Begging You to Break Off This Engagement! Chapter 22 part2

Unedited

Thank you to Melfina Vamp for the ko-fi~ ❤

“Ah, don't you want to?” Luo Fei seeing someone coming towards the fields near him, moved along the ridges in the plowed field like a little crab to Xi Yanqing's side. “I used to eat it every day in modern times, I am the kind of person who, without fruit, will be unhappy. This particular thing, I am unused to not having now. What about you?”

“Me? I am not very particular about eating. Let's take it slowly, as long as we work hard, there will definitely be fruit in the future.” Xi Yanqing could not help but tuck a loose strand of Luo Fei's fine black hair behind his ear. “Tired? If you are tired, then go take a break. ” This time it was not as cold as when they first transmigrated here. After May, except for a little coolness in the morning and evening, the rest of the day is basically quite warm. Before they would wear an inner set of clothes before layering an outer coat on top, and still feel that it was not enough. But now, wearing two layers felt too hot, especially if you were working hard, you'd get sweaty every day.

“Let's just quickly finish it and return, the clothes are already sticking to our bodies.” Especially for Xi Yanqing, on his back, there was a patch on his clothes that was soaked with sweat- the Yangtze river was two hundred meters away from their dry farmland. It was actually strange that Xi Yanqing who was going back and forth, getting water, was not tired or hot.

“Then you use the rest of the bucket of water to water the crops, I will go get another bucket of water, we should be almost done that way.”

“Isn't it already enough? If you look at it, there is only a little bit left now, only six or seven square meters. According to the amount you said to water with, this bucket is enough.” Luo Fei was puzzled. Why was he going to get more water?

“I said I would give you a reward, did you forget?” Xi Yanqing smiled and went to the river again.

Luo Fei originally wondered whether Xi Yanqing was going to catch two fish for him? Later, it was discovered that Xi Yanqing did not catch fish. After Xi Yanqing finished getting the water, the water was all poured onto a large piece of land with plants that Luo Fei did not know the name of. The plants were not big, they also didn't bloom any flowers, and the tallest only came up to his palm, and they all grew on the side of the road. After Xi Yanqing watered them, he dug them out.

“What are they for?”

“This is sweet, the scientific name of it is Solanum nigrum (black nightshade)*, it is part of the potato and eggplant family and is a type of small berry. It is dark purple after ripening and pretty sweet to eat. It can be eaten as fruit or used as a medicinal ingredient too. I plan to dig it out and plant it in our vegetable garden. After it ripens, it can be a snack for you, rather than just let it be eaten by birds." Xi Yanqing seeing that all the water had been all soaked in, took the shovel to dig out the black nightshade that had soaked up the water. He dug about twenty or thirty times, and dug up over 20 stalks. He knocked some of the larger clods of dirt against each other, leaving only half a fistful of dirt for each plant, so that water would continuously drip down on their way.

[T/N: Always thought these were poisonous lol]

“How did you know that these were here?” Luo Fei had never eaten this kind of thing, not in his previous world, not in this world either. The original host also did not seem to know that this thing could be eaten.

“When I came back to plow the land before, I saw it sprouting. But it was still too small. It would not be easy for it to live after transplanting, so I didn't move it.” Xi Yanqing put the black nightshade seedlings into the clay basket and lifted it.”Let's go.”

“I'll hold it.” Luo Fei originally did not think this way, but now that he knew he had done it for him, he increasingly felt that these little seedlings of this plant looked fresh and tender and lovely. He didn't know what kind of fruit they would end up with.

If it was only the plants, it'd be okay, but the soil caused it to be very heavy, thus Xi Yanqing did not let Luo Fei carry it. But Luo Fei always wanted to take it in his hand to take a look because he felt this thing was given to him, as his prize. In the end, there was no other method. When they arrived at the vegetable garden at home, Xi Yanqing let Luo Fei touch them until he was satisfied, and personally plant all these black nightshade seedlings, according to the method he instructed.

Luo Fei has never expressed such a strong interest in anything other than sewing kits. This was good. Not only did he personally plant the black nightshade seedlings, but the first thing he did after getting up every day was to water the black nightshade. He did this more diligently than washing his face and using the toilet, and these 20 or so black nightshade seedlings became his babies.

Xi Yan Qing seeing things was almost eating vinegar (jealous). If only he paid that much attention on him, wouldn't that be more suitable? ! If it weren't for the days getting warmer and there being more things to do, Xi Yanqing would want to grab Luo Fei and ask him when he would be moved by him. But the more the days passed, the busier he was, in the morning, before the sun was even up he woke up, and only when the night was pitch black did he enter his blankets, perhaps not even after saying 2 sentences and the man had already fallen asleep.

While Xi Yanqing was scolding Luo Fei for being a little foolish donkey,  he was also sulking by himself. He seemed to have forgotten that there was a kind of love in this world, the kind of love that starts with "loving the house and also its crow*".

[T/N: Idiom 爱屋及乌(ai wu ji wu) for "love me, love my dog" basically the author is saying that Xi Yanqing is forgetting that if LF likes everything from the seedlings to the house he'll eventually like Xi Yanqing]

After they finished sowing the dry farmlands, they still had to go farm the paddy fields. Luo Fei had said it from the beginning, he would not go to work in a place with leeches, even if he was beaten to death he would not go. Therefore, all the work in the paddy fields was up to Xi Yanqing to do. Luo Fei was responsible for delivering food at noon every day. All the other times, Xi Yanqing was the only person busily working in the paddy field.

The paddy fields here have not yet developed the method of dry germination and then transplanting into paddies. They all just directly seed the paddy fields, so the yield is very low. Xi Yanqing pondered over this and decided to sow three acres of dry farmland this year, and one acre to use for experimentation with the rice. Although there is no greenhouse, he still wants to try the dryland germination and then transplant into the paddy field, so that he can control the spacing between the seedlings. At that time, the rice leaves would have sufficient light, and the chances of disease would be much less in the paddy fields. The nutrition would also be balanced, the rice ears grow better, and the yield naturally increase.

Of course, all of this was his speculation at the moment. After all, the yield of plants has a lot to do with the seeds themselves and the climate.

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“What happened what happened?!” Xi Yanqing was currently examining the rice seedlings he had bred. Suddenly he heard Luo Fei's screaming, and was startled, dropping the seedlings and rushing over.

“Sprouted! Sprouted!” Luo Fei pointed to behind the black nightshade at the watermelon seeds he didn't know from where Xi Yanqing had obtained. They had sprouted, and immediately he was extremely excited, like a little cat wanting to eat fish as he circled around the patch of watermelon seedlings, “Look look, how cute are these watermelon seedlings!”

“Scared me to death, it's only this and you got so excited?” Xi Yanqing did not know whether to laugh or cry, “If you see the final product next time, will you cause the roof to lift off?”

“Aiyo, you used to deal with plants every day, of course, you don't think it's rare. This is my first time taking care of plants.” Although the final purpose was to eat, when he was raising them, he was truly happy! The sense of accomplishment that comes from raising seed to a seedling and then looking forward to them flowering was something hard to describe in words!

“As long as you like it.” Xi Yanqing put his arm on Luo Fei's shoulder, and said helplessly, “But excuse me, when you care so much about them can you also think of me, your hard-working pursuer?"

“What do you think?” Luo Fei unexpectedly did not immediately evade the question for the first time as he had done before.

“You tell me?”

“I don't know.” Luo Fei said with a smile and turned away, but his steps were not fast, as if he was waiting for someone to catch up…

Notes:

I know everyone including me has been waiting for this :3
