You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 234 Are you trying to seduce me?

The rain finally stopped the next morning. Villagers in groups of three or four carried hoes to check their fields and drained some of the water from those that were too full.

The water in the river had risen a little, and it was a little turbid because it had rained for too long. A group of women were queuing at the well with dirty clothes to draw water for washing.

When the sun came out, the sky was clear blue and the air was filled with the scent of earth and the fragrance of flowers and plants.

In the Wei family yard, smoke rose from the kitchen. Wei Nanxing was pounding wooden stakes, and Peng Xiangsui was cleaning up the fallen leaves and petals from the rose tree.

Several little girls were reading and practicing calligraphy together in the room. Cheng Shuang said that reading in the morning would help one concentrate and have a better memory. Whenever they had nothing to do in the morning, they would read and write.

A few magpies flew in and landed on the branches, chirping happily and making quite a noise.

When Wei Xinyi heard this, she put down the pen in her hand and ran out of the room. She ran into the kitchen and took out the leftover buns from the stove. She broke the bun skins into pieces and placed them under the tree, waiting for the birds to come down and eat them.

After a while, three magpies landed on the ground and began to peck at the food.

These magpies were a little afraid of people when they first came. The first time, Cheng Shuang successfully lured them down by breaking up some cakes.

After that, Wei Xinyi learned to feed them food regularly, such as rice, rice grains, and steamed bun crumbs. Gradually, the magpies became bolder and came almost every day.

In the room, Cheng Shuang turned over because of the noise and put her hand on the waist of Wei Qinglang who was sleeping outside.

Then she was pulled into a warm embrace.

She realized that it was Wei Qinglang who was holding her, but she got used to it.

Habits are terrible things. After sleeping in the same bed for a while, the other person knew to restrain himself at first, but later on, when she opened her eyes every morning, they both slept in the same quilt.

She was either resting her head on Wei Qinglang's arm or in his arms.

"This familiar sound is more punctual than the alarm clock every morning." Cheng Shuang muttered, covering her ears.

It was she who suggested that Wei Nanxing practice in the yard so that it could remind her to get up. Now she feels like she has shot herself in the foot.

Wei Qinglang held her close to him and said, "There's nothing to do today, so get some more sleep."

Last night, after the two of them finished talking to their family about opening a restaurant, they returned to their room and discussed what Zhao Xiuwen had reminded them of the day before.

Finally, they discussed and decided that since the scenery was not bad, if there were more scholars coming in the future, they could sit by the pond if they wanted to, but they would have to pay if they wanted to fish.

When the time comes, send someone to guard there, and each person can fish as much as he wants for 30 cents.

Anyway, the fish in the pond are very smart. It's amazing if you can catch one in half a day. A pound of fish in the market only costs twenty cents.

Even if there really is a fishing expert, it doesn't matter. It's just a few fish. Cheng Shuang has put many different species of big fish and fish fry in before. There are as many fish as you want.

"I want to sleep."

She slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed. Cheng Shuang shook off the increasingly unruly hand that was pressing on her waist and glared at him, "Do you believe I'll give you a kick that will make you infertile?"

Wei Qinglang smiled, bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then let her go and sat up to get up.

After kissing her forehead several times, Cheng Shuang turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, but found that she was not sleepy anymore.

"I'm up too." She also sat up.

Then he turned around and found that Wei Qinglang was supporting himself with his hands, and was lazily tilting his head back to move his cervical spine. His white undershirt was loose on his body, and the collar was wide open, revealing a large and strong chest.

Cheng Shuang glanced at her and looked away, snorting, "Are you trying to seduce me and scold me like this?

"That's a bit of sincerity to strip naked!"

Wei Qinglang frowned, then lowered his head and found that the belt of his inner garment was loose.

He looked at his clothes, then at Cheng Shuang, who looked a little awkward, and sat up straight. "Are you sure you want to see me take off all my clothes?"

"I don't want to." Cheng Shuang blushed, quickly crawled over his legs, and rolled off the bed.

After putting on her shoes, she turned around and cursed, "You really are a big hooligan."

Get up, get dressed, go out to wash up, and then have breakfast as a family.

After finishing the meal, seeing that the weather was good, Cheng Shuang took out some commonly used medicinal herbs from the cupboard to dry in the sun, and then went to apply medicine and acupuncture to He Zhou's legs.

Wei Qinglang changed into the coarse cloth clothes he used to wear when working. Seeing him about to go out, Cheng Shuang asked, "Where are you going?"

"I went down the mountain to check on the shrimp in the pond. It rained all day yesterday, and the river behind the house is muddy. I wonder if it has any impact."

"I'll go too." Cheng Shuang hurried to wash her hands.

