Chapter 154: Just an analogy
"Xuanxuan, why are you doing this?" Tu Subo couldn't help but speak.
Gu Yuexuan looked up at him, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes: "I'm helping you, and myself as well. The spring plowing season is the busy farming season. Only when we work together as husband and wife can this land bear abundant fruits."
Tu Subo felt warmed at the thought, but still a little worried: "But, your body..."
Gu Yuexuan smiled lightly, waved the whip, and drove the cattle forward: "Don't worry, I have been working in the fields with my father since I was a child. This little bit of hardship is nothing."
The two chatted about family matters while plowing the land. Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan's hardworking figure and felt a surge of respect in his heart.
"Bo'er, look at that piece of land over there. What should we plant this year?" Gu Yuexuan said, pointing to a piece of land in the distance.
Tu Subo looked in the direction she pointed and thought for a moment: "The soil over there is good. We can plant some wheat and beans to ensure a good harvest this year."
Gu Yuexuan nodded in agreement. "Well, that's settled. Bo, did you often farm with your grandfather when you were a child?"
Tu Subo showed a nostalgic look: "Yes, I was still a child at that time, and I often followed my grandfather, watching him plowing the land. My grandfather taught me a lot of farming knowledge and made me understand the preciousness of land."
Gu Yuexuan smiled and asked, "Are you also full of confidence now? Do you think you can cultivate this land well?"
Tu Subo smiled confidently: "Of course, with my grandfather's teachings and your help, I believe we can manage this land better."
As they were talking, the two of them had already finished plowing most of the field.
Gu Yuexuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Tu Subo: "Bo'er, take a rest. I'll get you some water."
Tu Subo shook his head: "No, I can still hold on. Xuanxuan, let's go over there and see if there's anything that needs repairing."
Gu Yuexuan nodded, and the two walked towards another field together. On the way, Gu Yuexuan asked Tu Subo with concern: "Bo'er, are you really okay? You looked a little unwell just now."
Tu Subo smiled and squeezed her hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest for a while."
When they reached the edge of the field, Gu Yuexuan discovered that a patch of land had collapsed, so she said to Tu Subo, "Bo'er, there seems to be something wrong here. We need to fix it."
Tu Subo observed it carefully and nodded: "Yes, this place needs to be filled."
The sun shone through the sparse clouds onto Gu Yuexuan's face. Sweat trickled down her forehead, but her eyes were filled with determination and joy. Tu Subo looked at her and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a hint of a smile.
"What are you doing? This is a man's job." Tu Subo said with a smile.
Gu Yuexuan straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Tu Subo with a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Who says women are inferior to men? I want to prove it to you."
Tu Subo smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy. He coughed to cover it up and said, "Okay, you're right. But you can't tire yourself out."
Gu Yuexuan glared at him, but a smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
The two chatted while continuing to plow the fields. At this time, other villagers from Yuanqian Village also came to the fields one after another, looking at Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo, and started talking about it.
"Look, this young lady from the Tusu family is so brave that she dares to plow the fields with men."
"Yes, and Tu Subo was not to be outdone and actually agreed."
When Gu Yuexuan heard these discussions, she couldn't help but look at Tu Subo with some pride, but found that he was frowning, as if enduring something.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Yuexuan asked with concern.
Tu Subo shook his head and forced a smile, "Nothing, just a little tired."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes widened, and her tone became more serious: "Tired? What's your attitude? Just now you said you wanted to help plow the fields, and make up for your sins with your merits."
Tu Subo smiled bitterly: "I really want to help, but I didn't expect plowing the fields to be so tiring."
Gu Yuexuan looked at him, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she still said firmly: "It's okay, we will work together. If you are tired, take a rest for a while, I will help you."
Tu Subo looked at her with emotion and nodded.
So, Gu Yuexuan took the plow from Tu Subo and continued to walk forward. The sunlight shone on her, as if she was covered with a layer of sacred light.
…
After hearing what Tu Subo said, Gu Yuexuan and the old grandfather looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces froze. Tu Subo didn't notice the change in the atmosphere and continued to talk to himself, "I'm telling the truth. At that time, the old grandfather looked like a pig scratching for food in the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze in an instant, and a complex emotion surged in Tu Suting's heart. He looked at Tu Subo, then at his grandfather and Gu Yuexuan, but he never spoke.
The grandfather's face turned grim. He glared at Tu Subo, a flicker of anger in his eyes. But he was old after all, and unwilling to argue with a younger man, he just said coldly: "Tu Subo, your metaphor is too extreme."
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but interrupt: "Tu Subo, do you know what you are saying? That's our grandfather, how can you say that to him?"
After hearing this, Tu Subo laughed and said nonchalantly, "I was just making an analogy. Why do you take it so seriously?"
At this time, Tu Suting couldn't help but speak: "Tu Subo, your words are indeed a bit too much. Even if you are joking, you should be more careful."
Tu Subo glanced at Tu Suting, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The old grandfather sighed deeply, shook his head, turned around and walked into the house. Gu Yuexuan followed him in, leaving Tu Subo and Tu Suting standing in the yard.
Tu Suting looked at Tu Subo, and his heart became more and more complicated.
"Tu Subo, you should apologize to your grandfather." Tu Suting said in a serious tone.
Tu Subo curled his lips after hearing this: "I was just making an analogy, what is there to apologize for?"
Tu Suting frowned, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, so he could only sigh secretly.
Gu Yuexuan came out, looked at Tu Subo, and asked softly: "Tu Subo, you should know where your mistake is."
Tu Subo turned his head and looked at Gu Yuexuan, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Gu Yuexuan continued, "The family's honor is the responsibility of each of us. You cannot damage it because of your personality. You should apologize to your grandfather. This is your responsibility as a younger generation."
Tu Subo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "You are right, I will apologize to my grandfather."
Gu Yuexuan looked at him and smiled: "That's right, this is the responsible Tu Subo I know."
