My delicate husband

Chapter 66: Rice Planting 1-Day Experience Card

The medicinal bath in the second course of treatment was much more powerful than the first course. Even though the use of spiritual spring water was reduced by Eucalyptus globulus, Zhang Xiaomo still felt obvious discomfort.

As soon as he entered the bathtub, Zhang Xiaomo felt obvious pain. The most painful thing before was just like a needle prick, but now it felt like a knife was cutting his flesh, and his body was full of dull pain. In addition, he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. Zhang Xiaomo endured it all the time. He didn't scream, his teeth biting his lips, and his nails clasped the edge of the tub tightly. He didn't even notice that his nails were broken. It was really painful, so painful that he wanted to give up.

A quarter of an hour later, Lan An walked into the bathroom and saw Zhang Xiaomo in a miserable state. He trembled and didn't dare to touch him. Seeing his fingertips bleeding, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

The elm barrel is so hard, but scratches appear on it. How painful it is.

Zhang Xiaomo's lips were bitten until they bled, and his face was pale, as if he had been rescued from the water for a long time, lifeless.

Lan An knew that he was too anxious, so Zhang Xiaomo didn't want to make him worry, so he chose to hold on. He really despised himself for being like this. He couldn't even give Zhang Xiaomo support. He was so useless.

Lan Euan felt that the surroundings became distorted, and countless voices appeared in his mind.

"Lan Euan, it would be great if you were a daughter."

"Lan Eucalyptus, you are a waste, no one will like you"

"Lan Euan, you are destined to be alone all your life, no one is willing to accompany you"

"An An, I don't want you anymore, you hurt me so much"

Countless voices echoed in his mind. The corners of Lan'an's eyes grew redder and redder, and his dark eyes became somewhat frantic. He looked around blankly, this and that, destroy it, destroy it all...

Zhang Xiaomo raised his eyelids with great effort, and he noticed Lan An coming in, but he was too tired and didn't want to speak. He saw Lan An's expression clearly, and there was no need to think that Lan An was frightened by him.

"An An, come and hug me, my husband, I'm in so much pain..."

Zhang Xiaomo's weak voice reached Lan'an's ears, and the noisy world became quiet. Lan'an quickly picked him up, gently wiped his body with clean water, changed his clothes, and gently placed him on the bed.

Lan An went to get alcohol and cloth tape to help Zhang Xiaomo treat his injuries. Lan An was very quiet and didn't say a word the whole time.

"An An, it's okay. It doesn't hurt that much."

Zhang Xiaomo's palm gently brushed over Lan'an's head, and then gently patted Lan'an's back, coaxing her tenderly.

Lan An buried her head in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, and began to cry in pain. She cried loudly, heartbrokenly, and aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Xiaomo. I don't want you to be in so much pain. I beg you, please hold on and don't leave me. Please."

"An An, don't cry, it's okay."

Lan'an sobbed silently for a long time. Zhang Xiaomo coaxed her onto the bed and held her tightly in his arms. Lan'an held Zhang Xiaomo's inner clothes tightly and refused to let go. Zhang Xiaomo patted Lan'an's back and coaxed her to sleep.

"An An, how can I bear to let you go like this?"

Zhang Xiaomo sighed silently

The plants on the five acres of land grew well under Brother Xu's care. The spiritual spring water was very helpful for the growth of crops. Every week, Lan'an would ask Brother Xu to find someone to water some manure water in the vegetable field. He would leave two buckets of water, and Brother Xu would consciously add it to the manure water without Lan'an's instructions.

Lan'an also prepared suitable manure for each aunt's home, but their men needed to come to Lan'an's house to pick it up. However, Lan'an did not take care of these and left it entirely to Brother Xu.

Lan An accompanied Zhang Xiaomo throughout the second course of medicinal bath. He never went into the washroom before, but he was really scared that day, so Lan An felt that he should accompany Zhang Xiaomo. He gently held Zhang Xiaomo's ten fingers and told him stories about Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow and Lu Zhishen riding alone for thousands of miles, which probably made Zhang Xiaomo happy.

