"Okay, you can rest for now, I'll keep going."
Lin Chaosheng wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced at the sun, and said, "It'll be dark soon. Let's set up all the wood here and head back. We can build the greenhouse tomorrow."
"Okay, let's ask Mom to make us some cold noodles tonight, or even just cold mixed noodles. I feel like I'm about to get heatstroke."
Lin Shansheng got up from the ground, and Lin Chaosheng smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Don't worry, I already had Mom put two big watermelons in the well water. You'll have plenty to eat when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shansheng's eyes lit up. He felt an inexhaustible supply of energy, and the thought of that cool and delicious watermelon made him forget the heat.
"Brother, do you think this is what they call 'quenching thirst by looking at plums'? Now, just thinking about the big watermelon in the well water, even though I haven't eaten it yet, makes the sun feel less hot."
"You think you're so knowledgeable and eloquent? You're still trying to quench your thirst with wishful thinking. Hurry up and finish it. The sun is about to set; it's a normal reaction."
Lin Chaosheng took the wooden board and lightly tapped his buttocks, signaling him to hurry up and get to work and stop slacking off.
Meanwhile, Zhao Shufang and the others were also busy at home.
"This bowl will be used to make a large mixed salad one day, and this bowl will be used to make a seafood salad one day."
Zhao Shufang was giving instructions from the side, and Lin Shanhai asked in surprise, "What's that 'lao zhi xiao hai si' (a type of seafood dish)? What's this new way of eating it?"
"This is what our son specifically told us before he left. He said we wouldn't eat or sell those shrimp and clams because they'd spoil by then, so it's better to make our own seafood sauce. He told me the recipe a million times before he left, I'm so tired of hearing it."
Zhao Shufang.
He kept grumbling, but he was actually overjoyed inside. His son was a real treasure; not only could he earn money, but he could also research how to cook all sorts of food.
With her son's various suggestions, her breakfast stall business has been getting better and better. She can't keep up with demand every day, and she wishes she could grow eight hands to run the business.
"I've figured it out. You like your son more than you like me now."
Lin Shanhai stood in the courtyard, holding something in his hand, and sighed.
After hearing this, Su Hang and the others exchanged smiles, thinking that the old couple had a really good relationship.
"You old bastard, what are you saying in front of the child? How old are you? Have you no shame!"
Although Zhao Shufang was cursing and making gestures as if to hit Lin Shanhai, she actually felt quite pleased to hear what Lin Shanhai said.
After all, women of all ages love their husbands and want them to express their love.
"How old is she? She's still jealous of her son. It's so shameful!"
"And our son even made me gold jewelry. What did you buy for your old mother? I worked so hard to give birth to two sons who are this big, and I've been with you for so many years, taking care of all the housework. I'm good at everything, and I've never seen you make me a single piece of gold jewelry."
"Hey, you wouldn't have been able to produce two such outstanding sons if you weren't brainy! And if I had the abilities of these two little rascals, I would have already built a golden palace for you."
"Get out of here! Stop spouting nonsense and making empty promises. Get to work! If your two sons come back hungry, they'll have to have a good meal. If they go hungry, I'll beat you to a pulp today!"
Watching the elderly couple bickering, Liang Fu felt a pang of envy in her eyes and whispered in her sister's ear, "Sister, I feel like I see what you and your husband will be like when you're old in Auntie and her husband."
Not only Liang Fu saw it, but Liang Mei herself also saw it.
Just thinking about what Lin Chaosheng and I will be like when we're old, living a simple and peaceful life, bickering every day, makes me very happy. Just thinking about it makes me feel joyful and happy. When we're surrounded by our children and grandchildren, life will be so wonderful.
"Oh dear, come quick, is this rabbit pregnant again?"
Su Hang's shocked voice came from the side. Everyone rushed over to check. Zhao Shufang looked at each one one by one and exclaimed, "This isn't just one pregnancy, it's clearly two pregnancies!"
"You old fool, I told you long ago that rabbits should be separated into different cages from a young age, but you didn't! You're so lazy!"
"Look at this, the male and female rabbits are growing up together now. Isn't this a disaster? All the female rabbits are pregnant now. I think it's really going to be like what Chaosheng said, we'll have to open a rabbit farm!"
Zhao Shufang was furious with Lin Shanhai and grabbed his ear with one hand while cursing him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, that hurts so much! You old hag, you really hit me hard!"
Lin Shanhai kept crying out in pain as he covered his ear, which was being twisted by Zhao Shufang.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing? I could hear my dad yelling in pain from far away!"
Lin Shansheng and Lin Chaosheng walked into the courtyard and saw their father covering his ears, so they knew he must have been scolded by their mother.
"Serves him right for spoiling you all. Look at those little rabbits, they're all pregnant from their first heat. What are we going to do? Are we really going to open a breeding farm?"
Zhao Shufang said angrily.
"What? Did I hear that right? All the female rabbits are pregnant?"
Lin Shansheng looked at Zhao Shufang with a blank expression, then ran to the rabbit cage to check the rabbits, and found that they were indeed pregnant.
"It's only been a few months, and they're already pregnant again. That's incredibly fast! I'd only ever heard that rabbits are quick to incubate their litters, but now that it's happening to me, I'm amazed at how fast it goes."
Lin Shansheng stood there in shock, while Lin Chaosheng put down what he was holding and walked to the rabbit cage.
"Dad, how many babies will there be in this litter after our rabbits have given birth?"
Lin Shanhai knew he had done something wrong, so he hung his head. After hearing Lin Chaosheng's question, he did some mental calculations before saying, "There should be about sixty or seventy of them."
Su Hang was shocked when he heard this, his mouth agape, not expecting there to be so many.
Zhao Shufang: "Hmph, you old geezer, you're useless no matter what I ask you to do!"
"Alright, Mom, stop criticizing Dad. He's been working himself to the bone all day. In the morning, he had to deliver fish and shrimp to the state-run restaurant for me, and after he got back, he had to go over the construction work at the house. How can a person do so many things in a day and be able to handle everything perfectly!"
Zhao Shufang knew this, but she was just being cheeky and didn't mean any harm.
"And this might actually be a good thing."
Lin Chaosheng said with a smile, and everyone immediately looked at him upon hearing this.
