After the charity dinner, Grandma Tao donated all the money from the auction that night to the orphanage and nursing home. She also took out a sum of money to invest in medical charity organizations to help more people who had no money to see a doctor.
After that, the Tao family came up with a new rule. If a servant in the family had any difficulties, they could send an application to Aunt Zhou. If the situation was true, the Tao family would offer help. However, they also required the servants not to steal or commit other crimes.
Ah Juâs daughter was scheduled for surgery the next day. On the day of the new year, the little girl could be discharged from the hospital. Mother Tao specially brought the little girl and her grandmother home so that their three generations could spend the new year with the Tao family.
This year, the Tao family was lively. Not only were there people from the Tao family, but there were also people from the Zhuang family who came to celebrate the new year.
The elders of the Zhuang family and the Tao family were in charge of the New Yearâs Eve dinner, so Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou had more time to spend together.
The two of them walked hand in hand in the greenhouse garden. There were a few more kinds of roses in the greenhouse this year. Each flower was as big as plates, and the color was very beautiful.
âThese roses were newly cultivated by my dad this year. Arenât
they beautiful?â Tan Rou caressed the pink and white roses. âIn order to cultivate these new species, he couldnât sleep well for half a month. He came every hour to see how the flowers were growing, and it was no exception at night.â
Zhuang Liu smelled the flowers. The roses were not very fragrant, but the scent of these roses was very strong, like candy.
âOur dad is really patient.â Zhuang Liu was quite envious of this kind of life.
â When weâre old, we should also build our own greenhouse.â
Tan Rou said, âInstead of spending time on a greenhouse, itâs better to make a herb garden. The temperature in winter is too low. Many medicinal herbs canât grow here. If we can have a medicinal garden, we can have fresh medicinal herbs at any time.â
Tan Rou did have a herb garden, but it was not in the Capital. Land in the Capital was too expensive, and the cost of making a herb garden was too high.
Zhuang Liu secretly remembered the matter of the herb garden. When they built the new house, they would open up a separate piece of land to make the herb garden. They would also build it into a greenhouse. It would be best to open up a few more compartments inside so that it would be convenient for Tan Rou to adjust the temperature.
The two of them walked around the garden, stopping from time to time to admire the flowers. However, there were not only flowers in the greenhouse, but also some bushes and fruits, such as blueberries.
âItâs quite rare to see fresh blueberries in this season.â Zhuang Liu reached out and touched the blueberries. The fruit powder on the fruit immediately stained his hand. âAre these blueberries sour?â
âTheyâre not.â Tan Rou picked a handful of blueberries. âTry it. Itâs sweet.â They were all home-grown fruits, so they were not afraid of pests and diseases, so the blueberries were not treated with pesticide.
Zhuang Liu bit Tan Ronâs hand and slowly used his tongue to roll the blueberry away. After tasting it, he commented, âMmm, itâs indeed a very sweet fruit.â
Tan Rou rebuked. âJust eat the fruit if you want, why do you have to bite me?â
Zhuang Liu picked a blueberry and put half of it into his mouth, wanting to feed it to Tan Rou.
Although Tan Rou thought that it was disgusting, she still ate the blueberry. âJust this once. Donât do this again.â
The blueberries were very small. When Tan Ronâs lips came close, Zhuang Liu swallowed the blueberries directly. Then, his lips touched Tan Ronâs lips. After a while, there was an ambiguous sound in the greenhouse.
Of course, they only kissed and hugged. They didnât do anything out of line in the greenhouse because there were surveillance cameras everywhere. They couldnât be too presumptuous.
âXiao Rouâ¦â Tian Tian came over to look for Tan Rou. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the two of them kissing in the flowers. âI didnât do it on purpose. I didnât see anything!â
She ran outside with a red face.
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were very calm. They couldnât help but laugh as they watched Tian Tianâs retreating figure.
âItâs probably time to eat. Letâs go backfirst,â Tan Rou said.
Zhuang Liu let Tan Rou leave first. He still had things to do.
âYou canât pluck my dadâs new flowers. If you do, he wonât be nice to you.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry, I wonât touch a flower,â Zhuang Liu said with a smile. He just wanted to secretly take a photo of these flowers as a reference.
