After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 68

After communicating with the village chief, the young couple returned home to look at the draft plan for their house.

It was largely designed according to the style of houses from that era, but with the addition of a bathroom and a separate toilet room.

Forgive her for losing face as a Transmigrator, but she couldn't understand the concept of a squat toilet.

Mainly because she had never learned about such things before, she didn't know how to deal with a squat toilet, so she just separated the toilet room.

At least it was better than having to put a chamber pot in the room now, and the dry toilet was also separate.

"Husband, shall we dig a well in our house?" Luo Ge suggested after studying the draft plan.

At present, they fetched water from the village well, which was quite a distance away from the village center.

It was tiring to go fetch water every day, but she didn't know if there were suitable groundwater sources on their plot to dig a well. If not, it wouldn't be feasible.

"Sure, our current courtyard has a water source, let's ask someone to help us determine the location, and we'll dig a well right here in our courtyard. What do you think?"

When building the house before, he had heard that there was a groundwater source underneath, but his family wasn't well-off at the time, and digging a well would cost around one or two taels of silver.

The family couldn't afford that much spare silver, and fetching water from the village well didn't seem too inconvenient at the time, so the elders didn't bother digging a well later on.

Now that they had more funds, having a well would indeed be very convenient for water usage.

"Alright."

When building a house, they needed to find someone to determine the orientation and feng shui. The master would be coming tomorrow, so they could take care of the well location at the same time.

It wouldn't be troublesome.

"I'll go check the fields, you stay home and rest."

After thinking through these matters, there wasn't much else to do.

Just then, he saw Wang Da and others passing by their gate with farming tools, so Gu Jinchen also wanted to go inspect the corn field and the other crops.

It had been half a month since he last visited, and weeds might have grown quite a bit, so he needed to go remove them before they took away nutrients from the crops.

"I'll come with you, I have nothing to do at home anyway, it's good to take a walk."

"Alright." Hearing her, Gu Jinchen didn't say anything else.

They first went to the corn field to inspect, and sure enough, weeds had grown, but not too much.

They had just sprouted recently and wouldn't be difficult to remove.

"You sit here, call me if you need anything."

He led her to a spot to sit down, patted her head and put a straw hat on her, then left those words and went down to work in the field himself.

Luo Ge: "......"

She was quite helpless about how he treated her like a delicate flower after she became pregnant.

She hadn't even reached the stage of being sluggish and unable to move much yet, she felt quite nimble.

But since he enjoyed pampering her, she naturally didn't act picky. If she acted picky too often, what would she do if he didn't feel like pampering her in the future?

She should just go with the flow~

"Husband, let me pick some wild vegetables, we can have vegetable pancakes for dinner."

After sitting for a while, she noticed some wild vegetables not far away and told him before going to pick them.

Since the vegetables in their garden became edible, they hadn't picked wild vegetables to eat for a long time.

Now seeing the tender wild vegetables, she felt quite tempted to taste the soft and fragrant wild vegetable pancakes again.

"Sure, be careful."

Hearing her, Gu Jinchen looked over and saw the spot she mentioned wasn't far, just nearby, so he let her go.

"Mm, I know."

Just as she responded, she heard a buzzing sound that made her back stiffen.

But after listening carefully, the sound was flying away, so she relaxed again.

Turning her head to look in that direction, she saw about a dozen bees flying in a group towards the woods.

"Were you startled?"

Before she knew it, Gu Jinchen had already heard the commotion and ran over to her, his brows furrowed with concern seeing her frozen body.

"No, I saw those bees had pollen on their legs, their hive must have honey now." Luo Ge shook her head, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing his little wife's bright eyes, Gu Jinchen: "......"

"Want some?" He pinched her little face, his smile both helpless and amused.

Luo Ge nodded repeatedly, then shook her head.

"Wild honey is good, but difficult to get, maybe we should forget it."

"Don't worry, your husband can get it for you."

They often encountered those in the mountains, and he had gathered them many times before. Back then, he didn't have a wife, he didn't like eating honey himself, and his little son couldn't eat too much.

So most of the honey was given to Li Qiao, used by his wife, or sold. There wasn't much left at home.

In any case, it was a simple matter for him.

He patted her head, wrapped her up snugly again.

"Wait for me."

With that, he followed the direction the bees had flown and disappeared into the woods in a flash, too quickly for her to even respond.

"......"

She could only obediently wait for him, sitting on the ground.

She picked some more wild vegetables, just enough for tonight's use, then stopped.

Soon after, Gu Jinchen returned with two large chunks of honey wrapped in large leaves he had picked from somewhere.

"Is this enough? If not, there should be more to find in these mountains."

Although this wasn't the peak honey season, there were very few people entering the mountains at this time, so basically no one touched these things.

So there was more to find in the mountains, but it was quite troublesome to gather, and not easy to locate.

"It's enough, no need to find more."

Luo Ge quickly took it and put it in the basket they had brought, taking out a jar from her space and putting it in the basket to store the honey.

Then she circled around him for inspection, "You weren't stung, were you?"

Bee stings could be really painful, he had dismantled their hive, hopefully he wasn't 'beaten up' by them.

Gu Jinchen opened his hands for her to check, then shook his head.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"That's good then."

After confirming he was unharmed, Luo Ge felt relieved and gazed at the wild honey, her mind brimming with ideas for delicacies.

The first thing she thought of was grilled meat - brushing on a layer of honey could lock in moisture, resulting in a nicely charred exterior and juicy interior that would be truly fragrant.

Honey could also be used to make floral tea and sweet treats.

On ordinary days, she could dilute some honey in water for a refreshing drink that could also soothe the stomach and help with beauty.

In the modern era, it was rare to find pure, unadulterated wild honey for purchase.

The honey in her space had other additives and wasn't pure honey from bee cultivation.

There was a significant difference compared to this pure wild honey.

That's why she had her heart set on this honey.
