Early days, various childhood joys. Bird hunting, fishing, catching toads. Mid-phase, uplifting the small mountain village. Later phase, rolling in wealth, mastering technology, eliminating enemies...
When they returned home with the old village chief, Qian Manman had already prepared lunch and was waiting for the three of them to come back and eat. Wei's mother came forward and grabbed Wei Mo's little ear to scold him, while Wei Xiaomin stopped her from the side.
When Grandpa Yu saw Wang Zhenhua make a move, he quickly pulled Wei Mo into his arms.
"Why are you hitting the child! Isn't it right to stand up for your sister? My eldest grandson did a great job!"
Wei's mother was a little embarrassed. This was the first time her godfather had spoken to her so loudly. Originally, Wang Zhenhua had not intended to really hit her; he just wanted to scare Wei Mo.
"Godfather, don't be angry. I didn't mean to really hit him. I just wanted to scare him. I was wrong, Godfather."
Seeing that Wang Zhenhua's attitude in admitting his mistake was not bad, the old man stopped protecting him.
The matter was put behind them, and the family sat around the table, enjoying a lively lunch. Wei Xiaomin, with her little mouth agape, recounted how her younger brother had avenged her.
After the meal, Wei Mo had a headache because he had been eating meat all the time and hadn't eaten many vegetables.
There are still very few green vegetables available now. Although they have a yard, the Wei family doesn't grow any. They can only eat what Grandpa and Grandma Yu grow, and even then, the elderly couple doesn't grow many green vegetables.
Nowadays, most of the vegetables grown here are Chinese cabbage, while other places mostly grow pumpkins and potatoes. Many other vegetables have not been widely adopted here.
Especially in rural areas, many households can't even gather enough seeds for some vegetables.
Most of what they planted were things like pumpkins and potatoes, which were grown in the yard to serve as food. As for vegetables, they hardly ever grew them; everyone relied on those things to fill their stomachs.
I never even considered growing fruits and vegetables.
Looking at the still empty yard, Wei Mo decided to plant more vegetables, since vegetables are the most nutritious to eat.
Wei Mo and his sisters are growing, and eating more meat is indeed good, but they can't eat meat only at every meal, so Wei Mo decided to plant more meat in the garden.
Vegetables and fruits are a good treat for us now. Although it's a bit late, there shouldn't be any problem with leafy greens.
Wei Mo opened the trading space and began searching for vegetable seeds in the trading mall, then bought some of each kind.
She secretly pulled Wei's mother into her room, then took out various kinds of seeds from her spatial storage and handed them to Wei's mother.
Wei Mo removed the packaging from all the seeds, since it wouldn't be good if others saw the outer packaging. Wei Mo looked at the seeds his son handed him with some doubt.
These seeds look too much like grass seeds. Wei's mother looked at Wei Mo with a puzzled expression, then asked,
"Son, what kind of seeds did you give me? What will they grow into?"
Nowadays, most gardens grow potatoes and squash, which are quite filling, so even common vegetables are just casually planted.
Many of the seeds Wang Zhenhua had never seen before, Wei Mo had produced a complete set. He showed each seed to Wei's mother, explaining what kind they were, and then said to her...
"Mom, let's plant some vegetables. I want to eat vegetables. I'm so tired of eating meat every day."
Hearing Wei Mo's words, Wei's mother was so angry that she laughed. She slapped Wei Mo's little bottom a few times, thinking to herself that her son was too arrogant now!
How dare they say they're tired of eating meat! They have to be beaten up.
Thinking back to our past life, we couldn't even afford wild vegetable dumplings! But all the changes in our family are because of our son. Now that he wants to eat green vegetables, we'll grow more.
After hitting Wei Mo, Wei's mother nodded to her son and said,
"Alright then, this afternoon I'll go with your aunts and plant these vegetables."
After a short rest at noon, everyone prepared to continue weaving fish baskets, but then Wei Ma spoke up.
"Let's take a break that afternoon and plant these vegetable seeds first,"
“I have some seeds that Wei Mo’s dad sent over. Our yard is still empty, so we should plant some vegetables first.”
Wei Ma's words were met with agreement from everyone, who nodded in unison.
"Yes, yes, what kind of family are we if we keep eating like this? We should get more vegetables."
Even Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are the same.
Little did they know that Wei Mo was simply tired of eating meat.
And so, Qian Manman, along with Wang Ling and Yu Juan, started to prepare the garden in front. Then, Wei Ma carried the soil to form ridges, and Grandma Yu helped plant the seeds. Then, Grandpa followed behind, leveling the soil with his feet and treading it over.
Meanwhile, Wei Mo and his two older sisters were feeding several chicks that Wei Mo had bought back with dragonflies, watching them eat happily.
Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui were overjoyed and decided to catch some more dragonflies later to fatten up the chicks and help them grow up quickly so they could have eggs to eat.
Li Xiuxiu busied herself fetching water, and after bringing it over, she watered the places where she had just planted the seeds. The family worked for several hours to plant all the seeds that Wei Mo had brought out.
After resting for a long time, they started weaving fish baskets. When Wei Wei and her aunts saw their mother and aunts weaving fish baskets, Wei Wei and Xiao Hui ran over to help.
Wei Mo and Wei Xiaomin, the two siblings, exchanged a glance and then ran off to find their friends in the village to play with.
The time that had been agreed upon long ago was forgotten by the two children.
The children are now gathered outside the village, catching butterflies and toads, playing together in a lively atmosphere.
Since the conference, Zhao Haixia has become much more gloomy.
The swelling on her face hadn't subsided, and a lock of her hair had been cut off. She now harbored immense resentment towards those who had hit her.
He memorized those people's names one by one, determined to take revenge someday.
Even the old village chief who stood by and spoke up for her was on her list of haters.
Nowadays, Zhao Haixia lives entirely in the female educated youth dormitory, since she no longer has a house of her own.
The brigade leader was too embarrassed to expel Zhao Haixia, since the educated youth dormitory was currently empty, and he couldn't just leave it empty without allowing anyone to live there.
However, Zhao Haixia started causing trouble again, and ever since the conference, she has been flirting with people everywhere.
Because now she not only lost her house, but also lost a lot of her food in the fire.
She only has the one piece of clothing she's wearing now left, and even the blanket she's using is Zhao Qingshan's.
She gathered all of Zhao Qingshan's belongings together and packed them into a dormitory room for female educated youth, where she now lives permanently.
However, Zhao Qingshan had given all his grain to her, and Zhao Qingshan didn't have much grain, so now Zhao Haixia had no grain left.
But she didn't want to go to work, so she started thinking of other ways.
Zhao Haixia also started to give up entirely; as long as it was a man, no matter who he was, as long as he was given food, she would sleep with him.
This incident happened not long after the conference, and everyone was full of contempt for him; no one was seduced by him.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Haixia had to go around asking the villagers for grain, but no one gave him a kind look and drove him away.
Even worse, some people chased after her with brooms and beat her. After Zhao Haixia returned to the female educated youth dormitory, her face became even more gloomy, as if she was thinking of some idea, after all, she didn't have enough food to last for several days.
Rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative.
