A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Chapter 29: Fox Mother Gives Gifts to the Lin Family

Lin Yiran was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back. Lin's mother asked worriedly, "What's wrong, dear girl?"

Lin Yiran stared at the bamboo basket and shouted in horror: "The bamboo basket...under the osmanthus tree...is moving."

Mother Lin followed Lin Yiran's gaze and saw the bamboo basket under the tree moving constantly.

Mother Lin burst into laughter, and Lin Yiran looked up at her in surprise.

Mother Lin patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, dear girl. Have you forgotten the little fox your father brought back? It's too hot, so I moved its nest under the shade of the osmanthus tree."

Lin Yiran...

With your awkward toes, you can dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment from the floor.

Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Lin Yiran laughed awkwardly.

"Well... I really didn't think of it for the moment. I missed it a lot after not seeing it for a day."

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to the osmanthus tree, opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and let the little fox out.

When the little fox saw that it was Lin Yiran, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was this little girl. She had magic water that could help the body recover to normal quickly!

And can cook very delicious meals.

Not only has my injured body recovered, but I also feel full of energy and have endless strength.

His originally confused mind became much clearer, his ears and eyes sharper, and if he hadn't been thinking about his mother, he wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Thinking of this, the little fox's eyes rolled around a few times, and he immediately showed a flattering expression to Lin Yiran, and even howled at her a few times.

Lin Yiran felt that this world was mysterious. Was this little fox a spirit? It actually showed a flattering expression. Could it be that drinking his spiritual spring water made it intelligent?

Lin Yiran wanted to continue observing, but unexpectedly, the next moment the little fox bit the hem of her skirt. Lin Yiran did not dare to move, for fear that it would use too much force and her new dress would be ruined.

Lin Yiran tried to communicate with the little fox, "Are you hungry?"

The little fox actually nodded in a humane way.

"But we have already had dinner, and we only have cold cucumber salad. Do you want to eat it?" Lin Yiran said a little embarrassedly.

The little fox nodded vigorously a few times. Although Lin Yiran felt yesterday that the little fox seemed to understand human language, she still had doubts and thought that it was most likely a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

I didn't expect that I still underestimated the little fox's IQ.

"Then I'll get you something to eat, wait for me!" As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, the little fox loosened its teeth, stepped aside and squatted down, tilting its head and looking at her expectantly.

Lin Yiran was severely struck by lightning, and the other members of the Lin family were collectively petrified. This was too fantastic.

Lin Yiran returned to the kitchen and saw the small plate of smashed cucumbers. Fearing that it would not be enough, she walked around the kitchen and saw the ginseng slices on the table. After a slight hesitation, she picked up a few slices with chopsticks, put them on the cucumber plate and took them out.

As soon as Lin Yiran came out of the kitchen, he saw the little fox looking over here eagerly. When it saw Lin Yiran come out, it howled excitedly a few times and followed Lin Yiran closely. After Lin Yiran found the little fox's bowl, he put the cucumber and ginseng slices on the plate into it.

After the little fox smelled the flavor he had been longing for, he carefully picked up a piece of ginseng and chewed it slowly. When the Lin family saw this, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They actually saw calmness and elegance in a fox.

But on second thought, its interaction with Ran'er just now was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this little fox.

Seeing that the little guy had almost finished eating, Lin Yiran poured another bowl of well water mixed with spiritual spring water into its bowl.

The fox's sensitive nose immediately smelled the scent of the spiritual spring water, and it happily circled around Lin Yiran, wagging its tail like a propeller and making a continuous "weeping" sound.

Looking at its performance, Lin Yiran knew that this guy must have discovered the wonders of the spiritual spring water, which was why he was so excited.

The little fox drank water and looked at Lin Yiran from the corner of his eyes. Lin Yiran was amused by its behavior and couldn't help but touch its little head. The little fox cooperated and nudged its head into Lin Yiran's palm, and even licked it with its little tongue.

The itchy feeling in the palm of her hand made Lin Yiran unable to hold back and she burst into laughter. Her silver bell-like laughter spread to every corner of the courtyard.

The other members of the Lin family were also infected by Lin Yiran's laughter and couldn't help but smile dotingly.

