Not having enough stones, she went to the foot of the mountain and picked up some more.
It took Jiang Yue a whole day to build these roads. In order to finish them as quickly as possible, she didn't even go home for lunch.
Once these paths are finished, planting vegetables will be much faster. Then she'll gather some branches and build a fence around the vegetable patch to keep out the pheasants and rabbits from the mountain.
In the afternoon, after Lu Jingnian got off work, he went home and didn't see Jiang Yue, so he guessed that Jiang Yue must have gone to the fields.
The sun was already setting, and it was getting dark.
When Lu Jingnian arrived, he saw Jiang Yue still busy in the field.
The vegetable garden, which was still quite messy after being turned over yesterday, now has several stone paths laid out, dividing it into several irregular grids. The soil in each grid has been turned over again, unlike other people's vegetable gardens which are so haphazard. Even though no vegetables have been planted yet, their vegetable garden already looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yue finished turning over the last patch of soil and turned around to see Lu Jingnian walking towards her.
"Lu Jingnian, you're off work now. I've just finished mine too. How do you think it turned out?"
Jiang Yue, carrying her tools, strode up to Lu Jingnian, her bright, glassy eyes looking at him as if to say, "Praise me! Praise me!"
Lu Jingnian couldn't help but laugh.
"You've done a better job on this vegetable garden than I expected. It's beyond my expectations. Did you do it all by yourself?" Lu Jingnian asked.
Jiang Yue nodded immediately, "Of course, it took me a whole day to finish it."
After saying that, Jiang Yue took Lu Jingnian's hand and pointed to the vegetable plots divided into several sections in front of her, "I plan to plant bok choy in this area, lettuce in this area, and radishes in this area..."
She had planned out every vegetable patch.
"This place is right next to the mountain. I've put a lot of stones here so I can build a trellis with some branches. I'll plant some green beans and cucumbers here next spring."
Jiang Yue became more and more excited as she spoke. Ever since leaving the orphanage and starting to make her own way in society, she had really wanted to buy a house with a yard so she could sunbathe, grow vegetables, and raise flowers in her spare time...
The day Jiang Yue won the lottery, she had already planned where to buy a villa, but then...
Thinking of her 30 million, Jiang Yue felt her heart ache again.
Jiang Yue, who had just been excitedly telling him what vegetables to plant next year, suddenly wore a sad expression. Lu Jingnian felt a sudden panic. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
She did so much work by herself today, she must be exhausted.
It's all his fault. He knew Jiang Yue needed to tend the vegetable garden, so he should have come back earlier to help.
"No."
Jiang Yue suppressed the grief of losing 30 million and smiled at Lu Jingnian, "Lu Jingnian, I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future."
More than 30 million.
Losing 30 million is nothing; she'll earn it back double, dozens of times, hundreds of times over.
Waaah... But it really hurts.
"I trust you."
Lu Jingnian smiled and ruffled Jiang Yue's hair, taking the farm tools from her hands. He thought to himself that his wife seemed to really like money, so he would have to earn more money in the future.
We absolutely cannot let Jiang Yue show that sad expression again.
"Let's go home."
Lu Jingnian held something in one hand and Jiang Yue's hand in the other. "You rest at home tomorrow. When I get back, I'll go and plant the vegetables."
Jiang Yue was busy all day today, and he was really worried that she would be exhausted.
“Growing vegetables isn’t tiring. I can plant all the seeds in one morning. Aren’t you going to have an assessment soon? You don’t need to come back early just for this little thing.”
Jiang Yue disagreed with Lu Jingnian's approach. It was her responsibility to plant the vegetables. Lu Jingnian had already finished the most tiring work these past few days, so she could take care of the rest. She couldn't let these things interfere with Lu Jingnian's training.
Back home, Jiang Yue washed her hands, carried the stool she had taken from Yuan Yuan's house yesterday, grabbed a bag of biscuits, and went upstairs.
Grandma Yuanyuan was cooking when she heard Jiang Yue arrive, so she quickly turned off the stove and came out.
"Auntie, thank you for lending me the stool yesterday. These cookies are for Yuanyuan, please accept them."
"You're too kind, child."
Grandma Yuanyuan felt embarrassed to accept Jiang Yue's cookies; when Jiang Yue came yesterday, she brought them vegetables instead.
"Auntie, this is for Yuanyuan, you must accept it."
Jiang Yue didn't give Grandma Yuanyuan a chance to refuse and directly stuffed the biscuit into her hand.
"You child..."
Grandma Yuanyuan was amused by Jiang Yue. "Alright, Auntie Biscuit will accept it this time, but if you're so polite next time, Auntie won't talk to you anymore, and she won't let Yuanyuan play with you either."
Grandma Yuanyuan could easily tell that Jiang Yue brought the cookies to thank her for helping her carry things today. "Wait here, I'll go get the chicken for you."
Soon, Grandma Yuanyuan brought out the chicken she had bought that day for Jiang Yue and gave her five yuan and eighty cents.
"Today, chicken is 1.2 yuan per jin. This chicken weighs 3.6 jin, but the owner charged me 3.5 jin, so it's 4.2 yuan in total."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Because she still needed to prepare medicinal cuisine for Lu Jingnian, Jiang Yue spoke a few words with everyone and soon learned to call out.
When she got back, Lu Jingnian was already cooking. He made dumpling soup and stir-fried two other dishes.
Jiang Yue cleaned the chicken and waited for Lu Jingnian to finish cooking. She then started stewing the medicinal food, and the two of them went to the living room to eat together.
