Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 577 - 297 Benevolent Father and Filial Son_1

At the second watch of the night, request for pink to be brought.

**......***

It must have been heaven’s blessing, for the next day was a clear, sunny day, and Old Master Lian led his entire family to work in the fields early in the morning.

The Lian Manman family was still busy with the breakfast shop in the morning, having prepared less food than usual in the past two days in order to close up shop earlier and head to the fields. Now that the work in the fields was done, business at the breakfast shop returned to its regular state.

Once the land had dried up and lunch was eaten, Lian Manman also followed Shouxin into the vegetable garden to weed.

"There’s no need for you to help, I can manage on my own. Attend to whatever you need to do," Shouxin insisted on not letting his wife and children help and went to the garden himself.

"Dad is trying to butter up our mom," Lian Manman said to Lian Zhizhi, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi with a smile.

As for why Shouxin wanted to butter them up, the children understood perfectly well.

True enough, at lunchtime the next day, Shouxin spoke up again.

"I’ve weeded the garden clean. This year our vegetables are growing well. The backyard of the new house is also nearly sorted out.... The Upper Room’s land hasn’t been completely sown yet. I just went down to check, and there isn’t much left. If Old Master himself and the others do it on their own, it would still take another half day’s work tomorrow. The weather looks like it’s going to turn cloudy again, and who knows what the weather will be like tomorrow. If it rains again, it would further delay things," he said.

"If we take the plow over and really pitch in to help Old Master and the others for half a day, by nightfall we could finish sowing the remaining land," he added.

Shouxin’s suggestion was for the whole family to help Old Master Lian plant for half a day.

"If that’s the case, then it should be fine," Lady Zhang agreed.

In the past two days, Shouxin had been particularly "attentive", not only currying favor with the children but also with Lady Zhang. Plus, Shouxin’s just-mentioned proposal was also feasible. To work hard for half a day for everyone’s happiness was something Lady Zhang was willing to do.

Seeing that Lady Zhang had agreed, Shouxin’s gaze then fell upon the children’s faces.

"Then let’s go," Lian Manman said.

Shouxin was pleased.

"Husband, have you mentioned this to Old Master yet?" Lady Zhang asked Shouxin.

"Not yet, I needed to discuss it with you all first," Shouxin said, quickly scarfing down a bowl of rice and hurriedly putting on his shoes to go outside. "I’ll go talk to Old Master now."

"Look how hurried your dad is, not even eating properly," Lady Zhang sighed as she watched Shouxin’s retreating figure. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Lian Manman ate her rice slowly, thinking to herself that Shouxin’s attitude towards Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou could really be described with the words "loyal service to the country."

As the mother and children were tidying up after dinner, Shouxin hurried back.

"... I’ve spoken to Old Master, and he was really pleased. Old Master and the others are heading to the fields right after dinner. Let’s hurry up and get ready, and go straight to the fields from here," Shouxin said with an elated expression, clearly having had a pleasant conversation with Old Master Lian.

"We’ll be ready in a moment," Lian Manman said as she went to the kitchen to bring Shouxin a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables. "Dad, you only had one bowl of rice earlier. Mom was worried you hadn’t eaten enough, so she saved this for you... Dad, please eat, it won’t make much difference to the work we get done in the fields. We don’t know when dinner will be tonight, and if you get hungry later, you won’t be able to work properly."

"Alright, I’ll eat," Shouxin agreed, lifting the bowl and alternating between bites of rice and vegetables, quickly finishing everything.

"I’m going to harness the cart; you all come quickly too," Shouxin said, setting down the bowl and heading outside.

Since they were going to help, they needed to look the part. The mother and children quickly finished their tasks, locked up the shop, and set out, with Wu Lang driving the cart, Lian Manman and Xiao Qi sitting inside, and Shouxin, Lady Zhang, and Lian Zhizhi walking beside the cart.

They arrived at the fields before Old Master Lian.

"Grandpa," the children greeted Old Master Lian one after another.

"Ah," Old Master Lian answered with a smile and turned his head to glance at Shouxin, who was unloading the cart and harnessed Little Yellow Ox to the plow.

Old Master Lian looked up at the sky and let out a sigh. The fact that Shouxin had brought his whole family to help with the planting filled him with deep joy. Isn’t this what a family ought to be like? Seeing the envious looks from the neighbors in the adjacent fields, Old Master Lian felt particularly gratified.

"We don’t know what the weather will be like tomorrow, so let’s all put in some effort and try to finish planting before it gets dark. I’ve told your grandma, we’ll have flatbread and stewed meat for dinner tonight. It’ll be filling!" Old Master Lian declared loudly, waving his hand grandly.
