Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 371 Sign on

Is childbirth painful?
This is beyond doubt.

The pain of childbirth is rated as level twelve, which is the most severe and unbearable pain.

“It definitely hurts!” Zhang Ruoxi said, “but it’s still within my tolerance. When I gave birth to them, it didn’t take long either. It was definitely painful during childbirth, but after they were born, there was a strange sense of happiness. That feeling makes you feel that the pain is nothing.”

Mu Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, then asked about cesarean sections.

“I had a C-section, and I was given anesthesia during the delivery, so I didn’t feel anything,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “However, you can go to other wards to see. Women who have C-sections have to stay in bed for two days, which makes it difficult to move around, and the incision is very painful. Are you pregnant?”

"Yes!" Mu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "I found out a couple of days ago. It was a bit of a surprise, but since I'm pregnant, I have to give birth to the baby."

Pregnant?
Xu Yue glanced at Mu Xiaoyan but said nothing.

They've been married for quite a while, so isn't it normal for her to get pregnant?
They weren't pregnant before because they didn't plan to conceive.

This pregnancy was somewhat unexpected and clearly unplanned.

However, after becoming pregnant, I naturally never considered abortion.

After all, they are not young anymore.

"What do you think about the school?" Xu Yue asked. "It's best not to do too much physical labor during the early stages of pregnancy."

“Let’s keep going,” Mu Xiaoyan said. “When we go down to the ground, it definitely won’t be the same as before.”

Schools aren't just for farming; students also learn other things.

Although he focused on the methods of cultivation, he also balanced work and rest.

I will also study agricultural writings, ancient agricultural works, and modern agricultural knowledge.

Going to the fields to farm is just one of the compulsory courses.

Mu Xiaoyan didn't stay long either, clearly having deliberately kept track of the time.

Not long after she left, Zhang Ruoxi's parents arrived.

They came from Yanjing.

Xu Yue went to Zhezhou, and they had already returned from Han Lingxue's house.

The wedding date has been set.

At the end of the year, following Lu Zhenyu and Xiong Yong.

Zhang Ruohai and Xue Yan also returned to Yanjing when Xu Yue went to Zhezhou.

However, he didn't come this time.

"So cute!" Yang Qingyi said with a smile. "The two children look exactly the same as when they were little."

Both children resemble their mother.

That's what everyone who's seen the child thinks.

Xu Yue naturally had no objection to this.

Whoever they resemble, aren't they still his children?
Moreover, it's not uncommon for children to resemble their mothers as children but their fathers as adults.

Of course, Xu Yue doesn't care who the child looks like.

Both he and Zhang Ruoxi are very good-looking, so no matter who they resemble, their child's looks will be good.

Some children inherit their parents' flaws, and that's truly outrageous.

However, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi really have no flaws in their appearance.

Both of them are good-looking and tall.

"Have you chosen a name yet?"

Zhang Zelin asked the question.

He didn't hold the child, but his eyes were always on the two children.

"I took a few as spares. I'll find a Taoist priest to do a fortune telling and check their horoscopes later," Xu Yue said. "It concerns the child, so it's good to believe him."

Zhang Zelin nodded.

They didn't believe it before, but they still did it anyway, like giving names to children.

This actually has little to do with whether you believe it or not.

When it comes to children, whether it's science or superstition, we should try to steer things in a positive direction.

"Your brother will probably get married next year too."

Yang Qingyi teased the child for a moment, then spoke.

"That's good news," Zhang Ruoxi said. "He's finally settled down."

“Only Xue Yan can keep him in check,” Zhang Zelin said. “That’s good.”

As for being afraid of one's wife, it's better than just fooling around all the time.

Zhang Ruohai's personality requires someone to keep him in check.

Finding someone who listens to him completely is definitely not a good thing.

Zhang Ruoxi's parents stayed in the hospital for two days before returning to Yanjing.

They are indeed very busy these days.

Xu Yue never expected that Yang Qingyi, the grandmother, could help take care of the child.

She probably can't bring it either.

Zhang Ruoxi didn't stay in the hospital for more than a few days before returning home.

With the help of a caregiver at the hospital, Xu Yue quickly learned how to change diapers and dress the baby.

He showed no impatience whatsoever, nor did he feel that a grown man was unsuitable for doing these things.

Zhang Ruoxi has enough breast milk and does not need to feed formula.

This saved Xu Yue a lot of trouble, but it meant Zhang Ruoxi would have to work harder.

Because there are two children, they are fed one after the other.

The baby is small and nurses frequently, and sometimes falls asleep after only a couple of sips.

