The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it
Chapter 9 Planting sweet potatoes
The rice bag was full and round, and the golden rice grains gleamed attractively through the gaps in the linen, as if heralding the hope of a good harvest next year.
Zhao followed closely behind, her eyes revealing her extreme reluctance to part with the two pieces of land and more than 100 kilograms of rice, her distressed expression seemed to be dripping with blood.
She covered her chest with her hands, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, and she cried extremely sadly.
"Oh, my Youfu, my son, where are you? People have come to our doorstep to bully you because you are not here. Please come back soon!"
Zhao's crying was sad and mournful, and her grief call echoed in the air, making people feel sad.
"If you don't come back, our family's wealth will be emptied out!"
She cried and spoke, her words filled with deep hope for Jiang Youfu's return.
Su Yu listened to Zhao's heart-wrenching cry and laughed in his heart: Where is he? Isn't he still tied to the tree? Jiang Youfu, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was now hanging naked on the treetop in the mountains and forests. The wind blew and the leaves rustled, as if laughing at his embarrassment.
Su Yu wondered when Jiang Youfu would be found and rescued. That scene must be very exciting and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a clear and pleasant laughter of children in the distance, accompanied by a catchy jingle: "Haha, golden butt, silver butt, the third son of the Jiang family is naked..."
The tender voice penetrated the air and reached people's hearts, attracting everyone to listen attentively.
Afterwards, Jiang Youfu was exactly as Su Yu had expected, naked, with only a lotus leaf in his hand to cover his lower body, and he swaggered into the courtyard. The scene was so shocking that it was hard to watch.
"Oh, this, this..."
The onlookers were dumbfounded and exclaimed in surprise; some stared with their eyes wide open, some covered their faces and laughed, and some shook their heads and sighed. The various expressions intertwined together to form a vivid and lively rural picture.
Jiang Youfu obviously did not expect so many people to gather at his home. He stood there in a daze for a moment. His embarrassed and helpless look made people feel pity for him.
The children poked their heads in from outside the courtyard wall and continued to sing: "Jiang Jia Sanlang has no shame, he is naked from head to toe!"
The innocent singing voice floated in the air, causing everyone to laugh.
After hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but admire: "This kid is really amazing. This poem is so interesting, vivid and rhyming. It can be called a treasure of folk art."
When Zhao saw this, she stopped crying immediately, stepped forward quickly, put one hand on her waist, waved the other, and said sternly: "Oh, you bastard, what the hell is going on?"
There was a hint of anger in her eyes, but more of it was worry and concern for her son.
"What are you still standing there for? Go back to your room."
She urged hurriedly, fearing that Jiang Youfu's embarrassing situation would be seen by more people.
At this moment, some people in the crowd were laughing out loud, some were covering their faces in disgust, and some were spitting and cursing that it was immoral... and Su Yu was naturally one of those who were laughing out loud.
Her bell-like laughter pierced through the noisy crowd like a string of cheerful notes, adding a bit of levity and humor to the farce.
It was not until Jiang Ziling came over and took her backpack that Su Yu realized that she had never taken off the backpack after returning for so long.
The backpack was filled with dead branches and leaves she had cut down on the mountain. It was so heavy that it made her shoulders ache slightly.
Jiang Ziling looked at her distressedly and said softly, "You must be tired. Go back to the room and rest for a while. I'll go make lunch."
Su Yu returned to the house and drank several glasses of cold water. The cool water slid down her throat and moistened her dry mouth. The smile on her face did not diminish due to fatigue, but became even brighter: "This time your third brother has been embarrassed to the extreme. Let's see if he dares to provoke me again!"
There was a hint of pride and provocation in her tone, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with Jiang Youfu's lesson.
Seeing her so happy, Jiang Ziling also smiled, his eyes full of doting: "Of course!"
He gently stroked Su Yu's hair, and the gentle movement was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples.
Su Yu put down the cup and said to Jiang Ziling mysteriously, "Guess what I found on the mountain today?"
Her eyes sparkled with a cunning light, as if she was hiding some treasure.
"what?"
Jiang Ziling pretended to be very curious and asked even though he knew the answer.
Su Yu excitedly turned over the firewood in the backpack, revealing several huge sweet potatoes hidden underneath.
The sweet potato has bright skin, plump shape, and a faint scent of earth. You can tell at a glance that it is a freshly unearthed good product.
Jiang Ziling was also surprised when he saw this. He picked up a piece of sweet potato and looked at it carefully: "Where did you dig it from?"
His eyes were full of admiration and curiosity.
Su Yu told the truth, feeling quite proud: "Look how lucky I am. My family just ran out of food, and I dug up these sweet potatoes on the mountain. God is really helping us."
Her words were filled with love and satisfaction for life. Her optimism and tenacity deeply moved Jiang Ziling.
He knew that this seemingly weak woman actually had an extremely strong heart. No matter how many difficulties and challenges life gave her, she could always face them with a smile and use her wisdom and courage to inject endless hope and vitality into their lives.
Jiang Ziling stood there, feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy.
What is sad is that the sweet potatoes that I worked so hard to grow secretly were mistaken by others as wild fruits given by nature, and they were picked happily, while others are still unaware of this and are immersed in the joy of the sudden harvest.
This misplaced joy was like a funhouse mirror, reflecting the helpless bitter smile in Jiang Ziling's heart.
However, what made people laugh was that Su Yu's smile seemed to have magical power, as warm and bright as the spring sunshine, and with a gentle touch, it dispelled the haze in Jiang Ziling's heart.
Her laughter was clear and sweet, like the sound of a mountain spring, and it easily opened Jiang Ziling's tightly closed heart, making his already heavy mood involuntarily lighten up with her happiness.
Su Yu keenly captured the subtle changes in Jiang Ziling's mood. The concern and confusion in her eyes prompted her to stop what she was doing and ask with concern.
Under her gentle and firm gaze, Jiang Ziling finally plucked up the courage and told the truth about the "wild" sweet potato.
"What did you say? Those so-called wild sweet potatoes were actually grown by you?"
Su Yu opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Jiang Ziling lowered his head slightly and nodded silently, acknowledging the fact. A hint of sadness quietly flowed in his eyes, but he suppressed it forcefully.
