Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2313: Chapter 2249: The Stingy Uncle

But when they went over, he realized that Chiang Xiao was already clearing the table.

Yang Zhiqi was dumbfounded.

"Is it finished already?"

"Uncle Yang, there’s none left for you. Didn’t you have pan-fried buns?" Chiang Xiao said.

Meng Xinian shrugged beside her.

See, you still don’t believe him.

Chiang Xiao said to him, "Your porridge is in the kitchen, go eat it quickly."

"Alright!"

Seeing Meng Xinian looking so smug, Yang Zhiqi couldn’t help but lift his foot to kick him.

Meng Xinian seemed to have eyes on his back, tilted his body, and effortlessly dodged.

Instead, Yang Zhiqi missed a step and almost tripped.

Old Yang gave him a disdainful glance, "Don’t embarrass yourself."

Yang Zhiqi: "..."

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but giggle on the side.

Later, Chiang Xiao went to learn cooking from Aunt Yang. She felt with so much meat in the Space, it was good to learn a few big dishes. Who knows, maybe she would crave them later?

Moreover, seeing the vegetables on the rooftop made her itch to plant some. The Black Land in the Space wasn’t fully planted yet. Those herbs and flowers would keep growing after being picked, so there’s no need to plant too many.

When she doesn’t have other herbs to plant, she can actually plant some greens. That way, they can eat them themselves and have veggies at home for days they’re too lazy to go out and buy.

Plus, enjoying the benefits of the Space doesn’t just stop at drinking water, tea, and flower infusions; now, they can also cook with it, how nice.

When she finds other rare medicinal herbs later and runs out of space, she can just remove the veggies.

Thinking of this, she went to take some vegetable seeds from Old Yang.

Old Yang’s home had many kinds of melon seedlings and vegetable seeds. With nothing much to do daily, he only took care of the rooftop garden.

Just as Meng Xinian had the rooftop ready, Chiang Xiao spent the past two days learning to plant vegetables with him and cooking with Aunt Yang, making this trio feel like living a pastoral life.

Meng Xinian felt as if Chiang Xiao wasn’t there to see him, but his protests were to no avail. He had to obediently come back to the rooftop and accompany them when he had no training or meetings.

Chiang Xiao secretly added some Spirit Spring Water to the bucket to water the plants and even poured some on Old Yang’s vegetable patch, sprinkling a thin layer of Black Soil on top. Consequently, her vegetables grew rapidly, visible growth within two days.

Old Yang’s vegetable garden also underwent noticeable changes, shocking him so much that he kept saying Chiang Xiao was a little lucky star, everything seemed better after she arrived.

Chiang Xiao scattered the remaining seeds in the Space, and overnight, the greens grew up, ready to eat by next morning.

This was when she realized Black Soil made vegetables grow even faster.

That noon she stir-fried these small bok choys, and put those harvested from Old Yang’s garden back into the Space first.

Old Yang and the others assumed the stir-fried vegetables were from his garden, praising Chiang Xiao’s delicious cooking, even suggesting she could become a chef if not for painting.

Yang Zhiqi only caught one meal these days and couldn’t forget the taste. But Chiang Xiao firmly claimed it was specially made for the two seniors, cooked soft and simmered well, not his taste, forcing him to the canteen.

Every time he felt a bit resentful.

Then why could Meng Xinian eat at home?

"What’s my relationship with Little?"

Meng Xinian raised his eyebrows, he didn’t mind at all that the dishes had been quite poorly cooked recently.

"I’m her uncle!"

"I’ve never seen an uncle so stingy that he didn’t even give a meeting gift."
