Chapter 48: Cooling Down
Cheng Ling only realized that it was raining when she walked out of Ding residence. The rain was not heavy, but it brought with it the chilly feeling of spring. The air was chilly.
Why was it cooling down again?
On the way back, she took out her phone. The conversation with Lu Qi was still the sa as last night.
The night outside the window was as clear and gentle as water. The rain was falling on the car window, gradually obscuring the night view outside the window.
Her fingers moved quickly on the keyboard of her phone.
[ Farming Professional ] : Are you done with work over there? I have already finished eating with Old Master Ding.
Until Cheng Ling arrived ho, there was no reply.
Before entering the house, Cheng Ling first walked around the field in the rain and checked the conditions of the plants.
“Grandma, the temperature has dropped a little recently. Do you want to add a quilt to your room?”
Xie Ying was still watching TV. When she saw Cheng Ling coming back, she turned down the volu of the TV.
“No need. My room is warm. Look at you, you’re wearing so little. How was the dinner with Old Master Ding?”
“It was pretty good. Grandpa Ding is a good person.”
Xie Ying was scared out of her wits at the end of the day.
“That’s good. I have to thank Old Master Ding for being so lenient. He is not as unreasonable as outsiders have said. It’s really thankful to Old Master Ding that you were not expelled from school.”
It was actually good if she she was expelled. This way, she could focus on studying her dical skills and farming.
Of course, she didn’t dare to say this out loud. Xie Ying could nag her for two days.
“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ve already thanked Old Master Ding many tis. I’ll give him so herbs and ginseng that we planted ourselves so other day as a thank you gift.”
Xie Ying rubbed her hands and said, “Will Old Master Ding look down on these thank you gifts? The Ding family is so rich. They’ve seen all kinds of rare herbs.”
“No, Old Master Ding is quite a simple person.”
Besides, so people couldn’t even buy Cheng Ling’s plants with money.
She put her schoolbag back into her room and went to the tool room to get a raincoat.
“You still want to go out at this ti?”
“Yes, I just went to the field to take a look. So of them can be picked. Otherwise, they will wither after being soaked in the rain for a whole night.”
Although the seedlings that Cheng Ling raised were effective, they were also very “delicate”. If they were not picked at the best ti, even if it was only for an hour, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, many tis, Cheng Ling skipped classes because she had to go back to harvest vegetables.
“Grandma, you should go to bed early. You must have been tired today.”
Xie Ying was indeed tired. After today’s ups and downs, if it were not for Cheng Ling’s return, she would have fallen asleep by now.
“Then you should go to bed early. You still have school tomorrow.”
Cheng Ling responded and walked into the drizzling rain with her raincoat and tools.
The dicinal herbs hadn’t fully grown yet, but so vegetables were ready to be picked.
This ti in the field was when Cheng Ling felt the most relaxed. She didn’t need to think about anything. Facing the simple nature, she could always forget all her worries.
After staying in the field for about half an hour, she picked two baskets full of vegetables and dug out so peanuts.
According to the current climate, she picked so suitable seeds and planted them.
If everything went smoothly, after a night of rain, they should be able to sprout tomorrow.
When everything was settled, Cheng Ling’s waist was sore.
Of course, this feeling was very familiar to her. She touched the rain on her forehead, picked up two baskets of vegetables, and walked back.
Her body was covered in mud, and her hair was also a mixture of rain and sweat. Cheng Ling put her things away and took a shower.
When she ca out, she saw that it was already past ten o’clock. She wiped her dripping hair with a towel while checking her phone.
There were two unread ssages on it, and Cheng Ling clicked on it.
One was sent at 8:45 pm.
[ Lu Qi: I just finished my work. I’m on my way now. ]
The other was sent five minutes ago.
[ Lu Qi: We’re at your door. ]
Cheng Ling’s hand that was wiping her hair froze for a mont. She put down the towel and walked towards the main door.
There was a small light at the door of the small villa. Cheng Ling answered the door and saw… them.
It wasn’t just Lu Qi.
Lu Xiu and Lu Dong were everywhere.
And everyone was holding umbrellas. It looked like so idol group had appeared together.
Cheng Ling’s pajamas were conservative. In addition to the cold weather today, she deliberately took out long sleeves and long pants.
The sky-blue set of clothes made her look simple and refreshing.
“Sorry for being so late. Sorry to bother you,” Lu Qi said. His voice seed to be drenched with rain.
Cheng Ling opened the door a little.
