on, our family will no longer have to spend money to buy food."
Qian Hongyan then remembered that when she left in the morning, she saw the construction work in full swing at Ye Chen's house.
I saw it myself at the time. Although I was a little surprised, I didn't take it seriously.
She looked carefully at Mrs. Xiao's basket of vegetables and couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, don't tell me, these vegetables look very good, even better than the organic vegetables I bought."
Mrs. Xiao nodded and picked up a green cucumber: "Look at how big and long this cucumber is. Look at the small yellow flowers in front. They are very fresh and very clean. They look like they have just been washed."
Like!"
As she said that, Mrs. Xiao took the cucumber, washed it under the faucet, rubbed it, and then broke it with a little force, and the cucumber broke neatly with a crisp click.
A strong fragrance suddenly hit her nostrils. Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why does this cucumber smell so good!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Mrs. Xiao's face was filled with relief after taking this bite.
Mrs. Xiao chewed the cucumber and said vaguely: "This is really the most delicious cucumber I have ever eaten in my life!"
Xiao Changqian had just walked to the kitchen door when he smelled the fragrance of cucumbers and blurted out: "Oh, it's such a strong fragrance of cucumbers, give me half of it."
The old lady handed half of it to him. Xiao Changqian took it and took a bite. He immediately gave Qian Hongyan a thumbs up: "Honey, where did you buy this cucumber? It's so delicious!"
Qian Hongyan said hurriedly: "I didn't buy this, my mother stole it, oh no, my mother picked it back."
"Picked it back?" Xiao Changqian looked at the old lady in surprise and asked, "Mom, where did you pick the cucumbers?"
Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "Ye Chen has a vegetable patch at home. There are all kinds of vegetables, and they all look great. I just walked by the door and saw it, so I went home and took a basket to pick it."
A basketful."
Xiao Changqian frowned and said, "Is Ye Chen out of his mind? Why are he still planting vegetables in the yard?"
"Who cares?" Old Mrs. Xiao said happily: "Anyway, we don't have to spend money to buy vegetables in the future. We go to Ye Chen's house every day to steal, and we can pick the best and freshest vegetables when we go out!"
Xiao Changqian laughed and said: "Then this is really good! It is not only healthy but also saves money!"
For lunch, Qian Hongyan made several delicious meals using the vegetables the old lady stole from Ye Chen's house.
It was also because this vegetable was so good that everyone in the Xiao family ate it with praise.
Xiao Hailong usually doesn't like to eat vegetables, but today he took the initiative to eat a lot.
Because today’s vegetables are really delicious!
Seeing that all the vegetables on the table were eaten, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that the vegetables produced by Ye Chen's family are so good. In this way, in the afternoon, I will go to their house to pick some. .”
Xiao Hailong asked hurriedly: "Grandma, if Ye Chen finds out that we steal his food, will he come to cause trouble for us?"
Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly: "Let him come to me and cause trouble. If he dares to touch me, I will blackmail him!"
Xiao Changqian smiled and said: "Mom, you still have a way!"
