In contrast to Huo Houming's current poverty and destitution, Gao Siming and his sister sat around the table with Li Nan and his wife, chatting and laughing happily.
On the first day off after the National Day holiday, after finishing this round of orange picking, Gao Zimin invited Li Nan and his wife to have dinner together at their orchard.
Since there was a car available to hitch a ride, even though it was just a Bora 120 worth tens of thousands of yuan, Gao Siming naturally figured he might as well take it.
Today's main dish is roasted whole lamb. Gao Zimin invited a master chef from the village to slaughter the lamb, build an earthen stove, and then...
Gao Siming never expected that he, who came here to freeload off his sister's meal, would end up becoming the chef.
"Ah Ming, people should move around more, especially since you've just recovered from a serious illness. You should move around more, otherwise it would be a pity to lose your cooking skills!"
After Gao Zimin finished speaking, without waiting for Gao Siming to complain, she pulled Qin Wen into the house to eat sunflower seeds.
Gao Siming was extremely frustrated. He had lunch at home with Li Nan and the other person. After traveling more than 100 kilometers to his hometown, he still couldn't escape the fate of being a cook!
"Xiaowen, men shouldn't be spoiled. They need to learn how to use resources effectively! The capable should do more!"
Qin Wen chuckled, "Sister is right, from now on, Little Li will take care of all the housework!"
Li Nan originally wanted to go inside with Qin Wen and the other woman to hide, since he couldn't cook. But after listening to the conversation between the two beauties, he realized something was wrong. He would be criticized if he went in. No way!
As soon as I turned my head, I saw Gao Siming's resentful eyes in the yard, and a trace of black coal ash on his face.
"Hey Li, you idiot, stop standing there and come help out!"
"I can't!"
Do you know how to move firewood? Do you know how to add fuel to a fire?
Since Gao Siming won the lottery and had money in his hands, he has not forgotten his old house in his hometown.
Although the two siblings no longer lived there, Gao Siming, who had too much money to burn, still demolished the old house and built a new three-story house on the original site of his old home.
The new house was built strictly according to the stipulated 120 square meters, only slightly more than double or triple the original size.
There are quite a few rooms, and the area is large, but compared to Gao Siming's spacious courtyard where he can let loose, the rooms do seem a bit small.
After all, the courtyard isn't included in the 120 square meter building area, so if you have the money, just build as much as you want!
In the end, this new Gao family compound was enclosed by a courtyard of nearly two acres.
The courtyard is planted with many fruit trees, and now that it's the perfect season, the trees are laden with all kinds of red, yellow, and golden fruits.
With the courtyard getting bigger, the instinct to grow vegetables can't be forgotten. Gao Zimin, who often lives in this courtyard, has planted almost all the vegetables she likes, and is just short of building a few off-season greenhouses.
At that moment, Gao Siming and Li Nan were busy in the yard.
Gao Zimin led Qin Wen to the open-air balcony on the second floor, brewed some tea, and then the two of them looked down at the two men busy in the courtyard.
Of course, Gao Siming was the one who was busy, while Li Nan was just there to cause trouble. But as long as this gluttonous girl wasn't idle, Gao Siming was happy to keep her busy.
Looking at her husband's clumsy movements downstairs, Qin Wen felt a little embarrassed. It was so embarrassing! They were both from the countryside, but how could her stupid husband be so different from Gao Ge?
Unable to bear watching her husband deodorize any longer, Qin Wen simply stopped watching and chatted with Gao Zimin about their close friendship.
As we chatted, the conversation naturally turned to Gao Zimin's current life.
"Sister, it must be so hard for you to manage these dozens of acres of oranges all by yourself!"
"People don't know how capable they are until they push themselves! Actually, with advanced technology now, managing fruit trees is not as troublesome as it used to be."
When talking about her career, Gao Zimin became even more excited and chatted with Qin Wen about her achievements over the past two years.
This kind of life, while not as brain-intensive as Qin Wen's lab, is not so boring either. Especially in August and September each year, seeing the autumn fruits hanging on the branches, the sense of accomplishment is no less than that of Qin Wen and her team solving cases.
"What? Sister, you're saying that oranges are selling so well right now because of Brother Gao?"
Speaking of the transformation of the cherry blossom red orange, Gao Zimin naturally has to mention Gao Siming's contribution. Now that the Stability Department and the food safety department have cleared the orange's name, Gao Zimin naturally has to show off her younger brother to her best friend.
"That's right, this 520 fertilizer not only has a great name, but its effects are also outstanding. Look, the oranges now are very different from the ones we ate when we were kids, aren't they?"
"Indeed, the oranges are now a brighter red, and they taste really good too!"
"That's right, my brother is amazing!"
"Brother Gao didn't study tea, so how do you know about fertilizers?"
"Xiaowen, tea leaves don't just grow out of thin air, they have to be planted. I heard that their school has a really great chemistry teacher, and he taught A-Ming his tea-growing class!"
"So that's how it is! Brother Gao, this is what they call 'do one thing, love it, and master it'!" Qin Wen said aloud, but in her heart she thought to herself.
"Brother Gao is really amazing!"
Qin Wen isn't stupid; she said she wouldn't mention her conversation with Sister Zi to Li Nan today.
Although the food poisoning incident on the pedestrian street has been considered closed, if Li Nan and An Dingsi find out that this fertilizer, which should be harmless, was first suggested by Brother Gao, who knows what other trouble it might cause.
Of course, she didn't dare to remind Gao Zimin, otherwise it would only cause Zimin more worry.
Back in the courtyard, Gao Siming was mainly in charge of cooking the whole roasted lamb. He marinated the lamb while turning it over from time to time to ensure it was heated more evenly.
