Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Recognizing a God Relative (3)_1

Zhao Li really liked Ruan Jiaojiao too much. After agreeing with a sound, she kissed Jiaojiao’s little face again, showing that she liked her incredibly much.

Thinking of the chocolate her son had specifically asked her to bring in the car, she couldn’t bear to let Jiaojiao go, and said, "Wait a moment, Auntie Li will get your favorite chocolate beans for you! Your brother Zhen likes you so much, he didn’t eat any this time and brought them all for you."

Ruan Jiaojiao watched Zhao Li, fluttering like a butterfly, run out the door to fetch something from the motorcycle, her face keeping a smile.

She didn’t notice the slightly sour look on Xiu Xi’s face next to her.

Xiu Xi stared at the spot on her face where that woman outside had kissed her, his eyebrows knitting into a little knot.

He could barely tolerate the Ruan family kissing her because he knew she liked it.

But Zhao Li’s kiss was something he couldn’t stand, and he didn’t care if people outside would see, he tugged at Ruan Jiaojiao, and when she looked his way, he immediately pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and fiercely rubbed her face twice, right where Zhao Li had kissed her.

Ruan Jiaojiao was stunned by his actions.

It took her several seconds to react, and then she saw him throw that handkerchief, which had wiped her face, on the ground!

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao thought, was she that dirty?

Fortunately, the adults outside were busy greeting each other and didn’t notice this; otherwise, it would have been hard to explain.

Zhao Li from outside came in with a bag of chocolate beans, smilingly stuffed them into her arms, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiaojiao, seemingly wanting to kiss her again, but at that moment, Lu Zhiwei called her from outside.

Lu Zhiwei was touring the building and first grew interested in the few trees in the yard.

He knew that houses with yards usually had a few trees planted, but they were typically camphor trees, cypresses, pines, or osmanthuses—all of which he recognized.

But these trees in front of him, all bare and looking wilted, what kind of trees were they?

He skeptically glanced at Ruan Jianguo, feeling that with his ability, he really shouldn’t have a problem acquiring some good saplings. Even if not, weren’t there plenty available in the mountain behind?

Then, remembering that a relative from his wife’s side of the family happened to sell saplings, he called her over and asked, "Wife, isn’t your uncle’s nephew selling saplings? Take a look, can we get a few of those here?"

After speaking, he turned to Ruan Jianguo and said, "The saplings from my wife’s relative’s place are really good. If I didn’t live in town, I’d want to plant a few myself. These few of yours..."

Lu Zhiwei pointed to the few saplings in the yard that seemed lifeless possibly due to the heat and shook his head helplessly.

The implicit meaning of his trailing words was clear without being expressed.

Ruan Jianguo, upon hearing this, immediately didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

These few trees weren’t his idea, but planted at his daughter’s insistence. His mother had told him that Xiu Xi had dug them up from the mountain in front, mentioning that besides the peach tree, there was also an apple tree and an apricot tree, though he hadn’t seen such fruit trees before and wasn’t sure if it was true.

But since Jiaojiao wanted to plant them, he had them planted.

There wasn’t a lack of space for this anyway.

And then Xiu Xi, who followed Jiaojiao out, his face turned particularly unpleasant upon hearing this, and not even the blistering sun overhead could dispel the gloom on his face.

The Ruanlin Family matriarch saw this and quickly explained with a smile, "All of these were planted by our little darling here. She found these fruit trees in the back mountain. We don’t know if they are good or not, we just planted them because she wanted to. Sorry for making you all laugh."
