Chapter 541 Let’s Farm
When sleeping at night, Gu Chenxi suddenly sat up and scared Kong Liu awake.
"what happened?"
As if she suddenly remembered something, she pulled the sleepy Gong Liu and asked, "Did you forget something tonight?"
"whats the matter?"
"Ice cream!" Gu Chenxi said unhappily, "You promised to buy me two ice creams, you forgot!"
"Ah, there's no ice cream for sale at this time of night, right?" Gong Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Tomorrow daytime, I'll take you to the store to eat ice cream, okay?"
"Uh-huh."
Gu Chenxi was easy to coax. He nodded and continued to lie down and sleep.
……
There was no class the next afternoon, so Kong Liu took Gu Chenxi to buy ice cream.
“You eat them one after another?”
Gu Chenxi ate two ice cream sundaes of different flavors in a row, and Kong Liu was worried that she would get an upset stomach.
But she said with a smile: "I have to enjoy it well before my period comes. When it comes in two days, I won't be able to eat it anymore."
"Okay, okay, you're right." Gong Liu pinched her cheek gently, "Let me make it clear first, when you roll around on the bed with a stomachache, don't blame me for treating you two to ice cream today."
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, Lue~!"
Gu Chenxi stuck out her tongue. She had just finished a sundae and her lips were slightly red from the cold. Her red lips and white teeth made her look even more playful and cute.
After eating the ice cream, the two went to the nearest vegetable market and bought some vegetables. This time, Kong Liu followed Gu Chenxi's wishes and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
However, Gu Chenxi still did not use the bargaining skills she learned online.
Since Gong Yoo was the one paying for the groceries, she didn't even have a chance to ask before he paid for the groceries - of course, she didn't really want to bargain, she just thought this was very much in line with the daily life.
When passing by a stall selling saplings and seeds, they both stopped at the same time.
Gong Yoo asked, "Should we plant something in the flower bed in the backyard?"
Apart from a few valuable plants planted by the previous owner, there was a lot of empty space in the flower bed in the backyard, which was bare. Kong Yoo hadn't decided what to plant there at the time, so it remained empty.
When he saw these saplings and vegetable seeds today, he suddenly had the idea of growing vegetables.
Gu Chenxi had the same idea. What Kong Liu said touched her heart, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, let's buy some saplings and vegetable seeds and plant them together!"
When the boss saw that business was coming, he immediately stood up, grinned and shouted: "Handsome men and beautiful women, what do you want to grow? Our seedlings are all first-class and good quality!"
Gong Liu pursed his lips, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let's see for ourselves."
The boss nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay!"
The packaged vegetable seeds have straightforward patterns on them, so you can tell what kind of seeds they are at a glance.
Gu Chenxi picked out a bag of fast-growing lettuce seeds and a bag of cherry tomato seeds, while Kong Liu picked up a bag of coriander seeds and a bag of green onion seeds. The four bags of seeds cost less than ten yuan in total.
So the two of them started picking out saplings and vegetable seedlings.
Neither of them had ever farmed before, and didn't know what these messy seedlings were. The owner of the seed store patiently explained everything to them.
"This is a jujube tree, that is a loquat tree, a peach tree... this is a pepper seedling, that is a tomato, mint..."
After discussing it with Gu Chenxi, Kong Liu asked for a peach tree, two chili peppers, and a tomato plant.
The price of saplings and vegetable seedlings is much more expensive than seeds. When leaving, each person was given a mint seedling.
Since you have bought seeds and seedlings, farm tools are definitely necessary.
Gong Yoo rode his electric scooter and took Gu Chenxi to the nearest farm tool market. They bought a gardening set and a small bag of fertilizer at a flower shop, and then they returned home without stopping.
The couple planned to plant a peach tree in the front yard. The front yard was empty and a bit monotonous, so it would be nice to plant a peach tree so that the pink peach blossoms could serve as an embellishment during the flowering season - provided that they did not kill the peach tree.
The two men picked a place and started digging with small shovels.
Dig a hole and mix fertilizer, backfill two-thirds of the soil, plant the sapling in, and finally fill the soil again and water it.
It was a task that could be summarized in just one sentence, but it took Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi an hour to complete it.
The last time the two of them planted trees was probably when they were in elementary school, on the Arbor Day organized by their respective schools. Apart from Arbor Day, they probably had no chance to come into contact with these things again.
After planting the peach trees under the afternoon sun, the two were already exhausted and sweating, but they couldn't stop now because there were other crops to be planted in the backyard.
After squatting at the door and watching the two people planting trees, Nian Nian and Sui Sui seemed to know what their parents were going to do, and the two furry kids happily followed them to the backyard.
Niannian wanted to help Gong Yoo dig holes to plant pepper seedlings, but it was obvious that Suisui dug holes faster.
Suisui supported himself on the edge of the flower bed with his hind paws, and his two front paws seemed to be equipped with motors, and he dug out a small hole in the earth in just a few seconds.
But...
The Nian Nian that followed Sui Sui was in trouble, as Sui Sui threw mud all over it.
“Hahahaha, hahaha…”
When Gu Chenxi walked out of the house with a cup of water, he laughed out loud when he saw Nian Nian turned into a "mud cat".
Angry Niannian shook off the dirt on his body, then opened his mouth and bit Suisui on the butt.
However, the killing power did not seem to be great. Sui Sui did not react at all and stared at Nian Nian with silly eyes.
With the help of Nian Nian and Sui Sui, the couple's farming efficiency has increased dramatically.
Every year I dig small holes in the earth and help my mother plant vegetable seeds.
Every year, a big hole is dug in the earth, and then my father plants the small vegetable seedlings.
The mint seedling Kong Liu planted alone in a small flowerpot.
After finishing everything, it was already dark, with a little bit of fiery afterglow in the sky.
After finishing their work, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi sat somewhat awkwardly on the steps in the backyard, with their backs against the Roman columns, drinking the cool drinks they had just taken out of the refrigerator, and looking up at the sky as night fell.
Gu Chenxi finished his drink, took a long breath, and said with emotion: "It turns out that it is so tiring for farmers to grow vegetables!"
Gong Liu nodded and said, "Yes, and the prices of daily necessities such as fruits and vegetables cannot be sold too expensively. They all earn their money through hard work."
"Well, baby, I feel so bad!" Gu Chenxi looked at Gong Liu with self-blame and said, "I will never think about bargaining when buying vegetables at the market again - (very quietly) Although I have never succeeded in bargaining."
"Gui Gui is not a bad baby. Our Gui Gui is the best baby!" Kong Liu smiled and reached out to wipe off the dust on Gu Chenxi's cheek.
Gong Liu stood up and said to Gu Chenxi lovingly, "Come on, go into the house. I'll make you a feast tonight!"
"Great!" Gu Chenxi hugged Gong Liu's arm and cheered, "Kong Su Su is the best~~"
Nian Nian and Sui Sui also jumped into the house following their parents.
As night falls, thousands of lights light up, like countless bright stars shining on the world.
The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of mortals.
