Lin Ruoxi drank when he heard the word "caiyuan". The rice porridge almost choked.
Embarrassedly stretched out his hand to cover his small mouth, and looked at Yang Gongming suspiciously, "Grandpa... Is there anything wrong?"
Yang Gongming nodded and said: "Seeing that you are very interested in those vegetables and fruits, I will tell you about it. By the way, you can help me with some work, watering, and fertilizing."
Watering and fertilizing
Lin Ruoxi felt a little baffled. Even if Yang Gongming didn't want to do this kind of thing, there were other servants who could do it.
"Is it weird?" Yang Gongming seemed to see the woman's question, and said: "This is the vegetable garden that I manage by myself. I never let the servants get involved. You are the first to allow me to take care of my things except Sanniang. My dear one."
With that said, Lin Ruoxi felt a little happy, although she still felt weird, she nodded in response.
Yang Chen didn't matter, he happened to be able to contact Ron, who was preparing for the final work of the wedding, to confirm the progress and see if there was any need for temporary changes.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxi followed Yang Gongming to the vegetable garden where he had been in the backyard for a long time yesterday.
The morning dew drops from the leaves of grass and vegetables, and the fruits and vegetables in the yard are exceptionally tender and dripping.
Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to touch those vegetables easily, and followed Yang Gongming to an old hut beside the vegetable garden.
Yang Gongming had already changed into a blue-gray coarse cloth shirt at this time, which was obviously equipment for farm work. Lin Ruoxi gave up because he didn't have any particularly suitable clothes.
When Yang Gongming opened the door of the wooden house, a pungent smell came from inside.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly covered her face, holding her breath, but was surprised at what was inside.
"Hehe, Ruoxi, just stand outside and wait, it tastes great here" Yang Gongming said, and walked in.
After Lin Ruoxi waited curiously for more than ten minutes, he saw Yang Gongming carrying a bucket of plastic tools on his back and holding a pump-like object in his hand, connecting them together.
Yang Gongming explained with a smile: "I haven't seen it before, aren't you curious about these fruits and vegetables and farm work? This is a fertilizer applicator with adjusted urea, which can fertilize the beans and eggplants."
Lin Ruoxi nodded suddenly, a little eager to try. If it wasn't for this thing that looked dirty and had a pungent smell, and she happened to be wearing a white dress, she wanted to try to make it.
"Then... Grandpa, what shall I do?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"When I'm going to fertilize those vegetables later, when you finish spreading the fertilizer, you will water those vegetables without too much, but try to evenly apply them."
After speaking, Yan Sanniang took a heavy black watering can from elsewhere and handed it to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi took it with a smile, thinking that Yan Sanniang could easily hold it with one hand, she should carry it without difficulty, but who knows, she took it with one hand and almost fell directly to the ground!
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly lifted it with both hands so as not to smash the kettle.
"Madam Young, the water here is full, so it's a little heavy" Yan Sanniang smiled kindly.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the old woman who was as kind as ever in surprise, and his mind was full of incredible.
This kettle is at least forty catties, and she is still struggling to hold it in both hands, Yan Sanniang actually holds it like a goose feather!
Lin Ruoxi, who already knew a lot of things, realized that Sanniang Yan was not so simple on the surface!
But before he could think about it, Yang Gongming had already led her to start fertilizing near the eggplant.
Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Gongming carefully apply fertilizer to the eggplant seedlings, and then followed closely, spraying the seedlings evenly, and dilute the fertilizer according to Yang Gongming's instructions.
"These eggplants need to be top-dressed to grow thick enough, but too much nitrogen fertilizer will burn the roots easily, so let you add some water to it."...
While Yang Gongming was busy, he explained some farming tips to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi listened attentively, and would ask questions from time to time when she encountered those she didn't understand.
Gradually, one old and one young, in the vegetable garden, spent more than an hour working on farming before it ended.
