Chapter 29: Don't ss Around, Just Follow My Lead
The other two groups had already set off to the town to choose their gifts. Only ng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen returned ho.
After returning, Lu Jinsen locked himself in his room in a fit of pique and refused to communicate with ng Chuyuan.
ng Chuyuan looked unaffected. She sat down and took a sip of water. Suddenly, she rembered that when she went to the countryside that day, she found a few osmanthus trees nearby. She could sll the fresh fragrance of osmanthus from afar…
Thinking of this, ng Chuyuan got up and went to the kitchen to get a basin and scissors, then went out.
ng Chuyuan ca to the osmanthus tree and looked at the dense osmanthus flowers. She took out a pair of scissors and started to break the branches.
[Oh my, what is Sister ng trying to do?]
[What ti is it now? Why is she still in the mood to pick flowers?]
[This is too pretentious. I just beca her fan not long ago, but I already have the thought of leaving her fandom and stepping on her again.]
[I want to quit being a fan 1]
The audience in the live-stream cursed as they watched. After a while, ng Chuyuan had already returned with a pot full of osmanthus flowers.
ng Chuyuan separated the osmanthus flowers she brought back and placed them aside to dry naturally.
Lu Jinsen happened to co out of his room at this mont. When he saw two plates of osmanthus flowers drying in the courtyard, he could not help but frown.
He was a little curious and wanted to ask, but his thoughts and actions were not in accord.
In the end, Lu Jinsen chose to ignore her and was about to leave. However, before he could take a step out of the courtyard, he was stopped by ng Chuyuan.
ng Chuyuan asked him, "Where are you going?"
"To prepare a gift."
Lu Jinsen had thought about it for a long ti in the room. Although they had not exchanged their funds, he could not just let it go.
At the thought that the other teams would have gifts for people tomorrow, but their team would not, he could not help but imagine how awkward it would be then.
ng Chuyuan humd softly. "So you've thought of a way?"
"No," Lu Jin replied coldly.
"Then stop ssing around and just follow my lead."
Lu Jinsen snorted and looked at her disdainfully.
Was she asking him to slack around with her and embarrass himself in front of the entire village tomorrow?
He wasn't going to buy it this ti.
Seeing that he did not speak, ng Chuyuan said calmly, "Since you don't have any ideas, and I've alredy begun preparing for the gift. Why do you have to waste your effort?"
When Lu Jinsen heard this, his cold eyes constricted slightly and he revealed a surprised expression. "You're preparing the gift? Where is it?"
He raised his head and looked around, but he did not find anything in the courtyard. Finally, his gaze slowly landed on the osmanthus flowers behind ng Chuyuan.
Could it be that she wanted to give the dried osmanthus to the villagers?
Lu Jinsen denied the thought and looked up at ng Chuyuan. "Where are the things you prepared?"
"It's here." ng Chuyuan suddenly turned sideways and pointed at sothing on the bamboo board.
"…" It was true. What he was afraid of had co true.
Lu Jinsen's face darkened, and his cold eyes were filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding ?"
"Why would I be joking? Is rock sugar hawthorn and an osmanthus pine cake not enough?"
Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, Lu Jinsen's expression brightened slightly.
"You know how to make that?"
ng Chuyuan said, "Duh. Do you think I would dare to say that if you don't know how to do it?"
[So that's Sister ng's plan. I thought she was really going to ruin it.]
[I'm sorry, I spoke too soon. I need to withdraw my comnt.]
[Withdrawal 1. Boohoo, I won't spout nonsense anymore.]
[Sister ng is indeed a Platinum. She is hard-carrying this Young Master who is only at bronze level.]
[Lu Jinsen, you actually don't believe your Sister ng.]
[There's nothing Sister ng can't do. There's nothing she can't do. Hahaha.]
When Lu Jinsen heard her words, the worry in his heart gradually dissipated and he silently heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when Lu Jinsen saw that there did not seem to be much osmanthus and hawthorn, he started to worry again. "How much can you make with these?"
ng Chuyuan said bluntly, "Not much."
After a while, Lu Jinsen took the initiative to ask, "Are you going up the mountain? Go and pick so more."
It was rare for the two of them to have the sa idea, so they went up the mountain again and returned to the place where they picked the hawthorn today.
anwhile, the other two groups had arrived in town.
They did not know if it was because they did not see any gift that they liked or because the things were too expensive, but they ca out empty-handed after shopping in a few departnt stores.
"Yan Yan, let's go in front and take a look."
Liao Jiayan sighed and said helplessly, "That's all we can do."
They only had about 50 yuan on them and really did not know what to buy back.
Qi Zhen's group raised many examples of what they wanted to buy, but in the end, they were all dissuaded by the price.
After shopping for a while, Qi Yan gradually lost her patience. "What can we buy with this bit of money?"
"Why don't we buy so fruit and go back?"
In the beginning, when they were still discussing what to buy in the car, the siblings were the first to eliminate the fruits. They both thought that giving fruits was a little tacky, so they wanted to give sothing unique.
But now, they simply did not have enough funds.
Qi Yan wanted to give up, but she was unwilling. "Let's wait and see. Fruit is a last resort."
…
Lu Jinsen's trip up the mountain was like a bandit entering a village. He plucked all the fruits on the trees.
ng Chuyuan saw that he did not even let off the unripened green hawthorn. She could not help but reach out and smack the back of his head. "You're picking an unripened one?"
[What forced Sister ng to hit soone? So it's Young Master, this lon boy, hahahaha.]
[Young Master looks like a naughty village kid.]
[Sister ng's slap broke my defense. Lu Jinsen, be careful.]
[I can tell that Sister ng is feeling helpless. Hahahaha.]
Lu Jinsen turned around in confusion and said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid that we won't collect enough."
"It's useless even if you pick these unripened ones."
They picked a basket of hawthorns. After going down the mountain, ng Chuyuan brought Lu Jinsen to the old grandpa and grandma's house to borrow sothing.
"Child, you're here?" The old lady saw ng Chuyuan appear at her door again. She walked over happily to welco her.
After ng Chuyuan entered, she introduced Lu Jinsen to the old lady. "Grandma, this is my younger brother."
Lu Jinsen was stunned for a mont before he said shyly, "Hello, Grandma."
"Hello." Seeing that Lu Jinsen was tall, handso, and polite, the smile on the old lady's face widened.
ng Chuyuan said, "Grandma, I want to borrow the cart that you pulled the sweet potatoes with last ti. I also want to borrow so glutinous rice noodles and sticky rice noodles. Do you have them?"
When they ca down from the mountains just now, it was very arduous. They were afraid that they would accidentally knock over the hawthorn. There was still a long way to go back, so ng Chuyuan ca to the old lady's house to borrow a cart.
She also needed ingredients to make osmanthus pine cakes. She wanted to try her luck with the old lady and see if she could gather these things.
The old lady agreed readily. "Child, you asked the right person. I really have them here. Wait a mont, I'll get it for you."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma."
After a while, not only did the old lady pull out the cart, but she also took out the glutinous rice noodles and sticky rice noodles that ng Chuyuan wanted.
