The Father's Choice Husband
Chapter 20
After breakfast and homework, my husband and I looked at the rice fields that my husband was part of as we planned last night. Not too broad, but good if you can use it. I looked around.
"Mas, it turns out that your rice field has plants?" I saw a red cayenne pepper plant that had started to bear much fruit. It can be harvested soon.
"Yes, I told you, my rice fields are cultivated by neighbors who have farming skills, but do not have rice fields. So tomorrow if we harvest, we get half of the crop." Cook Aak down from the motor vespanya.
"Oh, that. But if we do it ourselves, then the results can be a hundred percent for ourselves, Mas." I provoked my husband, to keep my mind in line.
"But the same Kasian who used to work on this rice field, Dek. What will he do if we take over this land for ourselves? Trus also farming is not as easy as you imagine. Treatment assorted. Not to mention later if there are pests, there is a rainstorm and so on, continue to crop failure how? It's even a loss. I've been out of capital, out of energy as well, but can not get any results, is it painful?" Aak's cooking put his hands together, like he's very experienced at this.
"Not to mention if suddenly fitting harvest, the price of finished goods dropped dramatically. Really, his heart ache is many times over! Moreover, I did not learn farming from the first, so very minimal knowledge," continued mas Aak.
"We learned from my father, he's been farming vegetables for years. So I can definitely teach you how. If about the neighbors who work on your rice fields, can he work on other rice fields that also have a father and mother?" I still want to farm alone, not caring about the risks my husband mentioned earlier.
"Yaudah, I'll say to you later. But yes, you can't start farming right now. At least yes after this harvest." Cook finally withered with my wish as well. I admit, I was stubborn.
"Okay, Mas." I smiled at the sumringah. At least later my husband will not just stay at home, lying down or playing games all day.
Suddenly, Cook's cell phone rang. He immediately took the phone from inside his pocket and received his paggilan. I listened carefully, who was calling and what his interests were with my husband. But unfortunately Mas Aak only answered briefly, between yes and no. Shortly after, the call ended, Mas Aak hurt his phone again.
"Dec, go home now yuk! I told you to go to work. There's work in the workshop." Cook explained briefly, densely and clearly.
"Alhamdulillah. Okay, Mas." I smiled, finally my husband got another job, after a long time unemployed, even from before we got married.
Mas Aak drove me home first, after I got off the bike, mas Aak said goodbye and went straight to the welding workshop where he worked.
"Where are you from, Mel? I wasn't there." My mother-in-law walked out of the house.
"From the fields, Mom. Look at the location, we plan to farm. Let it be able to have savings, apart from the work of Aak mas, also from the honor of teaching." I approached my mother-in-law, then regretted it. We were both alone this morning when we went to the rice field.
"Oh, that's it. Yes, it's good if he wants to cultivate his own land, itung-itung for Aak's work, than he just stay at home, nothing."
"It doesn't matter, he also works on our other land. If it is reduced by one plot of Aak ration only, no problem. He'll understand." She gave a calming answer.
"Oh, thank goodness then, ma'am. I can't bear to say I'm taking people's fortune. But yeah how else? We also want to learn to take care of ourselves, Mom. She was young, she was healthy, she was strong." I returned to give reasons that I thought made sense. Not because I'm a double eye. Life really needs money, right? Everyday life also requires money. Not to mention if there are friends or relatives who are idolatrous and so forth. It takes money to donate, right? My honor from school may not be enough to meet it all.
"Yes, no papa, Mel. That's a good thought. Try it, from the first Aak want to learn farming, he can certainly cultivate his own rice fields, just like his kaka-kaknya. But Aak is basically males and spoiled. So he doesn't want a little hard work. He said he was afraid of being skinny and so on. But if you want to cultivate rice fields, the body should be healthier, right? Because it's like exercise. It's not even a matter of minutes" my mother-in-law explained again.
I get it, it turns out that the thought of Mas Aak has been ridiculous from the first. Even his father and mother behaved like that. There is no fear in both.
"If I'm used to going to the fields, ma'am. My father and mother farmed and raised cows. So do not want, from a small already to the rice field. Follow help. If you can't help in the rice field, it's most just bringing grass from the rice field to the cowshed." I tell you my real experience is still very little.
"That's good, Mel. So you can teach Aak little by little. I'm lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you. Because of you, Aak wants to change, to get better." Mom smiled, looking sincerely giving me compliments.
"Hopefully it can be better and better, ma'am. Because Aak mas still seems to be lost arising consciousness." I returned my mother-in-law's smile. Fortunately, he did not know about last night. If he knew, I would no longer have any face. Nangis-nangis asked for understanding and help from my super husband. It is not good to live with the in-laws like this, if again there are household problems so not free expression. Ketar ketir if in-laws know, and usually in-laws do like to find out.
"Aamiinu. Oh, ja. Where are you going? How did you feel in such a hurry?"
No, my mother-in-law would want to know.
"That, Mom. He said there was work, was called the boss," inevitably I had to answer, according to the truth. This is not a bad thing.
"Alhamdulillah, understand what he is."
"I don't know that, Mom. I haven't asked further." I smiled a little, I expected, the mother-in-law will ask from end to base.
"Yes, hopefully not just a day two days, but it can be sustainable."
"Aamiin's."
I wish I was just like my mother-in-law. Even if it doesn't help my homework, at least work, make money. Not just lying down and playing HP all day.
