Xiuhua cleared all the weeds from the patch of mud behind the yard, then turned the soil over again, mounded it into rows, sowed the seeds, covered them with soil, and watered them.
When Ning Jing saw it, her eyes widened in surprise.
So you don't need to buy vegetables, you can grow your own?
Actually, she didn't know that this land was originally used for growing vegetables, but after Fu Hongxing's parents passed away, her family simply didn't have the money to buy seeds.
Even if she planted vegetables, her aunt managed to take them away from the original owner of the body.
Xiuhua had no choice but to go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables, which was how they managed to make ends meet.
"Actually, as long as we have seeds, we can grow some scallions, garlic, chives, loofahs, and pumpkins ourselves. We can plant them along the wall to save space and we don't need to take care of them too much. Just water them."
Seeing her sister-in-law squatting by the edge of the field looking at it with curiosity, Xiuhua said with a smile.
"Your older brother doesn't like onions and garlic."
Upon hearing what Xiuhua said, Ningjing subconsciously replied.
After she finished speaking, she realized what she had said and her face flushed red.
"I'll go heat up the kang (heated brick bed) to get rid of the dampness."
Ning Jing didn't dare to look at Xiu Hua's face. She stood up abruptly, turned around, and ran towards the new house.
"Hey... Sister-in-law!?"
Xiuhua was startled by Ning Jing's sudden action and reached out to stop her, but Ning Jing had already disappeared.
"It was already burned this morning! Why did you burn it again?"
She scratched her head, somewhat bewildered, and muttered to herself.
My older brother had said before that the heated kang bed in the new house only needs to be burned once a day to remove the dampness.
Once the weather gets cold, the kang (heated brick bed) can be used.
When Ningjing ran to the new house and was about to light the fire, she realized that the kang (a heated brick bed) had already been heated today.
Just as I turned around, I saw Fu Hongxing walking in from outside, carrying a bundle of bamboo.
"What is this for?"
Ning Jing was somewhat curious.
"We need to make a kang mat, but the weather is still hot, and we don't have any quilts at home, so we can't sleep on it."
To cut bamboo, Fu Hongxing took off his shirt, leaving him only in a vest underneath, revealing bulging muscles at the edges.
Ning Jing couldn't help but glance at it, secretly swallowing her saliva, and didn't even hear what Fu Hongxing said clearly.
"...Tranquility, tranquility?"
Seeing Ning Jing's distracted expression, Fu Hongxing frowned and waved his hand in front of her face.
"Ah, wh...what's wrong?"
Ning Jing felt something waving in front of her eyes, which brought her back to her senses. She hurriedly asked a question.
"This isn't enough, I'll go cut some more bamboo."
Fu Hongxing said in a deep voice.
He felt that Ning Jing had changed somewhat since the day the monkey came.
It seems that his refusal to come to his house with the monkey was quite reasonable.
People like monkeys are not suited for tranquility.
She should be suited to... that kind of... definitely not the monkey type.
Fu Hongxing felt slightly irritated, grabbed a handful of her hair, and turned to leave.
Ning Jing sensed the coldness emanating from Fu Hongxing, feeling somewhat bewildered and guilty.
After all, she had just been fantasizing about other people's figures.
Tsk tsk, what a pity!
Thinking of Fu Hongxing's injury, her previously aroused heart immediately calmed down.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you know what happened at your uncle's house?"
The rake used to dig the vegetable patch was borrowed from Sister Guihua. After Xiuhua finished tending the vegetable patch, she went to return the rake. Sister Guihua then whispered in her ear what had happened at Uncle Fu's house, which shocked Xiuhua so much that her eyes almost popped out.
