Chapter 656 (Page 1/2)
Looking at the magnificent ginkgo tree, Lin Man was attracted by its beauty and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow, this ginkgo tree is so beautiful! It's tall and straight, and its golden leaves are like dancing butterflies. It's really suitable to be planted around this villa."
Qingci, who was standing nearby, smiled and nodded, responding, "Yes, it is indeed very beautiful, otherwise I wouldn't have let you plant ginkgo trees."
Lin Man frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...there should be ginkgo trees in Hai City, right? If Mr. Chen comes back and finds that the trees here have changed, he will probably be suspicious!
"If he really asks, we can just say it was transplanted from somewhere else. We've already redecorated half of the main building anyway."
Lin Man thought about it and nodded in agreement, "You're right, that's enough. Don't rush to plant grass next to this tree for now. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this piece of land has just been turned over."
This proves that the tree was newly transplanted. If he asks why we dug up the original magnolia tree, just tell him that his magnolia tree is dying."
"Manman, Master Chen is actually quite perceptive. He probably won't ask these questions in detail. Besides, there's more than one magnolia tree in this mansion, so he probably won't be too concerned."
"That's good."
"Manman, I planted so many beautiful flowers in the back garden, including orchids, peonies, roses, roses, and hydrangeas..."
Hearing this, Lin Man praised with joy, "Very good! I must take a good look at the garden you have carefully arranged and admire these beautiful flowers.
By the way, Qingci, let’s go hang up the other pair of curtains first. After that, we’ll have to prepare lunch.”
Huo Qingci responded readily, "Okay! Let's go back and wash our hands and hang the curtains first."
Lin Man was secretly thinking in her heart. She had originally planned to make another pair of curtains, but judging from the current situation, there was obviously not enough time.
She had to catch the train back to Beijing tonight, so the curtains for the other rooms had to be put on hold for now and she would do them slowly after returning to Beijing.
Lin Man shook her head helplessly, then walked into the house with Huo Qingci and started to get busy.
Huo Qingci went to hang the curtains while Lin Man went to prepare lunch. After lunch, she planned to go shopping again.
She had to go back and buy some gifts for the children. Last time they went shopping, they only bought some special products from Haishi and forgot to go to the department store to buy some beautiful clothes and shoes for the children.
After lunch, the two carefully locked the main building and the courtyard gates, and took a car to the bustling department store.

Time passed quietly as they strolled from downstairs to upstairs and back again, enjoying their shopping. When they returned with their full purchases, they saw Uncle Chen standing quietly in front of the iron gate of the compound from afar.
I saw him holding an extremely large woven bag steadily in one hand, which looked quite heavy.
Seeing this, Huo Qingci quickly took out the key from his pocket, handed it to Uncle Chen with a smile, and greeted him warmly, "Uncle Chen, you're back."
Uncle Chen nodded, with a kind smile on his face, and responded, "Yes, I went back to visit several children at home this time, and they are all living well.
Moreover, when they heard that I was going back to the city to continue helping you look after the house, my eldest son specially prepared a lot of food for me.
"Doctor Huo, do you want to cook in the hospital? Here are some food for you!" He said, gently shaking the large woven bag in his hand.
Huo Qingci quickly waved his hand and declined: "No need, Uncle Chen, you can keep these grains and eat them slowly.
I know you've cultivated several fertile vegetable plots here, so you don't have a shortage of vegetables, but you still need to buy rice, which is not a small sum."
Hearing this, Uncle Chen seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said honestly, "Actually, those vegetable plots were cultivated by Uncle Wang before.
Now that I have planted vegetables, the harvest is pretty good. As an old man, I simply cannot eat so much.
How about this, I'll find time to send it to the hospital for you, so you can taste the fresh vegetables I grew myself."
"Uncle, if you can't finish it, you can exchange it for food."
Deep down, Huo Qingci really hoped that Uncle Chen could stay here without any worries and protect his home for him.
When Mr. Wang asked them to stay at home to help with chores, he not only provided them with accommodation, but also three meals a day.
Now, Huo Qingci himself cannot give Uncle Chen free meals like Mr. Wang did, but he also wants to give some compensation to the best of his ability.
So, when he told Uncle Chen that he could sell the vegetables he grew at will, whether in exchange for food or money, Uncle Chen could use them as he pleased, Uncle Chen immediately smiled happily.
Because for Uncle Chen, this means that he no longer needs to spend extra money to buy food to make a living.
Then he can save all his salary. If he works harder and opens a few more vegetable plots, and sells the vegetables he grows, he might even make some money.
