Li Xiaoran nodded, took the bamboo basket from Li Shun, and tied it to her waist.
The advantage of this method was that she only needed to reach into the bamboo basket to grab the peanut seeds and throw them in the ground.
It was convenient and efficient.
With that, the father and daughter began to move.
Li Shun was a meticulous person. As soon as he dug a few holes, he thought of something and turned around to give the straw hat he was wearing to Li Xiaoran.
“Put this on. I have coarse skin anyway, so I’m not afraid of getting tanned!” When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she smiled and nodded.
Soon, one person made a nest and the other threw seeds.
The father and daughter worked together very quickly.
As she did farm work, Li Xiaoran told him why she was here.
“Father, I’ve never asked you and Mother if you have any plans for the future! After the new house is built and you move in, what will you rely on to make a livelihood?”
When Li Shun heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he knew that she was worried about them, so he laughed.
“Actually, I’ve already thought about it! The furniture I made for you is not bad, right?! I plan to make furniture for a living in the future! If I make some furniture and furnishings to sell, I can earn some money. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Perhaps I won’t earn much money in the beginning, but I believe that with my skills, someone will buy the furniture and furnishings I made!”
This was the first time Li Xiaoran heard her father talk about his future plans. For a moment, she felt a little emotional.
It turned out that her father actually already knew what to do.
“I’ve thought it through. If I can’t earn money in the future, I won’t suck it up out of pride and torture your mother and sister. When the time comes, I’ll shamelessly borrow some money from you and my son-in-law. In the future, I’ll return the money to you after I sell the furniture! Anyway, we’re family. There’s no problem with losing face in front of each other!” Li Shun said with a smile.
In the past, Li Xiaoran would definitely say that she would just give them money if they needed it.
However, after what had happened previously and Old Madam Jin’s reminder, Li Xiaoran also noticed that she had to take care of her parents’ emotions.
Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment and said, “Father, don’t worry! The furniture and furnishings you made will definitely be sold. You made them so well. so how can they not be sold? Luo Cheng and I will definitely be able to
help you in this aspect. When the time comes, just focus on making furniture and do whatever you want. Leave the selling to us. We’ll bring the furniture you made to town to sell. We’ll definitely be able to sell them for a high price!”
“You’re just coaxing me! It’s not as easy as you say!” Li Shun said with a smile.
“Dad, I’m really not coaxing you! As you know, the value of the furniture you make lies in your skills. The difference between the furniture made by others and the furniture made by you is huge. When I went to town to buy seeds previously, I passed by a shop selling high-end furniture and furnishings and tooke a look. The famous craftsmen in the shop aren’t nearly as good as you! With just the slightest bit of promotion, the supply will outstrip the demand!
Anyway, you just have to do whatever you want! Leave the rest to me!” Li
Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and patted her chest to guarantee.
Li Shun thought of a possibility and said seriously, “Don’t buy it! Let me tell you, you can’t do this! You’ll end up harming me!”
“Father, what are you thinking?! Why would I do that?! Be more confident in your skills! With your skills, you can sell the furniture in the village. It’s just that this will be a waste of your skills. Some times, the skills are more valuable than the things themselves. Think about it, as long as the jewelry are from famous brands, the women from rich families are willing to pay an exorbitant price. My father will be a famous furniture decorator in the future!” Li Xiaoran said proudly.
Li Shun was very happy to be affirmed by his daughter.
“Alright, alright. Based on what you said, I’ll definitely make the best furniture!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and cheered her father on.
“Then I’ll wait for the furniture you made! ”
Li Shun smiled and nodded, feeling more and more confident.
“By the way, Father, have you heard Mother say what she wants to do in the future?” Li Xiaoran asked.
Now that her father had settled what he wanted to do, she couldn’t neglect her mother. She could ask her father about it first.
“Your mother?!” When Li Shun heard this, he frowned. “To be honest, I really haven’t heard your mother say anything! Your mother only wants to run your two shops. She doesn’t have any other thoughts!”
“Forget it, I’ll ask my mother when the time comes! My mother definitely has her own hobbies, but she’s been used to working for us all these years. Now that our family is doing well, it’s time for my mother to do something she likes!” Li Xiaoran said.
Li Shun was stunned.
That’s right! Over the years, she had never told them about her own hobbies.
Since she’d married him, she’d never expressed what she liked or disliked.
And he had never asked these questions.
Thinking of this, Li Shun suddenly felt guilty.
As a man, he was really irresponsible.
After he married the woman he loved, not only didn’t give her happiness, but also made her suffer so much with him. He didn’t even know what she liked.
Li Xiaoran looked at her father, who was stunned, and sensed his guilt.
Thinking of what had happened in the past, Li Xiaoran sighed and said softly, “Father, the past is in the past! It’s fine as long as you focus on living your future life to the fullest. You and my mother still have a long future! You still have many years to dote on my mother!”
Li Shun nodded and looked at Li Xiaoran.
“You’re right. Your mother and I still have a lot of time in the future. I still have a chance to treat your mother well!”
Li Xiaoran nodded. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled before continuing to work.
To be honest, plowing a piece of land was tiring.
Li Xiaoran did relatively light farm work, but she was still so tired that her bones ached.
However, after working and sweating, Li Xiaoran also felt more comfortable.
“How is it? Don’t you feel very refreshed after working hard?!” Li Shun teased when he saw that his daughter’s face was red.
After Li Xiaoran took out her handkerchief and wiped her sweat, she smiled and said, “Father, this is called detoxification! It expels the poison in the body through sweat, which is why it feels so comfortable.. In the next ten days, let’s bring everyone in the family to work for a day!”
