Chapter 179 The Child is Too Wild
The old grandfather looked at Gu Yuexuan's determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. She had been smart and kind since she was a child.
He patted Gu Yuexuan's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Since you have made up your mind, then do it. Grandfather supports you."
After saying that, the old grandfather stood up, walked to the window, looked at the lush green rice fields outside, and said with emotion: "I don't know if these rice seeds can adapt to the environment of the greenhouse, and whether it will affect the harvest."
Gu Yuexuan also walked to the window, looked at the rice fields outside, and said softly: "Grandfather, I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely find the most suitable rice seeds. However, in this process, we need to constantly communicate and observe."
The old grandfather nodded, turned and looked at Gu Yuexuan, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Then let us start from now on, observe and communicate together."
From then on, Gu Yuexuan and her grandfather began their experiments in the greenhouse. Whenever the seedlings changed, they would carefully observe and record them in detail. Their friendship grew stronger through their interactions.
One day, Gu Yuexuan looked at the seedlings and frowned: "Grandfather, these seedlings are growing a little differently. I'm worried there might be a problem."
The old grandfather also came forward, took a closer look, and comforted him, "Don't worry, this is normal. Each variety of rice has its own characteristics. We need to identify these characteristics and adjust the planting method accordingly."
Encouraged by her grandfather, Gu Yuexuan threw herself into the experiment with confidence. They worked from dawn to dusk in the greenhouse every day. As time passed, the seedlings grew, and Gu Yuexuan and her grandfather's moods grew better and better.
Gu Yuexuan rubbed her cheeks and said with a wry smile, "Grandfather, Brother Bo, I really can't do anything else. I have to trouble you to buy the rice seeds."
The old grandfather stroked his beard, looked at Gu Yuexuan kindly, and said earnestly, "Xuan'er, don't worry, I will definitely help you get this done. After all, this year's harvest is of vital importance to our family."
Tu Subo sat aside, remaining silent. His eyes showed both concern for Gu Yuexuan and respect for the old grandfather. He knew that the old grandfather's position in the family was unmatched, and as Gu Yuexuan's husband, he should learn to respect and trust him.
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo with a flicker of gratitude in her eyes. She knew that at this critical moment, Tu Subo would definitely stand by her side. She said affectionately, "Brother Bo, thank you for your support and companionship all the time. I know that with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."
Tu Subo smiled slightly and gently patted Gu Yuexuan's hand to express his comfort.
The old grandfather watched this scene with a warm heart. He knew that this family had gone through the most difficult time and that the days ahead would surely get better and better.
Over the next few days, the grandfather got busy. He first wrote to trusted people to inquire about purchasing rice seeds. Then, he personally visited nearby villages to learn about this year's planting situation.
Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo also have a clear division of labor: Gu Yuexuan takes care of the housework, while Tu Subo goes out to help with the farming. Although life is still difficult, their hearts are full of hope.
That evening, the grandfather returned home, beaming with joy. "Good news! I've contacted a reliable seller who has high-quality rice seeds. We can buy them anytime we're ready."
Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo both smiled happily upon hearing this. They knew that this meant they were one step closer to a good harvest.
Gu Yuexuan said: "Grandfather, when are we going to buy it?"
The old grandfather pondered and said, "We will set out early tomorrow morning. However, this time we will need a large amount of silver to purchase rice seeds, so you must be prepared."
Tu Subo nodded: "Grandfather, don't worry. We will prepare enough silver. As long as we can buy high-quality rice seeds, any amount of money will be worth it."
Gu Yuexuan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Bo, we must go all out and not let this year's harvest be affected."
The next morning, Gu Yuexuan, Tu Subo and the old grandfather came to the seller's village with enough silver.
The seller was a kind-looking old man. He looked at Gu Yuexuan and the others and said warmly, "Are you from the Gu family? I've heard about your story and I admire you very much. Don't worry, the rice seeds I have here are absolutely high-quality. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Gu Yuexuan and others expressed their gratitude and then began to select rice seeds.
After the selection was completed, Gu Yuexuan paid the silver. The seller personally packed the rice seeds and handed them to them: "Here, take these. These are high-quality rice seeds that I hand-picked. They will definitely bring you a good harvest."
Gu Yuexuan and others were very grateful. They said goodbye to the seller and returned home with the rice seeds.
After returning home, Gu Yuexuan and others immediately got busy. They first soaked the rice seeds in water, and then carefully cared for them, looking forward to the day of harvest.
Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan finished their day's work and returned home, carrying their hoes. The setting sun cast a shadow over the courtyard, making everything seem peaceful. However, as they entered, they noticed something unusual. Several children gathered in the yard. Younger brother Tu Su Minxu and younger sister Tu Su Yunxi cried incessantly, tears streaming down their faces. Xi Lanfang and the others looked troubled and anxious.
Tu Subo's heart tightened. He quickly walked up to the children and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tu Su Minxu sobbed and said, "Brother, we...we were playing in the mountains and accidentally fell down. My little sister's leg was injured."
Tu Subo looked at the wound on his sister Yunxi's leg and felt heartbroken. He turned to look at Gu Yuexuan, who also looked worried. Gu Yuexuan gently patted Tu Subo's shoulder, indicating that he should comfort the children first.
At this time, the old lady sat behind the threshold, sneered, and said sarcastically: "Oh, isn't this the result of the children's wild temper outside? They just cry when they get home."
Tu Subo frowned and said seriously, "Grandma, the children are just playing, why are they so wild? They are injured, we should care for them, not be sarcastic."
The old lady's eyes widened and she said dissatisfiedly, "Are you talking back to your elders? I told you, when you were little, I told you not to let your children be too wild, but you just didn't listen. Now look, this is the consequence."
Tu Subo said seriously, "Grandma, times are changing, and children need to grow up freely. We can no longer restrain them with old ideas. Moreover, when children are hurt, we should care more."
Xi Lanfang stepped forward and tried to lighten the mood. "Alright, everyone, stop talking. The most important thing right now is to take good care of the children. I'll go get the medicine. Bo'er, you take the children back to the house first."
Tu Subo nodded, picked up his sister Yunxi, and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, brother is here, and he will definitely heal your leg." Yunxi tightly grasped Tu Subo's clothes and cried softly.
