Chapter 486 I'm Old, But You're Not



"nothing."

Fu Wenjing smiled and shook his head, "I just think it's great to have you around."

Su Ruanruan also laughed when she heard this, "What a coincidence, I think so too."

The two people smiled at each other.

Just then, the sound of children making a noise suddenly rang out.

"Mom and Dad are showing off their love again!"

The four little kids chattered away, their laughter almost piercing through the clouds.

Of course, the person who said this was none other than the quadruplets.

No matter how obedient a child is, he will dislike cats and dogs when he reaches a certain age.

The smarter a child is, the more naughty he will become when he reaches a certain age.

For example, the quadruplets nowadays are obedient and well-behaved most of the time.

But as long as they are children, they are bound to be naughty sometimes.

Whenever she saw them at this time, Su Runrun was glad that they were lively and healthy, but at the same time she hated them to the core.

Over the past few years, Su Ruanruan has lived with them day and night, and has always been gentle and tolerant to them. Even if Su Ruanruan has a stern face now, they are not afraid.

Su Ruanruan is destined to be a kind mother, so the role of the strict father can only be given to Fu Wenjing.

Fortunately, this is something Fu Wenjing is very good at.

They don't need any learning. As long as he puts on a stern face and shows the same momentum as when he trains his soldiers, and glances at them, the quadruplets will be as obedient as quails.

The four of them stood in a row in an instant, their lips tightly pursed and their bodies stretched straight. Su Runrun felt helpless and amused at the same time.

However, children cannot be spoiled blindly.

Su Ruanruan just stood aside and watched, without disturbing Fu Wenjing from educating them.

After all, they were outside, so Fu Wenjing didn't say much. He just glared at them and told them to follow him home obediently.

On the way back, Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan were still in low spirits.

It was not until two days later, with the quadruplets always by their side, that the old couple's mood gradually improved.

Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan are getting older, and Fu Siya and Fu Wuwa used to stay at home from time to time to take care of them.

Now that the two of them have left, there are only two old people left in the huge yard.

After Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing discussed it, they both felt uneasy and simply moved out of the military compound.

This did not have much impact on Su Ruanruan herself. When the quadruplets went to elementary school, she had to ride her tricycle to take them to school.

For Fu Wenjing, the journey took a little longer.

But their whole family is with the two elders and will not let Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan have a miserable old age, which is more important than anything else.

Although reform and opening up had not yet begun, by the summer of the following year, some places had already begun to divide up property and settle down.

Although they haven't started yet, they have already received the news.

Su Ruanruan has been waiting for this day, so she has been asking around.

When she finally heard the news, Su Runrun immediately took out all her savings.

She wants to take advantage of the current cheapest prices to contract wasteland and hillsides and build her own farm.

Su Ruanruan had discussed this idea with Fu Wenjing before, and Fu Wenjing had no objection.

After talking to Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan, the two elders were very supportive and said that after the contract was finally signed, they would help with reclaiming wasteland, planning, and planting.

The two elders have been farming for most of their lives and have a deeper understanding of the land than Su Runrun.

With them helping her, Su Ruanruan felt happy and relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, time has passed and it is already 80 years.

Su Runrun successfully contracted 100 acres of wasteland and several connected barren hills.

All added up, there are several hundred acres.

It would be impossible for such a large area to be cleaned out by just a few of them.

Fortunately, with the reform and opening up, it is no longer difficult to hire people to work.

As long as the wages are good, there are many people willing to work.

Su Ruanruan invited people from several nearby teams to help with the reclamation.

There were too many people and it was too troublesome to cook for them, so Su Runrun did not provide lunch and just increased the wages a little bit.

With strength in numbers, all the wasteland was cleared in just two months.

Su Ruanruan had already planned in advance what to plant and where to plant.

In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, Su Runrun and Fu Wenjing went to the contracted wasteland together and took out all the fruit trees they had bought on the gold rush.