They read through an entire lobster farming manual, which stated that heavy rain would cause a large amount of rainwater to flow into the pond, causing the water temperature to drop sharply, which might cause a stress response in the lobsters.

The shrimp fry are fragile, so you really should go and have a look.

The two of them packed up and went out to Yunxi Mountain. On the way, they met Cheng Zhengyi and Zhao the Hunter who had bought a cart full of chicken, duck, fish and meat.

"The weather is clear now. Tomorrow, several of our families are planning to hold a banquet together. We'll set it up in the threshing ground at the east end of the village. Everyone is welcome to come."

Cheng Zhengyi shouted all the way and invited the villagers to have a drink.

The threshing ground at the east end of the village is larger than the one in the village before. The crops are still in the fields, and the ground is used by villagers to dry firewood on a daily basis.

Ever since Cheng Shuang and the others started collecting dry firewood, the ground has been covered with chopped firewood almost every day. Previously, the Li family had a fight with another family over space.

Then the head of the village stipulated that each household could not use the firewood for more than two consecutive days, and the villagers took turns. If there was a fight again, no one would be allowed to dry firewood in the threshing ground.

When they saw Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang, they also invited them.

Cheng Zhengyi smiled brightly. "People in our village are not so particular, so we won't write invitations. You can just come directly when the time comes, and come with your whole family."

"We will definitely be there." Cheng Shuang agreed with a smile.

It rained all day yesterday. After walking along the relatively flat village road, the road behind became a bit muddy.

Cheng Shuang was wearing white shoes and her skirt was a bit long. She walked carefully on the grass by the roadside.

Wei Qinglang simply walked over and bent down in front of her, "Come up, I'll carry you over."

Cheng Shuang didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto his back.

The closer they got to the fields, the muddier the road became. Wei Qinglang's feet were covered in mud. He told Cheng Shuang that he would ask the manager to bring some sand and gravel over some other day to fix the road, otherwise it would be inconvenient for horse-drawn carriages carrying goods to enter and exit.

Cheng Shuang naturally had no objection and said, "Otherwise, we can use cement to build a road from the village entrance to the foot of the mountain."

Wei Qinglang nodded and agreed.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Cementite is a mixture of lime, clay and fine sand, which can form a solid ground after being compacted.

The threshing ground is made of cement, similar to modern cement floors.

The workers in the fields are busy. The vegetables in the fields have grown and are basically in bloom. The thin-skinned peppers, screw peppers and two-thorn peppers are more than a foot tall and have bloomed large patches of white flowers.

The chili peppers have also bloomed, and some have already produced small green fruits.

Bitter melon and beans, which require the help of supports, have also been supported and are growing very well.

Wei Qinglang carried Cheng Shuang to the pond and checked the growth of the vegetable field along the way. At first, Cheng Shuang felt embarrassed by the workers' occasional glances at her, but gradually she stopped caring.

Being thick-skinned is something that can be learned. After all, they are a couple to the outside world, and no one will laugh at them.

It took a while to reach the pond. Song Gaoshan and two workers were pouring ground soybean milk into the water.

Because the area was so large, two workers each paddled a raft into the water to feed the fish evenly.

Ground soybean milk is the food for crayfish fry. It should be fed twice a day, and some rice bran can also be fed appropriately.

When they grow a little bigger, you should feed them rice bran three times a day.

However, it is not enough to feed crayfish with rice bran alone. When they grow bigger, you need to plant some aquatic plants, such as water grass, duckweed, water hyacinth, etc. in the water to provide nutrition for the crayfish.

These tasks were handed over to Song Gaoshan. He picked two people to help him. Now, apart from delivering soap in the morning and bringing back lard, they spend the rest of their time taking care of the pond.

"The boss is here." Song Gaoshan from the shore ran over carrying a bucket of water.

Wei Qinglang found a clean spot to put Cheng Shuang down and asked, "Are there any dead shrimp floating up?"

Song Gaoshan said, "I have discovered something. I was just about to come to you to talk about it after I finish feeding you."

"This is normal. As long as not many people die, it's not a problem." Wei Qinglang saw that he was a little nervous and comforted him.

Cheng Shuang found that the water level in the pond had risen a little, but the water was still clear. She knew that the water channel had not been washed away, and she felt relieved.

She warned, "Uncle Song, if it rains heavily in the future, you must block the water diversion channel and prevent muddy and muddy water from flowing in."

"Oh, I understand." Song Gaoshan nodded quickly and took note of it.

"In half a month, you can pick up some snails and throw them in. Snails are one of the crayfish's favorite foods after they start fighting."

"Also, I think the rafts you're using for feeding aren't stable enough and could easily capsize. When you have time, go to Taohua Village and find a carpenter named Guan. Have him make two small boats, and ask Pan'er for the money. You need to keep track of all the breeding costs."

Song Gaoshan nodded and wrote them down one by one.
