Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

They quickly boiled a large pot of water for the other party, put it in a bucket, and laboriously moved it to the door.

"The medicinal herbs are readily available; once you find them, you can simply crush them and apply them to the cleaned wound."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Shang Qing waved his hand dismissively, then picked up the bamboo section that had been cut off and placed in his basket, and smoothed out the burrs with a sickle.

Each one was handled with utmost care, leaving no protrusion unchecked.

Once each piece was smooth and not prickly to the touch, he got up and prepared to have the children who had finished eating help tidy up.

What Shang Qing didn't expect was that the other party had already cut the bamboo into pieces as tall as a person and piled them up behind them.

"When was it delivered? There wasn't a sound."

"Mother, can we sell all of these?"

Shang Qing glanced at it, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly swung his sword, cutting off an appropriate length and placing it on the ground.

Section by section, soon many bamboo sections of varying lengths were laid out on the ground.

"Mother, I'm strong, why don't I do it?"

"Are your hands better? Take your sister and use a knife to smooth out all the burrs. I'll have you make something new later."

Gu Pan'er nodded and immediately took the smaller machete next to her to smooth out the burrs on the edges.

Only after all the bamboo sections had turned into bamboo strips were the two children allowed to sit on the wooden stools next to them.

"This is a bit difficult. Let me show you first. If you don't understand anything, just say so."

"it is good."

Seemingly feeling that this matter was very important, Gu Pan'er, who was originally lively and active, also looked seriously in the direction of her hand.

To help her two children distinguish between them, she would explain to them almost every time she changed a tube.

That's why the small bamboo basket, which could normally be woven in a few moments, took an hour to complete.

But it was precisely because of this that both children learned.

It was indeed a bit slow at first, but the speed increased later, and five bamboo baskets were woven in no time.

Shang Qing didn't have the strength to continue chopping. She could only take the bamboo sections she had prepared earlier, dig small holes in the slightly softer tops, and then use a special knot to fix several pieces of grass rope she had twisted, and slung them over her shoulders.

Some things collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"Mother, is this a kettle?"

"Yes, you can only carry a water bottle in your hand, but you can carry this on your back without worrying about losing it."

Gu Pan'er imitated her, carrying the water bottle on her back and trying to move around to make sure the rope wouldn't come undone and no one would be exposed. Only then did she look excitedly to the side.

Seeing her daughter's face turn bright red again, Shang Qing nodded and then led her out of the yard, one in each arm.

Because two daughters were demonstrating the items to everyone, the purchases were quite good, and soon only the two children were left carrying two items on their backs.

"Mom, let's go back. There's still a lot left at home. If we can finish it, we might be able to earn even more tomorrow."

"Not tired?"

Looking at the money they had earned, Gu Pan'er and Gu Nian'er shook their heads, determined to keep running forward.

Just as Shang Qing was about to leave, a cotton vendor suddenly approached him.

"Wait a moment!"

"Could you give me one of those water bottles that girl used?"

Shang Qing noticed his scrutinizing gaze and knew exactly what he was thinking. She frowned slightly and prepared to refuse.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the cotton was showing through the clothes of the two children. He frowned slightly and was still looking for a vendor selling cotton when he noticed a familiar-looking sack next to him.

"You bought cotton?"

The vendor immediately understood what she meant and handed her cotton that cost twice as much.

But this was hardly enough to satisfy Shang Qing. She frowned slightly, but ultimately handed over the water bottle that Gu Nian'er had given her.

Having obtained what he wanted, the man grinned and immediately began to examine the object in his hand.

The girl wasn't stupid; she knew that what her family made wasn't particularly complicated, and that their business might very well be taken away by someone else tomorrow. She looked at her mother with worry.

But she had already guessed the man's purpose in coming, so she shook her head and didn't say anything, leading the two of them to the other vendors' location.

"Is there anything you want?"

"We don't need anything, Mother. What do you want to buy?"

Disposing of diapers is too troublesome. It's best to buy some cotton cloth and exchange it for some laundry detergent or soap to wash them.

Then came the clothes the child was wearing, and a few other things for the child.

Although these can all be redeemed through the system, you can't bargain there, but you can here.

After figuring out where and what would be cheaper to buy, Shang Qing quickly bought everything she needed and headed home with her bags.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and the two children became increasingly lively, even jumping up and down several times.

Hearing the lively laughter that belonged only to children, Shang Qing handed the things to the two children and gently hugged her youngest daughter behind her.

"You're being so good, did you do something naughty?"

She touched the baby's bottom hidden under the blanket and, upon confirming that the diaper was about to burst, immediately quickened her pace to get home.

But before they had gone far, they heard another person's voice in the distance.

"Gu Pan'er, Gu Nian'er, these young ladies are having too much fun, get over here right now!"

"Yes."

Seemingly because of past memories, the two children did not resist. They glanced at Shang Qing and her younger sister in her arms, and finally walked over.

Shang Qing was naturally unwilling and tried to hold the two children back, but she couldn't move because of the extra things in her hands.

"Don't run around, Mom will come to pick you up in a bit."

"it is good."

Hearing the sounds growing fainter and fainter, Shang Qing could only quicken her pace, hoping to bring the people back before the two children started working.

But by the time she put the things down, the person had disappeared and she could only search for them nearby.

After searching for a while, I still couldn't find it, so I could only look at the children playing nearby and slowly walk over.

Do you know where Nian'er and Pan'er went?

"Weren't they called back?"

The two children looked at each other, and then, as if they had just remembered something, they pointed to another field.

Recalling the location of the Gu family's farmland, Shang Qing frowned again. She wanted to go directly there, but then, as if remembering something, she turned around and handed the things she was carrying to the two children.

"Thank you for giving me directions."

"It's sugar, I can smell it!"

Children rarely eat these things, so they put them in their mouths without thinking.

Seeing them squint their eyes in satisfaction, Shang Qing immediately got up and walked quickly toward the fields.

She thought she was mentally prepared, but seeing the two of them sitting under the shade of a tree eating heartily, while her own child, whom she had finally managed to raise with a little weight, was working in the fields, suddenly made her furious.
