Arrival in Another World 020, Farming (Part 2)
Although Su Lianwei said so, Zhao didn't believe it. The small palm continued to slap the back of Dahu's head violently, "Your wife is just a bit fat, but women who are fat give birth easily. You're still young and don't understand anything, yet you dare to look down on my daughter Lianwei."
The farm woman, who had been working in the fields for many years, was not weak. With a loud thud, she hit the big tiger's head again and again, making it ring loudly. The big tiger did not dare to fight back, but could only run around and hide, looking very embarrassed. However, he did not dare to escape, fearing that Su Lianhui would reveal his secret. He could only suffer injustice and endure the beating.
Tears streaming down her face, she rushed forward and grabbed onto Zhao's mother, "Auntie, Big Tiger really didn't steal the food!"
"Look at your wife, she's so biased towards you. You've done such a despicable thing, and she's still making excuses for you. Tell me, do you think you're worthy of your wife?"
"......" Big Tiger stood by, speechless with rage, his lungs almost bursting. This damned Su Liangwei, what nonsense was she spouting!
"Great Aunt, he really didn't steal food, he...he...he gambled!" Lianyi said hastily.
Gambling!?! Big Tiger stopped in his tracks, looking at Su Lianwei in disbelief as he continued to spin a more and more absurd tale. He dared to swear to heaven that he had never gambled even once in this lifetime!
"Really?" Zhao stopped and asked Su Lianwei.
Lianyi nodded like pounding garlic, "En... is... yes, this guy lost all the food at home, my family is starving."
The big tiger continued to stare at the woman who lied without blinking, no food because he gambled? It was obviously her own extravagance!
She gave Da Hu a sideways glance, "Isn't gambling better than messing around with women?"
Women are a strange creature, compared to men's promiscuity and gambling, they can tolerate more. Although in ancient times it was polygamy, but that was the game of the rich, in this poor and remote place, it is monogamous, not that they don't want to marry, but they can't afford to, slowly, it also formed a custom.
"Ah, I see," Zhao finally stopped struggling. "Lian Yu, men all have some bad habits, but your husband Da Hu is just a bit foolish and likes to gamble, he doesn't go around messing around, as a woman you should be more tolerant." She then began lecturing Su Lian Yu.
"...". Lianyi could only nod and listen, "En en, yes, yes, Eldest Aunt is right."
Dahai disdainfully glanced at Su Lianwei, who raised his head and saw Dahai's scornful gaze. He glared back at him, "You'd better say something too, do you think you're justified in losing money?" As he spoke, he stared at Dahai with a threatening glare.
Dà Hǔ wú nài, àn àn yǎo le yǎo chǐ, què yòu ná Sū Lián Yī méi bànfǎ, "dà... bó mǔ, jiào xùn de... shì." Jīhū cóng yá fèn zhōng jǐ chū zhè xiē huà.
"Well, that's the way it should be. We're not rich, but as long as we work together and help each other, we can live a good life and make every day count. Don't you think?" Zhao continued to nag and instruct the two of them.
"En en, shi shi." The two of them helplessly nodded in agreement.
When Zhao saw that she was about to launch into a long and tedious speech, Lianyi hastily changed the subject. "Auntie, take a look at this field, did Dahu do a good job with it?" This remark was bound to invite ridicule, as the lush green weeds were so thick that a lawnmower could easily cut out an entire football field from them - how could that be considered a good job?
Zhao squatted down and pulled out a handful of weeds, "Big Tiger, what's this?"
The big tiger didn't make a sound.
Lianyi reached out and poked him hard, "Your aunt is asking you a question, don't pretend to be mute."
The big tiger furrowed his brow tightly and finally shook his head, "I don't know."
"Don't you know?" Ling Yu was taken aback. "You yourself planted something, how can you not know?"
The big tiger raised an eyebrow, his face expressionless as usual, "Your dad gave me the seeds, I've planted them all." His tone was very innocent.
Ripples cried and laughed, "Don't you ask what kind of seed it is?"
"It will be clear what it is once it comes out." Da Hu replied calmly.
Lianyi rubbed her temples with her hand, "Don't you know that every crop has a different way of planting?"
"I don't know."
“……”
"It's wheat," Zhao interrupted the two men, "Big Tiger, this wheat should have been planted after harvesting corn in early autumn. Now is not suitable."
"...". The two looked at each other and didn't understand, being outsiders in farming.
"It's only in the north that they plant spring wheat, in our warm place we all plant winter wheat. If you planted wheat in the spring here, people would laugh at you and it wouldn't be harvested until next year. At this time of year, either plant some corn or vegetables, then later you can pick them and sell them in town, earning some money." said Zhao.
The two nodded silently, listening.
This image really makes me think of a young couple who have just started their life together and are still learning how to live with each other.
Mr. Zhao turned his head, the more he looked at these two children, the more he felt they were a good match, and the smile on his face was even more kind. "You don't have to rush either, this life is lived one step at a time, experience will come slowly, now these seeds are wasted, even if you remove the weeds, but the wheat is not planted evenly, the harvest won't be too good in the future, listen to your aunt, plant vegetables instead."
Lianyi nodded, "Everything will be done according to Eldest Aunt's wishes."
Dahu felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, although he wouldn't say it out loud, but this land was turned over by him, the seeds were planted by him, and a month's hard work would be gone just like that, it's impossible not to feel the pain.
Under the fierce stare of Lian Yi, Da Hu finally swallowed his resentment back.
Then, Zhao taught the two of them how to use farm tools and the method of planting rice. He also took them to clear away the weeds and seedlings from before, and re-plowed a piece of land. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
"Ripples, you must be tired." Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Lianyi only felt that her hands holding the shovel were burning with pain, and the not-so-heavy shovel now weighed a thousand catties. "No, it's just that Auntie is being troubled, at such an old age she still has to bring us to turn over the soil, really can't bear it." How could she not be tired? Her whole body didn't have a single comfortable spot, all sore.
Zhao patted Lianyi's shoulder with his hand and said, "Lianyi is a good kid, how did she get spread so badly?"
The latter can only smile bitterly, why? Because someone has been replaced in his body.
The big tiger, a man who has been practicing martial arts for many years, was exhausted from doing this kind of work for so long. The exhaustion from farming and the exhaustion from practicing martial arts are different, and it's even more torturous. He straightened his waist, pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe away sweat, with an elegant yet dignified demeanor.
"Oh right, Lianyue hasn't had lunch yet, it's already past lunchtime." Zhao suddenly thought of this, and now it was afternoon.
Lianlian suddenly remembered that, not to mention lunch, Dahu hadn't even eaten breakfast. After she finished eating in the morning, she brought a food box to see Tian Di, and her temper didn't match up with his. The food box was still quietly placed beside him, and Dahu had gone hungry for the whole day.
"Big Tiger, you must be starving!" he asked in a hurry.
The latter gave her a white eye and was too lazy to answer.
"Ripples, let's go, and head back home with Auntie to have lunch. Auntie will make you your favorite childhood dish - scrambled eggs with scallions."
