Chapter 846: Chapter 849: Love You the Most
Now, both donkeys could work earnestly, which made everyone truly satisfied.
Almond almost turned green with regret. Had she known this problem would be so easy to solve, she would have agreed to buy another donkey long ago.
With two donkeys pulling together, the task of grinding dried flowers, which was initially planned to take two days, was completely finished by evening.
"Madam, I have plenty of time today. Shall we go out and see if we can find some matsutake mushrooms?"
Almond sought Qiao Duo’er’s opinion first, otherwise, her madam would definitely spend another afternoon reading medical texts at home.
Qiao Duo’er had not forgotten the delicious taste of matsutake mushrooms and immediately agreed.
This time, without the luck of the last occasion, they wandered around the village for a long time without any discoveries.
But that was normal. If matsutake mushrooms were everywhere, they wouldn’t be so treasured.
So, Qiao Duo’er maintained a calm attitude and returned home, once again immersing herself in the study.
However, this time she did not look at Bai Yifan’s manuscript but picked up a needle and thread, as she was preparing to make a cotton-padded jacket.
Although many people had given clothes for the child, something made by one’s own mother held a different significance.
Qiao Duo’er had only stitched a few times when Tan Zhenghong came back. Seeing his wife’s maternal appearance, Tan Zhenghong couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
That little thing caused trouble every day and was undoubtedly a boy, which meant he wouldn’t be his wife’s most beloved man in the future.
"Wife, you must not overwork yourself for him."
Tan Zhenghong said earnestly.
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips, "I’ve only been sitting for a while. Don’t make a fuss."
"Wife, do you not love me anymore now that you have a son?" Tan Zhenghong’s face was filled with grievance.
Three black lines formed on Qiao Duo’er’s forehead. Who was this childish man?
Yet she still played along, saying, "Behave, of course I love you the most. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t care for this little thing, right?"
Thinking like this, Tan Zhenghong felt somewhat relieved in his heart.
As long as his wife cared about him the most, he didn’t feel so wronged.
"What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook for you."
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "I don’t have any particular cravings. I’ll eat whatever Almond prepares."
Though she said this, Tan Zhenghong still went into the kitchen and added a dish of braised bamboo rat for Duo’er.
Bamboo rat was delicious and nutritious, very suitable for a pregnant woman to nourish her body.
The next morning, Uncle Ming came over driving a bullock cart.
There had been a significant incident at the breeding farm recently, and he had rushed over to report. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Uncle Ming said happily, "Fourth Master, Madam, I’m here to bring you good news. The deer have been giving birth over the past few days—three males and four females, a total of seven fawns, all healthy!"
At this rate, the breeding farm would soon be thriving.
And once they harvested the musk, that would all be gleaming Silver!
"That’s wonderful. We’ll note this merit and give you a bonus at the end of the year," said Qiao Duo’er with a light smile.
Seven fawns surviving meant Aunt Ming and Uncle Ming must have put in a lot of effort.
Uncle Ming thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Madam. Actually, my wife and I didn’t do much. By the way, Madam, should we sell some of the deer now? Many people have made high offers."
Qiao Duo’er asked, puzzled, "I don’t plan to do anything with the breeding farm for now."
"After entering the village, I heard some rumors and thought relying on the deer could sustain us for a while."
Uncle Ming touched his nose awkwardly, seemingly concerned about too many things.
Qiao Duo’er was speechless, only able to assure Uncle Ming to return to the breeding farm with peace of mind. The financial issues were enough for her and Tan Zhenghong to worry about.
