The Chinese nation has the genes of farming and vegetable growing running in its bones. It seems that when people reach a certain age, they automatically unlock some skills that they disdained when they were young.
For example, growing flowers and vegetables!
When Ning Yu was young, she was busy with work and taking care of children and had no time to think about growing vegetables. Now that she is older and has some free time, she thinks about the small vegetable garden of the Bao family and her interest suddenly arises.
"Just tell me if you can do it."
"Yes, of course. Leave it to me." Si Lu agreed immediately. "I just happened to be on vacation. I can finish it in a few days and even plant the vegetables."
Ning Yu expressed satisfaction, "Okay, it's settled, let's do it tomorrow."
There were a lot of farm tools lying in Jiang Yan's space, but it was not easy to take them out openly. She glanced at Si Lu, as if giving him some secret signal.
Si Lu got it in seconds, "Then I'll go out for a walk tomorrow, borrow some farm tools, dig up the ground first, and then re-plan it."
"It's hard to walk on rainy days, so we still need to build a path in the middle."
The yard is not big, so it needs to be well planned to maximize its use.
"Well, don't worry, I'll go draw after dinner."
After dinner, Si Lu didn't have time to wash the dishes before Si Guangming called him to the study. The two of them stayed in the study and talked for more than an hour before coming out.
There was only a small lamp left on in the hall. The old man had less and less work to do and basically lived a retired life, going to bed early and getting up early.
The two little guys have a very regular life. Ning Yu and Si Xinnian coax them into washing up early and lying down to sleep.
The lights on the second floor were still on. Si Lu went upstairs and gently pushed open the door. Jiang Yan was not asleep yet. She was reading a book with great interest, and occasionally she would use a pen to make a few marks on the book.
"What are you looking at?"
"Professional books, can you understand them?"
Si Lu took it and looked at it, his brows immediately frowned, "Please forgive me!" Particles and quantum, he couldn't understand it.
"Hey, why did your uncle give you a day off? Did the rumors spread so fiercely that they set your unit on fire?"
"That's a bit of what he meant! Uncle meant for me to stay out of the spotlight for a while."
Jiang Yan snorted and fell on him. "Is it that Song Jiaojiao who did it? I'll tell you, you can attract bad luck in love."
"It's her, and it's not her."
"What do you mean?"
Si Lu played with the ends of her hair and said absentmindedly, "Besides her, there are others. The term is about to change, and there are dangers everywhere. I, your man, am now a target, and everyone wants to shoot arrows at me."
Jiang Yan was amused by his description and couldn't stop laughing. "If you are not envied by others, you are mediocre. This proves that my man is great! But seriously, you really do nothing at home, just grow vegetables?"
Si Lu bent down and kissed her, "Sometimes, doing nothing is the best defense."
"That makes sense. Oh, by the way, when I got home from get off work today, I happened to see Mrs. Geng gossiping about you to others. She was so excited that she even said that you have a child."
Si Lu was so angry, "Do you think she is free?"
"That's right, so, I taught her a lesson this time."
"How did you teach him?"
Jiang Yan quickly got up and said, "Of course I beat her up."
This time it was Si Lu who was surprised, "Did they do it?"
"Haven't you noticed? This Geng girl is a piece of shit. It's useless to reason with her. She'll just go for it. So, just go for it. Two slaps on her face and she'll be quiet right away."
Si Lu chuckled helplessly. Those two slaps from her were too much for even a thug, not to mention Mrs. Geng. If he couldn't control his strength, his teeth might have been knocked out.
"I'm holding back. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a swollen face."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will come to your door?"
"Who's afraid of who? She's in the wrong, and she probably doesn't even dare to tell her family. It's not enough to embarrass her. Also, I saw Yuan Yuan."
Who is Yuan Yuan?
Si Lu looked puzzled, wondering why he was bringing up someone else out of the blue.
As soon as Jiang Yan saw his expression, she knew that Si Lu had misidentified the person and didn't know who Yuan Yuan was.
"Mrs. Geng's daughter-in-law, Xiaoyu's mother."
"Oh." After saying this, I remembered that there was indeed such a person.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I told her about Mrs. Geng, and told her that as a mother-in-law, she contacts people she shouldn't contact every day, and makes mistakes both big and small. Don't let her ruin the whole family alone. Don't forget that her husband is still in the army! If Song Jiaojiao's identity as a spy is confirmed, can her son Daqiang still stay in the army?"
It’s true.
"But, I think Yuan Yuan is too cowardly. If she could really persuade Mrs. Geng, Xiaoyu wouldn't have been ignored for such a long time. Most likely, it will end in nothing."
Jiang Yan really said it, at this moment Yuan Yuan was wiping tears in the house!
When she got off work, she listened to Jiang Yan's words and thought about coming back to persuade her mother-in-law not to make an irreparable mistake, because it would be too late then.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Geng did not appreciate it at all. She thought Yuan Yuan was bewitched by Jiang Yan and scolded her.
The more Yuan Yuan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. However, she had been oppressed by her mother-in-law for so long that she had become accustomed to swallowing her anger. In addition, her husband and she lived apart and there was no one to speak for her, so she could only cry alone in the house.
At this time, Mrs. Geng and Yuan Yuan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the two enemies, have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem...
The next morning, Jiang Yan and Si Xinnian went out together. The aunt and sister-in-law rode their bikes to work, and Si Lu went to borrow farm tools.
It was said to be borrowing, but in fact it was just a walk outside, and then pushing the farm tools in the cart that Jiang Yan had prepared in the space to the house to cross the road.
"Wow, so many tools, and a wheelbarrow, who did you borrow it from?"
"Borrow two from each family. No one family can have so many. Mom, I need to dismantle Xiaobai's nest first."
Xiaobai, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly jumped up from the nest, ran outside and called out to Si Lu twice, sounding a little lacking in confidence.
Ning Yu laughed, "This dog is really smart. As soon as it heard that you were going to destroy its nest, it immediately refused to do it."
"Don't worry, I'll build you a bigger one. We'll have a garden at home."
Although it's just a small garden, Ning Yu is very happy about it.
Even the old man was happy. He asked someone to put a chair at the door and watched Si Lu digging the ground with great interest. Even his guards were sent out to work.
The two men worked quickly. In less than two hours, the cement floor was completely dug up. They used a small truck to transport cement blocks out one truck after another, and then turned over the ground in the yard.
"This soil is not good. We need to add some good soil to pad it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to grow vegetables."
After working for a whole afternoon, Si Lu and the guard were both thirsty and tired. They ate, slept for an hour, and continued working in the afternoon.
This time I'm going to get some fertile soil to fill the yard...
