Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Are You Rolling or Not?_1

”How could you—”

”Are you going to get lost or not?” Before Aunt Liu Hua could finish, An Jing snatched the kitchen knife from Xiao Changyi’s hand, raised it high, and posed as if she were about to chop Aunt Liu Hua.

”Ah—” Aunt Liu Hua was scared, screaming in panic while running outside, at such a fast pace.

It wasn’t until she had run out of the courtyard and quite a distance away that Aunt Liu Hua calmed down a bit.

Turning her head and spitting fiercely in the direction of the courtyard, Aunt Liu Hua cursed, ”Ungrateful thing! You deserve to be childless! You deserve to have your line end with you! I curse you to be choked to death by all that tofu!”

Of course, she didn’t dare to curse loudly, afraid that An Jing and Xiao Changyi would hear her. Now, who in the village wasn’t cautious around these two? She certainly did not want to get seriously hurt, or worse, lose her life.

As soon as Aunt Liu Hua disappeared from An Jing’s sight, An Jing subconsciously looked at her husband. Seeing her husband immediately improved her slightly irritated mood, and she smiled, ”Move aside, I’ll cut.”

Xiao Changyi, knowing what was expected of him, stepped aside to let An Jing stand in front of the cutting board and continue cutting the tofu.

Just as An Jing stood in front of the cutting board and began to cut the tofu, Xiao Changyi wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and An Jing immediately stopped cutting and turned to smile and ask, ”What’s the matter?”

”Nothing, just felt like hugging you.” Xiao Changyi said this without any expression on his face.

An Jing, however, smiled even more radiantly, rubbed her head against his stern chin, then said cheerfully, ”I’ll let you hug, but not for too long since the tofu is almost cut. You need to get the straw and the baskets ready; we must hurry to let the tofu mold.”

”Mhm.”

Sixty catties of tofu, using two baskets, needed about seven days or so to ferment. An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t bother with it before the tofu was ready, but busied themselves planting vegetables in the garden of the courtyard.

The vegetable garden was quite large and could accommodate a variety of vegetables. An Jing and Xiao Changyi planted bok choy, radishes, long beans, hot peppers, eggplants, and chives.

It was four days later when all the vegetables had been planted.

”Jing Er, I’m going to check on the Field and Land.” That day, after watering the vegetable garden, Xiao Changyi called out to An Jing in the house, and then he headed for the fields.

Xiao Changyi checked the water in the fields, making sure it was deep enough to sustain the rice paddy fish, and felt reassured. Then he checked on the rice crops, which were growing better than those in the adjacent fields. Xiao Changyi grew even more convinced of An Jing’s words about how rice paddy fish could increase rice yield.

After checking the fields, Xiao Changyi went up the hillside to look at the one acre of hill land. However, before he could reach the vicinity of the hill land, he saw a large white rabbit turning wildly in his land. The rabbit seemed to have seen him and immediately ran towards the edge of the field, trying to hide in the bushes.

But how could Xiao Changyi let it go? He ran quickly, grabbed the big rabbit, and hoisted it up. After feeling the rabbit’s substantial weight with a few shakes, Xiao Changyi was satisfied and his lips curved into a slight smile.

Perfect to take back and nourish his wife.

Then, while holding the rabbit, he inspected the land.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes were growing decently, and the peanuts had germinated. However, the soil was dry again, drier than other people’s land, even showing cracks. He would have to water it tomorrow.

After checking the hill land and having an idea in mind, Xiao Changyi finally carried the rabbit down the hill.

Along the way, the sight of Xiao Changyi holding a large and plump rabbit made people envious, their eyes turning red with desire. They hadn’t eaten meat for so long and were craving it...
