Chapter 111 The wife can make decisions on household matters
When Shen Yuan heard Su Wanwan calling him, he came down happily.
Su Wanwan saw that his sleeves were tied at the back with a strip of cloth, and secretly sighed that it was really inconvenient to work while wearing ancient clothes.
There were also trouser legs, which were tied with ropes and rolled up to his calves.
He was barefoot, and his big feet were covered in mud.
This is the real ancient farmer.
Shen Yuan took the bowl of Gululu and drank it all in one gulp, like a cow drinking water, without even taking a breath in between.
"Thank you, daughter-in-law, that's so sweet."
Su Wanwan's gaze had already turned to the wall.
Well, when we connect it up, the wall is more than two meters high, so it feels quite safe.
This is good. Even if there were no refugees, the original wall was not even as high as a person. It was too low and there was no privacy at all.
"You've only done half of it in this short while."
Su Wanwan was a little shocked. Shen Yuan worked so hard and so fast.
"Hehe, I have plenty of strength. This little job is no problem. I can finish it in half a day tomorrow morning."
When Shen Yuan was praised by his wife, the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky.
He also wanted to finish it quickly as he had to prepare for his wedding in the next few days.
His aunt told him to prepare a lot of things.
"Well, the vegetables in the garden are old. I happen to have some vegetable seeds and want to plant them again. Let me tell you."
Su Wanwan immediately discussed it with him.
"Are you afraid that I won't agree to this little thing?"
Shen Yuan paused, feeling that his wife was too polite. She didn't even consider this place as her home, right?
"You are the one who makes the decisions about our family affairs. You can do whatever you say. You don't need to tell me. Just sit under the shade of the tree and let them dig vegetables. I will plant them when the wall is built tomorrow."
Shen Yuan couldn't bear to see Su Wanwan tired.
How can my daughter-in-law, who is so delicate, go to the fields to do farm work?
Su Wanwan didn't want to pay attention to him, as if she was a disabled person.
The children all went to work in the fields, leaving her to rest.
She couldn't do such a thing.
However, Shen Yuan's words made her feel a little warm.
"Hurry up and get to work. Take me to the cellar in the evening and take out the sweet potatoes you have. I'll put them in the space to grow seedlings first."
Su Wanwan didn't listen to him. She sent him away and went down to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables with a few little ones.
These vegetables can be picked and dried and eaten in winter.
The courtyard was bustling with activity and everyone was full of energy.
At night, after they had dinner, Shen Yuan took Su Wanwan and Shen Zhao down to the cellar.
The whole family knows that Su Wanwan also has a space.
Now I heard that there is land in that space and that farming is very fast. Food that takes five months to mature may only take two months there. I am really surprised.
However, after what happened with the space in Xiao Yue'er's house, they all accepted it happily.
The cellar is difficult to go down to, as there are no steps but a wooden ladder, and the entrance can only accommodate one person.
Shen Yuan went down first, followed by Su Wanwan. Shen Zhao supported her from above, and Shen Yuan followed from below. The two brothers were afraid that Su Wanwan would fall.
Su Wanwan had never seen such a cellar before. It was pitch black inside. Fortunately, she had a charged lamp and several flashlights, plus a tung oil lamp, so she could see clearly.
There was almost no room to step in the cellar, as it was filled with supplies sent by Su Wanwan.
There was only a small path left in the middle.
Su Wanwan didn't expect that she had bought so many things without realizing it.
There are all kinds of food, daily necessities and drinks, but unfortunately, people don’t dare to use these things openly.
Even this rice, according to Shen Yuan, is much better than the refined rice of this dynasty. If it is taken out in large quantities, it may attract the attention of some interested people.
However, Shen Yuan didn't seem to plan to sell it.
"The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter. The environment inside is such that the food might get infested with insects. There are also many rats in the cellar. I was thinking that you might as well take them all back to your space."
Shen Yuan had already made plans.
My wife said that her space can keep things fresh, so it would be perfect for these things to be kept there.
Su Wanwan was stunned. She had no intention of collecting these things.
"Yes, I also think it's better to leave it at my sister-in-law's place. It's not safe here either. If my aunt or someone else breaks in, we won't be able to hide it. Not only will we have to take away the food, but we'd better let my sister-in-law leave everything else that shouldn't be there."
Shen Zhao immediately agreed, as if a big problem had been solved.
God knows, these days whenever someone comes to his house, he gets extremely nervous.
"You.....Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the stuff..."
Su Wanwan felt that they trusted her too much.
"Can you run?"
Shen Yuan smiled gently, not seeming to mind at all.
Su Wanwan shook her head.
Where can she run to?
Even with such huge supplies and wealth, in the cannibalistic society of ancient times, she, a little girl, ran away because she thought her life was too long.
Feudal monarchy does not respect human rights. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
"I'm just worried that I came here so suddenly that if I suddenly return to my original world uncontrollably, you guys won't be able to come back."
Su Wanwan thought of this possibility.
Until now she still doesn't know how she traveled through time.
Shen Zhao smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, even if you go back, won't Xiao Yue'er still be able to come to you?"
Shen Yuan standing aside frowned and looked nervous.
Although it was selfish, he didn't want her to go back.
Unless she can take herself with her.
Su Wanwan didn't notice Shen Yuan's nervousness, but when she heard Shen Zhao's words, she sighed.
“You don’t know, I must be a missing person over there now, and if I don’t show up in two years, I’ll be declared dead.
I am afraid that my house will be taken back by the state by then. If I really go back then, I don’t know if I can get the house back, and I don’t know if Xiao Yue’er can move in by then.”
Su Wanwan didn’t quite understand these laws, but she vaguely felt that there seemed to be laws in this regard.
"How can it be like this? Sister-in-law doesn't have any relatives over there?"
Shen Zhao suddenly felt a little sad. If his sister really went back, would he never be able to contact her again?
He no longer dared to think about the outcome.
"That's it. I'll leave the food with you. We'll have to eat the rice and flour ourselves, and we can't rely entirely on these things.
Since we still have gold and silver, we can buy some land and plant the seeds your sister-in-law mentioned. This will be good for the country and the people, and it will also be a blessing for your sister-in-law."
Shen Yuan made the final decision.
"Well, sister-in-law, those seeds have a high yield and are delicious. If we grow them, the people will not go hungry."
Shen Zhao thought about this and felt his heart pounding.
This is something that excites him more than studying.
"So, we want to be big landlords in the future?"
Su Wanwan looked at the two brothers and couldn't help but sigh at their broad-mindedness.
Although he is a farmer, he has a global vision.
In fact, all that gold and silver kept in this small mountain village is enough for one to lie down for the rest of his life, and live a very good life.
It just so happened that she didn't have any big ambitions, and in ancient times, it was pretty good to live in the countryside.
"Well, we'll just farm. Shen Zhao, you study hard for me and take the imperial examination."
Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Zhao. They still had to take the imperial examination. Without any rights, they would be like grass.
You don't have to set a high goal, even just passing the exam to become a scholar will bring honor to your family. Of course, you can also be exempted from some taxes.
