Chapter 8 Shang You, thank you for teaching me how to grow vegetables
"Xiao Shang, is this batch of goods okay? I asked the master to bring it into the city before dawn this morning."
After Old Yan finished talking to the delivery driver in front, he came over and saw Shang Youqing leaning against the container counting and checking the unloaded items. He helped move them to the cart and asked.
Shang Youqing carefully screened the fruits, vegetables, and fodder and was quite satisfied. "Well, they're very fresh. Let's store them in the warehouse."
Old Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he had other things to do and had to go back to the city center. Old Yan helped unload the goods onto the cart and pulled them into the park's feed room and left, while Shang Youqing stayed to settle the bill with the driver.
I was holding a notebook and recording the time labels of the items entering the warehouse one by one when I met a few young people in trendy clothes coming towards me with camera equipment.
A man walked at the back, pounding his legs and complaining, "Oh, my family, I told you to just go to the zoo next door in the west city, but now it's a wasted trip..."
"Hello, Miss! Excuse me, has Mingling Zoo closed down? I see the main gate is closed."
Shang Youqing raised his head slightly, holding the notebook, and answered patiently, "It's not closed. It's been closed for the past two days for renovations. It will officially reopen at 8:10 tomorrow morning. You're all welcome to come."
The person asking the question looked at her in surprise, then nodded and said, "Oh, okay. Thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome."
At this time, Shang Youqing didn't know that the few people who were staying not far away were broadcasting live, nor did he know that what happened next was also broadcast live.
She was indeed planning to open the park tomorrow weekend, and she also opened a zoo account for promotional purposes. However, she had been running back and forth these days and had not found the time to shoot some promotional videos.
Shang Youqing was just about to go back through the west gate when he suddenly glanced sideways and saw a pastoral dog curled up under a tree outside the gate, howling mournfully several times.
Shang Youqing walked over, looked it up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Did he get lost with his master?"
The pastoral dog pricked up one ear and barked at her hesitantly.
[Human, can you understand Wang's inner voice? ]
Shang Youqing half-knelt down, petted the dog, took out his cell phone and asked, "Well, what's your master's number?"
The pastoral dog was now completely excited, wagging its tail and barking around her.
[137xxxxxxxx! Hey, this is Wang's owner's phone number!]
Shang Youqing dialed the number that Tianyuanquan had given her. The call was quickly connected, and Shang Youqing said directly, "Hello, I found a puppy here."
Shang Youqing listened to the person on the other end of the phone describe the puppy's appearance. After confirming that it was the pastoral dog in front of her, grinning and wagging its tail excitedly at her, she told the other party her location. "Just come to the west gate of the zoo. Okay, bye."
The owner of the pastoral dog happened to be near the suburbs. Within a few minutes, he drove over, picked up the lost dog, and thanked Shang Youqing profusely.
The pastoral dog was held in the arms of its owner, and it did not forget to stretch out its claws and carefully poked the cuff on Shang Youqing's wrist, and its barking became more coquettish.
[Man, I almost thought I was going to be homeless. Awooo, thank you for helping me! I like you! I will bring you here to see you in the future!]
Shang Youqing nodded in agreement, waved goodbye to them with a frown, then closed the west gate and returned to the park.
Shang Youqing, who had been calm all morning, finally opened the fence and returned to the courtyard. Seeing what was happening in the courtyard, his eyelids twitched, "Oh my God, what are you doing, little ancestors?"
In the vegetable garden of the courtyard.
Young Master He, who was spotless in his clean white shirt and trousers in the morning, was now covered in mud, with a tattered straw hat tilted on his head and a pair of worn-out little yellow duck bucket shoes from Shangyou on his calves.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this young master is currently sticking out his little butt, holding a small shovel and digging holes in the vegetable field to plant vegetables.
And her baby Shang You, was coolly supervising behind Young Master He with his little arms folded, and squatting down from time to time to replant the cabbage seedlings that Young Master He had planted crookedly.
When they heard the sound of Shang Youqing opening the fence, two round heads that were concentrating on the vegetable field looked at her at the same time.
He Zhimo raised his hand to wipe his little face, and pointed at the newly dug pit with a small shovel, "Shang Youqing, look."
“…What are you looking at?”
Young Master He said majestically, "This row of cabbages is all grown by me for you."
Shang You added, "I reworked seven of them."
He Zhimo wiped his nose pretending to be indifferent and said, "Don't worry about these details."
Shang Youqing couldn't bear to see the two cubs getting dirtier and dirtier, so he took them one by one into the bathtub and washed them clean.
Afterwards, Shang Youqing took them to feed the animals and took care of some other important things.
In the evening, when Sister Ling and Aunt Zhou, two keepers in the garden, were on the phone discussing some matters needing attention before the opening of the garden the next morning, the two cubs sat in a row on small stools, quietly reviewing the details of the vegetable planting during the day.
"Shang You, I think next time we should start digging from the left row to reduce the splashing of mud."
"You're holding the shovel incorrectly."
"How do I get it?"
Shang You picked up the small shovel with one hand, demonstrated it to him, and then threw it to him.
He Zhimo held her tightly, his eyes wide open, and imitated the movements stiffly, "Is that so?"
"About the same."
He Zhimo held the small shovel and became more confident. "Shang You, thank you for teaching me how to grow vegetables. In return, I will teach you how to read poetry."
"What lion?"
"My kingdom—"
Shang Youqing hung up the phone and turned around. He was shocked that the two guys could continue chatting like this, but he couldn't help but hold up his face and listen carefully to He Zhimo's clear and rhythmic recitation of a poem.
While thinking that the He family had really brought up this young master very well, he scratched his face and suddenly realized something very important -
Now that they have come down the mountain, isn't it time for her to send her baby to school?
Thinking of this, Shang Youqing opened her cell phone, flipped through the address book, found the number of her junior brother, and sent a message.
Because the park had to open very early tomorrow, Shang Youqing asked the two children to go back to their respective rooms early in the morning. He Zhimo slept in his own small room, while Shang Youqing slept in the same room with Shang You.
The desk lamp in the room was on. She sat by the bed as usual, holding Shang You in her arms to coax her to sleep. She lowered her head and rested it on Shang You's soft little shoulder while continuing to deal with things on her mobile phone.
When I was almost done, I just turned off my phone and carried Shang You back to bed when I heard Shang You's drowsy voice calling out, "Mom."
Shang Youqing ruffled the baby's hair and kissed her on the cheek, "Go to sleep, baby."
Just as I was about to turn off the lights and lie down, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure outside the door.
Outside the slightly open door, He Zhimo came out of the small room at some point. He held onto the door frame with his little hands, staring inside with moist eyes without blinking.
After noticing that she was looking at him, He Zhimo raised the back of his little finger and wiped his eyes roughly, pursed his lips stubbornly, and ran away with tears in his eyes.
