My delicate husband

Chapter 142 Busy Spring Plowing

The annual spring plowing is here. This year, the entire process of blue eucalyptus farming is handed over to Brother Xu and Brother Han. The fat cows at home also have to work. Brother Man feels a little distressed. After all, he is the one who raises all the livestock in the family and takes great care of them.

Lan An did not expect that Zhang Xiaohua would come to visit suddenly. Although their relationship had eased a lot, except for visiting Sun Baozhu once a month, they did not visit each other at other times. What's more, spring plowing was about to begin, and the Sun family should be very busy.

Some time ago, Sun Tugen's second wife gave birth to a little boy. Sun Tugen was very cherished for this late-born child. He boiled red eggs and delivered them to each family personally. He also gave them a golden peace lock at the three-week banquet.

Of course, these were all told to Lan An by Aunt Wang. Coincidentally, the Zhang family had all gone to the county town, so they didn't know about these things.

Sun Feng was also very angry and started fighting with Sun Tugen on the spot. Sun Tugen sent her back to her parents' home. Although he did not say that he would divorce her, he would not take her back in the short term.

The villagers only discussed it briefly. Now every household was busy reclaiming wasteland and collecting firewood, so there were not many people idle around to discuss gossip.

Zhang Xiaohua did not come alone. She was holding Sun Baozhu in her arms. The three-month-old child was still quite energetic. She did not cry when she arrived in a strange place. Her little eyes were rolling around, clear and bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, curiously exploring the world around her.

Sun Baozhu has pink and delicate skin, a chubby little face, and chubby little hands. It can be seen that Zhang Xiaohua has taken good care of her. She is wearing red clothes, which looks very festive. Lan An couldn't help but pull her little hand. It is soft and has a milky smell.

"Zhang Xiaohua, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhang Xiaomo is not here today. Spring plowing has begun, and he also has to go to each village to check on the progress. Only Aunt Li and Lan An are at home.

"Ang'er, could you please look after Zhu Zhu? Spring plowing will begin tomorrow, and I have to work in the fields, so I don't have time to look after her."

"Where are your parents-in-law?"

"My father-in-law has completely separated from us now. He is focusing on taking care of my second mother and my brother-in-law. He doesn't care about Little Stone anymore. I guess my mother-in-law won't come back."

Lan An had also heard of this. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua, who had lost a lot of weight recently, and then looked at the lovely Sun Baozhu in her arms, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you can send it over tomorrow and I'll help you take care of it during this time."

Lan'an doesn't know how to take care of children, but with Aunt Li around, Lan'an is not worried.

Zhang Xiaohua was very grateful to see Lan An agreed, but she didn't stay long. After giving instructions, she went home because she still had a lot of work to do at home.

"Little boss, you are such a nice person."

"After all, she is Brother Xiaomo's biological sister."

Aunt Li didn't say much. She sent Lan Euan to the room and went to work.

Lan An is still a little uncomfortable with Zhang Xiaomo's absence these days, and his current physical condition really doesn't allow him to accompany Zhang Xiaomo.

The first batch of wine has been fermented. Lan'an asked the shopkeeper to deliver the fermented wine directly. Lan'an plans to come personally during the clarification and aging stage. The main reason is that the ancient distillation equipment is not very good, and it is easy for the white wine to have impurities, which greatly affects the quality. Besides, Lan'an also has spiritual spring water. It just so happens that there is nothing to do recently. Everyone in the Zhang family is busy with spring plowing, so Lan'an plans to clarify the fermented wine.

Zhang Xiaomo learned from his previous lessons when visiting various villages this time. He called several yamen runners to stand in front of him and not let anyone get close to him. If he accidentally let Lan An misunderstand him again, he would really want to kill people.

He still couldn't forget Lan An's broken expression, and he still felt heartbroken when he thought about it. Fortunately, the village chief of Jinshui Village was sensible and had married his brother to a man in the next county, otherwise Zhang Xiaomo would never have let it go.

