"Look, this isn't an Ultraman image, is it? This is a handwritten receipt, one of a kind in the world, extremely precious!"
Li Muxing gritted her teeth and smiled, then took a few deep breaths, as if her chest had been stabbed hard by the gifts from her younger brothers.
It's hard to breathe...
"Great! This is a wonderful gift! I love it!"
"Look, my brother praised my gift! I told you, mine is definitely much better than yours!"
After hearing Li Muhao's words, Li Muxing could only describe her younger brother with one word: shameless!
"Hey, where's the gift from Yanbao? Big brother, why did you put it away? Open it and let us see!"
As soon as Li Mufeng opened his mouth to talk about Xiao Yanbao's gift, Li Muxing slapped him hard on the back.
"Fifth brother, I think you choked just now, let me pat you on the back!"
As Li Muxing spoke, she reached out to pat Li Mufeng's back again, but Li Mufeng dodged her with a quick movement.
"Brother, stop fooling around. It's your birthday today, you can't hit people, that's not right..."
Actually, these brothers deliberately took advantage of Li Muxing's inability to physically assault anyone, which is why they were able to recklessly create some bizarre birthday gifts.
Li Muxing glanced at her younger brothers, then said in a threatening tone...
"I wasn't hitting you, I was just trying to help you, don't you think?"
Led by Li Muchen, the younger brothers chuckled, then stepped forward, put their arms around Li Muxing's shoulders, and said with a hearty laugh.
"Yes, yes! Big brother, what meaningful thing are you taking us to do? Let's go quickly, we can't wait!"
It was the fourth sister, Li Muhan, who spoke first, followed by Xiao Yanbao urging her on.
"Big brother, what are you taking us to do?"
Xiao Yanbao wasn't in a hurry to let his older brother Li Muxing open the birthday gift he had given him, because it was a gift that he and his sister Su Meng had given him together, and it wasn't really appropriate for these brothers who were always causing trouble to know about it.
Li Muxing steadied herself, reached into her pocket and squeezed the heart-shaped letter Xiao Yanbao had given her, then pointed to the garden behind the manor.
"Let's plant some fruit trees, and hopefully next year our family's fruit production will depend on these trees, what do you say?"
Fruit trees?
The brothers were a little confused, and just as they were hesitating, Xiao Yanbao clapped his hands and shouted happily.
"Great! Great! I'm going to pick lots and lots of fruit to eat next year!"
Seeing that Xiao Yanbao liked his older brother's suggestion, everyone immediately laughed and echoed his sentiments. Then, laughing and joking, they walked to the garden behind the manor.
Gardeners were already placing the fruit trees one by one in the circled areas. After seeing Li Muxing arrive in the garden with the other young masters and Miss Yanbao, they immediately placed the prepared shovels and fertilizer in the pre-arranged locations.
After placing these items in the designated locations, all the staff quietly left the garden, leaving only Li Muxing and the others in the vast garden.
"Big brother, are we going to plant all these trees? But how do we start planting them?"
Li Muhao pointed to the fruit trees that had been arranged. At a rough estimate, there were at least forty or fifty trees. Just digging the holes for the trees would take an unknown amount of time, and none of the brothers knew how to plant them.
Li Muxing glanced at the expressions on his brothers' faces and noticed that they were mostly at a loss, but not annoyed. He then nodded slightly.
That's true. The most important thing that Grandpa and his uncles taught these brothers was to cultivate their character. They were bound to feel lost if they had never planted a tree before, but as long as they weren't impatient, it would be much better.
"Yes, we're going to plant all these trees today. I asked around, and these fruit trees will bloom next spring. Before autumn, we'll have peaches and apricots to eat, and then apples and pomegranates. There's a row of persimmon trees over there, so we can make persimmon preserves!"
Upon hearing the name of the fruit, the brothers' eyes lit up from time to time. They knew that the fruit they grew from the trees they had planted would be incredibly delicious.
Little Yanbao's eyes shone as she looked at the fruit trees. These fruits were all ones her mother had found for her from the mountains before, and the peaches were the most delicious of them.
"I want to plant more fruit trees so I can make lots and lots of canned goods!"
As Li Mufeng spoke, Xiao Yanbao also spoke up.
"Yes, we can also make some fruit wine for Grandpa and the uncles to drink!"
Li Muxing was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and was genuinely happy for his younger siblings. They had not picked up any of the bad habits of the children from large families, which was also a requirement that his grandfather had mentioned when educating his descendants.
Academic performance doesn't have to be good, but being a good person is the most important thing for the family.
This statement doesn't seem like a famous quote or anything particularly special, but this very simple statement points out the most fatal flaw in the inheritance of various families.
That is, a lack of family education for future generations, especially on why and how to be a person.
"Okay, me, Lao San, Lao Wu, and Yan Bao will be in one group, and the rest of you will be in another group. Let's dig the holes first, and after we finish digging this row of holes and planting the saplings, we'll dig the next row of holes."
"good!"
Everyone responded to their elder brother's words in unison. Then, they looked at the tree pits that the gardeners had dug as a demonstration, and followed suit, digging in the areas marked with circles.
Soon the brothers had dug the first tree pit, and Li Muxing carried Xiao Yanbao, whose hair was already soaked with sweat, to the front of the tree pit.
