Qiao Mei only knew how Zhou Hua was dealt with at that time, but she did not know what the final outcome was. She did not know if Zhou Hua was doing well at the moment or if she had been reprimanded by Third Uncle, Xia Guang.

“Is there any news about Third Aunt-in-law recently?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia He recalled carefully and said, “No, I just heard from my mother that she received a call at home from Third Uncle saying that Third Aunt-in-law has been sent back. I don’t know anything else.”

“Alright then. What flowers do you want to buy? I still don’t know what you like!” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Me? I like sunflowers,” Xia He said.

“Sunflowers? Why? Is it because they always face the sun?” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He crouched down sneakily and whispered into Qiao Mei’s ear, “Because… because they can produce seeds!”

Qiao Mei really did not expect the reason to be because sunflowers were edible.

“You like to eat melon seeds?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia He nodded excitedly. Ever since she was young, her favorite food was melon seeds. At that time, there were not many snacks available and melon seeds were something that everyone could afford. However, her family did not allow her to eat that.

Once Xia He joined the art troupe, Xu Lan strictly monitored her diet. She was not allowed to eat food like melon seeds and peanuts. At that time, she was still young and her teeth were still developing. If she ate melon seeds all the time, it would affect the overall beauty of her teeth and she would be eliminated by the art troupe.

“The melon seeds that I grow in our village are top-notch and sell very well. I’ll plant some for you in the courtyard so that you get to eat it when you come back,” Qiao Mei said.

“Don’t just brag about it!” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei rolled up her sleeves and said, “Don’t doubt me! My melon seeds are the best. Even in the capital, they’ll definitely still rank as one of the best!”

Xia He laughed at Qiao Mei’s serious expression and said, “Alright, I believe you. But I don’t just want melon seeds. I also want to eat the pickled vegetables and beef sauce that you make.”

Qiao Mei looked at Xia He in puzzlement. How did Xia He know that she knew how to make all these? Could it be that Xia Zhe told her?

“Stop looking! Xia Zhe told me. He bragged to me for a long time about how delicious the meat sauce is and how your pickled radishes are irresistible. You can’t be biased. If my younger brother can eat it, I want to try it too!” Xia He said.

Xia He happened to see Xia Zhe sitting at the window and flipping through letters. When she asked him, she found out that the two of them had exchanged letters during the days when they could not see each other. Those pages were filled with the love between them.

Back then, she and Kong Lu were also so loving. However, things had changed. That love had been replaced by trivial matters and scenes of arguments.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the nursery. The old master she met during her previous visit was sitting in the rocking chair and sunbathing while listening to a song playing on the recorder.

“Old master, I’m here!” Qiao Mei said warmly.

The old master opened his eyes lazily and closed them again when he saw that Qiao Mei came empty-handed.

This little girl did not keep her word. He should not have given her those flowers back then. What a pity!

“Why are you ignoring me? How can I grow the flowers in such a short period of time? I’m not an immortal. Old master, don’t be angry. I’ll definitely bring you the flowers next time,” Qiao Mei said ingratiatingly.

The old master said sulkily, “What are you doing here again? I’m telling you, I don’t have any seeds for you this time!”

“I’m here to get some ordinary flowers and plants. You can go back to sleep, I know where it is. I’ll go by myself!” Qiao Mei grabbed Xia He and ran towards the glasshouse at the back to look at the flowers and plants.

“She behaves like she’s not an outsider. This little girl…” The old master smiled and sat up as he pointed at Qiao Mei, but there was nothing he could do about her.

It was Qiao Mei’s fault for being so beautiful and likable. The old master had been growing flowers and plants his entire life and he liked beautiful things the most, and beautiful people as well.

“Elder sister, take a look and see which one you like. We’ll get it,” Qiao Mei said.

Since He Ning had bought all the flowers they had at home, it was indeed time to buy more. Otherwise, the house would look empty, particularly since Xu Lan had no interest in these things.
