My delicate husband

While it is still early for spring plowing, the villagers of Lianhua Village are not idle either. They are all consciously reclaiming wasteland. Just as the weather has warmed up, the land is no longer hard and can be shoveled.

"Young Master, should we also open up the land?"

"Wait a minute, the weather has just warmed up, why are the villagers so enthusiastic?"

“They are all waiting to plant with the young master.”

Lan'an was also thinking about what to plant on those wastelands. Tomatoes, peanuts, and watermelons can only be planted in April and May. Lan'an thought of the corn in the space, which could be planted.

In addition, Lan An thought of fruit trees. He wanted to eat fresh fruits. He promised to make a separate candied haws for Zhang Xiaomo. Without fruits, this candied haws could not be made. It seemed that planting fruit trees was urgent.

I also plan to plant some beans from Eucalyptus globulus, so I can consider making tofu and tofu pudding.

There are many persimmons on the mountain behind Lianhua Village, but they are rather astringent and not tasty. Villagers will only pick the persimmons and eat them when they are extremely hungry.

Lan Euan wanted to eat persimmon cakes, but he went to the market many times and didn’t see any. He guessed that there were no persimmon cakes in this dynasty. If he wanted to eat them, he could only find another way.

Three months have passed since they started dating, and Zhang Xiaomo has loosened up his restrictions on Lan'an. He would accompany Lan'an for walks when he has nothing to do.

"Ang'er, go out. The winter wheat you planted has survived and is producing ears of wheat."

Uncle Li who passed by was very happy. He would go to see the winter wheat planted in the fields with blue gum whenever he had time. At the beginning, it was covered with winter snow and there was no green at all. Most people in the village thought that the winter wheat was dead and it was not appropriate to mention it in front of the blue gum.

Just a couple of days ago, I saw the winter wheat ears forming, and I wanted to tell Lan Euan about it, but he didn't go out.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Li, for letting me know."

"We should thank you. If you succeed, we can harvest more food in the future."

Uncle Li did not communicate too much with Lan An. He did not go to the fields to check on the winter wheat today. He wanted to go and take a look. If there were any weeds, he would also clear them along the way. This was the hope of the entire Lianhua Village.

Brother Xu hasn't been to the fields much recently. He and Brother Kong are newlyweds and are very affectionate with each other.

Brother Han didn't care too much about it. He was recently worried about his relationship with Brother Man.

Since Guo Ge'er left, Xue Ge'er has started to study jewelry patterns and learned to read with Brother He. He spent money to buy some books on illustrations for research.

Blue Eucalyptus had never paid much attention to the winter wheat in the field. He had only heard about the latest situation of the winter wheat from the old men in the village. Now that he heard that the wheat had formed ears of wheat, he became interested and asked Zhang Xiaomo to go and see it together.

"Brother Xiaomo, shall we go to the fields too?"

"Let Brother Man drive the carriage to take us there later. You can't walk too far, An An."

"Ok."

After returning home, Lan An briefly talked about winter wheat with everyone in the Zhang family. Everyone was very interested and wanted to accompany Lan An to learn more.

"Little boss, you're so well informed even though you seldom go out."

"That's what Uncle Li from the village said."

"Ang'er, you know what, in our little winter wheat field, there are so many uncles gathering there to chat every day."

"That's wheat. I thought Ang'er had planted a field of grass to feed the cattle and horses at home."

"Brother Kong, have you never seen wheat?"

"I've never seen any wheat survive the winter."

“It’s my first time trying this, too.”

Lan An glanced at Zhang Xiaomo and thought about how he had brought Brother Xu back because he didn't want to do farm work. He didn't expect that in just one year, there would be so many more people in the family. But it seemed not bad.

When Zhang Xiaomo saw Lan'an's gaze, a smile immediately broke out on his originally expressionless face. Lan'an understood the poem. It was as if in the cold winter, because of his smile, Lan'an saw flowers all over the field.

"Little Master, what are you going to plant on the wasteland at home?"

"Corn and fruit trees."

"You're not going to plant anything else?"

"Plant it. I plan to spend money to reclaim another five acres of wasteland."

"Little boss, we can do it."

"Reclaiming wasteland is too tiring. It's better to hire someone, preferably a long-term worker."

"An An, there aren't enough rooms at home."

"Just go live in the resettlement house, tell Sister Xi, and give her money every month."

"An An, let's go to the county town after the winter wheat is harvested. The shops also need to check their accounts."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xiaomo."

After dinner, Lan An insisted on going to the fields to check on the winter wheat. Seeing that he could hardly open his eyelids, Zhang Xiaomo simply held him in his arms and coaxed him to sleep.

Lan Euan stubbornly muttered that she was not sleepy and didn't want to sleep, but within half a minute, she started to snore softly. Zhang Xiaomo really felt that Lan Euan had some magical power that always made people soften their hearts.

Zhang Xiaomo looked at Lan'an's sleeping face and felt at ease. He touched Lan'an's smooth cheek. Lan'an didn't show any dissatisfaction in her sleep. Instead, she felt a familiar scent and instinctively rubbed Zhang Xiaomo's palm.

"An An, thank you for coming to me."

After the villagers of Lianhua Village waited for more than half a month, the winter wheat was finally ripe. Before Blue Eucalyptus had time to ask for help, the villagers of Lianhua Village also came to help Blue Eucalyptus harvest the winter wheat.

The yield is pretty good, with an output of 5 denarii per acre, and the growth cycle is only about five months. Eucalyptus globulus is quite satisfied with this, and the villagers of Lianhua Village are also very happy. This is new hope.

Thanks to the efforts of the Zhang family, the original wasteland at home has been cleaned up. Brother Han has also discussed with the village chief about Lan Euan, and they agreed to lead the villagers to plant corn. Each family will provide half an acre of seeds, and the rest will be used to plant various crops. Lan Euan will no longer have to worry about it.

The random tasks in the space were also completed, and three blind boxes were given. Lan Euan didn't care about them and put them aside. The task bar had new progress, 32%, and Lan Euan was a little unhappy.

Things at home were almost settled, so Lan An asked Brother Man to take everyone in the Zhang family to the county town. Of course, he also did not forget to call Brother Xie and Brother Zhu, and just happened to meet with Brother Wu for a while.
