"Eldest son, Third son," Jiang Nuan called out as she saw her two sons from afar, "Call your uncles over here, let them rest and have some mung bean soup to quench their thirst."

"Mother, Auntie," Old Master Huang ran over and took the food box, "Why are you two the ones delivering this?"

"We're the only two who's really free," Jiang Nuan said, looking into the distance with a puzzled expression. "Boss, is our land so easy to cultivate?"

Jiang Nuan estimated that before half the morning had even passed, more than an acre of land had already been plowed.

In later generations, plowing an acre of land takes less than half an hour, but they used a vehicle.

How could it be so fast relying on human and animal power?

The speed today is just like taking a high-speed train!

“Little Six is ​​strong,” Huang Laoda explained, “so plowing these fields won’t take him much effort.”

He thought his land would take five days to prepare, but now it seems it will only take two days at most.

It's amazing that it was completed before Qingming Festival; it hasn't been this fast in many years.

No wonder so many people work their whole lives just to save up enough to buy a cow; the difference is truly enormous.

Huang Laoda, who was thinking this way, didn't remember that Erhua, who worked hard without complaint, didn't have such a fast speed.

There are very few people as abnormal as Xiao Liu in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Not bad, not bad," Jiang Nuan nodded in satisfaction. "Even if he's a bit twisted at heart, he's still a good worker."

As for Xiao Liu's hatred towards something, Jiang Nuan had no way to resolve it.

After all, she wasn't a man, and she didn't know how to resolve the twisted feeling of losing something so precious.

However, such brutal behavior must be properly restrained in any case.

“This ox was a worthwhile purchase,” Sister-in-law Huang said thoughtfully, looking at the plowed land. “This ox is definitely worth three strong laborers in the family.”

In fact, Sister-in-law Huang felt that what she said was quite conservative.

This speed is faster than three strong laborers.

Although this cow is a bit expensive, it's well-bred and worth the price.

As the three were talking, Huang Lao Er abandoned Xiao Liu and ran over, "Mother, what did you bring?"

“Mung bean soup,” Jiang Nuan said with a smile, “I’ve let it cool down at home for a while, so it’s lukewarm and just right to drink.”

Moo!

I want to drink too!

Huang Xiaoliu glared at Huang Lao Er and ran over, pulling the plow.

Seeing this, Huang Lao Er frowned and immediately shouted angrily, "Huang Xiao Liu, you stop right there!"

This guy came running over with a plow, he really deserves a beating!

What's the rush? Nobody's stopping her from drinking.

“It can come if it wants to,” Huang Xiaosan said, pursing his lips. “With Mom here, nothing will go wrong.”

“You really have a lot of faith in me,” Jiang Nuan’s lips twitched, then she said, “Fine, take the mung bean soup to your grandpa and uncle’s place, I’ll take care of Xiao Liu.”

When Huang Xiaoliu saw Huang Lao Er take away the mung bean soup, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

“Behave yourself,” Jiang Nuan said, rubbing her forehead. “You’re not thirsty, why are you joining in the fun?”

This cow always drinks a lot of water before going to bed, so she doesn't need to drink any water all day. Does she think she doesn't know?

Moo!

Huang Xiaoliu looked at Jiang Nuan with a wronged and accusatory expression, as if he had been subjected to inhuman abuse.

“Wait,” Jiang Nuan nodded resignedly, “I’ll go back and get it for you.”

She didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Liu's little fuss, but since she was counting on him to do the work, she couldn't be too unreasonable.

After returning home, Jiang Nuan packed some grass and water, gave each dog a little, and sent them to the fields.

“Mother,” Xie’s eyes were full of doubt, “Will this work?”

“Why not?” Jiang Nuan said with a smile. “Dogs have a keen sense of smell, they will definitely be able to find Xiao Liu.”

"What if we encounter someone?" Xie was still very worried. "Will they bite?"

“No,” Jiang Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, “Don’t worry, they are very well-behaved.”

Not only because of Xiao Liu's training, but also because of the various kinds of food provided in the space.

Whether it's Xiao Liu or the other animals in the house, they all become more and more spiritual as they grow older. After several experiments, she found the reason: the effect of the water in the space.

She noticed something unusual when she was teaching the technique before; the second time she was exhausted, she recovered much faster than before.

I initially thought it was because my skills had improved, but later I realized it was due to the well water.

The well water used to be colorless and transparent, but now it has a faint golden glow.

It was so faint and light that she might never have noticed it if the space hadn't been devoid of a reflective sun.

The cause remains unknown.

Later, she discovered that the water, which shimmered with golden light, not only promoted plant growth but also greatly benefited people and animals.

The most obvious change is among the children in the family. Da Ya, who used to stutter when she spoke, learned to walk on her own in just a few days.

Meanwhile, Da Niu and Er Niu's ability to absorb all kinds of knowledge is getting stronger and stronger. There are some things that she just mentions casually, and the two children can remember them word for word.

After realizing this, she dared not use the space water as casually as before, and even reduced Xiao Liu's late-night snacks by half.

It's not that I'm afraid my family members will become smarter, but rather that too much of a good thing can be bad. The future is long, and gradual, subtle changes are the best approach.

“Mother,” Xie nudged Jiang Nuan’s arm, “What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts. I called you several times, but you didn’t respond.”

"It's nothing," Jiang Nuan said with a smile. "I was just wondering when your third sister-in-law will be back."

"It will probably take some more time," Xie sighed. "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; it's not that easy to get better."

“That’s true,” Jiang Nuan changed the subject, “Where is Han Qi? Where did he go again?”

This guy, he said he came to Huangjiakou to have fun, and he really did. He was so wild every day that you couldn't see anyone.

“Uncle Han,” Xie was also unsure, “he must have gone into the mountains again.”

These past few days, all the wild animals the Huang family has been eating have been hunted by Han Qi and his men.

Of course, he only talked the talk; the main force consisted of ten servants he took with him wherever he went.

Hearing Jiang Nuan mention that bear paws are a rare delicacy while eating, he embarked on a bear hunting journey, but unfortunately, he has yet to find one.

“Let him do whatever he wants,” Jiang Nuan said, spreading her hands. “I asked around with Uncle Youquan. There are no black bears or tigers around here. The most dangerous animals are wild boars and wolves. The wolf packs are separated by several mountains. As long as he doesn’t do anything reckless, they won’t be in danger.”

Jiang Nuan regretted her words about bear paws. Now look what's happened! Han Qi runs to the back mountain every day. If Han Yi finds out, he'll definitely complain.

What's so great about the mountains? Snakes, insects, rats, centipedes, scorpions—you could be in mortal danger if you're not careful. Is it really worth it just for a bear paw?

Thinking about how she had given Han Qi many medicine packets she got from Doctor Gu, Jiang Nuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There are ten people, and they brought insect repellent powder. There shouldn't be any danger, right?

"There was no danger to begin with. People from Huangjiakou often go up the mountain to set traps, gather firewood, and dig for vegetables, and we've never seen anyone get into trouble."
