Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 130 Essential Oils

The three of them were sitting on a patch of grass at the foot of the mountain, with several baskets of flowers beside them.

"Hey, Xi'er, I heard from my second aunt that I will come to your house to propose marriage in a few days."

Ye Shuyun also heard this news for the first time, "Really?"

Lin Xi replied somewhat embarrassedly, "It's true, in three days."

"Then when did you know about this? Why didn't you tell us?"

"It's not that I've been busy lately, I don't have much time."

Jiang Ci asked again, "You are both of marriageable age, do you want to set a date for the wedding this time?"

"Well, it's settled. Brother Bei has found someone to calculate the date. We'll get married in a month and a half, on October 10th."

"It's October 10th. The weather is getting cold. It's time to put on a coat."

"It's a bit cold, but I want to stay at home with my mother for a while longer."

Ye Shuyun was the one who could best understand Lin Xi's feelings, "The two villages are close to each other, and Ye Bei comes to the village every day, so you should follow him often in the future.

It seems that Ye Bei now spends more time in our village than in Xiaoye Village."

Jiang Ci felt that Lin Xi was suffering from some pre-marital anxiety now.

"My second aunt is very easy to get along with. She has always been looking forward to Ye Bei marrying you home. Last time I went there, she said she wanted to go to your house to propose marriage. My second aunt was so happy that she smiled and liked you very much. Your life will be better in Xiaoye Village in the future."

"Yes, you see, Ye Bei is helping you with work every day. He doesn't want you to be so tired. If you marry him, he will definitely be reluctant to let you do so much work."

Jiang Ci also agreed, "When the time comes, you can leave a few acres of our family's land in the village to your mother, and rent the rest to tenants, so your mother won't have to suffer for the crops in the fields anymore."

"Then we have to look for tenants during this time, and in a few days we will have to plow the land and plant wheat."

"I have considered this. Do you think we should rent it to the Song Cheng family or the Gao Yinshan family?"

Jiang Ci didn't understand this, so Ye Shuyun gave her advice.

"Both families are good and they grow crops well. I think we should rent it to Song Cheng's family. This year, Lin Changye has taken back the land he rented to his family. Since he has less land to grow crops, he can take over your acres of land. But I still need to ask someone else."

Lin Xi shook her head and put all of this behind her. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Ci, the popcorn you gave me yesterday was really delicious. How did you make it?"

"This is a very simple method. Two bowls of corn kernels..."

They both went back and tried it according to what Jiang Ci said.

When popcorn started popping out, Ye Shuyun immediately covered the pot, and everything went smoothly.

When Lin Xi was cooking at home, a few popcorns suddenly popped out, which scared him. He also remembered what Jiang Ci said about covering the pot immediately, but his hands shook and he didn't hold it firmly, so the lid fell off.

At that moment, the popcorn almost popped onto his face, but fortunately he immediately picked up the lid and covered the pot.

Then I looked at the popcorn that popped out next to the stove. I definitely couldn't waste it, so I picked it up and ate it.

He gave a fair evaluation, "Well, it tastes good. I'll give it to Brother Bei to try tomorrow."

Three days passed in a flash, and my second uncle, my second aunt and Ye Bei came with a cart of things to propose marriage.

On this day, Ye Bei's face was frozen with joy.

This matter has also become a new topic of conversation in the village.

If you take a walk around this village, you will hear the aunts and uncles sitting in groups of three or four at the doorsteps of their homes at the entrance of the village. Most of the topics they talk about are the scene when Ye Bei proposed to Lin Xi that day.

"I saw it clearly right in front of me. It was such a big silver bracelet!"

The uncle and aunt even put down their toothbrushes and gestured, "There are actually two."

"Oh, that's incredible. These two bracelets might be worth three or four taels of silver."

"That's right, Lin Xi is really lucky."

"You can't say that. A few years ago..."

Ye Wan came to the kitchen door with a spatula and saw Lin Jingsheng drying clothes in the yard.

"Jingsheng, go and call Brother Ci, it's time to come out for dinner."

"Okay, let's go."

When he pushed open the half-open door, he saw Jiang Ci fiddling with a pile of things and petals he didn't recognize on the table.

The desk in the corner was filled with things, and the square table that was originally in the middle was also moved over there and filled with flower petals.

"Aci, it's time to eat."

"Okay, wait a little longer for me, I'll be done with this."

Lin Jingsheng stood next to Jiang Ci and watched her movements, watching the oil-like substance made of flower petals coming out of the tube.

After the last drop was dripped, Jiang Ci stretched lazily.

Jiang Ci's mood also became visibly happier, "It's done, let's go."

Lin Jingsheng held Jiang Ci in his arms and hugged him for a while, then put his head in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath.

"These past few days, Ah Ci has been smelling a strong floral scent."

"Is there?" Jiang Ci also raised his arm and smelled it, "No?"

"Yes, you have smelled it a lot here, and you can't smell it anymore because you have smelled it a lot."

Sitting in the main room eating lunch, Ye Wan added piece after piece of braised pork to Jiang's porcelain bowl.

"Okay, okay, don't pick it up for me, Mom. If I want to eat it, I can pick it up myself."

"Then you should eat more meat. Ask Jingsheng to take you to the mountains this afternoon. You can't stay in the room fiddling with those things all the time."

He had already successfully made several kinds of essential oils, so he was not in a hurry and agreed.

After taking a nap, Lin Jingsheng took Jiang Ci for a walk in the mountains.

The wind blew through the treetops, causing them to tremble slightly. A few withered yellow leaves fluttered down in the wind, like butterflies floating in the air.

Lin Jingsheng picked up a small leaf that fell on Jiang Ci's head.

"It's autumn now, and the leaves are starting to fall."

Lin Jingsheng said softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone, this was their first autumn together.

He held the leaf in his hand, carefully examining its texture and color, as if he could read the traces of time from it.

Jiang Ci reached out to catch the fallen leaves. "He just stayed in the room for a few days, but it seems like he hasn't come out for dozens of days."

"Are these essential oils made by Ci enough?"

“It’s almost there. As long as we make one, the rest will be easy. They’re all done in the same way.

The main reason is that it’s already autumn, and it won’t be long before winter comes. There are no more flowers, so I’ll have to stop making soap for a while.”

"That's why Ah Ci is so anxious to make essential oil from flowers."

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. This is our first year and we have no experience. When the flowers bloom next year, we'll find someone to make enough essential oils for a year."

They walked hand in hand in the forest, stopping and looking at the trees around them.

When he came across a tree bearing fruit, Lin Jingsheng would go find a perfect fruit and give it to Jiang Ci to taste.
