Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 347 Not allowed to read

"Thank you for your understanding, Sister-in-law Su." Seeing that Su Mulan was reasonable, Lu Wenqing felt more favorable and said, "Besides, this braised mutton tastes very good. I want to take some back to give my elder brother a taste, so that he can help me." Let’s make a decision together, I wonder if Sister-in-law Su agrees?”

  “Of course.”

Su Mulan nodded in agreement, found a clean small casserole with a lid, picked up some mutton from the large stew pot, and poured some soup into it.

When ladling the soup, he had to strain it to make sure there was no solid seasoning in the soup for others to guess the recipe. Then he packed the stuff and gave it to Lu Wenqing.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Su." Lu Wenqing saw that Su Mulan was very generous and open-minded, but also very careful and considerate in her work, and she respected and liked her more and more, so she asked Forsythia to take out a few boxes from the carriage.

“Sister-in-law Su, I really don’t have anything to offer here. The only lotus root powder, osmanthus sugar cake and lotus cake were taught by my father. The taste is barely palatable, and they were made by me myself. I hope Sister-in-law Su won’t dislike them.”

“Shopkeeper Lu is polite, so I’ll accept it shamelessly.”

The other party accepted the braised mutton. Since the business had not yet been settled, it was natural not to take it for free. These pastries were regarded as a return gift, so Su Mulan did not refuse.

The two agreed to discuss the braised mutton business together in five days, so Lu Wenqing said goodbye and left.

The carriage stopped by, so Wu Zhuoyuan took a ride on the carriage and returned to town to take care of Wu Ji's business.

On Su Mulan's side, they have tidied up and prepared a pot of braised mutton to eat with the children at noon.

Spring has just begun, the work in the fields has not yet started to get busy, and the classes at the clan school do not end that early, so Su Mulan took advantage of this time to do some other work.

Next door, Ms. Liu was at home. She was selecting and washing the wild vegetables that Dahu and Erhu had picked from the fields. She was preparing to eat noodles at noon and made side dishes to eat.

While he was busy, Bai Youguang came back from outside, followed by Dahu and Erhu.

“School is over?” Ms. Liu said with a smile, “Wash your hands quickly and have lunch later.”

"Yeah." Dahu and Erhu responded feebly, then went to the water tank and scooped out water to wash their hands.

Bai Youguang sharpened the shovel aside and said, "We will go to the land to the east in the afternoon. The three of us estimate that we can plow that land in one afternoon."

When planting the wheat fields in the east, there are always one row of wheat and one row of open space. This is so that when cotton seedlings appear in spring, they can be planted early, so that half of the wheat harvest will not be delayed.

It's just that if this is the case, it will really eat up the fertility in the ground, so it is necessary to plow the land early. After plowing, sprinkle some plant ash as fertilizer, and then plow it again, the land will be almost better.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she raised her head in surprise, "Don't Dahu and Erhu have to go to clan school in the afternoon? Why are they allowed to plow the ground?"

Seeing that the three Baishuiliu sisters and many other girls’ families in the village were going to clan schools to study, Mrs. Liu felt that the two children in the family should learn to read and write while they were still young, so that it would be easier to make a living in the future.

So I discussed it with Bai Youguang and sent Dahu and Erhu to the clan school.

 Counting it all together, this is only the third day.

"Mom, dad just went to the clan school to pick us up from school. He said that we will not be allowed to study in the clan school in the future. He also told his husband." Bai Dahu said.
