The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 17 It’s a full moon
When Cheng Xingwan woke up from a good sleep, it was already the evening of the dog day. However, the cave was brightly lit and filled with laughter.
The family shared 200 kilograms of fish and three turtles caught in the afternoon.
The family members were busy killing the fish, cleaning it, chopping it into pieces and marinating it with clear division of labor.
Even the children are happily doing what they can.
Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, without any trace of past sorrow.
People’s definition of happiness is actually very simple: family safety and being able to fill their stomachs are enough.
Late at night, Old Man Cheng and Mrs. Zhang were lying in bed after a busy day. They had experienced great sorrow and joy that day, and neither of them could sleep.
"Old lady, I feel like I'm dreaming today. Why is it so unreal?"
Zhang twisted his arm hard.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, you old woman, do you want to murder your husband?"
"Now you know whether you are dreaming or not, right?"
"I'm not dreaming, hehe..., it's not a dream, it's real!"
"Today's fish was also transformed by our little granddaughter."
Zhang turned her head and gave him a cold look.
"Do you think those old fish can really grow in that pond?"
"I guessed that it was our sweetheart who turned into a monster. Alas, she is still too young. No, I have to talk to her tomorrow. She should not use magic casually. It will be troublesome if she is discovered."
He got up from the bed, fished out a rusty key from under his pillow, unlocked the large wooden box beside the bed, and took out two peaches as big as a baby's head.
"Old lady, what should we do with these two peaches? They are ripe and won't stay for long. If we don't eat them quickly, it will be a pity if they rot."
"Let's eat it."
"OK.....!"
It's not that the two old people are selfish, it's just that this thing cannot be exposed to the public at the moment. Although their children are all kind-hearted, they are afraid that one day they might accidentally let something slip and cause trouble.
The next morning, just after daybreak, everyone came down to the valley with refreshed spirits and tools to plant rice in the fields.
I soaked the rice seeds in water yesterday at noon. When I woke up this morning, I found that the rice seeds had sprouted.
Cheng Zeli had already cram school on agricultural knowledge in his daughter's space last night, so today he asked for leave from his teacher, rolled up his trousers and went down into the mud to teach everyone how to prepare the land and grow seedlings.
He asked everyone to dredge the silt and sand from the stream and pile them into a path higher than the river, and opened an inlet and an outlet at both ends of the field ridges of each field.
After the sand and stones were dredged up, the river channel dropped and the silt water in the fields was drained into the river.
"It is better to plant seeds sparsely rather than densely. The sparser the seeds, the stronger they will be, and they will grow faster after being planted."
"When the seedlings grow to three inches tall, they can be transplanted."
.............
They were all experienced in farm work, so Cheng Zeli only needed to give a brief explanation and demonstration, and everyone would understand and get started.
By the afternoon, everyone had sown their rice seeds.
Everyone worked without stopping and was busy reclaiming the land.
Cheng Dafu, along with a few veterans of similar age, roughly estimated the arable land area in the valley, which should be several thousand acres.
It is called land reclamation, but in fact it is just marking out a piece of place of one's choice and building ridges for the fields. When the flood has just receded, only a thick layer of fertile silt remains in the valley, and weeds have not had time to grow, saving people the effort of loosening the soil and weeding.
There is plenty of water in the valley. A small river runs across the valley, dividing it into two. Every piece of land can be guaranteed to have water. Every location is a good location. It mainly depends on where you want to build a house in the future. Of course, the closer the fields are to home, the better.
Old Man Cheng chose a location in the center of the valley. He took a fancy to a large valley of seven or eight acres on the hillside. The valley is flat, has plenty of sunlight, and is high in terrain, so it is not afraid of floods. It is very suitable for a residential site, and the extra space can be used as a vegetable garden.
The days pass by as everyone is busy.
Cheng Xingwan drank milk, slept, went into the space to plant and harvest crops, and from time to time, when her family took her out for a walk, she would secretly release spiritual spring water into the pond and the rice field.
The seedlings in the field grew rapidly. In less than ten days, they were already eight or nine centimeters high, and each one had five or six branches.
"It's only been seven or eight days, and the rice seedlings have grown this tall. In previous years, it took a month or so for the rice to grow this tall after it was sown."
"Go and ask Ze Li to come over and see if the plants can be transplanted."
"It looks like our Chengjia Village will have a good harvest this year!"
........
In the early morning, the sun shines through the clouds, casting golden rays of light on the endless fields.
In this vast field, a group of pale and skinny men, their faces filled with happiness and satisfaction, are planting seedlings with hope for a good harvest, chatting and laughing, injecting new vitality into the land.
In the midst of this busyness, Cheng Xingwan’s baby turned one month old.
Although there was not much food left at home, Zhang had no intention of mistreating her granddaughter, and the proper sense of ceremony had to be maintained.
She had originally planned to invite her two brothers' families and Li's mother's family, Master Li, to have a simple meal together, and then invite the other villagers after the grain was harvested when Guaibao turned one year old.
Unexpectedly, just after breakfast, the women from the village came to the door carrying large and small bags of things.
"Third Aunt, today is our daughter's full moon, why didn't you invite us to have a full moon wine party?"
"That's right, Third Sister-in-law, our Cheng family has just got such a lovely girl, how can we not hold a full moon banquet."
"Let me make it clear first, I can't be missing from the baby's full moon banquet."
..........
"It's not that I don't want to invite you all, it's just that... it's just that..."
Zhang said with embarrassment on her face.
"Ah! Everyone should be able to understand my difficulties, right?"
"Pfft!"
Zhao Guihua saw that Zhang, who was usually calm and composed, blushed and burst out laughing.
"Why did I do that? It was because of this. There's nothing to worry about."
"Well, do you think we are coming for your rice jar?"
After saying that, he handed the bag in his hand to Zhang. Zhang opened it and saw that it contained ten kilograms of brown rice and about five or six kilograms of smoked wild boar meat and dried fish.
"No, no, take it back quickly. I feel bad that you sent those old things to me last time my baby was born.
The rice seedlings have just been planted, and everyone's jars are empty. We still need to save our lives, so how can I accept yours?"
"Aunt, just accept it. I have already brought it here, so there is no reason for me to take it back."
"No, no, if you force it on me again, don't blame me for being angry!"
Seeing that Zhao Guihua insisted on not taking the grain back, Zhang pretended to be angry with a fierce face.
"Oh, Third Sister-in-law, why are you so inflexible? Just tell me if we cook at home, it won't be a waste of food."
"A good cook cannot cook without rice. Naturally, you need food. How can you cook without food?"
Zhang didn't understand what was going on and replied.
"That's it. We have to eat food at home, and we have to eat food here. It's just a change of place to eat. It's not a big loss for us."
"That's right, that's right, take it quickly so we can start preparing lunch!"
The women in the back line swarmed in and quickly mixed together the food, meat and vegetables that everyone had brought.
"Oh, that's not right. I should have been the one to provide the food for everyone."
Zhang was confused by their words and by the time she reacted it was too late.
"Ah, ah! What shall I say to you?"
"Don't say anything, just bring our sweet girl out and let us cherish her first. We still have to cook later."
"That's right, that's right. I haven't held my baby in my arms for a long time. I miss him so much."