Lin Yiran looked at the sky which was getting completely dark, and saw her own thatched cottage which looked even more desolate and small against the backdrop of the night.

My determination to rebuild the house became even stronger, and I immediately decided to discuss it with my parents and brothers to get the matter done as soon as possible.

Lin Yiran pursed his lips and said solemnly: "Dad and Mom, Second Brother and Third Brother, I want to discuss something with you."

"Ran'er, you said, no matter what you want to do, your second brother will be your strongest support." Second Brother Lin said with a firm look.

"Xiao Ran'er, Third Brother has the same attitude as Second Brother. Whether it's contributing labor, money, or fighting, Third Brother is not a problem." Third Brother Lin was eager to express his opinion.

As soon as Third Brother Lin finished speaking, he noticed the unfriendly looks from everyone, as if they were about to come up and beat him up. What did that mean?

Third Brother Lin thought about what he had just said. It was all over. Why didn't he keep his stinky mouth shut? He had stirred up a hornet's nest.

Third Brother Lin didn't want to be beaten, because his father's beatings hurt people. He quickly tried to make up for it: "Well, well... I didn't mean that. I don't have the courage, right? I just spoke too quickly. What I meant was that I unconditionally support all of Xiao Ran'er's decisions."

Seeing that everyone's eyes had softened, Third Brother Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed this hurdle. He raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his face due to nervousness.

Seeing Third Brother Lin's cowardly look, Lin Yiran was speechless. He still wanted to help her fight? He would be beaten up.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin are indeed a couple, they rolled their eyes in tacit understanding.

Only the second brother Lin calmly patted his brother's shoulder to comfort him.

Third Brother Lin immediately recovered to full health and felt that he was able to do it again.

"Xiao Ran'er, hurry up and tell me, don't tell me half-heartedly, which will make Third Brother feel so uneasy and uncomfortable as if he were pawed by a cat."

"Then let me tell you, Dad, Mom, we have earned some money these days, and my brothers are getting old, and it's time for them to get married. I want to tear down our thatched cottage and rebuild a large courtyard with two entrances.

Besides, our soap business will surely grow bigger and bigger, and we won’t be able to handle it with just a few people! We will have to buy a few capable servants to help us. They will also need a place to live.”

Lin Yiran's words made perfect sense, and everyone in the Lin family started to think seriously about it.

The air froze for a moment, and finally it was Lin's father who broke the silence.

"Ran'er is right, who would be willing to marry the daughter of a good family in such a shabby thatched cottage?

If we build a new house, it will be the only one in Daxi Village. By then, matchmakers will probably come to our house to break down its doorstep.

Ran'er, all the money in our family is earned by you, so the matter of building a house is up to you. Our yard looks big, but if we build a second yard, it may not be big enough."

Lin Yiran had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago, "Dad, what do you think about us buying the piece of beach behind the thatched cottage?"

Father Lin pondered for a moment and made a decision that shocked the whole family, "Since we are going to buy that beach land, why not buy the wild tea forest at the foot of the mountain as well."

Father Lin had drunk the tea that Lin Yiran had taken out from the space. The tea soup was clear, mellow, and fragrant. The tea tasted sweet and was unforgettable.

Last time, Ran'er accidentally revealed that she had a method of making tea. Now the price of tea sold in the market is very expensive. Only dignitaries and some wealthy businessmen can afford to drink it. Others can forget about it. I remember that once I went to the village chief's house and happened to meet the village chief entertaining guests. I was very honored to drink a cup of tea made with tea leaves. The taste was really hard to describe. In addition to bitterness, it was also slightly sour. I really couldn't understand why it was so unpalatable and so expensive.

After drinking the tea given by my daughter's master, I realized that it was not that the tea was bad, but that the way the tea was made was wrong. Although I have never drunk top-quality tea, I think it is not as good as the tea given by my daughter's master.

Now that Lin's father has followed his daughter, his horizons have been broadened and his ideas are gradually changing.

Lin Yiran didn't expect that his father's ideas would change so quickly. A few days ago, he thought that Third Brother Lin was not doing his job properly, but now he wants to buy a tea tree to make tea.

