Chapter 247
Xia Ruoan thought to himself that Zhao Han was obviously deliberately avoiding certain things.
After observing and understanding for this period of time, she has realized the fact that Zhao Han has fallen in love with Shangguan Lan, his wife.
However, at the same time, he found it difficult to let go of Qiao Xin. This complex emotional entanglement put him in a dilemma.
It is said that it was because Zhao Han's wife noticed these things that she frequently quarreled with him.
During the day, Xia Ruoan was busy collecting soil data samples with everyone, and carefully looking for those rarer plants to evaluate whether they were feasible for transplantation and cultivation.
When night falls, she drags her tired body back to her residence, and the first thing she does is to call home to share her day's experiences and feelings with her family.
If she needs to rest in the mountains due to work, she will take out the photo album of her children that she carries with her, and flip through it page by page, with a happy smile on her face.
At this time, Bai Shuang came over, her eyes fell on the album, and she couldn't help but sighed: "Your triplets are so cute!"
Then, she asked curiously, "Are they naughty and mischievous? The last time I saw them, they seemed very well behaved."
Bai Shuang said this with envy on her face, her eyes revealing her desire to have her own child. After all, she still didn't know when she would receive such good news.
Hearing Bai Shuang's words, Xia Ruo'an smiled slightly and replied softly: "It depends on the specific situation. Sometimes they will make trouble for me, but as soon as they are in front of their father, they immediately become extremely obedient and almost dare not even make a loud noise."
After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes full of the tenderness and doting of a mother.
Suisui is a kid who looks just like his father, with a very calm personality.
As long as you give him a book, the little guy will sit there obediently, without saying a word, and read the book carefully from beginning to end.
Looking at Nian Nian, he is relatively quiet. Moreover, he is very similar to his second brother! They both have a strong interest in painting and like to paint with a brush when they have nothing to do.
But the most mischievous one is Ning Ning! This kid is always restless and gets beaten by his father for this.
When talking about the children, Xia Ruo'an's face was full of happy smiles. She continued: "This little kid Ningning really likes to work in the vegetable garden with me."
"Since last year, I have specially allocated a small vegetable garden for each of the three brothers."
"But who knows? This Ningning, no matter what he plants, nothing will survive. So far, there really is no plant that can thrive in his hands."
Thinking of this, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help laughing out loud, "Even the sweet potato seedlings that Gu Xingchen prepared for him before couldn't escape the disaster. I thought that these sweet potato seedlings would be easy to survive and there should be no problem, but in the end he planted them to death."
Hearing this, Qiao Yu felt both angry and amused, "No way, you finally got a successor, how could this happen?"
Xia Ruoan shook his head helplessly, indicating that he had no idea what was going on.
"Let's talk about what happened last time. Gu Xingchen was very kind-hearted! He gave Ningning a lot of sweet potato seedlings and told him to take them home and plant them.
I divided the sweet potato seedlings equally among my three children and asked them to plant them in their own vegetable gardens.
"But who could have expected something like this to happen later? The sweet potato seedlings planted by the other two children grew so well, so green and juicy, it made people happy just looking at them."
"But the ones that our Ningning planted showed no signs of growth. When I went to check on them a few days later, they were all wilted and listless!"
"I've heard about this, too."
"Look, your Ningning is pestering me to take him to find Xingchen to settle the score. He insists that the sweet potato seedlings Xingchen gave him are defective and can't grow because they are sick. This little guy is really stubborn."
"But it's quite interesting. The sweet potato seedlings planted by his two brothers were all alive and well, but his were all dead."
"But this little guy just wouldn't take it seriously. He insisted on blackmailing Gu Xingchen for half a bag of sweet potatoes." When hearing this, even Teacher Wen couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xia Ruoan looked at him in disbelief, "Teacher, when did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
"Remember that day? It was the day I asked you to help mark the papers, and I went out to take a short break."
"At that time, Ning Ning came to me and insisted that I take him to Gu Xingchen to seek justice."
"That little mouth was as if covered with honey, chattering away, making Gu Xingchen begin to doubt whether it was really the sweet potato seedlings that brought him the disease!"
"Later, Gu Xingchen even came to my place to take a look at the remaining sweet potato vines."
"It seems that your Zexi is also good at growing vegetables. The tomatoes grew particularly well at that time!" Bai Shuang joked with a smile.
