Rebirth 90: I changed my fate by winning the lottery

It only took two days from the time Ding Mo ran away from home and was caught by Zhou Lang to the time he moved into Zhou's house without knowing why.

Although Grandma Zhou looked like a carefree and warm-hearted person, she was actually very thoughtful. She never mentioned money to Ding Mo, for fear that the child would think that she took her in for her money.

The living expenses that Ding Mo gave was not too much, but not too little either. Grandma Zhou didn't want to use it for anything else. She used it all to cook for Ding Mo in various ways.

Grandpa Zhou also joked: "It's all because of you that my living standard has improved!"

Ding Mo actually didn't communicate much with the two elders throughout the day, because she had to go to school early in the morning and didn't come home until dinner time. The three of them basically communicated at the dining table. Grandma Zhou would just ask about how she was doing at school and whether the food she had eaten was to her liking.

Ding Mo actually spent half a month in Zhou's family living in peace with Ding Zhiping.

After all, the Zhou family and the Ding family are still some distance apart, so the chance of Ding Mo running into Liu Yun when she goes out is not very high. Only Ding Zhiping will come to see her every now and then.

Gradually, the empty space on Zhou Lang's bookshelf was filled with Ding Mo's textbooks, and Ding Mo carefully wiped Zhou Lang's former desk every day.

During this period, Zhou Lang called home and was very happy to learn that Ding Mo was now living in his house. He called Ding Mo over the phone and expressed his condolences.

Ding Mo studied, studied, and studied diligently in this atmosphere...

"You can't study all day long, can you?" Grandma Zhou knocked on her door. "It's the weekend, and you got up early in the morning and sat in front of the desk without moving at all!"

Seeing that Ding Mo was still sitting on the stool and just staring at her blankly after talking for a long time, Grandma Zhou walked over and pulled her up from the stool: "Can't you go out and play with your classmates?"

Ding Mo was in a dilemma. Many of her classmates invited her out to play, but she declined them all on the grounds that she had to study.

"Then why don't you go out and watch TV for a while?" Grandma Zhou asked.

What's so good about a TV series that you've already watched once? Ding Mo also refused.

"If you really can't make it, go to the backyard and accompany your Grandpa Zhou! He's making tea there!"

She was eventually kicked out of the room by Grandma Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou was sitting in the backyard drinking his old man's tea.

The Zhou family's house is much smaller than the Ding family's, with only two rooms, but they have the advantage of being on the first floor, so there is a large garden in the backyard.

Ding Mo looked around the garden. It seemed to have been abandoned, with a lot of dirt and debris piled up.

"Why not plant some flowers?" she asked.

Ding Zhiqin and her husband planted a lot of vegetables in the small yard of their home, which was both interesting and could be used for cooking.

"You're just too lazy to do it, aren't you?" Grandpa Zhou said cheerfully, and asked her, "Why are you interested in growing flowers?"

Ding Mo shook his head and denied it: "I just think it's a bit of a waste to leave such a yard empty."

In her previous life, she was a hard-working programmer who had no time to take care of plants. Occasionally, she would buy a couple of cacti from a stall and take them home, but she would kill them both.

But she has always longed for a life with a yard, of course, after she retires, so she can grow some flowers and vegetables. Maybe this is the farming gene of the Chinese people at work.

She didn't want to be idle, so she saw a lot of tools lying among the sundries on the side. She went forward to look through them and found a rake. She simply picked up the rake and started weeding in the garden.

Grandpa Zhou continued to drink his old man's tea while watching Ding Mo work happily.

Ding Mo's posture of using the rake is quite standard. Although she has never done farm work, she watched a lot of short videos before her rebirth, so she still knows how to use this simple farm tool.

It's a pity that I don't have much strength, and the weeds in the yard are perennial. Even if I have the right tools, it is difficult to pull out the weeds directly.

Grandma Zhou ran to the backyard and saw Ding Mo working there. She turned around and glared at Grandpa Zhou fiercely: "You let your child do this here?"

Then he turned around angrily and found a hat for Ding Mo and a pair of gloves for her to wear.

Ding Mo was working very hard when she was forced to wear a sun hat and a pair of gloves. However, when Grandma Zhou interrupted her, she realized that she had been standing in the hot sun for an unknown period of time.

The weeds she had sorted out were thrown aside and had formed a small pile.

The weeds in the field are relatively easy to remove, but those along the wall are all vines like morning glories, which are not so easy to deal with.

"Uncle Zhou, do we need to remove the vines here?" Although they are not in bloom, the vines that are climbing all over the wall can be considered a kind of greening.

"Are you planning to plant something on this land? If so, you have to weed it out. If not, just leave it as it is," said Grandpa Zhou.

Ding Mo suddenly felt embarrassed. She could have considered the weeding as some housework for someone else, but if she directly planted vegetables in someone else's yard, that would be like taking charge of the situation.

Before Ding Mo could refuse, Grandma Zhou came back and stuffed a small plastic bag into Ding Mo's hand: "Take it and have a look. Plant whatever you want."

Ding Mo opened the small plastic bag and saw that it was filled with packets of seeds, including those of Chinese cabbage, mint, pepper, tomato, chrysanthemum and so on.

"Grandma Zhou, do you still have this at home?" Ding Mo asked curiously.

"I just bought them at the farmer's market. A bag like this only costs two dollars." Grandma Zhou didn't know what Ding Mo wanted to grow, but she guessed that the child would be embarrassed, so she simply ran out and bought a bunch of seeds herself. It was up to her to choose whether to grow flowers or vegetables.

Ding Mo was instantly amused. These two old people were really interesting.
