Here, Mr. Lin asked his daughter-in-law Zhou Qing to bring over the design drawn by Ruan Bai.
The two of them talked enthusiastically about many small details of architectural design.
Although there is a big age gap between Mr. Lin and Ruan Bai, there is no obstacle to their conversation.
Although Mr. Lin has been in politics all his life, he is well-read and has a very broad range of knowledge. He can even pick up some professional terms that junior architects don't know, which makes Ruan Bai admire him very much.
Mr. Lin is also very satisfied with Ruan Bai.
Although this girl looks very young, she is definitely not just a vase with appearances. Her unique design, novel and forward-looking ideas, and humble and courteous attitude all make him feel very good.
Mr. Lin glanced at Lin Ning, who was sitting beside her, dressed like a princess, and looked away with dissatisfaction.
Although his so-called granddaughter appears to be well-behaved and very good at pleasing others, and even her wife and daughter-in-law are coaxed into being nice by her, she still acts like a lady every day, which inevitably makes people feel artificial.
Moreover, she has been involved in the mixed entertainment industry all year round. Even though she was asked to quit, she was reluctant to part with the glamor of the entertainment industry, which made Mr. Lin always unhappy.
Lin Ning on the side was sitting on pins and needles.
Because almost all of the things that grandpa and Ruan Bai talked about were professional terms in construction, and I couldn't get a word in at all.
In particular, Lin Ning felt the slightly disappointed look on Mr. Lin's face when he looked at her. Her heart felt like it was being cut tightly by a steel ruler, leaving her with nowhere to vent the depression and anger in her chest.
She was very sure that her grandfather had no idea that Ruan Bai was his granddaughter.
They had only met once or twice, but they were as close as a family.
Could it be that this is an implicit family response?
Thinking of this, Lin Ning's eyes became cold and fierce - no, she would never let Ruan Bai take away everything that belonged to her!
Mr. Lin and Ruan Bai were busy talking, so they didn't notice Lin Ning's abnormality. The two of them were still chatting enthusiastically.
Mr. Lin pointed to the vegetable garden on the design drawing and said, "When the time comes, this place will be designed to be a pastoral-style villa. Xiaobai, look at what should be planted here."
Unknowingly, Mr. Lin's name for Ruan Bai has changed from "Miss Ruan" to Xiaobai.
Ruan Bai thought for a moment and then said: "Grandpa Lin, your body needs to eat some vegetables rich in vitamin C. Shanghai greens, radishes, eggplants, lentils and other home-cooked vegetables can be grown. Moreover, home-grown vegetables
The vegetables are relatively nutritious and have no chemical residues, which are of great benefit to your health."
When Lin Ning thought about growing vegetables next to the villa, she felt extremely ridiculous!
Ruan Bai is indeed from the countryside and has little knowledge. How can he grow vegetables in such a beautiful villa?
Immediately, she warned Mr. Lin: "Grandpa, I think Miss Ruan's opinion is very inappropriate. I think it would be better to plant flowers in the villa. Generally, the villas of Gaomen family are all planted with flowers. Who grows vegetables?"
Grandpa, think about it, if you open a garden in a villa and scatter various seeds, the villa will be filled with flowers and surrounded by butterflies and bees. It will definitely be like a fairyland. If you are growing vegetables, you have to weed, water, etc., then
How dirty it is, it doesn’t match your status at all, grandpa! Only those who grow flowers are called villas, and those who grow vegetables are called farmyards. Only farmers can grow vegetables."
After Lin Ning finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Ruan Bai glanced at Lin Ning meaningfully, looking at her head held high, feeling speechless.
Lin Ning was proud that she could finally get a word in, but as soon as she spoke, Ruan Bai was speechless, and she felt that what she said was so right.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin had a look of displeasure on his face, and he spoke to Lin Ning in a harsh tone: "What's wrong with growing vegetables in the villa? Flowers can only be viewed, not eaten. It's most practical to eat organic food in your stomach."
Things! Besides, why can’t I grow vegetables?
In ancient times, Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and Ruan Ji lived freely in the bamboo forest. Which one of them was not famous? Regardless of official position or reputation, he can be called a great Confucian. In your eyes, I, an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, am still as big as heaven?"
Mr. Lin's words made Lin Ning blush. She explained in a panic and hesitantly: "Grandpa...I...I didn't mean that..."
Mr. Lin's majestic face turned red with anger at Lin Ning's words.
He sternly admonished: "What do you mean? Only farmers can grow vegetables. Do you look down on farmers? Everyone can go back three generations. Whose ancestors were not farmers? Your grandfather and I grew up in the countryside when we were young. They are also authentic.
farmers!
There are more than 900 million farmers in China. It is their hard work that provides abundant food for people living in big cities. It is the farmers you look down on who support our food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there is no simplicity
Hard-working farmer, can you stand in front of me and speak? You would have died of hunger! If grandpa hadn’t left the village later and made a name for himself outside, you would still be a country girl now."
When Zhou Qing saw that there was a conflict between them while chatting, she immediately and considerately poured a cup of tea for Mr. Lin and handed it to him: "Dad, Ning Ning's words were unintentional and she definitely didn't mean to target anyone. Don't worry about it. Drink first.
Please order some tea, your body has just recovered a little, so don’t get angry."
Lin Ning glanced sadly at her mother who was explaining to her, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She bit her cherry lips heavily and apologized to Mr. Lin in a low voice: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I said something carelessly, but I really didn't mean to look down on the farmers. If grandpa wants to grow any vegetables in the garden in the future, just tell Ning
Ning, I will definitely find seeds for you."
Mr. Lin ignored Lin Ning.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lin on the side glared at her husband fiercely: "I said, why are you so serious, old man? The villa is suitable for planting flowers. When spring comes, the flowers in the garden will be so beautiful! Of course.
Vegetables are fine too, you can have healthy vegetables to eat then. As for what to plant, it all depends on personal preference. Ning Ning just expressed her own opinion, why are you yelling at my good granddaughter? "
The conversation was originally going well, but because Lin Ning's words were so stiff, Ruan Bai was a little embarrassed.
She felt that it was time for her to leave, but Mu Shaoling was called to the study room by Secretary Lin to discuss business matters, and it was estimated that she would have to wait a while before she came out.
Ruan Bai could only find an excuse to go to the bathroom.
The bathroom in the Lin family's old house is surrounded by flowers and vines and is divided into an inner room and an outer room. The outer room is a place for washing. The toilet inside is very modern in design and the cleaning is very clean and tidy.
Ruan Bai just came in and when he came out after finishing his work, he saw Lin Ning walking in domineeringly on high heels...
