I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

There was enough oil and water yesterday, so Xu Si didn’t feel hungry when he woke up in the morning.

Su Jinyue cooked today. After everything was cleaned up, Xu Si decided to start new work.

"Mom, please borrow a rake from Aunt Zhao. I plan to clear this area and sow some seeds. Then we will have enough vegetables to eat and save some money."

Lou Yuexin was originally preparing to go back to her room to embroider, but upon hearing this she immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

I put my clothes in order and went out.

Qinghuan and Qining stopped looking at the chicken and curiously followed her gaze.

The open space is not big, only 8 square meters.

"Second sister-in-law, can vegetables really grow?"

"It should be possible," Xu Si was not very sure. She had never farmed before, but it shouldn't be difficult. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well give it a try.

When Lou Yuexin came back, she was holding a shovel and a rake in her hands.

"Your Aunt Zhao said that both of these tools would be needed for digging the land, so she asked me to bring them back."

She held them up curiously to look at the two tools that were said to be very useful.

In the past, she would never have dared to imagine that she would live in such a small house, cook for herself every day, and even farm.

Xu Si used a shovel to shovel the edges first, fixed the approximate position, and then slowly loosened the soil.

Each time she thrust her sword into the soil, it was very hard because it had never been cultivated and there were some stones in it. Even though she was very strong, she was sweating.

Lou Yuexin was not in a hurry to embroider, and just watched from the side with Qinghuan and the others.

"A Si, let me turn the soil, you take a rest." Seeing Xu Si's appearance, she took a towel and wiped Xu Si.

"No need, Mom. I don't think you can turn it over." It's not that Xu Si looked down on her, but only after she started doing the job did she realize how difficult it was.

But after a while, she felt her hands were a little sore.

Lou Yuexin also thought about her own strength, so she had to help Xu Si pour water and wipe his sweat with concern, while Qinghuan was responsible for throwing the turned-over stones to the wall.

"Can we farm like this?" Qinghuan asked.

“Should we still apply fertilizer?”

"Fertilizer? What is that?"

"It's the things in our toilet." Xu Si wiped the sweat off his forehead and patted his sore waist.

The thought of fertilizing made her feel a little nauseous.

When everyone heard this, they also thought of this aspect.

Lou Yuexin hesitated, "Do we really need to use those?"

"Yes, otherwise it probably won't grow. This land is too barren."

There are still chemical fertilizers in modern times, but now we can only use organic fertilizers, which are guaranteed to be pure natural.

Xu Si encouraged himself. There was a matching shovel and wooden barrel in the toilet. They looked very old and should have been left behind by the previous family.

Since moving in, I haven't cleaned the pit toilet and there is a lot of accumulated dirt.

It’s a really “interesting” and difficult task.

Looking at the unspeakable things in the pit, Xu Si closed her eyes, unable to bear to look at it. She wrapped the grip of the old shovel in her hand with a piece of rag. She prepared herself mentally for a long time, but still couldn't start.

"Second sister-in-law, how about I do it?" Shen Qinghuan's voice rang out.

"You? This stinks." Xu Si held back the dry heave that was about to come out of his throat and said with bated breath.

"I'm not afraid of the smell," Qinghuan also wanted to join the farming process. Since she couldn't turn the soil, she could apply fertilizer.

Xu Si shook her head. Qinghuan was too small to be shoveled out, and she was afraid that the weight of her hands would make her fall into the toilet again.

"Let me do it," Su Jinyue volunteered after listening to them struggling outside.

"Put it here, right?"

Without waiting for Xu Si to react, she walked forward, took the shovel, and started shoveling inside.

"That's enough, we need to add some more water." Seeing that half the bucket was already full after a few shovelfuls, Xu Si urgently called a halt.

The stench in the air became more and more obvious, but Su Jinyue's expression did not change much.

It can save some money and Jingchuan can suffer less, but it's a little smelly, which is nothing. Su Jinyue carried the bucket to the reclaimed land.

Qinghuan took the initiative to get some water and added it in.

Su Jinyue stirred it with a wooden stick, rolled up her sleeves and started pouring water on it.

"Sister-in-law, you are really this," Xu Si gave her a thumbs up, really admiring her.

