The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

He said slowly, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

When Su Yu heard this, his face immediately showed joy, and the crisp applause was like the sound of spring water, breaking the silence in the room.

"That's right! We really are in perfect sync with each other!"

She smiled brightly, obviously surprised and relieved by Jiang Ziling's quick understanding.

Jiang Ziling smiled calmly, as if all this was within his expectations. "How difficult is this? Xier and I just need to put in a little more effort."

Just as the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful, Su Yu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the blisters on Jiang Ziling's hands caused by grinding the medicine powder for a long time, and a surge of heartache suddenly surged in his heart.

Every gram of those precious medicinal powders contains their hard work and sweat, especially Jiang Ziling's hands, which should have been used to hold a pen and write ink, but are now covered with scars due to constant labor.

She said distressedly, "I will prepare some special ointment for you tonight to take good care of these wounds."

Jiang Ziling raised his hand pretending to be relaxed and smiled calmly: "Ah, Ayu, you are always so considerate. My hands were never so delicate before. If I rub them a few more times, the blisters will hide away wisely."

This made Su Yu burst into laughter, and a hint of gentle reproach flashed in his eyes, "You are the only one who talks nonsense."

In an atmosphere of warmth and jokes, Xiao Xier pulled Su Yu's clothes and excitedly led her to the bamboo basket where the chicks and ducklings were placed.

There was a gleam of anticipation in Xier's eyes. Her little fingers kept moving back and forth between the little animals in the basket and the vast world outside, silently expressing her wish - to let these little lives run and play freely in the yard.

Looking at Xier's expectant face, Su Yu felt mixed emotions.

These chickens and ducks were so weak when they first arrived, and the weather has been changeable and rainy recently, so she was afraid they would get sick, so she kept them in cages all the time, planning to release them into the wild when they grew up.

Under Xier's careful care, they have indeed thrived, and the small cage has become cramped.

However, considering the possible dangers outside the yard, Su Yu was still hesitant.

After careful consideration, Su Yu proposed a compromise to Xier: "Why don't we build a small fenced area around the backyard of the house? This way, they can enjoy the freedom and sunshine outdoors without getting lost."

She warned him earnestly, "But you have to make sure you feed them on time and bring them back to their cages in time when it gets dark or rains. Can you do that?"

Xier nodded solemnly, with a gleam of responsibility in her eyes.

Looking at Xi'er who was eager to take action, Su Yu turned to Jiang Ziling and said softly: "Looking at the situation, I have a lot to do today. Your hand is still injured, so you don't have to force yourself to grind the medicinal materials. Take your time and don't rush."

After he finished speaking, before Jiang Ziling could respond, Xier excitedly pulled Su Yu and hurried to the back of the house.

As Su Yu moved, his eyes naturally fell on the lush bamboo forest not far away, which would be the perfect source of materials for building the fence area.

She whispered, "Go get a sickle and enough rope for mom."

Xier gladly accepted the order and ran towards the bamboo forest, jumping and skipping, leaving a trail of happy footprints behind her.

After a while, accompanied by crisp breaking sounds, several bamboos fell down. They swayed gently in the breeze for a few times, and finally lay on the moist soil.

Su Yu is very skilled, as if she has some kind of tacit understanding with the bamboo. She deftly measures the bamboos one by one, and then accurately cuts them into pieces about one meter in length. Every movement reveals her familiarity and love for this job.

Afterwards, the lively Xier took over the task of carrying the things. Although she was young, she was very strong. Her little face was flushed red and her eyes were shining with excitement. She seemed to be extremely proud of this "important task".

Every time she picked up a bamboo, her steps were extremely firm, and she didn't care even if sweat rolled down her cheeks.

Su Yu took the bamboo handed to her by Xier and once again demonstrated her deft hands. She gently but forcefully split the bamboo into two halves, her movements flowing with a rhythm.

Then, she carefully inserted one end of the bamboo deeply into the soil, making each one stand firmly as if marking a new boundary for the land.

By repeating this process many times, a circle gradually takes shape, surrounding the cabin, which is both practical and ingenious.

By the time the fence finally enclosed this small world, the sun had quietly sunk to the west, and the sky was painted a brilliant golden red, adding a bit of warmth and romance to this ordinary scene.

Su Yu stood in front of the fruits of his labor, his chest heaving, gasping for breath from exhaustion, but his eyes revealed satisfaction and relief.

She turned to Xi'er, who was sweating and looking accomplished, and said softly, "It looks like we can only let them out to play tomorrow."

Xier nodded sensibly, and the smile on her little face looked particularly bright under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Su Yu held the sickle covered with dirt and bamboo chips and walked slowly back into the house. Her waist seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and every step seemed so difficult.

The pain in her back reminded her of how hard she had worked today.

Thinking of dinner, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to herself: Whoever wants to do it can do it. Anyway, I can't move anymore. I just want to lie down immediately and let my tired body get some relief.

Just as this thought was circling in my mind, a burst of brisk footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a warm and familiar voice, as if some uninvited helper had arrived.

This sudden "visitor" undoubtedly brought Su Yu an unexpected surprise, and also added a bit of warmth and anticipation to this small house that had been busy all day.

Xie Xinghua stood under the shelter of the old eaves, her body slightly stiff, her hands unconsciously rubbing the edge of her clothes, as if this could calm her inner anxiety.

The words came to his lips, but seemed to be caught in an invisible net and swallowed back, leaving behind silence and expectation.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Su Yu's voice was gentle and kind, like the warm sunshine in early spring, gently shining in an attempt to dispel the awkwardness in the air.

Xie Xinghua lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously entangled with the corner of her clothes, a hint of hesitation and embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "Well, I've divided the family property and haven't had time to buy all the pots and pans yet. Can you lend me your kitchen?"

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed and her embarrassment was evident.

This is not just a small matter of borrowing a room to cook a meal. Rebuilding a kitchen is a cumbersome project, which will take at least ten days and at most half a month. In addition, the pace of life among neighbors is similar, and deliberately staggering the cooking time will undoubtedly add a lot of inconvenience to Su Yu's family.
