Good Farming in Spring - C82 mutual trust

Dou Wang subconsciously pressed his chest again. Earlier, he wanted to take the gold with him, but the warmth of the spring didn’t come, so he just asked him to find a chance when no one else could take it and put it into the small jar that was used to hide the gold. This trust made Dou Wang feel guilty, and felt that he couldn’t do that much, and Lin Chunnuan had given him too much.

Mother, the chopsticks and bowls are done, you should go inside the house to rest as well. With the help of Wangzhige, everything will be fine.

Seeing that Dou Wang came to the kitchen with a bamboo basket filled with menthol, Lin Chunnuan chased her mother back to the house to rest.

Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang were already used to doing their work quietly. Other than the sound of the spatula colliding with each other, they had already done it twice, and because of the spring heat, they had plenty of experience, so their techniques were naturally fluid. Although there were a lot of mint essences in that, after mastering it, they quickly finished making the honey-made mint.

The two of them filled the dried mint into a bamboo basket with an inner layer sealed with oil paper. This was specially prepared by the two of them, specially prepared for this purpose. This way, they wouldn’t have to waste oil paper every time.

“Warm Spring, I remember the moment you stir-fry mint. It’s the mint that’s been picked twice as many than the last time, not the tea leaves. Look at my brain.”

Hearing Dou Wang talk about how he miscalculated the tea leaves, Lin Chunnuan laughed softly.

Wangzhige, it’s not like you went to pick the mint yourself, it’s obviously the two of us, don’t blame it on yourself, it would make me feel like I was more wrong, and it’s not like it’s anything big. Forget about the past, we still have so many things to do, such a small thing is nothing to keep in mind.

Dou Wang nodded his head and sealed the basket with oil paper. Then, he remembered something.

“Spring heat, we need to prepare more tea leaves in the bamboo tube and mint basket, so Aunt Lin did not take them back for free. Our newly cut bamboo tube definitely cannot be used immediately, and these will be taken away by Yunhe.”

Being reminded by Dou Wang, Lin Chunnuan remembered that she really needed to prepare two sets of these equipment.

“That’s why you don’t need to remember those things. Isn’t that what you’re using now? It means that your preparations were very accurate.”

It was clearly a fluke, but to be able to be comforted and encouraged by Lin Chunnuan like this, Dou Wang still felt that it was very considerate.

“Warm Spring, you’re so good. You never say that I’m in the wrong. You always encourage me.”

He had lived alone for so many years. He hadn’t heard such thoughtful words for so long.

“What kind of encouragement is this? It’s because the Wangzhige did well, that’s why I said that. In the future, the two of us will work hard and work hard to earn more money. Our family will only get better and better.”

Lin Chunnuan patted her chest as she imagined her future with Dou Wang.

“Yo, your house. The two of you are rather compatible.”

Lin Chunnuan’s words had just happened to be heard by Liu Yunhe who had just woken up, and she happened to make fun of him. Lin Chunnuan did not feel anything yet, but Dou Wang’s face had turned completely red.

“Yunhe, don’t speak nonsense. The spring is still young and we still have to find our parents in the future.

Dou Wang was so anxious that he wanted to cover Liu Yunhe’s mouth. This joke was too big, what if it hurt Chun Wen’s good name?

“Wang Chao, don’t say that you’ve never been tempted by her before. She’s such a nice girl, but after passing this village, she won’t have this shop anymore. If you don’t take good care of her, I’ll find her a good one.”

“Yunhe, we really cannot joke around with you. It’s precisely because of the warmth of spring that we need to pay more attention to our words.”

Dou Wang explained in all seriousness, making Liu Yunhe feel that his joke was a little too excessive, so he quickly cupped his fists and begged for forgiveness.

Liu Yunhe truly felt that the two children in front of him were just two kids, and that he himself was bored and was having fun with them. However, with Dou Wang’s serious attitude, it seemed that his adult self had not done anything, and was actually thinking of something useful all day long.

Sure enough, they heard Dou Wangyi say,

“It doesn’t matter if we say something, but don’t cause any bad consequences to the warm spring weather. By then, it’ll be too late for regret.”

“I was wrong, good brother Wang. Next time, I’ve said too much.”

Liu Yunhe wasn’t the type of person who would joke around. He didn’t like normal people, and he also felt that he was closer to the warm spring air than he thought, so he said some nonsense. However, he didn’t expect his joke to be too excessive.

He was already 11 years old, and in this era, marriage was already decided very early. It wasn’t strange for a boy who was 11 years old to get engaged to someone. Although no one helped Dou Wang with this, he knew that some of the children in the village had already been engaged to someone long ago.

