Chapter 134: Creating Conditions Without Conditions
Gu Yuexuan didn't delve into it further, but instead felt secretly relieved.
For someone who suspects they have a cold, sweating is a sign of improvement.
She took out the thickest cotton-padded jacket from the box and covered Tu Subo's face with it: "Wear this today. Don't go out in the wind. Just stay at home and rest."
Tu Subo was born with great firepower, and he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he had a strong physique. He had never tried such heavy clothing before.
He tugged at the thick cotton-padded jacket, his smile a little forced: "Xuanxuan, actually I..."
"How are you?"
Gu Yuexuan said with a slightly unhappy tone: "Why are you always so stubborn?"
"I have important matters to attend to today. I don't have time to listen to your stubborn opinions. Just do as I say!"
Tu Subo wanted to explain, but it turned out to be a futile cover-up.
He took a deep breath and said nothing more, but before Gu Yuexuan left, he couldn't help but gently hook her fingers.
"Xuanxuan."
"you……"
"I'm not feeling well and I'm bored as hell being alone in the house. Can you come back early to keep me company after you're done?"
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking as if he would fall down at any moment while speaking, his head leaning weakly against Gu Yuexuan's waist.
Finally, he simply rested his chin on her abdomen and looked up at her from below, his eyes full of dependence and tenderness.
"Come back early to accompany me."
Gu Yuexuan ruthlessly pushed his face away, a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth: "That depends on when I'm done."
"Didn't you insist on not seeing a doctor or taking medicine? Then just rest well on your own."
Gu Yuexuan turned around and left, leaving Tu Subo alone on the bed.
Tu Subo pricked up his ears and listened, confirming that Gu Yuexuan had left, then he immediately broke free from the weight of the thick quilt.
"call……"
It's so hot that it's almost suffocating!
He fanned himself a few times with his hands, and caught sight of three charcoal braziers in the room. He could not bear it any longer, so he hurriedly opened the window and stuck his head out.
A cold wind blew in his face, and Tu Subo, who almost fell ill due to overheating, finally felt a little cool, as if he was reborn.
When Xi Lanfang saw him come out, she asked with a concern that was hard to conceal, "Is it really necessary to see a doctor?"
Tu Subo smiled calmly, his eyes revealing his habitual composure. "In previous years, during the cold winter, I even went out of my way to swim in the river. Mother, don't you know that very well?"
Xi Lanfang hesitated for a moment, and the needle and thread in her hand paused for a moment, thinking that it was indeed so.
Although the winter in Kyoto is not as bitterly cold as that in Fangling, Tu Subo, as a warrior who still wears light clothes even on snowy days, naturally does not care about such weather.
Tu Subo stretched his muscles and turned to ask, "How are your morning review going?"
Tu Suminyang cautiously poked his head out, his large, distinctly black and white eyes flickering with obvious hesitation: "Brother, are we going to practice martial arts today too?"
"Why don't you practice?"
Tu Su Yanting poked her head out curiously and said, "Sister-in-law said that brother is not feeling well and needs to recuperate in the house, and asked us not to disturb him."
Tu Subo's expression became empty for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I'm fine, come out."
The three children were skeptical at first, but after some rigorous training, they finally became convinced that what Tu Subo said was true.
He really has no problem at all!
After suffering for a while, the three children went to their mothers with sad faces to complain. Tu Subo rubbed his wrist lightly and was about to pick up something when he suddenly stopped.
"mother."
Xi Lanfang raised her head: "What's wrong?"
"When Grandpa and the others left, did they mention when they would be back?"
Xi Lanfang was a little surprised by his question and hesitated for a moment: "It seems that he mentioned that he would be back in the evening. My third aunt and I will bring him lunch. Why are you asking this?"
Tu Subo responded softly without explaining, saying, "Then I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. You don't need to wake me up before dinner."
Xi Lanfang had originally wanted to persuade him to go back to the house to rest, but when he heard this, he immediately nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Tu Subo gently closed the door and fastened the inner buckle. Then he roughly estimated the time in his mind, decisively changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, gently pushed open the window, and quietly climbed over the wall from the backyard.
The dark figure quickly disappeared into the snowy night, and no one knew where it went.
At the same time, Gu Yuexuan, who was working hard in the field, couldn't help but sneeze.
Aunt Wu, who had been listening for a long time, came forward with concern and sighed softly, "Xuanxuan, if you keep going like this, the cost of growing some food will be too high."
The main frame of the greenhouse is made of wood and bamboo, which are ubiquitous in the mountains and cost nothing.
However, the multiple layers of oilcloth covering the bamboo frame and the tung oil used to secure the straw were all items that required silver.
In the daily life of the village, the villagers have long been accustomed to looking up at the sky to decide their meals and farming according to the changes of seasons.
For them, the only expense of farming was hard work and seeds. However, when Gu Yuexuan proposed such an unprecedented lavish investment, everyone who listened couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath.
Gu Yuexuan chuckled and replied, "The cost is indeed a bit higher, but if we don't do this, the effect will naturally be difficult to achieve."
"Auntie, imagine the difference between harvesting only one crop a year and harvesting two. If we can double our yield with this technology, the cost we invest today will be fully recovered by next year."
“Two seasons a year?”
Aunt Wu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Oh, otherwise why would I say you are a little confused?"
"We're frozen and snowy here for six months straight, and we rely entirely on our stored food. How can we possibly have two good harvests?"
She has been working in the soil for half her life, and her only hope is the annual harvest of grain. She has never heard of any family being able to grow two crops.
Gu Yuexuan didn't mind being teased. She brushed the dirt off her hands and said calmly, "It's not enough to just rely on the right time, but no one can predict the future."
Since the timing is not favorable, try to create conditions.
She firmly believed that this method was worth a try.
but……
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but touch her nose again, looked in the direction of home, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Things here seem to be going smoothly, but I don’t know if the stubborn donkey at home is being properly taken care of.
The stubborn donkey, who was being worried about him, sneezed without any warning, frowned slightly, and then looked up at the door of the gambling house which was bustling with people.
Ruyi Casino was bustling with people, and various gambling tables were scattered around in an orderly manner. The gamblers were gambling with red faces and bulging veins. The crowd watching around them was also excited and their eyes were bloodshot.
The air was thick with the strong smell of dry tobacco, the lingering odor of alcohol, and the peculiar smell of those who hadn't bathed for a long time. All of this mixed together, irritating the nose and making people feel drowsy. Tu Subo's eyebrows twisted into a silent wrinkle.
