After hearing this, Bai's parents and eldest brother Bai raised their eyebrows at the same time, expressing a hint of surprise.

Brother Bai picked up a piece of tomato from the fruit plate and put it into his mouth to chew. After a while, he couldn't help but nod and praise: "Yeah, it is!"

"I can't believe it! My sister-in-law and I haven't been selling tomatoes these past couple of days. Xiao Yu, how on earth did you manage to buy all these?"

The last time he visited, he shamelessly picked a bag full of tomatoes from the backyard.

Who would have thought that just because he accidentally stepped into Ningning's carefully tended vegetable garden, Leng Zexi ruthlessly put him on the blacklist of people who were prohibited from visiting.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen Ningning crying so miserably with his own eyes, he would never have believed that what he was stepping on were those tender vegetable seedlings!

In his initial impression, those wilted-looking plants looked more like dead grass that no one cared about.

"I finally managed to get a spot to buy vegetables yesterday. When I went to pick up the vegetables just now, I asked my sister-in-law for these tomatoes."

Bai Yu scratched his head and explained with an embarrassed and slightly shy look on his face.

Hearing this, Bai's parents all looked at him with dissatisfaction and blame.

They naturally knew very well that this tomato was not an ordinary vegetable.

It is said that there are already many people outside who are eagerly looking forward to buying tomato seeds or seedlings, and their prices are higher than those of ordinary vegetables.

Some people even go to great lengths to get tomatoes, but are reluctant to eat them all at once. Instead, they choose to eat half and use the other half to plant.

But even so, although the fruit that finally grew tasted okay, it still felt slightly inferior to the ones grown by Xia Ruoan himself, lacking that wonderful taste that would make people linger on the memory.

"How can you take other people's tomatoes for free?" Bai's mother frowned and looked at him with a puzzled look.

Bai Yu quickly waved his hands and explained anxiously, "Mom, you misunderstood! I just wanted one to try, and I'm really embarrassed to ask for more."

"I told her I'd pay for it, but my sister-in-law was so nice that she refused to take any money from me and even picked a whole bag for me!"

At this moment, Bai Yao, the elder Bai brother sitting nearby, turned his gaze towards his younger brother, his lips curled up slightly as he said with a half-smile, "Little Duoyu, are you hiding something from us? I see that you're a little off today."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of red tomato and took a bite. The juice splashed everywhere, and he kept exclaiming, "Hmm, it tastes good."

Although Bai Yao said this, he did not stop eating the tomato.

After hearing what their eldest son said, the Bai family's parents turned their attention to their youngest son and looked him up and down.

That's right. According to past experience, if there was such delicious food, this kid would definitely hide it tightly at the first time. He would not take it out and share a little with everyone until he had enjoyed it enough by himself.

But today, not only did he take the initiative to confess the origin of the tomatoes, but he also came to please them eagerly. This was really abnormal.

Bai's mother suddenly turned her gaze towards Bai Yu, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She hurriedly asked, "Bai Yu, have you gotten into trouble again at school?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Bai next to him asked, "Is it because you don't have enough money?"

Faced with his parents' repeated questioning, Bai Yu felt uneasy. He secretly glanced at his elder brother beside him, opened his mouth but dared not utter a word.

After all, compared to suffering punishment early, he would rather delay it and face the terrible consequences later.

At this moment, Mother Liu happened to bring out a plate of steaming dishes from the kitchen. It was the plate of vegetables that everyone had been waiting for for a long time.

Bai Yu, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, quickly shouted, "Let's stop talking and have breakfast first. Look, the vegetables are already fried!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the plate of lush green vegetables that exuded an enticing aroma.

Bai Yao, who had been silently observing his brother's every move, naturally did not miss Bai Yu's guilty look. He thought to himself, "Looking at this kid's appearance, this matter is probably related to him."

However, when his eyes fell on the plate of delicious vegetables on the table, all his doubts were instantly thrown away. He walked straight to the dining table, ready to eat first and ask questions later.

Bai Yao sat down, muttering to himself, "I never thought that even after knowing Leng Zexi for so many years, it would be so difficult for me to ask for a few vegetables from his door. This guy is truly a man who values women over friends!"

"It seems that the most important thing right now is to find a way to make Ningning happy first. Only then will we have the opportunity to visit again and pick those delicious vegetables smoothly."

At the same time, Qi Wang, who was standing aside, looked at the plate of vegetables in the middle of the dining table and was completely stunned.

Especially when he saw the four members of the Bai family sitting together, eating this extremely ordinary plate of vegetables with gusto and praising it endlessly, he could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes.

"Bai Yu, you swore to me before that these vegetables were reserved for your Teddy to enjoy!"

"But why is the puppy nowhere to be seen? Could it be that it's hiding?"

Qi Wang looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression, and then leisurely put the last red and juicy tomato in his hand into his mouth and chewed it.

Hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes widened and he retorted unhappily, "Who said Taidi is a dog?"

"That's just a nickname I just gave myself! It's the Tai from Tarzan and the Di from Invincible. How cool is that? Isn't that okay?"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu seemed to realize something. He suddenly cast his gaze towards the tomato that Qi Wang was eating, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

He rushed into the kitchen in two steps, and when his eyes fell on the bag full of fresh tomatoes, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that the bag was now empty, without even a tomato in it!

"Qi Wang! You...you actually ate all my tomatoes!" Bai Yu roared in frustration, his voice so loud that it could have shaken the roof.
