Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

The three Zhang Jiajun brothers also looked eager to try.

Zeng Zhengen was afraid that those little brats would sneak away to the back mountain, so he spoke in a serious tone.

"The mountain is very dangerous. You guys are not allowed to sneak up the mountain. Otherwise, if you encounter danger, the consequences will be very serious."

The few people who had originally planned to sneak to the back mountain immediately gave up the idea when they heard Zeng Zhengen's words.

"Mom, don't worry, we definitely won't sneak to the back mountain." The three kids said in unison.

"Yes, aunt, we won't sneak to the back mountain." Zeng Sicheng also guaranteed.

After hearing the assurances from the little guys, Zeng Zhengen nodded with great satisfaction.

"Well, as long as you don't go to the back mountain without permission, I promise that I will take you to see the monkeys when I have the chance in the future."

Zeng Zhengen's approach is typical of giving someone a slap in the face and then giving them a candied date.

The little guys were very happy after hearing this.

"Well, we will definitely be obedient in the future."

After making an agreement with the kids, Zeng Zhengen continued to tell his mother and the others about the fruit forest he had discovered.

Both my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were very surprised after hearing this.

"Zeng'er, is it really as you said? What kind of fruit trees are there in that orchard?" Zeng's mother asked.

"Well, I took a quick look and found that most of the fruit trees had them. I only picked a small portion of the fruits today."

Wang Huan started to get excited again, "Zeng'er, can we follow you to the orchard to pick the fruits tomorrow?"

With so many fruits, the sister-in-law certainly cannot pick them all by herself. If they go to help, then they can pick all the fruits.

With so many fruits, they can survive for a while even if there is no food in the fields.

Zeng Zhengen could tell at a glance what Wang Huan was thinking.

"Sister-in-law, even if I take you there, you won't be able to enter that orchard."

Zeng Zhengen was telling the truth. The orchard was located under a cliff and ordinary people had no way of jumping onto the rock.

Unless you have internal strength like her, or have such strong jumping ability like a monkey.

"Why...why?" Wang Huan asked in confusion.

"Because the orchard is under a cliff, ordinary people can't get in from the cliff at all."

Wang Huan opened her mouth and wanted to ask Zeng Zhengen to take them from the cliff into the orchard, but before she could say anything, Zeng's mother handed her a cold knife, and Zeng Siyuan hurried forward to cover her lips.

Zeng's mother looked at Zeng Zhengen and said, "Zeng'er, you don't have to take your sister-in-law's words to heart. Your sister-in-law is just a shallow-minded person. Just treat her words as farts."

Zeng's mother didn't want her daughter to do anything risky just because of some wild fruits.

"Mom, I understand. I won't take it to heart."

She had already figured out what kind of person her sister-in-law was since she had been fleeing from famine.

After that, Zeng Zhengen talked with Zeng's mother for a long time, and finally Zeng Zhengen was about to take the kids back.

Zeng's mother said to Zeng Zhengen, "Zeng'er, why don't you eat here before going back? Otherwise, you will have to light a fire and cook when you go back."

In order to perform well in front of his mother-in-law, Wang Huan also pulled Zeng Zhengen to eat here before going back.

In the end, Zeng Zhengen brought a few kids to have lunch at Zeng's house.

Lunch was also relatively simple. After all, we had just settled down and hadn’t planted any vegetables yet. All we ate were wild vegetables dug from the foot of the mountain.

Zeng's mother knew that Zeng Zhengen didn't like eating whole grains, so she specially steamed some white rice for them.

This rice was given by Zeng Zhengen when they were fleeing famine. Zeng's mother was reluctant to eat it, so she has kept it until now.

After lunch, Zeng Zhengen took a few kids and followed the Zeng family to the foot of the mountain to continue reclaiming wasteland.

Zeng Zhengen filled some spiritual spring water into everyone's water bags. Before, when they were fleeing from famine, Zeng Zhengen had given a lot of spiritual spring water to Zeng's mother and others. Therefore, Zeng's father and mother were very aware of the spiritual spring water Zeng Zhengen filled.

After the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they continued to follow the villagers to open up wasteland.

In the afternoon, the kids ate the fruits Zeng Zhengen brought back, and they worked extra hard.

The villagers of Fulai Village, who were also working not far away, all looked as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Zeng Zhengen return from the mountain safely.

Village Chief Chen was shocked to see Zeng Zhengen returned safe and sound. It seemed that this young lady was really capable. He had to build good relationships with the people over there in the future!

On the other side, when Mrs. Wang saw Zeng Zhengen returning safe and sound, she also looked as if she had seen a ghost.

But she soon came to her senses, rolled her eyes and suddenly spoke loudly.

"It seems that these refugees are quite capable! They were able to make it down from Lantau Island safely!"

With Wang Dasao taking the lead, the other villagers also began to discuss it.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, Mrs. Wang suddenly changed the subject.

"We have always heard that Lantau Island is rich in resources! I wonder what good things this young lady brought back from the mountain!"

The villagers of Fuk Lai Village have always known that there are many good things on Lantau Island, but before, because they knew that the mountain was too dangerous, few people dared to go to Lantau Island.

After all, the climate in the south is pretty good, and the crops are growing pretty well. If they are diligent, they can still fill their stomachs. There is no need to risk their lives for such things.

But now, when they saw that Zeng Zhengen, a woman, could return from the mountain safely, everyone's minds became active.

"That's right! A woman like her was able to come down from the mountain safely. There's no reason why we farmers can't compare to a woman like her."

"That's right. Let's go up the mountain and take a look tomorrow."

Brother Wang, who was standing by, was also moved when he heard the villagers' discussions.

Mrs. Wang was almost angry to death. Was that what she meant? She just wanted to incite everyone to go to Zeng Zhengen's house and divide the things Zeng Zhengen brought back from the mountain.

Seeing that everyone was eager to go up the mountain, Village Chief Chen's face darkened.

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet and listen to me first." Village chief Chen said loudly to everyone.

The villagers of Fulai Village still have more faith in Village Chief Chen, so after Village Chief Chen spoke, everyone fell silent.
