Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 461: Superstition (monthly ticket plus 12 updates)

 Feng and Bai Jin came to the north.

 Bai Shitang returned. Bai Jinbei had a good relationship with Bai Shitang in the past. Now he is cooperating with Su Mulan in a workshop, so naturally he wants to talk to him.

Seeing Bai Shitang plowing the vegetable patch, he took a shovel to help him.

Mrs. Feng heard that Su Mulan sprained her foot and came to see the patient.

 When I came, I was not empty-handed. I brought the braised meatballs she made.

Feng loves to eat, and Su Mulan also likes to delve into it. Now Feng’s cooking skills are very good. The small meatballs braised in sauce are bright in color and fragrant.

“You’ve hurt your foot and it’s hard to walk, let alone cook. I know you’re also very picky. The children are busy going to school, so the cooking you can do is limited.”

Feng Shi smiled and said, "I have cooked a few more dishes for you in the past two days and brought them to you. You can eat them in different ways."

“You are also very busy at home, and if you continue to do this, you will be even more tired. Baishitang is also good at cooking, and he is responsible for everything today.”

Su Mulan smiled and declined.

 The county school holds admissions exams every spring. Bai Yonghe has to take the exams in the coming spring. Recently, he has been studying hard every day.

　　　Feng is also quite stressed here, racking his brains to prepare three meals a day.

Although Bai Jinbei no longer has to run out all day long, Bai Jinbei has to take care of all the big and small things in the variable egg workshop by himself. He also has to take care of the land rented outside the home, which is also very busy.

Feng's parents-in-law are getting older, and they have limited things to do to help her. Most of the family affairs fall on Feng alone.

"That's good." Feng glanced at Bai Shitang, who was talking to Bai Jinbei next to her, and said with a smile, "You just take advantage of this time to have a good rest."

Su Mulan is very busy on weekdays. Feng looked at her and shouted "Thank you for your hard work" on Su Mulan's behalf.

"With this look, I have to rest even if I don't want to rest." Su Mulan touched her leg and laughed at herself.

Feng pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to touch Su Mulan's arm, and lowered her voice, "Hey, let me tell you, you just said you thought Bai Shitang was still alive, and then Bai Shitang really came back alive. You... Have you opened your mouth?"

“When you have time, why don’t you talk more about Yonghe, my family? Maybe with your open mouth, Yonghe can be admitted to the county school next year.”

"You are becoming more and more superstitious." Su Mulan replied angrily, "I used to say I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now I'm fine. I'm thinking about the consecration."

"I am also feeling uneasy. I always feel that if I do more things, I will feel more at ease." Feng said, "A few days ago, my mother went to the temple to pray for blessings. The abbot of the temple also said, Since you want good results, you have to form good relationships.”

“No, I just encouraged my family, Jin Bei, to donate another twenty taels of silver to our village clan school to buy some pens, ink, paper, and books for the children. It can also be regarded as a good relationship.”

“On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, I plan to go to Fuji Temple again to light up the incense sticks and buy some sesame oil money…”

　　Seeing Feng chattering here, Su Mulan also widened his eyes.

 Sure enough, no matter in ancient or modern times, parents are worried about their children going to school.

Feng’s approach is no different from the parents in modern society who hold sunflowers high and wear cheongsam when their children take the college entrance examination.
