Chapter 309: 309 Ideas
"You shouldn't be like this. I've done it before, it's too exhausting."
"Others will come if you do that. I don't want outsiders here."
"You're too solitary. Just for this reason, it's too tiring. It's not worth it. Even if someone comes, they'll stay quite far away from you. Don't be foolish."
"We'll see when the time comes. If it really is one hundred acres, I'll plant all corn. This work becomes less exhausting, and after meeting the tasks, I can still raise pigs."
They both drove back home. They distributed the little pigs, and now she had work to do. The ewes were pulling the gristmill, grinding several bags of cornmeal, which was reserved for the pigs to eat.
Now the little pigs are still small. There is still sheep milk in the space, so it's directly boiled for them to eat. It's almost impossible for the piglets not to grow well.
After another twenty days, it was time to plant the corn.
Now the fields were full of farm animals and people working.
Su Yuanyuan could handle it alone, and her speed wasn't slow at all.
They all had seed baskets now, and Li Hongxiang, with his skillful hands, made some for the Zhao Family too. This could really save a lot of effort.
Su Yuanyuan spent a week planting twenty acres of corn, followed by another week for wheat.
Now it was the end of May, and it was time to plant cotton seedlings.
The three families were working together. Su Yuanyuan had already pulled down the cotton seedling shelters several days ago. Now, planting wasn't a problem at all.
Don't underestimate these ten acres. Su Yuanyuan took a week, but others needed two weeks. Mainly because she could cheat, using superpower to water effortlessly.
After the cotton was planted, Su Yuanyuan had no work in the field. The current herbicides couldn't be applied immediately after planting, so she had to wait until the grass grew before dealing with it.
The corn seedlings were already a hand high. Su Yuanyuan wouldn't manage or mend the seedlings, whatever grew, grew.
The two other families hadn't finished yet, so she drove to the village to get chicks and divided them when she returned.
This year, she still had twenty ducks, ten chickens, and ten geese. In a few months, they'd lay eggs, then be slaughtered for meat in the winter.
Everyone was planting sweet potatoes or potatoes now, but Su Yuanyuan wasn't planting them this year, just doing what's convenient.
Every day was busy, leaving no time to think about Tan Shaoting.
Two people who were newlyweds suddenly separated, which was a torment for both.
Tan Shaoting was already on a solo mission.
This was his own decision. The leaders above were very angry, but he insisted on it.
His superpower had increased by two levels, so he was confident.
Su Yuanyuan didn't know about his risky actions. If she knew, she would definitely oppose it.
But Tan Shaoting wanted to free up time to accompany Su Yuanyuan, so he was willing to take the risk.
It rained, and Su Yuanyuan lay on the heated kang bed, finally having time to rest. So, she slept, as if she could never wake up, dozing off the whole day, only getting up at night because hunger woke her.
Enjoyed her favorite rice porridge with salted eggs. She felt the porridge tasted sweet.
After dinner, she felt completely energized and only then thought of Tan Shaoting.
Knowing he must be busy. Actually, Su Yuanyuan had thoughts of returning to her past life.
Just hadn't made up her mind yet, she didn't want her life to be too tense. Isn't it nice to be so carefree?
Actually, this had a connection with her mental age. After living for so long, she just wanted a stable life.
Suddenly, she was stunned. She hadn't had her period for several months.
Now she was anxious. She knew that being together could lead to pregnancy. But with Tan Shaoting gone, her mood dropped, and she threw herself into the intense spring planting, not paying attention to her body. Now she remembered and was frightened.
Her hand rested on her belly, could there really be a little baby inside?
But there was only a barefoot doctor on the farm, and Su Yuanyuan didn't really trust him. To be sure, she'd have to go to a hospital.
Suddenly she remembered she had Divine Sense, wondering if she could use it for this?
She tried to focus her spiritual power on her belly and surprisingly felt a warm sense of greeting.
Tears instantly fell from Su Yuanyuan's eyes. This feeling confirmed she was indeed pregnant.
In her past life, she loved children very much, but didn't want to live with anyone due to witnessing too much betrayal, preferring to stay in an orphanage, never considering adoption even unto death. Fearful she couldn't responsibly raise them.
But now, she had her own child, carrying a baby.
This was a brand new experience, making her nervous, scared, confused, and yet full of anticipation. Su Yuanyuan couldn't stand still or sit still.
Based on the dates, the baby was more than three months old. She had been quite oblivious, not noticing at all.
Her hand gently covered her belly.
"Bao Bao, were you greeting me just now? You already have awareness, right?
I'm sorry, Mom was too careless, didn't realize you were here in time. Thankfully, you are fine.
Don't worry, from now on, Mom will be doubly careful."
Su Yuanyuan was now laughing and crying at the same time.
Her feelings were very complex. This child came too suddenly. She had never considered such matters at all.
She sipped milk while thinking about future plans.
Now that the child was over three months, she definitely couldn't come into contact with pesticides. Depending on the Zhao Family and the Li Family wasn't realistic; she'd have to find someone.
But even that wasn't realistic. Everyone had fields, and they hadn't finished their own work.
So forget it, no pesticides will be used. Whatever yield there might be, so be it.
Thinking of this, she decided she'd have to have Li Hongxiang take the pesticides away tomorrow.
She didn't know before, constantly inhaling the pesticide smell. Now she knew, she would not let the baby suffer with her.
She lay in bed, chatting with the baby, "Bao Bao, Mom will definitely take good care of you, you must also be well, we'll work hard together.
Don't worry, Mom will be a strong mother."
There were just over three more months until the autumn harvest. By then, the baby would be seven months old, and the work shouldn't affect the baby much. If it became a problem, she'd just hand it all over to the farm department, for them to tidy up when the workers came. This way, she wouldn't be overworked.
Nothing is more important than the child. She would rather abandon everything else. Although this child wasn't expected, its presence in her womb was proof of their fate.
As she thought about this, she drifted off to sleep. Early the next morning, she carefully walked the muddy road to the Li Family.
"Mr. Li, I have to trouble you; could you keep the pesticides at your place? I won't be using them this year."
