Yang Cheng's expression became very conflicted. He touched his face and couldn't help but laugh.
When Yang Cheng saw Lin Ruoxi pout, he smiled and said, "It's not that we don't have anything to eat, it's because Mother Wang washed away the thorns first. Otherwise, would she have left it for you to eat?"
Lin Ruoxi immediately understood and threw the cucumber into Yang Cheng's arms with a blushing face, "What are you laughing at!" I've never seen a live cucumber before, and I don't even make cucumbers at home, so how would I know it has thorns! "
"A 'live' cucumber …" Tsk tsk, darling Ruoxi, do you know what your problem is? "Yang Cheng said mysteriously.
"What problem …" Lin Ruoxi was suspicious.
"This is called the princess disease. You're used to eating the food of the mortal world. You don't even know what a cucumber looks like." Yang Cheng laughed evilly.
"You … You're the princess! I've never seen a cucumber that's grown before! "
Lin Ruoxi glared at him angrily and ran off to look at the other vegetables.
Yang Cheng smiled evilly and rubbed his chin. Looking at the cucumber in his hand, he sighed with emotion. This woman didn't even know what a cucumber looked like. It seemed that she had indeed lived a very "pure and simple" life for the past twenty years.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this kind of crooked thought out loud.
At this moment, Yang Gongming, who had followed him into the vegetable garden, let out a loud "Aiya!"
To be able to make this old man shout so nervously, Yang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head to look.
He saw Yang Gongming standing beside a vegetable field with a pained expression. He squatted down and fiddled with a pile of white radishes that had been pulled out from the ground!
"Who pulled this up!?" How could he pull out so many radishes! This is a waste!
"When Lin Ruoxi, who had just run to the side of the eggplant, heard this, her face turned pale. She lowered her head and walked to the side, as if she was a child who had made a big mistake.
"Grandfather …" I was the one who pulled it out … "Lin Ruoxi said faintly.
Yang Gongming no longer had his usual gentle and calm demeanor. He picked up the radishes in his hands and stared at the seven or eight radishes on the ground, asking, "Who told you to pull out so many radishes!? The vegetables that you eat every day are all harvested by the kitchen people. If you pull them out and can't eat them, it will be a waste! This is all my hard work! "
Lin Ruoxi's eyes reddened. She didn't expect him to be so angry just because she plucked some carrots.
"I … This is the first time I've seen a radish like this. I wanted to pull it out … After I pulled one out, I realized that there was a large part of it in the mud. I wondered if every one of them was very big, so I pulled a few more.
"I didn't say." When I heard this, I was, I, Ruoxi, I, and Lin. "Lin, I, I, I, I," t ","
This answer made Yang Gongming feel like a deflated balloon. He couldn't get angry even if he wanted to!
"You … Why are you …"
Guo Xuehua and Yan Sanniang giggled, especially Guo Xuehua, who laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
Yang Chen tried his best not to laugh. He walked up to Lin Ruoxi and hugged her shoulders. "Alright, Old Man. It's just some carrots. I have a great appetite. I'll help you finish them all tonight so they won't go to waste."
"Hmph, how kind of you." Yang Gongming looked at the radishes with a pained expression. He turned to Yan Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, tell the kitchen people to use the edible radishes in the dishes. As for the leftovers, make them into sour and vinegar radishes and eat them slowly."
Yan Sanniang nodded her head out of habit.
Yang Cheng raised his brows. "I thought you were a generous old man. How could you be so stingy over a few radishes? She's your granddaughter-in-law who's going to give you great-grandchildren in the future. You've only wasted a few of your carrots, yet you've scared her to tears. "
"What do you know?!" Yang Gongming continued, "I planted these radishes one by one. I've been taking care of them every day. How can I be happy when I see them being wasted like this?"
Lin Ruoxi said carefully, "Grandpa, can I help you bury the radishes? Since they're not cut, I can just bury them again."
Yang Gongming felt helpless. "It seems like you really don't know anything. You look no different from when you pulled it out, but this root is actually almost broken. If you continue to plant it, it'll just rot."
