Chapter 48 - Cooling Down (1/2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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 same 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 home, 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 volume 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 medical 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 times. I’ll give him some herbs and ginseng that we planted ourselves some 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, some 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 time?”

“Yes, I just went to the field to take a look. Some 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 time, even if it was only for an hour, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, many times, 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.”
