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

Gu Zhan stood up, walked into the yard, picked up a small branch on the ground, squatted down and drew a sketch of the planting method he had just mentioned.

He pointed to the sketch and continued, "Uncle Zhao, look, after we planted the crops in ridges, there is a small open space between the two rows.

What we need to do now is to make effective use of this vacant land and optimize its use through intercropping."

Hearing Gu Zhan say this, Zhao Baogen's eyes lit up. In fact, when Gu Zhan said this before, he was thinking that the distance between the two rows of corn was so large that it was a waste of land. Now that Gu Zhan said this, it was exactly what he wanted.

"What's planted in the vacant lot?"

Although Zhao Baogen knew that this part of the land was for growing crops, he had no idea what to plant.

"Grow soybeans. Soybean plants are short and won't compete with corn for sunlight. Also, soybean rhizomes can gather nutrients, maintaining soil fertility, and won't compete with corn for nutrients."

"Great, really great, Gu Zhan."

The team still has a lot of soybeans stored. He originally wanted to keep these soybeans and distribute them in case there is not enough food next year.

It now seems that this part of soybeans can be effectively utilized.

As long as the harvest is good, these soybeans can be harvested this autumn and will not affect the additional distribution of grain next spring.

Now that the most critical problem has been solved, the heavy stone weighing on Zhao Baogen's heart has finally been lifted.

When Gu Zhan left, Zhao Baogen happily promised: "If our brigade has a good harvest this year, I will apply to have you credited with the first merit."

Before leaving, Gu Zhan expressed his idea of ​​splitting up the family business.

After hearing this, Zhao Baogen felt that it was reasonable. The people in the Gu family were really harsh on the child. Now that Gu Zhan has started a family, it would be a good thing for him to split up the family.

"But when the time comes, I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhao to approve a piece of residential land for me."

Hearing Gu Zhan mention the homestead, Zhao Baogen was very confused: "The house your grandparents live in now was built by your parents. If you divide it out, I guess this house will have nothing to do with you. Have you really made up your mind?"

"Uncle Zhao, I've made up my mind. This is the only way to split up the family business as quickly as possible. There's really no point in arguing with them. My wife and I have our own hands and feet. As long as we work hard, things will get better."

"That's right. Come to the brigade with your application someday, and we'll discuss granting you a piece of residential land."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

After saying goodbye to Zhao Baogen, Gu Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The problem of the homestead has been basically solved. The biggest problem now is that he must get some money as soon as possible.

According to the time in the previous life, his wife had been pregnant for more than a month at this time. In the previous life, his daughter had been in poor health since birth. In addition to the fact that Liu Xiaoxi did not get enough nutrition during pregnancy, there may be other reasons.

In this life, he must take Liu Xiaoxi for a thorough physical examination and try his best to ensure that his daughter has a healthy body. He must not let her suffer from illness at such a young age.

Furthermore, building a house is also a considerable expense.

When he got home, Liu Xiaoxi was sitting on a wooden block in the yard chopping wild vegetables for the chickens.

It is the busy farming season now. We have to start work before dawn every morning and have no time to take care of the chickens. We can only chop up the wild vegetables for the next day at night and prepare them. We can then feed them by mixing them with fine bran the next morning.

Liu Xiaoxi has been feeding the chickens at home since they were chicks.

Although Gu Dali announced the distribution of household chores in public at the dinner table at noon, and Aunt Gu and his cousin's wife were very sincere in their attitude, they did not take any practical action. Until now, no one has come forward to respond and take the initiative to take on their own share of the work.

Liu Xiaoxi worked carefully and seriously cut the tender grass in her hands. She felt that the only light in front of her was blocked. When she looked up, she saw Gu Zhan squatting in front of her, staring at her with a pair of deep eyes without blinking.

Liu Xiaoxi unnaturally put down the hand holding the knife and touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"

Gu Zhan smiled softly: "No, it looks very good."

Liu Xiaoxi felt her face suddenly get hot, and the wild vegetables in her other hand fell onto the chopping board.

"Where...where is it good-looking? You're just talking nonsense."

"My wife is naturally beautiful in every way."

In his previous life, Gu Zhan would never have said such words, as he would have felt shy and awkward. Furthermore, how could someone with low self-esteem actually say words of praise for others?

"It's getting dark and cold outside, let's go back inside."

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"let me help you."

Gu Zhan was working on the side, while Liu Xiaoxi squatted on the ground with her hands on her face, looking at Gu Zhan's smooth profile.

The hostility and gloom in the person in front of me suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by an inexplicable calmness and gentleness, just like... just like the modest gentleman in the movie, who became more and more handsome the more I looked at him.

This realization made Liu Xiaoxi's heart beat faster.

Gu Zhan put all the chopped vegetables into the basket. Turning around, he found Liu Xiaoxi staring at him blankly, grinning. He gently tapped her head with his index finger: "Go back to the house. What are you thinking about?"

"Just fine? That's fast."

Gu Zhan was silent.

He thought that if Liu Xiaoxi wasn't pregnant now, he might really let her experience whether he was fast or not.

Thinking that the woman in front of him was pregnant, a warm feeling surged in Gu Zhan's heart.

He now has a beloved wife and a child who is related to him by blood and will be born in a few months. He finally has something to care about in this world and is no longer alone.

Just the matter of making money is already imminent.

Before going to bed at night, Gu Zhan told Liu Xiaoxi: "You don't have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow morning. Since the old man has already said today, no matter who it is, you don't have to do the housework tomorrow."

"Ah? But Second Aunt and Second Sister-in-law didn't discuss with me today who will do the job tomorrow. What if I don't do it and everyone goes to work hungry tomorrow?"

"Don't worry about it. They are a family, so they will naturally discuss it privately. You are pregnant now, so you should take care of your health and don't rush to do heavy work."

"What? Gu Zhan, what did you just say?"

Liu Xiaoxi was stunned. She turned over and sat up. She grabbed Gu Zhan's arm with both hands and asked anxiously, "Are you serious? Am I pregnant?"

She was pregnant. When did he become pregnant? How come she didn't know about this? Liu Xiaoxi felt like she was stepping on clouds and mist. Her feet were soft and she couldn't find her direction for a moment.

Gu Zhan stretched out his arms and held the person in his arms: "Yes, silly wife, you are pregnant."

"I do not know how?"

"Silly wife, don't you worry about the changes in your body? Calculate the time, how long has it been since you last had your period?"

In an instant, Liu Xiaoxi's face turned red all the way to her neck. She didn't dare to look up at Gu Zhan anymore. She just curled up and buried her face in Gu Zhan's arms.
