Chapter 134 Farming
"This is my sister, Zhao Yuxia. I specially asked her to accompany me here to express my gratitude." Zhao Qingfeng introduced people to Lan Xin with a smile.
He is divorced for the second time and has no woman at home. Lan Xin is also a divorced woman and does not live with her family. It would have a bad impact if two men and women met alone.
The last time those men came over, they were already very presumptuous.
In order to avoid gossip, Zhao Qingfeng specially asked his sister to go and express his gratitude.
"Sister, this is Lan Xin. When Yue Ling was in danger, it was them, brother and sister, who saved her. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to Yue Ling." Zhao Qingfeng introduced the two to each other.
"Comrade Lan Xin, thank you so much for extending a helping hand. Our whole family is grateful to you. My parents are not in the province, so only my siblings and I came to your house. Please forgive me."
Zhao Yuxia held Lan Xin's hands, shaking them up and down, expressing her great gratitude.
Lan Xin also smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Zhao Qingfeng handed the banner in his hand to Lan Xin, who took it with both hands. Lan Xi beside her said with a proud smile.
"Sister, I'll book you a room right now. It's right in front of the door, so you can see it as soon as you enter."
Lan Xin's mouth twitched. When did he become so vain?
But she couldn't refuse, so Lan Xin handed the banner in her hand to Lan Xi and asked him to deal with it.
Ah Qing, who was holding a camera at the side, said with a proud look on his face: "Sending a banner of thanks is a very fashionable thing in the city, especially in Shanghai. It is widely circulated. It was only when Brother Qingfeng and his friends came back from Shanghai that they thought of such a good gift."
Shanghai Stock Exchange?
Lan Xin muttered to herself, what a coincidence.
She had also sent banners of thanks to the police station and the tobacco bureau.
"Oh, really? We also presented a banner to the police station back then." Lan Xin muttered to herself, while Lan Xi spoke in surprise.
"What a coincidence. I heard that giving out silk banners is the most popular thing in the police station. It seems that the police stations in Shanghai have even started a silk banner competition. If they don't receive as many silk banners as other police stations, they can't hold their heads up." A Qing started gossiping with Lan Xi, and did not forget to confirm with Zhao Qingfeng.
"Brother Qingfeng, is this true?"
Zhao Qingfeng nodded: "I encountered this in Shanghai. Not only the police station, but other units have also started to send silk banners. It seems that it has become popular in the past one or two months. There was no such situation before."
Lan Xin widened her eyes.
One or two months?
Could it be that she was the one who started this trend?
It shouldn't be possible.
"Come on, come on, don't stand at the door for now, go into the yard first. Please forgive me for the simple house."
Lan Xin invited everyone to come into the yard and sit down, and introduced Old Man Lan and Old Man Lan to them. They were all talkative people, and soon they became familiar with each other and couldn't stop talking about gossip.
When talking about Zhao Qingfeng's second wife, Old Lady Lan shook her head: "Oh, how can there be such a vicious woman? She has been married for less than half a year and she is so rampant."
"That's right. It's all thanks to Lan Xin and her family. Otherwise, I don't know if I can find my niece back." Zhao Yuxia said with emotion, "Our whole family is grateful to Lan Xin and her family."
"Hey, I heard from Lan Xin that they also went to Shanghai..."
Old Lady Lan, Zhao Yuxia, and Chen Baoni who was temporarily brought here, were chattering here, while Yingying and Yueyue took Zhao Yueling to the village to play with other children of the same age in the village.
As for Lan Xin, she looked at the two sturdy men, Zhao Qingfeng and Aqing, with a smile, "Did you enjoy the vegetables you brought back last time?"
Ah Qing nodded quickly: "It's big, fresh and delicious. My family even asked where I bought it from. It's of such good quality."
"If you like them, you can pick some more and bring them back to the car later. Alas, it's a pity that my vegetable garden is too small and I can't grow many vegetables. The newly expanded yard has a few more plots of land, but I don't have time to cultivate them for the time being. You know, it's such a waste to leave them lying idle."
Lan Xin pointed at the empty space and said with emotion.
Looking at the dry, dusty vegetable field, Zhao Qingfeng was silent. He immediately guessed what Lan Xin was thinking. A Qing nodded foolishly.
"Yes, it's such a waste to leave the land empty. How about I open it up and plant some rapeseeds. Then I can grow a lot of vegetables."
Thinking of those big, sweet tomatoes, Aqing couldn't help swallowing.
Seeing that Aqing actually offered to help, Lan Xin's eyes lit up. This young man is very sensible.
But she couldn't let the guests come to help plow the land, so she quickly stretched out her hand to stop them: "Oh, no, no, it's not right to let guests come to work at home."
"Sister Lanxin, this kind of work is a piece of cake for me. As long as you grow some vegetables by then, just give me some more." Aqing was still yelling here, and Zhao Yuxia on the side nodded after listening.
"Qingfeng, since you're here, why not do some work for Yueling's savior? You're free anyway." As she said that, she took a bite of the cucumber in her hand.
It was sweet and juicy, and it made me feel cool after eating it. How could she have the nerve to take such a delicious cucumber without doing anything wrong?
Zhao Yuxia has already made an agreement with Grandma Lan and Chen Bao that they will go to their large vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. In that case, what's wrong with my brother helping them with some work?
Besides, Lan Xin's husband was not at home, only Old Man Lan was there. They were not like her and Old Lady Lan who hit it off right away. They were free anyway, so what was wrong in helping with some work?
"Comrade Lan Xin, where are your hoe and other tools? Let's finish the work as soon as possible while the weather is not too hot." Zhao Qingfeng said politely.
"No, no." Lan Xin refused and pointed to the thatched house, "The hoe and the other things are inside."
After listening to Lan Xin's words, Zhao Qingfeng found five hoes placed at the door as soon as he entered the thatched hut.
Zhao Qingfeng: “…”
Although he is not a farmer, which good family would have five hoes and other tools at home?
Lan Xin smiled innocently: "I'll go pour some water on the ground to soften the soil so you can relax a little."
She went to the village to borrow several hoes last night, fearing that they would not have enough tools to share if they were busy.
There was no reason to let guests work. Lan Xin waved her hand and called Lan Xi over. Then the three men started working in the fields.
Young men are really strong. Lan Xin swung the hoe and stopped to rest after three swings, but they swung it more than ten times without stopping.
Lan Xin's heart was finally at ease. It looked like she could plant the seeds in her vegetable garden in the afternoon.
Fortunately, she was well prepared and bought the seeds in the city yesterday.
