Shen Tingzhou nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes: "That's a good idea. In the food industry, quality should always come first."

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Wanqiu's heart. She recalled how, when she first transmigrated, she had risked using her spatial resources to ensure Nian'an could have a full meal. Now, her son not only managed the food workshop perfectly but was also thinking about helping the villagers get rich together—this was exactly her long-held wish.

“Great!” Lin Wanqiu said with a smile. “I support you. If you need any help, I can go to the base to guide the villagers in planting. My decades of planting experience didn’t come for nothing.”

Looking at the light in her mother's eyes, Shen Nian'an felt a warmth in her heart: "Mom, with your words, I have even more confidence."

After breakfast, Shen Nian'an accompanied Shen Tingzhou to the vegetable garden to work, while Su Yue'e helped Lin Wanqiu clear the dishes. Shen Nianzu followed behind Lin Wanqiu like a little tail, sometimes handing her a dishcloth, sometimes moving a small stool for her, chattering about funny things that happened in kindergarten, making Lin Wanqiu laugh heartily.

After clearing away the dishes, Lin Wanqiu took Shen Nianzu to tend the garden. This small garden was her most precious possession. It was filled with flowers and plants that she had transplanted from her spatial dimension. The roses were in full bloom, the roses were emitting a rich fragrance, and the peonies were budding, each plump bud resembling a small fist ready to burst open.

"Grandma, look at this rose, isn't it pretty?" Lin Wanqiu squatted down, pointed to a delicate red rose, and asked softly.

Shen Nianzu leaned forward, brought his little nose close to the petals and smelled them, then nodded emphatically: "Beautiful! It looks like the wedding dress Auntie wore when she got married!"

Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but smile, gently stroking the petals, her eyes filled with tenderness. Yes, the color of this rose really resembled the pomegranate red wedding dress Nianxi wore on her wedding day. Time flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, her daughter was married, her son had started his own family, and she could finally put down all her burdens and enjoy this rare moment of peace.

She took a small pair of scissors from her tool basket and carefully trimmed the withered branches and leaves of the rose bushes. Shen Nianzu squatted beside her, imitating her, gently pulling weeds with his little hands. Though his movements were clumsy, he was extremely earnest. Sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows of the two figures, one large and one small. Lin Wanqiu watched her grandson diligently weeding beside her, and a feeling of unprecedented contentment welled up inside her. This kind of life, filled with the joy of being with her grandchildren, was something she had never dared to even dream of before.

"Grandma," Shen Nianzu suddenly looked up, clutching a small dandelion in his hand, "what is this?"

Lin Wanqiu put down the scissors, took the dandelion, and gently blew on it, causing the white fluff to scatter in the wind. "This is a dandelion," she said with a smile. "When the wind blows, its seeds will fly in all directions, then take root, sprout, and grow into new dandelions."

Shen Nianzu stared wide-eyed at the fluffy fluff flying everywhere, letting out exclamations of amazement. He stretched out his little hands, trying to catch the fluff, but only managed to grab a handful of air. Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but laugh at his adorable expression.

In the vegetable garden not far away, Shen Tingzhou and Shen Nian'an were building trellises for the cucumbers. Shen Tingzhou's movements were steady and skillful, while Shen Nian'an diligently learned from him. The father and son would occasionally exchange a smile, understanding each other without needing many words. Looking at his son's upright figure, Shen Tingzhou felt a surge of pride. This once thin and timid child had grown into a responsible and far-sighted man. He knew that he and Wanqiu could confidently entrust this family and Wanqiu Food Shop to him.

Lunch was exceptionally lavish. Lin Wanqiu made stir-fried bok choy with her own homegrown vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also stewed a pot of chicken soup. Shen Nianzu ate with great relish, his little belly round and full. After lunch, he felt a bit sleepy, so Su Yue'e carried him to the bed in the guest room, and the little guy quickly drifted off to sleep, a slight smile still on his lips.

The afternoon sun grew increasingly languid. Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou sat in wicker chairs under the grape trellis, a pot of tea and several plates of snacks in front of them. Shen Nian'an and Su Yue'e sat opposite them, chatting. The grapevines had already sprouted tender green buds, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

“Dad, Mom,” Shen Nian’an said suddenly after taking a sip of tea, “The company is planning to develop a new green food product, and I would like to ask Mom to provide technical guidance.”

Lin Wanqiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "Me?"

“Yes,” Shen Nian’an nodded, “Your planting techniques are the gold standard of our food workshop. With you here, the villagers will definitely have more confidence in you. Moreover, your requirements for the quality of ingredients are higher than anyone else’s. I can only feel at ease with you in charge.”

Shen Tingzhou looked at Lin Wanqiu with a hint of encouragement in his eyes: "Go, Wanqiu. This is something you enjoy doing."

Looking at the expectation in her son's eyes and then at the encouraging gaze of her husband beside her, Lin Wanqiu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew that her son wanted her to contribute her remaining energy and to make her life more fulfilling.

“Okay,” she nodded with a smile, “I promise you.”

A joyful smile immediately appeared on Shen Nian'an's face. He knew that with his mother's involvement, the green food project would definitely go even more smoothly.

In the afternoon, Shen Nian'an and Su Yue'e took Shen Nianzu away. Before leaving, Shen Nianzu hugged Lin Wanqiu's neck and said reluctantly, "Grandma, I'll come again next time."

"Okay," Lin Wanqiu ruffled his hair, "Grandma is waiting for you."