He only wanted to guard her well and protect her. He really did not think too much about the matters of those adults, but now that Liu Yunhe had raised a topic, he really could not calm down a little.

In the past, Dou Wang was so good that he never thought that he would marry in the future. He knew that people in the village despised him, and no one dared to get too close to him even if they called him a Heaven Destroyer, let alone marry a lady.

Although Dou Wang was 11 years old and still didn’t know how husband and wife lived, he had already thought about it. He felt that it would be better if he lived alone for a lifetime, at least he wouldn’t implicate others.

After all, he was still young, so he hadn’t thought about it too much. The only reason he thought this way was because he was too lonely, and he knew that if he married his wife, he wouldn’t be alone anymore. He would have someone to keep him company.

But at the same time, he also knew that his identity was not suitable for him to get married into, and he did not want to implicate others to suffer with him. Even if he envied the children in the village who had families, Dou Wang was very good at keeping his position, otherwise, from the age of five until now, he might not be able to last much longer.

Dou Wang was very glad that he had met such a person, so he also cherished him more. He did not dare to have any thoughts towards Lin Chunnuan, as he wanted Chun Wen to be happy by himself for the rest of his life, so he could not leave this person by his side. What if he were to be involved?

“Yunhe, I will calculate the money for each jar of your honey. Then, you can go back and calculate the money for the tea leaves and mint. The next time you send someone over, bring over a set of account books, I will return the bill back to you.”

Lin Chunnuan brought Liu Yunhe back to Dou Wang’s good room.

Seeing that it was only a joke, the two of them became a little awkward. Lin Chunnuan hurriedly switched the topic to official matters, and in her previous life, Lin Chunnuan had overheard this kind of joke before, so she did not take it to heart. However, for her own good, Dou Wang was protecting her, so she was naturally able to hear it.

“Fine, then let’s calculate the money. Do you have pen and paper?”

Lin Chunnuan could only spread her hands.

Yunhe, next time, ask someone to come and fetch the goods, bring me some ink and paper, no need to be too good, it’s fine if you can write. Then, write the money on the bill, and I will calculate the silver together.

He knew that Lin Chunnuan wanted to be strong, if he insisted on giving it to her, she would definitely not be happy, and might not let him give her anything ever again.

“Sure, I will get someone to do it well. I will also remember the money, so you can calculate it together.”

Towards such an attitude, Lin Chunnuan was more receptive.

If it is convenient for Yunhe, help me bring out a small piece of cotton cloth. It needs a piece of white cloth or something more beautiful that you can see.

“Is this what you call getting ahead of yourself? You’re asking so much.”

Liu Yunhe did not say whether it was okay or not, but Lin Chunnuan knew that this was what he had agreed to do. At least until now, Liu Yunhe’s work was still rather reliable.

“Yunhe, I don’t need to worry about that. There is a count of how much honey is in a jar and how many bottles are there in total. You can take the tea leaves and mint back and weigh them, calculate the money, and then write out the bill.”

“You trust me that much? The tea and mint are also worth a lot of money. ”

Liu Yunhe didn’t know why, but when he spoke to Lin Chunnuan, he immediately became casual. He completely didn’t have the caution and seriousness of someone else when doing business with them.

“No matter how much it is worth, it can’t compare to that gold ingot. Yunhe can trust me, if I don’t trust Yunhe, it would be too unreasonable.”

Lin Chunnuan said these words without the least bit of hypocrisy, and with absolute sincerity.

A gold ingot of ten taels was worth one hundred taels of silver. According to the current living standard, it was enough for an ordinary family of five to live for several years or even over ten years. A poor family could live for a month even if they had several dozen taels of gold.

Lin Chunnuan understood that this was what Liu Yunhe wanted to do, that he wanted to be her true friend, or perhaps, her true partner. She just did not understand why Liu Yunhe would make such an excuse to an eight year old girl like her.

“You can tell me that the trust is not limited to just this gold ingot. I never thought that you would trust me so much, but you did. I am only repaying you with something, and I only hope that we can trust each other for many years.”

Lin Chunnuan laughed.

Yunhe, we will trust each other for many years. If I want to find someone to work with, it must be you, unless you don’t want to work with me, don’t blame me for going to find someone else.

“We won’t have the chance. Wishing us a happy cooperation.”

At this time, men and women could not be intimate with each other. Lin Chunnuan had already extended half his hand out, but when she reacted and retracted his hand, Liu Yunhe only hugged Dou Wang tightly.

It was not because he wanted to work together, why did he have to hug Dou Wang? It was a good thing that he was not a petty person, it seemed that Liu Yunhe treated him and Dou Wang as one. He understood that the business here was done together with Wangzhige.
