Chapter 15: The son of a wealthy family 15: He became a fan of his adoptive mother...

Seeing his son's anxious look, Shen Qian felt a little amused. Why did this child suddenly become so active? It was as if he was afraid that he would not be allowed to work.

"Okay, the seeds are already soaked. Help me get these two hoes and we'll go to the field."

Chen Qian gave the order, and took two shovels, a bamboo basket and other tools, and took Fu Yuanbo to the land behind the house.

The land is not very big, it is square, there are some weeds along the edge of the land, but not many, the soil looks loose and moist, and the color is dark.

Chen Qian has been to many worlds, and this kind of fertile land is her favorite.

Before officially going to work, Shen Qian handed Fu Yuanbo a pair of gloves: "Put them on. Your hands are not fully healed yet. Be careful not to rub them. If you feel any pain, stop at any time."

Fu Yuanbo obediently took the gloves and put them on.

Then Shen Qian said, "Today's task is to turn the soil and weed. I will demonstrate with a shovel and you can follow me."

Shen Qian picked up the shovel, inserted it into the ground skillfully, stepped on the shovel handle with his foot, and pried it hard to turn over a piece of soil. "Just turn it over like this, piece by piece. Once the soil is loosened, the weeds can be removed."

Fu Yuanbo watched for a while and found it easy, so he followed suit and started turning the soil.

It’s just that some things seem easy, but once you do them you realize how difficult they are.

Fu Yuanbo's foot didn't push hard enough, and the shovel only dug a shallow layer. He frowned and stepped on it again. This time, it finally went deeper, but the soil he turned up didn't form clumps, but instead spread all over the ground.

He silently watched the progress of his foster mother. Her movements were skillful and although she didn't seem to be doing many flips each time, they were very rhythmic.

Fu Yuanbo's stern face tightened. He didn't want to fall behind, so he became a little anxious, but he couldn't find his own rhythm.

Chen Qian glanced back and came over to help Fu Yuanbo adjust his posture. "Keep your feet firmly planted, press your center of gravity down, and insert the shovel tip deeper, otherwise the soil won't turn over."

Fu Yuanbo did it several times and finally turned over a complete piece of soil.

After getting the hang of it, Fu Yuanbo became motivated and turned the ground over and over again, feeling that he was much faster than before. But when he looked up, he found that his adoptive mother was more than twice as fast as him.

"So fast!" Fu Yuanbo couldn't help but mutter.

"You'll get faster if you practice more." Shen Qian heard his complaints and said, "I had to work in the fields when I was a kid, and I did a lot of work. If I was slow, I wouldn't have anything to eat."

Fu Yuanbo: "...but you never took me to do farm work when I was a kid."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "How old were you then? You were not even as tall as the corn stalks when you stood in the field. Besides, farm work is so tiring, I couldn't bear to do it."

Although the person who really interacted with Fu Yuanbo when he was a child was the original body, what Shen Qian said was not wrong. She also received the original body's memories and knew that although the original body sent Fu Yuanbo back to the Fu family after learning that he was not her child, she had truly loved the child before that.

She had to help with farm work since she was young and take care of her younger brother after school. Later, because her family was poor, she had to drop out of school and go to the city to work.

After having her son Ogasa, she felt that her life had hope. She always felt that she did not want her son to suffer the same pain she had endured in her childhood, so she was reluctant to let her young son work.

To Fu Yuanbo's ears, these words sounded like spring thunder.

Today he was getting along with two mothers at the same time, and he felt more and more that compared to the wealthy Fu family, he preferred to stay with his adoptive mother who lived in poverty.

Although he had been separated from his adoptive mother for ten years, he did not feel any obstacles in getting back together. He even couldn't help but imagine that if he could live with his adoptive mother again after the recording of the show was over... How great that would be!

Fu Yuanbo had a little idea in his mind, but he didn't stop his hands at all. Instead, he put more effort in the hope that he could do more work and help his adoptive mother share more of the burden.

[Wow, Shen's mother's live broadcast room looks so comfortable! The process of working is so stress-relieving and comfortable! ]

[Yes, in fact, the guests from other groups also worked, but it always felt messy and unprofessional. This soil turning action is amazing! ]

[Fu Yuanbo is also very good. The wound on his hand may not have fully healed, but he is still working so hard! ]

[Don't you think that Fu Yuanbo is much more natural when doing farm work now than he was with Fang's mother this morning? ]

[Yeah, yeah, that look of unwillingness to surpass her mother is so cute! ]

[A face lover says that if you have a good-looking face, you can still look handsome even when working in the fields! ]

After working for a while, Shen Qian also realized that Fu Yuanbo was working hard to improve the progress. He went to the edge of the field to get a thermos cup and handed it to him: "Take a break and drink some water. We have made good progress today, so there is no need to rush."

Fu Yuanbo was reluctant to stop, but after working for a while his forehead was covered with sweat, so he took the thermos and started drinking.

"What kind of tea is this?"

The tea tastes a little bitter at first, but has a refreshing grassy aftertaste, and even a bit of sweetness after the bitterness.

"This is the tea I made from the dandelions I picked with you yesterday. It can clear away heat and detoxify. You can drink it."

