Chapter 686: Chapter 687 This is Under His Managent_1 Chapter 686: Chapter 687 This is Under His Managent_1 “Husband,” suddenly, An Jing noticed a concern, “This grafting also requires ti, and to avoid running back and forth, we better buy a house in the county. Our family can temporarily live there.”
“Hmm,” Xiao Changyi had no objections.
Compared to staying at the rice shop or the Agricultural Institute, buying a house was indeed a better option.
A house of their own would make it convenient to cook and do everything else.
“Then tomorrow, let ng Zhuqing go to the county to buy it. If it’s possible to buy it tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow, when we go to the county, we could stay there.”
“Hmm.”
…
The next day, An Jing indeed sent ng Zhuqing to the county to buy a house, and before ng Zhuqing could return to report whether he had managed to buy the house, Li Wuyu ca and said she would be returning ho the next day.
Li Wuyu had previously ntioned she would only remain for a few days, so An Jing was not surprised at all when she heard that Li Wuyu would be going back ho the next day.
And An Jing did not try to detain Li Wuyu, but only warned her to take care on her way ho.
At the quarter-hour of the Shēn period, ng Zhuqing finally ca back from the county, reporting that the house was bought and furnished; it was ready for people to move in at any ti.
Only then did An Jing and Xiao Changyi start to pack their things, planning to move to the county the following day.
The house was a two-section courtyard; when An Jing and Xiao Changyi moved in, it just so happened to be a quarter past noon the next day.
The house was not far from the Agricultural Institute, just three streets away.
Xiao Changyi told An Jing to look after the children, while he went to the kitchen to quickly prepare a pot of vegetable and egg noodles.
These noodles were their lunch.
After eating, they spent a while in the house accompanying the children before An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to the Agricultural Institute.
As for ng Zhuqing, she stayed back at the house to look after the four children.
The mont Clerk Jiang saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi arrive, he respectfully said to An Jing, “Official, I have already made inquiries, and indeed crops are planted in the sa plot year after year.”
An Jing had anticipated this result and said nothing, but simply nodded and instructed, “Take to the experintal fields to have a look.”
“Yes!” Clerk Jiang imdiately led the way, guiding An Jing and Xiao Changyi to the experintal fields.
The fields were located at the back of the Agricultural Institute, covering a vast area estimated to be over a thousand acres.
A wide array of crops was cultivated in the experintal fields, all of them studied by the officials of the Agricultural Institute.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the section where vegetables were grown that An Jing stopped.
Then, she gazed intently at the newly sprouted cucumber seedlings, a frown of contemplation creasing her brows.
After a long while, An Jing asked, “Do you have pumpkin seedlings?” She rembered that pumpkins were commonly used as rootstock for grafting.
“Yes, right over there,” Clerk Jiang pointed to a nearby patch where pumpkins were planted.
Upon seeing this, An Jing imdiately strode over to inspect them. Seeing that the pumpkin seedlings had also recently sprouted, she was overjoyed, “I should be able to use the seedlings here freely, right?”
Clerk Jiang replied, “This fruit and vegetable area is managed by Official Li and was also planted by him. If you want to make use of the seedlings here, you should speak to Official Li first.”
An Jing nodded.
Then, gripping her husband’s arm, she walked back, happily saying to him, “Husband, let’s go find Official Li. As long as he agrees, we can start grafting.”
Clerk Jiang followed behind, and though he did not understand what grafting ant, he engraved the term in his mind, planning to secretly report it to his master, Official Liu, whenever he had the opportunity.
