Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

"Haha, we caught him!" the crowd cheered.

Nalan Ming walked over, looking at the excited crowd, and then at Lin Chu and Nian Qiu sitting comfortably on the blanket. His heart was filled with happiness. He thought that this wasteland would soon be covered with green trees, and that his family and friends would be safe and happy. How wonderful.

Lin Chusheng lit a fire and roasted the wild rabbit. The aroma filled the air, and everyone sat together to share the rabbit meat and snacks. Laughter echoed in this future osmanthus grove.

Nianqiu's mouth was covered in grease from eating, and Nalan Ming carefully wiped it off for her. As the sun set, its afterglow bathed everyone, creating a beautiful pastoral scene, and everyone enjoyed the comfort and satisfaction of the moment.

Wu Di stayed at Lin Chu's house without any intention of leaving, until—Old Master Wu also arrived.

He brought herbs with him, and he had traveled a long and dusty journey, and had lost a lot of weight. Compared to the energetic old man when they parted last time, he looked rather thin now, and even Old Wu, who had been following him, looked emaciated.

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Chu's eyes reddened when she saw the person, and she called out, "Grandpa."

Grandpa Wu walked into the house, put down the herbs, patted Lin Chu on the shoulder, and said, "Ya Ya, don't cry. Grandpa is fine. He just didn't eat well while gathering herbs in the mountains. You can make me some good food to help him recover."

Lin Chu burst into laughter through her tears, quickly took the bundle from Old Master Wu, and helped the old man sit down.

Wu Di stepped forward and teased, "Grandpa, why did you go all the way here yourself? You could have just sent someone to tell me that I'm taking Fatty to the capital."

Old Master Wu rolled his eyes at him. "Hmph, you brat, you're so carefree. I've come to check on you. First, to see if you've caused any trouble, and second, to see if Ya Ya is doing well and if she's being bullied." As he spoke, he glanced at Nalan Ming.

Nalan Ming replied with a smile, "Grandpa, don't worry, no one here would dare to make A-Chu suffer."

Hearing his gentle tone, Old Master Wu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Nianqiu, who was hiding behind Lin Chu and staring at him curiously with her big, watery eyes.

The old man immediately changed his expression, smiling lovingly as he beckoned to Nianqiu: "This must be my great-granddaughter, right? Come here, let your great-grandfather hold her."

Wu Di interjected, "Grandpa, it's Great-Grandpa."

Old Master Wu glared at him, and the boy immediately shrank back and shut his mouth.

In her letter to the Wu family, Lin Chu mentioned that she had adopted her niece, so Old Master Wu didn't ask any further questions. However, he knew that Lin Chu's lack of children was a source of worry for her, and that was why he had come to see her this time.

Xiao Nianqiu looked at her mother and then at her father. Seeing that they both nodded, confirming that the strange old man in front of her was really not a bad person, she walked towards him and sweetly called out, "Great...Grandpa."

Grandpa Wu happily picked up Nianqiu and took out a small jade pendant from his pocket, hanging it around Nianqiu's neck. "Grandpa didn't prepare any gift for our meeting. This jade pendant has been with Grandpa for many years. Now I'm giving it to my dear great-granddaughter." Nianqiu touched the jade pendant and thanked him in a clear voice.

In the following days, Lin Chu tried various ways to cook delicious food for Old Master Wu, and Old Master Wu's health gradually recovered, and his face regained its rosy color.

One day, he called Lin Chu aside and handed her a packet of seeds. "Ya Ya, these are seeds of a rare medicinal herb. It's said that if you plant them and take good care of them, they can cure many ailments. I thought you have a lot of wasteland here, so why don't you try planting these?" Lin Chu took the seeds with delight and nodded repeatedly.

Grandpa Wu looked at Nalan Ming and Wu Di, who were playing with Nianqiu in the courtyard, sighed slightly, and said softly to Lin Chu, "Nalan Ming is a good boy. I hope you two can always get along so well. As for Wu Di, you have to keep an eye on him and not let him be naughty all the time."

Then the old man took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket. He hesitated for a moment, but seeing Lin Chu's expectant gaze, he handed the bottle to her.

“These are pills I made using herbs I found based on the medical books left by the old monk. Hmm… While they can help you get pregnant, the risks are not small… You… should think about it… However… Grandpa thinks that now that you have Nianqiu, it’s better to… leave it as it is and not take any risks.”

To be honest, having lived two lives, Old Master Wu had long since stopped caring about things like continuing the family line. So he still wanted to advise Lin Chu that it was fine if they didn't have children; the two of them could live a good life together.

Lin Chu looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, showing no intention of returning it to Old Master Wu. After a long while, she nodded and said, "I will think it over, Grandpa."

After taking the medicine bottle back to her room, Lin Chu carefully hid it in a box.

That night, she lay beside Nalan Ming, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Nalan Ming noticed her unusual behavior and asked her softly. Lin Chu then told him about the old man giving her the pills.

Nalan Ming held her hand tightly and said, "Achu, we have Nianqiu, that's enough. There's no need to take this risk. You know I don't care that much about having children. I'm content as long as you're by my side."

Nalan Ming shared the same thought as Old Master Wu. To him, Lin Chu was far more important than the child he had never met, and he didn't want her to be in danger.

Lin Chu felt a warm glow in her heart, nestled in his arms, and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Chu decided to plant the rare herb seeds brought by Old Master Wu. She asked Nalan Ming to lead people to cultivate a separate piece of land next to the osmanthus forest and sow the seeds according to the method the old master had instructed. Nianqiu watched curiously from the side, helping to water the plants from time to time. She was covered in mud from head to toe but did not want to leave, and was almost rolling around in the mud.

Lin Chu didn't stop her. After she got tired of playing, he let Liu Qing carry her to take a bath.

Little Nianqiu cried out, wanting Lin Chu to wash her, "Mommy wash, no, Auntie wash."

Helpless, Lin Chu could only take the little guy and carry him to the bathroom.

Liu Qing was also happy and helped fetch water.

Dongxue became pregnant, so she took on most of the work.

Lin Chu then undressed Nianqiu and, supporting her soft, white bottom, placed her in a large wooden tub.

The little guy wasn't afraid of water at all, and he was quite brave. As soon as he went in, he started splashing around like crazy.

Just then, a commotion arose outside. Lin Chu quickly finished bathing Nianqiu, wrapped her in a towel, and went out to investigate. It turned out that a few naughty children from the village had sneaked over to see the novel herb seeds and accidentally trampled a small patch of newly cultivated land. Nalan Ming was frowning as he reprimanded them.

Seeing this, Lin Chu quickly reassured everyone, saying that the child was just being silly and would be more careful next time.
