Chapter 292 The Harvest Season Officially Arrives
Tu Subo felt his scalp tingling and his heart was exhausted. He took off his coat and leaped over Gu Yuexuan like a tiger descending from a mountain. He pressed her down and gently bit the tender skin on her face with his teeth. His tone was full of relief for having survived a disaster: "You are really my lucky star..."
"If it weren't for you, my mother would probably scold me all night..."
Gu Yuexuan tried to turn over, but Tu Subo held her down tightly, preventing her from moving. She simply stared at his gloomy face and asked softly, "Do you ever regret standing up for yourself?"
"In fact, if you hadn't stood up, maybe this wouldn't have happened..."
"But Mother and Third Aunt will definitely not agree. They will raise various concerns, and Second Aunt's already wavering mind will only be further shaken by their persuasion."
"Xuanxuan, my mother has a gentle personality, and Third Aunt has three older brothers to rely on. It's not surprising that they couldn't take this step. Second Aunt's determination, while unexpected, is truly admirable in my opinion."
If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, then his ears, which were worn out tonight, will be rewarded.
Gu Yuexuan understood clearly that Tu Subo's move was nothing more than an attempt to put some necessary pressure on Xi Lanfang so that she wouldn't feel too awkward when she first tried to enter the business world and thus develop strong resistance.
After a moment's silence, Gu Yuexuan finally couldn't suppress her doubts. She gently pushed away Tu Subo's motionless head resting on her shoulder and asked with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Have you never felt that doing business is a lowly profession?"
"If the Tu Su family's affairs can be brought to light and their reputation restored in the future, as a dignified prince, aren't you worried that others will feel ashamed when they mention that your wife is doing this job?"
Tu Subo smiled slightly upon hearing this, then he opened his mouth and gently bit her restless little hands. He closed his eyes tightly and said firmly, "What's there to be ashamed of? Anyone who dares to make such a reckless comment will be left with a mouthful of broken teeth."
He changed the subject and continued, "What could those short-sighted, foolish, and ignorant people possibly understand? Don't worry. Once the shop opens, all you have to do is sit behind the counter, using the abacus to count the incoming money. As for serving tea and water, and shouting about the hawking, I'll naturally take care of it."
"If you don't dislike me and don't think I'm embarrassing you, I'll be happy for half the night when I get home. Why would I care about those boring gossips..."
Tu Subo was clearly exhausted. As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled sideways and gently pulled Gu Yuexuan into his arms. He held her always-warm hands and gently placed them on his firm belly. He then closed his eyes and whispered, "Go to sleep... When you wake up, I promise everything will be taken care of..."
"I've already promised you... I'll definitely be able to handle everything..."
Gu Yuexuan gazed at Tu Subo's peaceful sleeping face, a gentle smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, she found a comfortable position, and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.
Now that he had made his promise, she no longer worried about it.
Having him around always makes people feel at ease no matter what.
At dawn the next day, after receiving the message from Tu Subo, Tu Su Minfei immediately drove a gorgeously decorated carriage to the door of Tu Su's house.
Tu Su Minfei was very happy about this arrangement, and a gentle smile filled his face.
When Yu's eyes met Tu Su Min Fei's, the anxiety that had long accumulated in her heart seemed to be blown away by a breeze. She gently patted his collar, which was slightly wrinkled by the wind, and said in a hoarse but gentle voice: "Min Fei, I often wonder, when Min Yang grows up, will he think that as his mother, I am too unconventional because of the gossip of others?"
Tu Suminfei raised one eyebrow slightly and answered confidently: "That kid would never dare."
"If he dares to say anything that displeases Mother, I will beat him with a stick until his legs break."
Yu was amused by his sudden bluntness and rudeness and chuckled. She scoffed, "Where did you learn this behavior? How come every time you open your mouth, you always make people laugh so hard?"
Tu Suminfei glanced at Tu Subo, who was holding a sickle and preparing to go to the fields to harvest rice. There was a hint of teasing in his eyes, but he said quietly: "This is what my elder brother taught me."
Tu Subo raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, called her "Second Aunt" lightly, then turned and left silently.
Yu gently twisted Tu Su Minfei's arm, her eyes full of warning: "Don't joke with your elder brother."
"This time, everything depends entirely on the help of your eldest brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise, do you think everything would have gone so smoothly?!"
Tu Suminfei gasped in pain and surrendered with a helpless look on his face. But when he saw Gu Yuexuan led out by Tu Subo himself, the smile on his face became more sincere, at least it no longer carried the hint of sarcasm and disdain that he had when facing Tu Subo.
Gu Yuexuan didn't notice the subtle changes in the air, and continued to carefully instruct Tu Subo: "Remember, when harvesting, you must distinguish clearly and place each mark properly. I plan to save the rice in those experimental fields for seeds, and..."
"Don't forget to weigh the harvested rice individually to ensure the numbers are correct. Once it's transported to the threshing floor, it must also be sorted and placed accordingly to ensure there is no chance of any confusion."
Tu Subo put the sun hat on Gu Yuexuan's head, rubbed her ears gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have memorized it all and I promise there will be no mistakes."
"Okay, when you come back, I promise you'll see results that will satisfy you. How about that?"
Gu Yuexuan gently touched the tip of her nose, pondered for a moment, and realized she had nothing more to say. She suppressed the urge to explore the experimental fields and carefully helped Yu board the carriage.
Tu Subo was carrying the organized farm tools in his hands, his eyes drifting towards Tu Su Minfei, while Tu Su Minfei was holding the reins tightly. He nodded slightly and said nothing.
The wheels rolled forward. Tu Subo looked back at his grandfather, who was gazing at Tu Suminyang and the others reciting. He said, "Grandfather, I plan to go work in the fields."
The old grandfather just waved his hand, his brows full of sorrow, his eyes fixed on the stuttering Tu Su Minyang: "Please repeat what I taught you yesterday. What exactly did it mean?!"
"Say it again!"
Tu Su Yanting and others have passed the assessment. They looked at Tu Su Minyang with sympathy. The faces of the three young people revealed the sadness that Tu Su Minyang could not express.
Tu Subo chuckled, shook his head, picked up a steamed bun, put it in his mouth, and walked out of the house in the morning light.
Three days ago, the Tu Su family's fields officially entered harvest season. Following Gu Yuexuan's suggestion, Tu Subo recruited eighty workers from Yuanqian Village and surrounding villages to assist with the rice harvest.
