After the two little ones were born, the Su family was busy taking care of the children. After all, taking care of two children at the same time is not an easy task.

At night, Su's father usually takes care of everything, while during the day, Aunt Zeng and Su Weixi take care of the baby together. Su's mother was more or less exhausted from giving birth to the baby, and both Su's father and Su Weixi didn't want her to work so hard.

The first difficulty encountered in taking care of the babies for more than a month was that Su Ma’s breast milk was not enough for two children to eat at the same time, so she took out the milk powder in Su Weixi’s space and fed it to the two little ones.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the younger sister didn't want to drink formula, only breast milk. Her brother, on the other hand, was not picky about food at all, and was fine with breast milk or formula. So in the end, Su's father decided to let the brother drink formula and the younger sister drink breast milk, which would also reduce a lot of burden on Su's mother.

In fact, if the younger sister wasn’t such a picky eater, Dad Su would have wanted both children to drink milk powder, and Mom Su would have been completely relieved. But there was nothing she could do about her younger sister’s picky eater.

The two little ones have been well taken care of in the past month. The younger sister has gradually grown from being thin and frail to being plump and white. The older brother is relatively strong and has a good appetite, so he still looks a size bigger than his younger sister.

The reason why they still called each other brother and sister was because the three members of the Su family had not yet decided what names to give the two children. Even before Su's mother gave birth, everyone had thought of many names, but now they were still very confused.

The Su family was not originally from this dynasty, and they did not pay much attention to some rules, so they did not hold the third-day bath. Dad Su wanted Mom Su to have a good confinement after the baby was born, and considering that her vitality was seriously damaged, he forced Mom Su to have a double confinement. Even if Mom Su, the obstetrician and gynecologist in her previous life, objected forcefully, she could not convince Dad Su.

Seeing that the two children were already more than two months old, and Su Ma had been out of confinement for some time. Su Weixi and Su Ma both thought that they should hold a hundred-day banquet for the two children and invite everyone in the valley to have a lively meal together.

It is also urgent to name the two children. We can't always call them brother and sister.

After the three members of the Su family discussed for a night, the names of the two children were finally decided.

Their nicknames are An An and Ning Ning, which were given by Su Weixi in the hope that their younger brothers and sisters can live a peaceful and smooth life.

Their full names are Su Weijin and Su Weiyang, named after their father and mother Su, hoping that the elder brother would be careful in his words and deeds, and the younger sister would be Changle Weiyang.

When the two children were 100 days old, the Su family held a 100-day banquet for them. Everyone gave the two children many gifts.

Mr. Fu gave a pen and a painting he made, Dr. Lin gave each of the two children a bottle of detoxification pills, and Qing'er gave two longevity locks.

Others also gave gifts that were very suitable for the two children or carried blessing meanings. Several female elders gave gifts of clothes, shoes and hats that they had made themselves.

In the cabin, apart from Nanny Sun and Cook Li who came to lend a hand from time to time, and Doctor Lin who came to check on the two children from time to time, everyone else saw them for the first time at the Hundred Days Banquet.

An An and Ning Ning were wearing new red and pink clothes respectively, which were made for them by Nanny Zeng herself. They looked particularly festive and made their skin look even whiter.

Su Weixi also put a red dot on their foreheads with lipstick, which made them look even cuter. Besides, the two children always smiled happily no matter who teased them, like the fairies under the Queen Mother's throne.

After An An and Ning Ning’s hundred-day banquet, the spring ploughing season has arrived.

Su Weixi thought that because it was difficult to cultivate paddy fields, the Su family did not have the energy and time, and the rice in his own space was enough, so he had only planted wheat and corn.

But we can't just sit there and do nothing. The secret guards guarding the valley can also help, so we are thinking of reclaiming a few acres of paddy fields this year.

After Su Weixi made her plans, she told her father and mother about her plan. Naturally, they supported their daughter's idea, so her father went to talk to the secret guards about it, and they agreed to help.

However, after Mr. Fu saw Mr. Su and a group of young men reclaiming paddy fields, he kept pestering Mr. Su and asking him whether the rice yield in his family would be higher than that of other places, just like wheat.

The rice seeds that the Su family wants to use are stored in modern times, and the yield will definitely be higher than the rice seeds of the current dynasty. But Su's father can't tell him directly, because the Su family used to be hunters and didn't have any land.

I only told Mr. Fu that I didn't know the yield of this rice, and that it was the rice seeds left by the old hunter. In short, the rice hasn't been planted yet, and the Su family won't say anything, leaving some room for explanation for their family, and throwing all the reasons to the "old hunter" who made up their own story.

Although Father Su did not give a clear explanation, Elder Fu always had a feeling that the rice yield would definitely not be low. Because not to mention the wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that the Su family had grown before, even the rice that he usually ate at the Su family was different from the rice bought on the market.

It’s almost as good as the imperial tribute rice I ate in the capital before.

Therefore, Mr. Fu was extremely confident about the rice that the Su family would grow in the future, and he felt a bit of anticipation and excitement in his heart.

The paddy field was reclaimed on a piece of silt land not far from the lake. It looked fertile and it was convenient to bring water to the fields when the time came.

With the help of a group of secret guards, Su Weixi and Su Ma no longer had to work in the fields. Su Ma stayed at home to take care of the children, and Su Weixi was responsible for cooking for everyone every day. After all, they were working for their family, so they had to eat and drink well.

Father Su brought a group of secret guards and worked for a month. They reclaimed five acres of paddy fields and dug a canal. They just needed to build a road to connect it to the previous canal.

The cultivated paddy fields still need to be maintained. Dad Su goes there from time to time to spread fertilizer and turn the fields over again and again.

And Su Weixi also started to grow seedlings.

The first step is soaking. Put the prepared rice seeds into a bucket and soak them for two to three days. During this period, wash the rice seeds two to three times, change the water and salvage the empty rice seeds floating on the water.

The next step is germination. The grain seeds are salvaged and put into a cloth bag, placed on a wooden board, and covered with cloth to maintain the temperature, and the seeds are germinated until they are ready for sowing.

The last step is sowing. A piece of rice field is opened and made into mud, then germinated rice seeds are sprinkled on it. Finally, insulation film should be covered, but there was no such film in this dynasty, so Su Weixi used oilcloth instead.

Su Weixi didn't know that his seedling cultivation made Mr. Fu feel very strange, because nowadays when planting rice, everyone sowed the rice seeds directly into the fields.

However, Mr. Fu did not raise his own questions, and he also told Shitou and others not to ask. He only lent a hand when the Su family needed help, worked more, and talked less.

Mr. Fu himself was also carefully observing Su Weixi's every move, and it was Su Weixi who finally noticed it.

He told Mr. Fu openly that this method was what the old hunter had told Mr. Su about before, and that it was the first time his family had tried it, and that he would record it down like he had done with other crops.

Mr. Fu immediately felt that this girl was very insightful. She knew what he was thinking just by looking at her a few more times.
