Chapter 128 Planting potatoes, Xiao Jingrui's heartache



So from this perspective, planting potatoes and sweet potatoes is actually the best choice.

But eating too much sweet potato will cause heartburn, so it’s best to take out potatoes now.

Xiao Jingrui nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then tomorrow our whole family will go out and plant potatoes together."

Yun Ruoxi: "You and Jingxuan should stay at the new house and keep an eye on the progress of the construction. The nine brothers are enough to take care of the construction site. Besides, you forgot that we have modern equipment. As long as we keep an eye on the surroundings, without anyone around, the planting will be done in less than two days."

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely get it done tomorrow."

Yun Ruoxi smiled, took out the tablet from the space, and started watching the drama.

What she watched the most during this period was costume dramas, mainly to learn the techniques of palace fighting and house fighting.

She always felt that it would be useful in the future, so she decided to learn it first.

Yun Ruoxi was half leaning on the bed, watching the drama intently. Xiao Jingrui did not disturb her, but went out to wash up. When he came back, he sat directly on the bed, hugged Yun Ruoxi in his arms, and the two of them watched the drama together.

Yun Ruoxi is the type who is quite obsessed with watching TV series and can't stop once she starts.

In the end, they were so sleepy that they couldn't stand it anymore and their tablet was out of battery, so they put it aside to charge. Only then did Xiao Jingrui have the chance to hug Yun Ruoxi and sleep together.

When they woke up the next day, Xiao Jingrui got up first and went to the field to explain things. Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue slept until noon as usual.

After her two best friends woke up, she hurriedly washed up, and now with the help of a maid to comb her hair, Yun Ruoxi felt that her hair was no longer messy.

The two of them walked towards the fields with their respective maids, and they were still fully armed when they went out.

The straw hat and the neck fan made it very cool. Even the two maids, Wenshu and Wenhua, were dressed the same way.

When everyone arrived at the fields, they happened to see the nine brothers of the Wei family plowing the soil. When they arrived, they saw that at least seven acres of land had been plowed.

Yun Ruoxi took out potato seeds from the space and distributed some to each of the nine brothers of the Wei family.

Everyone has a storage ring, so it doesn’t matter if you put the potato seeds directly in the storage ring.

Yun Ruoxi took out a lot of the remaining potatoes and placed them next to the roots of the ground, and asked everyone to plant the potato seeds first.

Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue would not stand aside and watch people working in the fields just because of their noble status.

After all, there was still so much work to do, so Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue rolled up their sleeves and started planting potatoes in the already turned over soil.

During their exile, they had watched countless videos on farming, so they all knew how to grow potatoes.

This was something that had been planned in advance, but it could only be implemented after arriving in Taohua Village.

The two maids, Wenshu and Wenhua, followed behind and studied seriously. The lady had gone to the fields, and there was no reason for the two maids to just stand by and watch.

Planting potatoes was relatively easy, and the two little maids learned quickly.

But she was the slowest among the four women. When Wei Da saw this, he turned over ten acres of the 35 acres of land first.

Then they turned back and started helping to plant potatoes. With the help of the nine brothers, the speed of planting potatoes was indeed much faster.

It's only been a whole morning and I've only planted three acres. It seems I have to come earlier in the afternoon, otherwise it will take a lot of time just to plant on these lands.

It was not until lunchtime that the sun became too scorching, and Yun Ruoxi led everyone back.

But when I got home, the maid had already prepared the meal.

Yun Ruoxi was extremely grateful that while she was busy, she had hired a servant at home so that there was someone to cook.

Xiao Jingrui was originally worried about farming, so during the lunch break, he did not stay at the new house, but went back home.

Seeing that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had sweat on their foreheads and their clothes were stained with a lot of dirt, I knew that they must have been working in the fields.

He walked quickly to Yun Ruoxi's side, his tone filled with worry, "Madam, are you working in the fields? Don't you have servants at home? How can you still work in the fields?"

As he spoke, he took Yun Ruoxi's hand and looked at it carefully.

As a result, Yun Ruoxi's originally delicate hands were scratched in several places, and even her previously round and plump nails now had some dirt in them.

After reading it, Xiao Jingrui felt even more distressed.

Yun Ruoxi chuckled, "It's okay, we're all doing what we can. Besides, this little bit of work isn't too tiring. We're going to live in the countryside in the future, so isn't farm work normal?"

Xiao Jingrui looked at Yun Ruoxi deeply, without saying much, but turned around to fetch water.

He found a basin of water and added some hot water that the maid had just boiled into it.

Xiao Jingrui gently took Yun Ruoxi's hand, soaked it lightly in the basin of water, and washed it bit by bit, even leaving out the dirt under the fingernails.

He looked serious, as if treating some rare treasure. "Madam, you are not allowed to work in the fields from now on. Ever since you married me, you have always been the one who gave. Our Xiao family has accepted too much. Now that we have settled in Taohua Village, leave the rest to me. Madam, don't worry about anything, just enjoy yourself."

Yun Ruoxi originally wanted to say something else, but when she saw Xiao Jingrui raise his head, her eyes were full of heartache.

She swallowed the words she wanted to say, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Xiao Jingrui: "Once the new house is built, we can hire more guards and servants. There are many people who can do the work. If that doesn't work, we can also hire farmhands from the village. I will never let my wife do the work."

Yun Ruoxi could feel that Xiao Jingrui was really distressed, and he was very gentle when washing her hands.

The maids and servants in the house all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at him. They were extremely well-behaved.

The moment Mu Ruxue saw Xiao Jingrui holding Yun Ruoxi's hand, she secretly ran back to her room.

However, Mu Ruxue was also genuinely happy for her best friend.

Isn't it fate that these two best friends were able to find such a good partner after traveling through time?

Finally, when it was time for lunch, everyone ate in their own rooms.

Xiao Jingrui served Yun Ruoxi lunch and hurried back to the new house without taking a nap.

After what happened in the morning, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue did not go to the fields to work in the afternoon. Instead, they took out parasols and chairs, sat in a cool place, and watched others work.

The two maids also went down to work for a while, and then sat down to rest for a while. There was no forcing.

However, the nine brothers of the Wei family were adept at doing farm work. After all, they were used to doing it in the village, and they did it very quickly.
