Chapter 67

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, Luo Bi 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 the nutritious ones were too expensive, so no one usually bought them.

The simple seasoned green vegetables paired with steamed rice made Luo Bi feel satisfied just by the smell. The taste was even more delicious, and 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.

Luo Bi found it strange. The red fruit seeds she planted yesterday were in that spot. She hesitated for a moment and then walked 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 ten days to sprout, so it couldn't be red fruit.

Luo Bi finally approached and stared at the seedlings with wide eyes. Damn, they were really red fruit seedlings. This was unusual; seeds that should take ten days to sprout had sprouted in just one day and were growing vigorously, with bright green leaves and plants already an inch tall.

This wasn't the main point. Luo Bi was a bit excited and counted the red fruit seedlings one by one. After counting twice, there were twenty-four, and the germination rate was quite high. Although the seedlings varied in size, having twenty-four out of fifty-four seeds sprout was already very good.

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.

Looking at the rain, which was misty like a rain fog, it didn't hinder the transplanting. So 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 very 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 tell you that we're inviting you to lunch today. You must come over later."

Luo Bi didn't really want to go; 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?"
