Qi Jianguo slapped the little guy on the butt and said, "You are the only one who can compare with him. He has no children and only an old man at home. We have one more person to feed, so where can we get the money to buy snacks?"

Da Zhuang covered his buttocks and felt the pain from being hit. He said, "Dad, it's okay if I don't eat. Why are you hitting me?"

"You deserve a beating. Next time you compare yourself with others, come back home and try to make others feel full even with two meals a day." Qi Jianguo wanted to beat his son just by looking at him.

Li Juxiang also reacted, "Da Zhuang, tell your father that we are not going back and we will stay with you in the military compound."

If I go back, my mother-in-law will definitely not let me keep the food coupons and money. How can I be the master of the house? I will definitely not have enough to eat every day.

At least here I can eat solid food, but at home even liquid food may not fill me up.

Li Juxiang also calmed down.

Da Zhuang looked at his father and then at his mother. Why did he want to go back? "Dad..." Da Zhuang blinked his innocent big eyes and looked at Qi Jianguo.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. You are all military families. Don't talk about other people's gossip in the future. You all live in the compound. You know what to say and what not to say. It's been so many years, I don't need to teach you, right?" Qi Jianguo looked at his wife who had been with him for so many years and taught her.

"I know, I know. I was possessed by a ghost today. I will never do that again. After all, other people's things can be given to whoever they want. I have no relationship with them, so I will not ask for their things casually again," Li Juxiang assured Qi Jianguo.

"Well, let's eat quickly." Qi Jianguo looked at his wife's sincere attitude in admitting her mistakes, so he didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon, just as Gu Yao woke up, she heard a knock on the door.

The voice outside was heard from Li Juxiang. She quickly walked to the door and opened it. "Juxiang, I just woke up from a nap. Is there anything you need?" Gu Yao said to the person in front of her.

"Hey, let's go inside and talk," Li Juxiang said with a smile, and walked into the house while talking without any courtesy.

Gu Yao nodded. It was impossible to chase someone away once they were home.

When they arrived at the main room, Gu Yao picked up the kettle on the table and poured a large bowl of cold tea for Li Juxiang, who was sweating profusely. "Juxiang, you look so hot. Drink some cold tea and take a break. Sit down and talk about it if you have anything to say."

"Oh, my sister-in-law is the best to me. These are the vegetables I got. Captain Xiao gave me some money before, but I didn't tell you. Captain Xiao said it was for buying vegetables. But I don't want this money in the future. I didn't even tell you this morning, and I even had your bowl of noodles. I'm really sorry. If you want to eat vegetables in the future, you can pick them from my private plot. These are some tomatoes and cucumbers I grew. Look how juicy they are. Take them and eat them first," Li Juxiang said with a smile.

Gu Yao raised her eyebrows. Was she feeling guilty or was she scolded by her husband? However, she really shouldn't have apologized. Even if he didn't give her vegetables, he was the first person to come to her house and help her go to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street to buy things. She should thank him.

"Juxiang, what are you talking about? You have helped me a lot today. These are all good things. How can I accept them?" Gu Yao refused.

"Sister-in-law, just take it if I give it to you. How can you refuse it? Just think of it as my gift to apologize to you. Please accept it quickly. You are refusing. I thought you would still take this matter to heart," Li Juxiang said angrily.

Gu Yao felt that Li Juxiang was a wonderful person, who was flexible and adaptable. She even knew to apologize for the things she had done that were not quite right. It seemed that this person was easy to get along with, and she did not take anything to heart, and would correct her mistakes as soon as she knew them.

"Okay, Juxiang, I'll accept your things. In my family's private plot, what kind of vegetables do you think can be planted in this season?" Gu Yao said.

It is August now and the weather is quite hot. Almost half of the year has passed. It would be nice to plant some vegetables that can be harvested quickly and eaten.

"Sister-in-law, it's August now, and there are a lot of vegetables that can be grown, including green lettuce, beans, radish, cabbage, and water spinach. When the weather gets cold, we can eat these vegetables one after another," Li Juxiang said, listing them all.

Gu Yao thought about it and realized that even if she planted them now, there would be more edible vegetables, but in the meantime, she still would not be able to eat these vegetables as soon as possible.

I really need to buy some vegetables to eat in the next one or two months.

"Juxiang, there are so many here. We can eat radishes and cabbages in winter, and these things can also be added. These beans are also good things. They are delicious when stewed with meat," Gu Yao said with a smile.

Although I'm not sure about the planting season of this thing, I can eat it.

In the 22nd century, vegetables are available in all seasons. Greenhouse technology has long been common, and you can eat any vegetables you want no matter what season it is.

The weather is quite hot now, so there is no need to do this. It is still a good time to plant these things.

Gu Yao wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seeds, but Li Juxiang assured her, "Sister-in-law, I have plenty of these at home. There's no need for you to go buy them. It's tiring to make the trip."

Li Juxiang returned home again and gave some of the bean seeds, radish seeds, cabbage seeds and seeds that were going to be sown in this season to Gu Yao. Now there was enough for planting.

"This is too much," Gu Yao said embarrassedly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite with me. When I first came here, there were many sisters-in-law who helped me. Although you look younger than me, Captain Xiao is older than my man. You are my sister-in-law, and you should take this thing. When other family members come to our compound in the future, you, sister-in-law, will not look at them as people who know nothing and don't care about anything, right?" Li Juxiang's words of sister-in-law made Gu Yao lost.

This thing is indeed everywhere in the countryside. Now the compound is in the city, and most of the military wives here have come from hard times, so they naturally grow what they can, which can save a lot of money.

After all, there is only one man in the family to support. In addition to his wife and children, he also has to support his parents back home. Some of his brothers and sisters are still young and have to help take care of the family. Basically, they are not rich.

Gu Yao looked at the person in front of her and said, "Thank you, Juxiang. If you need any help in the future, just let me know and I will do my best to help you."

They are not my relatives, and it is very good that they are so kind to help me. Materials are in short supply now. If I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy seeds like this, not only will it cost money, but it will also take me a whole morning.

I get really impatient when it comes to squeezing on the bus.
