Chapter 263 Discussing Things]

Qin Yian approached Lu Jinghe and watched from behind as her grandparents led people into the study. She whispered, "It must be those ambiguous words that my second uncle said just now."

She was thinking that her small goal might have a breakthrough today.

"Well, it's a good thing for us. Let's go in and listen to what they have to say." Lu Jinghe took Qin Yian's hand and walked inside. The two of them were not worried at all and walked into the house with smiles on their faces.

After pouring tea for the elders and sitting down, Grandpa Gu began to ask impatiently, "Yian, Jinghe, do you want to have more land to grow vegetables?"

Qin Yian shook his head honestly, "Not really."

"Uh--"

This sentence blocked Grandpa Gu's mouth, and he didn't know how to say the next words.

Looking at Lu Jinghe, Lu Jinghe also shook his head.

"I don't want to either."

This, their efforts these days are in vain?

Oh, they should have asked the two young people's wishes before, now it seems that they are just enthusiastic? Oh, what can we do!

Old Master Gu looked at others helplessly and let them talk.

Grandma Huo Jingshu asked softly: "Why don't you want to?"

"You only know that the vegetables grown now are delicious, but you don't know the hard work involved. How many hard days and nights have been spent to make the vegetables we eat today."

Qin Yian wrinkled his face and waved his hands tiredly.

"Jinghe and I are already exhausted from taking care of the seven greenhouses at home. We only managed to get a little more busy recently after inviting a few friends to help. This is only because the vegetables are in the ripening period, so there is not as much work as at the beginning."

Lu Jinghe nodded and continued:

"When we first started building the greenhouse to plant, it was so tiring. We got up earlier than chickens and went to bed later than dogs every day. We selected seeds, raised seedlings, transplanted them, weeded, caught insects, applied fertilizers, and controlled the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse. This was the most difficult part. If we weren't careful, all our efforts would be wasted and we would end up with nothing. Then, when the flowers grew and bloomed, we had to take care of pollination, so we had to add the task of beekeeping. There were so many things to do that we couldn't even keep up with them. Our work logs now fill several thick volumes."

Seeing that the elders had listened, he continued.

"Besides, we both have to go out to work during the day, which is really exhausting. We did this just to satisfy our own appetite, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring. Now the vegetables from the seven greenhouses are enough for us to eat, and there is even some left over to send to the elders. It's already very good. We should be content with what we have. To be honest, we are now... we don't have the energy and the strength, but we just don't show that we are holding on in front of the elders."

Qin Yian looked at Lu Jinghe with heartache, "I was injured some time ago, and Jinghe put all the burden on himself. He was so tired that white hair grew around his ears. I felt very sad when I saw this. Alas, we can't do this anymore!"

A few words from the two of them silenced the elders in the room. The expressions on their faces were three parts self-blame, three parts shame, and four parts embarrassment.

A bit like a palette, Qin Yian suppressed her smile, lowered her head to drink tea to hide her emotions, and quietly looked at these adults while drinking tea.

Lu Jinghe beside her did the same thing as her, not saying a word, observing quietly, guessing what they were thinking.

At this time, several elders lowered their heads, their faces showed many emotional changes, and they also had different thoughts in their hearts.

Grandpa Gu, I feel ashamed!

How much food have they eaten in the past few days, all of which were grown by the sweat of the two little ones, but the adults only know how to eat, and completely ignore the hard work and efforts of the younger generation in the meantime.

They followed those shameless people to eat for free. Now they want to thank the younger generation, but it seems that they are just thinking that they are doing it for their own good.

It seems that getting this done will only satisfy their selfish desires as elders, and it seems to be a burden to the two younger generations.

Wu Qiuyan was also feeling annoyed, feeling a little sorry for her granddaughter, and felt that she didn't care about her granddaughter's work results at all.

Her head was also filled with tofu dregs, and she didn't care about the fireworks of the world.

Wu Qiuyan knocked her head.

It's easy to guess how hard it is for the grandsons to make such delicious dishes. They also need to pay a lot of money to the friends they invited to help them. Otherwise, how can others help you all the time? As

a grandmother, I am too irresponsible. I do things too willingly without considering the ideas of the younger generation. Why is she like this?

Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe's words hit Grandpa Xia hard. The comfort of the past few years has made him forget the hard life in the past, forgetting how much hardship and sweat are behind every success.

Qin Yian watched them reflect and regret. They must have clearly realized that the greenhouse vegetables they made were not as easy as they imagined. She also made them realize that these vegetables were not easy to come by, and awakened them to the things they subconsciously ignored, which made it easier for her to put forward some conditions.

When she looked up at a few of them, she saw that there were tears in their eyes, which made her feel a little uneasy.

What were these elders thinking? Why were they crying?

It was almost time, Qin Yian quickly exchanged glances with Lu Jinghe, put down her teacup, and said:

"Grandma, just say whatever you want to say!"

Lu Jinghe echoed her, "Yes, elders, just tell us directly what you want to discuss. We will listen carefully and help you if we can."

This suddenly made the elders feel a little embarrassed, as if it seemed that they were the ignorant ones.

Political Commissar Wang couldn't wait any longer, and seeing that none of them were willing to speak, he simply said, "I came here today to say that the winter greenhouse vegetables you grow are very good and useful. Not only do they solve the problem of not being able to eat vegetables in winter, your vegetables are high in nutritional value and are of great benefit to the body."

Eating them can also relieve people's emotions, soothe those soldiers with sequelae of post-war trauma, and help them sleep well.

Political Commissar Wang didn't say the last sentence. This kind of mysterious thing couldn't be explained, so it was better to keep it in mind, mainly to prevent those external hostile forces from knowing it.

The question is that I feel good after eating vegetables from other seasons.

Political Commissar Wang remembered what the two young men in front of him had just said, and after thinking for a while, he said carefully:

"After our discussion, we want to allocate a piece of land to you. Of course, we will not charge any fees and will not restrict you. You will be in charge of the greenhouse vegetables and plant them as you like. We will collect the vegetables and pay you a high salary."