Only after becoming a parent myself did I realize how hard it is to be a parent.

I raised him with so much care, from his poop to his piss!
Xu Yue understood these words more and more deeply.

However, the two children love to laugh but don't love to cry.

Whenever you see your child smile at you, all the frustration from taking care of them instantly disappears.

"Didn't you consider hiring two professionals to take care of the child?"

After Xu Yue returned, Tian Yizhi came.

However, they left the gifts but did not go inside.

He sought out Xu Yue about work-related matters.

"I'm still considering it," Xu Yue said. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Do you need a nanny?

Li Xiurong was not very willing; she felt that she was capable of taking care of him.

Zhang Ruoxi also wanted to raise the child herself.

Xu Yue was also somewhat reluctant to invite him.

Although hiring someone made things easier for me, I was still a little worried.

Even if the other party is more professional than you, you still feel inexplicably uneasy.

Of course, some people also want to watch their children grow up day by day.

"The matter concerning the two villages over there in Lijia Village," Tian Yizhi said, "what do you think we should do to resolve it?"

“I’ll send Liu Chengji and the others over first,” Xu Yue said. “If they can’t handle it, I’ll go over there myself.”

"Ok!"

Tian Yizi nodded.

He naturally knew that Liu Chengji and his group were also capable of setting up formations.

As for why it was Liu Chengji, and not Guo Tianyou?

That's because Guo Tianyou has gone to the desert to finish up the work.

It will probably be a while before they can come back.

Tian Yi's visit was certainly not solely for the sake of renting a new village in Lijia Village.

That matter can be resolved with just one phone call.

Afterwards, Tian Yizhi talked about some things related to the farm.

Xu Yue wasn't very interested, but he still listened attentively.

It not only contains information about the current state of the farm, but also includes some of Tian Yizhi's plans.

That plan should be the main reason why Tian Yi came.

Everything else was just incidental.

"You decide what to do," Xu Yue said. "It's fine. By the way, judging from the feedback from the school, most of the first batch of trainees will choose to go to the farm after graduation."

"Graduation?" Tian Yizhi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "They're probably still a long way from graduating, aren't they?"

"It might not take four years," Xu Yue said. "However, it's really hard to say right now."

Many students will reach the second realm without needing four years.

Several of them are incredibly talented; they might even reach the second realm this year.

However, while the cultivation speed is fast, it's hard to say how fast one can cultivate supernatural abilities.

This is also why Xu Yue said it's hard to say when he will graduate.

School ranking is not based on the number of years of schooling.

One grade that hasn't grasped the feeling of Qi, one grade that has grasped the feeling of Qi, one grade at the first realm, and one grade at the second realm.

As for graduation, in addition to reaching the second realm of cultivation, one must also learn the corresponding supernatural abilities and formations.

At least we need to go to some mountain village and gradually replicate the Peach Blossom Village.

There are no students left in the first grade now.

They all sensed the Qi.

Many new ones have been added to the area.

However, Han Lingxue is still the only one in the second realm.

Han Lingxue is not a student yet.

Of course, while some are exceptionally talented, others are less so. Perhaps they won't reach the second realm for many years, nor learn the corresponding supernatural abilities and formations. Does that mean they can't graduate?

Of course not.

The Agricultural Science and Technology College, doesn't it also have the word "science and technology" in it?

If you lack talent in cultivation, then take the technological route.

Even if they can't get into the Academy of Agricultural Sciences after graduation, the farm can still arrange jobs for them.

They simply don't meet the requirements for starting a business.

Providing investment to enable them to start their own businesses naturally comes with conditions.

You appear to have reached the second realm of cultivation, and have learned all the necessary supernatural abilities and formations.

Otherwise, why would I invest in you?
The development of the farm requires many talented individuals, not just those with cultivation.

Those who graduate from the academy naturally know more than people outside.

"Really not hiring anyone?"

After Tian Yizhi left, Xu Yue went upstairs and couldn't help but ask about Zhang Ruoxi.

Seeing Xu Yue go upstairs, Li Xiurong immediately went downstairs to cook.

"Forget it!" Zhang Ruoxi said, "I'll just take care of her myself. Grandma and Grandma on my mother's side come to help out occasionally, and it should get much better when the child is older."

Will things get better once the child grows up?
It's probably even harder, especially when the child is learning to walk.

However, Xu Yue had no objection to Zhang Ruoxi's decision.

"After I finish eating, I'll go into the mountains," Xu Yue said. "Now that the name is confirmed, I can go to the hospital to get the birth certificate."

