Chapter 236: Are You So Concerned About Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After making up his mind, Qu Lianghua’s gaze gradually became firm. “Mother, we’ll leave Youjia Village tomorrow morning. We’ve been away for so long, and Father also can’t part with you. There are still many matters at home that need you to manage. When we go back, let Sister-in-law come here to take care of
Xian’er and Sheng’er.”
Madam Qu’s eyes widened. ‘What about you? Are you not going to attend lessons at the academy anymore? Is it because of me? Do you also feel embarra.s.sed because of me?” Madam Qu started to cry again.
Qu Lianghua shook his head. “No, I just feel that I’m out of place here and not used to the teaching method at Qinghe Academy. I also want to go home and take good care of you and father.”
What out of place? Qu Lianghua was clearly saying something against his will.
When he occasionally saw Cui Lingyi, he would be secretly happy for a long time. After receiving his teacher’s guidance, he would excitedly discuss it with his big brother.
He often praised the teacher’s demeanor and literary talent, so much that he could not hide the admiration in his eyes.
At this moment, Madam Qu was even sadder than her son blaming her.
She wanted to smile, but she forced out an expression that was uglier than crying. “Why are you going back? Mother hasn’t helped you to propose yet! You should just stay and study well!”
She would just not talk bad about the Cui family or confront Bai Wutong.
For her son, she would just endure it.
Qu Lianghua had already made up his mind. Moreover, he had long known that Cui Lingyi had no feelings for him, and Cui Shize did not fancy him as a son-in-law. He shook his head. “No, I’ve already made up my mind. I can study elsewhere.” As long as he worked hard, he would definitely not be inferior to Big Brother.
He looked determined. Madam. Qu was worried that after failing to marry Cui Lingyi, when he returned, he would either escape into an empty sect or vow not to marry.
How could this work!
Madam Qu wiped her tears and said firmly, “No! I have to propose marriage for you. Whether it works or not, I have to give it a try for you!”
Qu Lianghua was extremely touched by his mother’s words. He blamed himself for letting his mother down and not being a good son.
The scene of him first meeting Cui Lingyi appeared in Qu Lianghua’s mind. He cut it off decisively and said to Madam Qu, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll listen to your marriage arrangements when I get back.”
In an instant, Madam Qu’s eyes lit up.
Compared to Cui Lingyi, who was not easy to get along with and could easily control her son, it was naturally better for her to choose a daughter-in-law herself.
When his son got married and brought the young and virtuous new wife back to Youjia Village to study, he would definitely anger the widow to death.
Madam Qu quickly agreed. “Alright, let’s go home and get you married!” She could not hide the excitement on her face and comforted Qu Lianghua. “You can return to the academy in a while. Don’t worry. My son is so smart. No one can compare to him.”
Qu Lianghua nodded. Qu Liangyu, who knew him well, knew that his brother would probably not return.
If he brought his new wife back and saw the love in his heart, how would he feel?
After the Mid-autumn Festival, it was the best time to harvest rice.
In the golden water fields, the autumn wind blew as if they were dancing enthusiastically.
There were only two acres of rice field in Bai Wutong’s family. At a glance, the yield was average.
It was less than half of the harvest of modern farmland.
Cui Muzhi was wearing a large bamboo hat and holding a large scythe in his hand. He was prepared to experience the hardships on the field.
He asked Lan Jingbai excitedly, “Blue Blockhead, look, do I look good in a bamboo hat?”
Cui Muzhi’s appearance was exquisite. He was wearing a bamboo hat and looked even more handsome. His fair skin did not look like someone who could work in the fields.
Lan Jingbai took the scythe from his hand. “Be careful not to cut your hand. ‘
Cui Muzhi was very displeased. “You underestimate me.”
Lan Jingbai shook his head. “l have to watch over you.”
Cui Muzhi smiled and held onto his broad shoulders. ‘WI’sk tsk, are you that concerned about me?’
Lan Jingbai glanced at him. “Yes.”
He looked frank and did not mean anything else.
Cui Muzhi’s heart subconsciously skipped a beat. He laughed and took off his bamboo hat. “Haha, you’re indeed a good brother!”
Bai Wutong pointed at the rice field and said to everyone, “Let’s look around. Perhaps there will be some high-yielding plants.”
Previously, when they excavated the harvested food crops, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn, sorghum, and so on, they found some unusual high-yielding plants.
All of the seeds were collected and guarded closely. Next year, they could use these seeds to plant them on a large scale.
If they were high-yielding, the harvest would be several times better!
After Bai Wutong reminded them, everyone’s eyes instantly lit up.
At this moment, Chu Tianbao’s dark gaze landed on the face of Bai Wutong, and a mysterious expression flashed across his face.
Bai Wutong was sensitive enough to notice that and her smile suddenly disappeared.
As he studied, Chu Tianbao continuously absorbed the contents of the book, and his level of maturity grew extremely quickly.
From the first time she saw Chu Tianbao and fled with him, she had deliberately hidden the secret of her s.p.a.ce.
However , along the way in the wilderness, Bai Wutong often discovered food that someone had prepared and could often take out candy that tasted different from this world. Coupled with her abnormalities in everyday life, Chu Tianbao had probably long sensed something.
It was not surprising that he would a.s.sociate it with her strangeness when there were mutated plants in Youjia village.
However, she was certain that even if Chu Tianbao knew that she had s.p.a.ce and could conjure strange things, he would definitely not hurt her.
If Chu Tianbao didn’t ask now, she would pretend not to know. She would tell him when the time was right.
After farming for a year, Cui Shize’s skin had darkened a lot and he had a better understanding of agriculture.
He was in high spirits and reminded everyone, “Slow down and harvest. Watch carefully. Don’t mix the plants together.’
Everyone replied loudly, “Okay!”
Bai Wutong’s two acres of land were taken care of by Village Chief Zhao’s family, and Zhao Pengfei helped to harvest them.
In addition to rice, there were also fish and crabs in the rice field.
After the rice was harvested, they could also harvest a btach of fish and crabs.
Everyone entered the rice field. The chubby flower fish that they bred jumped up. The children shouted in surprise, “There’s so many fishes!”
The dark swimming fish scurried in panic. The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up. There were too few entertainment activities in the olden times. The venue was ready-made, and it was perfect for a harvest festival for fishing.
It would be interesting.
Suddenly, Zhao Pengfei shouted in surprise, “Here! Look here! The yield of rice is especially high. The rice is about to break the pole!”
Everyone rushed over when they heard the news. As expected, they saw a thicket of rice with a surprisingly high yield. Compared to the surrounding rice, it was a beauty on the level of an imperial consort.
Cui Shize excitedly held rice and raised his scythe. “I’ll do it personally.”
“Clack-I’
Cui Shize raised his hand and slashed down. The rice fell into his demonic claws.
Everyone discovered high-yielding rice plants one after another.
The 30 families of Qinghe who loved to eat rice were very happy. If all the rice could be produced as abundantly as this, they could plant a large area next year. After paying the food tax, they would not have to buy additional rice..