When Lin Ruoxi put down the water bottle and sat on a nearby bluestone bench to rest with Yang Gongming, the woman found that her skirt was soaked with sweat.
The little face was flushed, the cloud temples were a little messy, and a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead, panting and feeling a little embarrassed.
Yan Sanniang brought the herbal tea, and after Lin Ruoxi took it, she drank a big bowl with an unfeeling "gudonggudong".
When she realized that the two elders were looking at her with a smile, the woman lowered her head embarrassedly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, you kid, what's so shy about it, it's good... good..." Yang Gongming said with a satisfied smile.
Lin Ruoxi was a little puzzled. She didn't know what the old man was talking about, but she seemed to be complimenting herself.
Yan Sanniang smiled and said, "Master, when I saw Madam Young at work just now, I couldn't help but think of the figure of Young Lady at work a long time ago."
Miss
Lin Ruoxi wondered, who was it then
Could it be Yang Gongming's daughter Yang Jieyu
But why is it "a long time ago"
There was a trace of nostalgia in Yang Gongming's eyes. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's watery eyes filled with doubts, he slowly explained: "The lady Sanniang said is my wife, that is, you and Yang Chen passed away a long time ago. My grandma."
Lin Ruoxi only understood now, but felt strange again, and asked, "Then why does Granny Yan call Miss Granny?"
This time, Yan Sanniang said: "Young lady does not know something. In the old days, she was actually the maid who married the young lady. After the young lady passed away, she stayed at the Yang family to serve the master."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't believe that Yan Sanniang was born as a dowry maid
Regardless of the calm attitude, unfathomable eyes, and the hidden strength just discovered, they are not like what a maid should have!
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi was particularly curious about the in-laws and grandmother who hadn't had time to meet her. What kind of women, the maids who were left after their death, would be so capable
"Grandpa, can you tell me what kind of person grandma is? It sounds like she is very special" Lin Ruoxi couldn't help asking.
Yang Gongming drank it. After taking herbal tea, he turned his head and looked at the wide vegetable garden with a smile of sentimentality.
"Your grandmother... I don't know where to tell you. She passed away not long after giving birth and breaking the army. She had terminal cancer. The medical conditions at that time were poor. Now, she may be cured. All right…
Your grandma... is not pretty. When she was young, she was no different from the other women she ran into on the street.
When I married her, our living conditions were very difficult. Although our Yang family is a big family, after all, the country was a waste of time, and we were not as flexible in business as the Tang family.
Your great-grandfather and I are both in the army, and the income of the whole family on weekdays is also shared with the families of some old men. Therefore, we barely let the Yang family have enough food and clothing.
Your grandma is very kind. At that time, she often secretly gave some leftover meals to stray dogs, wild cats passing by the yard... For that matter, she was scolded several times by your great-grandfather, but she also secretly No change.
Now that I think about it, I often wonder if she used all the money for making clothes to exchange food for the cats and dogs, ha ha..."
Listening to Yang Gongming smiling and talking about the past decades, Lin Ruoxi's eyes seemed to turn over a yellowed picture page, falling into various thoughts.
"Later, when the Pojun was born, the conditions of the family improved. After my father died, I took over the seat of the patriarch. At the same time, because of my command on the Vietnam battlefield, the end of the war was accelerated, and I was also added to the marshal. Military rank.
At that time, I was in the strongest time in Yanjing. During the 20 years since the founding of China, there were two marshals in one door! The Yang family has almost reached a brand new peak.
And with the exchange of overseas economy, after I entered the Central Government, correspondingly, like the other three big families, the strength of the Yang family increased substantially.
Once a person has money, once he is at ease, he will have all kinds of thoughts that he didn't have before...
At that time, your grandfather and I were a little dizzy. Looking at the other family children, there were a few confidantes to accompany me. I couldn't help it, and I bumped into a few other women outside..."
Just now I was listening well, when Lin Ruoxi heard this, her pretty face blushed and she looked at Yang Gongming in disbelief!
