Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 122: Installing the Greenhouse

Both installation masters have been doing manual labor for a long time, so they are fully capable of climbing a mountain.

Not to mention Lin Qingyan, her physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The few of them arrived at Grandpa Lin's house, and it took them more than half an hour faster than the last time Grandpa Lin arrived.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were already waiting in the yard. Seeing them coming, Grandpa Lin quickly handed them some water.

"The water temperature is just right. I boiled it and left it outside for a while before putting it into the thermos. It's just right for drinking!"

Of course, Grandma Lin gave the water to Lin Qingyan first, and said to Lin Qingyan: "I heard from your grandfather that you brought a lot of materials to build a plastic greenhouse for us.

You kid! Why did you bring back so many materials without telling us in advance? Your grandfather and I have our own money, so we would have gotten them if we needed them. Why would you spend so much money?"

Lin Qingyan stepped forward and took her arm. "Grandma, I made a lot of money a few days ago and I'm going to invest in something. I want to invest in a greenhouse for you and grandpa."

"What's the point of investing in us old couple who are about to die? If we have to invest, it should be in an investment that can make money." Grandma Lin said to her cautiously.

Lin Qingyan pulled Grandma Lin and continued with a smile:

"It's not a loss to invest in you. I'm your granddaughter. Investing in you is investing in myself!

This way, you and grandpa can grow some vegetables and fruits in the winter, and you don’t have to go down the mountain to buy vegetables.”

Grandma Lin was very touched. She knew that Lin Qingyan said this on purpose to reassure her. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You kid, you have paid too much for recognizing us old couple as your grandparents."

"Grandma, this is an investment. Maybe I will make money from this greenhouse in the future!"

Grandma Lin was delighted to hear that she could still make money. Just as she was about to pull her aside to talk in detail, she was interrupted by Grandpa Lin.

"Old lady, it's getting late. You should cook first! Qingyan and I will take the two chefs to the back to see where is the best place to install the greenhouse."

"Okay, I'll go cook first!" Grandma Lin let go of Lin Qingyan's hand and went to the kitchen.

"Come with me, both of you!" Grandpa Lin called to the installation master who had finished drinking water and took the initiative to work.

Lin Qingyan followed them and looked at several places where plastic greenhouses could be installed. Finally, the two masters suggested:

"In another area farther away, where there are more trees, it is suggested to install a tall greenhouse. The new type of arched shed can be installed around the house. Do you think it is okay?"

Mr. Lin looked at Lin Qingyan, waiting for her decision.

"Grandpa, it's up to you to decide. It's mainly for you to use. You can decide where to install it most conveniently."

"Then let's install it like this according to what the master said!" In the end, Grandpa Lin listened to the installation master's advice.

"Okay, we'll install the large greenhouse first, and then the arch shed. The arch shed is very convenient to install. If it can't be installed today, you can install it yourself."

The installer paused and looked at Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan understood what he meant. She asked them to make a trip and pay them 200 yuan a day.

"Sure, we'll install the big shed first, and the specific arch shed will depend on how it's installed this afternoon."

After confirming the position, the master worked faster. There were two people, one holding the materials and the other assembling with tools.

By the time Grandma Lin finished cooking lunch, the frame of the plastic greenhouse had been completed, leaving only the plastic sheet on top.

The greenhouse is a little far from where Grandpa Lin lives, about three or four hundred meters away. It is surrounded by trees, with only an empty space in the middle.

It is just right to plant in a greenhouse. Even if the wind is strong on the mountain, the noise of the plastic being blown by the wind will not affect people in houses far away.

This piece of land was originally used by Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin to grow crops. The water that Grandpa Lin brought from the mountain using bamboo also passed through here, so they were not worried about running out of water.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll come back to install it." Grandpa Lin took care of the two installation masters.

The two of them did not hesitate to follow him home. The meal was home-cooked, with three dishes and one soup, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and an egg soup. The vegetarian dish was sent by Lin Qingyan a few days ago.

The two chefs ate the first bite and praised it highly:

"These vegetables grown at home are pure natural and pollution-free. They are delicious!"

"Yes, you can't tell the difference when you look at it, but it tastes obviously different when you eat it."

When Grandma Lin heard the people praising the food, she was so happy that she kept saying to them:

"If they are delicious, eat more. These are vegetables grown by my granddaughter herself. They taste better than those grown by us. You are in for a treat this time."

"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't expect that we both did the right job today. It was such a delicious meal."

As they talked, the two masters ate as fast as they worked. Lin Qingyan only ate half a bowl of rice, but they had already finished two bowls of rice.

"Take your time to eat. We'll finish eating and go set up the shed. We'll try to finish it before dark."

"Oh! Don't be in a hurry, take a rest before going." Grandma Lin stood up and took care of them while they rested.

The two men were very persistent. One of them said, "If we finish packing sooner, we can go down the mountain earlier. Even though we are grown men, we are still a little scared to go down the mountain at night."

Grandma Lin didn't stop them then. Grandpa Lin quickly finished the meal in his bowl and followed them.

"Qingyan, don't be anxious. Eat more. Don't go over there later. Let them take care of the work. You just stay at home with me."

After Grandma Lin and the others left, she picked up some food for Lin Qingyan and said to her.

"Yes, grandma, I'm eating." Lin Qingyan gestured to Grandma Lin while eating the braised pork in her mouth.

"Grandma, you should eat more too. You didn't eat much just now."

"I'm old, I can't eat too much. It's hard to digest." Grandma Lin touched her stomach.

Then he continued to pick up food for Lin Qingyan: "But seeing you young people eating is so delicious, I can eat more when I eat with you. I drank half a bowl of soup today."

"My grandma's cooking is very much to my taste. I am usually alone and sometimes when I am busy I just cook some noodles, which is convenient and saves time."

Lin Qingyan was eating the food in her mouth. To be honest, Grandma Lin’s cooking skills were very good. They were typical home-cooked dishes, a bit like her mother’s cooking.

"The noodles you eat must be dried noodles, which are not tasty. Come over next time when you have time.

Grandma will make you hand-rolled noodles, which will taste delicious when paired with the boiled bone soup." Grandma Lin looked at the girl who was eating with love.

After Lin Qingyan finished her meal, she helped clean up the kitchen and secretly added some space water into the water tank while Grandma Lin was not paying attention.

Only then did he follow Grandma Lin to see the installation of the greenhouse.
