Chapter 53 work
People, you see, once they get used to working, they find it uncomfortable to suddenly be idle. So I still use a big pickaxe to clear the land bit by bit, and the stones, I’ll collect them to pave a path, so even if it rains, it will still be safe.
Since there’s no rush, I didn’t feel particularly tired by nighttime.
In a couple more days, I’ll definitely have it cleared. This afternoon, while working, I was thinking if I could plant soybeans, as their growing cycle isn’t long, and I could add some nutrition for the animals.
With that idea, I worked quite quickly the next day.
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Li, have you finished your family’s work?"
"Yeah, otherwise, how would I have time to come out? What are you up to?"
"I want to clear this piece of land too. I’m thinking of planting soybeans."
"Isn’t it early to plant soybeans? My family usually plants them at the end of May."
"I think it should be fine. We won’t know till we try, right?" This is what Su Yuanyuan says most often now.
