Chapter 176: Scientific Farming
"People told me that agriculture is about farming. Your father and I farm. Why would a little girl like her study agriculture? What's the point of studying it?"
"Will you work with us in the fields after you graduate?"
Xia Keqing: ...
"Mom, how about you talk to my dad about what I said last time about renting a fish pond and contracting land to grow vegetables?"
Mother Xia frowned. It was hard to fool people after being fooled so many times.
"Don't fool me. Now I'm talking about your sister and you're trying to change the subject!"
Everyone admires the strong, even if the "strong person" in front of them is their own daughter.
When facing their younger daughter and son, Father and Mother Xia took on the role of the strong. In their eyes, they were the elders, and they had experienced more and walked more roads than the two children.
Children are young and don’t understand, so they should listen more to their parents’ opinions.
But Xia Keqing is different.
The child himself is a college student, and he is studying literature!
As for what is literature? Doesn’t that mean you don’t understand? If you don’t understand, you will appear superior.
So for Xia Keqing, it's just the opposite, she is the strong one.
Mr. and Mrs. Xia just listened to their daughter.
Xia Keqing was helpless, "Mom, I'm not kidding you! I'm serious. There are a lot of things to learn in agronomy at university. If we build a fish pond and contract more land for planting, wouldn't my little sister be suitable for the major?"
"What is this called?"
Xia Keqing glanced at her little sister and said, "It's called scientific planting!"
Mother Xia was frightened by Xia Keqing.
But she still had some doubts, "Forget it, I'm uneducated and can't argue with you, but forget about growing vegetables in the fish pond. It's fine for your father and I. When we get old, we don't want to bother."
Xia Keqing: “Nonsense!”
"You and my father are only in their forties, how can we be old? We are in the prime of life!"
In this era, women generally get married early. The eldest daughter is only in her early twenties, and Xia's mother is still very young.
That's why Xia Keqing hoped that she could find something to do, otherwise it would be easy for her to cause trouble for her children.
It’s good for them and for their children.
Xia Zhijie interrupted from the side, "Big sister, can my second sister really learn that?"
“Can we really farm scientifically?”
Xia Kexin snorted coldly, and Xia Keqing tried to smooth things over, "Of course. Why do you think you are so full now? It's because our country's agricultural scholars have worked hard to develop hybrid rice and increase food production."
Xia Zhijie seemed to be thinking about something.
He turned his head to look at Xia Kexin, then looked at his mother, "Mom, why don't we listen to our eldest sister and rent a fish pond and contract land to grow fruits and vegetables? It's quite interesting!"
Mother Xia said angrily: "Do you think this is a joke?"
Xia Zhijie curled his lips, "When my second sister graduates and comes home, she will have a career to pursue, how great is that?"
Xia Kexin: ...
Xia Keqing: ...
This brat!
After talking about her sister, Xia's mother turned to her daughter, "You and Jichuan, what are your plans?"
Xia Keqing probably knew what Xia's mother wanted to say, but that didn't stop her from playing dumb. "What plan?"
"Jichuan is doing well in the army, my career is doing well too, we are all doing well, let's work hard."
Mother Xia glared at her and said, "Don't play dumb with me!"
"Your mother-in-law told me that Chen Lan is also going to work with you. She even quit her job at the clinic. Do you really plan to keep doing this? Are you not going to join the army?"
"You and Jichuan are married. You are still studying these few years. They are waiting for you with good intentions. After you graduate, you are still so wild. How can you not behave like a daughter-in-law?"
"Although your mother-in-law didn't say anything, I think if it were me, I would definitely not be happy if Zhijie's wife didn't come home and didn't take care of him in the future."
Xia Keqing laughed dryly, "Oh, mother, how old is Xia Zhijie? Are you thinking about finding him a wife now?"
"Xia Zhijie, listen to this. Your mother said that she will let your wife serve you in the future. You must study hard and have a promising future. Otherwise, who will serve you as a grown-up girl nowadays?"
If it wasn't Xia's mother who said this, Xia Keqing would have sneered at her.
Shen Jichuan has no hands or feet? Still need her to serve you?
He is so beautiful!
But the person who was speaking was Xia's mother, the biological mother of this body, so Xia Keqing wouldn't say anything.
But Xia's mother heard it, "What are you talking about, you little bitch?"
"Is it possible for you to talk like that?"
Xia Keqing chuckled and changed the subject, "We have already discussed this matter, so don't worry about it."
As she spoke, she winked at her younger brother and sister, but Mother Xia was not someone who could be fooled so easily. "No, don't fool me. While I'm still young, talk to me properly."
Shifeng Village is located in a remote area. Originally, children called their parents "Dad and Mom". However, as more and more educated people became people and more and more people went out to work, they began to learn to call their parents "Mom and Dad" like the city people.
Even Xia's mother would occasionally follow the trend and call herself "Mom".
"Okay, mother, don't worry about this. I've already talked to Shen Jichuan..."
Mother Xia was also stubborn and forced Xia Keqing to tell her the plan again, until Xia Keqing said that after graduation, she would go to Shen Jichuan's city to open a branch company, and the two would definitely live together. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel like I have done my best for my old sisters.
Otherwise, if you give birth to a daughter and marry her to someone else's son, she won't look like a daughter-in-law at all.
But privately, Xia's mother thinks her daughter is still okay.
A college student who is good-looking and can make money is a very capable person. If she marries into the Shen family, the Shen family will make a lot of money.
Although I was not accompanying my son-in-law in the army, at least we were in the same city.
Their generation has its own set of behavioral norms and some old truths.
In their opinion, a couple should live together. How can they be a couple if they don’t live together?
If a couple keeps living apart, they will eventually break up.
Of course, Xia's mother didn't say this.
Because it is really unlucky.
Xia Keqing personally sent her sister Xia Kexin to the train station and asked Xia's mother to go with her, but she refused to do so.
Xia Kexin said, "Sister, look at mom, isn't her desire for control a little too strong?"
"You know you can't control me, so just treat me like your daughter doesn't exist."
Xia Keqing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You, your temper is most like your mother's. Isn't it because of you that she didn't come?"
Xia Kexin was speechless, "Sister, what's the point you're talking about?"
Xia Keqing said: "She must know her own personality. She knows that if she comes here, she will definitely not be able to help but talk about you, so she didn't come."
Xia Kexin felt a little better, but she still said stubbornly, "I don't believe it."
Xia Keqing waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go there quickly and remember to call home when you get to school."
The Xia family installed a telephone years ago.
This phone became the "big star" of the whole village, so Xia Kexin could contact her family directly when she returned to school.
At this point, Xia Kexin began to feel reluctant, "Sister, when will you return to the provincial capital?"
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "In a few days, it will be the second semester of my senior year, and I will have fewer classes, so it's okay to go back later."
Xia Kexin nodded, "Then I'll leave."
As he said this, he walked away, looking back every few steps.
Xia Keqing waved to her and said, "Don't forget to call home when you get back."
Xia Kexin didn't even turn her head, "Got it."
At this time, Xia Keqing didn't know that this petite girl in front of her would actually have a good development in agronomy in the future.
And because of some relationships, he became entangled with a person Xia Keqing could never have imagined.
