Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 721 - 720: Vegetable Planting (Part 2)

"So it’s red root spinach," Le Zhao nodded, and then suspiciously said, "Is this spinach name given by Miss Shen herself?"

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment, then nodded, "I suppose so."

Duan Yunfei chuckled, "Is this the end, or shall we continue?"

"Let’s plant another row," Le Zhao said, "I find it quite fun."

Someone like him, normally a wealthy son, usually waits to be served and never knows what those vegetable seeds look like.

He never knew that this is how vegetables are planted.

When the three of them finished planting the land in the greenhouse, the sun was already overhead.

Shen Qingning thought they had gone back already. She was a bit surprised when she saw them coming out of the greenhouse.

"Qinglan, it’s already noon, how come you’re not taking the two gentlemen back for lunch?"

"We’re not hungry," Duan Yunfei said with a smile, "Le Zhao said he’s never planted vegetables before, so he asked to do it a bit longer."

Shen Qingning laughed, "Thank you both gentlemen for the hard work."

"Not at all," Le Zhao shook his head with a smile, "You all do the hard work. This was my first time working the land, purely for fun. If you asked me to plant vegetables long-term, I couldn’t manage."

Shen Qingning nodded with a smile, "We’re heading down the mountain too, why not go back together?"

The three of them nodded.

After descending the mountain, Shen Qingning invited the two to her home for lunch, but they declined.

Duan Yunfei said with a smile, "By now, the elders should be done talking too. We don’t want to keep them waiting; maybe next time."

Shen Qingning didn’t insist, simply laughed and said, "No worries, there’s always plenty of time ahead."

Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao both nodded with smiles.

The group finally parted ways at Shen Qinglan’s doorstep.

After entering, Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao nodded in greeting to the elders.

"Finally back," Dong Yao laughed, "Qinglan, where did you take the two gentlemen on a tour?"

Shen Qinglan went to the water jar, asked Piao Xue to fetch some water for her, then while washing her hands said, "Took them to plant some vegetables."

"Plant vegetables?" Everyone present was stunned.

Luo Jing laughed and asked, "What kind of vegetables did you plant?"

Shen Qinglan replied, "A variety."

She shook the water off her hands before taking the dipper from Piao Xue, fetching water for Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao to wash their hands.

"The winter is coming, can these vegetables survive?" Luo Jing asked.

"I don’t know if they can survive," Madame Jiang said helplessly, "It was Qinglan who came up with the idea. We all advised her against it, but she insisted on trying. Her second cousin went along with her; hopefully, it won’t be a waste of effort." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Qinglan came up with the idea?" Luo Jing smiled, "Then it definitely will work."

"Aunt Duan trusts me that much?" Shen Qinglan was surprised.

Even she has some doubts about whether those vegetable seedlings will actually thrive.

"Of course!" Luo Jing nodded. "Qinglan is so smart, I believe you can do it."

Uh...

Shen Qinglan twitched her mouth; with such words spoken, if those vegetable seedlings don’t grow, wouldn’t she lose face?

Seems she can only pray to heaven not to let her down.

Perceiving her thoughts, Duan Yunfei laughed brightly beside her.

"Are the two gentlemen hungry?" Old Shen laughed, "Come sit down and eat."

Both nodded. Shen Qinglan sat next to Dong Yao, while Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao sat by Duan Nian.

After lunch, Duan Nian and Luo Jing prepared to head back to town.

Before leaving, Shen Qinglan packed about twenty field crabs for Le Zhao to take with him.

Duan Yunfei looked at her with lingering eyes for a long time, and only reluctantly boarded the carriage when she looked back and smiled at him.
