The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

After packing their luggage, the brother and sister hired a moving company early the next morning. The company carried the two of them, their cat, and all their belongings back to their home in the villa area.

Now that she's taken a leave of absence from school, there's no need to live in the noisy food street anymore. The villa area is quieter and has a better environment. Although it lacks the hustle and bustle, it's more suitable for Xu Xi's pregnancy and rest.

In addition, Zhao Lin, the expectant mother, lives right next door. The two pregnant girls living close by can look after each other.

When the truck arrived at the villa area, Qi Yu was wearing a straw raincoat and holding a watering can, bending over to water the vegetables in his yard in front of his house.

"No, buddy," Xu Nian got out of the car and went straight to Qi Yu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help but tease, "Sir, what a refined taste you have! Living a secluded life in the world, cultivating the fields, perhaps hoping to grow a place where 'the fragrance of rice blossoms heralds a bountiful harvest, and the chorus of frogs fills the air'?"

Qi Yu straightened up, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and smiled slightly: "Why exaggerate? Didn't you see how I've planted beans south of the mountain, only to find the weeds are lush and the bean sprouts sparse?"

"Then what are you huffing and puffing about here? This isn't the mountains. You can order groceries online and have them delivered to your door in an hour," Xu Nian muttered, puzzled, glancing at Qi Yu's vegetable garden.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, green peppers, cabbage, potatoes... In addition to vegetables, there are also pear trees and apple trees, which look very diverse and colorful, and are indeed pleasing to the eye.

Qi Yu took off his gloves, patted off the dirt, and chuckled softly, "Buying groceries is indeed convenient, but I'm used to being busy. Now that I'm no longer teaching in rural areas, I feel a bit out of sorts when I have free time, and I always want to find something to do. That's why I've started growing vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian couldn't help but chuckle.

He is also a restless person. Even though he is already very wealthy, if he were to do nothing all day and only indulge in pleasure, he would probably feel like ants were crawling all over his body.

Thinking about this, he seemed to understand Qi Yu's behavior.

Qi Yu picked a tomato, washed it under the tap in the yard, and tossed it to Xu Nian: "Brother Xu, try the vegetables I grew."

Xu Nian took the tomato without hesitation, looked at the plump, brightly colored tomato in her hand, and immediately felt a surge of appetite. Without much hesitation, she took a bite.

The moment it enters your mouth, a refreshing sweetness melts in your mouth, the juice is plentiful, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Wow!" Xu Nian exclaimed in amazement, "You're really good at growing vegetables!"

"Of course!" Qi Yu grinned, beaming with pride. "Most importantly, vegetables grown by ourselves are pesticide-free, without any random ripening agents or hormones, so we can eat them with peace of mind. Especially now that Arlene is pregnant, eating organic vegetables we grow ourselves is even healthier."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Nian raised an eyebrow, and was secretly tempted.

So, Xu Xi is currently pregnant, and if we want her to eat safe and healthy vegetables, it seems that I also need to pick up a hoe and go to the field to grow vegetables.

He glanced at his villa; there was a vacant lot in the yard, which was usually used to store miscellaneous items.

If you clear them out and use them to grow vegetables, that would be a good idea.

So, in this villa district where land is incredibly valuable and individual houses are worth hundreds of millions of yuan, nearby residents were surprised to find that in the yards in front of two villas, fruits and vegetables that cost less than a few yuan per kilogram were being grown.

That wasn't all. Since the yard was too small to meet the needs of Xu Nian and Qi Yu growing vegetables, Xu Xi simply hired a construction team to demolish a villa across the road and transform the entire yard into a vegetable garden, allowing the two men to let loose and enjoy themselves.

Such extravagant and inhumane behavior has truly made the other residents in the community green with envy.

A few days later, the vacant courtyard next to the Xu family villa also welcomed its owner.

A black minivan pulled up in front of the door, and a stunningly beautiful woman stepped out of the car.

She was dressed in a professional black suit and wore a pair of dark sunglasses, looking very cool and stylish.

Xu Xi and Zhao Lin, who had been waiting there, recognized the newcomers and happily rushed to greet them.

"Wen Yao, it's been a long time."

"Linlin, you too, I missed you so much." Wen Yao took off her sunglasses, her cold and aloof temperament instantly vanished, and a bright smile appeared on her face as she reached out and hugged Zhao Lin.

"To be honest, I've been back in Yuncheng for a month, and this is the first time I've met you in person."

"I can't help it, I've been too busy lately." At this point, Wen Yao glared reproachfully at Xu Xi beside her: "It's all because of that irresponsible boss who's just washing his hands of things. He's having a good time, but he's almost ruined me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi chuckled and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Yaoyao, you've finally moved in with us. If you hadn't come, I was going to tear this house down and use it to grow vegetables for my brother."

Wen Yao looked up, glanced at Xu Nian and Qi Yu who were busy in the vegetable garden not far away, and smiled faintly: "The five of us have finally gotten together. It's really not easy."

"Oh, right," Zhao Lin suddenly remembered something, "why hasn't your husband moved in with you?"

"Hey, don't even mention him." Wen Yao pouted, looking resentful. "He's gone abroad for a competition again. This time he went to Europe. He might not be back for another six months."

"Wow, Yao Yao, you're so pitiful," Xu Xi said with a touch of heartache. "The north wind blows, the autumn wind is chilly, and whose Yao Yao is left alone in her empty room?"

Wen Yao sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. He's gone to win glory for the country. We girls can't help him, so we can only try not to cause him any trouble."

After saying that, she rubbed her belly and smiled happily: "But his return this time has given me something to look forward to~"

Upon hearing this, both Xu Xi and Zhao Lin showed expressions of shock.

"Yaoyao, you're pregnant too?"

Wen Yao smiled faintly and nodded shyly.

Zhao Lin covered her mouth, looking incredulous: "My God! This is too much of a coincidence! Your husband is like a migratory bird, we only see each other two or three times a year, and yet you're pregnant so quickly."

Xu Xi's beautiful eyes darted around slightly. She tiptoed, leaned close to Zhao Lin's ear, and smiled comically, "If you don't have enough time, make up for it with more repetitions. Don't forget, Yao Yao did it twenty times in one night..."

"Ugh, you wretched Xi Bao! Forget about it right now!" Wen Yao was furious upon hearing this. She reached out and pinched Xu Xi's little face, shaking her head angrily, trying to shake this embarrassing thing out of her mind.

"Hehehe, no no no~" Xu Xi made a face, then slyly hid behind Zhao Lin.

"Ahhh, Xi Bao, I want you, you mouse!!"

"Waaaaah, Linlin, protect me!"

Xu Nian, who was watering vegetables in the distance, looked up and saw three girls playing "Eagle Catches Chicks," and couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Xu, stop staring blankly, you've soaked the vegetables!"

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"
