"Grandma, we can sell the pigs and chickens, rent out the fields and vegetable plots to others, and let the village chief take care of the house. These are not a problem."
“Besides, we only have two acres of land, and one and a half acres of it is sandy. We can’t grow much food.
We are all women in our family, and we don’t have any labor. I don’t want you to be exhausted again after I have worked so hard to get your bodies in good shape.”
Su Qiao tried to persuade them with both emotion and reason, but Mrs. Liu and her mother were still very hesitant.
When Jamel Xiao heard this, he interrupted very honestly: “I have the strength, I can help plant it.”
Since they are going to be together, then the Liu family’s affairs are his affairs.
If Old Liu's son-in-law doesn't farm the land, who will
Jamel Xiao really wanted to show off.
pity…
Su Qiao rolled his eyes at the person who was holding him back, and said fiercely, "What are you doing? If you want to go to school, you can't reach it no matter how strong you are."
Old Lady Liu was afraid that they would quarrel, so she quickly persuaded them, “Qiao’er, your idea is good.
But if you go to college in a big city, it will definitely cost a lot. If your grandma and your mom stay in the village, they can raise a few more pigs and chickens, so you don’t have to worry about running out of money when the time comes.”
On this matter, Su Qiao was unusually persistent:
"Grandma, our sandy land will be expropriated soon. The compensation will be enough for me to finish college and start working. After I get a job, I can fully support you and my mom.
"Besides, you can do some small business in Kyoto when you go there. My soilless cultivation is for you, my mother, and Aunt Xiuying."
"Then we can rent a bigger yard, build a shed in the yard, put up some racks and we can get started."
"Besides, my vegetables will be mature in about a month, and you can sell them all year round. You can make money and take care of us. How great is that."
If he had not considered this point, Su Qiao would have directly taught them how to grow greenhouse vegetables and would not have spent so much time researching soilless cultivation.
Old Mrs. Liu and her daughter looked at each other and saw helplessness and compromise in each other's eyes.
Old Mrs. Liu touched her granddaughter's head kindly and said, "Child, you've already thought about it."
Su Qiao knew that they had no objection, so she went over and hugged the old lady's arm, saying coquettishly:
"Of course, I can't bear to leave you and my mother."
Although she was reluctant to leave the small village where she had lived for so many years, Grandma Liu really had no choice but to let her granddaughter go.
She was a decisive person, and she was determined, so she immediately said to Jamel Xiao:
"Xiao Sheng, go back and discuss it with your mother. If she thinks it's okay, then we can go together."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell her right away." Xiao Jingcheng didn't hesitate at all, put down the bucket and ran home.
Looking at his back, Old Lady Liu looked at her granddaughter and said, "Qiao'er, tell me the truth. Do you like that silly boy?"
Su Qiao did not hide it: "Grandma, I like it."
"But we still have to take a good look and test it out. There's no rush anyway. We still have four years of college."
Old Lady Liu glanced at her daughter who was still marveling at the bucket, and hugged her granddaughter with great relief:
"Yes, even if you really like someone, you still have to test them out. You can't be like your mother in the past. Once you like someone, you don't care about anything else and just want to marry him. As a result, you suffered so much."
"Grandma, do you think I look like someone who would suffer a loss?"
Su Qiao shook his fist fiercely: "If he dares to do something behind my back, I will make him pay for it."
Old Lady Liu thought about it again, her granddaughter and Jamel Xiao… It was obvious that Jamel Xiao was at a disadvantage.
