Although Xie Zhenghe had not graduated from high school, he had good grades, strong comprehension ability, and loved to study. In addition to the fertilizers she provided, Su Li also prepared some books for Xie Zhenghe to read. All of them had been checked by Su Li and did not have any modern markings. The production of brown sugar required delicate work that required attention to detail, which was just right for Xie Zhenghe.
Xie Zhengyang loves to eat and is interested in everything edible. He is particularly active in raising pigs. Su Li knows that in addition to being excited, he is more nervous, fearing that he will not be able to take good care of the piglets.
After all, this was the first time for the young lady to get into the sedan chair, and he just said it. He didn't expect Su Li to throw it directly to him. Thinking about how his eyes widened at that time, Su Li found it quite funny.
If Xie Zhengyang can raise piglets well, he can raise a few more pigs next year.
The breeding industry is also a very profitable business in the later stages.
When the people of Shanghe Village got off work, they gathered in groups of three or four. They were shocked to see the tractor from the county pulling the little piglets into Old Xie's house.
"Oh my goodness, am I seeing things? The Xie family is crazy. Why would they want to raise so many piglets?"
"People can't even get enough to eat, yet you're still raising pigs. You're crazy. You'll make others so poor that they don't even have their underwear left. Haha..."
"Who said it wasn't? They even raised a pig, but the village chief doesn't care. Just wait, they might even have to pay for the task pig. It's good to collect the piglets, but they still have to hand in the general tasks. Humph! Let's see what they will hand in at the end of the year."
"What do you have to pay? I don't care...what do you care? Anyway, I won't eat your food. The Xie family is willing to support me. I don't care...what do you care."
"Hey! Tian Laoshi, why are you so talkative today? What benefits did you receive from the Xie family? Why are you speaking for them?"
The man was just talking casually, but Tian Laoshi blushed thinking about the quilt and food at home, "They... they are all good people, they don't care about your behavior no matter what they do, humph!"
He left after saying that, without giving anyone time to retort.
The others smiled and continued chatting.
Su Li didn't know what the villagers outside said, but even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything. Anyway, they would have meat to eat at the end of the year. She had thought it through. She handed in three pigs for the task and sold two of them. She gave the money from one to Xie Zhengyang and kept the money from the other for herself. She also slaughtered the remaining pig and divided the meat between the Xie family, her family, and her mother's family, with one third going to the Xie family, her family, and her mother's family.
When the year came, she expanded the pigpen and took out some of the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese from the space and let Xie Zhengyang raise them.
In the evening, Su Li stewed some cabbage with vinegar, stir-fried a plate of lotus root slices, poured two cans of canned yellow peaches into a plate, and cooked a big pot of braised beef noodles. She got the soup base from the space.
Xie Zhengchuan helped to serve the dishes. The children washed their hands and looked at the big, red, greasy chunks of beef on the table. Their eyes lit up instantly.
"Mom, I like this noodle the most?" Baoya handed her small bowl to Su Li, asking her to help serve.
Su Li gave her a few more pieces of soft beef. The little girl squinted her eyes in enjoyment as she ate the meat.
Hu Zi saw that his sister got a few more pieces of meat just for saying something, so he quickly handed over the bowl, "Mom, I...I like this noodles the most too." He said while looking at Su Li with his teeth bared.
Su Li: “…”
Shitou rolled his eyes at his brother's expression.
"Mom, I'll eat whatever you serve me. I like everything you make, hehe!"
Tiedan looked up at the sky in silence, his younger brothers were so shameless!
"There's meat. Look, there's still a lot of beef under the pot. There's enough to eat."
After Su Li served the children, she also served some dishes for them. Xie Zhengchuan watched from beginning to end. It was okay for him to serve the noodles himself, but his wife didn't serve any dishes for him. He felt a little aggrieved.
During this period, Su Li hurriedly ate her meals and then started reading. Xie Zhengchuan was the one who helped the children boil water for washing and helping them with their homework and playing.