Lin Ruoxi was completely confused. She didn't expect there to be so many tricks up her sleeve. She couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Alright, you don't have to blame yourself. I was the one who looked forward to your return. You're a girl who grew up in the city, so it's understandable." Yang Gongming waved his hand and said, "Let's go sit in the courtyard. This afternoon nap is over. Accompany this old man for a cup of tea and talk."
No one dared to object. Looking at Yang Gongming's pained expression, they felt pity for the old man. He was like a child whose toy was broken.
However, Yang Cheng found it funny. He felt that this old man had a cute side to him.
Just as they walked to the grapevine-covered pavilion in the front courtyard, a bodyguard came to the door and reported, "Master, the madam of the Cai clan, Jiang Shan, has brought the eldest daughter of the Cai clan, Cai Ning. They're here to pay a visit."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.
Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed. Although it was a good thing that Cai Ning came, that cheap mother-in-law, Jiang Shan, was really a headache.
Lin Ruoxi's expression didn't change. She just looked at the man with resentment.
Guo Xuehua's expression was a little strange. She seemed to be thinking about how she should react.
"Cai Ning …" Yang Gongming pondered for a moment. He pursed his lips and smiled. "I've heard of that girl many times. She seems to have a good relationship with you."
Seeing that Yang Gongming was asking him so bluntly, Yang Cheng coughed twice. He pretended not to see Lin Ruoxi's cold gaze and nodded.
"Then let's meet them. Just ask Madam Cai and her daughter to come over for tea," Yang Gongming said with a smile.
With Yang Gongming's decision, even if Lin Ruoxi felt uncomfortable, she didn't dare to say anything.
The pitiful CEO Lin was still feeling guilty for plucking a few radishes by mistake.
Not long after, a high-pitched female voice came from the corridor.
"Aiyo, thank you, Old Marshal Yang! You're worthy of being the cornerstone of our Hua Xia to have us mother and daughter come to disturb you in the afternoon. "
Jiang Shan's flattering words gave Yang Cheng and the rest goosebumps. However, Yang Gongming seemed to find it interesting. He held his chin and chuckled.
Jiang Shan was dressed in a fashionable floral dress. She was holding a long red box in her arms. It looked like a gift.
Cai Ning, who was wearing a simple white dress, followed behind her mother from beginning to end. Her hands were intertwined in front of her body, which made the woman's inner nervousness and uneasiness show.
Completely different from her sister, Cai Yan, she was quiet and elegant, making Cai Ning seem to bring out the best in this secluded courtyard.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Yang Gongming's eyes. The smile on his face became even warmer.
Jiang Shan was completely familiar with them. After flattering Yang Gongming, she greeted Guo Xuehua and Yan Sanniang.
Finally, when it was Lin Ruoxi's turn, Jiang Shan seemed especially excited. "Ruoxi, I haven't seen you for so many years. You seem to be the stubborn little girl you were when you were young. How did you become so slender and elegant all of a sudden? I heard that you came to Beijing. I've been wanting to see you for a long time. I hope you don't mind."
Because Choi Yeon and Lin Ruoxi grew up together, she often saw Jiang Shan when she was still in Zhonghai. That was why she started the conversation.
Even though Jiang Shan's intention was obvious and she did not have a good impression of Lin Ruoxi, it was as if she was a senior who missed her junior and was full of nostalgia.
Lin Ruoxi smiled at Cai Ning before nodding at Jiang Shan. "Of course I don't mind. I'm also very happy to see you, Auntie Jiang."
The smile on Jiang Shan's face was like a blossoming flower. She pulled the uneasy Cai Ning over and said, "I've told Ning Er to get closer to you, Ruoxi. You're more familiar with Yanyan, but Ning Er went to Sichuan Province to learn martial arts when she was young, so we haven't seen each other much. Now that we have this layer of relationship, I believe you'll get closer very soon."
This relationship?
Jiang Shan said it lightly, but in fact, she revealed all the internal connections. She didn't even give the slightest chance to settle the matter. She just played it down.
Yang Gongming and Yan Sanniang looked at each other. Both of them were a little impressed by Madam Cai. This was not something that could be done by just anyone with thick skin.
