Chapter 475 How about we set up a school in the village?
Jiang Yubai took away 80% of the farm's output, and the rest were carefully selected high-quality products.
The experimental field that Sang Zhixia specially pulled out had the most impressive yield, with an output of more than 800 kilograms per mu, which is amazing.
Regardless of the quality of the rice produced in the experimental field, Xu Yu decided to keep them all, and Jiang Yubai was not allowed to take a single grain away.
Xu Yu spoke slowly. Sang Zhixia's eyelids kept drooping as he listened. Before falling asleep, he only managed to mumble, "The grain in the experimental fields is the key. No one else is allowed to touch it..."
"...Please keep an eye on it for me. I'm going to go see it in a few days..."
Xu Yu gently pushed back the quilt that Sang Zhixia had accidentally lifted, and replied in a gentle voice, "Okay, I know."
"I've saved it all for you. No one else is allowed to touch a single grain of rice."
Sang Zhixia pursed her lips contentedly and wanted to say something, but she slowly lost consciousness in endless sleepiness.
Xu Yu was sure that Sang Zhixia was soundly asleep, so he stood up and prepared to put down the account book in his hand. However, as soon as he moved, he heard a whimpering sound coming from the basket containing the tiger cub outside.
Xu Yu frowned and walked out. Just as he was about to throw the basket away, he heard the words of Qi Lao at the right moment: "The tiger is the king of the forest and has its own spirit."
"Since they're here, it's fate. It's better to keep them by Xia's side. They'll get familiar with the scent and recognize their master. When the baby is born, these two dumb beasts will be more protective of their master than humans. It'll be an extra layer of protection."
The ferocity of wild beasts is beyond human reach.
If it is true as Mr. Qi said, these two little ones whining for milk can indeed give people an extra sense of peace of mind.
Xu Yu never complained about having too many things left with Sang Zhixia.
Anything that might be useful can be kept.
Xu Yu turned around, pushed the door open, and said to Hua Shan, who was keeping watch outside, "Go heat up some goat milk and get a spoon."
Xu Yu calmly held a small spoon in his hand and acted as the tiger cub's wet nurse. After the tiger cub had eaten and drunk enough, he took Sang Zhixia's coat and put it in the basket.
Sang Zhixia was unaware of this.
When Sang Zhixia woke up, what she saw was Xu Yu feeding her with an expressionless face.
Sang Zhixia paused subtly, then turned to indescribable amusement: "Why is it your turn to feed now?"
Xu Yu didn't want to talk about how much this little thing, whose eyes were barely open, could eat. It started whining and disturbing everyone's peace after not eating for an hour. He sighed silently and said, "Old Qi said it's better to be closer to you, so I didn't pick it up and threw it away."
"Zhizhi, sit up and take a break. I'll wipe my hands and bring you some warm water for washing your face."
Xu Yu wanted to do everything himself, but with capable people like Aunt Xie around, these trivial matters had already been taken care of.
Sang Zhixia dressed herself up with the help of a painted fan, ate a light breakfast, and then looked down at her gradually rounding waist. She said helplessly, "This belly seems to be getting bigger day by day."
After May, the baby in the belly grows like a balloon, and looks different every day.
Xu Yu approached and gently held Sang Zhixia's hand, whispering, "It's hard enough to be pregnant with one child, let alone two at once."
"It's fresh in the morning, shall I help you go for a walk?"
Staying in the house all the time is not a good idea. It will not be good for Sang Zhixia in the long run.
Therefore, every day when he had free time, Xu Yu would always take Sang Zhixia for a walk outside, just as a way to help digestion after meals.
Sang Zhixia felt that she was in good spirits today. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go for a walk on the farm."
"I have some ideas about the grain harvest this autumn that I'd like to discuss with the village chief."
It has actually been a while since Sang Zhixia last went out and met the villagers.
Everyone knows that Sang Zhixia is not feeling well now. No matter what happens, they subconsciously look for either Xu Minghui or Xu Yu.
After all the trouble, Sang Zhixia is now the one with the most free time in the family.
Xu Yu always responded to Sang Zhixia's requests. The two of them walked out of the door one after another in the lingering morning dew. Sang Zhixia noticed the change in the threshold when they came in, and her eyebrows raised silently.
Coming out of the bedroom in the north courtyard and reaching the Xu family's gate, all the thresholds along the way have been flattened, leaving the entire surface flat.
But it was clearly not like this yesterday.
Sang Zhixia turned around and asked Xu Yu, "The threshold is chipped? Did you do that?"
Xu Yu walked down the slight, almost imperceptible slope in front of the house, holding Sang Zhixia's hand, and said calmly, "I originally just wanted to level the north yard, but when Third Aunt saw it, she suggested we just move everything at once to avoid inconvenience when you come in and out."
So last night when Sang Zhixia was immersed in her dreams, Xu Yu fed the tiger cub who drank milk without restraint, and then came out with people to cut the door threshold.
The road was smooth, so even if Sang Zhixia lowered her head and couldn't see her shoes, she wouldn't be tripped by the invisible threshold.
Sang Zhixia felt warm in her heart and didn't know what to say. She smiled for a long time and just silently pinched Xu Yu's slender fingers.
The villagers hadn't seen Sang Zhixia for a long time. When they saw her suddenly, they looked at her round belly and were surprised to see her. They came up to her one after another to talk to her.
"Oh, Xia Xia, you're having a very good month. Are you about to have good news?"
Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "There's still some time left."
"When the time comes, I'll invite my sister-in-law to my house for a drink."
After getting the answer, the sister-in-law nodded happily and praised her several times. Sang Zhixia was immediately pulled back by the white-haired old lady.
The old lady was trembling, pulling Sang Zhixia to forcefully stuff some dried red dates into her mouth. "One person eats, two people benefit. You're pregnant now, so you should eat more foods that replenish your Qi and blood. This will keep you plump and plump, so the baby in your belly can grow well."
The old lady brought her little granddaughter with her. The little girl looked about five or six years old. She was obviously drooling at the red dates being stuffed into Sang Zhixia's mouth, but she still took out the red dates from her pocket with a shining look in her eyes.
"Sister, eat!"
Sang Zhixia was so amused that her eyebrows curved. She reached out and touched the little girl's hair. Then, like a magic trick, she took out a few candies from her purse and said, "Can I trade some candies with you?"
The little girl was so happy that she looked extremely happy. Sang Zhixia took the red date she had exchanged for and continued to move forward with Xu Yu.
There were many little kids along the way, some of whom Sang Zhixia was familiar with, and some of whom she didn't know.
But when these babies, big and small, saw Sang Zhixia, they all smiled and called her sister, each one sounding crisp and sweeter than honey.
Before Sangzhi Xiaren even reached the farm, the candy in his pocket that he always kept to coax his children was gone.
Sang Zhixia coaxed the clinging baby away, stood up straight, exhaled slightly, turned to look at Xu Yu and said, "How about we open a school in the village?"
