Since Li Guihua joined, Lin Zhu has become a lot more relaxed. In order to thank Lin Zhu for providing her with such an opportunity to make money, she took her son and two of them to do all the work of picking wolfberries in the mountains. In this way, Lin Zhu
Bamboo also had more time to inspect the conditions in the fields.
What worries her the most is the growth of watermelons, which is her most important source of income. In order to make the watermelons grow well, she even dug a well nearby. The person who found the well was treated as a fool. At this time
No one dug wells in the fields, and these dry lands depended on the weather. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhu was regarded as a prodigal and became the owner of this acre of watermelons.
Planting watermelons by Lin Zhu is also a new thing in the village. However, because watermelons are delicious and difficult to grow, few people dare to try it. At first, the villagers laughed at her that she was blind and wasting her time lighting lamps. She would definitely not be able to grow them. They did not expect the watermelons to grow now.
It shocked everyone and attracted many people's peeps. But because Hei Dou'er was guarding the fields day and night, the sharp teeth of the growing Hei Dou'er gleamed in the sun, making people shudder when they saw it. The people in the village
Many local dogs would run away when they saw Heidou'er, or they would tremble in fear and dare not step forward to fight with Heidou'er. This also gave some ill-intentioned people a break.
One day in May, Lin Zhu just came back from the fields. Her face was red from the sun. Chang's mother was afraid that she would catch the heat, so she quickly asked her to wash her face with warm water and prepared some warm tea for her. "Girl,
Things here are not urgent, so don’t exhaust yourself." After drinking the water, Lin Zhu smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. The watermelon will be ripe in more than a month.
Now is the critical time, don't worry if you don't keep an eye on me." "Fortunately, this place is close to home, so I can always take care of it." Chang's mother stroked Lin Zhu's hair scattered around her face, "Put on a hat when you go out.
, you can also cover yourself from the sun and get less tanned." "Mama Chang!" Lin Zhu was annoyed because she always went to the fields and her skin tanned a lot. She was always laughed at by Ruyu, and now Mama Chang
He also teased her, and she unconsciously acted coquettishly towards Mama Chang. This look of a little daughter made Mama Chang smile knowingly.
When Lin Zhu was showing off to Chang's mother that he could eat watermelon every day in the future, the voice of Dr. Zhang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came from the door, "Girl Zhu, are you at home? Come and open the door."
"It's Mr. Zhang who's back." Lin Zhu said to Chang's mother and quickly ran out to open the door. She hadn't seen Mr. Zhang back since the New Year. She thought he wasn't coming back, but she didn't expect to come back now.
Chang's mother hadn't realized who Mr. Zhang was, and she was about to ask. She could only look at Lin Zhu's running back. Chang's mother shook her head helplessly, after teaching her the rules for so long. Still.
I don't remember. It seems that Mr. Zhang is a very important guest to Lin Zhu. Chang's mother also stood up, tidied up her appearance, and prepared to welcome the guests.
Lin Zhu ran to the gate and opened the door for Old Doctor Zhang. When he opened the door, he saw that not only Old Doctor Zhang was here, but also Butler Zhang, who was also carrying something in his hand. "You're always back! It's been so long.
Come back. I thought you weren't coming back." Lin Zhu's happiness was beyond words. She couldn't help but take on the coquettish tone of a junior when she spoke. Then she turned to greet Butler Zhang, "Uncle Butler, you are back too." "Hahahaha.
, So Zhu Yatou misses me, so did you leave some delicious food for me?" Old Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and laughed, and Lin Zhu's sincere welcome made him very satisfied.
"It will be there in one month." Lin Zhu said slightly mysteriously.
"Oh, let me guess." Dr. Zhang pretended to think and thought for a while, "Is the delicious food you are talking about watermelon? I guessed it right." He looked at Lin Zhu with a smile in his eyes.
."How did you know?" Lin Zhu didn't believe that he was guessing.
"As soon as I came back, I heard that people in the village were talking about your watermelon planting. What? Did it grow?" Dr. Zhang stopped and asked with concern. "Well, it did grow. I went to the field today.
I took a look inside, and it's growing pretty well." Lin Zhu didn't hide anything, and directly told him the situation in the field.
"Zhu girl, you are really awesome. They say watermelons are delicious but difficult to grow. I didn't expect you to be able to do more crops at such a young age than those old people. You will take me to see this watermelon field later." He was talking and laughing.
, the three of them arrived at the door of the main house. Just as Dr. Zhang was about to enter the house, he found a woman standing at the door, and she looked familiar. However, he just glanced at her and asked Lin Zhu with a normal expression, "Who is this?"
"Oh, she is Mama Chang who I invited to help." She turned around and introduced to Mama Chang, "Mother Chang, this is Dr. Zhang, who often takes care of me and is the savior of me and Fu Dou'er." "Hey, but...
You can't live up to the title of savior. You are still alive and kicking without me." Old doctor Zhang waved his hand, "I wonder where this mother Chang is from?"
Lin Zhu didn't know if it was her own illusion. Why did she feel that when Old Doctor Zhang asked, the words "Mother Chang" had a somewhat accentuated meaning? But Mother Chang still followed Old Doctor Zhang as usual.