They were discharged from the hospital without birth certificates.

However, that is subject to time restrictions.

Dragging it out isn't good either.

For things like this, it's more sincere to visit in person.

Even if they have a very good relationship.

“Alright!” Zhang Ruoxi nodded and said, “I’ll go to the mountains to take a look after a while. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there.”

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

After the meal, Xu Yue went into the mountains.

He wasn't alone; Xu Jiangming was with him too.

After all, it concerns his grandchildren, and he wants to know as soon as possible.

After returning, he read many related books, watched a lot of related videos, and even searched online.

There are now many more fortune-telling apps on mobile phones.

This cost a lot of money.

Xu Yue found out, but didn't say anything.

That little bit of money is nothing.

However, Li Xiurong scolded him for being a sucker.

You can get your birth chart and the Five Elements calculated online, but I still can't really trust it.

Why waste that money?

Instead of wasting money, you might as well take a trip to the mountains.

Yu Suihai now spends most of his time in a Taoist temple in the mountains, only occasionally visiting a clinic.

He was skilled in medicine and even studied some alchemy, but ultimately he was not as good as Xu Zixu and Xu Chengyang.

He was ultimately not the main force in Dan Fang's research.

Xu Zixu is the one.

There are indeed research findings.

Although the ancient elixirs were not successfully refined, many new drugs were developed.

And those new drugs are the foundation of that pharmaceutical company's business.

Xu Yue and Xu Jiangming headed straight for the Taoist temple, encountering many tourists along the way.

Whether it's Taoyuan Village, Huashan, or other scenic spots in the mountains, there are many tourists.

The area already had many tourists, and with the Taoyuan Farm becoming a hit online, Taoyuan Village also became incredibly popular.

The scenic area naturally became popular as a result.

The scenic area has a large flow of people, and judging from the current situation, it's definitely making money.

Furthermore, the company strictly prohibits the act of carrying passengers.

Visitors who come here don't feel particularly welcome, but they also don't feel cheated.

The scenic area has a very good reputation.

The same is true in Taoyuan Village.

Prices vary, with everything clearly marked.

Moreover, the expensive items are mostly produced in Taoyuan Village.

That's high-end consumption.

As for the others, they are actually much cheaper than other scenic spots.

Water that costs one or two yuan might be sold for ten yuan at some tourist attractions, but compared to that, it's incredibly cheap here.

Down the mountain, the price was no different from the market price; it didn't increase just because it was a tourist area.

Of course, the prices are higher up in the mountains.

This is also reasonable.

After all, the cost would be much higher.

The workers carried water up the mountain; they can't have worked for nothing, can they?

That's also a cost.

Even so, it wasn't expensive.

When a scenic spot has a good reputation, more people will naturally come.

What's more, besides the beautiful scenery, there's also delicious food here.

Although the food is expensive.

But the world is never short of rich people.

Outside the Taoist temple, many people still stopped to take pictures.

The number of birds gathered in the Bird Forest has increased significantly compared to before.

However, the cost of feeding the birds is much lower than before.

And it also implies that the money comes from the sheep's back.

Those birds can earn their own food expenses.

The scenic area is selling birdseed next door.

Moreover, a path has been built into the Hundred Birds Forest.

Do you want to get up close and personal with birds?
I think I'll just buy some bird food to feed them.

There's no need for景区 staff to feed the birds regularly anymore.

Tourists can feed those birds until they are plump and white.

Nowadays, feeding birds involves not only financial contributions but also physical labor.

Shuaiming is at least conscientious; the bird food isn't expensive.

It's much cheaper than what you feed the monkeys on Mount Emei.

Moreover, it is more popular with tourists.

This undoubtedly gives tourists a novel experience.

Xu Yue and Xu Jiangming had no interest in watching tourists feed the birds, so they went into the Taoist temple. It wasn't exactly crowded, but it was definitely a place where incense was burning brightly.

Unlike other scenic temples, Sanqing Temple does not charge an entrance fee.

Of course, money for incense and candles is still needed.

I should still be able to make some money.

Taoist temples also have donation boxes.

However, Xu Yue knew that the money inside was useless to the Taoist temple and had been donated.

Used for charity.

This is not just what is advertised; it is also the reality.

Xu Yue was aware of this.

Of course, the Taoist temple also offers other services.

For example, fortune telling by drawing lots.

"Another terrible draw? I've drawn three times already! Taoist priest, am I going to die?"

The sound attracted the attention of Xu Yue, Xu Jiangming, and many tourists.
