Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Du Xiaoshuan moved to Su Teng Village with his family, they bought a house and some land. It was all thanks to the money Du Xiaoshuan had earned from helping Su Wenwu.
He had saved all the money he had earned to buy two acres of land. He knew he needed land to live well in Su Teng Village. Fortunately, he worked for Su Wenwu, and the family made things convenient for him.
The Su family also knew Du Xiaoshuan well and helped him settle in Su Teng Village. Therefore, he bought the two acres of land. Finally, he could use it.
Although he earned a lot monthly, he only felt at ease if he had land.
“Oh, right, we still have two acres of land in Stone Village. Although it’s far from here, it’ll be worth it if we harvest as much as possible.”
Just thinking of the yield made Du Xiaoshuan excited. He had planned to sell his land in Stone Village, but the soil was not ideal. Ultimately, he kept those two plots of land.
However, Li Mei had told him about the potatoes and sweet potatoes being hardier than others, so it was okay if the soil in Stone Village was not ideal for harvests.
Du Xiaoshuan thought, ‘Thank goodness, I still have that land. It’ll come in handy now since we can plant potatoes and sweet potatoes there. Then we can sell the extras after cooking and roasting them.’
His job differed from Li Mei t s. He was responsible for delivering ingredients to the hotpot restaurant and was only busy for a short while daily. Moreover, Su Wenwu would inform him if he needed anything.
Therefore, Du Xiaoshuan could use his free time to tend to the land and sell goods in the town. He could also plant and fry melon seeds to sell them. His eyes lit up when he thought of this.
Li Mei looked at her husband and could not help but laugh. She knew he was hardworking and knew how to make a living. She did not need to worry about him.
Li Mei said, “My family also has two acres of land.”
Before the duo married, she told Du Xiaoshuan she would leave two acres of land to her younger brother. Du Xiaoshuan did not object, saying he would help Li Mei care for her siblings.
However, the young couple did not need to worry about Li Mei’s younger sisters, only her younger brother, since he was too young to work.
When her younger brother finally grew up, he would have to marry and have children. Then, he would need to buy a house and land.
Li Mei and Du Xiaoshuan had considered everything, so the latter planned to give everything to Li Mei’s younger siblings. Du Xiaoshuan would not fight for the land or properties.
He knew he had to work harder for his wife and family. Besides, Li Mei was capable and earned much from the tofu factory. Du Xiaoshuan only wanted to dote on her.
Nonetheless, he was surprised when Li Mei said they should use her land for harvests. Du Xiaoshuan asked, “Shouldn’t we ask for Li Wei, Li Su, and your brother’s opinions first?”
Li Mei smiled and said, “They said we can handle the farming because they believe in you.”
Du Xiaoshuan was always sincere to his wife and her siblings, so they trusted him. Du Xiaoshuan hugged his wife, saying, “That means we have six acres of land.
“We can use some to grow wheat and the others to grow other things like potatoes and sweet potatoes. However, we must prioritize wheat because we can use them for various things.
“Although we also need rice, we’ll need even more wheat. After all, we make plenty of steamed buns. We can also plant more potatoes and sweet potatoes in spring.”
After lunch, the Su family members went to their rooms to catch up on sleep. Su Binglan even pulled her husband along, even though he was not sleepy. He had grown accustomed to only sleeping two hours after leading his troops in the past.
Sometimes, he could not rest for days during a war. However, Su Binglan was worried he would tire himself out, so she pulled him onto the brick bed to
Su Binglan did not know she slept better with Luo Jin’an beside her. That was because she felt a sense of security. She fell asleep soon after lying down.
Lou Jin’an turned to look at her and saw her peaceful expression. He gently stroked her hair, then tidied it. The sunlight shone into the room and landed on Su Binglan.
She glowed and looked beautiful.
Luo Jin’an felt a sweetness in his heart as he looked at her. He leaned in and kissed her forehead. Su Binglan felt his warmth and nodded in a daze.
Luo Jin’an shook his head in amusement and said lowly, “Okay, I won’t disturb you. Go to sleep.”
He knew she was tired from all the work. His heart ached when he saw how tired she was. He tucked her in and lay down to rest with her.
Luo Jinan wasn’t sleepy at first, but he could relax when he heard his wife’s light breathing beside him. He had grown accustomed to being tense and slept
lightly.
It was a habit he had developed after being in the army and defending the border. However, he instinctively relaxed with his wife beside him. Finally, he could fall into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu reviewed some documents in the deceased royal’s mansion. He had used aggressive methods to subdue the local forces. Lan Ruozhu dealt with anyone who refused to accept it or secretly pledged loyalty to others.
He looked gentle and elegant, but only those close to him knew he was profound and resourceful. He was only helpless in the past due to his poor health.
But after recovering, he could do many things and carry out his plans. He had more strength because he knew his sister was still alive. He wanted to create a peaceful world for his sister.
He also wanted all the land from the prefecture to the border, so he arranged for people to do it.
Lan Ruozhu was busy when Blue Eagle entered the room with the eagle Su binglan had brought back from the border.
Lan Ruozhu watched the two entering and smiled. Is it news from Su Teng Village?”
He sent a letter to Luo Jin’an at the end of the year, so he was up to date on Su
Teng Village. Lan Ruozhu felt like Su Binglan was with him when he read what Luo Jin’an had written in the letter.
As he read on, he could also feel the festive atmosphere in Su Teng Village..
