Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Introverted He Teng 5

"You! Just like Ya’nan from my family, like a child!" The political commissar’s wife was amused by He Zhilan, "But this is good, your He Mutou is too dull. If you were also that dull, wouldn’t the two of you end up sick from boredom? Compared to the first time I saw you, quiet and reserved, I like your current self better—living genuinely."

"As long as sister-in-law doesn’t think I’m two-faced, I’m good. Back then, I particularly envied my brother; he didn’t smile from time to time like he does now, always had a stern King of Hell face, so I didn’t dare to cause too much trouble." He Zhilan stuck out her tongue.

After eating, the two of them went to the market to buy groceries. They happened to run into some folks from the military, who saw them struggling with their bags and took the initiative to help carry the groceries to the car.

After buying vegetables, He Zhilan asked the political commissar’s wife to take her to a curtain shop. At that time, most curtains were ready-made, except the high-end ones, so there was no need for custom orders. He Zhilan bought curtains for two rooms, and then they headed to the local flower and bird market.

The political commissar’s wife clearly had a real interest in planting these things.

"Zhilan, not to say, you do know how to enjoy life. With these things in the house, it feels different, you know. Imagine, every morning, the first thing we do is water the plants. It really does feel quite good." The political commissar’s wife saw He Zhilan only pick plants that were easy to keep alive—those that neither bloomed nor bore fruit—so she was quite puzzled, "Zhilan, why not choose some that flower? Isn’t jasmine pretty nice? The flowers are so lovely thinking about it."

"I would love to, sister-in-law~" He Zhilan silently glanced at the blossoming jasmine plant the political commissar’s wife had picked out, and said, "If I take this back, there are only two possible outcomes. Either my brother will give it away, or he’ll just leave it be to wither. While I’m there, I can look after it, but if I’m not around, it’s sure to die."

The political commissar’s wife burst into laughter, "You just buy it with confidence and take it home! He definitely won’t throw it away. You can teach him how to nurture it at home. And if it dies, hold him responsible for it!"

Encouraged by the political commissar’s wife, He Zhilan decided to go for it and bought a cactus, a Devil’s ivy, along with a jasmine plant and a Mimosa. Luckily, apart from the jasmine being a bit large, the others were small, so with the help of the political commissar’s wife, He Zhilan was able to bring these things back to the car.

Upon arriving at the military base, seeing the number of items the two had with them, the young soldiers readily helped them carry everything back to their homes.

Once home, the first thing He Zhilan did was move the four vibrant plants to the windowsill in a row. Looking at the greenery bathed in sunlight, her mood lifted.

When He Teng came home at noon, he immediately noticed the plants on the windowsill. He walked over and then called He Zhilan, who was in the kitchen, pointed at the row, and asked, "You brought these back this morning? What are all these?"

"Don’t you recognize jasmine? Don’t you recognize cactus?" He Zhilan laughed, "This one here is Devil’s ivy, and this is Mimosa. Brother, try touching this Mimosa; it’s very interesting! When you touch it, it will close its leaves, and after a while, it will slowly open up again. I wasn’t planning on buying this pot, but it’s really so interesting, I couldn’t resist and brought it back too."

"Cactus and Devil’s ivy are easy to take care of!" He Teng, feeling a headache coming on, looked at the jasmine and the Mimosa, "If they die, you’ll be the one crying!"
