Chapter 236: Chapter 236: This man’s basic life skills are practically non-existent!

“Li Beijue, why did you throw away the leaves?”

She set the vegetables down and looked, oh Emma, he had thrown quite a few away. There were hardly any leaves left in the vegetable basket; all had gone into the trash can.

Li Beijue didn’t feel he had made a mistake at all. He calmly looked up and said, “That leaf was too dirty, it had soil on it.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t beat him, Chi Enen really wanted to pick up the vegetable basket and smack it on his head!

“It grew out of the soil in the first place, so it’s normal for it to have soil. It would be abnormal if it didn’t!”

“Who told you that? Don’t you know that scientists from Country W have long explored the nutritional components in the soil and created nutrient solutions based on those findings? As long as you soak the seeds in the nutrient solution, you can grow them without soil.”

Chi Enen was so amused by his flawed logic that she nearly laughed, “Okay, even if that leaf had soil on it, what about the others? Why did you throw those away?”

“They were too small, looked too old, or the leaves were curled, or they had insect holes…” he even had the audacity to bite back, “Chi Enen, 1 don’t even want to say anything about you. What on earth did you buy? Don’t you look at the vegetables when you buy them? You just pick up any trash!”

Chi Enen snatched the bag of cabbages, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Li Beijue didn’t expect that, after he had agreed to help, she would still give him the cold shoulder.

Suddenly his face turned ashen, and he growled, “Chi Enen, what do you mean by this!”

Chi Enen couldn’t be bothered to waste her words on him. She stuffed the potatoes into his arms, “1 don’t need you to select the vegetables anymore. You can peel, right? The knife is on the desk, just use that fruit knife to help me peel these potatoes.”

She wasn’t reassured and added another line, “These are all fresh potatoes, the skin comes off easily, don’t you end up peeling the potatoes away to nothing.”

After speaking, she picked up the bag and went inside to get busy.

Li Beijue suppressed a belly full of anger, his face turning blue, and several times he thought about throwing in the towel and quitting. After his facial expression changed for a whole week, he clenched his jaw tightly and picked up the fruit knife from the tea table, and began peeling the potatoes…

The speed of two people working together was much faster than one person working alone.

In the blink of an eye, Chi Enen had the soup simmering in the pot, and the cola chicken wings and tomato beef brisket were also done. All that was left was for Bae Chi to come home so she could make his favorite boiled beef.

She looked down at the time; it was already 6 o’clock.

Bae Chi should be back soon…

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Just then, the doorbell rang, followed by Chi Enen’s phone, who else could it be but Bae Chi’s call?

“Coming.”

She had just come out of the kitchen when the room door was already creaking open.

“Mommy, I’m ba…” Bae Chi’s childish voice abruptly stopped.

Chi Enen’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurried out.

Indeed, at the entrance hall, one big and one small were having a standoff.

Bae Chi looked up and down at the ‘strange man’ in their home with an unhappy expression, all his little defences on high alert.

Chi Enen immediately stepped in, “Baby, you’re back? Come on, hurry in and change your shoes.”

With his Boonie Bears backpack on his back, Bae Chi entered the home first, and while changing into slippers, his sharp eyes caught Li Beijue wearing away his treasured new slippers, and a flash of anger shot through his red phoenix eyes. However, he concealed it quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to looking normal.. He shuffled into his slippers and looked up at Chi Enen, “Mommy, is this uncle the colleague you said last time, the one who helped you carry the desk upstairs?”
