Chapter 40: Shen Ye Plants Sweet Potatoes
When Yan Yiyi woke up the next day, she felt tired and weak, and had no energy at all.
After Xin Ye helped his adoptive father wash, eat, and go to the toilet, he came back to help his wife wash, change clothes, and eat. He only ate his breakfast in one go last.
But he enjoyed doing all of this.
However, he would be even happier if his father could take care of himself and he could squeeze out more time to take care of his wife.
Yan Yiyi was worried that the sweet potato vines that were cut last night would wilt, affecting their growth, so she asked him to help her go to the field together. She sat on the edge of the field and directed Xin Ye to plant the crops.
In the eyes of the villagers not far away, this scene seemed like Yan Yiyi was a lazy woman who relied on her own abilities to enslave Xin Ye to work in the fields.
You have to know that before Xin Ye married her, he had never worked on the land. Even when life was difficult, he would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and hunt. How could he have ever planted crops?
Looking at Xin Ye dragging his lame leg to plant vegetables in the field, huh? What is that? I don't think I've seen it before.
A row of sweet potato seedlings was planted quickly, and the next step was to water them.
Usually, the villagers fetch water from a small pond at the foot of the mountain to water the vegetables. The water there is spring water flowing down from the mountain, but there is not much, just a small column of water, which is just enough for the villagers to water the vegetables every day.
If it doesn't rain often, the spring water in the mountains will decrease, and the water in the pond will also decrease. The villagers will have to go to the river at the head of the village to fetch water to water the vegetable fields at the end of the village.
The same thing happened to Aunt Qi and her family, who were on good terms with the Xinye family. They did not go to the Xinye family's well to fetch water, for fear that they would set a precedent and have other people in the village come to their house to fetch water.
Yan Yiyi's eyes widened in shock when she heard what Xin Ye said: "No, they are idiots. Why don't they dig a ditch to bring the river water from the village head here? It will solve the problem once and for all, so why don't they do it?"
"I asked Uncle Zhang Wu, and he said that there was no one to preside over it. When someone proposed it, someone else opposed it, and after a lot of arguing, it ended up in nothing."
"Who objects? What are the reasons for the objection?"
"It seems that some people find it tiring, while others think that there is enough water in the pond and there is no need to go through so much trouble." Xin Ye was also speechless. Isn't it tiring to go all the way to the village to fetch water?
"Anyway, we only have three acres of dry land, so the water from our well is more than enough."
Yan Yiyi thought about it and it made sense. How other people lived was their business. As long as it didn't affect her interests, it was fine.
Xin Ye went to the pond in two trips and fetched two buckets of water for watering. After taking care of the sweet potato seedlings, Xin Ye suggested watering the other vegetables as well, so they wouldn't have to be watered at night.
Yan Yiyi nodded and still sat on the edge of the field, watching him leaning on a bamboo pole, dragging his lame leg, fetching water back again and again to irrigate the fields. He looked very pitiful.
Yan Yiyi was well aware of his physical strength. He just looked tired, but in fact, a bucket of water was as light as a piece of clothing to him.
The villagers were standing far away and couldn't see the leisurely look on his face. They could only imagine him working hard on the farm based on his movements, and secretly complained in their hearts that he had married a lazy woman.
The scene of Yan Yiyi beating up Li Laizi and his wife in front of everyone that day was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Therefore, without her knowing it, she had become a synonym for a shrew.
Some women in the village scolded their daughters-in-law by saying, "Do you think you are Li Guizi's wife? You are being rude to me, but do you have the ability to be as rude as that person?"
Scolding your own daughter is like "You can't get anything out of her even with a stick. If she marries someone else, won't she be tortured by her in-laws? Can't you learn from Li Quezi's wife?"
At noon, Yan Yiyi taught Xin Ye how to steam two sweet potatoes.
"Take one and give it to your father-in-law to try. You and your father-in-law haven't eaten it yet. It's delicious, but don't eat too much, or you'll get bloated. One or two is just right."
Xin Ye did not refuse and gave a small one to Father Li.
Father Li stared at the sweet potato, confirming that he had never seen this food before: "What is this?"
"This is called sweet potato. My wife dug it up in the mountains yesterday."
Father Li felt relieved to see the corners of his mouth curl up when he mentioned his daughter-in-law. It seemed that he was really interested in the girl.
He didn't hesitate to eat the sweet potato. The sweet potato was sticky and sweet, with a refreshing sweet fragrance, and tasted really good.
Father Li felt a little unsatisfied.
Xin Ye saw through it and said with a smile: "We have already planted the sweet potatoes. In a few months, we will be able to harvest a lot of them. Then you can eat them every day if you want."
"Okay, I'll wait." If I were still alive, I would definitely enjoy the meal.
Before leaving the room, Xin Ye paused, turned around, looked at Father Li, and said, "I have found two materials for developing an antidote for you, and my wife has found another. In a while, we will be able to detoxify you."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Father Li with a look of surprise.
He opened his mouth, and the final word turned into "brat".
But he ignited the hope in my heart.
He did not ask why the antidote could not be made for him now. If the herbs were there, he would not have said a word and would have directly brought the antidote to him and fed it to him.
He just didn't know what kind of trouble he was in, or whether his life was in danger. If there was danger, he didn't want him to take the risk.
Xin Ye returned to the kitchen to have lunch with Yan Yiyi. There was a sweet potato on the table. He took it and broke it into two pieces, then handed the bigger end to her.
Yan Yiyi saw all of this and did not reject it. Why should she reject her man's feelings?
She took most of the sweet potato with peace of mind and took a light bite. It was not the improved variety later, so it was not very sweet and a bit chewy. The taste was relatively not very good, but it was really fragrant.
Emm…trading with the Seventies doesn’t seem so useless after all.
After eating and drinking, Yan Yiyi yawned and went back to her room to catch up on some sleep.
Xin Ye originally wanted to hug his sweet and soft wife and lie down for a while, but when he passed by the table, he stopped and turned to look at the jar of medicinal honey on the table.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: What is the definition of collecting medicinal materials in space?
Must he pick them himself?
Must we plant on space land?
He couldn't help but pick up the jar of medicinal honey and thought about it. It was just a try, so it should be fine, right?
Another voice in my mind quickly stopped me: No, no, no, what if I get swallowed by that space? This is my father's life-saving medicine!
Yes, if you want to experiment, you can try another medicinal material, but there is no need to rush. You can’t mess around with dad’s life-saving medicine!
His lack of urgency lasted only a day.
The next morning, he went to water the crops in the field first, then came back to help his father get up, wash, and eat. He also coaxed his wife to get up and eat, and personally took care of her washing, changing clothes, and combing her hair.
He didn't bother her last night and had a good rest. She didn't need him to feed her today, but he seemed a little anxious today. Did something happen?