When Xu Si turned the watered land again, Su Jinyue picked up a new bucket of fertilizer and applied it carefully.

The yard was filled with a stench, and Xu Si even felt a little regretful.

But now that things have come to this, we can only move on.

Under Xu Si's guidance, Lou Yuexin also picked up the rake and flattened the ground. At this point, the task was accomplished.

"Oh my god, did the toilet at home explode? Ugh~"

Shen Yanchen went home on time for dinner, and as soon as he entered the door he smelled the air stinking.

"Ugh," he quickly hid in the house.

Several people were sitting at the dining table, all looking very bad.

"The toilet at home wasn't blown up, that was fertilizer, do you understand?" Lou Yuexin understood it anyway, and looked at her son as if he were an ignorant person.

Shen Yanchen didn't understand, nor did he want to understand. He had never been exposed to this since he was a child. To put it more simply, as long as he wanted, he didn't have to go to the toilet by himself.

"How disgusting," he felt he couldn't stay at home anymore.

Smelling the stench, several people could not eat, and Qi Ning became listless.

This time, Xu Si didn't need to say anything. Shen Yanchen took the lunch box and ran away from this place.

"Why don't we go out for a walk?"

Xu Si proposed and gained everyone's agreement.

When I went out, I heard the neighbors around me cursing about whose house was so smelly. They were too embarrassed to stop and walked away quickly.

Since they had no idea where to go, they decided to go to the pier and come back together in the evening.

The pier is located at the junction of the East and West Markets. It is crowded with people, and many large and small boats are moored there. People in luxurious clothes gather together and chat. There are many restaurants and shops around, but even more are laborers.

Shen Anyi and others were sitting on the ground eating. Shen Yanchen was bored and holding a leaf in his mouth, his eyes wandering somewhere unknown.

"Why are you here?" Noticing their approach, Shen Anyi quickly stood up and asked.

"Is the house too smelly and you can't stand it anymore?" Shen Yanchen twitched his eyebrows.

"What's going on?" Shen Anyi was a little confused and bewildered.

"I just turned over a piece of land at home, prepared to grow vegetables, and then applied some fertilizer." Lou Yuexin explained simply.

Although Shen Anyi had never applied fertilizer before, he knew a little about it and had an idea after hearing this.

"Then find a shady place to sit, out of the sun."

After dinner, they had no time to chat and went back to work.

The two men were carrying objects that were larger than themselves with steady steps. A closer look revealed that their backs were bent, and their furrowed brows told how difficult the job was.

The others had painful expressions on their faces and moved slowly, with the supervisor urging them to hurry up.

One of them suddenly lost his balance and fell to the side with a loud noise, attracting everyone's attention. The next moment, they seemed not to have seen anything and continued to do their own things numbly. They were unable to take care of themselves, so how could they care about others?

The supervisor came over in a hurry, but he was not looking at the people, but the goods.

"Be careful. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"

He checked it carefully and found that there was no damage. Then he put away his worried expression and continued to give orders in a proud manner.

Xu Si couldn't help but sigh that when a person from the lower class has power in his hands, he will use this power to the extreme, making things difficult for everyone who can be made difficult for him. He is ruthless and completely unsympathetic.

The man nodded in response and struggled to get up.

Shen Jingchuan hesitated for a moment, gently put the things on his back on the ground, and pulled him.

The other party thanked him in a low voice, and got up using the force. He did not dare to rest, and immediately picked up the goods again, gritted his teeth and moved forward. Upon closer inspection, veins on his forehead were exposed, and when he fell, he used his hand to support himself, and there was bleeding from that place.

"Mom, you see, it's not easy. I'm not being lazy on purpose, I really can't bear it." Shen Yanchen said when he got the chance.

Lou Yuexin didn't say anything, feeling inexplicably sad. They used to enjoy a comfortable life, but for the first time they were faced with the difficulty of survival for the poor.

Especially seeing their family members like this, this was the first time they saw how they worked. Normally, they felt heartbroken when they saw the injuries on their bodies, and now their eyes were even more sore. However, they felt more and more that growing vegetables was right.

When Shen Anyi and the others occasionally looked over, they tried hard to force a smile.