Brother Xu and Brother Tiezhu worked in the fields for four days, getting up early and going to bed late. Finally, the fields were ready and they could start planting rice seedlings.

Lan An originally wanted to stay with Zhang Xiaomo all the time, but there was no other way. He usually took advantage of the situation and didn't worry about planting rice. It would be unreasonable not to go and plant rice.

There is a custom in Lianhua Village that whoever is in charge must pick the first rice seedling in the rice field. Zhang Xiaomo definitely cannot go, so Lan An has to go. So Lan An is happy to take a one-day trip to plant rice. He comforts himself by thinking of it as an experience of farm life, which he didn't have the chance to experience in his previous life.

No one else in the village had their seedlings ready for planting yet, and the blue eucalyptus were all the first, about ten days ahead of the others. So many villagers spontaneously went to help the blue eucalyptus.

Brother Xu originally hired a dozen temporary workers in the county town. Later, Zhang Ping, Li Daren, Wang Daniu, and Aunt Wang and her husband found out and wanted to come and help on their own initiative. Brother Xu did not refuse.

But I didn’t expect that the rice fields are now full of people, and half of the people in Lianhua Village have come, so the temporary workers in the county town seem to be redundant.

"Ang'er, your rice seedlings are growing really well. I guess the harvest this year won't be bad either."

"Auntie Wang, I don't quite understand either. It's all thanks to Brother Xu. I didn't worry about it."

"Xu Hanzi is really good at farming. Will you consider getting married after the autumn harvest?"

Brother Xu just smiled and politely refused, and Aunt Wang didn't force him.

Seeing so many people pulling seedlings, Lan Euan felt that he was redundant here, but he couldn't go home, so he could only catch some fish.

The villagers were also very conscientious and divided the work among themselves. The young men pulled the seedlings, the strong men carried them to the fields, and the women, who were quick and skillful, went to plant the rice.

Lan An saw that Aunt Wang was planting rice very quickly and it seemed very easy. He was also eager to try it as he had a dream of becoming a local landlord.

After inserting less than one row, I felt pain in my waist and numbness in my legs. My legs kept getting stuck in the mud. Looking at how he inserted it, it was so crooked that I couldn't bear to look at it. I might have to do it all over again later.

The key point is that there is a control group next to the blue eucalyptus. It is a boy under 13 years old, who seems to be a child in the resettlement house. He works quickly and well. It looks like he has measured it with a ruler. Not only are they straight, but the spacing is also the same.

Lan An felt that he was a bit useless. Forget it. He didn't know how to pick the seedlings, so he wouldn't force him. It would definitely be easier to pull the seedlings. God must have left a window when he closed the door.

Some of the seedlings were rooted in the soil and were not easy to pull out. The blue eucalyptus did not master the technique and broke several of them. Uncle Zhang, who was standing by, felt very distressed. He struggled for a while, but saw that the blue eucalyptus was still often broken, and finally he could not bear to watch him pull the seedlings.

"Ang'er, is there anyone taking care of your Xiaomo?"

"No. Uncle Zhang, he's home alone."

"Why don't you go home and see him? Leave this to us."

"It's okay, he can be home alone."

"Oh, then if you have something to do, you can go now."

"Oh, no, aren't you busy pulling up the rice seedlings?"

"Um, listen to Second Uncle and sit over there for a while."

"Oh well."

Lan An looked at his second uncle's distressed eyes, then looked at the broken seedlings in his hand, and probably understood. Lan An had to admit that God would not leave a window for you even if he closed the door.

There is strength in numbers. I thought it would take two days, but now it’s all planted in just half a day. It looks so neat and tidy, and it’s quite pleasing to the eye.

Lan'an gave each villager 20 cents to thank them for their help. Everyone refused at first, but finally accepted it with a smile.

Lan An didn't expect that he had planted so many seedlings, and only used half of his three acres of land. It would be a waste to leave the remaining half here.

The blue eucalyptus is planned to be given to the villagers who came to help today, so that anyone who is short of seedlings can use it directly.

The seedlings of most families in Lianhua Village are not very good. Even though they plant a lot, the germination rate is low, less than half, so many families cannot get seedlings and can only choose to plant sparsely.

