Chapter 135 Crying
"Woo wow, woo wow~."
"What's wrong? Why is the child crying again? Is he hungry?" Gu Yan had just come back from outside when he heard the child crying loudly.
"He's not hungry, he just peed. This kid can't stand any grievance. He needs to be changed immediately after peeing, otherwise he will cry so hard that the roof will be lifted off." Li Wanqing, wearing a headscarf, watched Aunt Qiu change her son's diaper.
In just a short while, the child stopped crying after being changed into a dry diaper.
Seeing that the child was fine, Gu Yan went out to wash his hands and change his clothes.
This is what Li Wanqing said. When he came back from outside, his body was inevitably dirty, so the first thing he did when he came back was to wash his hands and change his clothes.
Gu Yan changed his clothes and returned to the house. Aunt Qiu had already gone out with the diaper.
Li Wanqing lay on the bed, playing with the child: "Xuanxuan, look at Mommy, oh, oh, now you feel comfortable and stop making trouble?"
Gu Zhixuan is the name Li Wanqing gave to her son, and his nickname is Xuanxuan.
"Wife, our son hasn't gone to bed yet." Gu Yan also came over.
Li Wanqing saw that he had changed his clothes, so she didn't stop him: "Yeah, he's awake. He just changed his diaper and he's happy now."
"Son, I am your father. Give me a smile." Gu Yan lay beside the child and teased him.
"You idiot? Our son is only twelve days old, how could he possibly understand?" Li Wanqing said coquettishly as she watched Gu Yan happily teasing the child.
"How can he not understand? My son is very smart, isn't he?" Gu Yan retorted. Just then, the child's mouth twitched, and Gu Yan immediately said excitedly: "He smiled, he smiled. My son must have understood and knows that I am his father."
"That's because the child is young and his facial nerves are out of control." Li Wanqing said mercilessly.
"My son just smiled at me, right? Son?" Gu Yan insisted.
Okay, Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan's silly dad look and decided to ignore him.
Gu Yan teased the child for a long time until he fell asleep.
"Wife, are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it." Gu Yan said while lying on the kang with his head raised.
"What's wrong? Is your son asleep? Now you have time to think of me?" Li Wanqing said.
"Wife, how could I forget you? I just missed my son every day I didn't see him, hehehe.
But wife, I brought you some delicious food.
Don’t you like Hei You You? This time I brought you a big bowl. I asked Aunt Qiu to warm it up. You can eat a few more later.” Gu Yan smiled.
"You idiot? You've been running back and forth these past few days, you must be tired, right?
I asked Uncle Wang to kill a chicken, and Aunt Qiu has already stewed it. You can eat more later." Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan's obviously dark and thin face and said distressedly.
It is now the third day of the ninth lunar month, the time for autumn harvest. Gu Yan gets up early every day and goes to the farm to watch the tenants harvest.
I hurried back in the evening to accompany them. I was really exhausted these days.
“I’m not tired. All the crops in Qingshan Town have been harvested. We are just waiting to dry them and sell them to the grain store for money.
Qingshui Town is still a little short, but it will only take a few days.
After harvesting the crops, I am busy planting wheat. I also plan to use half of the land to plant rapeseed.
Last year’s rapeseed oil was sold at a high price, and it will be just the right time to harvest the rapeseed and then plant rice next spring.
It won't be a big deal if we can harvest two crops." Gu Yan told Li Wanqing about his plan.
"That's fine. There aren't many people growing rapeseed here, and rapeseed oil can be sold at a high price.
Not only rapeseed, next year you can plant sunflowers in the corners of your farm where crops cannot be grown.
Melon seeds can not only be fried and eaten, but also extracted to make oil.
Planting sunflowers doesn't require prime land; a corner spot will do." Li Wanqing said.
"Yes, my wife, you have a good brain. Planting a circle of sunflowers around the farm will not take up space and can increase income. This is a good idea." Gu Yan felt that his wife was smart and could come up with such a good idea.
"Well, what's the big deal? If there are mountains or sandy land, you can grow sweet potatoes on the mountains and peanuts on the sandy land.
By the way, I also want to raise a few pigs on the farm. The pig manure can be used to fertilize the fields, and we can eat the pork ourselves." Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements after the grain is harvested. I also think it would be a good idea to raise a few pigs so that we can feed them with bran and rice bran from the farm.
I plan to raise more pigs so that we don’t have to buy meat for the whole year.” Gu Yan also thought raising pigs was a good idea, and there was no shortage of food to feed the pigs on the farm.
"Not only wheat bran and rice bran, but also the residue left over from oil extraction is a good thing to feed pigs," said Li Wanqing.
"Yes, I plan to raise more ducks next spring. We are next to a big river, and we usually drive the ducks to the river to eat small fish and shrimps.
I heard that once the ducks get used to it they will go home on their own and you don't have to worry about them at all.
The three calves we caught this time were all put to good use this year, and I plan to catch a few more this year.
The same goes for sheep. I plan to catch a few more and raise them on the farm.
It's not a big deal anyway. We can just let them out to graze in the summer, and we have straw for them to eat in the winter." Gu Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't wait to catch them and raise them right away.
“Yes, in fact, we can raise fish in the rice fields next year. The fish manure can fertilize the fields, and the fish can eat the pests in the rice fields.
Whether you want to eat it yourself or buy it to exchange for money, it's good." Li Wanqing thought of the modern Qingjiang fish and offered another suggestion.
"Okay, let's try raising fish in the rice fields next year. Next year, we won't be short of pork, eggs, or duck eggs. As you said, we'll have fish too.
Wife, our life is getting better and better." Gu Yan said happily as he looked at his lovely wife Ai Zimei lying on the kang.
"Of course, from now on, our days will be good days." Li Wanqing said with a happy smile.
After that, Gu Yan continued to go out early and come back late, until Xuanxuan’s full moon day, when he did not go out.
Xuanxuan’s one-month-old birthday is today, and Gu Yan and his family are not planning a big celebration, mainly because they don’t have that many relatives.
Gu Chongshan and the others are all in the mountains and can't come out.
Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu were in the village and town respectively, but Gu Yan didn't want to associate with them, so he didn't notify them.
So only Manager Liu and Li Ya Ren came today. Li Ya Ren was not invited by Gu Yan, but he found out about it through Manager Liu and came on his own.
"Brother Gu, congratulations, congratulations. I came here uninvited to have a glass of wedding wine." Li Yaren said as he entered the door.
"Welcome, welcome, I'm so happy that Brother Li can come.
Let's go inside and see my son." Although Gu Yan was surprised that Li Yaren could come, he was only stunned for a moment and then greeted him warmly.
In the room, Li Wanqing had already dressed neatly, and even Xiao Xuanxuan was wearing a newly made padded jacket.
Seeing Gu Yan and Li Yaren coming in, Li Wanqing greeted them with a smile: "Brother Li, why did this alarm you?
Aunt Qiu, quickly pour some tea for Brother Li."
