Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 69 Preparations for the Cafeteria

On the way back, Yu Juan sighed, "No matter what, things will be much easier at home now that Zhang Zhi is back."

"This child was confused back then, but he can admit his mistakes and correct them."

"Well, it's good to have some help. It would be bad if we pushed the child too far and caused unnecessary losses."

Xia Lihua and Yu Juan chatted, both pleased that the child had returned; what else could they do?

The mistake has already been made; the only way to make amends is for the whole family to work together.

Xia Shiyu didn't offer much of an opinion while driving; she just focused on driving.

As soon as Xia Shiyu returned, she discovered that Director Qin had already sent people to pick up the goods. That's fast!

Xia Shiyu got out of the car and walked into the yard. The two workers in the yard were confused. They had come to nothing. Only the two elderly people were still at home.

"You're here to pick up goods for No. 1 Middle School, right?"

When the two workers saw her arrive, they quickly said, "Yes, Boss Xia, we were called here by Director Qin."

Actually, Xia Shiyu could have been responsible for delivering these dishes, but Director Qin thought he still needed to check and select the best ones to ensure they would capture the students' taste buds as soon as they appeared in the cafeteria.

However, he had clearly overdone it, because the two workers went to the field to take a look and found that everything was fine.

Xia Shiyu pointed to the vegetables that had been harvested yesterday and said, "Something happened at my home yesterday, so you should have enough of your stock. Take it first." The rest were still in the field and hadn't been harvested yet.

The two workers took a look and found it was indeed feasible, so they took the vegetables and left.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia. We'll head back now."

"Okay, be careful."

Xia Shiyu has now adjusted her mood. After all, even the closest relatives can't truly understand what's going on. She can only do her best to offer some help, nothing more.

She called to her parents, "Mom and Dad, let's go to the field and harvest some more vegetables."

"Okay, we're coming right now."

Xia Shiyu had accomplished another task, but Director Qin was filled with anxiety once again.

He paced back and forth in the school with his hands behind his back, only feeling half relieved when the worker said he had delivered the goods.

As for why he was only half relieved, it's because he wouldn't be truly at ease until he saw the actual results.

Today is Tuesday, tomorrow is Wednesday. The vegetables he brought back from Xia Shiyu's place today won't be cooked today; he plans to wait until tomorrow noon to make a splash.

Fortunately, these vegetables are all fresh and will be fine for a day.

He was even somewhat apprehensive and eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next day.

------------

After class in the evening, Xia Jie dragged his heavy body home. He felt like a walking corpse, completely devoid of interest.

He returned home dejectedly, intending to wash up, go to his room to sleep, and play on his phone as usual.

As soon as I changed my shoes and entered the room, I was greeted by a wonderfully pleasant fragrance.

His drooping head immediately lifted, and his eyes lit up.

This was the familiar taste to him; it was the vegetable that Shi Yu grew, which he loved to eat the most.

He walked impatiently into the living room and saw the chive dumplings on the table.

He was overjoyed, "Mom, you went to Sister Shiyu's house again!"

Second Aunt came out and said, "No, that's not true. We had dinner with your uncle today, and Xiaoyu gave it to us."

"Oh, I see. But that's good too. I can finally eat such delicious food again."

He simply sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating dumplings.

This was indeed specially left for him by his parents. They usually came back after 10 p.m. after evening self-study, and they were hungry at that time, so they left him some dumplings.

Xia Jie ate with great relish. After enjoying the delicious food, he couldn't stop thinking about it. The food he had brought back from the Xia family had already been almost completely eaten up by them.

They also found it strange; had their appetites suddenly grown so much?

However, Xia Jie felt that he was in a terrible situation. His older sister took a lot of food from home when she went to work in another city. After he started school, his parents ate a lot of it, and his mother even gave some to the neighbors.

In the end, he ate less. Although Xia Shiyu said that he could go to the field to pick more if he wanted, his parents thought that they couldn't go too often and planned to go again after a while.

However, this caused him a lot of trouble, because he found it too much trouble and could only eat something at noon and after returning from evening self-study. He couldn't eat anything at other times.

The more he thought about it, the more regrettable it became. "After eating this dish, I will never be able to eat the cafeteria food again."

The food in the cafeteria wasn't particularly bad, but it was far from delicious either; it was just plain and bland, good enough to fill your stomach.

He couldn't help but think that if the cafeteria could serve dishes from Sister Yu's family, he would definitely spend every day there and never have to worry about not being able to eat.

Xia Jie couldn't help but start indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

God, you must grant my wish.

This is truly a foodie's most basic wish.
