She quickly went outside and find some tools for gardening. When she arrived outside she squealed in delight as she stretches her arms blissfully.

"yay, it's so good to be alive. The sun feels so warm" she muttered with closed eyes full of satisfaction.

The two followed her out and mimicked her, they were full of smiles as they hug their mother's thighs.

"alright you two stay there, don't dirty your clothes." she said as she pointed to a far corner and started using a hoe to plow the plot of soil.

"Brother, how long do you think would mother act pretentiously like an adult this time?" Zian Xi whispered to Zuan Xi who stood there without expectations.

"I think it wouldn't take long." he said thoughtfully as he drags her further away.

"I think so too" Zian Xi giggled. Zuan Xi just looks at his mother helplessly, though she was not good at anything she still managed to raise them well so he was also touched.

She clumsily plowed the soil and it flew away all over the place, after struggling a while she cried out sorrowfully.

"ahhh, I can't do this anymore. Damn those crooks they made it look so easy and effortless" she cursed when she remembered those TV programs about agriculture.

"mother, you should just plant the seeds directly like how you plant the others. You should just stop pretending and ruined this plot of soil" Zian Xi reminded her kindly with pursed lips.

Zhan wemei almost fainted, her children were too sensible that it was annoying. She turned her head towards them awkwardly as she stops plowing the land dejectedly.

"just let me be, okay? Just do your stuff or play, mommy will work hard" she picks up the hoe once again after giving it some thought, she won't give up this time.

the two glance at each other before going away feeling touched. They went to the other side to dig some sweet potatoes and pluck some wild berries.

Zhan wemei finally realized that she was not a rich young lady anymore so she can't go ask her parents for money, she has to work hard to raise her two children now.

She plowed the soil until sunset, her hand was full of blisters and sweat soaks her entire body.

"ah I'm dead tired" she collapsed on the ground for a long while. She only drags her body away when the two came back looking for her.

"Mother, I think you should take a bath" Zian Xi wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"yeah that would be better" Zhan Wemei laugh as she headed to the river downstream not far from their hut.

"you guys go ahead and wait for me, I'll cook dinner for you" she smiled lovingly.

They nodded and carried the basket of sweet potatoes and wild berries.

At a such young age, they were already sensible enough and learned how to take care of themselves. The previous zhang wemei was gentle and elegant. Though she doesn't know how to farm she still did her best to provide for her children, she would occasionally visit the temple to ask the old master for guidance when she was still pregnant.
