Upon hearing this, Gu Yanshu finally understood that his father-in-law wanted to have a grandson.
Speaking of which, he and Yuntianjiao have been married for more than three months. The rapeseed was just a seedling and now it is almost ready to be harvested.
But he and his wife still behaved as roommates and made no progress at all.
If this continues, how can we have children?
However, Gu Yanshu understood his father-in-law's mood.
He walked over and took the bamboo pole in his hand, and said comfortingly: "Dad, this can't be rushed."
Yun Laosan originally thought that his son-in-law would stand with him, but now he sighed deeply after hearing what he said.
"You, just spoil her!"
Gu Yanshu leaned the bamboo pole against the wall and continued to persuade: "Dad, actually I think there is nothing wrong with not having children for the time being. This pigsty has just been built and must be managed well."
"Almost everyone in the village knows that our family is going to engage in breeding. If we don't do it well and make a name for ourselves, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"I have to go to work every day, and Jiaojiao is busy with things at home and outside the house!"
"If we want to add another baby at this time, we will be too busy!"
Yun Laosan's words sounded somewhat reasonable, but he was still a little unconvinced.
"When the baby is born, can't I just take care of it?"
Gu Yanshu smiled helplessly when he heard this, "But before the child is born, Jiaojiao has to carry it in her belly every day. She is busy with her pregnancy, how hard it is!"
"Dad, let's wait!"
Seeing that he had said this, Yun Laosan had no choice but to give up.
"Forget it, you young people have your own ideas, I don't care."
Gu Yanshu smiled when he saw this and said nothing more.
Seeing Yuntianjiao busy in the kitchen, he followed her in and found a sickle.
"Jiaojiao, let me go take a look in the fields!"
After saying that, he went out, wanting to go to the field early to see if the rapeseed could be harvested.
Seeing that he was so arrogant and so quick to leave, Yun Tianjiao felt a little depressed.
It's not like she didn't hear what Gu Yanshu said to her father just now.
She was still very happy with Gu Yanshu's understanding, but now she was a little unsure of what he was thinking.
It's not like she hadn't heard Sun Yulian talk about that before. Speaking of which, Gu Yanshu was a man. Didn't he have such requirements?
If so, he never mentioned it!
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it, and Yun Tianjiao became even more irritable.
Gu Yanshu didn't come back until dark after leaving. Even his trousers were stained with grass and mud.
Seeing his appearance, Yun Tianjiao immediately asked: "Can rapeseed be cut?"
Gu Yanshu responded, "Yes, it can be cut."
When Yun Tianjiao heard this, she immediately said, "Then I'll go get it cut tomorrow!"
"No need," Gu Yanshu said after washing his hands: "It's faster to cut rapeseed. I can take it with me in the morning and evening before and after get off work."
When hoeing, I was worried about removing the rapeseed, so it was slower, but cutting the rapeseed was different. As long as I could keep up with the speed, I could just cut it and put it in a small pile.
Although he said no, Yuntianjiao still insisted on going.
"The pigsty is about to be completed, and I don't have much to do at home. Besides, cutting rapeseed is easier than hoeing!"
When Gu Yanshu heard this, he still didn't want her to go to the ground, "Don't go, you are too busy right now, take a rest at home when you have time."
"After harvesting the rapeseed, there is still wheat left. Do you have to wake up early and stay up late every day?"
It's not that Gu Yanshu has never thought about this. If he works harder, he can always finish it.
"It's okay, it will be done soon."
As soon as he said this, Gu Jianrong and Gu Lingmei also said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, we will be busy during the holidays. When the holidays come, we can all go to work in the fields."
Seeing them all saying this, Yun Tianjiao frowned and expressed her thoughts.
"Yanshu, how about we contract the fields to others for farming!"
As soon as he said this, Gu Yanshu, who was about to eat, was stunned.
Gu Jianrong also stopped using his chopsticks, a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, our family has to pay public food."
Gu Lingmei also nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, if we don't farm, we won't have food to hand over!"
Yun Laosan also sighed at this moment, "Well, if I didn't have an old injury and couldn't bend down, those acres of land wouldn't be a big deal to me! What a pity..."
Gu Yanshu listened to their words without saying a word, but he understood that since Yun Tianjiao would say that, she must have a plan in mind.
"Jiaojiao, tell me, what are your plans?"
Seeing that he didn't object immediately, Yun Tianjiao continued.
After all, this is the responsibility of the Gu family. As the current head of the Gu family, he has the right to make decisions.
"I thought, in our family, one goes to work and the other goes to school. I want to engage in breeding, and dad can't do heavy work now."
"Although we can do all the jobs in the fields, we don't know how to plow the arable land! Not to mention that there are no cattle, and there are no plowing tools."
"That's why I said that we should contract the land to others. Of course, we have to sign a contract. Whoever grows our land will help hand over the public grain."
"Then those of us who should go to work will work hard, those who should go to school will go to school well, and those who are old will take care of themselves. I will be able to engage in breeding in peace. What do you think?"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Lingmei was the first to respond, "Hey, this is good! We don't have to farm, and we don't have to worry about paying public food."
Gu Jianrong also nodded, looking at Yun Tianjiao with a little more reverence in his eyes.
Yun Laosan also gave a thumbs up, "You are the only one who can come up with this trick."
Seeing that none of them had any objections, Yun Tianjiao looked at Gu Yanshu and said, "Yanshu, what do you think?"
Gu Yanshu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll listen to you."
His eyes were burning, and there was a smile on his lips. Although the shoes on his feet were full of mud, Yuntianjiao was still attracted by him and her heart was beating fast.
She had always known that he was good-looking, but her heartbeat had never raced as fast as it did now.
"Since...since you all agree, then I can find someone to take over the contract tomorrow!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, we will listen to you."
Hearing this, Yun Tianjiao continued: "But this season, we have to take it back."

After Gu Yanshu washed up and went back to his room, he took out a dozen dollars from his pocket.
"These are the royalties for my submission, you can keep them."
Yun Tianjiao knew about Gu Yanshu's submission, but she didn't expect that he would give the money to her.
Yuntianjiao tidied the bed but didn't answer.
"You can keep these! If you don't need them, give them to me."
Although a man should make money to support his family, Yuntianjiao didn't want him to have empty pockets and not be able to take out a penny.
When Gu Yanshu saw that she didn't answer, he put the money on her pillow.
"I don't do anything, and I have nowhere to spend the money."
Yun Tianjiao didn't think so, "Why don't you have any place to spend money? It's a change of season, why don't you take Jianrong to make some clothes together?"
She thought about it, she was responsible for Lingmei's clothes, and let Gu Yanshu buy or make Jianrong's clothes!
Gu Yanshu thought about it and took the money back.
Then he pulled out his chair and sat at the table again, preparing to continue writing some articles about medicine.
Because of the articles he submitted before, the newspaper was very optimistic about it and planned to set up a small column for him to write some articles about health preservation and disease prevention and treatment.
If the feedback is good, his fee will be increased again.
Gu Yanshu thinks this is a good side job. It will not delay work and can also increase income. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Yun Tianjiao saw that he had started writing again and was not prepared to disturb him.
But when I thought about what my father said to me today, I couldn't help but ask.
"Gu Yanshu, do you want a child?"
