Chapter 84 - Sowing Seeds
" alright , that's enough " even though Su Wan was a little angry at being interrupted while kissing , she still needed to dissuade Lin Chen from teasing Lin Rui who looked as if he was going to blow off steam from his face any moment " didn't Jing ge said that he will be sowing seeds today ? Why are you here instead of helping him "
Lin Chen who was busy teasing , Lin Rui finally stopped , smiling he turned to face Su Wan , quite happy about listening to Su Wan's voice so early in the morning " we are starting to sow the seeds , that's why eldest brother asked me to call you , he wants you to supervise , the sowing of the seeds "
Though Lin Jing and Lin Chen were really apt in farming , they still thought that it was quite correct for them to wait for Su Wan to wake up before they sow the seeds , they were used to farming but they weren't used to this new way of farming .
Generally , they used to sow the seeds directly in the land nor did they paid attention to whether the seeds were kept properly or not but Su Wan told them that - that wasn't the correct way , instead she asked them to keep the seeds in the spring room to keep them warm and the night before yesterday she asked them to soak the seeds in warm and clean water , something they didn't do before.
Thus , Lin Jing asked Lin Chen to call for Su Wan to supervise . Actually , Lin Chen arrived the moment , Lin Rui began kissing Su Wan but instead of interrupting them , he tactfully retreated back and gave the two of them a few minutes to settle the ' fire ' burning inside them . Lin Chen was jealous but he wasn't a cock blocker , he wouldn't interrupt his brother while the latter was having a good time , if he wasn't in a hurry he wouldn't have interrupted at all .
" Oh , I will be there " now that she knew that Lin Chen didn't disturb her and Ah Rui just for fun , she calmed down a bit , nodding to Lin Chen she said " You go first , I will come to the spring room once I'm cleaned up "
" Alright " Lin Chen agreed with a grin and walked away and once his back was no longer visible , Su Wan and Lin Rui exchanged a glance then both of them bursted out in laughter . Talk about awkward , it was their first time kissing outside and they were caught on the first attempt .
How embarrassing and laughable !
" I will go and check out if They need any help " said Lin Rui , he looked oddly flushed but in a rather good mood , Su Wan nodded and she too went back inside her room where she tidied her hair and tied it in a bun before going to the out house to wash herself up .
On the other side , Lin Jing was fixing the roof of the spring room with the straw thatches that they have woven earlier , even though the roof was not that broken , Lin Jing still wanted to be safer than sorry , winter was just around the corner and if they messed up at such a crucial point , they might really suffer huge losses . So , Lin Jing wasn't prepared to take even the least bit of risk .
When Su Wan reached the spring room , Lin Jing and Lin Chen had just finished preparations . While Lin Rui was responsible for carrying the bucket of the soaked seeds , Su Wan greeted Lin Jing enthusiastically who returned her greeting with a doting expression on his face .
Then with a anxious and skeptical Mother Lin ( who came to watch ) , Su Wan and Lin Rui scattered the seeds in the field that Lin Jing had plowed before . Su Wan had selected the seeds of such vegetables that had shorter growth such a bok choy , spinach ,chives etc- she was heavily dependent on this hot spring to get her first huge bucket of gold . As long as everything went alright , Su Wan was certain that they would be able to sell their vegetables in the market while all the others were busy planting them .
That would give them a big advantage over the others .
Once all the seeds were planted , Lin Jing and Lin Chen turned to wash themselves clean , they had bright back black mud from the river side earlier this morning and had it mixed together with the soil of the spring room , hoping to raise the fertility of the soil .
On the other Su Wan asked Lin Rui to take the left over soil and spread it around the front garden , she wanted to cultivate the soil here as well . Though she had already sowed seeds of garlic , cucumber , winter melon in the spring room , she also wanted to grow some flowers in her front garden .
The Ling family had went to extreme lengths to make the entire place much more dilapidated and abandoned than it would have originally been , if not for their extra efforts .
The whole family worked hard for quite a few hours and only stopped when Lin Yan furiously puffed out his chest and shouted at them to eat their meals before he decides that neither of them wanted to eat his cooking and stop making breakfast from today onwards .
Su Wan knew that he was bluffing but the others took Lin Yan 's warning quite seriously , even Lin Chen who on various occasions , passed unsatisfactory comments on Lin Yan 's cooking .
Today's breakfast comprised of a lot of dishes from last night , the only difference was that Lin Yan had steamed some mantou and Su Wan immediately understood why he actually pretended to be angry - the mantou tasted good only when it was warm and Lin Yan wanted his family to eat warm and delicious food .
Everyone ate in silence , though they were famished they were content with today's work . Lin Yu who had been silent for most of the breakfast after swallowing his fourth mantou , finally broke the silence " Second b…brother can I g..go to the t..town wit…with you ?"
As soon as Lin Yu placed this request of his forward almost instantly everyone except Su Wan stopped their actions and stared at Lin Yu with stunned expressions.
