In the middle of winter, actually being able to grow small greens really shocked the whole Prime Minister’s Mansion, whether it was the adults or the children, they all came to watch the excitement.
The leafy little greens had just sprouted, and as soon as they did, they almost seemed to fly towards everyone with their vibrant green.
"Grandmother, you’re amazing! How did you do it?" Song Lingzhou was full of curiosity.
Song Ci pretended to be serious and said, "Naturally, because Grandmother has perseverance."
She had the perseverance of a foodie; when she wanted to eat, she made it happen. Thɪs chapter is updated by novｅlfire.net
"Can you grow vegetables just by having perseverance?"
"No, having perseverance doesn’t necessarily mean you can grow vegetables, you also need to be smart," Song Ci took the opportunity to teach her grandchildren, "Your brains should think, move, and adapt, be willing to experiment, and have the perseverance to continue exploring even after failure, only then can you succeed."
An important point is, you need Silver, otherwise, in this harsh winter, without Silver you would just be dreaming, but this mustn’t be said.
"Grandmother, you said it too complicated, I don’t understand." Song Lingzhao pouted.
Song Lingjie disdainfully said, "Fool, it means you need to be patient, to accept failure, and to bravely challenge it again. It’s like when you set up a formation, you have to practice countless times, constantly polishing, and when you’ve perfected it, the formation is successful. That’s the logic."
He knew his twin brother wanted to become a General like the Commandery Princess’s aunt, and recently he even bought some little dolls to practice formations with.
Song Lingzhao seemed pensive.
"Third brother is right, second brother, you have a bit of a hasty temper, it needs some tempering. The more rushed you are at doing something, the more likely it is to go wrong, and the more likely you are to make errors in judgment!" Song Lingsu also smiled and said.
Song Lingzhou chimed in, "What you brothers said is very philosophical. But in my opinion, being able to grow vegetables relied on Grandmother’s initial words."
Everyone looked over, even Song Ci was curious; what did she say?
Song Lingzhou imitated Song Ci’s serious tone, "To make life go well, you must add a bit of green to it!"
I have no words to respond.
Song Ci laughed heartily, rubbing her little grandson wearing a tiger-head hat, and praised, "Little Zhouzhou understands Grandmother’s meaning best."
Song Lingzhou puffed his chest out with a hint of pride.
Song Ci cleared her throat and said, "In fact, whatever you do, daring to think and daring to act puts you ahead of many people. Take growing vegetables in a greenhouse as an example; it was Grandmother’s first time learning too, and you see, it succeeded. Grandmother dared to think of this and was willing to try it, wasn’t it worked out? So we must be bold in trying, if you haven’t tried, how do you know if it can be done!"
"Grandmother, aren’t you afraid of failure?"
"If you fail, just like Jie’er said, start over and find where you went wrong and correct it, experience is accumulated over time. Why do you think those craftsmen or those experienced farmers become veterans? Craftsmanship comes from hammering and refining a thousand times, and farming becomes a craft through years of experience!"
"Therefore, don’t be afraid of failure, as long as you are willing to study and summarize experiences, you’ll know where improvements are needed. Of course, before you try certain things, you also need to consider if the consequences are bearable, never act rashly." Song Ci squinted her eyes and said, "Grandmother will tell you one more famous saying: Failure is the mother of success!"
The grandsons pondered thoughtfully.
At this moment, Song Ci didn’t know that her words would successfully lead her grandsons into a pitfall, and someday in the future, she would pound her chest and howl, I said to try, but not in this way!
