Chapter 46 Returning to the Capital
Downstairs, Zuo Mingyang said, "I know your concerns. You can hire villagers to plant and harvest medicinal herbs. They have no other work and would be happy to do it if they could earn more income. You don't need to worry about tilling the land either, as there are machines available. There are very few things that will really trouble you."
Lin Yi'an said, "Aren't you even going to give me time to consider it?"
"What are you considering?"
Zhou Mingshi's voice rang out from behind.
The two turned around and saw Zhou Mingshi walk over and sit down on the chair next to Lin Yi'an.
Lin Yi'an said, "Zuo Mingyang persuaded me to contract land in the village to grow medicinal herbs. My family has already contracted quite a lot of land, but I have limited energy and time, and I also have to run a traditional Chinese medicine clinic..."
Zhou Mingshi asked gently, "Ignoring the issues of energy and time, would you like to contract more land to grow medicinal herbs?"
Without hesitation, Lin Yi'an replied, "Of course, I want to grow many medicinal herbs myself... even ordinary mugwort..."
Zhou Mingshi: "Then let's plant them."
Lin Yi'an looked at him and said, "If you don't have time, you can hire professionals to manage it. If you want to do it, then do it."
Lin Yi'an's eyes lit up: "I misunderstood at first. I thought this was the countryside and no one would want to come, but what if we offered a high salary?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Although this is the countryside, the mountains are beautiful, the water is clear, and the air is fresh. It's far from the hustle and bustle of the city. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to work here."
He had been here a few times and had come to like it. If he didn't have to work, he would prefer to stay in Changping with Yi'an.
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
Zhou Mingshi looked at Zuo Mingyang: "Please tell us how much land the village has, whether it's mountainous or flat land."
Zuo Mingyang said, "This matter will be completed soon."
Zhou Mingshi nodded.
After finishing his business, Zuo Mingyang tactfully left.
On the afternoon of the weekend, Zhou Mingshi was going back to the capital. Tuesday was an auspicious day that his grandfather had calculated, so Lin Yi'an naturally went back with him.
As for Wang Ma and Ye Lingzhi, Lin Yi'an will return after obtaining their marriage certificates, leaving them in Changping.
Knowing that Lin Yi'an was going to the capital for two days, the patients rushed over for treatment in the morning, fearing that it would delay their treatment. Lin Yi'an was busy in the treatment room all morning, and could only eat a few bites at lunchtime. After seeing off the last patient, they set off back to the capital.
As they got into the car, Zhou Mingshi handed them a piece of mousse cake: "Made by Aunt Wang."
Lin Yi'an was indeed a little hungry, so she took the food and ate it in small bites.
After she finished the cake, Zhou Mingshi handed her a water glass: "Have some water."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
After drinking a few sips of water, I took out a wet wipe to clean my hands and mouth, yawned, and leaned back in my chair, feeling drowsy.
Zhou Mingshi said, "If you're sleepy, recline the chair and take a nap."
After Lin Yi'an finished speaking, she closed her eyes.
Zhou Mingshi took a blanket from the side and covered her with it.
Seeing his boss's actions, Assistant Chen sighed inwardly. Someone who couldn't even take care of himself normally had suddenly learned to take care of his wife without any instruction. He thought that this might be a kind of innate talent.
After the car exited the highway, Assistant Chen asked, "Mr. Zhou, where are we going?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Wang Ma and Assistant Ye are in Changping, and there's no one to take care of Yi'an, so we're going back to the Zhou family's old house."
Assistant Chen responded while inwardly grumbling, "Wang Ma and Assistant Ye aren't here, but the Lin family has connections..."
The car drove all the way to the Zhou family's house. Lin Yi'an slept the whole way, except for getting out of the car once to go to the restroom.
She only slowly woke up when the car stopped: "Have we arrived?"
Zhou Mingshi helped her up: "You're still sleepy, why don't you go back to your room and sleep some more?"
Lin Yi'an: "She's awake."
It was already past nine o'clock. Usually, Zhou Qisheng and Yu Minhua would be asleep by now, but they hadn't rested yet.
Firstly, they were bothered by Sun Yurong and Zhou Mingyuan, and secondly, knowing that their second grandson and Yi'an were coming, they deliberately stayed up half an hour later.
Seeing Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an return, the two elderly people breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Minhua waved her hand and said to Sun Yurong and her son, "You should go back. If you don't rest, Mingshi and An'an will."
Butler Liu rushed over: "Second Young Master, Miss Lin, the meal is ready for you. Shall we eat now?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Bring it up."
When Sun Yurong saw Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an return, she could only try to pull her son away. But Zhou Mingyuan, having failed to achieve his goal, was unwilling to leave. He stood there, head held high, and said, "Mom, Shanshan is pregnant. I want to marry her. If you don't agree, I'll... I'll get a tubal ligation, so you can never be a grandmother..."
Sun Yurong swayed, clutching her chest, almost fainting. Was this the good son she had painstakingly given birth to and raised?
She gritted her teeth: "Fine, you can go if you want, but I'll never agree to let He Xishan into the family."
Zhou Mingyuan was very firm: "I'll go get my tubal ligated right now..."
