Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu came to Taiping Field and looked at the plants that were growing very well. Gong Tianhao's eyes lit up.
He said, "Yu 'Er, these things are growing really well."
"Yes!"
"Is... is this a sweet potato vine?"
"No, is this a potato?"
Gong Tianhao's ears couldn't help but turn red. He was really dense when it came to farming!
He was someone who could remember anything with just a glance. He was a master at every kind of esoteric knowledge.
However, when it came to anything farming-related, the knowledge couldn't stay in his mind. He would recognize the crops wrongly without fail. He mistook peanuts for soybeans and potatoes for sweet potatoes. It had caused a lot of jokes among the Xiao Family.
"It's not my fault. They look so alike," said Tianhao Gong, a little embarrassed.
"..." Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Do they look alike? They don't look alike at all."
The only similarity between sweet potatoes and potatoes was that the fruits grew in the ground.
As for peanuts and soybeans, only God knew how Gong Tianhao would think they look alike.
Gong Tianhao pouted, "But they really look alike to me. I can't even tell them apart."
"..." Xiao Lingyu rubbed her forehead and said, "Forget it. We've debated this question more than a hundred times." She did not expect this business genius to face such troubles when it came to farming. However, it humanized him in a way. It meant that he was not perfect.
From the beginning, Gong Tianhao gave her the feeling that he was omnipotent. He was extremely smart and handsome. However, when it came to crops, he couldn't even tell the difference between cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. He was not born to be a farmer.
Xiao Lingyu walked among the rows of crops and studied them. When they were ready for harvest, it would be around the time she was ready to give birth. It was about another month away.
Gong Tianhao looked at the crops and sighed. "Our son is really blessed. When he is born, it will be during the autumn harvest season. Doesn't the villagers say that it means he won't have to worry about food for the rest of his life?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so superstitious."
Gong Tianchen said seriously, "Am I being superstitious? I truly believe that our son is blessed."
Blessed?
Xiao Lingyu was a little dazed.
In her previous life, Xiao Tong was born around the same time. When he was born, his family was already in tatters. After he was born, he was mocked by the villagers. He was despised, looked down upon, and called a bastard. His biological mother ignored and hated him.
When Xiao Lingyu was pregnant, she was often in a daze. She didn't eat much. As a result, Xiao Tong was weak and sick after he was born. Every few days, he had to go to the hospital for injections.
As a mother, she never even gave Xiao Tong a
hug.
Was Xiao Tong blessed?
No, he was pitiful and miserable. That was because he had an irresponsible mother.
At this point, Xiao Lingyu started to cry.
She regretted what she had done in her previous life. She couldn't be more shameless and stupid. How could she blame everything on a child who didn't even know anything?
"Yu 'Er, Yu 'Er," Gong Tianhao panicked when he saw Xiao Lingyu's red eyes. "Yu 'Er," Gong Tianhao called out for the third time. He grabbed Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and finally woke her up.
Xiao Lingyu came back to her senses and looked at Gong Tianhao's worried eyes. She asked with a confused expression, "What's wrong?"
Gong Tianhao looked worried and asked with concern, "I should be the one asking that. Why are you crying all of a sudden?".
Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion, "Am I crying?" Then, she wiped her eyes with her hand. She felt wetness on her fingers. She muttered, "I was really crying." She would cry whenever she thought of Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong really had a harsh life.
Gong Tianhao, "..." Yu 'Er didn't even know that she was crying?
His expression became more and more worried.
'Why was Yuler crying?
'Was she thinking about something sad in the
past?
'Was it something I said?'
Gong Tianhao asked anxiously and worriedly, "Yu 'Er, what's wrong? Tell me, okay? You're making me worried."
This had happened a few times before. They would be in the middle of conversations, and Xiao Lingyu would burst into tears without warning.
Gong Tianhao thought about those times, and he realized they all happened when they talked about their child.
Gong Tianhao narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Lingyu. Then, he asked sharply, "Yu 'Er, why did you cry? Did you remember something bad? Why is it that you cry whenever we talk about our child?" Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu's hand tightly to his chest. With a pleading look in his eyes, he said, "Yu 'Er, can you tell me? I've noticed that you'd cry whenever we talk about our child." Xiao Lingyu was shocked. She raised her head and stared at Gong Tianhao's serious eyes. Her pupils constricted.
