Chapter 55.1

Xiao Zhuzi silently wished in his heart. He hopes that he could continue to live this good life forever and always be a part of this family.

When it was time to go to bed, Xiao Yu tightly clung to the legs of the table and refused to leave, saying, “No, I won’t go back. I want to sleep with Fantuan, Xiaobao, Zhuzi, and Doubao. I don’t want to go back with you!”

Zhao Xianfeng raised his hand to spank his butt and said, “Can that be done? How can so many people squeeze into a bed? If you squeeze Xiao Doubao, see if I don’t beat you up!”

Xiao Yu covered his face and cried loudly, “We made an appointment yesterday to sleep together today. Auntie Su agreed, but I won’t go back even if you beat me to death. No, I won’t go back in the future. I want to stay at Auntie Su’s house, just like Xiao Zhuzi. Anyway, the food you cook is difficult to eat, and Auntie Su’s cooking is delicious! Waaaa!”

Zhou Yuhua laughed and said, “Okay, I don’t really want a bear son either. I’ll give you to your Aunt Su and let her take care of you.”

Su Xiaoxiao really couldn’t laugh or cry. He pulled Xiao Yu over and said, He pulled Xiao Yu over and said, “They can sleep in rows. Can Xiao Yu go back with his father tomorrow morning when he goes for his morning run?”

Xiao Yu secretly glanced at his father’s expression through his fingers, which by the way didn’t look very good. He nodded and said, ‘Hmm.’

How can there be a tear when his two little hands and face are so clean?

Zhao Xianfeng thought to himself that this little showman should be sent to the art troupe in the future.

Xiao Yu’s ‘cunning plan’ was successful, allowing him to stay behind. The five children slept in a row on a one-meter bed, which barely accommodated them. Due to the limited space, one child who slept slightly differently ended up falling onto the others.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the room, feeling uneasy. She had been in Han Cheng’s embrace and squinting her eyes for a while. When she heard the cub still making noise, she sat up again and suggested, “Why don’t I bring Xiao Doubao over and sleep with us? It’s getting a bit crowded over there.”

Han Cheng pulled her back into his arms and kissed her, “No, he likes to sleep with his brothers.”

Su Xiaoxiao struggled and wriggled in Han Cheng’s arms and said, “Xiao Doubao listens to me very much. If I ask him, he will agree.”

Han Cheng’s eyes darkened as he pulled her back into his arms once again. Lowering his head, he kissed her chattering mouth and firmly said, ‘I don’t agree.’

……

The cubs continued to sleep soundly. Initially, Su Xiaoxiao worried that Xiao Doubao might get accidentally crushed by the big cubs, but fortunately, it didn’t happen.

When it was time to wake up and exercise, the four older cubs would immediately get up upon being called, resembling disciplined trainees in the military.

The movements of brushing their teeth and washing their face were almost identical, and with Han Cheng’s command, the cubs followed him one by one and trotted out.

Li Yufeng, who was sweeping the floor, secretly exclaimed that the children who grew up in the military region were different, obedient, and disciplined.

She sighed in secret, not to mention that Xiaobao doesn’t want to go back, even though she doesn’t want to go back. Life here is so good.

It wasn’t just because she ate well and slept well, but rather because of the atmosphere.

The city is filled with anxiety and chaos, while Su Family Village is considered very peaceful. However, every time Li Yufeng saw intellectuals from the city either living in the cowshed or working on the farm, and the new batches of educated youth became younger and younger, she felt very uncomfortable. So, whenever she saw them, she tried to lend them a helping hand. In contrast to that, this place truly feels like a paradise.

No wonder Xiaobao likes this place so much.

Li Yufeng relocated Zhou, Fen, Mian, and Fan from the vegetable field and erected a small fence at its edge. The chicken manure, combined with the weeds previously stacked aside by Han Cheng, was gradually incorporated into the vegetable bed, allowing them to decompose and ferment into natural fertilizer.

In Sujia Village, the land would need to be irrigated with a circle of wastewater for it to be fertile, which naturally wouldn’t be feasible in one’s own yard as it would make everyone dizzy from the smell.

Li Yufeng finished all this before Su Xiaoxiao got up.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out and yawned, “Good morning, Mom.”

“The laziest person in the whole family is you, a big lazy person. It’s almost seven o’clock, how can it still be considered early?” She was tired from work.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged her hardworking and great-at-work mother and said, “I’m not the laziest person in my family. Xiao Doubao is still sleeping soundly.”

Li Yufeng poked her daughter’s nose and said, “You still want to compare yourself to a baby under two years old.”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Our family members are equal, and compared to other people, I am much better than them.”

Li Yufeng shook her head and said, “You go and bring me the vegetable seeds. I also brought some from Sujia Village, but I don’t know if the climate here is suitable for planting those vegetables.

Su Xiaoxiao gave all the seeds bought by Han Cheng to Li Yufeng.

Li Yufeng compared them and classified them into several types, such as pumpkin, winter melon, bitter gourd, bean, mustard, radish, and so on.

She selected several suitable ones for planting now and left the rest to Su Xiaoxiao for safekeeping so that she could plant them all next spring.

Among them, Han Cheng mentioned things like carrots, beans, big cabbage, and small rapeseed. Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Han Cheng is truly impressive; he is knowledgeable even in this field.

Ginger, scallions, garlic, coriander, and purple perilla can actually be grown throughout the year, but their growth may be affected in certain seasons. Therefore, Li Yufeng decided to plant some of them.

At Su Xiaoxiao’s strong request, Li Yufeng planted several chili peppers for her. All of the seeds were taken from dried chili peppers, and Li Yufeng herself wasn’t sure if they could survive.

Li Yufeng planted green beans and snow peas along the side near the wall. She inserted a bamboo stick into each hole and positioned them toward the wall. This way, as the crops germinated, they would climb directly up the wall using bamboo as support. Eventually, the wall would be covered with lush green beans and snow peas.

Just the thought of it made Su Xiaoxiao incredibly happy, and she couldn’t help but admire the boundless wisdom of the hard-working people in this era.

After Li Yufeng completed her work, the morning exercise team returned, but Xiao Yu was absent. He had already been taken home by Zhao Xianfeng. The child had mentioned that he wanted to have breakfast at the Han Family’s place before going home, but Zhao Xianfeng refused and swiftly hoisted the child onto his shoulders, which caused Xiao Yu to cry loudly in anger.