Lan An offered to let everyone use the extra seedlings for free, and the villagers were delighted. They all went home to work on their fields, as the number of seedlings was limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lan Euan rolled up his trouser legs, his fair, well-proportioned calves gleaming in the sun. Though a little muddy, they looked beautiful. He ignored the villagers' gazes and sat barefoot in the carriage, waiting to return home.

"Brother Xu, tell Brother Guo to go home quickly."

"coming."

"Anger, you can't roll up your pants. You have to let them down after you leave the fields?"

"Why not, Brother Tiezhu? Didn't Brother Xu roll up his pants too?"

"They are men, it's okay."

"I am a man too."

"You're sunburned, right? You're a bro, let's go home quickly. Luckily I don't know, otherwise you'd be doomed."

"Tsk, Brother Xiaomo won't say that to me."

Ang'er rolled his eyes. The carriage was very fast and arrived home in less than a quarter of an hour. Zhang Xiaomo was sitting in the yard and immediately came to greet him when he saw Lan An.

"Brother, look at An Ge'er, exposing his legs in public."

Zhang Xiaomo stared at Lan Euan's white and shiny calves. Only he knew how comfortable it was to play with those legs in his hands and how good they felt to touch. The smile on his face disappeared for a moment and his face darkened a little.

"An An, let's go into the inner room and talk."

"Brother Xiaomo, I'm going to wash my feet first. They're dirty."

"An An, put your pants down."

"How can I wash it if I put it down, Zhang Xiaomo, are you stupid?"

"Brother Guo, fetch a basin of water and go to the inner room."

Zhang Xiaomo walked up to the man and helped him put down his pants and outer robe, then pulled him into the room.

Zhang Xiaomo sat upright on the sofa, his eyes following Lan An all the time. His face was expressionless, without his usual smile and gentleness.

Guo Ge'er knew that his brother was jealous, so he quickly put down the basin and left.

Lan Euan washed the mud off her legs, changed her clothes, and sat obediently next to Zhang Xiaomo.

"Zhang Xiaomo, you are unhappy."

"An An, you can't show your legs outside anymore, do you hear me?"

"Why."

Zhang Xiaomo didn't say anything, and asked Lan An to lie on his legs. Lan An did as he was told, and felt a cool breeze behind him...

He lay there obediently, pretending to be a quail, not daring to make any big movements for fear that Zhang Xiaomo would notice.

"Is that wrong? Don't show your legs anymore."

Lan An didn't say anything. Zhang Xiaomo saw the red marks and...

Zhang Xiaomo touched Lan'an's face and felt tears, and was a little panicked for a moment.

"An An baby, does it hurt?"

"No."

Zhang Xiaomo forcibly held the person in his arms. Lan An's eyes were red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"What's wrong? Why are you so aggrieved?"

"Brother Xiaomo, it doesn't hurt, I..."

Lan An leaned directly into Zhang Xiaomo's arms. Zhang Xiaomo also noticed it and wanted to teach him a lesson, but also let him...

"Okay, as long as you don't expose your legs in the future, I can give An An a reward."

"Even when it's hot, isn't it?"

"No, if An An shows her legs again, I will let others see An An's collarbone, which she loves to suck the most."

"No, only I can see it."

"An An, do you understand now?"

"I understand. Brother Xiaomo is jealous."

"Yeah, so, you have to wear proper clothes when you go out next time, you hear me?"

"I know. Brother Xiaomo, I want more~."

Zhang Xiaomo did it again... Lan An excitedly ripped off Zhang Xiaomo's clothes and nibbled his collarbone. She heard the man groan, and was afraid that he had bitten too hard, so she stuck out her tongue and licked it flatteringly.

Zhang Xiaomo's eyes became dark, and he tightened his grip around Lan An.

"Brother Xiaomo, you're holding me so tightly that it hurts. I'm so tired from planting rice today. Let me lean on you and take a nap."

"Go to sleep and eat later. It's still quite early."

"I'm going to make bath water later."

"It's still early, An An, go to bed."

The sun was shining brightly outside the room, and Lan Euan was sleeping soundly in Zhang Xiaomo's arms inside the room.
