Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

59 Nonsense
He had intended to put forward the family talk, but when he thought of what his brothers had just said, he swallowed his words.

He said stiffly, “They help us too, right?”

Shao Sanlang got even more mad. “They help? I would rather that they don’t come! They just make us so angry!”

Whenever it came to the busy season, the first section of the family would always help the second and the third sections of the family to finish their labor before the other two sections came to help them.

But the other two sections always idled around and never did any good work. They were never helpful.

Moreover, the first section had to serve them three meals a day!

If chicken was not served at dinner, they would even complain.

But when they helped the other two sections, they not only got no breakfast, but also really little porridge. When dinner came, they served the meal with only soup and a lot of chicken bones.

That was what they considered to be ‘chicken dinner’.

When Shao Yunduan heard what Shao Sanlang said, he took Qiao Xuan away.

They had just walked out of the room when Shao Sanlang’s scream arose. He was begging. “Dad, don’t hit me, please, don’t!”

Qiao Xuan laughed.

Shao Yunduan threw a look at her. “This is what Dad has always been like. He can’t change so fast.”

Therefore, when Shao Sanlang kept nagging about what he had been through, he meant that everytime their father got humiliated, he started to teach the son a lesson.

Qiao Xuan said, “Do you think your dad is right?”

Shao Yunduan shook his head. “No, but it will take time for him to change.”

Qiao Xuan smiled. That was true!

The following day, Shao Dalang and the team were still working on the land, whilst Qiao Xuan, together with Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi were working on the fruit trees in the yard.

She bought fruit trees from a very generous seller who not only helped to dig out the trees but also helped to carry the trees to the yard.

“The trees can live on like this?”

Someone asked.

Qiao Xuan smiled and said confidently, “Of course, it is springtime and it is much easier to water the plants. They will definitely live on!”

That man said nothing more.

It was getting very hot and trees could not grow so well. Watering much did not help the trees to grow. She was talking nonsense.

Well, she was wasting her own money, after all.

When the seller sold the tree, he took a walk around the river and found a new budding tree for himself.

Within two days’ time, there were two loquats trees, two dates trees, one pomegranate tree, two persimmon trees, two bayberry trees, two plum trees, two pear trees, one hawthorn, and two peach trees in Qiao Xuan’s yard.

Apart from the two date trees and bayberry trees as well as pear trees which were as large as a bowl, many were transplanted here after being chopped, and the others were as large as the surface of the bowl, and were transplanted to this place after only a few twigs were chopped.

There were even some fruits hanging from the twigs.

Qiao Xuan poured her superpower into the trees. Hence, the trees turned green and looked alive the following day.

But she did not use too much superpower, otherwise they would have grown better.

In this way, Qiao Xuan was satisfied. She poured in superpower every now and then, so the trees could become really good after just a few months.

By that time, no one would find the growth to be strange.
