Chapter 286 Flowers in Bloom
"Oh, I'm so used to calling him that, I haven't thought about this question yet." Yue Mingzhu slapped her head and said. Then, frowning, she said in confusion, "Then what should I call him best? Calling Lin Jiang nephew? That doesn't seem right, does it? He's older than me!"
Lin He interrupted and said, "Why don't you follow us and shout, 'Nurse', so that you can call me 'Big Brother' and 'Brother'."
"Ah? In that case, if I call Wan Ning sister, doesn't that mean I have to call her aunt? She is only a few years older than me!" Yue Mingzhu continued.
"Well, what's the big deal? My aunt is only one year older than my eldest brother! My eldest brother has to call her aunt too! You are two years younger than my eldest brother, so just call her aunt! Right, aunt?" Lin He turned his head and looked at Shen Wanning again.
Shen Wanning nodded and said, "You can call me whatever you want. Just do whatever is convenient for Miss Yue."
Yue Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Auntie from now on." After hesitating for a while, she called out to Aunt Zhang, "Grandma Zhang, Uncle Lin."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Well, whatever you call me is fine, whatever you call me is fine."
After breakfast, Lin Jingyou didn't stay with Shen Wanning the entire time. He first helped Lin Dashan select some wood and then imitated Lin Dashan in weaving a winnowing basket. After a while, he went to wash and pick vegetables with Aunt Zhang.
He was busy until noon, then he stopped to wash his hands and eat.
Shen Wanning knew that he felt that he owed his parents too much, so he wanted to spend some time with them before leaving.
After lunch, Shen Wanning went to the backyard and led Zhuifeng out. "Third brother, you can ride Zhuifeng. We'll go to the county to buy a horse in a few days."
Lin Jingyou took the reins from her without hesitation and said, "Okay, Wan Ning, take care of yourself at home. I'll come back to see you guys when I'm not busy for a while. If you have time, remember to come visit me in Baocheng County."
"I know, Third Brother. When the busy farming season is over, I will definitely bring my parents to see you. Third Brother, remember to ask the people to look for sterile rice."
Lin Jingyou reached out and touched her head. "Don't worry, Third Brother remembers everything. I have to go now. It will be late, and I'm afraid the city gate will be closed when I get to the county town."
"Go ahead, Third Brother. Have a safe trip." Shen Wanning stepped aside to make it easier for Lin Jingyou to get on the horse.
Lin Jingyou nodded, got on his horse, said goodbye to them, and whipped his horse forward.
As soon as Lin Jingyou left, the family returned to normal life.
Shen Wanning went to the county town and checked the situation of the milk tea shop. It was still the same as before and the business had almost stabilized.
In addition to milk tea, she was more concerned about corn. She wondered how the corn crops on the farm were doing.
When they arrived at the farm, Lin Dashun was bathing the cows and Mrs. Xu was helping him.
"Mrs. Xu, is everything okay at the farm?" Shen Wanning walked over and greeted her.
The two of them were so busy with their work that they hadn't noticed Shen Wanning. Only when she spoke did they see her.
"Oh, Wan Ning is here. Come in and sit down." Mrs. Xu stopped what she was doing and wiped her hands with a rag.
"It's okay, Mrs. Xu, you don't have to be polite. Just continue with your work. I just came to the farm to see how Jinmi is doing." Shen Wanning waved her hand and said.
"The golden rice has sprouted in the past few days, and the germination rate is quite high. It is growing green and looks great." Mrs. Xu said, and was about to come over to take Shen Wanning to take a look.
The two walked towards the fields together and saw He Zhao weeding with a hoe. Seeing her coming, He Zhao stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his face, and shouted happily, "Boss."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Well, are you used to everything here?"
"We are originally from farming families and are used to doing these things. I didn't expect that I could also help with farming and make money. I am happy to come to farm every day." He Zhao replied with a smile.
"You'll get used to it. The sun is right overhead, and it would be troublesome if you get too hot. Go back and rest, and come back when the sun is about to set." Shen Wanning said.
"Thank you for your understanding. But it's only April now, and the dog days of summer haven't started yet, so it's not very hot." He himself sweats easily, and it's normal for him to sweat after working in the fields for a while.
"Okay, then you can continue. If you are tired, take a rest first. Your health is important." Shen Wanning instructed.
Over there, his sister-in-law, Yao Hongxia, was tending to the jasmine and roses she had planted. Perhaps it was because women naturally loved flowers and plants, as Yao Hongxia's face, red from the sun, remained smiling.
Walking along the road, there were very few weeds to be seen. Mrs. Xu praised, "He Zhao and his sister-in-law are really hardworking people. They come to the field the earliest and leave the latest every day. Look at this field, there are basically no weeds to be seen. He Zhao always says that if he doesn't work harder, he feels that he is not worthy of the wages you pay him."
"Yes, when I first met him, I felt that he was a person of excellent character. Otherwise, I would not have casually recruited a stranger to do the job." Shen Wanning agreed.
Shen Wanning thought about how He Zhao came to buy milk tea before, and she decided to wait until the Chinese New Year to give some year-end bonuses to He Zhao and his sister-in-law.
I checked the corn and it's growing well. The jasmine and roses are also doing well.
Now is the flowering season of jasmine. Walking among the flowers, you can smell the fragrance of jasmine, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Roses are also in full bloom, but they are not as fragrant as jasmine. You can only smell the fragrance of roses when you get close.
From a distance, it looks like a sea of red and white, interlaced with each other, which looks beautiful.
"Jasmine and roses are in full bloom now. Let them pick all the flowers that are in full bloom. Brother Xu, please find some time to help deliver them to the Lin residence!" Shen Wanning said.
If they had the job of picking flowers, they wouldn't have to keep an eye on the ground to see if there was grass growing. Besides, picking flowers is much easier than weeding.
"Yeah, okay. We originally asked if you wanted to pick flowers, but a few days ago, Lin Lao Er said that you went to Baocheng County and were not at home. So we kept putting it off until today to tell you about picking flowers." Mrs. Xu explained.
"It doesn't matter. It's still not too late to pick the flowers now." The business in the shop gradually stabilized, and the essential oils made before could last for a while.
"Okay, I'll tell them when they're all here tomorrow morning. Wan Ning, please take a look and see if there's anything that needs improvement?" asked Mrs. Xu.
Shen Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Let's invite a few more people from the nearby villages to build a pavilion nearby! The weather is getting hotter, and they can rest in the pavilion when they're tired from working. We can also build two thatched huts nearby and a few earthen kangs inside them so they can take a nap on the kangs when the weather is hot."