Now that she finally has some free time, she feels really contented watching her little cubs slurping up the delicious noodles.
It has been a long time since she told them bedtime stories, so she must make it up to them tonight. Before, they wanted to eat candy and cakes at night, but she was afraid that it would be bad for their teeth, so she had never agreed. But they can have something tonight, it's just a once in a while.
When she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a pair of resentful eyes staring at her. She turned her head woodenly and saw her man looking at her with narrowed eyes and chin slightly raised, as if he had caught her doing something wrong.
"Ahem... I've been a bit busy lately, so tonight is a good time to relax. Mommy will tell you a bedtime story tonight, okay?"
"Really? Mom." Li Dan was so happy to hear Su Li say this. The story told by his mother was very interesting. Although his father told the story very well, he always felt excited after listening to it and couldn't sleep.
"Mom, you are so nice. I want to go out for a run every day after listening to Dad telling stories about the military camp. I can't sleep at all." Hu Zi said.
Shitou also nodded in agreement.
"Mom, can we also tell the story of Sun Wukong rescuing the beautiful Iron Fan Master and Tang Sanzang going down the mountain and meeting the Pipa Spirit?" Tiedan asked expectantly.
"Ahem...What is this?" Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Li and asked.
"God...it's from a myth." Su Li looked at Xie Zhengchuan who was squinting at her. She felt a little embarrassed and answered after swallowing hard.
"Really?" Xie Zhengchuan asked suspiciously.
"Yes...Yes, of course it is. The story I told is true. Okay, okay, hurry up and eat. You are allowed to have some sweets and cakes tonight, but you still have to drink milk!"
"Okay, Mom."
"good."
"I'll finish it as soon as possible."
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Xiao and Yi, neither of them paid much attention to him, "Hehe..."
Su Li was a little confused as to why Xie Zhengchuan was smiling in such a weird way, and his eyes looked creepy.
In the east room, Su Li was holding Baoya and leaning against the kang cabinet. "The Pipa Fairy was lying on the chaise longue and asked Tang Sanzang, Brother Sanzang, did you take a bullock cart when you went out this time? Why didn't you fly over here..."
After Xie Zhengchuan finished washing up, he came to the east room to take a look. When he heard his wife say this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Now he knew why his wife said that the story she told was exactly what she said. It turned out that it was all made up.
Seeing that the boys on the kang and Baoya in Su Li's arms were all sleeping soundly, he reached out and took Baoya, "Let me hold her. Go wash up first and go to bed early!"
Su Li blushed a little. She didn't know if Xie Zhengchuan had listened to her nonsense. After handing Baoya to him, she went to the kitchen, locked the door and entered the space to take a shower and wash her hair, put on a facial mask and drank egg white, and ate a bowl of instant fish maw and bird's nest. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, blew dry her hair, and went back to her room to rest.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I was suddenly pulled and slammed against the door.
"Ah! What are you doing? You scared me."
Su Li put her hands on Xie Zhengchuan's chest, and he just looked at her quietly without saying a word.
"Ahem...Um, let me go first, don't let the child see it."
Su Li looked towards the kang with a vague look in her eyes, but there was no sign of Baoya on the kang. Her body froze, "Where is Baoya?"
Xie Zhengchuan chuckled, "Bao Ya just woke up, I asked her if she was okay sleeping next to her brother, and she said yes."
"Wife, you were only taking care of the children tonight and didn't care about me at all. I'm not happy." He looked at her aggrievedly, his eyes full of accusations.
Su Li blushed a little, knowing that the man was jealous, "Okay, it's my fault, don't feel wronged, how can you be jealous of a child?"
"Then do you want to compensate me too?"
"You...how do you want to compensate me~" Su Li's heart trembled as she spoke. After all, she hadn't done that for many days, and she missed it a little now.
Xie Zhengchuan kissed her on the mouth, hard.
Then he raised his head and kissed her eyebrows, "That's how I make it up."
After saying that, he picked her up and gently put her on the kang.
