Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm Chapter 141 Saving Food

141 Saving Food
“You have an ox-cart anyway. It’s easy for you to go to town,” Aunt Sun said.
“Yes, it seems easy to make the cold glutinous cakes. You can make them in the afternoon and sell them in the market in the west of the city the next morning,” There was a bit of envy in Aunt Jiang’s eyes.
It was a pity that she didn’t have the skills. Besides, they didn’t have an ox-cart, so it wasn’t convenient for her to do business in town.
The Liu family was really different.
Lin Xiaoyue had initiatives and found a strong husband. If the family worked hard for a few more years, they might have everything they wanted.
Actually, they were already very powerful now. Other families would not be able to build such a good house even if they worked hard for more than ten years.
“I’ll try it. I don’t know if it will work,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue was chatting with Aunt Sun and the others when she saw Li Xiao bring Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi out with farming tools.
She quickly bade farewell to the ladies, went to get a hoe and followed them.
She wasn’t really in the mood to chat with them.
She would rather go to the ground with Li Xiao.
Besides, the land had to be cleaned up as soon as possible so that she could plant chili seedlings.
Outside the Liu residence.
It was already past 4 o’clock, and the sun wasn’t as bright.
Li Xiao, Xiao Qing, and Lin Xiaozhi started to work under Lin Xiaoyue’s guidance.
Of course, Li Xiao was the most efficient one.
Although Xiao Qing was serious, he couldn’t work for long.
Lin Xiaozhi was doing it purely for fun.
“You two, just treat it as exercise. You can’t just study and not exercise,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
“Especially you, Qing’er. Your body is too weak, so you need more sun exposure and exercise.”
“It’ll be the same when you go to the academy in the future. You have to move around more every day, so that you’ll be healthier.”
“Yes, aunty,” Xiao Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled at Lin Xiaoyue.
His uncle had told him before he left the house that she asked him and Xiaozhi to come along so that they were not cooped up at home the whole day.
After working for a while, he realized that even though he was tired and hot, he felt much more relaxed.
“Me too!” Lin Xiaozhi smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
“Besides, you’ll know that it’s not easy to bring food to the table.”
“Every grain of rice we eat is carefully grown.”
“You have to plow the land, sow seeds, fertilize, harvest and process it. Only then can it be turned into grain. None of the processes are simple.”
“Yes,” Xiao Qing nodded his head repeatedly as he listened.
Lin Xiaozhi, who was beside him, also nodded.
“Each grain in your dish is packed with sweat. Being thrifty is a virtue. In the future, we can’t waste food even if we’re rich.”
Her grandparents had instilled this value in her in her previous life. After the apocalypse, she had a deeper understanding of it.
“Yes!” Xiao Qing nodded his head seriously. He was deeply moved.
Even Li Xiao, who was digging not far away, was shocked by Lin Xiaoyue’s words.
“Each grain in your dish is packed with sweat.” Well said.
“Did you come up with this expression?” Xiao Qing looked at Lin Xiaoyue with some admiration.
After being in the Liu family for so long, he realized that his aunt was really good at hiding her true abilities.
The stories she told Xiaozhi were all philosophical. And the arithmetic she taught her was elegant.