Lin Yiran couldn't help but look at his father. The third and second brothers were so shocked by the bomb thrown by his father that they couldn't come back to their senses. Mother Lin also looked at his father in disbelief.

Father Lin felt a little embarrassed by the gazes he received. He cleared his throat and said, "If Ran'er hadn't known how to make tea, and I hadn't met the tea seedlings by chance, I wouldn't have had the idea of ​​taking over that tea forest."

Lin Yiran...

When did I say I could make tea? Why don't I remember it?

Did I mention it accidentally? Never mind. If I can't remember it, I won't think about it anymore.

Lin Yiran naturally knew how to make tea, but she didn't expect that there was a patch of wild tea trees at the foot of a mountain not far from her home. Aren't tea trees generally grown in the south?

Lin still couldn't figure it out, but it might be that the climate, temperature and humidity on this mountain were suitable for the growth of tea trees.

Lin Yiran decided to go check out the wild tea tree tomorrow and pick some young leaves to fry and see how the finished product tastes. If it’s really good, he could buy it.

From what Father Lin said just now, almost no one in this village knows anything about tea, and he only got to know it by chance.

That way, no one would compete with him to buy tea trees. Lin Yiran knew how lucrative the tea market was, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

He immediately grabbed Father Lin's hand and said anxiously: "Dad, let's go to the tea forest tomorrow to pick some tea leaves. I'll try to fry them. If the finished product is good, we'll buy the tea forest.

However, Lin Yiran paused for a moment and continued: "We can buy it at the price of wasteland at most." Lin's father understood immediately that his daughter's idea coincided with his own. She is really a caring little cotton-padded jacket of her father!

"Dad, when you go to the village chief's house tomorrow, bring some gifts. By the way, ask the village chief to find some hardworking, down-to-earth and honest men from the village to help us build the house. This will also increase some extra income for the villagers.

I have some other ideas that can make the house warmer in winter and no longer cold, but this needs to be done by professionals. Brother San, you know a lot of people, so the task of finding professionals is left to you. "

Lin Yiran explained seriously.

Seeing that Lin's father and third brother had received the task, Lin's mother looked at Lin Yiran expectantly and asked anxiously: "My dear, what should I do?"

Lin Yiran's mother's anxious look pleased Lin Yiran, who held back his laughter and pretended to reply: "Mom is the most serious and careful in her work, so of course I will leave the most important things to you. I would not feel at ease if it were someone else."

Mother Lin was overjoyed by the compliment and asked happily: "Then I..."

Lin Yiran whispered mysteriously into her mother's ear: "Mom, I'm going to give you the most profitable job in our family. Are you happy or not?"

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She reached out and patted Lin Yiran on the shoulder, scolding her with a smile: "You little girl only knows how to make fun of your mother."

Lin Yiran said seriously: "Mom, I am serious. Soap is so expensive and the workmanship must be fine. When I am done, I will find a suitable packaging for our soap. This will not only make it more refined in appearance, but also easier to preserve. The price can also be increased. It is simply killing three birds with one stone."

As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, he noticed that several people's eyes were filled with admiration. Was he being too pretentious? Lin Yiran didn't want to become their idol!

Happy times are always short. After chatting for a while, Lin's mother saw that it was getting late, so she told everyone to go back to their rooms and rest.

In the dark night, the stars are twinkling and the courtyard is as quiet as still water. At this moment, a special guest is welcomed in the courtyard.

The moment she saw the cub, the mother fox's worry and anxiety disappeared in an instant. Her narrow eyes were full of excitement and joy, and she kept licking the fur on the little fox's face.

The little fox cooperated with its mother very well, and kept making "嘤嘤嘤" sounds, appearing very happy and joyful.

The little fox seemed to have thought of something and cried out to its mother.

"Mom, drink this half bowl of holy water quickly. I left it for you."

The little fox cried excitedly, and the mother fox looked down at the water in the small bowl with doubt.

The little fox was so anxious that he patted his mother's head with his paw, "Mom, drink quickly. I was playing around and fell into a trap. My hind legs were pierced by a wooden stick. I drank this water and it healed me."
