After harvesting the rice, they began preparing for the planting of the second season rice.

After plowing the field, Xiao Wanshan spread the fertilizer and manure in the field and let it ferment for several days.

However, when Xiao Siqian saw the manure being spread in the field, he found it hard to accept.

Xiao Jinli saw his slightly disgusted expression, rolled her eyes, and said with a hint of speechlessness, “Do you know what this manure is called scientifically? It’s called organic fertilizer, the cleanest fertilizer. Let me tell you, to grow green food, this manure is indispensable.

Those merchants claiming to sell green food, who knows how they actually grow their crops behind closed doors? Maybe they’re just chemically synthesized.”

Although Xiao Siqian knew about it, hearing it from Xiao Jinli was another matter.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Jinli continued, “Besides, if you don’t use this manure, can you expect pure soil and a bit of water to produce green food? If it were that simple, there wouldn’t have been so many people starving to death in ancient times.”

Xiao Siqian’s expression gradually softened, and he blushed slightly, saying,

He didn’t know how to explain his feelings.

He wanted to say that he never knew green rice was grown this way before.

But then he thought about his amnesia, and how could someone with amnesia know about the past?

Xiao Jinli waved her hand and said, “Brother Little Quan, you don’t need to explain to me. If you can’t get over this, then you might as well stop eating and live on air for a long and healthy life.”

Xiao Siqian,

As for working in the fields to transplant rice seedlings, Xiao Father didn’t require Xiao Jinli to participate, and even refused to let the women join in because he didn’t want his wife and daughter to be tired from working in the fields.

But Xiao Junxuan was different.

Since childhood, under his father’s strict requirements, he was the best at working both inside and outside the home.

Some villagers joked, “Such a capable and well-rounded young man like Little Xuan, who can handle both official duties and kitchen work, will surely be sought after by the girls.”

Xiao Father said with a smile, “As a man, one must bear the responsibilities of a man. We must not spoil our sons. If a son is overly indulged, the ones to suffer and toil later will be my daughter-in-law and grandsons and granddaughters.”

After hearing Xiao Father’s words, everyone found it amusing and looked at Xiao Junxuan with a mix of pity and sympathy.

Poor child, having such a strict and demanding father, it really is pitiful.

Of course, the villagers, seeing Xiao Junxuan being so sensible and capable, loving his mother and sister, and having a harmonious and happy family with the days getting better and better, were also inspired and began to educate their own children.

In this day and age, although boys and girls are treated equally, the perception in rural areas is still different between sons and daughters.

A daughter, once grown up, must get married and leave her parents, not staying by their side.

But a son, whether good or bad, will stay by his parents’ side. Deep down, parents tend to be biased towards their sons.

It may not be obvious on a daily basis, but when related interests are involved, this bias quickly becomes apparent.
