Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Li Quan returned to Xiahe Village and immediately called a meeting. He repeated to everyone the methods and reasons for intercropping corn and soybeans in Shanghe Village and solicited their opinions.

During the final voting stage, only a few people agreed, and the rest did not agree to take the risk of taking the team's only remaining food reserves for next spring.

Li Quan sighed and arranged for the team members to plant all the seeds allocated by the county, and then replace the rest with seeds kept by farmers themselves.

After work at noon, Gu Zhan felt very uncomfortable looking at Liu Xiaoxi's sunburned face. This silly girl in front of him, she was only nineteen years old, and she had already taken on the responsibility of a family.

Gu Zhan held her in his arms lovingly, his palm gently stroking her back: "Don't go this afternoon, it's too hot."

Liu Xiaoxi struggled to get out of Gu Zhan's arms and sat down: "No, I have to go. I can't hold you back."

Gu Zhan chuckled: "With so many people busy, how could you be missing?"

"But without work points we won't get any food."

Hearing this, Gu Zhan felt a lump in his throat. It turned out that this silly girl was working so hard for this reason.

After a pause, Gu Zhan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, half persuading and half coaxing, "Then how about we change to an easier job?"

"It's not as easy as you say... Everyone is rushing to do the easy work, so there's no way I'll get a turn."

"Silly girl, have you forgotten that you are pregnant? This is a rule in the team." Gu Zhan smiled and rubbed the top of Liu Xiaoxi's head until her neatly combed hair was messed up.

Liu Xiaoxi looked at Gu Zhan with her almond-shaped eyes puffed up, accusing him of such a boring behavior. This guy has had a really bad habit recently. He always likes to mess up his hair. Combing hair is such a hassle, isn't it?

Little did he know that in Gu Zhan's heart, being able to touch this soft and beautiful hair was something he had longed for for forty years in his previous life.

Liu Xiaoxi insisted on going to work in the afternoon. She said that she couldn't be a person who didn't do anything productive.

After work in the evening, Gu Zhan found Zhao Baogen and told him about Liu Xiaoxi's pregnancy, hoping that he could arrange an easy job for Liu Xiaoxi.

When Zhao Baogen heard that Liu Xiaoxi was pregnant, he was very happy and agreed to it without hesitation: "No wonder you wanted to split up the family business. So this is the reason. It's not a big problem. This spring, the three sows in the village did well and gave birth to sixteen piglets. Now that the piglets are half grown, they need pig grass. How about arranging a job for your wife to cut pig grass? However, the work points will be half of what it would be for working in the fields."

"No problem, Uncle Zhao."

Gu Zhan went home and told Liu Xiaoxi the news. Liu Xiaoxi was very hesitant: "My work points are reduced by half. I'm afraid my family will have objections. Besides, you know Grandma and Second Aunt."

Liu Xiaoxi didn't say anything else. Zhao Dani and Gu Zhan had a big disagreement. If her work points were reduced by half now, she might not be able to eat at home.

Gu Zhan touched Liu Xiaoxi's face, his expression becoming grim. "Don't worry, it's okay. I'm not afraid of them making a fuss, I'm just afraid of them not making a fuss. If they do, it'll just be a good reason for us to separate."

"Separate?"

Liu Xiaoxi stood up in surprise. Although she had thought about splitting up the family before, she also wanted to leave this big family and live a good life with Gu Zhan.

However, Gu Zhan showed a strong dependence and affection for this family, which made her dare not even speak of the matter of dividing the family. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhan actually took the initiative to propose dividing the family today.

Liu Xiaoxi carefully observed Gu Zhan's expression and found that he didn't seem to be joking. She was still unsure: "Are you really splitting up?"

Gu Zhan looked at his wife, who was standing in front of him, as graceful as a delicate flower. He pulled her over and placed her on his lap: "We are really separating."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoxi hadn't reacted yet, Gu Zhan deliberately said, "Wife, don't you want to separate the family? If you don't want to, then we won't..."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard Gu Zhan say that he didn't want to split up, she got anxious and immediately grabbed Gu Zhan's clothes, saying nervously, "Yes, I do."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my wife and divide the family. But my wife, you may have to wait a few days."

Liu Xiaoxi nodded: "No problem."

As long as Gu Zhan had this idea, the family would have to split up sooner or later, it was just a matter of sooner or later. As long as there was hope for the future, one would be able to live a good life.

Little did they know that the main reason why Gu Zhan couldn't split up the family business yet was that he was short of money and had no money to build a house.

In short, with Gu Zhan's idea of ​​dividing the family, Liu Xiaoxi no longer had any worries in her heart. She also wanted to take good care of the baby. This was her and Gu Zhan's first child, and she was very precious.

"Well, I'll go cut grass for the pigs."

"That's good, but let's be nice. Even when cutting grass for the pigs, you have to do it within your ability. You can't tire my precious daughter out."

"Okay, just your baby, your daughter."

Liu Xiaoxi didn't think much about the daughter Gu Zhan mentioned. After all, this was her and Gu Zhan's first child. No matter whether it was a good boy or a girl, she would treasure it.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoxi went to the production team office to report and received tools for cutting grass for the pigs.

Zhao Dani has been working slowly these days. She thought that she was old and someone from her family would always come to help her. However, after two days of hard work, not a single person came forward to help her, which made her very angry.

So she had been thinking since morning that she must ask Liu Xiaoxi and Zhao Hongmei to come and help her with the work today.

However, after working for most of the day, he only saw Zhao Hongmei working intermittently in the fields, and there was no sign of Liu Xiaoxi at all.

"Debt collectors, you're all debt collectors. You don't go to work every day, waiting for me to earn work points to support you. You're dreaming. I won't give you any food, and you little bastards will starve to death."

When the old lady who was burying seeds in the ridges next to her heard what Zhao Dani said, she knew that she must be scolding the young couple from the old family.

With Gu Zhan's outstanding performance before, the old lady also realized that Zhao Dani was deliberately ruining the reputation of the two children in the village, especially Gu Zhan's young wife, who was originally the daughter of Liu Jinshui's family in the village. Why was that girl considered a good girl in the surrounding villages before she got married, but was accused of being lazy and gluttonous when she came to her family?

So she deliberately took advantage of Zhao Dani's words and said, "Sister, why haven't you seen your eldest grandson's wife come?"

Hearing this, Zhao Dani became even more furious and said directly: "This little heartless kid is lazy and eats all day at home, thinking about eating my food."

Another woman nearby continued, "Oh, sister, you didn't know yet? Your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant. Gu Zhan loves his wife so much that he asked Captain Zhao to give her a lighter job cutting grass for pigs."

"Hey, don't tell me, Gu Zhan, that boy, knows how to love his wife at such a young age. He's nothing like us old Koreans, who have no one to love or care for us."

For a moment, the old lady's words made everyone laugh, except Zhao Dani, who had a gloomy face.
