53 Half a Foot Tall New Seedling

In spring, thunder and lightning could really fall without warning. Sometimes, as soon as one heard thunder, rain would follow.

The weather today was a little different. There was lightning above the village, but it did not immediately rain.

The villagers quickly tidied up their belongings and repaired the holes. They did not dare to waste any time.

Wang Chuanman and his brother had just cut off a branch when they heard a thunderclap. They were so frightened that they almost dropped the firewood in their hands.

“It looks like it’s going to rain. Go back quickly,” Wang Chuanfu said.

The two of them hurriedly carried the Green Pine Tree down the mountain and saw Old man Wang carrying a ladder to climb up the roof.

The roof of the house was all made of straw. When the wind blew, some of the straw that was not strong enough would fly up. Therefore, they had to stack on an additional layer of straw and give it another layer of firmness.

“Father, come down quickly. Let us do it.” Wang Chuanman hurriedly stepped forward and took over Old man Wang’s matter.

Old man Wang did not force himself. After coming down, he turned around and saw the green pine tree in the courtyard.

“The two of you are wastrels. How can you chop green pine trees for firewood? It’s already so big. In two more years, we’ll be able to make a few hoes with it!”

It was very difficult for the pine tree to grow thick, but it was very sturdy and was very suitable for making various tools.

“This belongs to Uncle Li De. He asked us to chop it up to make a small hoe and sickle for Ah Yu,” Wang Chuanman replied.

Old man Wang was silent for a moment.

Then, he picked up the firewood knife at the side and began to carve slowly.

He was still muttering, “The two of you aren’t good at craftsmanship yet. Why are you learning from others? I still have to do it in the end.”

Old Madam Wang was washing the clothes at home with her daughters-in-law.

The children did not stay idle either. They followed the adults to pick out the straw and placed it together to build the roof.

Little Ah Yu also helped to pick the straw. She was especially serious, her eyes bulging like a frog.

Because she was looking too carefully, her mouth bulged unconsciously. Her small body squatted there like a cat.

When the adults of the Wang Family saw this scene, they could not help but laugh.

“Aiya, you can’t eat this.” Little Ah Yu pushed the little lamb away. Since the little lamb refused to leave, she stretched out her two little hands to push it away.

The lamb thought that she was playing with it and pushed back. Instead, it pushed Ah Yu to the ground and she sat down.

“I’m going to ignore you!” Little Ah Yu pouted. Seeing that the lamb was about to come over again, she muttered, “I’m really going to ignore you.”

When Wang Wulang and the others saw their sister fighting with the lamb, they laughed secretly.

“Little Sister Ah Yu, our brothers are all tired. Why don’t you bring us some water to drink? We’re so thirsty,” Wang Xiaolang whispered to Little Ah Yu when Grandma wasn’t paying attention.

“Yes, yes, yes. Little Ah Yu, go and get some water. There’s no need to get too much, in case you can’t carry it.” Wang Wulang also reacted and hurriedly said.

The others said nothing, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Little Ah Yu clapped her hands and stood up. She patted the dust off her butt and nodded. “Alright.”

She really went to the house to bring over a basin of cold water. The few men fought to drink it.

After drinking it, their faces were filled with confusion.

After tasting it carefully, they said uncertainly, “It doesn’t seem to be so sweet anymore.”

Wang Wulang said, “I think so too. It feels the same as what we usually drink-”

As he spoke, he turned around and saw Little Ah Yu pout, looking a little aggrieved.

Little Ah Yu poked him with two fingers. “I’m… I’m sorry.”

Wang Wulang slapped his mouth and hurriedly said, “Fifth Brother was wrong. It’s actually very delicious and sweet. The water that Ah Yu brought is indeed different!”

The others also hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s especially delicious!”

“I’ve never drunk such delicious water.”

“Hehe, thank you, Ah Yu.”

Seeing the sincerity on her brothers’ faces, Ah Yu also smiled.

