Chapter 103 Barren Land
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"It's nothing. We'll just farm. We'll just take it as an opportunity to experience the lives of ordinary people."
Jun Moye felt guilty when he heard this. He had previously thought that as long as the exile was over, she would not be wronged again, but now she had to continue to live a hard life.
"I'm sorry for wronging you, Chuchu."
Su Hanchu smiled and comforted him when he heard this.
"What's wrong with that? Most people in this world make a living by farming. If everyone feels that farming is unfair, who would still farm? And what would everyone eat?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye held her hand and spoke.
"But you are the daughter of the general's family. When have you ever suffered such injustice? You have gone through a lot on this journey."
Su Hanchu smiled, patted his hands and spoke.
"Are you stupid? You're the Prince of Qin, aren't you? And what's wrong with being the daughter of a general? Didn't she grow up eating whole grains? She has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and two ears. There's nothing special about her. Besides, as long as my husband and I work together, even if it's just farming, we can definitely lead a good life with this family."
Jun Moye looked at the smile on her face, and especially when he heard the words that husband and wife work together, the sadness in his heart dissipated.
"Okay, we as husband and wife will work together to lead everyone to a good life."
A smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Su Hanchu rarely saw him smile, so she reached out and pinched his face and pulled it.
"Jun Moye, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more in the future and don't have a stern face all day long."
Jun Moye smiled again deliberately when he heard that.
"Okay, I'll smile at Chuchu more often in the future, but I'll only smile for Chuchu to see."
Su Hanchu also smiled when he heard this.
"Speaking of farming, our family seems to have been allocated quite a bit of land. Even though we have a large population, the rice we grow should be enough for us to eat. We can also raise fish in the rice fields. Let me tell you, rice fish is delicious."
I have heard of this fish and eaten it before, but this is the first time I have heard of rice fish.
"Rice fish?"
Su Hanchu looked at his puzzled expression and explained with a smile.
"After we plant the rice, we buy some fish fry and put them in the paddy fields. The fish will eat the insects in the paddy fields or the rice flowers floating on the water.
The fish's excrement then becomes nutrients for the rice, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the fish and the rice. The fish are then raised into rice fish, which are also very delicious."
It was the first time that Jun Moye heard that fish could be raised in this way.
"Chuchu is the smartest girl in the world. Okay, let's do as you say. After dinner, we'll go check out our paddy fields first, and then our dry land. After a couple of days of rest, you can stay home with Mohua and the others to play, and I'll take everyone to work on the land."
Su Hanchu listened to his arrangements and knew that he felt sorry for her work, and she couldn't help feeling happy.
"You will spoil me like this. I want to go with you too. Although Mo Hua and the others are children, the youngest is already five or six years old. I just need to cook for them. The rest of the time they can play by themselves. But tomorrow I want to find the head of the village first and have our house built first.
Even if officials come to spy on us, we can't live a life of luxury, but we can't live in a place where it rains heavily outside and lightly inside. Besides, I don't know how my parents are doing."
Jun Moye naturally knew that she would be worried about the Su family.
"Tomorrow morning, after we find the village head, we will go to the next village to see if my father-in-law and mother-in-law have been settled. Originally, our two families were separated and lived in different villages.
First, to avoid attracting attention, and second, because we don't know the situation in the village well, and we're afraid that if we were all together, we might run into a bad village head and get into trouble. We should observe and stabilize for a while, and then we can build the house and take the Su family over."
The two were chatting when Ping'er and Chuntao came in with food.
"Sir, the young lady's meal is ready."
Jun Moye moved a small box onto the kang. Since he had not had time to buy furniture, he could only put the food on the box and eat.
After Ping'er and Chuntao put down the food.
Su Hanchu also asked them to go eat next door.
After dinner, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye took everyone to the village head's house. Because they couldn't find the exact location of their land, they needed to ask Aunt Zhao to help lead the way.
Of course, he didn't go there empty-handed, but took a bag of pastries from the space.
Arrived at the headman's house.
Everyone else was waiting not far away, only Su Hanchu and Jun Moye went to knock on the door.
"Aunt Zhao, are you home?"
Soon a young woman opened the door. Su Hanchu recognized her as Aunt Zhao's daughter-in-law at a glance and spoke with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, is Aunt Zhao home? We want her to take us to see the land and fields we were allocated, but we can't find the way."
Seeing Su Hanchu’s smiling face, the woman also smiled and spoke warmly.
"You are Miss Su who came yesterday, right? My name is Liu Rong. My mother-in-law went back to visit her parents today, but my father-in-law and my husband are at home. I called you, come in and sit down first."
He then made way for Su Hanchu and his wife to enter and shouted into the house.
"Dad, Zhao Shun, Sister Su and the others are here."
The village head and Zhao Shun came out of the house.
Jun Moye stepped forward to say hello.
"Uncle Zhao, Brother Zhao."
The head of the village looked much better today than yesterday.
"Why are you here?"
Jun Moye spoke hurriedly.
"Uncle Zhao, this is what happened. We're new here, and we can't find our own plot of land after it was divided. We'd like to ask Uncle Zhao to help show us the way."
The village head spoke upon hearing this.
"Then sit down and have a cup of hot tea."
Then he gestured to Liu Rong to make tea.
Su Hanchu hurriedly spoke with a smile.
"Uncle Zhao, let's not drink tea anymore. If it's convenient for you, Uncle Zhao, let's go now. Our whole family wants to go and take a look, and everyone is still waiting outside."
The village head nodded slightly when he heard this and gave Zhao Shun some advice.
"You guys stay home with the kids. When it's almost time, remember to cook and wait for your mom. I'll go with them."
Liu Rong spoke up upon hearing this.
"Yes, don't worry, Dad. We know."
The village head then spoke to Jun Moye and his wife.
"Let's go, I'll show you the fields."
Su Hanchu hurriedly stuffed the pastry in his hand into Liu Rong's hand.
"Sister-in-law, this is for the child."
Liu Rong hurriedly wanted to refuse.
"You can't do that, Sister Su. You can't give things to the child every time you come. That's not good..."
Su Hanchu stuffed the pastries into her arms.
"Don't be polite, sister-in-law. It's not something valuable. I just want to feed the child. Take it quickly. I have to go to the field in a hurry."
Then he walked out quickly.
Seeing her jogging, Jun Moye let her walk in front of him.
He spoke to Liu Rong who was catching up with him.
"Sister-in-law, don't refuse. This is just for the child."
Liu Rong didn't want to argue with a man, so she had to speak while holding the pastries.
"Then don't do this next time. When you have time, let Sister Su come to your house to play, or if you need any help, just ask."
Jun Moye nodded upon hearing this.
"Sister-in-law, I think you should call her Madam Jun or Madam Jun."
Liu Rong laughed when she heard this. It seemed that this young man from the Jun family cared about his wife very much and even cared about a name.
"Okay, okay, I get it. From now on, I'll call her Madam Jun."
Jun Moye nodded in satisfaction, took two quick steps, caught up with Su Hanchu, took her hand in his, and followed the headman's footsteps side by side with him.
They walked to a nearby place and met up with Ping'er and others. A large group of people followed the village head towards the wasteland in the east.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived.
The first thing you see is a desolate scene, with withered and yellow weeds growing everywhere, and there are also many stones of different sizes, as well as some trees and shrubs that are growing tenaciously and unwilling to be outdone. It makes people feel cold at the sight of it...
The village head spoke.
"This is it. If you cultivate this area, it will be more than ten acres. However, there is no spring here, and there is no spring nearby. After you cultivate it, you have to bring the spring water down from the mountain."
