Lu Jingnian's already furrowed brows tightened even more after hearing this.
Does your family know?
"Hehe, I don't know yet. Cousin, could you please not tell the family yet? I'm afraid they won't approve."
Since you know your family doesn't approve, why do you still want to be together?
Xiang Wanwan expressed her incomprehension.
Although free love is advocated nowadays, in her experience, marriages between people of unequal social standing generally do not end well.
Although the Ning family used to be quite well-off—Ning Feng's father owned a textile factory—they had long since fallen on hard times after being demoted for embezzlement and bribery.
Although she didn't know how Ning Feng's family was rescued, even if they were, their situation was worlds apart from that of the Lu family.
They're not even on the same level.
Xiang Wanwan tried to persuade her, "Cousin, dating is a big deal. You should tell your family about it as soon as possible. After all, your aunt and uncle have been through it all, and their judgment in men is usually quite good."
Ning Feng's little tricks can only fool innocent girls like Lu Yaqin; they definitely won't fool the ladies of the Lu family.
"Sister-in-law, I know. I trust my judgment. Feng is a good man, and I won't be wrong about him."
"We love each other very much."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wanwan immediately shut up.
Fine, since you're so eager to experience the pain of love, whatever!
First there was Xiang Shuxue, then Lu Yaqin; one has to go through one or two scumbags before they finally wake up.
After dinner, Lu Jingnian went to work, while Lu Yaqin and Ning Feng stayed for a while before going back home. They had just moved in and said there was still a lot of stuff to pack.
As soon as the two left, Wu Ma, holding the child beside her, said, "Madam, I don't think Miss Biao's boyfriend is any good. He looks shifty and sneaky."
Xiang Wanwan smiled helplessly.
"He's definitely not a good person."
In the afternoon, Wang's family was harvesting rapeseed, and Xiang Wanwan, having nothing else to do, went to help.
When they arrived at the field, there were already quite a few people there, some harvesting winter wheat and others harvesting rapeseed; it was a lively scene.
"Sigh, this kind of land is too tiring. After working hard for half a year, this is all we get. It's better not to do it at all."
"That's right. If I didn't raise pigs at home, I wouldn't want to farm anymore. Anyway, I have supplies every month, so there's no need to work so hard."
"Take corn for example. After planting, you need to fertilize it. After harvesting, you need to thresh the corn. There are many steps involved."
Aunt Wang lowered her voice and said to Xiang Wanwan, "This kind of land is a real science. Even I, a country bumpkin, can't get a good yield, let alone these city people."
"Oh, Wanwan! I think our pig farming plan is doomed. No one is growing grain, and all those pigs will starve."
Xiang Wanwan thought about it and realized that this wouldn't work.
Holding a sickle, she stood up, raised her voice, and said to Sister Wang:
"Sister-in-law, we need to plant more corn, otherwise when we open a pig farm, there won't be enough to feed all those pigs."
As Wang's wife was puzzled, the women working nearby heard what she said and all looked over with curiosity.
"Comrade Xiang, what did you say? You want to open a pig farm?"
"That's right! Isn't there not enough fresh meat on the island? If we open a pig farm, everyone will be able to eat meat."
Everyone wore a joyful expression.
"That's great! We'll all come and buy pork then."
"Oh, why buy anything! When everyone grows their own grain, they can just exchange it for grain, so there's no need to spend any money."
"This money can be saved for retirement."
Aunt Wang gradually understood what Xiang Wanwan meant and chimed in, "That's right, exchanging grain for pork is such a good deal! In the future, everyone won't have to work so hard to raise pigs anymore; they can just grow some grain and exchange it for pork."
"Oh my, this is great news! I was thinking of giving up farming, but now I'm definitely going to farm, and farm lots of it!"
"I'll plant some too! Growing some corn and I can exchange it for meat, it's such a good deal."
Seeing this, Xiang Wanwan finally felt relieved.
"Aunties, I checked on your fields last time. The poor yield is because the soil contains too much salt. All we need to do is drain the salt out."
