Happy Shennong

Chapter 22 The Almighty Vegetable

Liu Jianguo looked at the radish that was not much thinner than his own arm, and was a little dazed: "Xiao Lei, are you sure this is not a bleached winter melon?"

"Uncle Liu, if it's fake, it's actually not the biggest." Linley explained with a smile, "This is a new type of white radish that I grew myself, including cucumbers and tomatoes, which can be eaten directly as fruits. It's not me. Boasting, the taste is guaranteed to be no worse than the 'airported' bananas."

He Xiaowei laughed back angrily: "Haha, I am so ridiculous. I have lived for more than 20 years. I have seen braggarts, but I have never seen one who brags so outrageously. I am not afraid to flash my tongue! Linley, according to what you said, your vegetables , is simply omnipotent, not only can it be eaten as a fruit against common sense, but also has various medicinal effects, so it’s just short of prolonging life and immortality, right?”

"Huh... prolong life? Immortality?" Linley tilted his head, touched his temples, his eyeballs rolled around a few times, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Thank you for providing me with a new way of thinking. Maybe, maybe I can really grow this kind of heaven-defying vegetables."

"Blow it, keep blowing it. The old cows in the village are all blown up by you!"

Because He Xiaowei came with an extremely strong and inevitable purpose, and Aunt Wang had repeatedly instructed him, so even though he couldn't understand Lin Lei's words and deeds, he still endured it for so long.

But now, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Not only because he felt that Linley's bragging was too outrageous, and if he didn't stop it, the situation might become uncontrollable.More importantly, he finally realized that Linley would ruin his good deeds just like last time.

Moreover, unlike last time's blundering, Linley had planned and determined to fight him this time.

According to Aunt Wang's strategy, Liu Jianguo, the key person who decided the success or failure of his marriage proposal, did not dislike Linley's bragging, and seemed to have a good impression of him.

Therefore, he made up his mind that he must drive Linley away.Otherwise, he has no hope at all.

Linley still didn't know that he was regarded as a thorn in the side by He Xiaowei.

Regarding the low-level sarcasm, Linley just shrank his neck: "The world is full of wonders, except for fools with short knowledge and low IQ, who can guarantee that things that they have never seen must not exist?"

"Don't play tricks. You think it's easy to cheat because we don't read enough books, right? Huh, you're too naive. I've given you a chance to continue bragging about what you haven't finished. Since you don't know how to cherish it, then Get out of here quickly. Except for you, everyone here is a kind person, and no one wants to listen to your nonsense!"

Without any winks from He Xiaowei, Aunt Wang also chimed in: "Xiao Lei, Auntie has lived half her life, what kind of vegetables have you never seen before? Take white radish as an example, if you don't remove the spicy taste, you can never eat it as a fruit. Fortunately All of you here are acquaintances, otherwise you would have been kicked out of the nonsense you said. Listen to my aunt, it’s almost enough. We do have something to talk about today, and I will hear you bragging when I have a chance another day, okay? "

"Bragging?" Linley smiled faintly, "Auntie, if you think about it carefully, who is bragging right now? Well, let's take a step back and say, even if I'm bragging, I'm just imitating cats and dogs."

Aunt Wang blushed, knowing that Linley had decided that the bananas were not "airlifted".But Linley's words were impeccable, and she, who was always eloquent, was at a loss for words.

"its not right……"

Liu Jianguo, who cut a small piece of radish with a fruit knife and tasted it, suddenly changed his face: "Xiao Lei, why is your radish not spicy, but also has a faint sweet taste? No... there is still a trace of it. It's spicy, but it's just right, and it doesn't feel hard to swallow at all, this...is this still a radish? Why is it so delicious?"

Linley just smiled, looked at Aunt Wang and He Xiaowei, and did not speak.

But at this moment, silence speaks louder than words, Aunt Wang and He Xiaowei's faces were hot.

He Xiaowei was not willing to be slapped in the face like this, so he also cut a small piece of radish and fed it into his mouth.After chewing for a few times, his expression darkened, he looked at Linley in horror, and then at Aunt Wang.

"What's wrong? Is it so scary? I don't believe in that evil anymore!"

Aunt Wang also ate a piece, chewed it a few times, and was stunned: "This...this...how is it possible?"

Linley ignored them and looked at Liu Jianguo: "Uncle Liu, you tasted cucumbers and radishes. Believe me, I'm not bragging, right? Tomatoes actually taste pretty good too."

"Believe it, I believe it!" Facts speak louder than words, Liu Jianguo's unspoken and unexpressed doubts were completely dispelled, and he nodded again and again.

Aunt Wang and He Xiaowei also tasted cucumbers and even tomatoes one after another.

As a result, the two stared at each other.A few minutes ago, he was brazen and insisted that Linley was bragging, but now he is speechless.

Linley lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely, without looking at anyone, he said to himself, "I've seen the face-slapping scene before. But it's the first time I've seen myself being slapped in the face."

