Yi Chichi, "… Uncle, isn't it spicy for your throat?"
"Not spicy."
Liu Chengqi looked delighted, "Since winter began and our garden froze, I haven't eaten such flavorful scallions."
Speaking of which, he lamented, "It would be even better with some big scallions."
Wen's mother was expressionless, "Should I get you some more chili peppers?"
"You have chili peppers?"
Liu Chengqi looked surprised, Yi Chichi was speechless, of course there weren't any, the space was so limited, growing a few scallions and leafy greens was enough to relieve a bit.
Expecting more was really too much.
"No."
Wen's mother snapped back, "Do you think it's easy to grow these plants? It uses up firewood."
That indeed was an issue, but not urgent, after gaining experience, it will be easier next year.
"Store more firewood next year."
He said enthusiastically, "There are a few broken trees in the mountains, I'll bring them down in the fall."
