Yu Yin and Lu Shurui have been extremely busy these past few days.

Professor An, Manman's teacher, sent a message asking them to come over to discuss Manman's art studies. An'an wanted to learn Taekwondo; she had seen someone practice it and thought it was quite impressive. Pingping was interested in foreign languages ​​and wanted to learn a less commonly taught language…

With many children in the family, there are many things to take care of. Kuai Kuai hasn't found anything he's interested in yet, but he says he'll continue spending time with Man Man, and he's also practicing calligraphy.

On their day off, Yu Yin and Lu Shurui first visited Professor An.

"You've arrived, come in."

"Professor An, this is a mixed vegetable dish and braised beef made by Aunt Hu. I brought it for you to try."

Having known each other for so long, when Yu Yin and the others come over, they mostly bring home-cooked dishes and fruits and vegetables from the yard. Also, they always address her as Professor An, so there's no way to establish a proper seniority.

"Okay, dinner's taken care of."

"I've called you here to ask if you want to become professional painters in the future or learn it as a hobby. Once you've decided on a direction, I'll adjust the teaching content accordingly."

Yu Yin hadn't really thought about this question. Manman was only eight years old and had no concrete plans for the future, nor did she know what she wanted to do. Learning to draw was her interest, and she also liked embroidery and calligraphy, and was interested in all of them.

"Teacher An, Manman is still young. No one can say for sure whether she will become a professional painter in the future. For now, she likes it, so let her study it as a hobby. If she wants to become a painter in the future, then she can study it professionally."

Yu Yin didn't want her child to live a too stressful life at such a young age, so she wanted her to explore and discover things that interested her and things she wanted to do. As for what kind of work she would do in the future, that would depend on her own preferences.

Yu Yin's current efforts are aimed at giving her child more choices when needed, so that she won't have to overthink things and end up like many people in later generations, crammed onto a single, narrow path.

Decades later, a word people often use is "roll," all kinds of rolls, you can't do without rolls.

Yu Yin hopes that her child will not have to follow a group of people to get ahead, but will have more choices and be able to walk a path that he likes.

Professor An understood Yu Yin and Lu Shurui's ideas and made adjustments in the following teaching.

In the afternoon, I enrolled An'an in a Taekwondo class and found a French teacher for Pingping through Shuqi.

When I got home that evening, I asked with concern, "Mom, did you talk to the professor?"

“I told him, and the professor said he would adjust the content of his lectures.”

"Is the professor sad? I think he wanted me to become a painter."

She gradually became quieter, but she was very perceptive.

"No, the professor understands what you mean and respects your choice. We don't need to rush to make a decision. Let's take it one step at a time and find what you really want to do."

"Okay, Mom, I love you."

"Mom loves you too!"

Yu Yin patted her youngest daughter's head. In two more years, she will be as tall as her, and it will be difficult to pat her head then.

After finishing their chores at home, Yu Yin and Lu Shurui took a break and went to the breeding farm together.

"Yu Yin, come and see, the piglets are growing very well."

I had just finished disinfecting when I heard Brother Liang shout.

At this time, disinfection was relatively simple. There was no disinfection equipment; people would just step on lime and put on a clean coat.

"Stand still."

Brother Liang brought over a spray bottle, which contained some kind of liquid, and sprayed them both.

What is this?

It doesn't smell very good; it's a bit pungent.

"It's the one Uncle Tan prescribed. It has a good sterilization effect. We disinfect it once a week."

"Uncle Tan? Is he the new zookeeper's father?"

"Yes, that's him, a very capable older man."

Brother Liang admired him greatly. The old man was cultured and elegant; just by standing there, he exuded a refined air and clearly belonged to a cultured person.

Yu Yin also became interested and decided to learn more about it later.

"Hmph... Hmph..."

You can hear the piglets squealing from a distance; they sound so lively.

"Tan Hui, this is our boss Yu Yin and her husband Lu Shurui."

"Hello, Mr. Yu!"

Yu Yin looked at the middle-aged man, who was in his forties, not very tall, but very energetic. No wonder he came from the military; he stood there with his body ramrod straight.

"Just call me Yu Yin. Welcome!"

Neither of them were good at small talk, so they went straight to the pigsty to see the new members of their farm.

"Ta-da..."

Tan Hui tapped the bottom of the basin, and the piglets rushed over.

There was a pigsty with fifteen piglets, all black and white, round and cute.

The pigpens were spotless, with no manure piled on the floor and no stains on the piglets. This reassured Yu Yin; with hygiene guaranteed, at least there wouldn't be a large-scale outbreak of disease.

The biggest fear in animal husbandry is disease outbreaks, which can be fatal.

Liang and his team brought in a total of one hundred piglets. They plan to buy more in two months, in separate batches. In addition, there are ten sows and two breeding sows here; they need to raise the piglets themselves and breed them gradually.

After watching the piglets, we watched the sheep.

The sheep were introduced by Zhong Liang's friend; Tan Hui had seen them and thought they were all good. Fifty ewes and ten rams will be raised gradually. As the number increases, Yu Yin doesn't have the manpower and resources to support it at this stage; it's a learning phase, so she needs to accumulate experience first.

What was most surprising was the soybean patch; the pods had already formed, clusters of them, and the beans were quite large.

After taking a walk around, I found that the farm was well-managed.
