Chapter 259 I Will Work Hard

After entering the main room, she held Dabao in her arms and sat there, thinking that she had to do some more work for the child.

This was in the ancient times when men were king. Chu Lingxuan himself had a powerful family, a high-level profession and a strong personality. It was very, very difficult for him to accept Dabao and treat Dabao very well at present. Chen Afu felt that the reason why he was able to treat Dabao so kindly was that he was moved by his kindness to Miss Chu, his own mind, and maybe he really loved himself.

She hoped that Dabao could cherish this goodwill, and even if he couldn't immediately love Chu Lingxuan as his own father, at least he should be able to look good on the surface and not be too careful. He thought he was smart and hid it well, but in fact, adults saw through it.

But what should I say? This made Chen Afu a little embarrassed. Naughty children are sensitive and suspicious, so you must speak politely, otherwise everything will be backfired.

Dabao was held in his mother's arms. When he heard her sighing softly, he rubbed his head on her chest and took the initiative to speak, "Mom, do you think your son is playing tricks on Uncle Chu? Why? Actually, I don’t want to do this either.”

This kid also knew that he shouldn't do this, and even used an idiom. She asked, "Why do you do it when you know you shouldn't do it?"

Dabao pouted and said, "I just can't help it. I feel uncomfortable when I think that we will sleep on the same bed with him in the future."

Chen Afu twitched the corner of his mouth, saying that he was "sleeping on the same bed"!

She said, "What nonsense are you talking about? So and so is sleeping on the same bed. Others will laugh to death if they hear this."

Dabao said in confusion, "What's so funny? Aren't other families like this? I saw my grandpa, grandma, uncle, and uncle. In those families in the village, as long as they are a couple, they have to sleep on the same kang. They also have to sleep with their sons and daughters. Some families have so few houses that even their grandchildren have to sleep on the same kang.”

He is already five years old and should sleep in separate rooms. He will have to find time to deal with this matter in the future. Chen Afu secretly said.

"Our family has a lot of houses, so things like that won't happen." Chen Afu said, rubbing his little head and then said, "Dabao, look at sister Yan'er, she is not my mother's biological daughter, not your biological sister. She didn't live with us in the past. Do you think she likes my mother? "

Dabao raised his head and said in surprise, "Of course sister Yan'er likes us two, hasn't mother noticed yet?" He felt that mother was asking questions knowingly.

Chen Afu added, "Yes, the reason why she likes us is because we treat her with sincerity and love her like a family member, so we gained her love. Now, your father is also treating you with sincerity, He loves you like a family member, and he also hopes to get your love for him. If you keep guarding him like an outsider, he will be sad. Not only will he be sad, but if sister Yaner knows that you treat her father like this, It will also make you sad. If you think about it from my perspective, would you be sad if my mother was always very kind to my sister Yaner, but she didn’t accept my love and was always on guard against her?”

If that were the case, he would be sad. He nodded and asked, "Mom, Chu...does daddy really like me? If mom marries him, will she still love me as much as she does now?"

This is the most troubled question in his heart.

Chen Afu touched the top of his head with her chin, and the cannon stung her a little itchyly. She said, "To answer the first question first, at least your father really likes you now. Think about it, if he didn't really mean it, why would he accept you as his adopted son, and why would he bring you gifts every time he comes back? , teach you kung fu, and also invite a knowledgeable gentleman from the capital to teach you, hoping that you will become a useful person to the court. You should treat him sincerely if you give me peaches and Qiong Yao in return. Ah. Even if you can't like him from the bottom of your heart, you must respect him from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, over time, he will be hurt. If this is good for you, my mother won’t know... To answer the second question, my son asked this, and thinking this way, my mother is a little sad. Son, my mother wants to tell you that there is a feeling in this world that will never change. , that is the love a mother has for her children, no matter when, no matter how long it takes, this love will never change, forever, forever..."

Speaking of this, Chen Afu thought of his biological mother. How sad she must be when her son is gone!

Chen Afu's last words touched Dabao, and he knew that his mother would love him forever. He also knew that it would not be good for him if he displeased Chu Lingxuan. Then he promised, "Mom, I know. I will try my best to really like my dad in the future, and I will try my best not to play tricks on him or play tricks on him. I will no longer worry that my mother won't like me if she marries him."

Chen Afu lowered his head to look at Dabao, who was still a little entangled. Only when he saw that he had not been abandoned in his future life would he slowly let go of his grudge. She kissed his little face and said, "Okay, you have to remember what you just said, mother will wait and see."

After that, Chen Dabao went to the study room to complete the homework left by his husband.

Chen Afu called Old Man Zeng, Chu Xiaoniu, and Xue Dagui to discuss the transportation of watermelons tomorrow.

The five acres of melon land at the north end of the yard, plus some land between Fuyuan and Luyuan, and some land in the back garden of Luyuan, total about six acres. There are more than 600 mature watermelons in the first place. , weighing about nearly 7,000 kilograms.

In the past, the yield of watermelon fields could reach more than 6,000 kilograms per mu. However, in ancient times, pest control, fertilizers and other aspects were relatively backward, and the seeds that emerged were not soaked, treated with fertilizers and other drugs, so the yield of melon farmers here was less than 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Through the experiment of cucumber seeds, Chen Afu knew that the watermelon seeds were placed in the space, which not only improved the taste, but also improved the disease resistance of the seeds. After she soaked the seeds in warm water, they germinated faster. Especially the six mu of melon fields nearby, she also applied swallow manure, which grew better and was more productive. The 80 mu of land in Wangshan Village had no swallow manure, so the yield would be slightly lower and the time would be slightly longer. There were also certain losses due to insect pests, but compared with local melon farmers, it was still much better.

She estimated that the yield of these six mu of land would not be less than 4,000 kilograms per mu. Even if it was 4,000 kilograms, the six mu of land could produce a total of 24,000 kilograms of melons. The first batch will be produced tomorrow, the second batch will be produced five days later, and the third batch will be produced ten days later.

Then, the melons in Wangshan Village should be picked. The yield per mu there should be less than 3,000 kilograms. With 80 mu of land, it is conservatively estimated that the total yield of melons is about 200,000 kilograms. With such a large amount, and the transportation in ancient times was not well developed, if you want to sell it at a good price, you must first explore the market.
