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

Embarrassedly, he reached out to cover his small mouth, 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 it, and by the way, you can help me do some work, water it, and apply some fertilizer." ”

Watering and fertilizing?

Lin Ruoxi felt a little inexplicable, even if Yang Gongming didn't want to do this kind of thing, there were other servants to do.

"Think strange?" Yang Gongming seemed to see the woman's question, and said: "This is the vegetable garden I take care of myself, and I never let the servants interfere, but you are the first person who is allowed to take care of my treasures except for Sanniang." ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Ruoxi was in a little happy, although he still felt weird, but he nodded and agreed.

Yang Chen didn't care, it just so happened that he could contact Ron, who was preparing the final work for the wedding, to confirm the progress and see if there was anything that needed to be changed temporarily.

After breakfast, Lin Ruoxi followed Yang Gongming to the vegetable garden in the backyard where he had been staying for a while yesterday.

The morning dew drips from the grass leaves, and the vegetables and fruits in the courtyard are particularly fresh and tender.

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

Yang Gongming had already changed into a blue-gray coarse cloth shirt at this time, which was obviously equipment for farm work, and Lin Ruoxi gave up because he didn't have any special clothes that were suitable.

When Yang Gongming opened the door of the wooden house, a pungent smell came from inside.

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly covered her face and held her breath, but she was surprised by what was inside.

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

After waiting curiously for more than ten minutes, Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Gongming carrying a bucket of plastic tools on his back, and holding an object similar to a pump in his hand, which was connected into one.

Yang Gongming explained with a smile: "I haven't seen it, aren't you very curious about these vegetables and fruits 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 weren'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 wanted to try to make it.

"That'...... Grandpa, what am I going to do?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"Later, when I go to fertilize those vegetables, you wait for me to finish spreading the fertilizer, and then water the vegetables, not too much, but try to water them as evenly as possible."

After speaking, Yan Sanniang took a heavy black watering can from elsewhere and handed it to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi took it with a smile, thinking that Yan Sanniang could easily hold it with one hand, and she should not have any trouble carrying it, but who knows, she took it with one hand and almost fell directly to the ground!

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly lifted it with both hands, so as not to smash the kettle.

"Young lady, the water here is full, so it's a little heavy", Yan Sanniang smiled kindly.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the old woman who was as kind as ever in surprise, and her mind was full of incredulity.

This kettle is at least forty pounds, and it is still difficult for her to hold it with both hands, but Yan Sanniang actually holds it like a goose feather!

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

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

Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Gongming carefully apply fertilizer to the eggplant seedlings, and then followed closely, sprinkling those seedlings evenly, and diluting the fertilizer according to Yang Gongming's instructions.

"These eggplants have to be topdressed to grow thick enough, but if there is more nitrogen fertilizer, it is easy to burn the roots, so let you add some water......

While Yang Gongming was busy working, he explained some farm work tips to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi listened attentively, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask from time to time.

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

When Lin Ruoxi put down the kettle and sat on the nearby bluestone bench with Yang Gongming to rest, the woman found that her skirt was soaked with sweat.

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

Yan Sanniang brought herbal tea, and after Lin Ruoxi took it, she drank a big bowl of "Gu Dong Gu Dong" very unladylikely.

When she realized that the two elders were looking at her with a smile, the woman lowered her head embarrassedly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, you kid, what is there to be ashamed of, that's 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 she seemed to be praising herself.

Yan Sanniang said with a smile: "Master, when I saw the young lady working just now, the old body couldn't help but think of the figure of the young lady when she was working a long time ago." ”

Miss?

Lin Ruoxi wondered, who is that?

Could it be Yang Gongming's daughter Yang Jieyu?

But why "a long time ago"?

A trace of nostalgia flowed in Yang Gongming's eyes, and seeing Lin Ruoxi's watery eyes full of doubt, he explained slowly: "The young lady Sanniang said is my wife, that is, your grandmother who has passed away with Yang Chen for a long time. ”

Lin Ruoxi then understood, but she felt strange again, and asked, "Then why does Granny Yan call Grandma Miss?"

This time, Yan Sanniang said: "The young lady doesn't know, the old man was actually a maid who was married by the young lady, and after the young lady died, she has been staying in the Yang family to serve the master." ”

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, Yan Sanniang turned out to be just a wedding maid?

No matter from the calm attitude, unfathomable eyes, and the hidden strength just discovered, it doesn't look like what a maid should have!

couldn't help but be very curious about the grandmother who didn't have time to meet her mother-in-law, what kind of woman was the maid left behind after her death would be so powerful?

"Grandpa, can you tell me what kind of person grandma is, it sounds like she is very special", Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Gongming took a sip of herbal tea, turned his head, looked at the wide vegetable garden, and smiled with feeling.

"Your grandmother...... I don't know where to start with you, she died not long after she got married, she had terminal cancer, and the medical conditions at that time were poor, and now she may be cured......

Your grandma she ...... It's not pretty, and when I'm young, it's no different from other women I meet on the street.

When I married her, we lived in very poor conditions. Although our Yang family is a big family, after all, the country was in ruins, and we were not as business-minded and flexible 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 shared with the families of some old subordinates, so it is barely enough for the Yang family to have food and clothing.

Your grandmother is very kind, and at that time, she often secretly gave some leftover meals to stray dogs, passing by the wild cats in the yard...... I was scolded a few times by your great-grandfather for that, but she secretly didn't change it.

Now that I think about it, I often wonder if she used all the money to make clothes to exchange food for those cats and dogs, hehe......"

Listening to Yang Gongming laughing and talking about the past decades ago, Lin Ruoxi's eyes seemed to open a yellowed painting page and fell into various thoughts.

Later, when Pojun was born, the conditions at home also improved. After my father's death, I took over the position of patriarch, and at the same time, because of my command on the battlefields of Vietnam, which hastened the end of the war, I was also added to the rank of marshal.

At that time, I was at the height of the limelight in Yanjing, but during the 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were two marshals in one school! The Yang family has almost reached a new peak.

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

Once people have money, once they are comfortable, they will have all kinds of thoughts that they did not have before......

It was at that time that your grandfather and I, my brain was a little dizzy, looking at the children of other families, all of whom were accompanied by a few red faces, and I couldn't help it, and I met a few women outside......"

Listening to it just now, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but blush when she heard this, and looked at Yang Gongming in disbelief!
