Chapter 177: Greenhouse Technology is Mature
Gu Yuexuan blinked silently. Tu Subo suddenly withdrew his gaze, glanced down at the jade pendant on his chest, and said in a serious tone, "Gu Yuexuan."
"If ever I show you even the slightest disrespect, you can take the dagger I gave you and slit my throat."
"Even if you want to take my life, I will not resist."
Gu Yuexuan had never expected that a casual remark would provoke such a strong reaction from him. She opened her mouth slightly in confusion, but found that her throat was blocked with words that she couldn't say.
Gu Yuexuan covered her mouth, lowered her head, and didn't speak for a long time. Under the old willow tree in Yuanqian Village, a gentle breeze blew, and there was silence. Gu Yuexuan's face flushed, and she looked a little embarrassed. Tu Subo sat on a stone bench, looking at her calmly.
"Gu Yuexuan, was what you just said too much?" Tu Subo asked calmly.
Gu Yuexuan raised her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and was about to explain, but she heard Tu Subo say again: "However, I forgive you. However, you must stand still until I allow you to leave."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes widened, clearly not expecting Tu Subo to propose such a punishment. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but laugh. That laughter was like a spring breeze blowing across the water, bringing joy to her heart.
"Okay, I'll stand still." Gu Yuexuan agreed with a smile.
Tu Subo couldn't help but laugh at her happy smile. He smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
"Gu Yuexuan, do you know why you spoke out of turn just now?" Tu Subo asked.
Gu Yuexuan frowned. She had indeed said something wrong just now, but she didn't know the specific reason.
"I think it's because you're too nervous." Tu Subo said gently, "In our village, we value proper behavior, especially in front of elders. You should pay more attention to this in the future."
Gu Yuexuan nodded. She knew Tu Subo was doing this for her own good. She looked at Tu Subo and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Thank you. I know I didn't do well just now, and I will correct it next time." Gu Yuexuan said sincerely.
Tu Subo smiled. He looked at Gu Yuexuan and felt even more satisfied.
Today is another day of plowing. As dawn breaks, the villagers of the ancient Yuanqian Village have already risen, preparing to begin their day's work. Standing at the edge of her own field, Gu Yuexuan gazes at the familiar yellow earth, a wave of emotion welling up in her heart. She has rented a plow and oxen, and is waiting for her husband, Tu Subo, to join her in the hard work.
Tu Subo opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw Gu Yuexuan standing at the edge of the field. He walked over. He patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Madam, we have to work hard together today!"
Gu Yuexuan looked back and smiled, her eyes full of tenderness: "I know, Su Bo, let's work hard together!"
After that, the two of them arrived at the edge of the field. Tu Subo skillfully put on the yoke, and the old ox walked to the plow, lowering its head to breathe. Gu Yuexuan picked up the whip and gently whipped the ox's back to encourage it to start working.
"Su Bo, look at this cow, it's so hardworking! But I also feel sorry for it, it works so hard." Gu Yuexuan looked at the old ox with a frown.
Tu Subo smiled and said, "Madam, the cow is our helper, so we should treat it well. However, it also knows that as long as we work hard, we can have a good harvest."
Gu Yuexuan nodded, and the two began to work. Tu Subo drove the ox forward, turning the soil with the plow in his hand, while Gu Yuexuan followed behind, picking up stones and leveling the land.
"Su Bo, look at these stones, they are really troublesome." Gu Yuexuan frowned, picked up a stone and threw it aside.
"Yes, ma'am, but we are patient. If we pick them up one by one, we will eventually finish picking them up." Tu Subo said, his face full of sweat.
Gu Yuexuan looked at him distressedly and said, "Su Bo, you've worked hard. Let's take a break."
Tu Subo shook his head and said, "Madam, now is not the time to rest. We must seize the time and strive to finish plowing the land as soon as possible."
In this way, the two of them worked until noon. Gu Yuexuan looked at the plowed land, her heart filled with joy. She walked over to Tu Subo, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Su Bo, we are really amazing. We have plowed so much land."
Tu Subo smiled, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Madam, this is all due to our efforts. We must keep working hard."
Gu Yuexuan looked at him, her eyes full of concern: "Su Bo, you are too tired, let's take a break."
Tu Subo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. The two walked to the big tree at the edge of the field, sat on the grass, drank water, and rested for a while.
Gu Yuexuan bent over and entered the greenhouse. The sunlight shone through the film onto her face, illuminating the joy in her eyes. She gently stroked the leaves of the seedlings, carefully observing the growth of each one.
Inside the greenhouse, the old grandfather sat on a bamboo chair, holding a worn record book in his hand, concentrating on recording the growth data of the crops. Hearing Gu Yuexuan's footsteps, he looked up, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
"Grandpa, look, these seedlings are growing much better than expected!" Gu Yuexuan said excitedly, pointing to the rows of green seedlings.
The old grandfather put down his pen, slowly stood up, and walked over to Gu Yuexuan. He carefully observed the seedlings, his brows slightly relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Well, that's really good. This shows that our greenhouse technology is becoming more and more mature." The old grandfather said, patting Gu Yuexuan's shoulder gently.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes flashed with pride. She smiled and asked, "Grandfather, when you were little, did you ever imagine that our greenhouse would develop to this point today?"
The old grandfather shook his head and recalled, "When I was a child, the land in front of the yard was barren. Back then, we had to rely on the weather for our livelihood, and the harvest depended entirely on luck. Who would have thought that we would have such advanced greenhouse technology now, allowing crops to thrive even in the snowy winter."
Gu Yuexuan nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, these are the results of your and father's hard work. Our current life is inseparable from your wisdom and dedication."
The old grandfather smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's not true. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. However, I am indeed very happy to see these seedlings growing so well."
As they talked, they walked slowly along the aisle of the greenhouse. Gu Yuexuan would occasionally point out some particularly well-growing seedlings to the old grandfather, and the old grandfather would occasionally agree, his face always filled with smiles.
The old grandfather looked up at the sky and couldn't help but think of what Gu Yuexuan had said before. He looked at the blue sky and seemed to see the bright eyes of his grandson's wife. At that time, Gu Yuexuan looked at the seedlings in the shed and said happily: "Grandpa, these seedlings are growing so well, faster than in previous years."
