Chapter 996 Chang’an County Master Better a Painful Ending than Endless Pain (1)
The Mo Family’s August was especially busy. Although Mo Yan didn’t need to personally do the work in the orchard, rice fields, dry fields, and on the construction site, nor did she have to watch over it at every moment, there were some matters that required her decision, and if several things happened to coincide, it would be enough to keep her occupied.
She had originally planned to visit the villa to the south of the city on the tenth, stay for a couple days to change her mood. But she’d been too busy to go, leaving Xin Er, who had been looking forward to it, quite disappointed. Mo Yan could only spread her hands helplessly and promise that she would definitely visit after she was less busy.
That day, Mo Yan held a pen and account book in the yard, tallying basket after basket of freshly picked fruit. Watching the bamboo baskets full of fruit piling up in the majority of the yard, her smile never faded from her face.
Bright red apples, shiny purple grapes, green and yellow oranges... The air was thick with the fragrance of fruit. Taking a deep breath, it was as if her mind also became clearer. Stand there for a while, and one would get a pleasant scent of fruit all over them.
"Yan girl, the fruits picked today must weigh over twenty thousand pounds. We were worried that the fruit trees wouldn’t grow well, so we only kept fifty fruits on each tree. Next year, as these fruits get bigger, I’m afraid the quantity will double or even quadruple," Aunt Tong said uncontrollably with joy, feeling that the months of effort she put into the trees were not in vain.
"Mhm, this year’s yield exceeded my expectations, all thanks to Aunt Tong’s good care. Otherwise, the fruit trees wouldn’t have grown so well, and the fruits wouldn’t be so big." Mo Yan sincerely thanked Aunt Tong, also feeling relieved that she hadn’t chosen the wrong person for the job.
The appearance of the fruit this year was obviously better than last year’s, not only bigger but also richer in flavor. Of course, Spirit Spring Water played a role in this, but if it hadn’t been for Aunt Tong’s meticulous care to protect the trees from pests and disease, the quality of the fruit would have been in vain.
