Chapter 22 Lin Xi is full of tension
Wang Xingxiong patted his chest and said, "Brother, I am not good at studying, and you are not good at farming. Do you know what this thing is called?"
Wang Xing'an had almost never worked in the fields in his life, so he had no idea what this was and shook his head.
Wang Xingxiong took the bucket from him, opened the lid, and poured it into Lin Xi's paddy field. "This thing is called a leaf roller. Don't underestimate its small size. It can cause great harm to rice. One bucket of it can ruin an acre of field."
Countless tiny insects that could not be seen clearly in the dark night were shaken off and fell into Linxi's paddy fields.
A night passed.
Lin Xi cleaned the house during the day. I have to say that since he hired someone to renovate it last time, the house has become much more comfortable to live in.
"By the way," Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan and suddenly asked, "You were the one who told Gu Songtao about Wang Xing'an, right?"
Xiao Yongyan did not comment, "Since he did this, he must bear the consequences."
"Really?" Lin Xi joked, "You really didn't intend to take revenge?"
Xiao Yongyan once again recalled Wang Xing'an's accusations against Lin Xi, and said righteously, "Of course not."
Lin Xi felt that he was overthinking. When Xiao Yongyan was in the capital, everyone who saw him would praise him as a gentleman. How could he do such a thing to take revenge for personal gain?
…
Paddy fields in Linxi.
The system's nutrient solution has been mixed. Looking at the four bottles that are only the size of oral liquid, Lin Xi can't help but doubt the effect of this thing.
As if sensing the host's distrust of itself, the system began to explain itself.
[Please rest assured that this product is a highly concentrated nutrient solution, and a small dose can fully exert its effect. 】
With a half-believing and half-doubting mood, Lin Xi poured a bottle of nutrient solution into each acre of field and turned away.
Before she even noticed, all the weeds and leaf rollers in the rice field died with a crackling sound, and the seedlings looked even greener.
A few days later, Wang Xingxiong ran to Linxi's paddy fields to check on the situation, but after looking around, he found that there was no problem at all and the seedlings were all quite healthy.
Wang Xingxiong couldn't figure it out, but couldn't find the reason, so he could only go home in confusion.
…
With the help of Lin Xi, the Wu family decided to officially take over the steamed bun business today.
Today is the first day to go to the market to sell goods, and Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan are accompanying us all the way.
At the beginning, Wu Erniu was somewhat embarrassed and couldn't let herself go.
But under Lin Xi's guidance, he gradually let go of himself and finally started selling his goods on the street openly.
Seeing that their situation was back on track, Lin Xi went to Songtao Academy with Xiao Yongyan.
Gu Songtao was very excited to see Xiao Yongyan coming. The Tongsheng examination was coming up soon and he had invited him several times. This time, Xiao Yongyan finally agreed to stay in the academy for a few days to help the students review.
When the students at the academy heard that Mr. Shuer would stay longer this time, they were all very excited.
Unfortunately, the teacher said that no one could enter Mr. Shuer’s residence without permission, and any questions could only be discussed in class.
It’s not that Xiao Yongyan wanted to be mysterious on purpose, it’s just that his identity is somewhat sensitive and should not be exposed to the public.
Gu Songtao specially prepared a small courtyard for them and assigned someone to guard the door to ensure that no students would enter at will.
But this also means that Lin Xi has to be alone with Xiao Yongyan for some time.
Although they also rested in the same room at home, the bed at home was made very large. Although it was said to be a bed, in fact, one more person could be squeezed in between the two of them, as if there was a Chu River and Han River separating them.
But in the academy, Gu Songtao would not prepare two beds for the couple, so Lin Xi could only sleep in one bed with Xiao Yongyan.
During the day, Lin Xi walked around the town and bought a lot of things.
In the evening, Xiao Yongyan finished his lecture and washed up.
The couple was in the same room and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ahem," Xiao Yongyan spoke first, "Madam, it's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Lin Xi was also a little embarrassed as she packed up the things she bought during the day. "Oh, I'll be busy for a while and then I'll take a rest."
That being said, Lin Xi didn't know how to face the idea of sleeping in the same bed with Xiao Yongyan.
After all, they were already husband and wife, there was no need to be pretentious about this matter, and it wasn't in her style either.
But Lin Xi, who had never been in love in her two lifetimes, found it difficult to adapt to sharing a bed with a man.
Then, under the candlelight, Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi's busy back, and recalled what he had done during this period, and said, "I know that I have been busy with my own things during this period and have neglected you a little."
Lin Xi quickly shook his head in denial, "You have ambition and talent, so of course you should do something."
Hearing Lin Xi's praise for him, Xiao Yongyan felt very happy, "Don't be busy now, I will help you sort it out tomorrow."
Ever since I came to Taoli Village, I have seen Lin Xi busying around and he has almost no free time.
Although he earned some money for his family by teaching at the academy, Xiao Yongyan still felt that he was not doing enough, and most of the expenses were still borne by Lin Xi.
"No need. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Today's work must be finished today." Lin Xi worked harder to organize.
Xiao Yongyan's eyes darkened. He walked to Lin Xi's side and suddenly grabbed her arm. "Xi'er, are you hiding from me?"
Ever since he moved in here, he clearly felt that something was wrong with Lin Xi, as if he was intentionally avoiding him.
Lin Xi, who was being held captive, didn't know what to do for a moment. He pulled himself together and shook his head, saying, "Why would I hide from you? I just have too much to do. Don't overthink it."
"No," Xiao Yongyan pulled Lin Xi over and forced her to face him, "You are clearly hiding from me, don't think I can't see it."
Lin Xi had no choice but to look into Xiao Yongyan's eyes.
"I'm your wife, how could I hide from you? I'm just a little busy." Lin Xi said so, but her eyes were flickering and it was hard to be convincing.
"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan looked at her steadily, "I won't let you suffer so much in the future. I have already discussed with the old housekeeper and opened a primary school in the town."
Lin Xi was quite surprised. She thought that Xiao Yongyan's plan to become a teacher would be shelved, but she didn't expect that he was still thinking about this matter.
"But if the school is opened in the town, then we..." Lin Xi thought they would live in the town from now on.
"We still live in the village. Exiles cannot move around freely. If the government finds out that we moved to the town without permission, it will be very troublesome." Xiao Yongyan explained.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If they moved to the town, what would happen to the family’s fields? Wouldn’t the house she had just renovated be wasted?
"It's getting late, let's go to bed." Xiao Yongyan pulled Lin Xi to bed without saying anything.
Lin Xi didn't expect that she was distracted for a moment and was seized by Xiao Yongyan and taken to the bed.
