EBE Chapter 243 Peaceful Days
Chapter 243 Peaceful Days
Song Anning took two steps forward. Carpenter Lin's family rarely participated in village affairs. The three men were busy making furniture all day long, while the women tended to the vegetable garden. Could it be that they heard that her peppers made money and wanted to buy some pepper seedlings?
The woman asked directly in a loud voice, regardless of the number of people in the yard.
"I heard from the villagers that you have become more sensible. Now you won't poop in my well again, right?"
"..."
"..."
For a moment, the yard was silent, with only the big fat pig in the pigsty grunting a few times.
"Big Boss's wife, what are you talking about? Aning has changed, why are you still bringing up her childhood?"
Old Master Lin was a little angry and kept winking at her. People came to give money, but his wife was a brainless person, bringing up all sorts of issues.
However, the woman did not understand what Mr. Lin meant, and she refuted him unconvincedly:
"How can it be considered a childhood? It happened just a few months ago. I had to squat by the well in the freezing weather to dig out manure and fetch water for nearly a month!"
"..."
Song An Ning stood aside, her toes almost digging out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, and Xiangxiang was laughing at her in her mind.
"Hahahaha... the master is so ridiculous, shitting in someone else's well, how wicked!"
"..."
Seeing her face flush, Song Erhe laughed dryly twice and hurried out to smooth things over.
"Children of this age have different ideas every day and are difficult to manage.
But my granddaughter was just disobedient during that period, and now she has changed, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, Auntie, Aning apologizes to you and won't do that again."
Song An Ning quickly followed up on Second Grandpa's words and began to apologize. The woman's expression improved a little, but her tone was still cold.
"As long as you're sure it won't happen, I'm not deliberately trying to embarrass the child. I just get scared when I see Aning."
"..."
"Master, please think about what the original lady did. Whether it's compensation or an apology, don't bring it up so suddenly like today. It's too embarrassing, hahahaha..."
Song Anning said she was helpless too, it wasn't her who did it! Don't get involved!
However, she still said in a good-tempered manner: "Don't worry, Auntie, Aning promises not to do anything wrong again. If you feel that the well is not clean, I will pay for you to dig another one."
"No, just stop pooping."
"..."
After chatting with the Lin family for a while, Song Anning and the others started strolling around the village. Seeing the large expanse of sand, Song Anning pointed and asked:
"Second Grandpa, is this the land that Liujia Village gave us? It's a shame to leave it like this."
Song Erhe put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, looked at the land, and sighed.
"Silly girl, what else can we do if we don't leave it idle? That piece of land is all sandy and can't hold water, so we can't grow crops. I was thinking of asking the villagers to plant some trees to serve as a windbreak.
Besides, it will take a lot of effort to clean up this piece of land. The head of Liujia Village is not stupid. If it is a good place, he will not give it away so easily. "
Nowadays, everyone in the village is busy growing peppers, and no one looks down on this piece of land. Even when passing by here, they are bothered by the sharp pebbles that may prick their feet.
"Ding, the system detected that this is a piece of excellent sandy land, suitable for growing watermelons, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.
Since the gaps between the soil particles in sand are large and water permeability is good, sweet potatoes grow very fast in sandy soil. You can give it a try."
Song Anning had heard of this, but the planting period for sweet potatoes is divided into two periods. The first period has passed now, and the other period will have to wait for more than a month, so that it can be harvested in autumn.
The spring plowing had just ended and she hadn't stayed at home for a few days. She decided to stay at home for a while and live a peaceful life for a few days.
Seeing that Song An Ning didn't respond, Xiangxiang knew that her master was tired and wanted to have a good rest at home.
The wind in the early morning was a little chilly. After coming all the way back from the river, Song Anning's dress was covered with a lot of dew.
"Aning, this is the new clothes I made for you two days ago. Hurry up and change out of this one. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you, Sister Yingchun. You taught them calligraphy this afternoon, and I'll follow along."
"Huh? Really? If you don't study hard, I'll spank you anyway."
After Xiao Yingchun finished speaking, the two of them burst into laughter, and Song Anning told her to treat everyone equally.
The sky was dyed red by the morning glow, and those bright colors were like burning flames.
Song Anning returned to her room, changed her clothes, and opened the door. She saw Song Dashan looking at the sky and muttering:
"Rainbow in the morning, rain; rainbow in the evening, clear skies; it's going to rain."
"I just stay home when it rains. I've already planted the fields, so there's nothing else to do."
After chatting for a few words in the yard, everyone went about their own business. A few women from the village came over to help wash the duck eggs. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was noon soon.
After lunch, the sky turned gloomy, and soon the rain began to fall. Soon, the raindrops on the eaves formed a string, like a crystal bead curtain.
Song Anning huddled in the quilt, secretly took out her cell phone from her backpack, and looked through the recently recorded videos. Xiangxiang was very conscientious and recorded everything she could except sleeping.
"These scenes are too brutal. I can't let my parents see them. They need to be edited."
After carefully selecting and keeping some of the videos, Song Anning had a nice nap, and then got up and seriously learned to write with Xiao Yingchun.
In the next few days, the weather was not very good and it rained from time to time.
These days, Song Anning finally has time to sleep in, help his family pickle duck eggs in the morning, or go to the nearby mountains to collect plants.
I would study with the children for an hour in the afternoon, and spend the rest of the time either going to the village to see how the peppers were growing in each household, or taking a few children to the river to fish and catch snails and eels in the pond.
I would check the space occasionally and bring some food for my brother and Yu Xiaohai.
Everyone in the family had their own responsibilities. Xiao Ming and Xiao Yuanbao would go to the town every day to buy some things. They even bought a lot of meat and asked Qin Yuanying to make bacon. In this way, the supplies in the house increased little by little.
After working like crazy for more than a month, Song Anning was now free and didn't want to move at all. That night, she opened the system and checked the weather. It would be sunny for the next few days.
"After a few days of rest, it's time to get moving and work hard to upgrade the system to level three."
"Okay, Master, Xiang Xiang agrees with both hands.
But if you still feel tired, then you can rest for a while. The machine still needs time to rest, so don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry, I've been at home for five or six days, and this kind of peaceful life is what I like.
But in my situation, I can't just lie down all the time, so I better go work in the mountains."
"Okay, then where do you want to go, Master? We've already explored the nearby mountains, but there's really nothing there."
