Lin Han saw Sister Wang and Sister Zhang hesitantly peeking out from the doorway, so she quickly put down what she was holding and went out to greet them.

"Sister Wang, Sister Zhang, what brings you here?"

Sister Wang was worried that she had gone to the wrong door, so she peeked inside. When she saw Lin Han herself, she was certain that she had found the right address.

"We heard you moved, so we thought we'd come and see if there was anything we could help you with."

Lin Han was deeply moved that these two older women were still thinking of her.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly. Actually, there's nothing much to do. Huo Qizheng called people to help, and the house is basically all set up."

Sister Wang and Sister Zhang followed Lin Han on a tour of the place, inside and out, and exclaimed in admiration.

"This house is really nice. It's well-ventilated from north to south and very spacious. The yard alone must be several dozen square meters. We can grow a lot of vegetables there."

"That's because Lin Meizi tidied it up so well. The furniture and decorations in this room are all rare items. I've never seen this sofa before. And you know what, the green color is really quite beautiful."

The two were genuinely envious and truly admired Lin Han's competence.

Even if they were given a house like this, they couldn't recreate the feeling of Lin Han's home.

Sister Wang came out of the main house and looked at the empty space in the yard, her farming instincts kicking in.

"Miss Lin, what are you planning to plant on this plot of land? I can help you; I'm an expert at farming."

“I can help too. We can’t handle the things inside the house, but farming is definitely no problem. You, with your thin arms and legs, can just stand aside and give directions, and we’ll do the work.”

Lin Han knew the two older women meant well, and they wouldn't leave without their help.

So he gladly accepted, and later gave her some gifts in return as a token of his gratitude.

"I plan to plant some fruit trees in the yard and scatter some grass seeds in the empty spaces."

Sister Wang asked, puzzled, "Don't you grow vegetables?"

"You don't need to plant them. Fruit trees can flower, be beautiful to look at, and bear fruit. Plus, you don't need to replant them every year. It's more convenient than growing vegetables."

I'm not very good at cooking, so I'll probably be eating at the cafeteria most of the time from now on.

Sister Wang and Sister Zhang thought about it and agreed. Lin Han's yard was so big that if it were all planted with vegetables, she wouldn't be able to eat them all. Planting some fruit trees would allow her to pick fruit to eat.

If there are too many fruits, you can dry them in the sun without worrying about them spoiling.

"Okay, you tell us how to plant it. We even brought hoes. We can start working now."

Lin Han told Sister Wang and Sister Zhang about her plan.

"Plant a cherry tree here, a pomegranate tree on the other side of the wall, pave the path from the gate to the house with stone slabs, plant strawberries and blueberries on both sides of the stone slabs, and scatter grass seeds in the rest of the area."

Sister Wang and Sister Zhang listened attentively. "Okay, we'll help you turn over the soil first, and then dig out the tree pit."

Then you just need to sow the seeds and transplant the seedlings.

The two of them got right to work, and were very quick and efficient.

Lin Han went to the kitchen to put away the newly bought items, and then took out a set of glasses to serve guests and washed them.

I poured some purified water from the space and brought it to the people who were helping with the work.

"Everyone has worked hard, please have some water."

The soldier who helped carry the furniture took the water cup and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Mmm, this water is really sweet. Commander Huo and his wife are so sweet together, even the tap water at home is sweet."
