Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 619: Chapter 618: Siblings Collaborate, Planting Spirit Rice_1
 

“Ninth Aunt, Qingluo wants to plant some sorghum.”

Lin Qingluo was excited and smiled sweetly, “Can I try planting it in Ninth Aunt’s vegetable garden first?”

“Sure, whatever you want to plant is fine.”

Ninth Lady Lin agreed readily without any hesitation: “It’s just a small vegetable patch. I’ll pull out the radishes and we can have dumplings for dinner tonight.”

“No need to pull them all out.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes flickered with gratitude as she affectionately hugged Ninth Lady’s arm, “Qingluo is just testing the seeds. I’m not even sure if they can sprout.”

“If little sister wants to plant, the seeds will definitely sprout.”

Lin Jinzhou didn’t even think before responding.

“Mmm, I think so too.”

Lin Jinxu nodded in natural agreement, “There’s nothing little sister can’t do.”

“Ah, you two brothers, you think too highly of me.”

Lin Qingluo’s smile froze, and she was sweating cold bullets.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Unnecessary flattery, it’s started again.

The Lin Clan’s doting on their daughter was not just lip service; their actions speak volumes.

Under Ninth Lady Lin’s instruction, Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou didn’t even enter the house before starting to help out in the vegetable garden.

Each grabbing a hoe, they dug out radishes from the small garden, turned the soil, and helped their younger sister plant her seeds.

Lin Qingluo graciously accepted their kindness, scattering Spirit Rice seeds in the vegetable garden, with half of it watered with Spiritual Spring water, and the other half with well water.

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou accompanied their little sister, helping with watering, adding soil and fertilizer, and covering the area with straw mats.

After more than two Shichen of hard work, the siblings finally wrapped up and returned to the main room for a break.

“Qingluo, have a cup of hot tea to warm up; you must be freezing.”

Ninth Lady quickly had the kitchen maid brew hot tea for them, and personally brought it to the siblings.

“It’s fine, I’m not cold.”

Lin Qingluo picked up the teacup and cheerfully replied, “I didn’t feel cold while working in the vegetable garden; I actually felt quite warm.”

“I broke a sweat too.”

Lin Jinxu laughed along, “The cotton clothes are so thick that I sweat easily when moving.”

“Farming is not easy.”

Lin Jinzhou felt touched, rubbing his arm while grinning, “Using a hoe to till the soil is more tiring than sword practice. My arms are sore after just one afternoon.”

“Don’t know until you try; tending to a vegetable garden is not easy work.”

Ninth Lady agreed wholeheartedly, “When I have nothing else to do, I sometimes help out in the garden, loosening the soil and watering the plants. Even tending to a small patch can be exhausting. I can’t even imagine how hard-working those farmers are.”

Lin Qingluo thoughtfully asked, “Ninth Aunt, are there any farms within the city?”

Ninth Lady’s eyes softened, “I’m not sure about large-scale farms, but there are definitely some scattered fields.”

“Does Ninth Aunt know any familiar households?”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes brightened, “Qingluo wants to learn from their farming experience.”

Ninth Lady pondered for a moment, “I don’t know anyone very well, but I do know some people.”

“Qingluo, if you want to meet experienced farmers, you should ask Fourth Grandfather.”

Lin Jinxu laughed and added, “Fourth Grandfather has been stationed at the border for decades, there’s nobody he doesn’t know. It would be no trouble for him to find all the farmers within the city for you.”

“Jinxu is right.”

Ninth Lady smiled, “With the old man around, we won’t have trouble finding anyone.”

“Mmm, alright.”

Lin Qingluo obediently nodded and responded with a sweet smile.

After tending to the vegetable garden, Ninth Lady indeed instructed the cook to make dumplings for dinner, inviting the three siblings to eat at their house.
