Although he had never farmed before, he still had basic common sense.

Weeds had to be cleared when farming. Otherwise, they would fight with the crops for nutrients.

Lin Yi knew that if the weeds were cleared in time, the fruits in the greenhouse would grow even better.

Lin Yi looked around. He had to buy some herbicide when he had time.

However, the weeds in front of him had to be dealt with quickly.

Ring ring ring!

Just as Lin Yi was about to get to work, his phone rang in his pocket. It was a WeChat video call from Ji Qingyan.

What are you doing? Have you eaten yet?

Lin Yi turned the camera to show Ji Qingyan the situation in the greenhouse.

There are a lot of weeds. Im going to pluck them. Otherwise, it will disrupt the growth of the fruits.

Im coming over to help you.

No need, no need. Go back to your work. Ill take care of this kind of physical work. Lin Yi rejected Ji Qingyans good intentions. If she came, he might as well stop working on the spot.

A young lady like her would cry out in less than five minutes that her back was aching. He might as well do it herself.

Ji Qingyan turned the camera around and aimed it at her lunch.

Im going to have lunch. Theres nothing else for me to do. You should go eat first. You can always go back to work later.

Lin Yi looked at his watch and realized that it was almost one oclock.

Alright, Ill go eat first and talk later.

Eat more. Dont go hungry.

Sure thing.

After chatting briefly with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi walked out of the greenhouse and prepared to have lunch.

As he walked out of the shed, Lin Yi saw Yao Bin and his wife eating on the ground not far away. He walked straight over.

Seeing Lin Yi walk over, Yao Bin patted the dust off his b.u.t.t and stood up.

When did you come back? I havent seen you for a few days.

I went away to do something. I just came back today.

Have you eaten? Come and eat with us. Its not anything good, but you can join us as long as you dont mind.

The couple had brought their own lunch. The meal did not consist of anything particularly good.

Big flatbread, eggplant in sauce, and a bag of pickles.

Ill go to your house for a free meal tonight. Ill skip lunch since you two wont have enough to eat.

Its fine. Your sister-in-law brought a lot of food. Neither of us can eat that much. If you dont mind the bad food, you can have a bite with us. Otherwise, you will have to go to town to eat.

Are you sure you will have enough?

Lin Yi didnt want to torture himself either. It would be good if he could get a bite.

The three of us together might not even be able to finish it. Come on. Yao Bin warmly invited Lin Yi to sit down and chatted as they ate.

Third Brother, you know the types of plants we are growing at home. The weeds are almost waist-high. I want to buy some herbicide. What brand should

I buy?

Lin Yi only had a vague understanding of farming.

He was clueless about how to select herbicides.

I wanted to talk to you about this, Yao Bin said.

Ive cleared the weeds in your vegetable garden for you. Im thinking of finis.h.i.+ng the work on my floor before going over to help you. Yao Bin said.

Dont worry about the herbicide. Our family has to buy some too. Ill get some for you.

No, Im embarra.s.sed to ask you for help all the time, Lin Yi said.

Tell me what kind to buy. Ill go myself and bring it back for your family.

Then I wont stand on ceremony with you, Yao Bin said.

Are you going to town or Zhonghai?

Is there a difference? Herbicide isnt high-end stuff. It is sold everywhere, Lin Yi said.

And according to the current market, it might be more expensive if I get it in Zhonghai.

Youre not familiar with these things, are ou? Yao Bin smiled and said.

Agricultural products are different from other things. Theyre sold to farmers like us, so theyre not as expensive as you think. Moreover, Zhonghai has a large wholesale base for agricultural products. If you buy more, the price will be cheaper than if you got it in the county.

If thats the case, its better to buy it in Zhonghai.

That depends on how much you buy. Although the price will be cheaper, the transportation fee is expensive. After balancing it out, the price will be about the same as in the county.

Yao Bin smiled honestly. If you go to Zhonghai to buy some, help us get some as well. Consider it Third Brother taking advantage of you.

Lin Yi laughed. Its a small matter. Im going tomorrow. Give me a list of things you want to buy, and Ill bring them backfor you.

Then I wont stand on ceremony with you.

After eating at Yao Bins place, Lin Yi returned to the greenhouse to work.

After a busy afternoon, Lin Yi finally got rid of all the weeds.

This was all thanks to his super strong stamina. If it were anyone else, they would have taken at least two days.

Brother Lin, youre back.

Just as Lin Yi finished his work and was about to do his final checkup, he realized that Du Yao was standing at the entrance of the greenhouse.

Lin Yi looked at his watch and saw that it was only 4:30 pm.

Cla.s.s is over so early?

I dont have cla.s.s today and Sat.u.r.day, but Guo Fei kept calling me, saying that he was going to come and look for me. I found it annoying, so I said I was going to look for my parents. I didnt expect to run into you, so I decided to pop

He hasnt given up after chasing you for so long. His perseverance is worthy of praise, Lin Yi said with a smile.

Du Yao blushed. Brother Lin, dont laugh at me. Ive already rejected him many times, but its useless.

Didnt he say that he would have everything he wanted in the end? Perhaps he is still harboring such thoughts.

I dont even want to talk to him. Du Yao pursed her lips and said.

I dont even want to take the Zhonghai Normal University exam anymore.

Why is that? Do you think the school is bad?

Thats not it. Its mainly because Guo Fei also said that he wants to become a postgraduate student at Zhonghai Normal University. If we really get into the same school, I will have to face him for the next two years. I lose all motivation when I think of that.

The sorrow of a bootlicker.

Sigh, lets not talk about him. Du Yao said.

Brother Lin, how are you handling this greenhouse? Its growing too well. Look at that watermelon. Its already the size of a volleyball. Itll probably be ready in a month or two.

Im just doing random stuff. I dont know why it happened.

But there are a lot of weeds in your greenhouse. You should buy more herbicide. Otherwise, all the nutrients will be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

Lin Yi nodded. 1 dont have anything to do tomorrow, so Im going to Zhonghai to buy some herbicide. If I dont deal with it quickly, this greenhouse will be destroyed sooner or later.

Brother Lin, youre going to Zhonghai tomorrow?! Du Yao said in surprise.

Youre going too?

I want to buy some revision materials for the postgraduate entrance examination, but the library in the county is incomplete, so I want to go to Zhonghai to take a look.

We can go together.

Hehe, then Ill freeload in your car.

What are you talking about? Its on the way for me anyway.

After speaking, Lin Yi started working, preparing to throw the weeds outside. With that, the days work would be considered done.

However, just as he was wrapping up, he saw Guo Fei jogging over from afar.

Yaoyao, didnt you say you were going to help your parents? Why are you still here?
