Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Someone’s Admirer

Summer days drew to a close at a snail’s pace, with the sky still brightly lit at five or six in the afternoon. Her mother-in-law had gone to the hospital to see Elder Sister, and Cheng Su, with time to spare, wandered over to the fields.

In her past life, when she was a student, she busied herself with studies and working to pay tuition. After starting work, she scrambled to keep up with her job, only managing to take a long vacation abroad once a year. That was unlike this month, where she could stroll leisurely through the countryside.

It was now the time for the rice to ripen; in a few more days, the busy harvest season would begin. The rice stalks in the fields were heavy with mature grains, promising a bountiful harvest year.

As their lands lay to the north, they only grew one crop of rice a season. After the summer harvest, it would be time to plant wheat, which could be grown in two cycles, one in autumn and one in winter. Hence, many households consumed a lot of wheat.

The Qi family had saved quite a bit of old wheat flour. It was strange; despite having so much that they couldn’t finish it, resulting in its stale taste that couldn’t compare to that of fresh flour. Over time, it would even develop a musty old smell. She couldn’t fathom why they stored so much wheat flour.

Toward dusk, with the sun slanting westward and the temperature lower than at midday, there were many people working in the fields. Wearing straw or bamboo hats, with their pant legs rolled up, chatting or laughing, and with black and yellow dogs running and barking playfully in the fields, the scene was a picture of serenity.

Cheng Su picked two pieces of foxtail grass by the roadside to play with, walking along and taking in the surrounding pastoral scenery, relishing the rare peace.

"Hey, Taiguo’s wife." Two people carrying hoes approached her and stopped to greet her upon spotting Cheng Su.

Cheng Su didn’t recognize the two, only knowing they were fellow villagers. She smiled and said, "Auntie, have you finished your work in the fields?"

The woman addressed as Auntie replied, "Yes!" thinking to herself that since marrying into Taiguo, the young woman had become much more polite than before, no wonder the villagers now said she had become sensible!

Cheng Su smiled faintly, sensing a resentful gaze directed at her. She couldn’t help but look over to find a girl about seventeen or eighteen glaring at her with wide eyes.
