Chapter 210: Chapter 210 He Xiuyu’s Yu is also Yu

Qiao Qingyu gazed at it again, carefully examining under the bright light.

The letter gleamed brightly within her sight.

Qiao Qingyu wondered, what could this mean?

Y?

There are also many words that start with this English letter, each carrying various meanings. Similarly, if it’s an abbreviation in Pinyin, there could be many meanings as well.

Could this be the name of the Space Device?

Or possibly the initials of its inventor?

Yue, Yang, or Yin?

So many possibilities.

Certainly, it couldn’t be the Jade from her name, Qiao Qingyu?

At that thought, Qiao Qingyu grinned. Even if she had ten lifetimes, she wouldn’t be able to create such high-dimensional space.

She was no alien, after all.

If it were He Xiuyu, that might be more likely.

Suddenly, a thump struck Qiao Qingyu’s heart.

Good heavens, she was thinking too much.

After all, the ’Yu’ in He Xiuyu was also ’yu’.

It was only then that Qiao Qingyu really realized that the last character of He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu was pronounced the same.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, frozen for a few seconds. Deciding not to speculate wildly any longer, she hurriedly cleaned up the broken glass—just in case one day she stepped on it barefoot, that would be awful.

But at that moment, she heard a knock from outside.

Vaguely, it seemed to be Lu Ye?

Hadn’t he returned to Xichuan, and now he was back again?

Qiao Qingyu quickly pressed the red mole on her hand, emerged from the Space Device after ten seconds, tidied herself up, and quickly went to the yard.

Lu Ye was still knocking on the door, in a very polite manner that wasn’t loud or annoying.

Qiao Qingyu quickly opened the door, not expecting to see two people standing outside; Lu Ye was holding two jars, followed by a security guard from the compound, who also held a small jar.

The security guard placed his jar under the grapevine in the yard, then happily left with two tomatoes.

Everyone in the family compound of the base knew that the vegetables grown by Chief Engineer He’s spouse were tastier than fruits, including cucumbers and tomatoes. Of course, he had only ever eaten apples besides these, but he thought tomatoes were even tastier than apples.

The two tomatoes, he shared with another guard, and both didn’t hesitate to quickly devour them.

The other guard said with longing, "When will our base plant more of these big tomatoes? Then we could eat our fill."

The other man absentmindedly consoled him, "Don’t worry, that day will definitely come. You’ll be able to eat tomatoes until you’re sick of them."

"How could that be possible? I could never have enough in this lifetime."

That guard simply didn’t believe it.

The other was just placating him, of course, not taking it seriously.

At He XiuYu’s house, Lu Ye had placed all the jars properly and explained lightly, "Two of these jars are lard and the other is peanut oil, which I got from the canteen. We’ll deduct the cost from the money for buying seeds."

Then without waiting for Qiao Qingyu to object, he immediately started discussing the purpose of his visit. Towards the end, Lu Ye’s expression became serious and cautious, "Qiao Qingyu, this is no small matter. I always feel that Mr. Wu Xiujie isn’t just about planting trees; it feels like he wants to eradicate all of our Xichuan’s Barley Grass."

Qiao Qingyu naturally didn’t take it lightly. She took out a report and handed it to Lu Ye, "This is the original, you can take it back and show it to your leaders. Just return the original to me after making copies."

By this time, it was already 2 p.m. Qiao Qingyu had finished lunch and went to the Space Laboratory, planning to take a nap after a stroll. She figured that Lu Ye probably hadn’t eaten yet.

As Lu Ye reviewed the appraisal report again, he finally put it securely into his briefcase.

Qiao Qingyu asked Lu Ye, "Have you eaten?"

Lu Ye answered honestly, "No, I rushed over here."

"Did you drive here or take public transport?"

"I drove here, my car is parked in front of the guard’s entrance."

"Wait a moment then, I will make you something to eat."

Lu Ye didn’t refuse, as it wasn’t his first time eating at Qiao Qingyu’s house, and plus, he was really hungry.

Since he was in a rush, he was dripping with sweat, so he went to the eastern pergola to wash his face and hands.

Then, quite familiar with the place, he went to the vegetable garden and picked a cucumber. Without washing it, he started crunching on it.

Time was tight as Lu Ye needed to head back soon, so Qiao Qingyu boiled him a large bowl of noodles. She ran them under cold water then mixed a bowl of sauce that was extremely fragrant and thick, topped with finely sliced cucumber and minced coriander.

She poured the sauce over the noodles in the large bowl, and the aroma wafted up instantly.

She put two dishes of pickles on the table. Qiao Qingyu hadn’t mixed in any chili flakes, knowing that Lu Ye couldn’t eat spicy food.

Lu Ye mixed the noodles, unable to resist stuffing a big mouthful into his mouth. After a few bites, he swallowed.

Taking a breath, he muttered, "Delicious," and then looked up at Qiao Qingyu, his expression somewhat complex. "I really didn’t expect your cooking to be so tasty."

"Don’t rush. Eat slowly." Qiao Qingyu gave him another bowl of noodle soup, smiling as she spoke, "I’ll go pick some vegetables for you."

The pickings in the vegetable garden were actually quite slim. Qiao Qingyu was generous and often used such produce in exchanges, so besides the flourishing flowers and plants, the vegetables were always in high demand. Even the guards had to save up for several days for two tomatoes.

Nonetheless, Qiao Qingyu still put together some eggplants, beans, cucumbers, a bunch of small green onions, and coriander for Lu Ye.

The vegetables in the Northwest and North were similar, while Southern vegetables couldn’t survive even with good seeds, so most of the vegetables in the garden were typical Northern crops.

She packed these vegetables in a cloth bag. When Lu Ye was finished eating and drinking noodle soup, she asserted, "I need to pay you for those three jars of oil."

"Sure, you can pay with soybeans if you want, as I need quite a lot of them here."

"Speaking of which, have you already planned the planting of the soybeans? The soil here isn’t very suitable."

Lu Ye replied, "I’ve already planned it, but we’re currently lacking good quality seeds. So, the plan isn’t set in stone since this is for next spring."

So the main issue now was about the Barley Grass.

Qiao Qingyu knew Lu Ye was capable. As long as he disagreed, this matter wouldn’t proceed.

Lu Ye didn’t stay long at He XiuYu’s house after finishing the meal, and he quickly left.

Then, when getting off work, He Xiuyu brought Rongrong back home, and he was carrying a now rarely seen plastic jug, which contained a full plastic bucket of oil.

It was either none or several jars.

Nowadays, it was rare to use plastic jugs for storing soybean oil.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t think much about it and asked them to wash their hands and eat. But to her surprise, when He Xiuyu entered the kitchen, he immediately noticed the row of jars stored under the cupboard that was opened on the north side.
