When they arrived at Qingshi Lane, Li Taohua and Lin Dajiang put the newly purchased pot on and prepared to start cooking.

After Lin Xiaoman called Lin Jingzhe, he trotted over to call Xie Ci'an.

The three of them pulled two horse-drawn carriages towards the market.

After the three of them met up with Wang, the four of them loaded all the things onto the carriage and drove it back.

This trip cost a lot of money.

When Xie Ci'an and his mother put away the things they bought and rushed to the Lin family, Lin Jingzhe was chopping meat and Lin Xiaoman was kneading dough.

Li Taohua came out of the kitchen and greeted Wang with a smile, "Sister Wang, I'll make dumplings and stir-fry some vegetables tonight."

Since Wang had already let it go, she didn't feel embarrassed and simply extended her arm and helped wash the green onions and cabbage.

"I'll help you, let's do it faster."

Seeing this, Xie Ci'an helped Lin Dajiang chop firewood on the other side.

It’s a newly purchased house, and luckily the previous owner couldn’t take many of his things away, so these firewoods were left behind by them.

There is strength in numbers. Half an hour later, the dumplings were ready.

Li Taohua made dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. She also made soup dumplings and fried dumplings, and stir-fried a plate of vegetables.

Eight people sat around the round table and started eating. After a hard day's work, only eating could relieve fatigue.

The next day, the eight people rushed back to Shanglin Village.

After not paying attention to them for a while, Lin Xiaoman discovered that the buds of several rose plants had already shown color, and in about seven or eight days, a large patch of roses would bloom.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Lin Xiaoman added another layer of rotted soil to the roses. There was no other way, roses eat fertilizer.

"Xiao Man, you should be frugal. The fertilizer should be saved for rice planting in May and June. Don't use it all up."

Lin Dajiang kept a close eye on his pieces of decomposed soil. Lin Xiaoman only dug a small piece, but Lin Dajiang kept nagging about it for two days.

"Dad, I got it. If it's not enough, you can find some more land for composting. We have plenty of chicken and duck manure at home. It would be a waste if we don't use it."

"You think I don't want to? I'm just afraid your mother will find it smelly. Otherwise, why would I wait for you to urge me?"

"Mother has not yet fully realized the benefits of composting. If she knew that composting can increase rice yields, given her temperament, she would definitely ask you to use all the land in front of and behind the house."

Lin Dajiang shrank his neck and looked back carefully. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "Xiaoman, be careful or your mother will beat you up."

When Lin Xiaoman saw Li Taohua suddenly appear behind Lin Dajiang, he narrowed his eyes and smiled happily, "Dad, Mom is not like what you said."

"Why not? Your mother is just like me, she is obsessed with money. If you tell her that she can make money, she will be happy even if she has to sleep in the toilet, tsk~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Taohua stood behind Lin Dajiang with her hands on her hips, looking at him sinisterly.

Lin Dajiang seemed to realize something and turned around.

His eyes met Li Taohua’s.

The next second, Li Taohua twisted his ear.

Lin Dajiang yelled, "Taohua, listen to me~ That's not what I meant..."

Lin Xiaoman watched his father leave in embarrassment with a smile, then turned around and continued digging the rotted soil.

The excavated rotten soil was mixed with the soil from the ground and spread evenly on the ground.

There is another batch of rose seedlings taken from cuttings in the space that can be planted outside, about sixty in total.

There are also some hydrangea seedlings that survived after being grafted last year.

This time, they are all planted outside to make room for new seedlings.

However, hydrangeas bloom at most twice a year, with the first blooming at the end of May. Hydrangeas have a long flowering period and can bloom for two months if there is sufficient water. They are ornamental flowers.

However, hydrangeas need to be pruned in time after the first season of flowers fade, and they need to be well cared for with plenty of water and fertilizer so that they can bloom again in August.

However, due to the lack of fertilizers in ancient times, it was basically impossible to have two seasons.

Under Lin Xiaoman's careful care, a field of green roses with lush branches and buds are blooming on the barren land.

Lin Xiaoman has begun looking forward to the spectacular sight of roses blooming in clusters in a dozen days.
