This is already arranged, Old Yang looked at the ti, it’s already past eleven, better to hurry ho.
Jiang Xinyu instructed the three of them briefly and handed fifty yuan to Guodong in front of the village chief.
"You three must be honest."
"Aunt Jiang, we understand."
After sending them off, Wang Shu followed the three together into the educated youth courtyard.
He knocked so sense into these young ones, really worrying, sending them to the countryside, what could they do?
The three listened to the village chief’s speech and then went to their rooms to study.
Because it was so cold, their hands were stiff, unable to hold the pen, so the three just recited instead.
The remaining eight were not satisfied at heart, not foolish, and could discern the intention behind the village chief’s words earlier.
Those three had found the village chief as their backing.
For those aware, thinking it over, those three hadn’t done much, they shared their good food with everyone.
The unruly ones might not say a word, but in future days, they’d really ignore those three.
This was exactly Jing Chu’s intention. Would she want to mix with them?
Old Yang and the two returned ho after one o’clock, and Sister-in-law Liu quickly served them als, ward in the pot all along.
After Old Yang had his fill, he left after greeting everyone, his schedule was extrely tight.
Before leaving, Jiang Xinyu requested him to help find primary school textbooks. If there were kids wishing to continue studying, it would be useful, moreover, her three at ho should study the textbooks systematically.
"Rest assured, I’ll find them all for you, including middle school and high school ones. I’ll bring them next ti I co."
After sending off Old Yang, Wei Kaiyun embraced Jiang Xinyu on the kang bed, "Wife, you rest in the afternoon, I’ll go to teach."
"Fine, I’ll just sleep at ho this afternoon."
There’s sothing to do, saves Wei Kaiyun from boredom.
Actually, they could teach separately, but for this year, it would be like this.
Wei Kaiyun found it quite interesting this way, he could sit throughout.
The main concern was his wife’s well-being, every night he helped her massage her thighs, worried she might have swelling like when pregnant with Feifei.
Standing for long periods was quite strenuous.
The villagers were not too fond of Wei Kaiyun’s teaching. But they knew Teacher Jiang was pregnant and unwell, it was nice of soone to take over the teaching.
The afternoon study of the Red Treasure Book remained unchanged. Li Yungui knew Wei Kaiyun was coming over to teach, listening to him speak, it lacked the detail of Teacher Jiang.
After classes, Shang Zhenkun and the three children ca to fetch Wei Kaiyun ho, fearing the slippery road might cause him to fall, as his leg was still not healed.
"Xiao Wei, when can Teacher Jiang be well?"
"She will be able to teach tomorrow; I know I’m not as good as my wife."
"You’re already doing well, both of you are cultured folks. Just teaching us to recognize words is fine," Li Yungui said politely.
Ti passed with Jiang Xinyu teaching until Wei Kaiyun got permission to remove his splint, and the weather was slowly warming.
The snow on the roads was still lting, making them very muddy.
Jiang Xinyu was over seven months pregnant, during this ti Wei Kaiyun ca daily to fetch her, his leg was healed, and he really wouldn’t be at ease without fetching his wife.
But soon the courses were ending, as with the thaw everyone would be mobilized for spring planting, a crucial event of the year, without spring planting where would autumn harvest co from?
Before class ended, Jiang Xinyu stood up, "Our course will pause for now, we’ll resu in winter, spring is a vibrant season, and everyone must muster all strength, with seeds cos a bountiful harvest hope."
Everyone applauded, their gratitude to Jiang Xinyu beyond words.
Jiang Xinyu was at peace now. May’s weather rising in temperature day by day quickly; planting could comnce soon.
Today Shang Zhenkun and the three children ca to fetch her, Wei Kaiyun with the village chief and captain, accountant went to asure the land. Estimation was not small, physically she wasn’t capable now, hoping to divide a smaller portion.
Returning ho, Sister-in-law Liu had prepared dishes, waiting for Wei Kaiyun to return.
He didn’t arrive ho until dark, cleaned up in the courtyard, changed out of muddy clothes and shoes, and entered the house.
While eating, chatting, "Wife, we divided 25 acres of land."
"What? Why so much?"
"And the land isn’t farmland, we need to reclaim and clear it.
Today I circled around, estimated this year if we could clear a few acres would be good."
Jiang Xinyu frowned, what to do? Ho labor one Wei Kaiyun, even working tirelessly day and night, how much could be planted?
"Tell about the land conditions."
"Many dry grasses, I saw so with roots, and many with seeds, once sprouted, re weeding is a problem."
Wei Kaiyun worried, even if planted now, feared wild grasses would overshadow the seedlings.
"I have a recipe, able to suppress wild grass growth, you’d better hurry preparing the herbs; root issues no redy, but should prevent seed germination."
"Master Shang, it’s to suppress seed germination."
"Hence urging you quickly as there’s a ti limit, delay sowing crops."
"However, too troubleso to operate, is the prescription boiled into a decoction? But how to spread?" In the future, there’d be herbicides, then spraying even post-ergence crops feasible. But now there weren’t any.
Shang Zhenkun frowned, this wasn’t a re one or two-acre issue, it was indeed 25 acres.
The whole family worried, even the children frowned.
Jiang Feifei was battling internally, finally decided to draw the sprayer blueprint, which would alleviate many issues at ho.
"Enough, don’t worry, we aren’t relying on this for food, plant as much as possible."
"Master Shang, better give the formula to Old Wei, have him ride to the city tomorrow to check if it’s possible to gather them, even a few acres would save much labor."
"Alright, I’ll go search after dinner."
Post-dinner, Wei Kaiyun followed Shang Zhenkun back ho.
Jiang Feifei looked at Jiang Xinyu, "Mom, I have sothing important to tell you."
Mother and daughter returned to the room, Jiang Feifei lay on the table, shortly drew out the sprayer schematics.
She dared not look at Jiang Xinyu’s expression, instead directly explaining to her.
Jiang Xinyu had known for a while, so didn’t contemplate too much, but attentively listened, as she’d need to convey it to Wei Kaiyun later.
