Su Qinghe had never done farm work before, and the hoe looked extremely clumsy in her hands.
She nearly dug her own foot with a single stroke of her hoe, and Lin Xi watched in horror.
"My lady...why don't I do it?"
"No need, I'm just not skilled yet. You'll be too busy to handle it once I get the hang of it!"
Su Qinghe stubbornly refused to admit it, and with her second stroke of the hoe, she chopped the sweet potato in half.
She glanced around nervously, and seeing that the foreman wasn't looking her way, she pretended to wipe the mud off her shoes and pressed the broken sweet potato back into the ground, stomping her feet twice as if she wasn't sure.
Lin Xi understood his wife's immoral behavior, but he couldn't agree with it, since she wasn't his type.
Although she damaged a few, just as Su Qinghe said, she quickly mastered how to use the hoe.
She continued digging, engrossed in her task, while Lin Xi frantically began tidying up the row of sweet potatoes behind Su Qinghe. By the time Su Qinghe remembered to check on her husband, she could only see a tiny black dot behind him.
She slapped her thigh in frustration. She'd been so careless! She'd just been thinking about giving her husband a good life, and now she'd completely forgotten about him.
She dropped the hoe and bent down to pick up the row of sweet potatoes, but as soon as her hand touched the stems and leaves, the sweet potatoes vanished from her sight.
"Um?"
Su Qinghe stood there dumbfounded. Where was her huge sweet potato?
She suspiciously reached for the leaf next to her, but it disappeared again! Su Qinghe frowned, and, not believing it, touched another one, but got the same result.
What happened...?
Just as Su Qinghe was deep in thought, her vision suddenly blurred, and when her vision cleared again, she was no longer in front of the sweet potato field.
What came into view was a large tree, about three meters tall and as thick as two people could hug, and the three sweet potatoes from earlier were neatly arranged at the base of the tree.
"This is... a fruit-bearing tree?"
Seeing the long, narrow fruits on the tree, Su Qinghe was a little unsure. She had never seen the Pregnant Fruit in person, but the original owner of the body had an impression of it in her memories.
White, elongated fruits are a sign that the fruit is not yet ripe in the early stages of fruit development. Once ripe, the quality can be distinguished by its color.
Inferior-grade pregnant fruits are usually silvery-white, medium-grade pregnant fruits are pale yellow, and superior-grade pregnant fruits are golden.
Su Qinghe looked at the tree, then at the surrounding environment. Before her eyes was a vast grassland, boundless and endless. Apart from the large tree in front of her, it was all grass, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Su Qinghe looked at the pregnant fruit on the tree. She counted them and found that there were five white fruits on the tree, all of which were still unripe.
If this tree can continue to produce fertile fruit, wouldn't she be rich?
Because the annual yield of pregnant fruit is limited and high-quality fruit is scarce, ordinary people can only afford to buy inferior pregnant fruit even if they pay for it themselves.
A low-grade pregnancy result in a low chance of conceiving, while a medium-grade pregnancy result in a very high chance.
In the common understanding, as long as one eats a moderately fertile fruit, even if one does not result in pregnancy, the second one will definitely result in pregnancy.
People like Lin Xi are one in a million.
The most precious and superior pregnancy fruit is meant for women to eat. If a woman eats it, she may become pregnant even if the man does not eat the pregnancy fruit.
However, the yield of superior-grade pregnant fruits is very small, and they are basically all in the hands of the royal family or large families, and ordinary people have no access to them at all.
So... this tree uses sweet potatoes as nutrients?
Su Qinghe wasn't surprised that she suddenly had a space with a pregnant fruit tree growing inside.
After all, if someone has already been reborn, it wouldn't be surprising if something else bizarre happened.
Now that she has a fruit-bearing tree, the day when she can earn money for retirement and retire early is not far off!
Su Qinghe thought to herself.
After exiting the space, Su Qinghe no longer touched the sweet potatoes directly with her hands, but instead took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered her hands.
She touched the sweet potato again, and this time it wasn't sucked in. It seems that as long as there's no direct skin contact, it's fine.
Su Qinghe wrapped her hands in a handkerchief, grabbed a few bunches of sweet potatoes, and hurried towards Lin Xi's place. She had to go help her husband.
Suddenly, everything went dark. Lin Xi looked up in confusion and saw Su Qinghe. He quickly said, somewhat embarrassed:
“My lady, I’ll be done in a little while. You don’t need to stop and wait for me.”
"Sorry! I was so focused that I forgot about you for a moment. Get up and rest for a while, and leave the rest to me."
"My lady, I'm not tired."
Lin Xi had been squatting for a while, and his calves were already numb. He knew that his wife was worried about him, but he didn't want to get up. This was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to spend more time with his wife.
Su Qinghe picked up the sweet potato and shook it to remove most of the dirt. She then carefully cleaned the parts that couldn't be shaken off, and finally removed the stems and leaves, leaving only the sweet potato in the basket.
Seeing that Lin Xi was still working, she said helplessly:
"Squatting for too long is bad for your back. If your back gets bad... what good is it if your wife has a good back?"
Su Qinghe drew out her words and made an exaggerated expression of distress.
"Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to conceive."
Lin Xi seemed to have thought of something, and her ears instantly turned red.
He hurriedly tried to stand up, but because he had been squatting for so long, he couldn't get any strength in his legs and waist. He was halfway up when he stumbled and was about to fall forward.
"careful!"
Su Qinghe was already squatting in front of him. When she saw him rushing towards her, she didn't have time to get up. She could only quickly move her body forward. After he rushed over, she directly pulled him into her arms.
"My wife..."
Lin Xi was being held by Su Qinghe, and he felt an itch on his waist, where his wife's hand was placed.
"How could you be so careless? What if you hurt your back? How are you going to get through the night, my wife?"
Su Qinghe leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and whispered a threat, while gently massaging his waist with her large hand. Her little Xi's waist was so slender!
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again..."
Her voice was so soft it was barely audible; she wouldn't hear a person unless they were speaking right next to her ear.
Lin Xi's face was now completely red, like a ripe shrimp. What was his wife even saying?! How embarrassing!
He shifted uncomfortably, feeling his wife's hand on his waist was unusually hot.
"Cough cough!"
A cough broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
When Lin Xi saw someone coming, she quickly got off Su Qinghe.
The person who came was Li Miao, Aunt Li's youngest daughter.
"Um... my mother told me to deliver water to the villagers, and we're just missing your share."
Li Miao probably knew she had disturbed the young couple's happy time. She stood there awkwardly on the field embankment, looking around but not at Su Qinghe.
She didn't want to either. She wasn't even 18 yet, and she wasn't married. This was so embarrassing for her, a minor and a single woman!
But just now I saw the two of them arguing here. She went around and delivered water to the people around her and came back, but they still hadn't finished arguing.
She's still young, she doesn't want to eat dog food, which has no nutritional value!
"Thank you so much, young lady, for making this trip!"
Su Qinghe took the water bottle from Li Miao, unscrewed it, and handed it to Lin Xi, whose head was almost buried in her chest.
