The handwriting is still a bit immature, but it has clearly improved compared to before.
"Chuan Chuan, your handwriting is getting better and better. You are truly a good son of your mother."
Yan Chuan was also pulled over by Su Luo to sit next to her.
The three women were enjoying the pleasure of having their parents around them, but Yan Chuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face vanished.
"Mother, did Uncle Nangong go with you to Anchangzhou this time?"
Su Luo didn't intend to hide it from the two children, and nodded.
"Yes! He went too, because of business matters."
Yan Chuan's handsome brows immediately furrowed; he was very worried that his mother would be taken away by Uncle Nangong.
Uncle Nangong always looked at his mother with a strange expression, and he disliked it very much.
"Mother, do you like it...?"
Yan Chuan stopped speaking halfway through his sentence and did not continue.
What do you like?
Yan Chuan felt he shouldn't have asked that question, so he changed his answer.
"I wanted to ask you, Mother, do you have a crush on anyone?"
Su Luo looked at her son. How could he ask such a question at such a young age? Or was he afraid that he liked someone else?
Is she afraid that someone else will steal her affection for him, and she feels insecure?
"Yes, my favorite man is my Chuan Chuan."
Yan Chuan was stunned. Of course he knew that his mother liked him, but did his mother really have no feelings for Uncle Nangong?
"Brother, what is the opposite sex?"
Yi Huan didn't understand, and had never heard Master Xie say such a thing.
"Little sister, you're still young, don't ask so many questions."
Yi Huan hated her brother's behavior. He was only born a year earlier than her, yet he always said she was younger.
Having not seen the two little ones for so many days, Su Luo really missed them.
Steward Shi also reported to Su Luo on the expenses of the past few days and the situation of Shuiqing Manor.
"Madam Su, the fields in Shuiqing Village have already been plowed. The rapeseed oilseeds are not yet ripe. We'll plow them again after the rapeseed is harvested."
With Butler Shi at home, Su Luo felt very at ease.
"Okay, where are the rice seedlings? Is the rice for seed ready?"
"Everything is ready. You said you would start cultivating the seedlings after you returned, so I have already had the cultivation sheds set up. We are just waiting for your instructions."
Great, it's almost April, the rice seedlings should be cultivated by now.
"You'll come with me to Shuiqing Village tomorrow, and we'll start working on it then."
"Yes, Madam Su."
Seeing that they were still talking, Zhao Ruyun went to the kitchen to help bring the dishes up.
Although Chunhua and Qiuyue didn't want Zhao Ruyun to do anything, she still couldn't stay idle and did some things she could do herself.
"Luo Luo, stop busy and come eat first."
After calling Su Luo, Zhao Ruyun beckoned Yan Chuan and Yi Huan over.
"Chuan Chuan, Huan Huan, your mother is tired, don't keep leaning on her."
Of the two children, only Yi Huan rested her head on Su Luo's shoulder, while Yan Chuan simply sat close to Su Luo.
“It’s alright, Mother-in-law, I’m not tired. Let them sit here with me.”
After finishing the meal, Su Luo gave a gift to everyone in the family.
This plant-based soap is from her online space. There are still a lot left, so I thought I'd give some to them.
Whether you use it for bathing or washing clothes, it will smell wonderful.
"Lady Su, what is this?"
Xie Wanwan had never seen such a blocky, square object before, and it even emitted a fresh plant fragrance.
"This is soap. It can be used for cleaning and can also be used for bathing."
Qiuyue also picked up a plant-based soap and looked at it from all angles.
“Madam, how come I didn’t know you bought this soap in Anchangzhou?”
"There are many things you don't know."
This is something from her personal space; no one but her knows about it.
Su Luo returned to her room. She didn't like having anyone serve her personally, so she dismissed Chunhua and Qiuyue.
She read some more books about this era, especially the law, which she needed to understand thoroughly.
However, most laws are similar, and understanding them will make her business dealings easier in the future.
After blowing out the lamp, Su Luo went into her spatial dimension, where she had stored some rice. She would also tidy up the land whenever she had free time.
Space doesn't discriminate by season; as long as she has time, she can plant whatever she wants.
She prepares a dry plot of land with farm tools, then simply scatters the soaked dry rice on it and waits for the rice to grow to a foot tall.
Then transplant the seedlings to dry land, planting one or two seedlings at a time to allow them to absorb nutrients better.
After doing all that, she took out the hidden dart and put some more poisoned needles inside.
Having been in this world for almost a year, Su Luo hadn't touched any of her old firearms in a long time.
The space wasn't large, but it was her portable arsenal. She took out a pistol and loaded it with bullets at lightning speed.
After calculating the speed, Su Luo shook her head.
"It's been a long time since I've used it, and I've definitely gotten rusty."
The bullets here, apart from some that she picked up in the apocalypse, were all made by herself.
If you increase the amount of gunpowder, the power will be even greater than the one she found.
Check all the firearms to prevent any accidents.
After tidying up the space, Su Luo came out, covered herself with the blanket, and got a good night's sleep.
...
The next day, after having breakfast with Zhao Ruyun and the others, Su Luo set off for Shuiqing Manor with Butler Shi.
Currently, Shuiqingzhuang is managed by Li Yongchang and Zhao Chunlan, along with Zhang Xiujuan and her husband.
The remaining few people were hired by Steward Shi on short notice to plow the fields. In addition to watching over the fields, they also had to feed ten cows.
Even cow dung needs to be carefully monitored, as it is the best fertilizer for crops.
“Miss Su, look over here. This shed is where we cultivate rice seedlings.”
Su Luo looked at the shed that the housekeeper was pointing to. It was surrounded by discarded wooden planks, and there was a layer of last year's straw inside.
From the inside, it looks like a thatched hut, with a very large shed.
Inside, there were many shelves, and near the entrance, there was an iron pot with its rim parallel to the ground.
This pot is used to control the temperature in the seedling shed.
If it's too cold at night, put water in the pot.
A stove was dug under the pot, so that a fire could be lit from the outside to raise the temperature of the seedling shed using steam.
Humidity and temperature are combined to ensure the survival rate of seedlings.
"Madam Su, we've done everything as you instructed. Is there anything else we need to change?"
“You’ve done a great job. Even the planks on the shelf are covered with fine sand and cow dung and made very smooth.”
Su Luo had only mentioned this seedling cultivation method to Butler Shi once, and she didn't expect him to understand it so well.
"Shi Shuang came over last night and asked your uncle and the others to soak the rice. Shall we sow the seeds now?"
"Yes, tell them all to come and get the seeds, and then they can plow the fields."
"yes!"
Steward Shi went out and called over Li Yongchang and the others who were plowing the field.
