The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

In the afternoon, the children who had been sleeping for most of the day woke up one after another. The temperature on their foreheads returned to normal. The shadow brought by the big snake seemed to have passed. As soon as the children woke up, they shouted that they were hungry and wanted to eat.

Because she was worried that the children were too young and weak to be nourished, Zhang diluted the dragon and phoenix soup with water and cooked it into porridge for them to drink.

After eating a bowl of porridge and working up a sweat, the children quickly regained their spirits and their faces gradually became rosy. After eating, they couldn’t stay in the cave any longer and begged to go out and play with their friends.

Seeing that they were really fine, Zhang smiled and agreed, only telling them not to go to the river.

He looked at the sky and saw that the sun had begun to set. After thinking for a moment, he called his two daughters-in-law to bring winnowing baskets and buckets and to follow him carrying hoes.

Wang Shi saw that she didn't carry the basket, and asked in confusion, "Mom, aren't we going to pick bamboo fungus?"

"No, it's getting late. We've already picked all the bamboos in the nearby bamboo forest. Let's go tomorrow. Today, let's go pick up some peppers from the riverside and plant them in the soil. We can also pick up some snails while we're at it."

"Hey, let me carry another bucket."

My mouth is watering when I think of the delicious snails I had last night.

Wang swallowed her saliva, happily picked up the bucket and followed. From her cheerful steps, it can be seen how much she likes to eat snails.

Seeing her lively look, Zhang smiled silently.

The stream was not far away, and it only took five or six minutes to walk there. When we arrived at the place where the accident happened in the morning, the messy grass and blood-stained stones could still vaguely show how fierce the battle between man and snake was in the morning. The remaining power of the big snake seemed to have not dissipated yet, and the dried snake blood alone made people feel uneasy.

Zhang dug some soil from the side to cover the snake blood, and then used a hoe to beat around the grass.

This is called alerting the snake.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the grass and no snake came out, so Zhang started digging up the pepper seedlings with confidence, while Liu and Wang went to dig up leeks and ginger respectively.

After digging about ten of each, Zhang looked at the few pepper seedlings on both sides of the stream and stopped Liu who wanted to continue digging.

"Don't dig anymore, just plant these for now."

"Why don't you dig it up? Shouldn't you dig it all back?"

Liu was digging with great enthusiasm. Although the pepper tasted spicy at first, she enjoyed it more and more the more she ate it. She loved it.

"Forget it, leave some for others. Let's dig these and fertilize them diligently. It will be enough for us to eat."

"Mom is the one who thinks things through. I am the one who is narrow-minded."

After hearing what Zhang said, Liu put away the hoe in shame and picked up the winnowing basket.

In the small vegetable garden next to the duck pen, the sown cabbage and radish seeds have grown to ten centimeters high. The green leaves are inlaid in the vegetable garden like jade, which makes people happy.

"This cabbage is growing really well, so green and tender, it looks delicious!"

"If you want to eat it, go pick some and fry it tonight."

"Hey, Mom, I'm going to go pick some cabbages!"

Wang happily carried the basket and went straight to the cabbage like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb. If the cabbage had not been frequently watered with pig and duck manure, she would have eaten it raw.

Liu looked at her sister-in-law's greedy look, smiled, exchanged a glance with Zhang, and then started to turn the soil seriously.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated tacitly. Before long, they had planted the peppers and leeks. When they were about to bury some ginger in the soil, they suddenly heard Xie's voice. They looked up and saw Xie and several daughters-in-law coming back from picking bamboo fungi, and they happened to pass by their vegetable garden.

"What are you planting? It's red and green, and looks pretty good."

"It's sister-in-law. It seems that today's harvest is not bad." Zhang said when she saw that their backpacks were full.

"We walked a little further today. There were fewer people going there, so we picked more. Didn't you go there this afternoon?"

Xie took off the backpack on her back, as it was too heavy to carry. Seeing Zhang and the others busy in the vegetable garden so early in the morning, she guessed that they did not go to the mountain this afternoon. Then she thought about what happened at noon.

"By the way, how are Li and the children? Have their fevers gone down?"

"It's gone. Mrs. Li's fever went down at noon. The children just woke up and finished their meal. Look, they are playing over there."

"Thank God, everything is fine. That big snake made my legs weak just by looking at it. The children are all great, and Li is also a good one."

"Yes, after what happened, I still feel uncomfortable. If I had been a little later, I dare not even think about the consequences."

"You, the children are all fine, why are you still thinking so much? As the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future, and your family's good fortune is still to come."

"What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. Our blessings are still to come. Not only our family is blessed, but your family is also blessed, and the entire Chengjia Village is blessed."

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

"Ah, look at me, I was so busy chatting that I forgot about the business.

My sister-in-law asked me what this is. It's called chili pepper, and it's used for cooking. It feels hot and warm in your mouth. If you add it to meat dishes, the meat will taste better, and it can also stimulate your appetite."

Xie's mouth, which had been dry from thirst, began to salivate as she heard Zhang's words. It sounded delicious, so she asked impatiently, "Really? What is this spicy...spicy thing? Where did you get it from? Do you have any more?"

"Yes, there are quite a few. They are right there, on both sides of the stream. There are also leeks and ginger."

"Okay, sister-in-law, let's talk about this later. I'll send the bamboo fungus back first and dig some to plant."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. By the way, see if you can run into sister-in-law and tell her too."

"I just saw her go back on the mountain. Fine, I'll go get her."

Xie has always been an impetuous person. She picked up the backpack and hurried home.

When Zhang turned around and planned to continue planting ginger, she found that it had already been planted by her two daughters-in-law.

"Mom, everything has been planted and we've picked a basket of cabbages. Shall we go catch snails now?"

Wang was holding a basket of cabbages in one hand and a bucket in the other, looking impatiently towards the river.

Zhang looked at her unsteady appearance, held her forehead helplessly, took the basket from her hand, and placed it on the hoe.

"You guys go ahead. I'll go back and see if Nannan has woken up. Your sister-in-law is injured and it's not convenient for her to be taken care of."

"Okay, then go back, mom, we're going."

After saying that, she took Liu's arm and walked quickly towards the stream. She was almost running. Liu was nearly tripped by her and could only speed up her pace helplessly to catch up with her.

When Zhang returned to the cave, she saw Zhou holding her little granddaughter and staying by Liu's bedside.

"My in-laws are here, where is Ze Li? Why are you bothering me to come and take care of He Er?"

Seeing Zhang coming back, Zhou stood up to greet her, while the little baby in her arms waved her chubby little arms vigorously, trying to break free from her arms and throw herself onto Zhang.

"My in-laws are back. Ze Li has been guarding He'er for the whole afternoon. I thought he would have to take the imperial examination in a few months, so I sent him over to study. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I came to visit him when I have time."

"Oh, I'm so sorry to trouble you!"

"It's not a bother, He'er is my daughter. As her mother, it's my duty to lend a hand when she needs me."

“Ah…..Oh…!”

Seeing that Zhang was only busy chatting and was not reaching out to hug her, Little Tuanzi put on a serious face and started to complain to Zhang angrily.

Seeing her like this, Zhang scratched her little nose in a funny way.

"You little thing, you are so young, but you have such a bad temper. Grandma just finished planting vegetables, and they are all muddy. Let your grandmother hold you first. Grandma will hold you after I wash my hands."
