Outside the pink and beige bedroom, Lin Cheng opened the door and took a look at the old and young one inside.

He saw that Lin Momo did not reject Old Master Lin. At this time, the two of them were already sharing interesting things that had happened during the recording of the show with an air of familiarity.

Lin Cheng smiled and went off to answer his phone call with confidence.

The call came from the head of several of Lin family’s subsidiaries, and the purpose of the call were all to tell Lin Cheng that his half-brother—Lin Xiao—was back and was preparing to start layoffs in a big way.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng sneered, “I understand, don’t pay attention to his decision. Next week’s meeting will be moved up to this Saturday, and I will announce the company’s new personnel appointments at the meeting.”

… …

Back in Lin Momo’s bedroom.

The conversation between Lin Momo and Old Master Lin has now moved 0n to the possible tasks for next week’s recording.

“Next week, Dad and I are going to farm and raise poultry and other small animals,” Lin Momo told Old Master Lin.

Hearing this, Zhou Ming, who was standing just outside the bedroom door, opened his mouth and wanted to correct Lin Momo’s statement: Their task next week was to be the Manager and Operator of the leisure farm. It was similar to running a theme park. It was a very large leisure and farming enterprise, and they were not really involved in the physical labor of it such as farming and feeding pigs.

However, Old Master Lin’s response stopped Zhou Ming’s words.

“So that’s how it is.” Old Master Lin nodded along with Lin Momo’s words and asked, “Then are you confident you can complete the task?”

“This, I don’t know,” Lin Momo shook her head.

The information on the [Family Background] card stated that their annual income was ±6 million, but for Lin Momo, the concept of 600,000, 6 million, or even 600 million made no difference at all.

“I’ve never grown vegetables before, so I don’t know if I can grow them well,” Lin Momo whispered, a gloomy look on her face.

According to her research on the internet, farming was not a simple matter. Different types of vegetables have different sowing times, and they all required different temperatures, soil, irrigation levels, and fertilization methods.

Lin Momo really wasn’t sure whether she could do it well.

Seeing the sad look on his great-granddaughter’s face, Old Master Lin also felt a little distressed, so he waved his hand and said, “Isn’t it just farming? Momo doesn’t know how. But Great-grandpa can teach you. Once you learn how to do it, you can definitely do it on the show. Can you still be afraid of anything?”

“Really?” Lin Momo’s eyes lit up and she asked again, “Great-grandpa, you know how to farm?”

“Of course, there is nothing difficult about farming, Great-grandpa can do everything,” Old Master Lin said with great confidence. After that, he took Lin Momo directly to the garden behind the villa. He also directed the villa’s gardeners to bring out their professional tools.

Butler Zhou and Zhou Ming, who were following behind, looked at each other silently after hearing the old man’s heroic words, their faces bearing the exact same shame-facedness.

Several generations of the Lin family have all been in business. At most, Old Master Lin only has some theoretical knowledge about farming. How could he know how to actually farm?

In the garden, the gardeners brought the tools. Old Master Lin spotted a camellia plant and immediately prepared to start working on it.

“This is a plant, it’s different from a vegetable,” Lin Momo couldn’t help but say.

Old Master Lin, however, was not to be deterred and waved his hand casually. “Every vegetable is grown, and it remains true to its roots. The principles are the same. Only by practicing can we come up with the truth.”

This seemed to make sense?

Lin Momo nodded as if she understood something and continued to listen to Old Master Lin’s teachings attentively.

Old Master Lin has already dug out the hapless plant from its spot. He also dug up the soil next to it and created a hole.

“Look, this plant is now outside the ground. Let’s loosen the surrounding soil a bit, dig a hole of about the same size in the soil, put the plant inside, and refill it with the surrounding soil. Sprinkle some granular fertilizer around, pour water, and finally pat the soil firmly, and that’s it.”

“After that, then you have sowing,” as he said this, the old man broke off a few flower heads and said to Lin MoMo, “Let’s assume that these lumps are seeds, the principle is still the same, loosen up the soil, dig holes…”

Old Master Lin explained while giving Lin Momo a demonstration.

Lin Momo stood aside and listened seriously.

These two people—one old and one young—perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be ‘one who dared to teach and one who dared to learn’.

Looking at the camellia that had been forcibly pulled out and re-planted by the old man, which was now standing a bit crooked and ragged in places, a drop of cold sweat fell from Zhou Ming’s forehead.

“Grandfather, this is such a waste of resources!” Zhou Ming couldn’t help but whisper.

That camellia plant, that variety, that appearance—it was really expensive ah!

Zhou Ming wanted to go up and stop Old Master Lin but was held back by Butler Zhou.

Butler Zhou shook his head at Zhou Ming and the other gardeners who wanted to persuade Old Master Lin to stop. “Let the old master have his fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him so happy and energetic—”

Before he could finish his words, from not far away, Butler Zhou saw that Old Master Lin had stretched out his magical gardening hands to some bonsai and was intending to use these bonsai to explain to Lin Momo the principles of maintenance and pruning of fruit trees.

There was a ‘snip’, and another valuable bonsai was ‘disfigured’ under the old man’s devilish grasp.

Butler Zhou: “…”

Gardeners: Our heart bleeds.

… …

The good thing was, after a certain period of time, plants do indeed need to be pruned, the soil turned over, and part of the branches and leaves removed.

It was just that the old man made some unexpected moves and brought forward the work that they only planned to start in two months.

But at least the old man has already helped them complete half of the work.

The gardeners could only comfort themselves like this.
