Chapter 150

150 Luo Cheng’s Thoughts

“I just find it a little strange. The parents only found out now that their daughter hadn’t come home yet. How careless!” Zhao Xiu’s face was filled with disbelief.

For example, when she learned that her daughter and son-in-law might be trapped by the rain, she was still worried even though she knew that they were safe and sound.

Sigh, parents were different from each other!

!!

When Little Huzi heard Zhao Xiu’s words, his expression suddenly became strange.

“Actually, I heard some news!” Little Huzi hesitated for a moment before saying, “When a friend of mine was shitting near the Li family’s house, I heard someone coming to propose marriage. He seemed to be talking about Li Yan. The other party’s family is rich. Not only do they have many fields, but they also have a few shops.”

The group looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

“With such good conditions, why would he want to marry Li Yan?” Li Xiaoqing couldn’t believe it at all. She felt that there must be something fishy.

“I think so too!” When Little Huzi heard Li Xiaoqing’s words, he quickly echoed, “It’s just that this person isn’t from our town. He seems to be from White Foothill City, which is too far away for us to find out about anything!”

“That’s even stranger! Since he’s from White Foothill City, why did he come to our village to marry Li Yan?” Luo Ziyang also felt that something was amiss!

Others couldn’t find out, but Luo Ziyang was different.

After remembering this, Luo Ziyang took the opportunity to spread the news and ask his buddies to investigate this matter.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran still didn’t know what had happened at the foot of the mountain. When the two of them woke up again, the rain had already lightened.

Breakfast was important, so Luo Cheng got some white rice out of a wooden barrel and cooked a pot of porridge.

In addition, Luo Cheng dealt with the pheasant he had hunted yesterday and planned to make roasted chicken to eat.

“It’s too time-consuming to make roasted chicken. I think there’s an extra pot here. Why don’t we cook braised chicken?! I think there’s salt here. It’s better to cook it that way!” Li Xiaoran had a different opinion.

Luo Cheng naturally listened to Li Xiaoran.

“Then what should we do now?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.

“Chop it into pieces first! I’ll cook it later. When I was washing my face outside, I realized that there were many chameleon plants by the waterhole. I’ll get some and eat them as vegetables later!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said with a smile.

“Speaking of which, there’s chili sauce and soy sauce in the stone house. I’ll go find them for you!” Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up when he heard about the chameleon plants.

He had grown up in the capital. For some reason, he had a special fondness for the chameleon plants here.

Ever since he’d first eaten chameleon plants, he’d been fascinated by the taste.

Every time he ate chameleon plants, Luo Cheng would feel happy.

When Li Xiaoran saw that Luo Cheng was very happy, she immediately thought of something.

“Husband, it seems that you also like to eat chameleon plants! It seems that we’re kindred spirits!”

With that, Li Xiaoran spoke excitedly.

“Actually, in addition to chameleon plants, corianders are also very delicious. Mix the chameleon plants with the coriander and the taste will be amazing! Also, wild onions and shallots are delicious no matter how they are cooked!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he became excited.

“I know about wild onions. They’re delicious for stir-frying dried meat! But what’s a shallot?”

Although he had lived in Sichuan for several years, Luo Cheng was still very unfamiliar with some things.

“Just you wait. My father’s buddy has planted a lot at home. When the time comes, we’ll buy a lot. I can make them for you in different ways! I guarantee you won’t forget that taste after you eat it!” Li Xiaoran recalled the taste of the shallot and said.

“Then let’s plant some ourselves!” Luo Cheng said after a moment.

“It’s too late to plant them now. It would have been possible two months earlier, but it’s too late to plant them now! My father actually planted a lot, but they all belong to the Li family now. It won’t be easy for us to get them. When the time comes, let’s go to the village to buy them! We’ll get some seeds to plant them ourselves next year!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Luo Cheng heard that his father-in-law had planted a lot of plants in the Li family, he suddenly had an idea.

Since it was planted by his father-in-law, he naturally couldn’t let the Li family take advantage of it.

When the shallots matured, he would get someone to secretly dig up the shallots planted by his father-in-law.

The more he thought about it, the more Luo Cheng felt that this was a good idea.

Li Xiaoran naturally didn’t know that her man was sometimes a childish person, let alone that he would ask someone to dig for shallots.

But even if she knew, she would probably applaud him!

Luo Cheng had already made up his mind. After he returned, he would quietly ask his father-in-law where the shallots were planted and dig them up during the summer harvest.

“Stop talking. If you say anything else, I’ll drool! Let’s focus on what’s at hand first. Dig out some chameleon plants to satisfy our cravings! Let’s go. I’ll go with you!” Luo Cheng said as he changed into straw shoes and took out a sickle.

Just like that, the couple left the house one after another and went straight to where the chameleon plants had grown.

This was the time when the chameleon plant was the most tender.

In time, they would age substantially.

The two of them just dug with scimitars and sickles. In a short while, they dug a lot.

“Sigh, next time we go up the mountain, bring two small hoes! Not only can we use them to dig out the ears, but we can also start a vegetable field in the valley and plant some vegetables and fruits in the future. The temperature in this valley is higher, so the vegetables and fruits planted won’t freeze to death. When the time comes, they will definitely grow very well!” Li Xiaoran washed the chameleon plants with water from the stream and planned her future with anticipation.

To be honest, she really liked this place too much. If winter was too cold in the future, she could even come up here to winter.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible. If there’s an emergency, this can become our refuge!”

Luo Cheng even wanted to build a few more houses like the stone house. Unfortunately, he had yet to figure out how this stone house was built.

“It’s fine. Take your time! Every time we come up, we do something. Gradually, this place will become our paradise!” Li Xiaoran could feel Luo Cheng’s sudden anxiety and comforted him.

Luo Cheng also realized that he was a little anxious, so he smiled and nodded.