There were so many fruit trees that the two of them worked for an hour or two before they finally sorted all the fruit trees out in batches, waiting to be planted the next day.

It would cost a lot of money to buy so many fruit trees.

After buying the bulletproof vest, the balance on the gold rush account was no longer sufficient.

But when Fu Wenjing came back from completing his mission, he had a bag full of gold, silver and jade items.

In the days that followed, Su Ruanruan would visit the waste recycling station every time she went to the county or city, and found a lot of treasures there.

Keep the ones you like, and sell the ones you don’t like on Gold Rush.

Even after buying so many fruit trees, the balance on the gold rush is still very considerable.

The next morning, the villagers who came to work were shocked to see so many fruit trees.

Su Runrun only said that these fruit trees were transported here in the middle of the night, and they were transporting and unloading at the same time, so the speed was quite fast.

After hearing this explanation, the villagers accepted it without any doubt.

After all, apart from this explanation, they couldn't think of any other possibilities.

The planting of fruit trees is relatively quick. In less than a week, several barren hills were planted with fruit trees.

As for the wasteland, Su Runrun simply scattered corn seeds on it at this season.

Planting corn can help her cultivate the land, and then she can start planting melons in the spring of next year.

After growing melons for several years, Su Runrun has gained a lot of experience in the middle view.

If the season didn't allow it, Su Runrun would have wanted to plant the melons right now.

Growing melons is easy, and the only thing Su Ruanruan needs to worry about is the sales channel.

After all, transportation is not as developed now as it will be in the future, so before planting melons, you have to think about how to sell them.

Otherwise, when the melons grow up but cannot be sold, that would be really heartbreaking.

Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing discussed it and decided on some plans, so they were no longer so worried.

Even if it really doesn't work, you can still sell it from the gold rush. No matter how much you make, you won't lose money at all.

The days went according to plan, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

The quadruplets were ten years old at this time.

They start school relatively early, and primary school only lasts for five years. After this summer vacation, they will go to junior high school.

In this era, it is indeed a bit early to go to junior high school at this age.

All of their classmates were older than them, some were one or two years older, and some were three or four years older.

Although they are relatively young, Su Ruanruan is not worried at all that they will suffer any loss.

The quadruplets have been in the same class since they were young. I don’t know if it was intentional by the school or for some other reason.

But it is also good for them to study in the same class, after all, they can take care of each other.

In addition, all four of them were very smart and their grades were always very good, so there was nothing for Su Runrun to worry about.

Especially the youngest one, Xiao Si, probably because she is a girl, is extra considerate and is truly Su Ruanruan's caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Now Xiao Si is not only good at acting like a spoiled child, but also talks about her personal matters with Su Ruanruan and accompanies Su Ruanruan on tours of the farm.

On this day, Su Ruanruan was still patrolling the farm with Xiao Si.

Two people each rode a bicycle and slowly moved forward on the stone-paved path.

After several years of construction, the farm has changed a lot.

Initially the farm consisted of only melon fields and a fruit grove on the hill.

But now, there are more varieties of fruit trees on the mountain, each tree is lush and leafy, and there are also many other fruits, which are big and sweet.

Every year after they mature, they are packaged and shipped to various places, and the sales are very good.

Some of them are sold directly to nearby canning factories to be made into various canned fruits.

It can be said that their fruits are not only not unsellable, but on the contrary are in short supply.

In addition to these fruit trees, various melons are grown every year.

In addition to making money, Su Runrun also began to enjoy the mood of life.

She had people dig a pond, and the stream water brought down from the mountain would flow directly into the pond, and then continue to meander downwards from another outlet to irrigate the melon fields.

The pond is very large and is full of lotus flowers.

You can enjoy the lotus in summer and dig lotus roots in autumn.

There are many fish in the pond. If you want to eat fish, you don’t have to go out to buy them. You can catch them right after eating them. They are very fresh.

