Chapter 17: Moving Pears and Planting Dates

Listening to the sound of cicadas getting louder and louder day by day, it's hot this day.

Before the official summer, mother Bai finally found a gardener for Chen Xi. The gardener's surname is Zhao. He has some real skills in this craft for generations.

Chen Xi wants to take advantage of this time to finally straighten out the Chen family courtyard.

She discussed with Xu and planned to move the pear tree in the yard to the back firewood house and plant another jujube tree in the yard. Chen Xi told her mother that she likes to eat jujubes, but in fact, everyone knows the deep meaning.

Jujube trees are blessed with many children.

Chen Xi doesn't want to put pressure on her mother. As long as her grandmother is not around, her mother still has some breathing space.

The old lady of the Chen family is a man who looks after her important children, especially boys. There are many girls and few boys in the Chen family. She especially loves Chen Jingyu, the son of Chen Shouyi, the second uncle of Chen Xi, and has a flat attitude towards Chen Xi.

Chen Xi can also understand. After all, the Chen family has such a grandson. It's also very competitive. Naturally, it's precious. Anyway, they only go back to Chen's family for the new year. Chen Xi can tolerate a few days a year.

But she really couldn't have any admiration for her grandmother.

Chen Xi knows that her grandmother has always complained that her eldest aunt and mother didn't give birth to a baby boy and made them stumble openly and secretly.

The eldest aunt has a strong temper. After coaxing her grandmother twice, it's hard to say anything. Xu's temperament is gentle. If Chen Shouren hadn't lived outside with his parents all the year round, Xu's might have been worn out by the competition.

Chen Xi was innocent in his previous life and was not very sensitive to these dark tides. Live a new life, but Chen Xi finds out a lot of unhappiness of her mother from the past. Even if Chen Xi is still the only daughter of Xu in this life, Chen Xi will try her best to protect Xu and make her mother no longer worry.

Zhao gardener's work was fairly reliable. He took a primary school apprentice and two people worked enthusiastically in the front yard.

Mother Bai and Xiao He brought them tea. In fact, the amount of work is not large, but we should be very careful, otherwise we are afraid of hurting the root and the tree will die.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi saw a jujube sapling planted in the place where the pear tree had been planted.

What Zhao gardener brought was a new species he had bred, and a seedling that had grown for two or three years. It would bear fruit in two or three years.

Chen Xi asked Bai Mammy to seal a red envelope in addition to her salary, thanking Zhao gardener for taking so much trouble.

Zhao gardener was flattered when he received the red envelope. Before leaving, he stuffed a small sachet for Xiao He.

Chen Xi opened it. It turned out to be some flower seeds. Chen Xi didn't know all about it, but she didn't think it was a valuable variety. She asked Xiao He to plant some on both sides of her door to add some wild fun.

Chen Shouren's monthly salary is not high, barely enough for him to buy books and ink every month. Fortunately, in Xu's dowry, there are several shops and some fields bought by old lady Xu for her, so these rents are also enough for the daily expenses of the Chen family.

After Lin Ying came, although the expenses were more, Lin Shanchang put some money in Xu's place in advance, which was more than enough to deal with Lin Ying's expenses.