Chen Qian took Fu Yuanbo's pulse yesterday and learned that in addition to spleen deficiency and heavy dampness, he also had liver fire due to staying up late for a long time. Drinking some dandelion tea can reduce liver fire and is good for his body.

Fu Yuanbo took a few big gulps and soon finished the glass of water.

"I'll continue." Fu Yuanbo handed the cup back to Chen Qian and continued to work.

Shen Qian: "Wait."

She took off Fu Yuanbo's gloves and looked at his hands carefully.

The place where I applied medicine to the blister the day before yesterday is almost healed now, but it is still a little red. It must have been accidentally rubbed while I was working today.

Shen Qian took out the ointment from his pocket, reapplied it to his hand, wrapped it with gauze, and put gloves on him again.

"Okay, you better be more careful when you work later, don't rub the wound again, okay?"

"oh."

With his adoptive mother's instructions, Fu Yuanbo was no longer so anxious. He turned the soil over and over with a shovel. Of course, his speed and efficiency were still not as good as his adoptive mother's, but the two of them worked together and finally turned the soil over.

Fu Yuanbo was extremely tired and sat down by the field to rest.

While his son was resting, Shen Qian evenly spread the organic fertilizer provided by the program team on the freshly turned land.

When Fu Yuanbo finished drinking the water, his foster mother had already started the next step: digging the ditch.

He couldn't sit still, so he quickly went over to learn.

"The purpose of digging ditches is to deal with the problem of poor drainage in the subsequent frequent rainfall. If there is a drought, the ditches will also facilitate irrigation, and water can flow along the ditches to irrigate every piece of land."

Fu Yuanbo understood, but he was still a little confused: "Do we have to finish all the work today? Can't we leave it for tomorrow?"

Shen Qian said, "It's best to finish it as soon as possible. If we don't dig trenches in time after turning the soil, if it rains or the temperature changes, the soil will easily clump together. Then we will need more energy to loosen the soil later."

The work in the fields is closely linked to each other, and only those who have experience in farming can understand the ins and outs of it.

[Wow, I really like listening to Mother Shen’s explanation. I understand it all at once! ]

[If you like to listen, talk more! Bring a small stool and listen to the class obediently! ]

[Mother Shen not only has a standard working posture, but also knows a lot! ]

[Personally, I think this is more attractive than tea that costs millions per pound!]

[Oh, the two mothers have different life experiences, so why should we compare them?]

After Shen Qian's explanation, Fu Yuanbo understood it, and without saying a word, he followed his adoptive mother and continued to dig the ditch.

"Is this okay?" Fu Yuanbo asked after digging a distance with a hoe.

Just as Chen Qian was about to speak out a reminder, two people came from afar on the ridge of the field. They were Uncle Luo and another uncle.

"Xiao Fu, your ditch is not good!" Uncle Luo had a loud voice and started shouting from a distance.

Fu Yuanbo: "Hmm?"

Uncle Luo approached and said, "The drainage ditch you dug is crooked and of varying depths. Water won't flow smoothly, and your crops will suffer. Come, let me help you."

"Xiao Jiang, do you have a rope with you?"

Next to Grandpa Luo is his nephew. Recently, every household is busy with spring plowing and always carries some tools with them.

“Yes, yes.”

Xiao Jiang took out the rope and the stick. Uncle Luo smiled and said, "You are amazing. You have everything you need."

The two men helped Fu Yuanbo tie the rope to a wooden stick, and then stuck the stick into the ground, thus marking the spot with the rope.

Shen Qian's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. She had experience and knew how to use the hoe properly. The ditch she dug was of the same width and depth. But for Fu Yuanbo, who had no experience in farm work, it would be a little difficult to dig a ditch.

On the one hand, Grandpa Luo's mark reminds Fu Yuanbo that he needs to dig in a straight line without any deviation. On the other hand, it also reminds him that the width and depth of the digging must also be consistent.

Fu Yuanbo understood it at a glance and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Luo."

The two of them watched for a while. Uncle Luo actually wanted to help, but he stood on the edge of the field with his hands behind his back, watching Fu Yuanbo working hard. He chuckled twice and called his nephew away.

"Young people nowadays are still pretty good."

After an afternoon of hard work, Shen Qian and his son completed the preparations for spring plowing on the land.

Fu Yuanbo was so tired that he almost collapsed, but his adoptive mother seemed to be used to doing these farm work. She packed up her things and was about to go back.

He hurried forward, snatched the various farm tools from her hands, took them home in one breath, and put the farm tools back into the warehouse.

He knew that she must feel tired too, but no one had helped her or taken care of her before, so she was used to working hard.

No one is born to work. The more Fu Yuanbo thought about it, the more he wanted to do more for her.

[Wow, after reading this, my opinion of Fu Yuanbo has really changed! ]

I used to think he might be a rich kid who never had to do housework, but I never thought he'd actually be willing to do anything!

[Yes, yes. At the beginning of the show, I was a bit fond of the bad guy and had a bad impression of him. Now he still likes the bad guy, but he looks much more pleasing to the eye than before!]

【Passersby were completely captivated! 】

[I don't think I'm a fan of Fu Yuanbo... I think I'm a fan of his adoptive mother! ]