In order to facilitate the viewing of lotus flowers, a pavilion was built in the center of the pond, with a corridor where you can walk directly there or row a boat there.

A few hundred meters away from the pond, there are duck and goose houses.

These ducks and geese are free-range. They go to the pond to play by themselves every day. When it gets dark, they line up and go back to their homes, which has become a beautiful scenery on the farm.

Too many chickens will easily get sick, so I just fenced off a piece of mountain land and raised dozens of kilograms of free-range chickens. In addition to eating them at home, I can also give some to relatives and friends, or treat friends.

Su Runruan feels refreshed every day when she rides her bike around the farm and breathes the fresh air.

Even though the city is developing very rapidly and everyone is longing to move into the city, Su Runrun still likes to stay on the farm.

She was a time traveler and had seen all kinds of prosperous metropolises, but she preferred her current life.

Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan are getting older, but they are in very good spirits.

This farm, in particular, has won the hearts of both of them. Although there are endless things to do every day, they do not feel tired at all, but rather feel spiritually meaningful.

In them, the meaning of the saying that people need to have something to do is perfectly demonstrated.

Only when you have something to do and a goal can you have motivation.

As soon as they finished a circle, Su Ruanruan and Xiao Si rode their bikes together to their new home.

For convenience, they built a yard on the farm two years ago.

There is a two-story building in the courtyard. The courtyard is very large, with a pavilion, rockery, fountain, and an open-air dining table.

The design of this courtyard was drawn by Su Runrun and Fu Wenjing together. The main focus is on food, drink and entertainment, and everyone can do it in a comfortable way.

Although Fu Wenjing came here a little further, he now has a motorcycle and it is more comfortable to live here. He would rather spend more time on the road every day than live alone in the small courtyard over there.

Su Ruanruan and Xiao Si had just arrived in the yard when they saw Fu Wenjing grilling skewers.

It was summer, and Fu Wenjing, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a black apron, stood beside the barbecue grill, constantly flipping the skewers in his hands.

As he moved, the aroma of mutton wafted towards him.

They returned just in time and the mutton was already roasted.

Fu Wenjing sprinkled chili and cumin on it skillfully.

As soon as the seasoning was sprinkled on and roasted by the fire, the aroma increased several times.

Smelling the smell, Xiao Si couldn't wait to run over.

"Dad, is it ready? I want to eat a skewer."

Fu Wenjing picked up a handful and handed it to her, "Go over there and eat with your grandparents. Be careful not to burn yourself."

"Okay!"

Xiao Si agreed and left with the skewers in his arms.

Only then did Su Ruanruan slowly walk over and stop opposite Fu Wenjing.

"Honey, do you want me to bake with you?"

Fu Wenjing looked over with a smile on his face, "Of course. Wife, you stay by my side and give me instructions. When you're not here, I always feel that the taste of the baked food is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Without you, nothing tastes right."

Su Ruanruan took two more steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fu Wenjing beside the grill.

"Then let's roast together until we grow old."

Fu Wenjing looked at Su Ruanruan with a smile, "Let's grill together. I'm old but you're not."

The two of them were grilling various skewers together. Under a pavilion not far away, Fu Chunshan and Wang Maoni sat side by side. Opposite them were Fu Siwa, Fu Wuwa, and Fu Siya who had returned from vacation.

The three of them have already grown up. Although they have not yet started a family, they are all doing well in their respective fields.

Most of the year, they are away from home busy with their work and careers.

Although I seldom come back, every time I come back, it makes this yard more lively.

Around them, the quadruplets were running around busily, handing one a skewer of barbecue and another a piece of fruit.

Su Ruanruan glanced over there, then turned to look at Fu Wenjing beside her.

Even though they have been married for many years, his appearance seems to have not changed at all.

Marriage has never been the end, and it isn't now.

Su Runrun believes that in the days to come, they will still accompany each other and grow old together.
