Yesterday, Qin Han heard that Lin Chuxia wanted to set up a vegetable greenhouse with the villagers, and he was intrigued.
Having been influenced by those around him since childhood, Qin Han had always loved gardening.
During dinner yesterday, the idea of a vegetable greenhouse was brought up, and he was very interested in this new venture and wanted to give it a try.
However, Qin Han also knew that he was indispensable at the Bun Shop.
How could he just abandon the Bun Shop, which his younger sister had entrusted him with, to return to farming?
Last night, Zhang Guilan both persuaded and scolded him, calling him a fool.
Many people who wanted to quit farming for office jobs couldn’t find the opportunity.
Now he had a good position as a manager, not only earning a salary but also sharing in the profits of the shop.
Such opportunities were rare, yet he was still not satisfied and wanted to go back to farming.
Qin Han knew this, so he was even more conflicted.
On one hand, he felt that he should manage the shop well for his younger sister; on the other hand, he was drawn to what he loved doing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia smiled and said, "Alright, call your brother out then. I’ll have a word with him."
Zhang Guilan responded, handed her the prepared dough, and quickly went inside to call Qin Han.
Lin Chuxia let the two children work with Qin Yang on their calligraphy and went to the main hall to wait.
Qin Han arrived still looking puzzled, "Did my younger sister need me for something?"
"Big brother, your sister-in-law just shared your thoughts with me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Han glanced at Zhang Guilan, then hurriedly said to Lin Chuxia, "Younger sister, don’t listen to her nonsense. I was just mumbling. Being a manager is such a great thing; I wouldn’t let it go."
"Really? I was actually planning to let sister-in-law take over the Bun Shop, and you could come help me with the village matters. It seems I thought too much. I’ll find someone else from the village then."
"Ah?" Qin Han was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face, "Younger sister, you mean you want me to come back to the village to manage the vegetable greenhouse?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head, "Managing the vegetable greenhouse might not fulfill your wish, brother. Actually, I plan to open an agricultural supply store in the village, and I want you to manage it."
A vegetable greenhouse would certainly be considered a novelty, requiring both technical support and a variety of facilities, as well as good strains of off-season vegetables.
Rather than letting the villagers blindly struggle to find what they need, it made more sense to solve the problems from the source.
Initially disheartened by Lin Chuxia’s rejection, Qin Han perked up upon hearing the rest, "Alright, anything related to gardening works for me."
He was almost stifled working daily at the Bun Shop.
He was naturally not suited for detailed work.
But an agricultural supply station was different; whether it was seeds, pesticides, or fertilizers, he knew them well.
He was also interested in growing off-season vegetables. Even if he wasn’t allowed to farm himself, just being involved with the villagers in the daily affairs would keep him motivated.
Zhang Guilan watched as her husband quickly came out, his mood having transformed completely, in stark contrast to just a moment before.
Lin Chuxia was straightforward in handling affairs, so while talking to Zhang Guilan, she shared her plans.
"I’m just not sure if sister-in-law’s health will be up to it. If not..."
"What wouldn’t be up to it?" Zhang Guilan interrupted Lin Chuxia before she could finish.
