Chapter 221: 221 not adapted
Su Yuanyuan chuckled to herself, thinking that she really had some issues.
But in a way, it’s quite nice; it provides something to hold onto.
Su Yuanyuan still had feelings for Tan Shaoting, after living together for several years, he was someone who completely meshed with her. Plus, they shared a common secret.
To be honest, with his departure, she really found it a bit hard to adjust. But he had his own plans, his own life.
She had told him the truth. Everything would be discussed later on.
She spent the whole night in a daze.
Early the next morning, hearing some noises outside, both girls opened their eyes.
After getting dressed, they went outside and saw Zhou Yongbing making a fire.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I will prepare breakfast right away."
Zhou Yongbing scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. He really didn’t know what to say. He had slept incredibly well last night.
Su Yuanyuan thought about it. It would be best to make some pancakes. They would be leaving soon, and just porridge wouldn’t seem sincere.
"Xiao Li, I’ll go to the cellar to get some potatoes, let’s stew some potatoes to eat."
The two girls worked very quickly; an hour later, the three of them were having breakfast.
"Mr. Zhou, eat more, I also made extra, take some with you when you go."
"Thank you."
The pancakes they made even had sugar in them, sweet and nice.
After breakfast, Su Yuanyuan handed the agreed transportation fee to Zhou Yongbing. She also accompanied him to pick up the car.
Zhou Yongbing carried a bucket of water with him. Su Yuanyuan remembered that yesterday he emptied the water from the car when he left.
"My colleague hasn’t arrived yet."
"Well, this is basically a place you have to pass through, so you can wait for them here. Also, be careful on the road."
Zhou Yongbing nodded. "If you go to our side in the future, come find me, my home is the third house from the back of the transport team.
As long as I can help, I won’t refuse."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. "Alright, thank you in advance."
Zhou Yongbing got in the car. "I’m driving out now. You two go back, it’s too cold outside."
Su Yuanyuan and Xiao Li did not stand on ceremony and went back into the yard, starting to carry sweet potatoes out from the cellar. The sweet potato vines could be planted now.
"Xiao Li, how much wheat does your family plan to plant?"
"My elder brother and second brother are planning to plant fifty acres of wheat, fifty acres of corn, and the remaining land will be for potatoes and sweet potatoes.
What about you, Yuanyuan? How are you going to plant?"
"I’m just planting fifty acres of wheat and fifty acres of corn, and I’ll plant sweet potatoes and potatoes by the reservoir."
"Yuanyuan, you can’t handle it all by yourself."
"I can manage, no need to rush. In the afternoon, you can come with me to the farm base to return the donkey; I’ll keep my own donkey here."
The donkey doesn’t need to be hitched. If it doesn’t work out, just let the mother sheep lead it. I can handle it all by myself, besides, I can use my superpower at night. It will definitely be manageable.
Additionally, there’s the planting basket that Tan Shaoting made. By the time it’s ready, everything including the furrowing and planting can be done.
It really shouldn’t be that difficult, right? We’ll know after trying.
They hadn’t finished bringing all the sweet potatoes up when Zhao Qingjie and his siblings arrived.
With their help, everything sped up significantly. They gave some potatoes to them too, as they couldn’t plant so many themselves.
Su Yuanyuan went along with them; she and Zhao Yanli each drove a cart to the farm base.
They returned the donkey cart and registered that the land previously belonging to Tan Shaoting was now Su Yuanyuan’s.
Everything was settled. Director Feng came to call Su Yuanyuan. Zhao Yanli waited outside.
"What does Director Feng want from me?"
"Nothing much. Now it’s just you alone, feel free to come to me if you have any issues."
"Alright, thank you, Director Feng."
Actually, Feng Baoshan wanted to ask why Su Yuanyuan didn’t leave together with him. Since Tan Shaoting had an opportunity, then naturally Su Yuanyuan, who was with him, would also have the opportunity. But in the end, he didn’t ask.
Su Yuanyuan drove Zhao Yanli home, also transporting four sheep. She looked at the three sheep and spoke to the mother sheep next to her.
"This year it’s just me, I might as well sell them." Then she laughed.
Back home, after settling all the livestock, she finally relaxed. It wasn’t time to plant yet. Soon it would be the lunar March, maybe in twenty days it could be the planting season.
Just like that, she began living a reclusive life at home.
On the train, Tan Shaoting felt very out of place. Previously, it was always the two of them together; now he was alone without even anyone to talk to.
He always ate in the dining car. What Su Yuanyuan left for himself was to wait for later for a taste.
Scenes of him with Su Yuanyuan kept replaying in his mind.
The place he arrived at was the provincial capital, where arrangements would be made. So he took another car and left, directly out of the province.
He sat in the bumpy truck, thinking about how he was drifting further and further away from that girl.
On the farm, Su Yuanyuan spent a few idle days. The temperature rose day by day. Ten days later, there was no longer any ice on the roads.
She went to the edge of the wheat field planted last year, looking at the patches of wheat field, she felt goosebumps all over. Some were still alive with strong vitality, while others had frozen to death, so there were patches. It was like a bald head, with some parts having hair and some without. )
But looking at the thirty acres, at least fifteen acres of wheat remained.
This was already quite good. After experiencing this winter, the wheat that grew should be hardy. So she could try winter wheat as well, there was nothing else to do, just experiment slowly.
She thought of making some contributions to the farm, so that in winter, asking for leave, Director Feng would agree readily.
She contemplated that soon she would have to fertilize the seedlings; this year she wanted to see how much wheat she could harvest.
She was already very content. She had mentally prepared for the worst, thinking they would all freeze to death. Unexpectedly, half were left for her. It was truly not an easy feat.
Feeling reassured now, she started to take care of the wheat planting.
She specially carried a large pickaxe and walked around the field; it had completely thawed. These days, wheat could probably be planted.
But they still needed to wait for it to dry a bit, otherwise when black soil dries, it clumps up.
She found all the rows at home. Because there was too much land, and not wanting to plant too densely, she decided to use the donkey directly.
She checked the planting basket once more; there were no issues. Three days later, Su Yuanyuan started to work.
Others were in no hurry to plant corn, so she was alone working on this vast land.
The Zhao Family siblings also took away the wheat seeds for planting, giving them three hundred catties, as much as they could plant.
After planting the first row, Su Yuanyuan specifically checked it over once, feeling it was quite good. So that was it.
