General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming-Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Good Luck

Su Xiaoxiao bought some bean pods and fennel at the market. She originally wanted to buy some hot sauce, but after thinking about it, she felt she could go home and make it herself.

When she passed by the old woman’s work stall, the old woman called out to her with a dark expression, “Aren’t you buying dried plums today?”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, “I bought a basket last time. It can last for a long time.”

The old woman gritted her teeth. For the thousandth time, she regretted selling it so cheaply.

But other than her, no one else bought it.

The old woman gritted her teeth. “I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price!”

Hence, Su Xiaoxiao only spent 50 copper coins to buy another large basket of dried plums.

When they reached home, it was already past lunchtime. The three little ones were so hungry that they were howling. Father Su had cooked, but it was too disgusting.

The three little ones stuck their heads into the rice jar and did not eat the dark dishes made by Daddy Su.

Old Father Su did not eat it either.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook while Su Ergou helped her.

When she came out, Su Xiaoxiao saw Father Su sitting in the backyard with a log.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and looked at his hand. “Your hand is injured. Didn’t I tell you not to use your right hand anymore?”

Father Su smiled and said, “It won’t take much effort. I know what to do. Take it easy!”

“What did you make?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Father Su sighed and said, “I’ve been busy with outside matters these past two days and neglected the family. You’ve worked hard. Your uncle and aunt came to visit, and my son-in-law also told me about it. I’ve made a walking stick for my son-in-law. It’ll be convenient for him to move in the future.”

Wait.

It seemed to be the case from the beginning. Why did it suddenly change from her being wronged to making a walking stick for Wei Ting?

How did his mind make that leap?

“Dad! Sister! The food is ready! You can eat now!”

Su Ergou barked.

“Let’s go eat.” Father Su placed the half-made walking stick aside and brought his chubby daughter into the central room.

Wei Ting had already been helped out by Su Ergou to sit down.

Su Xiaoxiao rejected the idea that someone could bask in her glory even while lying down.

However, when she thought of how she had suffocated him this morning, she silently endured it.

She quietly looked at Wei Ting, who was opposite her. Wei Ting slowly picked up his bowl and chopsticks, his expression unchanged.

It was as if nothing awkward had happened. Very good, everyone chose to feign amnesia together.

“Eh, daughter, what dish is this?” Father Su looked at the unfamiliar dish on the table. It looked like pork belly, but it was different from her usual cooking.

“It’s braised pork with preserved vegetables,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “It’s made of pork belly.”

She had planned to cook this dish yesterday, but Father Su hadn’t returned, so Su Xiaoxiao left it for today.

Coincidentally, she bought bean pods today.

“It’s not spicy, right?” Father Su asked.

“It’s not spicy,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Hearing that it was not spicy, Father Su picked up a piece for the three little ones. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

The three of them used their chopsticks to poke at the meat. Wei Ting frowned.

Father Su said to his son-in-law, “This is how children learn to eat. You have to let them do it themselves.”

Wei Ting thought about how before he came to the Su family, the three little brats had indeed been fed by others. After coming here, although they ate miserably, they did it themselves.

Moreover, their appetites had increased a lot.

The braised pork with preserved vegetables was very tender, it was fatty, but not greasy. It melted with a sip. The taste of the preserved vegetables was stewed in it, and the preserved vegetables soaked in gravy and bean paste had a different oily flavor.

The three little ones ate until their mouths were oily.

Wei Ting usually did not like greasy things, but he could not help but eat a few pieces.

The family ate their fill.

Su Ergou and the three little ones lay on the chair to rest their stomachs.

Father Su sighed. “Daughter, have you realized that ever since our son-in-law came to our house, our family’s days have improved a lot? In the past, we didn’t see meat twice in a month, but recently, we can eat meat every meal.”

Was that Wei Ting’s credit? It was hers! She had transmigrated!

Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she glanced at him coldly.

...Sleeping with him once was not enough. It would take at least two times to recover her losses!

Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was about to explode from anger, and smiled. He said to Su Cheng, “Dad is right. I bring good luck to my wife.”

Su Xiaoxiao tore the bamboo leaves!

Three times!

In the afternoon, Su Cheng continued to make a walking stick for Wei Ting while Su Ergou took care of the children.

Su Xiaoxiao went to her own field.

What she said in front of Father Su was that when Wei Ting recovered, she would let Wei Ting farm. That was just a saying. Wei Ting would leave after recovering.

It was December now. After being here for so long, she had almost figured out the climate here.

Xinghua Town was located in the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, slightly north. The four seasons were clear, and it would snow in winter. It was not as cold as the north.

“Oh, it’s somewhat similar to the climate in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my previous life. What crops are suitable for planting in this climate?”

There was a hierarchy of knowledge and specialization. In her previous life, she had become independent early and learned culinary skills. However, she was really ignorant about farming.

“Wait, let’s not worry about whether I know how to plant it or not. I seem to have forgotten where my home is.”

Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of the field in a daze, doubting her life like a lost little fat penguin.

“Y-Yaya?”

A bewildered voice came from behind.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around. It was Old Li and his wife, Madam Qian.

The two of them, one carrying a hoe and the other carrying a basket, were probably here to work in the field.

“Grandpa Li, Auntie Qian,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

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

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head. “I want to go to my family’s land to take a look. I’ve forgotten where it is.”

Old Li was amused by her silly look. “I’ll bring you there.”

Madam Qian seemed to want to stop him, but Old Li had already led Su Xiaoxiao forward. She could only accept her fate and follow.

“This is your land.”

Old Li pointed at an overgrown field.

The Su family’s two acres of land had been deserted for many years and was no longer in good shape. Logically speaking, if the land was ruined like this, it would be taken back by the village.

However, who would dare to take the land of the Su family’s three tyrants?

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

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I want to plant some vegetables so that I don’t have to go to town to buy vegetables in the future.”

Old Li said, “What do you want to eat? Come to my house to pick it.”

Madam Qian glared at her man!

Fatty Su could eat so much. If she were to pluck it, all the leaves in the ground would be gone!

“I still have to plant the land too,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Old Li said, “The land is so desolate that you have to replant it. Moreover, even if you plant it now, it will take a few months to harvest.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Then I’ll go to your house to pick vegetables first. I can also see what vegetables there are.”

Old Li said, “What do you want to plant? I’ll give you the seeds and seedlings. If you don’t know how to plant them, let your Auntie Qian teach you.”

Madam Qian turned her face away. She would not teach Fat Lass Su how to farm!
