Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 459 It’s not easy

“The harvested radishes are buried in the soil, in the vegetable shed over there.” Su Mulan reminded.

Winter is cold, so radish and cabbage harvested are piled together, covered with a thick layer of straw bales, and buried in soil to ensure a certain temperature. In this way, the vegetables will not go bad until the next spring.

 Bai Shitang said "hmm" and went to the shed to pick out two radishes, washed them and peeled them.

 While I was busy, Bai Kangyuan came.

Su Mulan was about to get up when he saw this.

"You sprained foot, stop moving back and forth and do it quickly." Bai Kangyuan said, "I just heard that Shitang is back, so I came to talk to him."

"Then you go into the main room to talk. There is a small stove there, just right for making tea." Su Mulan said with a smile.

Bai Shitang also added some water to the earthenware teapot on the stove, boiled the tea, and moved a stool for Bai Kangyuan to sit on.

"Last night Bai Sancheng came to my house and said you were back. I thought he was bluffing at first, but what he said was sincere and I felt it was true. I wanted to come and see you last night, thinking about you. I just came back and I had to reunite with my family, so I couldn’t bear to come.”

Bai Kangyuan said, "I just came here. I saw that your door was closed. I thought something was wrong, so I just waited until someone was around before I came."

“I went to town to buy some ribs and stuff.” Bai Shitang answered truthfully.

“Yes, I need to buy some meat or something to feed Shuiliu Niang.”

Bai Kangyuan said, his eyes full of sincerity, "You have been away for more than three years, and there are a lot of things at home. I am thinking about some things that Shuiliu Niang would not be able to tell you. There are also some things in our village. I love gossiping and gossiping, so it’s not good for me to instigate you with a few words. I might as well come and talk to you about what’s going on at home in the past two years..."

 Last night, Bai Kangyuan and Zheng had a long discussion.

We discussed whether to come to the door to find Baishitang and talk about Su Mulan.

When the news of Bai Shitang's death first came, Su Mulan went crazy for a while and was not good to the children. Later he came to his senses. It was not easy to run the house by himself and be busy with extra work.

In front of Baishitang, he said that the couple would not be separated because of this, and it was not for some people who could not see others in the life.

So after thinking about it, Bai Kangyuan thought it was better to take the opportunity to ask about Bai Shitang's situation in the past few years and talk about the situation here at Su Mulan.

 The two people chatted for a long time.

Bai Kangyuan talked a lot about the village and Su Mulan. Here at Baishitang, he also briefly talked about his chance encounters back then and the things he had done for others in the past few years.

 When the sun rose high and it was getting late, Bai Kangyuan stood up.

"Since you are back, there will be more days to see each other, and you have time to talk. You are busy first, so I will go back first." Bai Kangyuan said, "If anything happens in the future and you need my help, just go. Just look for me.”

"Hey." Bai Shitang responded and saw Bai Kangyuan out the door, "Uncle Li Zheng, walk slowly."

 When Bai Kangyuan left, Bai Shitang came back, then lit a fire and started stewing the ribs.

 Blanch, stir-fry, add water, stew…

 The movements are quick and complete in one go.

After the water in the pot boiled, Bai Shitang added some firewood to the stove and sat in the stove, thinking about what Bai Kangyuan said just now.
