Chapter 67

The latest update of "Traversing the Stars: A Wife's Glory and a Husband's Nobility"!

That night, it rained again, with a fierce storm that only subsided at dawn. Luo Bi listened to the rain and had a good night's sleep.

Now that there was rice at home, Luo Bi didn't plan to eat at the base cafeteria. She took two handfuls of rice from the balcony, washed them, and put them in the pot to steam. In the meantime, she picked a few green vegetables, removed the withered leaves, washed them, and blanched them in boiling water, then seasoned them with salt.

As for scallions, ginger, and garlic, she didn't have any at home. Ordinary scallions, ginger, and garlic were not worth using, and those with nutritional energy were too expensive, so no one usually bought them.

The fresh, blanched green vegetables paired with steamed rice made Luo Bi feel content just by the smell. Taking a bite, she found it even more delicious. This was what people should eat. After breakfast, Luo Bi washed the dishes and was about to check the spirit plants her father had sent when she noticed a hint of green outside the glass hall with her peripheral vision.

Luo Bi found it strange. The red fruit seeds she planted yesterday were in that spot. She hesitated for a moment before walking over. The closer she got, the more puzzled she became. It was clearly a cluster of green seedlings, but what kind of plant could it be?

Red fruit seeds usually take at least ten days to sprout, so it couldn't be red fruit.

Luo Bi finally approached, widened her eyes, and examined closely. Damn, they were indeed red fruit seedlings. This was unusual; seeds that should take ten days to sprout had sprouted in just one day, and they were growing vigorously, with emerald green leaves, and the plants were already an inch tall.

This wasn't the main point. Luo Bi was somewhat excited and started counting the red fruit seedlings one by one. After counting twice, there were twenty-four of them. The germination rate was quite high. Although the seedlings varied in size, it was impressive that twenty-four out of fifty-four seeds had sprouted.

Luo Bi pondered the reason, what had stimulated the seeds to sprout so quickly and with such a high germination rate? She thought and thought, and concluded that the problem must be with the medicinal residue ash. This was just a guess, and it couldn't be verified for now. Luo Bi estimated the distance between the red fruit seedlings; they were too dense and needed to be transplanted quickly, at least half of them.

She glanced at the rain, which was misty like a rain fog, but it didn't hinder the transplanting. Luo Bi carefully dug up ten red fruit seedlings and planted them in the field, where the rain would water them, saving her the trouble of watering them.

After doing this, Luo Bi opened the box containing the spirit plants to check. There were sixty spirit plants of various sizes, and she sorted them into twelve types.

Luo Bi was busy when someone rang the doorbell. She didn't rush to open the door but first put away the spirit plants before getting up to open it. As soon as the door opened, the person outside leaned in, too close, and Luo Bi took a step back in fright.

The woman was dressed simply, and Luo Bi didn't recognize her. The woman was very familiar and said, "You're home! I rang the doorbell for a while, I thought no one was here."

"Who are you?" Luo Bi didn't like such people, and her tone and expression were not friendly.

The woman didn't notice and smiled, "I'm Lan Qiao, my husband is Zhang Cheng, a member of the Second Combat Team. We just moved in yesterday, right below your place."

"Oh!" Luo Bi nodded to show she understood.

Lan Qiao, who seemed to lack perceptiveness, said enthusiastically, "I came to let you know that we're having a lunch party at my place today. You must come over later."

Luo Bi didn't really want to go, as they weren't familiar, but she still said, "I know."

Lan Qiao didn't plan to leave immediately and poked her head in, "I heard you just moved in too. Is everything settled?"