After bowing, he stood up and replied, "My hometown is Qingluan Town. My girl took me in and helped me at home."
"Oh," Dr. Zhang nodded after hearing her answer. He entered the room and sat on a chair, then motioned to Butler Zhang to put the things he was holding on the table. "Let's play with some small things."
Lin Zhu looked at those things, a large and a small box with red lacquered peonies in bloom. Just looking at this box, Lin Zhu felt very stressed, let alone opening it to see the things inside. Seeing that she was a little timid, Mr. Zhang
The doctor hit her head with his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Open it and see if you like it."
"There can't be some precious things here, right?" Lin Zhu rubbed his hands, "It's so stressful." He opened the big box and saw that it was full of silk flowers, such as butterflies, peonies, and so on.
Begonias and the like were all made lifelike, just like the real thing. Lin Zhu picked one up and put it in his hand, "Wow, it's just like the real thing." Then he looked at Dr. Zhang, "It must be very expensive."
"They are all gifts from others. They are not worth much. The little girls at home like them all, so I picked a few for you to play with." She didn't want them at first, but when she heard that they were gifts from others, Lin Zhu was very happy.
Fang Fang accepted it, "Haha, you are greedy for money. If you want to buy these, it will cost a lot of money. Thank you, I saved a lot of money." This sentence made Butler Zhang's face twitch, and he said in his heart,
This is made in-house. If you have money, you can't buy it. Miss Xiaozhu, you are indeed greedy for money.
Not only was Butler Zhang secretly complaining, Chang's mother also looked a little unnatural when she saw these things. She certainly recognized the origin of these silk flowers, but she couldn't say it to her face now.
"Look at that one again." Lin Zhu followed the direction pointed by Old Doctor Zhang and looked at the smaller box. Lin Zhu opened it and saw a longevity lock inside. The front said "long life and wealth" and the back said "longevity and longevity".
Years ago, it was exquisitely carved, with twin fishes playing in the water, warm and shiny, and the material used was actually fine white jade. There was also a green bracelet. Lin Zhu took a closer look and found that it was actually jade. And it looked very good in the sun.
It was transparent, very much like the glass-grown jade she had seen in the literature before, not to mention the eye-catching green color. Lin Zhu was so frightened that she quickly closed the lid and pushed the box to Dr. Zhang. "This is too expensive.
It’s gone, I can’t accept it.”
Lin Zhu's attitude made the other three people confused. He thought to himself, he had already accepted the silk flowers made inside, so why didn't he dare to accept the long-life lock and glazed bracelet bought from the shop? "Expensive?" Old Doctor Zhang said no.
Answer: "Girl Zhu, aren't you being sarcastic?"
"Ah?" Lin Zhu was stunned by what Old Doctor Zhang said, "No, no. This bracelet is too expensive. I dare not accept it. This jade lock must also be very expensive."
"Isn't it just a glazed bracelet? How could it scare you like this?" Old Doctor Zhang smiled and shook his head.
"Where is it? This is obviously glass jade, and it's full of green. It's so precious." Lin Zhu was frightened to death. Even in her previous life, she had never seen a real glass jadeite. This was priceless.
If he wanted to accept it, he would have said, "Oh my god, it's going to be released." Of course he couldn't accept it, he definitely couldn't accept it. Lin Zhu shook his head in his heart.
"You said this is jade?" It was the first time that Dr. Zhang heard that this bracelet was sold by a foreign businessman and was not valuable. He didn't expect Lin Zhu's reaction to be so big. After hearing this question from Dr. Zhang, Lin Zhu immediately
I realized that I was overreacting, and I thought about it carefully. Jade was not valued in ancient times and was not valuable at all. Although it is imaginary in this era, it should be a deviation from a certain Chinese dynasty, but it is a continuation of Chinese thinking. "This glass
Are they the same thing as Liuli?"
"Uh, I admit my mistake." It was impossible for Lin Zhu to tell the truth to him. What she just blurted out already made her regretful to death. Too many words will lead to mistakes, and too many words will lead to mistakes. She can only prevaricate at random.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhang just thought that she was a child who had never seen the world. She might have heard someone say something and didn't remember to speak randomly. Seeing that she refused to accept it, he had to say, "You accept this and promise me a
thing."
"What's the matter?" Lin Zhu actually likes that bracelet. What woman doesn't like jewelry, let alone the best jade that was once rare. If she could get it at a reasonable price, Lin Zhu would certainly be willing.
"Don't sell your watermelon." Old Doctor Zhang made a request that shocked Lin Zhu's jaw.
"Why?" This was even more surprising than Lin Zhu's when she saw the bracelet. She had pinned all her hopes of becoming rich and well-off on watermelons, so she was not allowed to sell them. This was too much.
"I don't want you to keep selling it," Old Doctor Zhang said his plan, "I will ask someone to collect it, and you will have to pay for it."
As soon as she heard that the offer was for sale and there was money to be paid, Lin Zhu's heart suddenly dropped. She was still focusing on the four words "money is indispensable", and her cheerful smile made old doctor Zhang very unhappy.
, and hit her head again with a snap. Lin Zhu couldn't help but touch the painful area, and looked at Dr. Zhang with an accusing look. "I'm obsessed with money at a young age. It seems I need to teach him a lesson."
