Chapter 145: Natural Prosperity to the Family
On Su Danhong’s side, she had completed confinement. It was convenient to do things now, especially taking a bath. She felt like she had shed a layer of skin that weighed 30 pounds!
There’s no other feeling like it. It was really unfortunate that her mother was extremely strict. During confinement, she was not allowed to touch the water at all. When the day started, she could only use a hot towel to wipe herself down. She couldn’t do anything else. If she dared to ask her mother, she would be lectured for half the day for not knowing how lucky she was, and then her mother would tell her how hard it was for her generation during confinement. Going through confinement properly was really important!
Who didn’t know that the women had to go back to work after three days of giving birth to a child? Otherwise, the whole family couldn’t even eat gruel.
Su Danhong was afraid of her, so she put up with it.
But now, she was free!
This confinement had been worry free because of Mother Su being around, especially for Ji Jianyun.
There’s no need for him to worry about things at home. He just had to work in the orchard.
Strawberries had been sold in the market starting two weeks ago.
It was now peak season. Every day, there were many strawberries to pick.
This year, Mother Ji planted a lot of strawberries, and the harvest was excellent. Aside from Su Jindang, who wanted to sell them every day, Lao Qin also came to pick them up. The strawberry business was really good. Many people in the county loved it. It was really delicious, and it was not expensive.
But even so, there are still many strawberries left.
That’s why Ji Jianyun went to Jiangshui City to directly sell a lot of strawberries and eggs.
Ji Jianyun was pretty busy, and it was difficult for him to take care of his family. If Mother Su did not come, he could he do any work.
Su Danhong felt relaxed about it. Mother Su was her own mother after all. Apart from being talkative, there was nothing else she could not do.
Now that Mother Su had gone back, Su Danhong had to take care of everything at home by herself.
However, this was not a big problem for her. Qiqi, the second son was fine being carried around. He was much better than his brother.
Su Danhong thought that it might be related to her diet. When she had eldest son, Renren, she had paid attention to her diet. She ate three meals a day, but would only occasionally eat fruit.
But when she was pregnant with her second son, it was peak fruit season in the orchard on the mountain. She ate it every day. During the winter, Jianyun also went to buy oranges from the south. The oranges were delicious and she liked them very much.
Even if it was not cheap, Jianyun bought a lot for her to eat, and she ate very happily.
Since Qiqi was a newborn, his skin was particularly good. Renren’s skin was similar, but not as white as Qiqi’s. Qiqi was white like a little girl, and his features were delicate. He didn’t look like a boy at all.
Although he had a delicate appearance, his personality was definitely overbearing.
Especially his screams. Renren could only frown when he howled. If Qiqi was slightly unhappy, his screams could get him what he wanted. If he didn’t, there would be two voices screaming.
Su Danhong did not dare to go against what he wanted. It was too noisy.
However, this boy was still very easy to please and his personality was easy to figure out. As long as she cleaned and fed him, he didn’t care about what she did. He would play with his fingers and sleep.
That day, Ji Jianyun came back carrying Renren. He was still at the door when he heard his second son’s loud voice.
“My brother is crying again. He’s so noisy,” Renren frowned at his father and said with frustration.
“Your brother is still young. You were like this when you were young,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
“Me too?” Renren was surprised.
He was not yet two years old. However, this year, after going to the mountain to play with the older children, his language abilities had improved rapidly.
The strawberries were ripe and children were experts at picking them. Mother Ji would hire some children in the village to help with the picking.
She had told them beforehand that they were not allowed to secretly eat any while picking the strawberries. When they finished, everyone would give them some strawberries and some money. If anyone dared to eat any secretly, then they couldn’t pick any strawberries next time.
The strawberry picking was a great task in the eyes of the children in the village. For them, it was not tiring at all. Having money and the chance to eat strawberries was important. They were very happy.
Renren liked going up the mountain and playing with the older children. They all knew that he was the son of their boss’s family and took good care of him.
Ji Jianyun chuckled and patiently explained, “All children do the same thing. Your brother is a good boy.”
“Okay.” Renren nodded.
The father and son went inside. Aside from the screams, Qiqi had his diaper changed by his mother. Then, he was playing with his fingers on the kang.
Renren was placed on the kang by his father. He went over to see his brother and kissed him. Qiqi turned to look at him and babbled at him. Renren took out a strawberry from his pocket. It was hard to find strawberries that were this good.
“Brother, eat it,” Renren said as he was about to put it into his brother’s mouth.
Ji Jianyun saw it and said, “Your brother can’t eat yet.”
Su Danhong didn’t know what to do. She had said that several times, but Renren could never remember it.
Renren suddenly had a realization. “Mommy said that my brother doesn’t have teeth yet.”
Right, he remembered when his father reminded him. When he wasn’t reminded, he forgot. After that, he ate the strawberry by himself and comforted his brother as he ate, “When you grow up, I will pick some for you.”
Qiqi took a look at him and continued to play with his fingers.
After eating the strawberry, Renren happily took the picture book next to him and began to turn the pages.
Ji Jianyun talked to Su Danhong about whether they should take over Uncle Ji’s orchard.
After hearing about it, she asked “Did he come to talk to you?”
Uncle Ji was the one who asked Ji Jianyun for some help with his orchard. Aunt Li had also ordered her two sons, Ji Jianchuan and Ji Jianhe, to carry their water back and water the orchard on the mountain.
Later, Ji Jianchuan quit working there and went on to work as a long term worker for Ji Jianyun. He worked in the orchard on the mountain and had been very reliable.
Thus, there was only Uncle Ji, Aunt Li and Ji Jianhe working in their own orchard.
Su Danhong knew about this. She went to the orchard and saw that the seedlings were weak. They looked barely alive, the fruits could not be harvested. The capital they had spent could not be recovered.
“Aunt Li came to me to talk about it. She had to praise you. She said that you naturally brought prosperity to the family. She couldn’t grow anything on that mountain. But when we take over, it will certainly develop,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
“What do you tell her?” Su Danhong smiled back.
Ji Jianyun told her the truth, “If we don’t take over, then I’m afraid that Uncle Ji’s family will lose a lot. But if we do, I’m not sure if we can manage it.”
Su Danhong understood what he meant and said, “If you want it, you can take it over. But you have to talk to your uncle about it. Some things need to be agreed on beforehand to avoid any future confusion. Don’t leave it as a verbal agreement just between relatives. It won’t work like that.”
She had thought about taking over Uncle Ji’s orchard, but it didn’t happen. Now they were coming to her to talk about it, things worked out for her.
But what should be made clear was that after taking over the orchard, it would have nothing to do with them. It was her family’s orchard now. If they still wanted some attachment to it, then do not let her take it over.
