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.
