Tang Baozhu shook her head. As far as she was concerned, she was easy to raise. However, if it were the original little girl, she would probably be a picky eater, especially in front of someone who doted on her. But now, there was a different soul inside her.
"No, I'm easy to take care of. I can eat white flour steamed buns now, which is a blessing. Look at other families, they don't eat white flour steamed buns every meal. I eat better than most people now."
Feng Yi thought about it and realized that was indeed the case; as long as Baozhu didn't feel wronged, that was fine.
While having breakfast, Feng Yi asked Baozhu directly, "At noon, I'm planning to go to the small shop to buy some groceries. Is there anything you'd like to eat? But the small shop really is small; I'm not sure if they'll have what you want."
"Brother Yi, you can decide for me, I'm fine with anything."
After breakfast, Feng Yi didn't rest. After washing the dishes, he tidied up the house. Perhaps due to obsessive-compulsive disorder, he made sure all the floors were spotless and everything was arranged neatly.
Even the blankets she slept in last night had to be folded into neat squares again. Tang Baozhu didn't know how to fold them herself, nor did she know how to fold them into squares. Since he wanted to tidy up, she would let him do it.
When it was almost time to go to work, I stopped and hurried outside, still worried, and kept reminding myself, "Just wait for me at home. You don't need to do anything. Don't go too far out there. You know, it's quite far from here. What if a wild beast suddenly appears?"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll just wander around here, I won't go far."
After Feng Yi left, Tang Baozhu released the five puppets and told them to go deep into the mountains and forests to find useful medicinal herbs and bring back any other good things they found.
Anyway, they're not really needed in the space. Eleven robots are enough. Let them create some value for us.
After seeing off the five puppets, she took out her small hoe and prepared to collect some small stones. She had found a lot of small stones when she went out in the morning, and she planned to pave the passageway in the middle of the yard with stones.
That way, she wouldn't have to worry about walking in the rain. Although Feng Yi said she didn't need to do any work and that he would come, she couldn't possibly sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor without feeling guilty.
She plans to tidy up the thatched hut so that she can live more comfortably for the next few years.
I took the basket and went outside, walking to the place where I had just discovered many stones that morning. Even the plants weren't growing very well there, probably because there were too many stones.
After filling the basket, she picked up a little more and stored it in her space so she wouldn't have to make two extra trips and could finish it all in one go.
The distance from the courtyard gate to the living room is at least ten meters long, and the stone path she plans to pave will be at least 80 centimeters wide; any wider would be unnecessary.
While calculating the number of stones needed, her hands never stopped moving, and she directly put the nice-looking and relatively flat stones into her space.
Tang Baozhu stopped picking stones after a little over an hour. She felt that there were more than enough stones to pave a small path in the yard, and the extra stones were meant to be used to pave the section of the road leading from the yard to the downhill path after the road was repaired.
Before even reaching the courtyard, they laid out a path with the stones. After laying the path, they dug up some yellow mud, mixed it with some water, and then smeared it into the gaps between the stones.
It took Tang Baozhu almost the entire morning to pave this one road. By noon, Feng Yi had already returned, and Tang Baozhu had just finished her work. However, looking at the path in front of her, she felt it was beautiful and she felt a great sense of accomplishment. It was quite nice.
Feng Yi felt heartbroken when he saw this. He had originally wanted his wife to rest here, but he didn't expect her to have done so much in just one morning.
"Aren't you tired? Didn't I tell you to get some rest? Why aren't you resting properly and instead doing so much?"
Tang Baozhu didn't mind the hardship at all, and besides, she really didn't feel that uncomfortable. "I didn't feel it was hard at all. Don't you think the road looks better now that it's been repaired? Even when it rains, I don't have to worry about getting my shoes wet."
Feng Yi actually hoped that Baozhu could act coquettishly towards him like before, instead of being so sensible that he felt sorry for her.
"I see a pile of stones over there. What are you planning to do with them?"
Since his wife insisted on working and he couldn't persuade her otherwise, he decided to help her finish the work so she wouldn't have to worry about doing anything else.
“That pile of stones is what I’m planning to use to pave a stone path from the main gate to the bottom of the slope once the road is repaired. Since you have to go to work rain or shine, it will definitely be more comfortable if the road is easier to walk on.”
Feng Yi felt as if his heart was blooming with joy, happy that his wife still cared about him.
"Honey, you've been busy all morning, you must be hungry. I'll go cook now, you can rest for a while, I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"Sure."
After that, Tang Baozhu's life in the army gradually settled down. The road leading down the mountain was repaired, and she began to go out and about more.
The wasteland at the foot of the mountain was also cleared by Feng Yi and his companions. They planted a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Others had already planted the seedlings, and he directly bought sweet potato vines to propagate. The sweet potato vines grew very quickly.
As for potatoes, you'll have to ask someone else to help with seedling cultivation. Based on the buds on the potatoes, cut them into pieces, dip the cut surfaces in some wood ash, and then replant them after the seedlings have grown.
After about ten days, the planting was finally finished. There was no need to worry about them not sprouting or not surviving. Whenever she had free time, Tang Baozhu would simply walk around the field and use her wood-type ability to stimulate the growth of the sweet potatoes and potatoes. As a result, none of them failed to thrive.
Feng Yi also dug up the two plots of land in the yard, borrowed some seeds from someone else, and planted the two plots full of vegetables.
Onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and vegetables planted in this season—don't let the small size of the yard fool you, she's planted a ton of vegetables there. Just thinking about how in a month or two, there will be more vegetables in the yard than she can eat makes her very happy.
Of course, Feng Yi did most of the work, while Tang Baozhu did the easier tasks. This was something Tang Baozhu had to fight for; otherwise, he would have preferred her to sit and rest the whole time.
That day, Tang Baozhu went to inspect his land, wanting to see how the potatoes and sweet potatoes on those two acres of wasteland were growing, and also to pick some sweet potato stalks to stir-fry and eat.