Aunt Wang and He Xiaowei were speechless in embarrassment, they just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Liu Jianguo didn't mean to help them find the steps, so he got up straight away: "You guys talk first, I'll go to Zhang Luo for dinner. Xiao Lei has been back for a few days and hasn't come over for dinner yet. Big sister, you are also busy, so it's rare to come here Let’s go out. Don’t leave, let’s have a few drinks in a while.”

"No, Brother Liu, we already had dinner before we came." Aunt Wang got up quickly and held Liu Jianguo back.

Her mind is bright, and it can be heard that Liu Jianguo is not so much keeping guests, but seeing them off.

Although the purpose of their trip has not been stated yet, they can all be seen.Now that the episode was over, and it was time to get down to business, Liu Jianguo not only wanted to leave with an excuse, but even ignored the protagonist He Xiaowei when Lin Lei, an "outsider", was deliberately mentioned.

They were already embarrassed, but in this situation, how could they have the nerve to stay for dinner?
Aunt Wang's only thought at this moment is: No matter whether it is successful or not, just say what should be said as soon as possible, and do your duty.It is a pity that He Xiaowei may not be able to get the big red envelope promised by He Xiaowei...

Without any explanation, she pushed Liu Jianguo back to his original position and sat down, squeezing out a smile: "Brother Liu, seeing that you're busy too, I won't go around in circles. I'm here today to ask about Xuanxuan's marriage. Have you got your eyebrows?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, big sister." Liu Jianguo replied, "Not yet."

"Xuanxuan is 24, right? Are you still in a hurry? It's strange to say that in the past, the more outstanding people were, the earlier they got married, but now it's the other way around. Look at the village now, such outstanding people as Xuanxuan and Xiaowei young people, none of them are married yet, and they don’t even have a partner.”

"Ahem..." Liu Jianguo seemed to be choked by Aunt Wang's words, looked at He Xiaowei intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because the times are different. I don't know about others, but Xuan Xuan I know best about her temperament. If she doesn't meet the right one, she won't be able to let go. "

Liu Jianguo was also very smart. He vetoed what Aunt Wang was about to say in advance, without giving him a chance.

Sure enough, Aunt Wang's belly draft was useless, and she hesitated for a few seconds before reorganizing her words: "Brother Liu, Xuanxuan is stubborn, you have to worry about her as a father, you can't Understand the important events in the child's life. I think Xuanxuan and Xiaowei are about the same age, and the two of you are well-matched. The two children are also very outstanding. If they get together..."

Finally got to the point, the haze in He Xiaowei's heart was swept away, he straightened his chest, kept smiling, and looked at Liu Jianguo expectantly.

And Liu Jianguo interrupted Aunt Wang's words with a wave of his hand: "Big sister, since you have made everything clear, let me just say it straight. Xuanxuan is a sensible child, and I also trust her vision, so the marriage is still up to her." It's up to me. As a father, I just need to help him check, and I will never force her to accept someone she doesn't want to accept."

"Brother Liu, isn't this bad? As the old saying goes, marriage is about the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. You..."

"Big sister, I appreciate your kindness, and I thank you for Xuanxuan. But it's settled like this."

Just at this time, a few guests came to the store to stay, but Xuanxuan was not there. After Liu Jianguo finished speaking, he got up and went to the front desk to greet the guests.

Aunt Wang frowned, ready to take the opportunity to leave.But He Xiaowei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he gave her almost begging eyes, and held her hand tightly.

It seemed that she couldn't leave for a while, so she could only think about how to persuade Liu Jianguo.

As a result, after Liu Jianguo registered, he took the guests upstairs and did not come down for a long time.

"Hey……"

Aunt Wang lost her patience and sighed, "Xiaowei, let's go back first."

"Farewell, Aunt Wang, I haven't finished talking yet." He Xiaowei prepared a draft before coming, and when the right time came, he expressed his vision for the future and his determination to pursue Liu Yuxuan to Liu Jianguo.Now that he didn't say a single serious word, how could he just leave?

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance. The marriage is a big deal, so there's no rush." ​​But Aunt Wang made up her mind, she pushed He Xiaowei's hand away, got up and left.

"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang..."

He Xiaowei got up quickly, but still couldn't stop Aunt Wang.He was like an eggplant beaten by frost, sluggish.

When he saw Lin Lei smoking a cigarette, he suddenly regained his energy. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He said, "My surname is Lin, you've been doing bad things to me again and again. I will never let you go. What the hell are you waiting for?" Let's go! Humph!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Without raising his eyelids, Linley snuffed out his cigarette, cut a piece of cucumber, and ate it contentedly: "Everyone is gone, come out."

"How did you know I was here?"

The next second, Liu Yuxuan came out from the back room and asked suspiciously.

Linley looked at her thighs, then picked up a piece of cucumber and said, "Although you hid it well, your white thighs were still a little bit exposed. Just that little bit almost blinded me. Hehe, you're welcome. Come and sit down, just like at home, first eat the root to confirm your love... Oh no, it's a new type of cucumber."

"roll!"
