Chapter 100 Everything Grows Fast in Her Family's Land
After listening to Du Wanchun's words, Aunt Zhou first planted the seeds in the backyard to help the seedlings grow.
The next day, Zhou Zhao went to the backyard early to feed the chickens and found that green leaves had actually grown in the previously bare mud.
The green leaves look quite large, about the length of an adult's thumb.
He ran excitedly into the house, "Mom, sister-in-law, the seeds in the backyard have sprouted!"
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou had just come out of the house when they heard the good news, and they quickly followed Zhou Zhao to the backyard.
Standing at the door, Aunt Zhou was overjoyed to see the lush green leaves. "Oh my! What kind of seeds are these? They sprouted overnight!"
For ordinary seeds to grow to this size, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
Du Wanchun walked to the seedlings and touched the leaves. "Mother, why don't we plant these seedlings in the ground quickly?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and nodded in agreement, “Okay, it just so happens that Ruiyuan bought the whole hill next to our land yesterday, so we’ll plant these seedlings on the hillside.”
Du Wanchun got up, ready to help Miao.
Zhou Ruiyuan, who was originally inside the house, quickly strode over, took the small hoe from her hand, and said, "Wanchun, go inside and rest, I'll do it."
Du Wanchun didn't stand on ceremony with him. She slowly got up, glanced into the room, and asked, "Husband, where is my second brother?"
While digging seedlings with Aunt Zhou, Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "My second brother went to the shop in Cheng'an County. He said that since he would be staying at home for ten days or half a month anyway, he would help look after the shop first. It just so happens that he can also take care of Sister Zhang for a while."
Du Wanchun nodded, bent down, and picked up the basket from the side.
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly got up to receive it.
The family quickly packed the seedlings into baskets and then went to the field together.
The field was full of vegetables, a lush green expanse as far as the eye could see.
Aunt Zhou and Zhou Zhao walked at the front with baskets on their backs, Du Wanchun followed behind them with a water bottle, and Zhou Ruiyuan carefully protected her from behind with a hoe on his shoulder.
In fact, since Du Wanchun became pregnant again, apart from some morning sickness at the beginning, her body has not shown any abnormalities and is no different from before she was pregnant.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou were just being overly cautious.
In the past, if someone in the palace became pregnant, they were practically paralyzed with fear and trembling. Everyone in the palace would take great care of them, fearing that something might go wrong with the fetus.
Back then, Aunt Zhou had gone through this when she was pregnant with three sons, so in her eyes, even if her daughter-in-law lived a life in the palace, she would still cherish her as carefully as she had when she was in the palace.
Today, Aunt Zhou originally wanted to keep Du Wanchun at home to rest.
However, Du Wanchun suggested that she wanted to go for a walk in the fields, so Aunt Zhou allowed her to come along.
Aunt Zhou put down the basket on her back, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and turned to Du Wanchun, saying, "Wanchun, just sit there and don't move around. We'll go home after we plant the seedlings."
Du Wanchun put down the kettle in her hand and replied with a smile, "Okay, Mother."
Zhou Ruiyuan helped her sit down, then picked up his hoe and turned to walk towards Aunt Zhou.
The mother and her two children first cleared away the weeds on the hillside, then marked the area and began turning over the soil.
Du Wanchun, sitting to the side, was also busy helping to pick vegetables.
There were many bok choy growing in the field, and she picked out the tenderest leaves.
After Zhou Ruiyuan and the others finished turning the soil, she also picked a basket of vegetables.
In the rice paddies next to the vegetable garden, the rice was almost ripe. Du Wanchun looked up and thought that in a few days, it would be time to harvest the rice.
She carried a basket of vegetables to the golden rice paddy and reached out to touch it.
The rice stalks, which had been drooping, gradually raised their heads as a gust of wind blew by.
She looked at herself and was surprised.
Du Wanchun quickly withdrew her hand and then went to the back of the rice paddy, where there was a cornfield that Zhou Zhao had planted a month ago.
The cornfield was very large, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of low-lying stalks.
She tentatively reached out and gently tapped the corn stalk, thinking to herself, "If only these corn ears could ripen sooner."
After thinking it over, she slowly turned around and walked towards Aunt Zhou and the others.
No sooner had Du Wanchun left than the corn stalks in the field began to grow upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A cloud drifted across the clear sky, and a ray of bright sunshine landed right on the cornfield.
One by one, tiny corn buds sprouted in the sunlight.
The Zhou family was so focused on planting the saplings that they didn't notice what was happening here. After the saplings were planted, they each took some vegetables home.
When he returned home, he saw Liu's wife and Zhou Feng, who had just returned home.
The Liu family's daughter-in-law had red eyes, her head was down, and she looked very sad.
When Aunt Zhou saw this, she quickly asked, "Qiuhe, what's wrong with you?"
