After half a month, the greenhouse on the farm was finally built. Coincidentally, Zhao Yiming was on leave, so the two drove a horse-drawn carriage to the farm to deliver the seedlings.
The vegetable seedlings were cultivated by Tian An in the space, and they are extremely cold-resistant. Furthermore, nourished by the space soil, they grow much faster than ordinary vegetable seeds, and they are grown in a greenhouse. If they are planted now, they will be harvested in mid-December, which is the perfect time to sell fresh vegetables.
In addition to ordinary vegetable seedlings, there are also strawberry seedlings, cherry tomato seedlings, etc. Tian An has already asked Chen Qiang to order gift boxes. When the time comes, the strawberries and cherry tomatoes can be packaged directly and sold as New Year's goods. The bright red color looks festive and will definitely sell for a good price.
After Tian An moved the seedlings in the space into the carriage, he came out and sat on the wheel track with Zhao Yiming.
Zhao Yiming frowned when he saw her come out and said, "The wind outside is so strong that it hurts my face. Go in quickly."
Tian An ignored him and sat down directly. "It's full of vegetable seedlings inside, it's not a good place to sit."
Zhao Yiming had no choice but to drive the carriage slower so that the wind would not blow so strongly, and he also helped her to gather her cloak.
When they arrived at the village, Uncle Yonghui and Old Man Tian were already waiting at the door with their men. There were quite a few unfamiliar faces among them. They must have been the temporary workers they hired, and judging by their looks, they should be from the Wounded Soldiers Village next door.
The seedlings need to be planted as soon as possible. They are short of manpower and should really hire workers.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, Tian An and the other man got off. Wang Erdong took over from Zhao Yiming and drove the carriage to take everyone to the fields.
Yonghui's uncle's wife, Li, and several other aunts hurriedly invited the two of them into the house. "It's so cold, why did you come in person? Come in and warm up by the fire!"
Tian An followed them into the house and said, "Aunts, are you all doing well recently?"
Li smiled and said, "Thanks to you, everything is fine."
Tian An's second aunt Du also said: "Yes! With enough food and warm clothes, life is very comfortable."
Yang, the tree's mother, also sighed: "Now with the oxen, farming is much faster than before, and people don't feel tired at all!"
Everyone drank hot tea and chatted occasionally. Tian An soon got a general idea of their recent situation.
"As long as you're doing well." He looked at their old cotton-padded clothes and said, "I'll ask Chen Qiang to buy some cloth and cotton when the time comes, and the aunts can make everyone a set of winter clothes!"
Hearing this, the aunts were flattered and said, "How can that be possible? The weather is getting cold now. Once these vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse are planted, there will be nothing to do in the fields. We are all eating for free, not to mention how can we have the nerve to make new clothes!"
"That's right, it's not cost-effective to make clothes in winter. It won't be warm again for a few months, and by then the clothes will be put aside."
"Yeah! An An, don't spend that money. You've been buying a house and a farm, and you've been busy building a greenhouse these days. You must be short on money. Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, and Daniu still have to go to school! It will cost a lot, so you have to save some money in case of an emergency."
"Listen to me, aunts. The cold weather in the capital doesn't pass as quickly as in Jinning County. Winter clothes can be worn for a long time and won't be idle. Just consider it my New Year's gift to you in advance." Tian An said, suppressing everyone's voices.
"this……"
Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Tian An made the final decision: "Okay, it's settled."
He looked at the sky outside and said, "If you ladies are not busy these days, I'll ask Chen Qiang to bring some cloth over, and you can help me make some gloves and scarves to sell! I'll still charge you the same as before."
Several people hurriedly said, "No, no, we don't need the money. We are idle anyway, eating your food and wearing your clothes. We are just worried that we won't have the chance to repay you!"
…
Tian An and Zhao Yiming stayed in the house for a while, and when their hands and feet were warm, they prepared to go out and look around. This was their second time here! They didn't know what had become of Zhuangzi.
The two of them didn't ask anyone to follow them, and they just strolled around the farm slowly, going wherever they wanted.
As they walked, they came to a greenhouse where vegetable seedlings were being planted. Tian An was about to go over to take a look when suddenly a half-grown child rushed out from the side.
Tian An was bumped into by him because she didn't check for a moment. Fortunately, Zhao Yiming supported her in time, otherwise she would have been knocked off the ridge.
The child was also frightened when he saw that he had bumped into someone. With a pale face, he hurried to Tian An and knelt down to kowtow, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my recklessness that offended you, sir. I didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me this time..."
Hearing the noise, the busy people nearby also looked over. The child's grandfather ran out from the crowd. Seeing his grandson like this, he knew that he had gotten into trouble. He hurried to Tian An and was about to kneel down, but was fortunately held back by Zhao Yiming.
"Old man, let's talk nicely."
Being held back by Zhao Yiming, the old man couldn't kneel down anymore and could only anxiously say, "I'm sorry, this is my grandson. He's young and naive. Please blame me for any trouble he gets into! His father is in the army, and he's the only one in the family. I can't let anything happen to him. Please let him go!"
Seeing the old man sweating profusely in the middle of winter, Tian An hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old man! We don't blame him. Let him get up! It was just a bump, it's no big deal."
The old man was stunned: "Really? You really don't blame him?"
Tian An nodded, "I really don't blame him."
The old man was delighted and quickly thanked Tian An, "Thank you very much, thank you for your generosity, sir. May you live a peaceful life!"
Seeing that Tian An and the others really didn't care, the old man pulled his grandson up again and asked him to thank Tian An and the others. Finally, he asked him what he wanted to see him about?
Unexpectedly, the child cried, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandma is not well. She has been coughing very badly since you left. She just vomited blood and fainted."
When the old man heard this, his face turned pale. He reacted and was about to run towards home, but he was not careful and slipped, and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhao Yiming was quick enough to pull him up, and only his clothes were soiled. Otherwise, if he fell down, his old bones would have been broken.
The old man stood up and thanked him, then hurriedly ran towards home with his grandson.
Several familiar uncles greeted Uncle Yonghui and followed him, but some of them were lame, some had obvious injuries on their hands, and one was blind in one eye.
Moreover, they were all wearing only a few layers of clothing. In this freezing cold wind, it was heartbreaking to watch them. They should be heroes! They should be admired by everyone, but now they are living the hardest life.
Tian An's eyes were red. He looked at Zhao Yiming, said hello to Uncle Yonghui and the others, and followed them.
