Hu Yitian looked at her rather sheepishly and then went back.
When he got home, he said to his mother, “Mother, how can you make a bet with her? How can she compete with you and father in growing flowers? And those four flower pots are not good.”
“Mother didn't start it, Danhong did,” Aunt Hu replied.
“Isn't this taking advantage of the clueless?” Hu Yitian asked.
“What do you mean? Father and mother might not be able to grow better flowers than her. She really knows flowers,” Aunt Hu said.
A book should not be judged by its cover. Although they didn’t speak for long, Aunt Hu really believed that Su Danhong knew how to grow flowers.
“You don’t know this, but she has the Great Fox Immortal helping her,” Aunt Hu lowered her voice and told her son.
Hu Yitian looked at her angrily and said, “Mother, you also believe in the gossip of the villagers.”
“I didn't believe it at first, but now that I have met her, mother really believes,” Aunt Hu said.
She had seen Ji Jianyun’s wife twice before, and it was like his wife was a completely different person today based on what she had seen. It was no wonder everyone says that she looked like she brought prosperity to the family now. Her entire aura was even nobler than the wife from a landlord's family in the past.
And she spoke properly and really well, with the sincerity of a spring breeze.
“Yitian, you have to look carefully and look for a female classmate that is like this. If there is one, you have to pursue her to be a daughter-in-law for Mother, even if you put all your strength into it. Those who bring prosperity will look like that,” Aunt Hu said.
Hu Yitian suddenly blushed. “Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?”
His.. his school had a lot of pretty female classmates, but it didn’t have any that were like the Ji family’s third sister-in-law.
She didn’t look like a girl from the country at all, and she was more stylish than a girl from the city.
The four pots of chrysanthemum seedlings transported by Hu Yitian were all put outside by Su Danhong. Mother Ji had to speak up and said, “Can they grow like this? The Hu family grows theirs in the greenhouse.”
“It’s all right, just leave it there. We don't have a greenhouse,” said Su Danhong.
When she scooped water out from the water tank, it was actually spiritual spring water. She watered the four chrysanthemum pots and said, “All right, we will just let them grow by themselves.”
“Is that really all right? We don’t need to do more?” Mother Ji was dumbfounded. Is this how the Great Fox Immortal did things?
“Yes, I just need to water it once in a while, and it can grow by itself,” Su Danhong nodded and said.
After testing the spiritual spring water in the orchard, she did not doubt its effectiveness. Its benefit to help plants grow was too great.
She didn’t even have to water the trees on the mountain when she took a look. With the foundation she laid out, the trees still grew vigorously.
On the contrary, if she looked at the fruit trees planted by other families in the village who were trying to copy her, the quality was not as good.
If it worked for the fruit trees, then why wouldn’t it work for a few flowers?
“Won’t we have to wait until next August to see if they can flower?”Mother Ji asked.
“Mhm. These are summer chrysanthemums. They usually bloom from June to September, but these chrysanthemums are a little malnourished. I plan to grow them until August, when they will almost bloom,” Su Danhong said.
If these were autumn chrysanthemums, then they would usually bloom from October to November.
In her last life, her family had a big garden and planted a lot of valuable flowers. She would often go there to take care of them. Thus, she also knew that it would cost 20 to 30 taels of silver to buy a pot of expensive flowers. It was not cheap.
The flowers had to be grown carefully in order to prevent any accidents that would cause the flowers to wither.
However, Su Danhong was not worried about this problem because she had the spiritual spring water.
Mother Ji was skeptical, so she planned on coming over every day to check on the flowers.
In the evening, Ji Jianyun came back with a bunch of things.
In addition to a few large bags of disposable diapers, he bought powdered, malt milk, and even a stroller, the kind where they could put their child in and freely walk around with.
Whether it was a big or small bag, he carried it all.
It also showed that he was tall and strong. If he wasn’t, then he would not be able to carry so many things back.
When Mother Ji saw everything, she was going to say something. However, since everything was already bought and brought back, Ji Jianyun let her say whatever she wanted.
When Mother Ji returned, Ji Jianyun smiled at his wife and said, “There is enough to use for a few months.”
Su Danhong poured him water and made him drink it. Then, she asked, “What did you have for lunch?”
“I ate a bowl of noodles in the town. It was so expensive. One bowl was 80 cents with just a few slices of meat and an egg,” Ji Jianyun said.
“Things are really expensive in town.” Su Danhong chuckled. Aside from the town with the college, even Jiangshui City was expensive. The town also sold noodles. One bowl was for 50 cents, but there was also an egg, and it was full of noodles and a lot of meat.
The last time she went to Jiangshui City with sister Hong to buy an apartment, she invited sister Hong to eat noodles. A bowl was 70 cents, and there wasn’t that much.
“What are you cooking in the kitchen?” Ji Jianyun smelled it and asked.
After a long day, he was really hungry since he didn't eat much in the morning and he didn't have a lot of money to spend while he was outside.
“There was still some beef offal from the last time I asked you to buy some, so I made a soup. We will have some offal noodle soup tonight. Just wait a while before we can eat,” Su Danhong said.
Ji Jianyun nodded and put everything into the house. Although he bought a lot of things, he felt like it was barely anything as soon as he organized it. Afterwards, Ji Jianyun noticed several flowerpots and asked, “Honey, what is this?”
“These are chrysanthemums from Aunt Hu. I made a bet with her.” Su Danhong smiled and then explained the bet between them.
Ji Jianyun raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife. “Honey, did you plan on having Aunt Hu sell flowers for you?”
“No, I didn't think that much about it before I went and I didn’t get that idea until I was there,” Su Danhong said.
The Lao Hu family were also long-time flower growers, and they must have connections. Su Danhong did not think that her flowers would not be sold, but she would have to spend the time and energy to find the right channels to sell them. Instead of doing that, she might as well earn less and give half of it to the Lao Hu family, so that they were split fifty-fifty. This way, she saved herself trouble, and the Lao Hu family would not think that she was trying to compete with them. She would be able to cooperate with them for a long time in the future and kill two birds with one stone.
Ji Jianyun smiled. He trusted his wife when she spoke like that. Moreover, the orchard was started by his wife. What was there in the world that she could not do?
“But next time I won't be so rash. If something like this were to happen again, I will discuss it with you first.” Su Danhong told Ji Jianyun, since the way they approached things still had to be decided between them.
She couldn’t take Ji Jianyun for granted just because he loved her.
In her previous life, her mother told her that a harmonious husband and wife relationship depended on their principles.
Hearing this, Ji Jianyun smiled and asked, “What do you mean?”
“The next time something like this happens, we should discuss it so that we come to the same decision,” Su Danhong looked at him seriously and explained.
Ji Jianyun was stunned. Then, he nodded and agreed, “Okay!”
Su Danhong was satisfied by this.
As the days went by, there was only a few days left before Su Danhong went into labor. One night, Su Danhong’s water broke and she quickly called for Ji Jianyun. “Jianyun! Jianyun! I think the baby is coming!”
