Three days later.
The weather was still cold, so Li Lanzhen didn't hold a baby shower for her newborn grandson and planned to hold a full-month celebration instead.
Li Lanzhen still went to the field for a walk.
She wants to build greenhouses here to grow vegetables.
I saw Zhang Deshui at the edge of the field. He was squatting in the field, pulling up a blade of grass here to examine it, and grabbing a handful of soil there to knead it.
"My dear in-law, what are you looking at in the field?"
Zhang Deshui saw that it was Li Lanzhen who had come over.
"Hehe, let me see, let me see."
Seeing his dejected appearance, Li Lanzhen knew that he was disappointed because he had no land to cultivate.
"My dear in-law, if I had a way to help you grow vegetables even in the dead of winter, would you be willing?"
Zhang Deshui stood up abruptly, took a few steps closer, and looked at Li Lanzhen.
"My dear in-laws, you can't lie to me, right? Is it true? I'm willing! I'm willing. I'll even stay here!"
"I'm not lying to you. It's true. I have a way. Here's how it is..."
Li Lanzhen explained in detail how to build greenhouses and how to maintain a suitable temperature for vegetable growth inside.
As for planting and field management, Zhang Deshui is an expert in that, so Li Lanzhen didn't elaborate.
Zhang Deshui's understanding of planting was completely overturned after hearing this!
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran towards the village.
Li Lanzhen thought that he must have gone to discuss it with Han Shunde, Xue Laohu, and the others.
That's good. We've explained the method to them. They're all farmers, experienced in farming, so they'll definitely be able to build it.
Just observe quietly and enjoy the joy of success!
Yesterday, Silver Fox and three others came to tell her that they were going to the capital.
There were some things that needed to be settled, and he was also worried about the safety of the Empress and the Crown Prince.
Before leaving, he told her that Su Chen and Linglong would continue to live here, and that they would be publicly declared to have disappeared in the fire.
Li Lanzhen agreed to the request and reminded them to be careful.
Silver Fox promises they'll come back safe and sound!
Li Lanzhen, carrying Linglong, led Su Chen and saw them out of the courtyard.
Both children looked dejected.
Li Lanzhen felt sorry for them, so she cooked some delicious food to coax them.
Make candied hawthorn berries.
The children had been drooling over it for a long time.
Li Lanzhen didn't go to the main kitchen to make candied hawthorns; she made them in her own kitchen.
She wasn't sure if it would be successful, so she decided to try it out on a small scale first.
"Su Chen, can you help Grandma count how many children there are? Give each child a string of candied hawthorns."
Su Chen looked up and asked her.
"Grandma, how old are you to be considered a child?"
This question stumped Li Lanzhen, who thought for a moment before answering.
"Those who are not married are all children."
"Grandma, there are 59 in total, children."
Su Chen quickly figured it out.
Li Lanzhen asked in confusion, "Why did you pause for a moment?"
"Hehe, Grandma, um, Aunt Tiehua and the others, I'll just say they're kids."
Li Lanzhen understood perfectly; what a clever and insightful child!
He must have been thinking that Tiehua and the others must have been married before, but for some reason they ended up together.
Li Lanzhen told him that anyone who is not married is a child.
He only paused for a moment.
"Yes, our Su Chen is really smart. Thank you, Grandma."
Li Lanzhen moved the wooden skewers that she had asked Li Erhan to make to the kitchen, and let the children work together to skewer the cleaned hawthorn berries.
"Self-reliance leads to abundance!"
"Self-reliance leads to abundance!"
The children chanted the slogans Li Lanzhen had taught them, rolled up their sleeves, and started working.
Half an hour later, 60 candied hawthorns were ready.
Place it in a large, round winnowing basket to dry.
Five bright red hawthorn berries were skewered on each wooden stick.
"Come on, kids, you eat first, one for each of you."
He then gave each of the children who had participated in making candied hawthorns at home a candied hawthorn.
"Grandma, you eat first!"
The sound rose and fell! Every child who received a candied hawthorn held up the crystal-clear, bright red candied hawthorn skewer and handed it to Li Lanzhen.
Looking into the children's innocent eyes and sincere expressions, Li Lanzhen smiled.
"Grandma, just one is enough. Grandma's teeth are too old to eat too many."
As soon as he finished speaking, the children's eyes changed.
"Poor Grandma! She can't even eat candied hawthorns!"
"Grandma's teeth are so old already? She can't even eat candied hawthorn anymore? Poor thing!"
Under the pitying and sympathetic gazes, Li Lanzhen took a bite of the first candied hawthorn skewer that Han Yinan handed her.
The children were happy to see Li Lanzhen eat.
They all stuck out their little tongues and carefully licked the first candied hawthorn on their skewers.
Then, he opened his eyes wide, grinned foolishly, and narrowed his eyes into slits!
Distributing candied hawthorns to the children was something Li Lanzhen entrusted to Han Yinan and the others to do.
She knew that something interesting would happen when distributing the candied hawthorns, so she let the children experience it for themselves.
For example, the second child in a family will definitely have a rich range of emotional expressions.
Han Yinan and his group carried a basket of candied hawthorns around the village, but they couldn't find any children except for the little ones following behind them.
Knowing that they had all gone to the big fields, they moved there as well.
Hearing that everyone in the village had gone to the fields, Li Lanzhen tidied up the kitchen, put on a light jacket, and went to the fields as well.
Upon arriving at the location, the first thing that came out was Han Mingjiang's loud, rough voice.
"Third brother, little brother! Leave one candied hawthorn for your older brother! You're such a big boy, yet you still act like a child! Your mother is so biased!"
Li Lanzhen wanted to step forward and teach this idiot who was trying to talk his way out of trouble!
Then he saw Han Yisong raise the candied hawthorn in his hand high and hand it to him.
"Dad, eat mine. Don't take Uncle's."
My poor uncle! He was beaten and starved outside, and then he was captured by bandits.
You've always been by Grandma's side; Grandma has given you so many delicious things.
Everyone around was stunned by Han Yisong's remarks!
What a sensible child! It's a pity he's from the Han Mingjiang family, which is so immature!
Tsk tsk! What a pity!
Seeing Han Mingjiang's flushed face, Li Lanzhen quickly came to his rescue, teasing him.
"Second brother, from now on, your mother will favor the third brother."
"I'm not giving you anything good to eat."
She glared at him after saying that.
Han Mingjiang immediately sidled up to Li Lanzhen.
He grinned, showing off his bright white teeth. "Mother, I was just joking with the third son. Don't take it seriously. Mother, please treat me the same way you always have!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The people around him burst into laughter.
On this day, everyone in Peach Blossom Spring ate candied hawthorn.
It's crunchy with every bite, and the sweet and sour taste is unforgettable.
What makes everyone even more gratified is that their own children know how to respect their parents and care for the elderly and young.
Be willing to share!
