Six hundred sixty-two, mission out

Luo Shu was cooking with Lu Hanmo in the kitchen when she heard someone knocking. Setting her teacup down, she went to answer it. When Hanmo was present, she seldom had a chance to cook, usually just keeping him company with chatter.

Approaching to open the gate, she saw Guo Moli standing outside.

"Sister-in-law, is there something you need?" Luo Shu asked in a calm voice.

Guo Moli flashed a smile and said, "I came to borrow some vegetables from you. I was supposed to go shopping this afternoon, but it started raining, so I didn't make it, and oh! The vegetables in your yard are growing so well!"

During this exchange, she didn't wait for Luo Shu to invite her in and headed straight for the vegetable patch in the yard.

In the Guard's Members Courtyard, each family had their own designated plot. The land behind the Guard's Members Building used to be wasteland but was later reclaimed and turned into vegetable gardens.
