Embarrassed, she covered her mouth and looked at Yang Gongming in puzzlement, "Grandpa …" What's the matter? "
Yang Gongming nodded and said, "Seeing that you are very interested in those vegetable fruits, I'll tell you about them. Also, help me do some work, water it, and fertilizer it."
Pouring water for fertilizer?
Lin Ruoxi felt a little confused. Even if Yang Gongming didn't want to do this, there were other servants to do it.
"You find it strange?" Yang Gongming seemed to see through the woman's doubt and said, "I take care of this garden myself, and never let the servants interfere. Besides San Niang, you're the first person allowed to take care of my treasures."
With these words, Lin Ruoxi seemed to be in a rather good mood. Although she still felt it was strange, she nodded in agreement.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, didn't care. Coincidentally, he could contact Ron, who was preparing the final work of the wedding, and check the progress to see if there were any changes needed.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxi followed Yang Gongming to the garden that they stayed in yesterday.
The morning dew dripped from the leaves, the vegetables in the garden were especially fresh and juicy.
Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to easily touch those vegetables. She followed behind Yang Gongming and arrived at an old hut by the side of the garden.
At this moment, Yang Gongming had changed into a set of blue and grey coarse clothes, which were obviously for farming purposes. Since Lin Ruoxi didn't have anything suitable for her clothes, she gave up.
When Yang Gongming opened the door of the wooden house, a pungent smell came from inside.
Lin Ruoxi immediately covered her face and held her breath, wondering what was inside.
"Hehe, Ruoxi, just stand outside and wait. This place is very lively." Yang Gongming said as he walked in.
Lin Ruoxi curiously waited for more than ten minutes. Then, she saw Yang Gongming with a bucket of plastic tools on his back and a punching bag in his hand.
Yang Gongming explained with a smile, "I don't think you've seen it before. Aren't you curious about the fruits and vegetables and the farm work? This is a fertilizer machine. It contains well-adjusted urea which can be used to fertilize the beans and eggplants."
Lin Ruoxi suddenly nodded her head, a little eager to try it out. If it wasn't for the fact that it looked dirty and had a pungent smell, she would have already tried to use it while wearing a white dress.
"Then... Grandfather, what should I do? " Lin Ruoxi asked.
"When I go to fertilize the vegetables later, you wait until I've finished, then you water the vegetables. There isn't much, but you pour it all over as evenly as you can."
After he finished speaking, Yan Sanniang took a heavy black watering can from somewhere else and passed it to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi smiled as she received it. She thought that Yan Sanniang could easily carry it with one hand, so it shouldn't be too much effort for her to lift it. Unexpectedly, however, after receiving it with one hand, she almost fell to the ground!
Lin Ruoxi quickly raised both of her hands to prevent the kettle from falling off.
"Young Mistress, the water in here is full, so it's a bit heavy." Yan Sanniang said with a kind smile.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the good-natured old woman in shock, her mind filled with disbelief.
The kettle weighed at least forty catties, and it was still strenuous for her to lift it with both hands, but Yan Sanniang was holding it like a goose feather!
Lin Ruoxi, who already knew a lot of things, finally understood that Yan Sanniang was actually not as simple as she appeared to be!
But before she could think about it, Yang Gongming had already led her to the eggplant area to fertilize it.
Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Gongming carefully fertilizer the eggplant seedlings one by one. Then she followed him and sprinkled the seedlings evenly, following Yang Gongming's instructions, watering the fertilizer a little.
"These eggplants need to be fattened up in order to grow strong enough, but if you have more nitrogen fertilizer, it'll be easy to burn the roots, so I told you to add some water to it."
Yang Gongming explained some tricks to Lin Ruoxi while he was busy.
Lin Ruoxi listened attentively. If she met someone she didn't understand, she would ask them from time to time.
Gradually, one old and one young, they worked in the garden for more than an hour before it ended.
When Lin Ruoxi put down the kettle and sat down with Yang Gongming on a nearby blue stone bench to rest, the woman found that her whole body was drenched in sweat.
Her little face was completely red, and her hair was in disarray. A few strands of hair stuck to her forehead as she panted tenderly, looking a bit bedraggled.
Yan Sanniang brought a cup of cold tea. Lin Ruoxi took it and drank it down with a 'gulping' sound.
When she realized that her two elders were smiling at her, the woman lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, child, what is there to be shy about? This is good …" "Very good …" Yang Gongming said with a satisfied smile.
Lin Ruoxi was a little confused. She didn't know what the old man was saying, but he seemed to be praising her.
Yan Sanniang smiled and said, "Master, when I saw the young mistress working just now, I couldn't help but recall the time when the young lady was working a long time ago."
Miss?
Lin Ruoxi was puzzled. Who was that?
Could it be Yang Gongming's daughter, Yang Jieyu?
But why "a long time ago"?
A trace of nostalgia flashed through Yang Gongming's eyes. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's eyes that were filled with doubt, he explained slowly: "Sanniang said Miss is my wife, the grandmother that passed away a long time ago between you and Yang Chen."
Lin Ruoxi finally understood, but felt it was strange. She asked, "Then why did Grandma Yan call you grandma xiaojie?"
This time, Yan Sanniang opened her mouth and said: "Young madam might not know, but in those years, I was actually young miss accompanying married over a maid. After young miss passed away, she also stayed in the Yang Family to serve old master."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. She couldn't believe that Yan Sanniang was just a maid?
Regardless of whether it was her calm attitude, her unfathomable eyes, or the hidden strength she had just discovered, they were all things that a maid shouldn't have!
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but become curious about her in-laws who she hadn't had the time to meet. What kind of woman would actually have such strength when she left behind a servant girl after she passed away?
"Grandpa, can you tell me what kind of person Grandma really is? It sounds like she's very special." Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.
Yang Gongming sipped a cup of cold tea and turned his head to look at the wide garden.
"Your grandmother …" I don't know where I started, but she died not long after Pojun's marriage ended. She had advanced cancer and her medical conditions were poor. She might have been cured by now …
Your grandmother can't be considered beautiful. When she was young, she was no different from any other woman she met on the street.
When she married me, our living conditions were poor. Although our Yang Family is a very big family, our country was after all still in dire straits back then, and we weren't as commercial and agile as our Tang Family.
Your great-grandfather and I are both in the army. Normally, the income of our entire family would have to be distributed to the families of some of our old subordinates.
Your grandma is very kind. Even at that time, she would often secretly give some leftover food to stray dogs, and wild cats that pass by the yard … Your great-grandfather scolded her several times for that, but she didn't change it.
"Now that I think about it, I often wonder if she used the money to make clothes to exchange for food for those cats and dogs. Hehe …"
Listening to Yang Gongming talk about the events of a few decades ago, Lin Ruoxi seemed to have flipped open a yellowed page in front of her eyes, sinking into a variety of thoughts.
"Later on, when Pojun was born, the conditions at home became better. After my father's death, I took over as head of the family and, because of my command in Vietnam, hastened the end of the war and was promoted to the rank of marshal.
At that time, my Yanjing was at its peak, but in the twenty years of China's founding, I had actually produced two marshals! The Yang Family had almost reached a whole new peak.
Furthermore, following my exchanges with the overseas economies, I entered the Central Region and like the other three great clans, my Yang Family had greatly increased.
Once a person had money, once they relaxed, they would have all kinds of thoughts that they had never had before …
"It was also at that time that I felt a little dizzy. Seeing that the other clan disciples all had a few beauties accompanying them, I couldn't help but to run into a few other women outside …"
Lin Ruoxi, who was listening to everything just now, blushed when she heard this. She looked at Yang Gongming in disbelief!
