"My phone is out of battery. I'll charge it tonight and then add more."
Wen Shanshan was impatient, afraid that the duck at her mouth would fly away. "Then I'll ask my brother to ask him to add you. You can charge it at night and then pass through. It's the same."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi smiled, "Thank you, Shanshan."
"Why are you being so polite to me? By the way, Qingzhi, I want to send some food to my parents."
"Okay, what do you want?"
"Give me some, I'll pick them myself." Wen Shanshan felt comfortable just looking at the large green vegetable field. She initially wanted to actively help with the work so that she could feel more at ease eating. Now she really loves picking vegetables and feels very happy when picking vegetables.
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, "Sure, Yangmei and I will send the express together this afternoon, and it will arrive tomorrow morning."
Wen Shanshan put her hands on her hips and sighed comfortably, "I don't know if it's an illusion, Qingzhi, but since I've eaten the vegetables you planted, I not only like eating vegetables, but I also sleep better at night."
"It's very quiet here at night, and there are no other activities. It's normal to sleep well." Xu Qingzhi continued picking tomatoes.
Wen Shanshan thought it made sense. When she was in school, she liked to play games and watch variety shows at night. If it was a holiday, the nightlife would only start at 11pm, with crowded pedestrian streets and noisy bars.
She often drinks with seven or eight good friends until three or four in the morning. Sometimes she would just stay with her friends. Looking out through the window, she would see that there were still seven or eight houses in the opposite building with lights on, and they were still awake.
The street lights are on all night, so there is no traffic jam at night, but there are still many vehicles coming and going. Occasionally, there are some unruly motorcycle gangs who blast the streets late at night, waking people up from their sleep.
But it’s different when you stay in the village. Basically, it gets completely dark at around 7 or 8 o’clock. When there are no stars or moon in the sky, you can only see a thick black outside. There is no light at all. It is extremely quiet and you can sleep well until dawn.
These days, she eats well, sleeps well, and doesn't gain weight.
Wen Shanshan found that her anxiety about her brother's affairs seemed to have naturally lessened.
She sighed, "It would be great if my dad could come. The real economy has been tough in recent years, and he often suffers from insomnia because of company matters. If he stayed here for a few days, I think his insomnia would be cured. Unfortunately, my brother is in trouble now, and all the company matters are on my dad alone. There's no way he can come."
"If you have trouble falling asleep, you can go see a doctor. It's okay to have insomnia occasionally, but long-term insomnia is harmful to your health." Xu Qingzhi's bamboo basket was already 90% full of tomatoes. She couldn't pick any more, so she put the basket on her back and said, "Shanshan, let's go back."
"Yeah." Wen Shanshan went to carry the bamboo basket that she used to pick tomatoes and followed Xu Qingzhi's footsteps. The two of them walked towards the sunlight hanging on the top of the mountain opposite.
Xu Qingzhi went home, went upstairs, and when he came down, he had two small transparent glass jars in his hands.
"I suffered from severe insomnia a few months ago, so I made some lavender essential oil in the state capital. It's quite effective in helping you sleep. You can try it. If you find it useful, you can send the other bottle to your dad to try."
Wen Shanshan took the two bottles of lavender essential oil and smelled it. It had a very pleasant scent.
"Qingzhi, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Wen Shanshan subconsciously took out her cell phone.
"No need, I just did it for fun." Xu Qingzhi stopped Wen Shanshan from transferring the money.
She didn't like owing anyone anything, so the other party took the initiative to help her solve the lawyer problem. It just so happened that the two little ones were picking lavender in the space and refining it into essential oil, so she took it as a repayment of favor.
In the first two hundred years of the immortal cultivation world, Xu Qingzhi often suffered from insomnia because he had to go out for trials or competitions.
After all, if you don’t curl up, you will never come back. The consequence of being too curled up is that you will become very anxious.
So, she learned a method of helping sleep from some unconventional books, which was to use lavender essential oil extracted using a specially extracted method.
As for the sleep-aiding effect...
Xu Qingzhi still remembered that once the alchemy exam was at the hour of Mao, she forgot to ask the two little ones to wake her up early. After using this essential oil, she slept until dawn and missed the exam. She was the only one who got zero points, and was criticized by the elders bitterly.
It’s better not to think about the memories of the second half.
As for why there were two bottles, it was not because she was stingy...
Because the two little ones made two bottles today and refused to continue, so they ran out to play.
When the two little guys were in the Immortal Cultivation World, they did nothing and were very lazy. These days, they have been working very hard and got tired all of a sudden. Today, they insisted on taking a two-day break.
At this time, the crow was flying back from a distance, with flocks of egrets chasing after it.
"Gah~" Master, help, help!
On the road, an old man carrying a hoe and wearing muddy trousers looked up and saw a group of egrets chasing crows. It was really strange. It was the first time he had seen such a sight.
Xu Qingzhi waved his hand, and the egret turned around and flew away.
The crow landed on the persimmon tree, opened its little mouth, and its tongue was still shaking.
"Ga~" I just want to steal some eggs to eat, why would these stinky birds care about that?
Xu Qingzhi: “…”
She used her spiritual sense to convey the message: "Did you steal the eggs? You stole the birds' babies. How inhumane."
The crow held its head high with confidence.
"Ga~" This crow is not a human being.
Wen Shanshan put away the two bottles of essential oils and noticed this scene. She looked up and smiled at the crow on the tree, "Zhaocai, are you teasing other birds again? You are so naughty."
The crow opened its little mouth and was about to respond, but suddenly remembered what its master said: it must not let others know that it could understand human language, otherwise it would be made into roasted crow.
It closed its mouth, turned its little head, and flew away.
"Zhaocai is so cute." Wen Shanshan liked it even more.
Xu Qingzhi smiled but said nothing. If Shanshan knew that it was stealing other birds' babies to eat, would she still think it was cute? Wen Shanshan had no idea about this. She followed the crow's back with her eyes until it flew over the roof and could no longer be seen. Only then did she reluctantly look away.
In the distance, a group of people approached.
Wang Yanmei came back and brought her aunts who were picking bayberries with her.
Xu Fuqiang came out of the house and asked the aunts to go inside to rest for a while and drink sour plum soup. Wang Yanmei called a few more people today, and he repeated the things to pay attention to when picking bayberries.
Wang Yanmei came out of the house, walked to Xu Qingzhi with a nervous look on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Qingzhi, how are things in the group being handled? What's the current situation with our things?"
