Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Terraced Fields_1 Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Terraced Fields_1 He had to swallow even if he couldn’t…
Hearing Xiao Changyi’s words, An Jing just smiled and said no more. So things, she understood, need not be spoken aloud.
After lunch, Xiao Changyi planned to clear so wild land, and now that they had bought a cow, Xiao Changyi wouldn’t have to plow like an ox to turn the soil on the mountain land, so An Jing had nothing to stop him from, happily following Xiao Changyi to clear the land together.
Her husband’s goal was to clear two acres of land; they had already cultivated one acre of mountain land and planted crops, now only one acre was left. However, she didn’t mind clearing a few more acres.
“Husband, if we have ti, let’s clear the land together, okay?” An Jing spoke while helping Xiao Changyi remove the weeds and small trees from the land they were preparing to clear.
“Hmm.”
“In my original world, there were terraced fields. We could clear a few more acres and then draw water from the stream in the mountains to this side. By then, we can turn these lands into paddy fields and grow rice.”
“Terraced fields?”
“I don’t know how to describe it to you right now; I’ll draw a rough sketch for you later, then you’ll know what it looks like.”
“Hmm.”
In one afternoon, the two of them managed to clear only a small part of the land of weeds and small trees.
The next day, after breakfast, An Jing and Xiao Changyi set out to clear land again, while the cow was left to graze on the side.
When An Jing was dripping with sweat, she finally said to Xiao Changyi, “Husband, let’s take a break. Let’s rest by the stream. I want to wash my face; it’s so hot.”
It was only early May, not actually that hot, but because they had been working all the ti and were sweating profusely, she felt extrely hot.
“Hmm.”
Xiao Changyi accompanied An Jing to the small stream in the mountain. As soon as An Jing reached the stream, she squatted down to wash her face with the stream water which was ice cold. As it touched her face, it was utterly refreshing, and An Jing sighed in comfort.
The stream flowed continuously and was very clear and clean, safe to drink. So once An Jing finished washing her face and the dirty water had flowed away, she cupped her hands to drink so water, all the while making sure not to forget to be considerate of Xiao Changyi sitting downstream from her.
Xiao Changyi also washed his face with stream water, and then drank so water just like her.
After An Jing had her drink, she found a quite large rock to sit on. When Xiao Changyi ca to sit beside her, she began to remove her shoes, preparing to take off her socks when Xiao Changyi stopped her.
An Jing imdiately put on a pitiful look: “I want to wash my feet…” She really wanted her feet to feel cool too.
Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything, but looked around and listened to the sounds around them, making sure no one was there, then nodded, “Hmm.”
As he agreed, he also started helping her remove her socks.
Only then did An Jing rember that in this place, a woman’s body was only for her husband to see. The mont she realized this, she just watched her man and smiled.
Xiao Changyi, being watched by her, didn’t feel uncomfortable. After taking off her socks, he gently placed her feet in the stream water.
Being treated so gently, even though her husband’s face remained expressionless, An Jingxin felt very pleased, and the smile on her face brightened considerably.
“Don’t you want to wash too? It’s really refreshing.” With her feet soaking in the stream, An Jing was extrely comfortable and wanted Xiao Changyi to wash his feet together with her.
Xiao Changyi, however, shook his head.
An Jing didn’t insist and simply leaned on Xiao Changyi, while her two little feet played with the water restlessly.
