Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Men and Women are Different(2)_1

The remaining day laborers were envious when they saw Zhou Dasheng’s family being retained and also professed a desire to work.

Cui Da retained some handy and capable individuals, instructing them to go to the clearing the next day to sort out the ditches.

Most people had tasks to do, and the few remaining were found by other villagers. Everyone was delighted.

"Ziyin, is it possible to grow white radishes and bok choy on all these fields at once?" Lin Changshu asked, finding it surreal to look at the well-leveled wheat field. Over a dozen mu* of wheat usually took less than two hours to harvest, and now the fields were already plowed and seeded. The more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

"We should plant white radishes while the weather is still hot; by the time it cools down, we’ll be ready to harvest and pickle them," Lin Ziyin explained.

After the white radishes, the most widely planted crops would still be bok choy and soup greens.

"Will it be on time?" Despite Lin Ziyin’s confidence, Lin Changshu was a little worried. He himself was an experienced farmer too, but he had never heard of planting two crops in the Northern Land.

"The pickled vegetables don’t need to be too aged, so the vegetables harvested when the weather cools down will be just right," Lin Ziyin explained. "Brother, it’s a waste to leave the wheat fields idle. I just want to try. Anyway, if the harvest is good, it’s a good thing. If it doesn’t grow well, at most we’ve lost some vegetable seeds."

This reasoning was sound, and Lin Changshu stopped protesting. He laughed, looking at Lin Ziyin, "You have so many ideas, I can’t keep up with you."

"I’m just trying, I can’t guarantee success," Lin Ziyin laughed in response.

"It’s good to try, even if it doesn’t succeed, there’s no harm." This time it was Lin Changshu’s turn to comfort her. "The sun outside is too strong, you should go back and stay in the house."

"Okay, let’s go back together," Lin Ziyin agreed. After suffering from a heatstroke once, her family started to treat her like she was made of porcelain. Once they saw her standing under the sun for more than a few moments, they would immediately urge her to go inside and rest.

Prince Chu Suifeng went even further; even if he was too busy to show up at the Lin Family’s courtyard, he never stopped sending things. He even instructed Lin Zige and Guo Huiniang to watch her closely so she consumed blood swallow nests daily or other types of supplements.

If she went a day without consuming them, the two pregnant women, Lin Zige and Guo Huiniang, would quickly burst into tears, scaring Lin Ziyin away from staying at home. Those supplements made her feel like her nose was about to bleed.

Thinking of Chu Suifeng, Lin Ziyin mentally cursed him.

"Miss, the prince is at the manor, waiting for you to return," said Congyi, appearing out of nowhere as soon as she had finished mentally cursing Chu Suifeng in her heart. "The items you requested have all been delivered."

"Let’s go," Lin Ziyin immediately left, seeing that the items for making the crossbow had all been delivered.

Lin Changshu was surprised and secretly guessed what the prince could have sent this time that made Lin Ziyin so impatient to return. He also hurried back with a sense of curiosity.

Upon returning home, Lin Changshu’s eyes widened in surprise. This time, Chu Suifeng didn’t send jewelry, cloth, supplements, or any rare items. Instead, in a secluded courtyard, there were piles of wood.

The wood seemed a bit different from ordinary pieces, though he couldn’t really pinpoint what was different.

"Why are you standing under the sun again?" Chu Suifeng frowned as he saw Lin Ziyin’s flushed face, her forehead and nose beaded with sweat. He walked up to her and extended his hand.

While others may not have understood what this gesture meant, damn it, Qiaoqiao understood only too well.