It was Brother Kong’s first time to participate in spring plowing. Farming is indeed the most tiring work, much more tiring than building a house before. However, Brother Xu who works seriously is really charming.

The people sent by Brother He also reached Anzhou smoothly and found Guo Ge'er in less than two days. Guo Ge'er did not resist and took Song Hanzi back to Yunling County.

The Zhang family's spring plowing was still the fastest to be completed in Lianhua Village. With the unremitting efforts of dozens of men, the three acres of land was completely completed in just two days.

This time, Brother Xu and Brother Han prepared the farmyard manure in advance and applied it as soon as the fields were tidied.

The germination rate of rice seeds is unquestionable, and the villagers also took the initiative to take out the rice seeds at home to exchange with blue eucalyptus. Blue eucalyptus did not refuse. It can be mixed with the high-quality rice in the space and then transported to the rice shop. Now most of the food in the rice shop comes from the blue eucalyptus space.

The Zhang family spent another day to complete the sowing of rice seeds, covering the soil, and applying fertilizer. The spring plowing, which would have taken more than ten days, was completed by the Zhang family in three days.

Brother Xie and Zhu the bricklayer were not very good at farm work. Brother Xu and Brother Kong also went to help for two days. Brother Han and Brother Man had to deliver grain to the rice shop and were also responsible for the transportation of ingredients for the hot pot restaurant, so they did not go to help.

The work in the wasteland and the care of the fruit trees were left to the six people: gold, wood, water, fire, earth and yang.

Lan An always felt that it was not a good idea to let them live in the resettlement house, so he planned to buy a residential plot nearby to build a house. Lan An planned to negotiate with the Li family on the right side of the house to help them build the house for free and let them give up their original residential plot.

The Li family is relatively honest and well-behaved in the village, and Lan An has not had much contact with his family. However, he is not sure whether they will agree, so he asks Aunt Li to find out some information so that Lan An can make arrangements.

To Lan An's surprise, when the Li family heard that Lan An would build a house for them for free, they readily agreed. Lan An did not delay and bought the residential land next to the Li family. Aunt Wang's family also planned to build a house, so they bought the vacant land to the left of his house. It was still Brother Han and Jiusi who went to see the village chief together.

Brother Xie and Zhu the bricklayer were not surprised to know that Lan'an was planning to build another house. They also planned to build a house with Lan'an, and they also bought a residential plot next to it.

Over the past year or so, the village has added several blue brick and tile houses and many more wells. Li the well carpenter now has work almost every month. Over the past year or so, the villagers of Lianhua Village have seen a lot of improvements.

There are three stone shops in Yunling County. Lan An asked Brother Man to go to the one he often went to. The shopkeeper was also very surprised to see Lan An's order. He had an impression of this village. After all, it was rare to see villagers willing to spend so much money to build a house, and the Zhang family's house was very distinctive.

This time, several companies were ordering materials together. The shopkeeper was unusually generous, offering a substantial discount. Lan An immediately urged him to expedite the process. The shopkeeper built a new brick kiln and hired a skilled kiln burner, who worked tirelessly day and night, striving to produce the required bricks within two months. Lan An was very satisfied with the result.

Zhang Xiaomo was finally done after a busy week. Lan An felt very distressed as he felt that he had lost weight again. She asked Aunt Li to prepare more delicious food.

"Brother Xiaomo, you've lost weight again."

"An An, I'm sorry I haven't been with you much this week."

"It's okay. I have Zhu Zhu to accompany me, Xiao Hui Hui is always with me, and there is also Aunt Li."

"An An doesn't love me anymore, and she doesn't need me to accompany her anymore."

"That's what I want, Brother Xiaomo, huh?"

Zhang Xiaomo didn't expect that Lan'an had dealt with a lot of things during the week when he was not at home. He felt distressed. He couldn't bear to see Lan'an so tired. Of course, if he knew that there was clarified white wine in Lan'an's space, he would probably be even more heartbroken.

Amidst everyone's busyness, the spring plowing season passed. However, Zhang Xiaomo still had something to do as it was time to check the accounts of the shops in the county town.