Meatball in the spatial pocket did not remind Ah Yu that her brothers probably wanted to drink the Myriad Spirit Water.

Previously, Ah Yu had given them pure Myriad Spirit Water to drink.

Although the children looked a little thin and weak, they were actually very healthy. The Myriad Spirit Water had also strengthened their physiques a lot.

But that was all.

If one drank too much, it would only strengthen their bodies. When one’s body was at its peak state and one was not injured, the Myriad Spirit Water would only be a relatively delicious beverage.

These brats did not need the Myriad Spirit Water at all.

On the other side, Old Madam Wang had just finished packing with her daughters-in-law. She looked at the sky outside and felt that it probably wouldn’t rain for a while, so she simply walked out.

“Mother, where are you going?”

Wang Chuanfu had just returned from outside. He carried a basket on his shoulder and it was filled with many bamboo shoots.

Old Madam Wang said, “I’ll go to the fields to see if the seedlings have grown. If it rains, we have to build a shed.”

“Then I’ll go with you.” Wang Chuanfu put down the things he was carrying on his shoulder and was about to leave with Old Madam Wang.

“Why are you following me? Aren’t you busy enough at home? Hurry up and peel the bamboo shoots. Don’t do it in the courtyard. There’s so much bamboo hair. If you get it on Ah Yu, watch how I deal with you!” Old Madam Wang stopped Wang Chuanfu.

Bamboo shoots were delicious, but the fur on the shells was also annoying. It was troublesome if it became stuck to the skin.

Out of her distrust of the few people at home, Old Madam Wang simply waved at Little Ah Yu. “Ah Yu, go to the fields with Grandma.”

She had to go and check on the planted seedlings. She had been thinking about it for two days and did not know what the situation was like.

Little Ah Yu immediately jumped over and grabbed Old Madam Wang’s hand.

Because it was about to rain, everyone rushed home, so there was no one in the fields.

Afraid that the sun would be too hot, Wang Chuanman and the others even covered the seedlings with a thin layer of straw. The others naturally did not see the growth inside.

Old Madam Wang walked over and lifted the straw. When she saw the half-foot-tall wheat seedlings, she was still in a daze.

How many days had it been?

How did they grow so tall!

Little Ah Yu did not understand but looked at the green seedlings and found them interesting.

As Little Ah Yu’s sidekick, the lamb naturally came too. It discovered the seedlings in the ground and immediately wanted to eat them.

Old Madam Wang picked up the lamb by its neck and carried it to the side. “This is not something you can eat. Go over there and eat grass!”

The lamb turned around three times with every step, so angry that it pooped on the ground.

It felt that the seedlings must be delicious.

Unfortunately, like everyone in the Wang Family, it was also afraid of Old Madam Wang.

When Old Madam Wang saw these green seedlings, she immediately covered them with straw again and hugged Little Ah Yu, bringing her home in a hurry.

When she passed by the back of the house, she glanced at the banana bushes and realized that the banana tree that only had one flower a few days ago had already sprouted several bunches of bananas.

At this rate, they might be able to pluck them again tomorrow.

“Ah Yu, you can’t let anyone know about your water. Promise Grandma not to tell anyone!” Old Madam Wang’s heart was pounding. Even though she had seen many things, she couldn’t completely calm down now.

The water on Ah Yu’s body was quite useful. If someone with ulterior motives found out, she would be in danger!

Little Ah Yu nodded. “I won’t tell anyone.”

Old Madam Wang reminded her repeatedly before carrying her back to the courtyard in front.

“Mother, how are the seedlings in the fields? Have they sprouted?” Wang Chuanfu, who was packing up the bamboo shoots, asked.

At this moment, Little Ah Yu had already returned to the room where Liu Shi was. She pulled Liu Shi’s sleeve and poured half a ladle of water into the empty wooden ladle in front of her. “Mother, drink some water.”

Grandma said that she could not tell other people, but Mother was not other people.

Liu Shi: “!!!”
