Chapter 280 Horseback Riding is a Luxury Entertainment
Gu Yuexuan wrinkled her nose slightly, and in time she grabbed his restless hand, pulling it away. She said seriously, "I suddenly feel that what you said before makes a lot of sense. I really haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. It's really not right to continue like this."
"In order to defeat Tusu Minyang, overwhelm Tusu Minxu, step on Tusu Yanting, and defeat Tusu Yunxi at the dinner table, I really should rest well now."
Tu Subo's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a half-smile. Gu Yuexuan couldn't help laughing, hooked her arms around his neck, kissed him lightly on the nose, turned around and said vaguely: "Let's go to bed."
Tu Subo gently pulled the quilt over Gu Yuexuan and wrapped her up like a small spring roll. His voice was filled with a bit of intolerable gnashing of teeth: "It would be fine if I didn't bother you, but don't tease my desires again."
"If we delay our dream any further, we will all be trapped in a long wait."
Gu Yuexuan shook her shoulders slightly, then fell silent. Soon her breathing gradually became smooth and deep like a calm lake.
She was indeed exhausted. A major matter in her heart had finally been settled, and her sleep was more sound than usual.
Tu Subo confirmed that she had fallen into a sweet dream and would not get up again, so he pushed the door open and walked out carefully.
Gu Yuexuan regards the experimental field she mentioned as the foundation of her life and will not allow any mistakes.
In the blink of an eye, the harvest season is approaching. In the fields divided into different blocks, golden rice waves rise and fall one after another, and only Gu Yuexuan can distinguish the subtle differences among them.
These rice fields are not allowed to be interfered with by others. Tu Subo decided to take charge of the harvesting work himself. According to Gu Yuexuan's wishes, he carefully sorted the rice into different categories to prevent her from being unable to hold back and having to go to the fields herself and sweat profusely.
However, before the harvest, there are still many trivial matters that need to be taken care of.
Tu Subo used the silver light from the air to sort out the messy papers that Gu Yuexuan had written on casually. At the same time, he took out a pen and paper and meticulously classified and recorded the necessary items according to the details she had recorded.
After harvesting, the rice in each experimental field needs to be threshed and weighed individually. Samples must also be taken from the field to accurately measure the height, thickness of the rice plants, and the weight of a single ear of rice, in order to estimate the yield per mu of land and the amount of rice available for seeds.
In addition, the rice seeds collected from the experimental fields need to be stored separately to avoid mixing. As a result, the number of wooden barrels available at home is slightly insufficient.
Tu Subo pondered for a moment, estimated the number of experimental fields, and wrote down the need to purchase six wooden barrels for storing grain, as well as other trivial matters.
When he finished writing his densely packed notes, Tu Subo marked the pages and dates at the end and carefully stored them away. Looking at the thick stack of notes he had compiled during this period, he couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
He never got involved in this kind of proofreading and editing work.
Now, in order to reduce Gu Yuexuan's hard work to the greatest extent, he has become familiar with the job of a book boy, his skills have become more and more proficient, and he has gained a lot of experience.
Tu Subo laughed at himself a few times and put away the booklet he had sorted out properly. At this time, the noisy crowd from the winery had not yet returned.
He glanced back and saw that the dishes that Gu Yuexuan had placed in front of the main room door had already cooled down. The door panel was still tightly closed with no signs of being opened, and the room was silent.
There is no doubt that the old lady will not touch these dishes at all.
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and his tone revealed a subtle change: "Indeed."
"How can I feel comfortable enjoying something I cooked with my own hands?"
People with hidden ulterior motives see everyone as fleeting and full of suspicion.
In such a situation, even if it was done by someone else, the old lady probably wouldn't dare to pick up her chopsticks easily.
"It's a shame that such delicious food is wasted like this."
In the early morning light, after checking his grandchildren's homework, the grandfather looked at Xi Lanfang, who was carrying food to feed the chickens, and said earnestly, "Go tell Xuanxuan and the others that from now on, if no one shows up at dinner time, there's no need to leave food for anyone."
The only person in the family who could possibly do this is the old lady, so the targeting of the old grandfather's words is obvious.
Xi Lanfang hesitated for a moment, then replied with a stiff upper lip: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will remember this."
"Where's Xuanxuan? Is she out and hasn't come back yet, or hasn't she gotten up yet?"
Without waiting for Xi Lanfang to respond, the old grandfather said sternly, "Bo'er has reported this to me many times. This girl always tries to avoid taking medicine and nourishing soup. How can her body bear this in the long run?"
"Didn't she say she was going into town today? Could she be hiding in the fields again?"
"Grandfather, I didn't hide..."
Gu Yuexuan had just finished tidying up, and with a hint of embarrassment on her face, she gently touched the tip of her nose and muttered softly, "Am I not already here?"
"Are you there?" The old grandfather's eyes showed a hint of insight, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you staying here because Tu Subo is waiting here, or did you intend to stay here in the first place?"
Gu Yuexuan lowered her head deeply, pressed her cheek against the ground, and obviously didn't want to speak anymore.
The old grandfather showed no interest in her words. He turned to look at Tu Subo, who had just appeared, and instructed, "Be sure to observe carefully when you go out today, and don't be stingy with your money."
Tu Subo bowed and accepted the order respectfully.
The old grandfather continued, "Farmers have already begun harvesting the autumn crops, and the children in the village will be returning home to help. From today until a month before the harvest is finished, I will stay at home."
"Just go about your business and don't worry about the family matters."
With the old grandfather in charge of the family, everyone naturally feels more at ease.
After enjoying breakfast, Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan left the village.
Gu Yuexuan was about to mention that the mule cart that was supposed to pick her up had not arrived yet, but she heard Tu Subo lightly blow his index finger into his lips, making a crisp whistle.
As soon as the whistle fell, there was a slight movement in the bushes by the roadside, as if it was the echo of horse hooves hitting the ground.
Gu Yuexuan raised her eyebrows as she watched a black horse break into a gallop, puffing out a breath as it approached Tu Subo. She saw that Tu Subo had already firmly grasped the reins, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you two know each other?"
Tu Subo's rough hands caressed the horse's flowing mane lovingly, and he couldn't help laughing: "What do you mean we know each other?"
Gu Yuexuan suddenly felt that what she said seemed a little inappropriate, and couldn't help laughing out loud. Her gaze fell on the majestic horse, and a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in her eyes.
It's not that she was ignorant, but as a child, she rarely had the opportunity to get close to such a horse.
Tu Subo didn't rush her and waited patiently. Seeing Gu Yuexuan carefully extend her finger to touch the horse's head and then quickly retract her hand, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"Can you handle a horse?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head decisively: "Not really."
The original owner of this Gu family backyard was just a small quail with a habit of curling up her neck. In her time, horseback riding was a luxury. For those living in poverty and uncertainty, how could they have the leisure to learn such a skill?
