Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu didn't have to worry for long because his mother-in-law came back.

Looking at Chen Xu standing in a daze in the kitchen, Lin's mother was full of curiosity.

Of course I’m happy that my son-in-law has arrived, but what does it mean for him to stand in front of the stove and stare blankly?

"Mom, I brought some food here, you should cook it yourself."

Chen Xu seemed to have seen a savior and decisively handed over the task of cooking to his mother-in-law.

"You kid, you're thinking about cooking..."

Mother Lin finally understood what Chen Xu was worried about, and she felt a little amused.

It is not uncommon for men not to know how to cook. In this era, men work outside and women work inside. There are many men who cook bad food, and Chen Xu is no exception.

It would be strange if a woman couldn't cook.

Chen Xu watched his mother-in-law skillfully handling the ingredients and went over to help, but was driven out by her within two minutes.

Obviously, this guy was disliked.

Although my mother-in-law's original words were that men are responsible for eating.

But Chen Xu still felt that the potatoes he peeled just now must have upset his mother-in-law because he peeled too many potatoes including the skin and meat.

Only in this era can people truly realize how shameful it is to waste food.

Even if it's just a potato, it cannot be wasted.

Chen Xu, who was leaning on the door sill, stopped making things worse and started chatting with his mother-in-law in a random manner.

Unfortunately, Lin's mother didn't know when Lin Chan would come back.

Chen Xu was a little depressed. Lin Chan had no choice but to run to the mountains. He understood it very well, but he was somewhat disappointed that he came back excitedly but couldn't see his wife.

The extra meals originally booked for three people were reduced to two people.

Night arrives.

Chen Xu was still lying on Lin Chan's little bed, hoping to catch the little girl coming back in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately, even when my eyelids started to droop, the beauty still didn’t come back.

I don’t know how long I slept. In a daze, I seemed to have a ball of soft jade in my arms. Chen Xu instinctively hugged the familiar softness, rubbed it and continued to sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he was met with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"When did you come back?"

Chen Xu was somewhat delighted, but the beauty in his arms was obviously not in such a good mood.

"Take your hands away first..."

Lin Chan said angrily that this bastard was not well behaved even in his sleep and woke her up just after taking a nap.

"Forehead..."

Chen Xu was a little embarrassed. He dreamed of kneading dough at night.

I pulled my hand back reluctantly, and it seemed as if the fragrance was still lingering in my hand.

Looking at Chen Xu who was smelling her hand, Lin Chan's face turned red and she turned away, not wanting to look at him.

But soon, the girl turned back and glared at him with angry eyes.

"Instinct reaction, really, believe me..."

Chen Xu was busy trying to argue. After all, Lin Chan had her back to him and her posture was a little ambiguous, so it was normal for him to react.

"Not now, my mother is still here."

Lin Chan bit her lip and said, which made Chen Xu feel excited.

The act of a beauty biting her lips is definitely tempting. According to convention, one should go a step further at this time. However, the beauty in his arms is comparable to the Overlord of Western Chu. Chen Xu feels that if he plans to use force now, he will probably be thrown out.

"Then will you come back to Chenjia Village with me today?"

"it is good..."

Lin Chan did not refuse. She knew what the man wanted to do, but now they were in a relationship, so there was no need to worry about it.

In fact, if Chen Xu had really meant it just now, she would not have refused.

Although my mom is still at home, it's still okay for her to keep silent for two minutes...

Seeing the beauty's tiredness, Lin Yuan hugged the girl tighter.

"You should sleep a little longer."

"Um..."

Lin Chan's sleep quality was surprisingly good. Chen Xu felt a little envious as he watched the little girl fall asleep in just a few seconds.

The quality of his sleep depends on chance. Unless he works himself to death, he will have to toss and turn in bed for at least ten minutes before he can fall asleep.

Holding the beauty in his arms, Chen Xu's mind is now focused on space.

He was a little conservative at the beginning. In his eyes, five thousand fish fry were already a large number. He just didn't expect the fish fry to be so small. Although the old man gave him eight or nine thousand, the pond was expanding every moment. Even if the fish were growing, they could not keep up with the speed of the expansion of the space.

Chen Xu did discover some patterns. It seemed that space accelerated the growth of plants, but not animals.

The most obvious thing is the small fish. There are also some fish that can grow up, but after so many days, there has been almost no growth.

The corn and peppers planted by the pond have grown quite long, and less than ten days have passed.

At this rate, Chen Xu estimated that he would be able to harvest the fruits in a month at most.

He planned to start his farming career when he had more space, starting with corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

As for rice, he did want to grow it, but rice was much more troublesome than those that could be grown in dry land, and the harvest was not that much. So Chen Xu gave up for the time being and decided to wait until there was more space.

Animals provide the speed of spatial expansion, and plants provide food, which seems to be a good cycle.

Chen Xu planned his own plan and then continued to improve the layout of the space.

He planned to divide out an area as his living area, then the warehouse would be close to the living area, and finally the pond. There was not much space left, so Chen Xu planned to gradually open up the planting area, which would take some time.

It is now April, and Chen Xu has calculated that it should be no problem for the space to become self-sufficient in about half a year at most.

This made him feel very happy, and he couldn't help but become more casual with his hands.

Lin Chan's soft murmurs were heard, and Chen Xu stopped moving.

It was a completely unconscious action just now. All men have experienced this. Many times, they behave involuntarily.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xu decided to get up first. He couldn't sleep anyway, and staying in bed would easily disturb Lin Chan's rest.

Chen Xu walked out of the bedroom without noticing that Lin Chan behind him had opened his eyes.

There was shyness and anger in her eyes. It was obvious that the action of Chen Xu's hand just now had woken her up again.

Looking down at her own tallness, Lin Chan stretched out her little hand and weighed it, feeling nothing unusual. She felt puzzled as to why this man liked to hug her so much.

She herself was usually quite annoyed by the pair of big white rabbits, especially when going up the mountain, she had to wrap them with cloth strips to prevent them from swaying and affecting her balance when moving.

Obviously, although this little girl had been taught some knowledge in this area by her mother, the physiological education in that era was quite backward, and Lin Chan had only a vague understanding of matters between men and women.

After all, there were no computers or mobile phones now, and information was basically spread by shouting.

The excellent conditions that teachers in the 21st century can learn even without experience by watching short films are obviously not possessed by people of this era.

Just like Chen Xu, although he was a single man in his previous life, he has extremely rich theoretical knowledge.

If you ask him to pose the forest cicada in 108 different postures, none of them will be the same again.

This is the convenience brought by the progress of civilization.
