Chapter 54 – Protecting wife (4)

Su Ergou took the three children and let them lay on the chair to bask them in the sun. 

Father Su sighed with sorrow: “My daughter, have you noticed that our family’s life has been much better since the son-in-law came to our house? Previously, we wouldn’t even be able to see the meat twice in a month. But recently, we are always able to eat meat at every meal.”

Was that really the credit for Wei Ting?

It was her credit! She was the one who was transmigrated here, alright!

Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she puffed like a small fat puffer fish. Then she glanced at someone coldly.

… It was not enough to just sleep once, at the very least it had to be two times!

Wei Ting glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was about to explode because of anger. He smiled and said to Su Cheng, “Dad is right, I am a man who can bring prosperity to his wife.”

Su Xiaoxiao tore the bamboo leaves with a snap!

Three times!

——

In the afternoon, Su Cheng continued to make the crutches for Wei Ting, and Su Ergou took care of the children.

Su Xiaoxiao went on a trip to her family’s field.

The words she said in front of Father Su about letting Wei Ting go to the farm when he recovered, that was only a talk, nothing more.

After all, Wei Ting would leave after he recovered.

It is December now. She had been here for so long. She had also more or less understood the climate here.

Xinghua Town was located in the middle part of the Zhou Dynasty. It was a little bit to the north,with four distinct seasons. It would snow in winter. It was not as cold as the northern part, so there was no kang bed-stove.

-Kang bed-stove

“Well, it is somewhat similar to the climate in the middle and lower part of the Yangtze River in the previous life. What kind of crops are suitable for this climate?”

-Yangtze River, the longest river in Eurasia, the third-longest in the world, and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. It rises at Jari Hill in the Tanghulu Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau and flows 6,300 km in a generally easterly direction to the East China Sea.

She had heard that there were many specializations and techniques in this occupation. In her previous life, she became independent too early and learned some cooking skills. However, regarding farming, she was really clueless and didn’t know anything.

“Wait a minute, let’s not worry about the planting first. I seem to have forgotten where my family’s field is.”

Su Xiaoxiao stood blankly in front of the paddy fields while doubting her life, she looked just like a lost fat penguin. 

 “Da, Daya?”

A bewildered voice came from behind her.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head around and found that it was Old Li Tou and his wife, Mrs. Qian.

The two people, one was carrying a hoe and the other was carrying a basket. They should have come to work in the field.

“Uncle Li, Aunt Qian.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted them.

Old Li Tou asked, “What are you doing here?”

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head and said, “I want to go to my family’s field to take a look, but I forget where it is.”

Old Li Tou was amused by her naive and silly appearance: “I will take you there.”

Mrs. Qian seemed to want to stop him, but Old Li Tou had already led Su Xiaoxiao forward, so she had no choice and could only follow her fate.

“This is your family’s field.”

Old Li Tou said while pointing to a field which was overgrown with grass and weeds.

The Su family’s two acres of field had been neglected for so many years, and it had long been in bad shape. It was reasonable to say that if the land was ruined to this degree, its ownership would be taken back by the village.

But who dared to take the field of the three tyrants of the Su family?

“Daya, do you want to farm?” Old Li Tou asked.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head: “I want to grow some vegetables, so that I don’t have to go to the town to buy vegetables in the future.”

Old Li Tou said, “What kind of vegetable do you want to eat? Just go to my field to pick them.”

Mrs. Qian glared at her man!

Su Pangya could eat so much. If you really let her pick by herself, then all the leaves in the field will be pulled up!

“The field also needs to be planted.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Old Li Tou said, “The field is already so barren like this, it needs to be cultivated again before it can be planted. Moreover, even if you start to plant it now, it will take several months before it can be harvested.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused for a moment: “Then I will pick vegetables from your field first, and I will see what vegetables I can plant too.”

Old Li Tou said, “What do you want to plant? I will give you the seeds and seedlings. If you can’t plant them, just let your Aunt Qian teach you.”

Mrs. Qian turned her face away, she didn’t want to teach Su Pangya how to farm!
