Chapter 945 [Dowry Maid]

945

Hearing the word "vegetable garden", Lin Ruoxi almost choked after taking a mouthful of rice porridge. *.*

He stretched out his hand to cover his small mouth in embarrassment, and looked at Yang Gongming suspiciously, "Grandpa...what's the matter?"

Yang Gongming nodded and said: "Seeing that you are very interested in those vegetables and fruits, I will tell you about them. By the way, you can help me with some work, watering and fertilizing."

Water and fertilize?

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.

"Think strange?" Yang Gongming seemed to see the woman's question, and said, "This is the vegetable garden I tended by myself, and I never let the servants interfere. You are the first one to allow me to take care of my garden besides Sanniang." Baby man."

Having said that, Lin Ruoxi felt a little happy, although she still felt weird, she nodded in agreement.

Yang Chen doesn't care, it just so happens that he can contact Ron, who is preparing for the final work of the wedding, to confirm the progress and see if there is any need for temporary changes.

After breakfast, Lin Ruoxi followed Yang Gongming to the vegetable garden in the backyard where she stayed for a long time yesterday.

The morning dew drips from the leaves of grass and vegetables, and the fruits and vegetables in the yard are extraordinarily fresh and tender.

Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to touch those vegetables lightly, followed Yang Gongming to an old hut beside the vegetable garden.

At this time, Yang Gongming had already changed into blue-gray coarse clothes, which were obviously equipment for doing farm work. Lin Ruoxi gave up because she 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 quickly covered her face, holding her breath, but was surprised what was inside.

"Hehe, Ruoxi, just stand outside and wait, it smells great here," Yang Gongming said, and walked in.

After Lin Ruoxi waited curiously for more than ten minutes, she saw Yang Gongming carrying a plastic tool in a barrel on his back, and holding an object like a pump in his hand, connecting them together as one.

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, which contains prepared urea, which can fertilize those beans and eggplants."

Lin Ruoxi nodded suddenly, a little eager to try, if it wasn't for the fact that this thing looked dirty and had a pungent smell, and she happened to be wearing a white dress, she would have tried to use it.

"Then... Grandpa, what should I do?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"When I go to fertilize those vegetables later, you water those vegetables after I finish spreading the fertilizer. You don't need too much, but try to water them as evenly as possible."

After finishing speaking, it happened that Yan Sanniang brought a heavy black watering can from elsewhere, and handed it to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi took it with a smile. She thought that Yan Sanniang could easily hold it with one hand, so she should not have to bother to carry it, but who knows, when she took it with one hand, she almost fell to the ground!

Lin Ruoxi quickly raised her hands, so as not to smash the kettle.

"Young Madam, this place is full of water, so it's a bit heavy." Yan Sanniang and Lin Ruoxi looked at the old lady who was as kind as ever in surprise, their minds were filled with disbelief.

The kettle weighed at least forty kilograms, and she was struggling to carry it with both hands, but Yan Sanniang was holding it like a goose feather!

Lin Ruoxi, who already knew a lot of things, finally realized that Yan Sanniang was not as simple as it seemed on the surface!

But before she had time to think about it, Yang Gongming had already led her to start fertilizing near the eggplants.

Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Gongming carefully fertilize the eggplant seedlings one by one, and then followed closely, watering the seedlings evenly, and diluting the fertilizer according to Yang Gongming's instructions.

"These eggplants need to be topdressed to grow strong enough, but too much nitrogen fertilizer will easily burn the roots, so I ask you to add some water"...

Yang Gongming was busy while explaining some farming tips to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi listened intently, and would ask questions from time to time when she encountered something she didn't understand.

Gradually, one old and one young, in the vegetable garden, did farm work for more than an hour before finishing.

When Lin Ruoxi put down the water bottle and sat down on the nearby bluestone bench with Yang Gongming to rest, the woman found that the skirts all over her body were soaked with sweat.

The little face was flushed, the temples were slightly disheveled, a few strands of hair stuck to the forehead, panting delicately, a little embarrassed.

Yan Sanniang brought herbal tea, and after Lin Ruoxi took it, she drank a big bowl of it in a very unladylike manner.

When she realized that the two elders were smiling and looking at her, the woman lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, you kid, what's there to be shy about? This is very good... very 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 it seemed that she was praising herself.

Yan Sanniang smiled and said: "Master, just now when I saw the Young Madam working, I couldn't help but think of Miss working a long time ago."

Miss?

Lin Ruoxi wondered, who is that?

Could it be Yang Jieyu, daughter of Yang Gongming?

But why "a long time ago"?

There was a trace of nostalgia in Yang Gongming's eyes. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's wide-open watery eyes full of doubts, he slowly explained: "The miss Sanniang mentioned is my wife, that is, you and Yang Chen passed away a long time ago. dead grandma."

Only now did Lin Ruoxi understand, but she felt strange, and asked, "Then why does Granny Yan call you Miss Grandma?"

This time Yan Sanniang said: "Young Madam doesn't know, when I was old, I was actually a servant girl married by Miss. After Miss passed away, she stayed in Yang's house to serve Master."

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe it, Yan Sanniang was just a dowry maid?

Regardless of her calm attitude, unfathomable eyes, and newly discovered hidden strength, she doesn't look like what a maid should have!

Involuntarily, Lin Ruoxi became very curious about the grandmother of her husband's family who hadn't had time to meet her, what kind of woman actually passed away, "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 took a sip of the herbal tea, turned his head, looked at the spacious vegetable garden, and let out a grateful smile.

"Your grandma... I don't know where to start to tell you. She passed away not long after giving birth to Po Jun. She was suffering from terminal cancer. The medical conditions at that time were poor. Now, she may be dying. cure it...

Your grandma... is not beautiful. When she was young, she was no different from other women you met on the street.

When she and I married me, our living conditions were very poor. Although our Yang family is a big family, after all, the country was waiting for prosperity, and we were not as business-minded as the Tang family.

Your great-grandfather and I are both in the army, and the income of the whole family on weekdays has to be apportioned to the families of some old subordinates. Therefore, we can barely provide food and clothing for the Yang family.

Your grandma is very kind. At that time, she often secretly gave some leftover meals to stray dogs and stray cats passing by the yard... for that matter, your great-grandfather scolded her a few times, but she also secretly The land has not changed.

Thinking about it now, I often wonder if she used all the money for making clothes to exchange food for those cats and dogs, hehe..."

Listening to Yang Gongming laughing and talking about the past decades ago, Lin Ruoxi seemed to be turning over a yellowed picture page, and fell into various thoughts.

"Later, when Pojun was born, the family conditions improved. After my father passed away, I took over the position of patriarch. At the same time, because of my command on the Vietnam battlefield, which accelerated the end of the war, I was also added to the rank of marshal. military rank.

At that time, I was at the peak of the limelight in Yanjing, and in the twenty years since the founding of Huaxia, there were two marshals from the same school! The Yang family has almost reached a new peak.

And with the exchange of overseas economies, after I entered the central government, correspondingly, like the other three major families, the strength of the Yang family has increased significantly.

Once a person has money, once he is at ease, he will have all kinds of thoughts that he never had before...

It was at that time that your grandfather and I were a little dizzy, and seeing the children of other families, there were a few beauties for company, and I couldn't hold back, and met a few other women outside..."

He was listening well just now, when Lin Ruoxi heard this, she couldn't help but blushed, and looked at Yang Gongming in disbelief!
