Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Despicable Bone

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.

Qin Han’s eyes lit up immediately, "When did you start liking these books, little brother?"

Zhang Guilan smiled and slapped him lightly, "You think everyone’s like you?" That book was definitely bought by his sister-in-law.

Qin Han also realized he’d gotten a bit too excited today.

............

In the evening, after dinner, the family started watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Lan Chuxia had bought a television for Qin Father and Qin Mother, and Qin Han had bought them a radio last year.

Nowadays, the elders lived a unique life in Qin Family Village.

Little Zhuangzhuang, who couldn’t sit still, dragged his dad out into the yard to set off fireworks and called Ningning to join.

Outside, fireworks popped continuously while Little Ningning watched with wide hopeful eyes.

Qin Juan patted her little head, "Ningning, be good. Let’s just watch TV inside."

A shadow fell over Ningning’s eyes as she softly agreed, "Okay."

Little Zhuangzhuang wouldn’t accept this; he had been inseparable from Sister Ningning these past few days. How could he leave her behind on such a fun occasion as setting off fireworks?

He grabbed Ningning’s little hand, "Sister Ningning, let’s go, let’s go. My dad will set off big fireworks for us, and I can set off my little red fireworks for you too."

Mrs. Qin also chimed in, "Juanzi, let the children go play. Why restrain her during the festival?"

"Exactly, with all the excitement outside, how can the kids stay in?" Zhang Guilan also added.

Qin Juan looked at her mother and lowered her voice to remind, "Mom, I am a married daughter, and a married daughter can’t come and step on her parental home’s threshold during New Year’s."
