Ch 65: Daily Farm Life After Returning from Interstellar

Trip

The construction of the flower house took longer than Su Mu had imagined. After the main structure was erected, there was still the installation of equipment such as temperature and humidity controls. This was a delicate task, so it couldn’t be rushed.

It was finally completed by the end of August. The result was exactly as shown in the 3D image that Zhao Lei had presented to Su Mu initially. Two glistening metallic flower houses stood not far from the new house. The main structure was made of glass with privacy glass, allowing one to see the outside while preventing anyone from seeing inside, effectively protecting Su Mu’s secret plants.

The construction team helped clean the interior thoroughly, and Su Mu was satisfied with the result. She entrusted them with the task of installing drip irrigation equipment across the hundred acres of land.

However, this task was relatively simple. With a few days of work, Zhao Lei and his team completed the entire installation.

“Miss Su, if everything is in order, we’ll head back to the capital tomorrow. If anything goes wrong later, feel free to contact us.”

“You’ve worked hard, Mr. Zhao.”

“It’s my duty.”

The next day, the construction team that built the flower house left Huayuan Village, but the village still buzzed with activity.

The progress of the recuperation center was only halfway so far, and it was estimated that it wouldn’t be completed until the end of the year. The villagers were delighted about this; the longer the workers stayed, the more they could earn.

At the end of June, the production team of “A Beautiful Day” finally decided to film the new season in Huayuan Village. With the director’s extensive background and the influence of the Tang family, keeping the location of a small mountain village secret was straightforward. The director even visited every household, using money to ensure secrecy and signing proper confidentiality agreements to ensure no leaks.

Therefore, the set construction began in early July. Su Mu occasionally passed by the house and found it full of wild charm, quite spacious.

The investors, director, and Tang Hui had put a lot into this season of the show, naturally having high expectations. They aimed to recover the invested costs and then some.

Between the end of June and August, the production team occasionally released somewhat ambiguous news. The biggest headline was that Tang Hui, who had been absent from the entertainment industry for many years, would make a powerful comeback, which excited his fans and drove up discussions.

The set construction was also nearing completion, so the actual filming was expected to start soon.

Su Mu didn’t pay too much attention to these matters. She moved the Golden Crystal closer to the flower house. Inside, there were numerous shelves of varying heights, but they were all empty.

In the vast flower house, only the Golden Crystal stood, giving it a somewhat desolate feeling.

The other flower house was livelier with a dozen or so pots of orchids and a small seedling of Mist blossom.

Unlike its parent plant, the Mist blossom seedling didn’t grow quickly; it had a normal growth rate. However, during its seedling stage, its entire body was pink in color, resembling something almost fake.

To control its height, Su Mu hadn’t transplanted it into the ground; she left it in a pot. After some consideration, she moved the pink mist seedling closer to the Golden Crystal, letting them keep each other company.

Since there were only a few potted plants, Su Mu didn’t need to do anything drastic when moving them into the flower house. She used her father’s tricycle to finish the task easily.

The Defense Trumpet Flowers had also been planted; she only needed to inject them with their defensive consciousness every day.

On her way back home, she passed by her hundred-plus acres of farmland. The previous peanut and corn fields had been planted with different vegetables. The vegetables she had planted earlier had started supplying Rui Shang and the recuperation center in early July.

The village’s recuperation center was not yet complete, but He Fu had already distributed the vegetables to various city recuperation centers. Due to the limited quantity of vegetables, only patients with more severe conditions could enjoy Su family vegetables.

As it turned out, He Fu’s decision to cooperate with Su Mu was absolutely right. Not only did a large number of anorexia patients slowly recover and leave the hospital, but the conditions of patients with depression also improved significantly.

The main reason was that San Mu vegetables were incredibly delicious. Depression patients found themselves becoming attached to the world again, and with the guidance of psychological therapists, many of them transitioned from severe to mild cases of depression.

During this time, some amusing anecdotes circulated.

The most memorable one was about a severe anorexia patient who wanted to continue eating San Mu’s vegetables so much that she concealed her true condition from the doctors, pretending to still be seriously ill. Fortunately, the doctors saw through her ruse quickly and sent her back home.

Most patients admitted to the He family’s recuperation center were wealthy and influential. The doctors suggested that if they feared a relapse of their condition, they could buy San Mu’s vegetables from Rui Shang’s online store to cook at home. Whether it was offline or online, San Mu vegetables were equally hard to get.

This harsh reality made the patients want to cry. They wished to return to the recuperation center!

After settling the matter of the flower house, Su Mu found herself with more free time and decided to go on a short trip.

Originally, she wanted to invite her parents to join her. Her parents were already in their fifties and the farthest they had traveled was to the city of Muyun. Su Mu wanted to take advantage of their current good health and show them more of the country’s beautiful scenery.

However, Mother Su caught a cold after a rainy day, making it inconvenient for her to travel. Naturally, Father Su couldn’t go on the trip either, as he needed to take care of his wife.

This left Su Mu somewhat disappointed. She had already planned where to go, but now she had to cross several places off the list.

She wasn’t used to traveling alone and hesitated about whether she should cancel the trip.

In the end, Mother Su suggested, “Why don’t you invite Xiao Shi? You can use this opportunity to strengthen your relationship.”

Father Su immediately opposed the idea, “Isn’t that inappropriate? A young man and a young woman traveling together would give people the wrong impression about Mu Mu.”

“Why would that be a problem? You’re being old-fashioned. Traveling is when you can truly get to know someone. It’s better to understand more now than to regret later.”

“Besides, if you don’t trust Xiao Shi, at least trust your daughter, right?”

Father Su had no response to that. His wife was right; these two young people should spend some time alone to determine if they were compatible for a life together.

He could only repeatedly caution Su Mu, afraid that his daughter might suffer any losses.

Su Mu laughed and sighed, “Dad, I understand. We need two rooms for accommodation, and don’t open the door after nine o’clock… Oh? I haven’t even asked him yet. Maybe he doesn’t have the time to travel with me? Dad, please don’t worry about it for now.”

After her father left, worried, she decided to give Gu Shi a call.

At that moment, Gu Shi was in a video conference with the company’s board members. When his personal ringtone sounded, he raised his hand, interrupting his subordinate’s report.

“Pause for a few minutes.”

The moment the words fell, he left his seat, leaving the people in the headquarters meeting room looking at each other.

Wasn’t Young Master Gu the one who hated taking calls during meetings the most? Why did he…?

Only Gu Yan, seated at the head, rubbed his chin and revealed a deep, inscrutable smile.

Gu Shi went to the balcony before answering the call, “Hello, Mu Mu?”

Su Mu explained her intentions in detail, and hesitated at the end, “Are you available? If not, I’ll just go on my own.”

Gu Shi had been jealous when she went on a trip without him last time, even though she went with her parents. Tagging along wouldn’t be appropriate. He had mentally prepared himself for a few days of separation, but now, there seemed to be a twist!

This was exactly what he wanted to hear. He spoke softly, “I’m available, and I’m very happy.”

How could he not be happy? Finally, they would have some time alone together.
