Chapter 211 The Life of the Scholar's Daughter (39)



Moreover, if the son is born first, he can protect his sister and support her.

Tang Baozhu herself was terrible at naming things. Several days after her son was born, she still hadn't thought of a name. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Li Jun to name him.

Although Li Jun had read a few books, his cultural level was just so-so. In order to name his son, he flipped through the Three Hundred Thousand Character Classic several times and finally chose the name Li Yaozu.

When Tang Baozhu saw the name, she just rolled her eyes inwardly, because she herself wasn't very good at choosing names, so she didn't say anything.

When I heard that name, I thought to myself, Li Jun was adopted by his father from outside, I don't know what kind of ancestor Yao is.

She might not even know where her ancestors are, but fortunately she wouldn't reopen old wounds, and instead praised the name as particularly well-chosen.

Li Jun also felt that the name he had chosen was particularly good, especially after his wife praised it, which put him at ease and made him feel that the name was well chosen.

When Li Yaozu was six months old, all the wasteland on the mountain had been reclaimed. Because so many animals had been raised, the first crop planted was all sweet potatoes.

There were so many sweet potatoes that the house was piled high with them. In the end, Tang Baozhu had no choice but to use them to make wine, which finally managed to consume some of them.

Moreover, the alcohol content is particularly high, although not as high as that of pure grain-brewed liquor, but much better than most liquors of this era.

Moreover, the wine is exceptionally clear after filtration, which already puts it ahead of 80% of the wines on the market.

When it was time to plant the second crop, about one-third of the land was replanted with sweet potatoes, the remaining one-third was planted with potatoes, and Tang Baozhu planted watermelons on the last remaining one-third of the land.

The barren mountain was located on a hillside, so it received plenty of sunlight. Moreover, she would use her wood-type ability to tidy up the seeds every time she planted them, so the fruits that matured were always better.

The same applies to growing watermelons. She hopes that after proper care, the watermelons she grows will be large and sweet, as there are very few watermelon growers in the county now.

These watermelon seeds were taken out secretly by Tang Baozhu. She made up the excuse that Tang Xiucai had bought watermelons for her to eat before, and then secretly kept the seeds, only to take them out to plant them now.

When he first took it out, Li Jun was quite surprised. Although he had some doubts about the origin of the seeds, he didn't say anything. He thought to himself that maybe his scholar father-in-law had such strong connections that he could buy watermelons that were scarce on the market.

Just because he, an ordinary person, couldn't buy it doesn't mean that someone of his scholar status couldn't. This gradually dispelled his doubts.

He had long heard that watermelons were exceptionally delicious, so he readily agreed to offer three or four hundred acres of land to grow them.

He hopes that his wife and son will have the habit of eating an endless supply of watermelons, and that they can sell them and make a lot of money.

I've been married to Baozhu for over a year now, and I know that she doesn't have any other hobbies except for thick gold bracelets, and buying shops and land.

Yes, Li Jun still felt that Tang Baozhu preferred thick gold bracelets and was going further and further down this path, as if eight horses couldn't pull her back. Now that he had a little spare money, he thought of buying her a thick gold bracelet.

But Tang Baozhu always had to smile and say she liked it very much, because it was someone's kind gesture, and she couldn't let it go to waste.

The first batch of sweet potatoes harvested at home were used to make wine, which was sold in the county town and received unanimous praise.

Some people wanted to buy the wine, because they were very curious about what such a strong wine, filtered so cleanly, was made from.

Tang Baozhu and Li Jun rejected them all. Some businessmen were more magnanimous and didn't say anything after being refused, while others were petty and narrow-minded.

Seeing that she wasn't going to sell, she resorted to all sorts of underhanded tricks. Unfortunately for her, Tang Baozhu wasn't one to be trifled with. She summoned all five puppets back, with three keeping an eye on the barren mountain and the other two helping her solve the problem.

Those with a little cunning would break their legs or arms, while those with malicious intentions would try to wipe out Tang Baozhu's entire family. Then, whoever obtained the formula would choose all sorts of ways to kill them, ensuring that none of them would be the same.

When Tang Baozhu's son was already six months old, Chunxue and Qingliu also became pregnant one after another. Tang Baozhu was happy for them and told them that they didn't need to take care of her anymore and that the most important thing was to give birth to the baby in their wombs.

Originally, they weren't supposed to do any work, but Chunxue and Qingliu felt bad about just taking a salary and being supported by the employer. Although they couldn't do any heavy work, they would still do some small tasks to make themselves feel better.

Tang Baozhu couldn't stop them, so she left them to their own devices, only telling Yang Ma to keep a close eye on them, since it was a good thing to have a new addition to the family.

Li Jun said after they got pregnant that they didn't need to take care of them. There's a saying in the village that if a child is under one year old, he shouldn't be around a pregnant woman too often, because it's said to be bad for the child.

Unfortunately, Tang Baozhu, being a soul from the modern world, never believed in such nonsense. It was only because the child was under one year old and didn't understand things that she was afraid he might accidentally hurt the pregnant woman. But for some reason, it gradually became a hindrance.

At that time, Chunxue and Qingliu's village may also have this custom. After becoming pregnant, they will consciously not get close to Xiao Ping'an. Xiao Ping'an is Li Yaozu's nickname. It was given to him so that he could grow up safely.

Later, we gradually got used to calling him that and started calling him Xiao Ping'an directly. Now, he doesn't react to the name Li Yaozu at all. If you call him Xiao Ping'an, he will just stare at you.

Because Xiao Ping'an is still too young, Tang Baozhu doesn't want to have a younger brother or sister for him so soon. She worries that having too many children will distract him and make him feel lost, which wouldn't be good for him either.

Then one day, Tang Baozhu suddenly remembered that the day the little girl died in her previous life had arrived, and she realized how quickly time had passed.

Fortunately, the day passed by just like any other, and the death calamity of the previous life passed peacefully.

Busy every day, Xiao Ping'an was already over two years old at that time. Just then, Xiaohuangshan was on the right track, and Tang Baozhu prepared to start Xiao Ping'an's early education.

Having eaten so many good things, Tang Baozhu couldn't let him eat them for nothing; they had to be put to good use. So, she began to prepare him for school.
