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

"Is that so?"

Nie Niang glanced at the two children standing next to Shang Qing, and was about to speak when she heard an excessively noisy noise coming from outside.

"Mother, we're about to leave, hurry up."

"I'm also planning to make clothes for my son Chengcai. If you don't mind, you can exchange your extra fabric for my handiwork?"

Excess fabric?

Shang Qing glanced at the indigo fabric placed beside her, pondered for a moment, but still felt it wasn't enough, and frowned slightly.

But just as she was about to quote a price, Cheng Cai outside made a sound again.

Shang Qing didn't want to waste this opportunity. He took the ledger from the other party, looked at the prices, and directly asked for the money and handed it to the other party.

"The extra money can be used to make clothes for the child. Thank you for your help."

"This, I don't need that much, I only need the extra piece of fabric you have."

Nie Niang repeated herself over and over again until Shang Qing finally couldn't stand the urging from outside and nodded, stuffing all the things into the other person's hands.

After finally getting rid of the person, she placed the expectant child directly on the furniture.

"Is it strong?"

"solid."

The two children touched and examined the surface to make sure there were no problems before looking up and nodding at Shang Qing.

After receiving confirmation from the two, Shang Qing smiled again, then pointed to the items that were not properly organized and asked someone to help put them in the cabinet.

Because of the care given to the family, the two children, despite their young age, are adept at all household chores and can tidy things up in no time.

After confirming that everything in the house had been tidied up, Shang Qing finally had time to start counting the few coins and silver that had been transferred to him recently.

Upon seeing her score surpass the forty mark, a smile finally appeared on her tightly pursed lips.

"Mother's smile is somewhat frightening."

"Is it really that scary?"

Gu Pan'er looked at Gu Nian'er, and only after receiving confirmation did she turn her head and nod vigorously at her.

Unexpectedly, the two children thought of her that way. Shang Qing smiled helplessly and then explained her thoughts to them without any reservations.

"You all know that Mother and Liu the Scarface are doing business, right?"

"Although I've made money, I don't have much left after decorating this house, so I have to go see him again."

Upon hearing that they were looking for Liu Bazi, the two children who had seen each other before stood on either side of him as if they were acting as protectors.

Shang Qing took a step forward to try it out, and her clothes were immediately pulled tighter.

"Can't Mother not go?"

"Of course not, we still need to make money from this business to survive."

Although they didn't know how much they would need to support themselves, they understood the importance of the matter. After hesitating for a moment, they finally let go and released Shang Qing.

She got out safely, but she kept looking back, afraid that the two scheming children would sneak out again.

After confirming several times that he hadn't seen anyone leave the yard, he smiled again and walked straight toward where Liu Bazi was.

I knocked on the door casually, and soon I heard his voice.

"Who is it? Disturbing my sleep at this hour, I don't know... Shang Qing? What brings you here all of a sudden? Please come in, please come in quickly."

"I have something to discuss with you, is now a good time?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bazi's face lit up with ecstasy. He wanted to say something more, but he was too excited to do anything and just stood there dumbfounded.

Having long been accustomed to his demeanor, Shang Qing simply took a step back and stood quietly at a certain distance.

"Actually, it's fine if you don't go in. What I want to say is very simple."

"Is it about that celestial wine?"

Shang Qing nodded, but then a helpless expression appeared on her face as she turned to look at the location of 'home'.

After all, I have a family to take care of now.

The most important thing is that the plan is already underway, and if it doesn't continue, all the previous preparations will be wasted.

Shang Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Bazi in front of him again, revealing his usual smile.

"By the way, we can also grow our own mushrooms and guarantee that they are all edible."

Are you sure it really works?

She nodded to Liu Bazi and pointed to the room where she had previously lived.

The other party seemed to understand Shang Qing's meaning and nodded, but quickly frowned again.

"Is that room enough? It's not that I doubt you, but those mushrooms have never been cultivated. At most, one or two will sprout up in the house when the humidity is a little high."

"As long as you cut the rotten wood that is growing mushrooms and put it in the house, and keep it under certain conditions, you can successfully cultivate them."

Shang Qing's serious demeanor convinced Liu Bazi to some extent, but he frowned again at another problem.

Noticing why he was frowning, she didn't say anything, but instead remained quiet and waited for an answer.

"Is there anyone suitable? After all, your method involves someone we're not familiar with, so I'm afraid it might fail."

"I can't really guarantee that either. Why don't you try it with someone first? If it's not that easy, then we can find someone else?"

Liu Bazi was surprised that Shang Qing trusted him so much, and he couldn't hide his smile. He reached out to grab Shang Qing's hands.

But as soon as he extended his hand, Shang Qing retreated again, giving him no chance whatsoever.

However, not wanting the person in front of her to notice, she smiled again and pointed to the carpenter's house, which was a little distance away.

“I went to chat with Nie Niang for a while. She said she had some old clothes at home to make diapers for San’er.”

"Do you need me to come along?"

how is this possible.

Shang Qing shook her head and turned her gaze back to the slightly remote house.

Realizing what she meant, Liu Bazi immediately nodded, turned around and ran back into the house to prepare.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shang Qing, who had finally found a chance, immediately walked quickly toward the room where Nie Niang was.

After calling out for a long time and finding that no one paid any attention, and that the gate to the courtyard was unlocked, I guessed what was going on and pushed the gate open and went inside.

"Niang Nie? You're really fast."

"I was thinking the child didn't have any clothes, so I started preparing them as soon as I got back. What do you think?"

Looking at the pattern, Shang Qing didn't understand it at all, so he could only nod and sit next to Nie Niang as she continued to outline the lines on the cloth.

Once it was fully formed, she understood what kind of clothes it was. She nodded and used her finger dipped in water to draw a rough outline on the table.

"You're really smart. You learned it just by watching me draw?"

"I've only learned the basics; the real trouble hasn't even begun yet."

Shang Qing looked at the needles and thread in the small basket, picked out a needle and thread and strung them together, preparing to practice with scraps of cloth.

But Nie Niang was already an expert and wouldn't waste any cloth. The only usable cloth around was the one whose original color was no longer discernible.

However, using good thread on it felt wasteful, so in the end I could only use old clothes that had been taken apart again.

Being a beginner, Nie Niang sat up properly in her top, but Shang Qing hadn't even finished sewing a single sleeve.
