Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Half full after eating, Li Haitang watched eagerly, waiting intently for the roasted chicken.

The pheasant was very fat. Xiao Lingchuan cut the skin into pieces and turned it upside down. The fat kept coming out from under the skin and fell into the firewood, making a crackling sound.

After waiting for the roasted chicken to taste, Xiao Lingchuan brushed it with soy sauce and other ingredients, sprinkled a pinch of chili powder, and put it on the plate.

"Husband, it's too hot!"

Li Haitang didn't dare to take action and looked at the savage husband with watery eyes. She wished she could open her mouth and swallow the whole pheasant.

Half of it is sprinkled with chili powder, and the other half is plain. The two colors have different tastes, but they are both drool-worthy.

"More haste less speed."

Xiao Lingchuan chuckled, used a dagger to cut the pheasant in two, and then tore off the best chicken legs and wings and gave them to his wife.

"tasty!"

Li Haitang took a bite. The skin was already crispy and not greasy at all. The meat under the skin was soft and fragrant. It was steaming. After a long time, it was already delicious enough.

Li Haitang's hands were oily, but she didn't care. She blew away the heat while stuffing it into her mouth.

Seeing how delicious his wife's food was, Xiao Lingchuan suddenly felt an appetite. He tore a small strip of chicken breast and put it in his mouth to chew.

Maybe he used to live alone in the mountains. After eating for many years, he could no longer taste the food, but seeing the way his wife ate it was like a delicacy, which gave him a great sense of satisfaction.

After dinner and bathing, Li Haitang was not sleepy at all.

The bedding on the bed had been sun-dried and had a warm smell. It was not tainted with moisture because of being in the mountains.

Li Haitang lamented that the savage husband could always do his best in the little things. She held his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Even though they didn't say anything, the couple could know what each other was thinking.

"Husband, I really want to have a little girl."

Li Haitang touched his belly. The little bun was very well-behaved. It was completely different from the feeling of giving birth to a bean bun before. He rarely turned over and rolled around, and the number of fetal movements was rare.

She felt her pulse by herself. Unable to calm down, she went to several medical clinics. The doctor who took her pulse insisted that it was a son.

"They're afraid that I won't be happy if they say she's a daughter."

Li Haitang could understand the preference for boys over girls. She went several times but still didn't get the answer she wanted. After all, it was her own blood, and she couldn't stop giving birth because of her gender.

Having seen too many injustices to women in the world, Li Haitang hoped that Xiao Baozi would be a son, who would at least stand up in the family and have the right to speak.

Her Dou Bao family is naughty, but she is not worried about Dou Bao getting a wife. If she gives birth to a little girl who is like Fang Shaoyao's sugar bag, she will probably have to be shameless and go to great lengths to plan for her daughter.

"Doubao said that he wants to name his little sister, a nickname, so let him make trouble."

Li Haitang had no objection to this. If it was unpleasant, he would regret it and not listen to Doubao.

However, she was curious about what her savage husband's nickname was. She had asked her mother-in-law before, and Xiao's mother had a mysterious face and gave her an unspeakable expression.

"Ahem."

Xiao Lingchuan looked tense, coughed twice, and changed the subject, "Madam, it's getting late."

After a hard day today, go to bed early. Tomorrow, he will accompany her to wander around the surrounding villages and buy some farm products. They will live in the mountains for a few days while someone brings the bean bags.

When he came down from the mountain, he had a very important thing to do. This trip had certain risks, and he did not dare to tell his wife.

Li Haitang knew that she must be worried about him. She was pregnant now and couldn't worry too much.

"Hmph, I will ask sooner or later."

Li Haitang wanted to continue talking, but a wave of sleepiness rushed in. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep.

Xiao Lingchuan, who was lying beside her, breathed a sigh of relief. He decided to negotiate with his mother to change his nickname.

When he left last time, his mother threatened him and said, "I gave birth to you in vain. You don't even want to call me mother. You are not as cute as when you were a child. How can I have the face to meet your father if you are like this?"

"If you don't want your wife to know your childhood nickname, you know what to do."

Being threatened by his own mother, Xiao Lingchuan was speechless. He originally wanted to stand firm, but when his mother brought up this topic, he had to compromise as soon as possible.

Otherwise, donkey dung eggs, I don’t know what is called, is there anyone who can cheat his son like this?

The next day, Li Haitang slept until three o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, the scent of chicken soup was floating in the air.

Eight months into her pregnancy, her body became heavy and her feet were swollen. Li Haitang got up and washed herself, which took a lot of effort.

After dinner, Xiao Lingchuan planned to take Li Haitang to the surrounding villages to get familiar with it, and buy some vegetables and eggs with the villagers.

The road down the mountain was steep and Li Haitang couldn't walk at all. Now that she was pregnant, she could only be carried horizontally by the savage husband and shuttled through the jungle.

In the third month of the lunar calendar, the vegetation was lush, wild flowers and grasses were everywhere, and there were a lot of game in the mountains. On the way down the mountain, she saw two little pheasants looking for food.

It doesn't look big. It weighs two to three kilograms. Even if the internal organs and hair are removed, it's only enough for a tooth ceremony.

The village closest to the foot of the mountain is called Kaoshan Village. It seems that many small villages with mixed settlements are named after this.

The village is close to the prosperous and prosperous place of Kyoto, but the village of Kaoshan seems to be isolated from the world, and the people in the village live a quiet life.

Their ancestors were not in Kyoto, but came to Kyoto from all over the country to make a living. From the slums in the city to the reclamation of wasteland in the mountain villages, they had some land and relied on God to make a living.

"I dare to ask, old man, if we want to go to the village to buy some local products, whose house is convenient for us to go to?"

Most of the houses in the backing villages were made of thatched grass, and every household was not that wealthy, so Li Haitang asked specifically.

If the produce at home is not enough for consumption, it is impossible to sell it to her.

"Go to Chen Baiwan's house. His son is getting married. He is married to Yi Zhihua from the next village. Wine is being served in the village. Since you are passing by, you might as well go and take a look."

The old man was about to rush to eat and muttered, "It's already past morning, so I should be hungry, especially since this young lady is pregnant, so why not come and sit at home? It means a good thing, and Chen Baiwan will certainly welcome her!"

Li Haitang was confused and only understood after listening to the old man's explanation.

There is a custom around Kyoto that on the wedding day, some women with many sons or those who are pregnant are invited, which indicates that the family will be prosperous in the future.

They relied on mountainous villages, because the crops were planted in later wasteland. The land was barren and the harvest was limited. In order to have a full meal, almost all the strong men in the village went to work in the city.

Chen Wanwan's family is the richest in Kaoshan Village. They have a shop in Kyoto. After they became prosperous, they returned to the village and built a large tile-roofed house.

No, in order to find a wife for his son, Chen Wanwan gave him fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift alone, which was the first of its kind in the surrounding villages. He invited people to watch the ceremony, and he didn't miss a bite of food. What's more, Li Haitang was pregnant. To him, she was a noble person. It was too late for him to be happy!
