Chapter 671 - 539: OK, Welcome
"All set!"
The owner of the "orchard" was so generous that after Zhuang Jianxian and Zhuang Siqi happily put down their phones, each picked up a pair of scissors and headed towards the glistening fruits in the sunlight.
Zhuang Jianxian, being tall, chose to cut the grapes.
Zhuang Siqi, a bit shorter, bent down to cut the figs.
Ning Youguang walked over to the grapevine, helping Zhuang Jianxian collect the grapes.
Soon, a basket was full of grapes.
Ning Youguang said to Zhuang Jianxian, "Wait a moment, I’ll go get another basket."
She placed the grapes aside and went back into the house to get another matching basket.
As she came out, she spotted Zhuang Siqi squatting under the lush fig tree, eating fruit.
"Is it delicious?" she asked with a smile.
"Delicious." Zhuang Siqi nodded repeatedly, "It’s so sweet."
"The grapes are sweet too." The voice of Zhuang Jianxian came from above.
Ning Youguang looked up—
Ah!
It turns out there was more than one little thief in the garden.
"Do you want to eat here, or finish picking and then sit down to eat?"
"Finish picking and then sit down to eat." Zhuang Siqi and Zhuang Jianxian tossed the fruit peels into the nearby trash can and continued to cut the grapes and figs with a snap.
After picking the grapes and figs, the Zhuang family twins sensibly went to the kitchen, each washing a plate of grapes and figs and bringing it out.
They sat in the garden, eating freshly picked fruit and drinking freshly brewed coffee, feeling that life was incredibly relaxing—
"The coffee tastes good too."
Zhuang Jianxian was satisfied with the coffee.
"Don’t drink too much," Ning Youguang reminded with a smile, "Have some herbal tea later."
Their delicate stomachs couldn’t handle much.
"What could be better than this?" Zhuang Siqi rocked with joy.
After chatting for a bit, Ning Youguang introduced them to the small flower bed inside the tea table, "Since there’s a bit less sunlight here, I’ve planted shade-loving plants like Taro, Calathea, ferns, and pennywort."
So it looked fresh and green overall, with ceramic pots placed nearby, giving off a quiet and leisurely vibe.
Zhuang Siqi curiously tugged at a plant outside the tea table he didn’t recognize, "What plant is this?"
"Wisteria." Ning Youguang said, "It hasn’t bloomed this year because of poor sunlight, planning to move it later."
"Oh, oh~" Zhuang Siqi said with a happy squint, "The name of this flower sounds so nice. Growing it as a non-blooming plant here is pretty nice too. The entire area is fresh and green, sitting here having tea is so comfortable, pleasing to the eyes and mind."
"Wang Yue said the same thing too." Ning Youguang chuckled, "So I’ve been hesitating whether to move it."
"Hahaha~ then you guys discuss it." Zhuang Siqi laughed it off.
Ning Youguang lowered her head and smiled lightly, and continued to introduce to the twins, "The flowers here can bloom from early spring to late autumn. In early spring, tulips, daffodils, and snow-in-summer will bloom, April and May are the main scenes for Wisteria, in autumn, the maple leaves gradually turn yellow and red, European roses also start to rebloom, and they continue to bloom into late autumn, even winter."
"Wow!" Zhuang Siqi and Zhuang Jianxian exchanged glances, "It makes us want to redo our garden back home too, having flowers bloom year-round sounds amazing."
"It’s not blooming all year round. From early winter to before spring arrives, it’s all quiet here." Ning Youguang reached out her hand, pointing to the large area of roses and plants in the garden, "At that time, the plants turn into segments of brown stems, waiting for the next year when temperatures rise and days lengthen, the flower branches will transform into flowers and leaves."
"Are you talking about this big area?" Zhuang Siqi ran over and stood within a large flower arch.
"Yes." Ning Youguang nodded.
"What variety is this?" Zhuang Siqi bent down, leaning towards a pink rose to sniff its fragrance.
"Pink Da Vinci."
"And this?" she pointed at another flower nearby.
"Florentina."
"And this?"
"Distant Drums."
"And this?"
"Woman of Chenonceau Castle."
"And this?"
"Shining Light."
"This one, this one, this one, this one, this one..."
"Angela, Red Dragon, Ella Pompon, Grand Parade, Ivy Little One, Gates of Happiness, Arabian Nights."
"Goddess, you’re amazing. How do you remember the flower names so clearly, and distinguish them so well?" Zhuang Siqi felt that if Ning Youguang weren’t a teacher, she would be a very professional gardener.