When Xia Ruoan was pregnant, the small vegetable garden at home was almost entirely directed and planned by Xia Ruoan, while Leng Zexi was responsible for the specific work and care.
Bai Shuang also tried to help, but Leng Zexi did a really good job and didn't need her help at all.
Leng Zexi is indeed very capable. Whether it is sowing, fertilizing or weeding, every step is done in an orderly manner.
The tomatoes grown in the end were not only big and plump, but also tasted very delicious.
So Bai Shuang had to admit that people who work seriously and attentively can still do well even if they have done it before. Leng Zexi really loves Xia Ruoan, otherwise a president worth over 100 million yuan would not go to the fields to work.
"Zexi also said that two plus two equals a minus, and Ningning might not be born to be a farmer. He also joked that it's a good thing that our family doesn't rely on farming for a living, otherwise Ningning would probably starve to death!" Xia Ruoan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the way Leng Zexi said this.
Elder Wen on the side shook his head and said, "But I think Ningning knows a lot about the theoretical knowledge of planting."
Hearing what Elder Wen said, Xia Ruoan asked in confusion: "Teacher, what do you mean by this?"
"Have you not noticed? Your little Ningning has a very clear memory of the theoretical knowledge of plant cultivation!
Especially the part about roses, in my opinion, this must have been taught to him by Ouyang." Elder Wen looked at her with a smile and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
She really knew nothing about this! She also began to wonder: Didn’t her cousin give up growing roses a long time ago? Why did he suddenly teach Ningning these things?
"I have to say that Ningning has an excellent memory. Every time he comes here, I will explain to him the growth habits and characteristics of the plants he sees."
"When he came next time, I asked him casually, and I didn't expect that he could answer me accurately."
"What's even more surprising is that he told me in person that he wants to take over your job when he grows up." Mr. Wen said with emotion as he recalled every moment he spent with Ningning.
Mr. Wen was originally worried that Ningning was still young and might not have been exposed to even the most basic concepts, but the result was completely beyond his expectations.
I thought that every tree I planted would die, but the fact was that Ningning showed extraordinary talent and enthusiasm.
"It's interesting to say that Ningning seems to be particularly fond of this pastoral life of growing vegetables. Just a while ago, he took the initiative to come and help me grow vegetables." Old Wen continued with a smile, his words full of love for Ningning.
However, he also guessed that perhaps it was because Ningning was too dedicated and took too good care of the seedlings that some problems arose.
After hearing what Master Wen said, Xia Ruo'an was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She asked in a trembling voice, "Teacher, you actually asked him to help grow vegetables?"
"Since he likes it, I let him spread the seeds as a hobby. What do you think I can ask him to do? How can I let Ningning do other things so easily?"
Looking at Xia Ruoan's terrified expression, Old Man Wen shook his head helplessly and explained with a sigh.
At this time, Xia Ruoan became more and more anxious and asked in a trembling voice: "Teacher, what kind of seeds are you planting?" She secretly prayed that they were not the rare varieties that were extremely difficult to find.
Elder Wen smiled slightly, turned his gaze towards her and said slowly, "These are the seeds I won from a bet with an old friend. Although the quantity is not much, there is only a small packet."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he hurriedly said to Mr. Wen: "Hey, teacher, does your old friend still have this kind of seeds?"
"If there are any, I'm willing to pay any price, just to buy some more. And after I buy them, I will not only help you pay for them, but I will also take care of all the planting work!"
However, Elder Wen frowned in displeasure, glared at Xia Ruo'an, and asked unhappily, "What do you mean by that? Do you think none of my seeds can survive?"
When asked by Mr. Wen, Xia Ruoan nodded. She had already expected that she would not survive.
"No, no, teacher, that's absolutely not what I meant! I'm just worried that something might go wrong... After all, these seeds are not easy to come by!"
"Don't worry, I checked carefully before, and every seed has begun to sprout! Ningning was just helping to place the seeds, and the rest of the care work was done by me and your Senior Brother Wang."
"In order to take good care of you, even your senior brother Wang couldn't make it this time!" After hearing this, Elder Wen's tense expression relaxed a little, but he still felt that Xia Ruoan was making a big fuss out of nothing.
"Ningning couldn't grow well before. It was probably because he took care of her too much. Don't make a fuss." Old Man Wen waved his hand and said.
