"Hey, Dad!"
"You mean those antiques? Do you think my eye for quality is bad? They're definitely all genuine!"
"It didn't cost much, Dad, don't be sad. Or I'll give you all my stuff?"
"I'm not kidding, it's all yours!"
"You can decide what to do with those things. I'm not particularly interested in antiques. If Dad likes them, he can keep them for his collection. If he doesn't, he can just sell them!"
"That's all for now. I need to accompany my uncle to the tea plantation, so I'll stop chatting now. Bye-bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xue continued to help her great-uncle walk towards the back mountain.
"What are you talking about antiques? Let me tell you, little girl, the antique business is a very complicated one. You young people shouldn't get involved so easily!"
My great-uncle is in very good health now. He goes hiking every day or goes to the fields to watch the farmers grow vegetables.
Unlike back in the city, where I could only stay indoors or in a small garden every day.
There's not even enough space for him to wander around. Besides, where can steel and concrete compare to the lush greenery that makes people feel happy?
"Those are some things we bought at the ghost market the other night when we went back from the hospital!"
"I bought about seven or eight items, all of them are genuine. My dad also bought about ten things, but unfortunately they were all fake. He called me crying about it!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not interested in antiques. I just happened to come across them, and it didn't cost me much. I'm just buying them for fun!"
"There's nothing as interesting about collecting antiques as my manor. My secretary said our strawberries have already borne fruit, and we'll be able to enjoy delicious strawberries in a few days!"
"Uncle, please remember this for me. Let's go pick strawberries and eat them together later!"
An old man and a young boy walked and chatted.
The topic quickly shifted back to the agricultural products of Beicheng Manor.
"The vegetables are growing quite fast, but I wonder if these fruit trees will bear fruit next year!"
"Look at these straight little branches, when will they grow into towering trees?"
Now, my great-uncle eats agricultural products from the Chengbei Manor every day.
He no longer eats the special-supply food from outside, because he feels that the vegetables from Chengbei Manor don't taste as good as the special-supply food.
Moreover, the vegetables here are all supplied to their own people. He had also seen the pesticides used in the manor, which were all pure Chinese medicine plus wood ash. Although they had the effect of killing insects, they were not harmful to humans.
Moreover, many mosquito-repelling herbs are planted next to the vegetable garden. These herbs not only repel mosquitoes but can also be made into sachets.
It's much safer than pesticides.
Even this insect repellent was rarely used at the North City Manor. The old uncle only knew that it existed, but he had never seen anyone spray it.
With Lin Xue's adorable girls in charge, those pests simply don't dare to enter the North City Manor.
These adorable creatures are invisible to ordinary people; only Lin Xue, their owner, can sense them.
After strolling around for a while, the two finally felt satisfied and leisurely returned to the farm.
Just when Lin Xue thought she would spend the day playing chess and chatting with her great-uncle, her great-uncle suddenly received a phone call, and his expression turned serious.
"Little girl, an old friend of mine wants to come and stay here for a few days. I wonder if it's convenient for you to stay here?"
When Mr. Lin said these words, his face was very serious, as if this was a very important matter.
"Since they are Uncle's friends, let them come. Anyway, we don't have much else here, but we have plenty of rooms!"
Lin Xue heard that it was her great-uncle's friend who was coming to stay. This wasn't the first time, so what was there to be surprised about?
She didn't take it seriously, but what her great-uncle didn't tell her was that his friend was on the verge of death.
They had heard that their great-uncle's health had improved after he came to the manor, so they sent him over as a last resort.
Lin Xue received instructions from her great-uncle to personally prepare a large suite for her friend.
This large suite has two bedrooms, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.
It's located on the left side of the second floor, while Old Lin lives on the right side of the second floor.
This is also because Old Man Lin is getting old, so Lin Xue did not arrange a high-class residence for him.
Besides, Lin Xue's small building was only three stories high.
It was also thanks to the power of money that the building was completed in just over two months.
Although it has a low number of floors, it occupies a large area.
The chess and card room and teahouse are all on the first floor, while the farm restaurant is in the building next door.
It wasn't until Old Lin's friend arrived that Lin Xue realized just how bad his health had become.
The old woman was already halfway to her death, and Lin Xue had no choice but to secretly pour her a bowl of spiritual spring water so that she wouldn't die on their farm.
Amazingly, after the old woman drank the diluted spring water, she regained some energy and kept complaining that she was hungry.
This surprised and delighted the elderly woman's family members who had come with her, and they immediately went to the neighboring farm restaurant to order food.
After a flurry of activity, the old woman finished her meal and fell into a deep sleep.
Where are there any signs of life-threatening condition that he had at home?
Speaking of this old lady, she is also a big shot.
They are on the same level as Old Lin. They were friends before. It was only after the other side heard that Old Lin was recuperating here in exceptionally good health that they went to great lengths to ask Old Lin to intercede on their behalf, allowing their old lady to come and stay for a while.
Because of this incident, Lin Xue's North City Manor became a popular health resort.
Many elderly people are scrambling to get into the North City Manor.
This put Lin Xue in a difficult position. All she wanted was to build a manor so she could live a carefree life.
But now it's developing into a nursing home trend, with all these big shots trying to squeeze in here, but she really doesn't want to be someone else's granddaughter and take care of the elderly every day!
Lin Xue was unhappy, she was extremely unhappy!
Lin Xue was sitting under the grape trellis, sulking, while Old Master Lin and the later Old Lady Chu were sitting beside her, trying to persuade the young girl and work on her mindset.
"Little girl, look, you won't lose out by letting those old guys come and live here!"
"With us old guys protecting you, you can walk sideways not only in H City, but throughout the entire agricultural country!"
"Besides, why do you, a young girl, like peace and quiet so much? A young girl should be more energetic and make more friends!"
"Making friends with young, incapable people is the same as making friends with us old folks. Don't underestimate us just because we're old; we still have a lot of influence!"
The two elderly people took turns trying to instill in Lin Xue the idea of currying favor with powerful figures.
Although what they said made a lot of sense, Lin Xue was not moved.
