Chapter 603: 603 square meters

This is already arranged, Old Yang looked at the time, it’s already past eleven, better to hurry home.

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 some 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 home after one o’clock, and Sister-in-law Liu quickly served them meals, warmed in the pot all along.

After Old Yang had his fill, he left after greeting everyone, his schedule was extremely 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 home 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 time I come."

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 home this afternoon."

There’s something 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 someone 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 came to fetch Wei Kaiyun home, fearing the slippery road might cause him to fall, as his leg was still not healed.

"Xiao Wei, when can Teacher Jiang be well?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"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.

Time 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 melting, making them very muddy.

Jiang Xinyu was over seven months pregnant, during this time Wei Kaiyun came 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 come from?

Before class ended, Jiang Xinyu stood up, "Our course will pause for now, we’ll resume in winter, spring is a vibrant season, and everyone must muster all strength, with seeds comes 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 commence soon.

Today Shang Zhenkun and the three children came to fetch her, Wei Kaiyun with the village chief and captain, accountant went to measure the land. Estimation was not small, physically she wasn’t capable now, hoping to divide a smaller portion.

Returning home, Sister-in-law Liu had prepared dishes, waiting for Wei Kaiyun to return.

He didn’t arrive home 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? Home labor one Wei Kaiyun, even working tirelessly day and night, how much could be planted?

"Tell me about the land conditions."

"Many dry grasses, I saw some with roots, and many with seeds, once sprouted, mere 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 remedy, but should prevent seed germination."

"Master Shang, it’s to suppress seed germination."

"Hence urging you quickly as there’s a time limit, delay sowing crops."

"However, too troublesome to operate, is the prescription boiled into a decoction? But how to spread?" In the future, there’d be herbicides, then spraying even post-emergence crops feasible. But now there weren’t any.

Shang Zhenkun frowned, this wasn’t a mere 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 home.

"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 home.

Jiang Feifei looked at Jiang Xinyu, "Mom, I have something 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.
