Chapter 754: 754 Qinghe farming
He nodded, “It’s locked.”
“That’s good. The rented house is right next to ours, and there’s a pile of dried ferns stored inside. If there’s any movement in our house, the rascal will be able to keep an eye on it.” She didn’t say anything more. After she finished sowing seeds in the vegetable field in the front yard, she moved to another field in the front yard, digging neat little holes in rows before planting the vegetable seeds one by one.
“Wife, let me do it.” Xiao Qinghe didn’t want to just stand by and watch.
She pointed to another hoe in the corner and handed him two packets of vegetable seeds, “There’s another hoe over there; you can plant seeds in the backyard’s vegetable field.”
“Okay.” He took the seeds and turned his wheelchair’s wheels, picked up the hoe from the corner and headed to the backyard.
Aside from not being able to walk, Su Qingyue felt that there were actually many things her fourth brother could do.
As long as it involved using his hands, he could do it.
Although she wasn’t teaching him to read anymore and the third brother taught him at night, he still studied diligently and didn’t act stubborn just because someone else was teaching him.
Second brother had said that it was enough for him to recognize characters, and he didn’t need to continue pursuing deep knowledge.
Their new house had two vegetable plots in the front yard and four in the back yard, all along the courtyard wall, not blocking the empty land.
After she finished planting seeds in the front yard’s vegetable field, she went to the backyard and found that her fourth brother had already planted seeds in one field and was planting seeds in the second field.
She watched as he sat carefully in his wheelchair, digging the ground. Since the wheelchair was not convenient to enter the field, he only stayed on the edge. He stretched out the hoe handle to dig and then, to plant the seeds, he placed the seeds on the iron of the hoe and passed them to the hole, letting the seeds drop before covering them with a little soil.
She realized that her fourth brother was quite clever in planting seeds .
In places he really couldn’t reach, he pressed his wheelchair into the vegetable field a bit and, after backing out, he shoveled the soil back.
Xiao Qinghe turned his head when he saw his wife watching him and blushed, mumbling softly, “Wife…”
She came over, rolled up her sleeve, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He looked up at her dumbfounded and whispered again, “Wife…”
Seeing her lovely red lips and white teeth, he really wanted to kiss her…
Unfortunately, she didn’t lean down, so he couldn’t steal a kiss like she had.
“Fourth Brother, there’s nothing between Li Gui and me.” She spoke quietly, “He deliberately climbed over the wall to leave, probably wanting you to misunderstand.”
Qinghe suddenly realized that she was explaining now because he believed her. If he didn’t trust her, then…
Given her character, she might think that explanations were unnecessary.
“I believe you.” His voice was elegant, and his gaze was full of tenderness as he looked at her intently.
She gave a slight smile.
In an afternoon, the two of them planted seeds in all six vegetable plots.
It was evening, and the sky was filled with streaks and bands of sunset glow, like different beautiful paintings, brilliantly colorful.
Wushan Village as a whole had an antique charm amidst the myriad of twilight rays.
The two of them left the hoe in the yard and locked the courtyard door of the new house.
Su Qingyue pushed the wheelchair carrying Xiao Qinghe towards their current old house.
It was like a stroll. Even though Xiao Qinghe couldn’t walk well with his legs, he felt quite content just to be with his wife , even if she had to push his wheelchair to move.
He looked at the distant rolling mountains, facing the evening breeze, and when he thought of his wife behind him, his heart was filled with overwhelming emotion.
How he wished to live for a lifetime.
How he wished this journey would never end and would just continue forever.
