Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 466 - 464: A Picture of Tranquil Years
"Grandma, these vegetables are growing very well." Lu Shouyue took off his coat and casually placed it on a chair, then walked into the vegetable garden to squat beside the elderly lady, helping to catch bugs.
"Have you eaten?" The elderly lady, Yu Ni, glanced at Lu Shouyue and continued searching for bugs in the vegetable garden.
"Yes, I ate before coming over." Lu Shouyue brushed through the vegetable leaves, clumsily looking for bugs.
"It’s dirty here, go wait for Grandma in the living room, Grandma will come soon."
"It’s okay, Grandma, I’ll help you."
"Hehehe, alright, you never really worked in the fields, learn a bit, it’s quite interesting."
Yu Ni grows completely natural and organic vegetables, without using any chemicals, and naturally avoids pesticides, so bugs are inevitable.
With age, sleep becomes light, and growing vegetables is a way to cultivate the mind and body, while catching bugs in the garden at night is another form of relaxation.
Some people love planting flowers, some love growing vegetables, Yu Ni uniquely loves growing vegetables.
This western-style house in the bustling city has small yards both front and back, which were flower gardens before but have now been transformed into vegetable gardens by Yu Ni. The vegetables grown in these front and back yards are more than enough to eat for a year.
She not only grows vegetables but also enjoys watching them grow. The perimeter of the vegetable garden is equipped with cameras, recording the growth of these vegetables at all times.
Sometimes, Yu Ni can spend one or two hours just watching these growth videos of the vegetables.
She is an elderly lady who keeps pace with the times and sometimes live streams without showing her face while weeding and gardening.
This silent and serene live stream initially didn’t have much popularity but gradually gained a fixed audience.
Yu Ni usually chooses to start her live-streaming of gardening at night since people tend to be more sentimental at night.
Her style of live-streaming didn’t take long before it gradually attracted many people with weary, burdened hearts to watch.
They might be housewives spinning around daily essentials, only having time to relax and browse videos after their kids are asleep.
Or middle-aged people with responsibilities to both their elderly and children, bearing the family’s burden on their shoulders, working neither too hard nor too easy, with ambiguous bosses, enduring silently as they dare not resign.
Or young drifters who left small cities for metropolises, cramped in tiny rentals with only the night truly belonging to them, unwilling to sleep early.
Watching someone else’s tranquility during these live streams makes them feel like they, too, experience a slice of it.
Tonight, as Yu Ni catches bugs in the vegetable garden, she also has her live stream on.
The camera is at the level of the vegetables, and no faces can be seen.
Usually, it’s just the day-to-day scenes of an old farmer lady on camera, but today, a young man’s figure suddenly appeared.
Though the man’s face isn’t visible, just hearing his voice sparks endless imagination.
This grandma’s grandson must be a handsome guy, his voice is truly captivating.
[Blind person reporting a highlight! Did anyone notice the watch on the grandson’s wrist?]
[Watch? What watch? What about this watch and the vegetables?]
[Any expert could explain, please come forward!]
The focus in the live room suddenly shifted, and the atmosphere became lively.
Discussions about the vegetables and garden faded away, replaced by interest in the watch on the young man’s wrist.
[It’s here! Found it! This watch is the Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Celestia!]
[Indeed! There’s a starry sky on it, with several incomprehensible pointers!]
[This watch is a unique Astronomical Grand Complication masterpiece globally, capable of displaying solar time, sidereal time, and various astronomical times!]
[Damn, this watch is stunningly handsome! Like waves rippling across a brilliant starry river!]
[You upstairs are missing the point, let me clarify, this watch costs a whopping 17 million! Each is a uniquely collectible masterpiece!]
[I can’t compete, I always thought I was watching a lonely grandma working hard, but turns out she’s secretly a big shot passing time by gardening!]
Just then, Yu Ni stood up and walked to the phone stand at the edge of the vegetable garden to turn off the live stream for the day.
The elderly lady had no idea how much of a sensation her live room had caused because of Lu Shouyue’s wrist accidentally appearing on-screen.
Her grandson came to visit her, so of course, she couldn’t stay in the field all the time. After catching the bugs in this row of vegetables, she turned off the live stream, took her grandson’s hand, and headed indoors to prepare food with him.
"No need to fuss, Grandma, I’m not hungry at all." Lu Shouyue changed into slippers under the corridor with the elderly lady, both entering the house.
Besides the elderly lady, there were three young maids, a middle-aged housekeeper, and two bodyguards inside the house.
After washing her hands, the elderly lady took out some fruits, cookies, and nuts, placing them on the coffee table, inviting Lu Shouyue to have some, and the middle-aged housekeeper brought out a freshly brewed pot of tea.
Hence, the servants and bodyguards retreated, as not drawing attention in the presence of their masters is a fundamental etiquette.
Their existence is to ensure the house is spotless, meals are nutritious, and security is airtight, yet never swaying in front of their masters, annoying them.
"Shouyue, you seem thinner, has work been exhausting lately?"
"Ah, have I lost weight?" Lu Shouyue touched his face and chuckled, "I feel like I’m getting fatter from working out for so long, you know."
"Not at all, eat more fruit quickly." Yu Ni smiled and kept urging Lu Shouyue to eat, "And what about that pretty girl? You took her to your mom’s birthday party, why not introduce her to Grandma too?"
Lu Shouyue rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "Grandma, no rush, no rush, maybe later, she’s busy right now too."
Then he quickly switched topics, "Oh, by the way, Grandma, I saw a very charming piece of embroidery these past two days, I specially bought it for you to enjoy, see if you like it?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Yu Ni gazed at Lu Shouyue, revealing a meaningful smile. After admiring the embroidery that he brought over, the old lady slowly said, "Mm, it’s quite nice, the embroidery is rich in charm, definitely made with care. Did you get this from the Yongtang shop run by that young lady?"
Lu Shouyue laughed, "Grandma, you know about Yongtang!"
The elderly lady chuckled proudly, "You brought that young lady to the birthday banquet, though Grandma, being old, couldn’t make it there, I’ve got my sources, you know."
Saying this, Yu Ni took Lu Shouyue’s hand, stood up, and said, "Come, Grandma will show you a truly excellent piece of embroidery."
Lu Shouyue followed Yu Ni into an exhibition room filled with various types of embroidery works.
There were framed pieces hanging on the walls resembling paintings, ones made into round fans, and others styled as small table screens, you name it.
The embroidery work that the elderly lady showed Lu Shouyue, if Lin Wanwan were here, she would recognize instantly as Yongtang’s signature piece.
