Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Design Tools (1)_1 Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Design Tools (1)_1 In less than three days, the warehouse of the Lin family was filled with soybeans, peanuts, and sesame seeds.
When people from the neighboring villages heard the news, some specifically came to sell their beans, which the Lin family accepted. After selling the beans, the village managed to get through this tax season rather smoothly.
Quite a few villagers appreciated the Lin family for their timely help. Of course, along with those who were grateful, there were also those who were envious and jealous.
Lin Ziyin didn’t have the time to think about what the villagers thought of her, she has been occupied these days. She didn’t have to worry about the tofu and soybean oil, but it was a crucial period for the corn, chili peppers, and tomatoes at the back of the house. Under her careful care, the corn grew well and the tomatoes turned red. To protect the tomatoes from birds, she simply had two children stand guard. The chili peppers had bloomed, and Lin Ziyin, fearing pest damage, came to pick the bugs on time every day.
As the patriarch of the family was not involved in the family business, he noticed Lin Ziyin had a lot of concern for the crops at the back and decided to take care of the farm work.
“Sister, Master Si is here to see you,” Lin Zige interjected while Lin Ziyin was busy in the field.
Lin Ziyin straightened her back, she was displeased. In her view, Si Jinhan was a lunatic with a good self-image and an arrogant behavior. His visit held nothing promising.
“Go and see him anyway, don’t be rude and offend him,” her grandfather advised, sitting in the chili field, plucking weeds, he noticed her disgruntled expression and reminded her.
“I know my boundaries, grandfather. You don’t worry,” Lin Ziyin assured him, and then left her tiny hoe aside, took off her gloves, and walked alongside Zige.
“Sister, the fruit has ripened, I just chased away a bird.” Changting ran over to share his triumph.
“Bird, fly,” Yanzhi exclaimed excitedly.
“Well done,” Lin Ziyin pinched the two children’s cheeks.
“Quick, don’t keep him waiting,” Lin Zige urged her.
Lin Ziyin nodded and quickened her steps to move forward.
When she got back to the living room, she found not only Si Jinhan but also Chu Suifeng had come. The two uninvited gentlemen were greatly enjoying themselves, looking around their house while a box was placed on the table.
“I greet the Prince and Master Si,” Lin Ziyin hurriedly bowed.
“Don’t bother,” Chu Suifeng brought his gaze back from elsewhere and landed on her.
“Little girl, you look energetic after so many days,” Si Jinhan smirked.
“As a country girl, doing a little more work, one becomes tough and seems spirited,” Lin Ziyin answered firmly but respectfully.
“Remember we talked about making screws last time, we need you to have a look,” Si Jinhan spoke directly, probably as he thought Lin Ziyin was too cold and not interesting, he didn’t want to bother with small talk with her.
Upon hearing this, the guard by the side immediately stepped forward to open the box; Lin Ziyin turned her eyes toward the box where a variety of sizes of screws were revealed.
As a student of mechanics, Lin Ziyin naturally takes great interest in machinery. Since coming to the ancient times, she had devoted herself to improving her living conditions for the past half year. So when she suddenly saw the different sizes and types of screws inside the box, her eyes lit up with joy.
Chu Suifeng noted her reaction, his face showed no change in expression, he simply asked, “What’s needed to tighten these screws?”
