"You two can't both go. An older child needs to stay home."
Su Ningan pulled Su Ningjie away and whispered, "Second brother, you have to stay and look after the house..."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the two men's backs and pursed his lips slightly. These two children are very ambitious. One is born with supernatural powers, and the other is talented in mental arithmetic. If these two children are taught well, they may achieve something great in the future.
Su Ningjie walked back from a distance and said, "Mom, I'll stay and take care of my younger brothers and sisters and dad, but you must take me to the county next time."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Okay, then you can come with me to find the village chief later. Let Zhang Sanzhu come to help you tomorrow, and you can arrange for him to do something."
Su Ningjie's eyes flashed, "Does he have to carry water, chop wood, and catch fish?"
"Of course, I'm not kidding. You're responsible for supervising him. If he doesn't obey, you'll hand him over to the authorities."
After tidying up the vegetable patch, Xiao Lingyu took Su Ningjie to the village chief's house.
"Mom, you didn't see it. The Su family's wife looked so weak, but the words she said were like those of an official. She scared me and the villagers so much that we didn't dare to breathe."
Du Yingying and the village chief's daughter-in-law, Sun, were gossiping in the yard about Xiao Lingyu's great achievements in punishing Zhang Sanzhu.
Sun said, "She's a daughter of an official family, so she's naturally different from the county girls. Your grandfather said that two adults personally escorted her here, so her status is naturally not simple. She's been given the best food and clothing before, so how could she not know the price?"
Du Yingying said, "Mother, Zhang Sanzhu deserves it. It was him who tried to deceive the Su family's wife."
Sun came over and whispered, "When you have nothing to do, go to the Su family more often and lend a hand if you can. Make friends with Madam Su. Your husband is still a scholar now."
Du Yingying knew exactly what her mother-in-law meant. "Mother, Zhang Sanzhu only became a laborer for the Su family because he relied on the fact that he had carried Su Xingyi before and the Su family sold him wild boar meat at a low price out of kindness. Do you want me to emulate him?"
Sun poked Du Yingying's head and said, "Zhang Sanzhu, please raise your hand. Your grandfather has really helped the Su family."
Grandpa is the head of the village, so naturally he has to help the poor and the weak.
Du Yingying didn't want to conflict with her mother-in-law, so she said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, mother. I like Madam Su very much, and she has to like me too."
"Aunt Du, my mother and I are here to see the village chief."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw the mother and son from the Su family coming, they quickly welcomed them into the yard.
Sun greeted them with a smile, "Madam Su, please take a seat first. Yingying will quickly entertain Madam Su. I will go call my father-in-law over."
Du Yingying smiled and said, "Madam Su, please take a seat."
Seeing that Du Yingying looked about the same age as her, Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Okay, Sister-in-law Du."
As soon as Xiao Lingyu sat down, Wu Qingshan hurried over, "Mrs. Su."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Tomorrow I will take the eldest son to the county, and there will be only four of us left at home. Please ask the village chief to send someone to inform Zhang Sanzhu to go to the Su family courtyard early tomorrow morning and listen to the second son's instructions."
"Madam Su, don't worry, Zhang Sanzhu can't get away. Song Dazhu and Yu Tieshan will also rush there early tomorrow."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Village Chief. It's getting late, so we'll go back."
Seeing the mother and son walking away, Mrs. Sun said, "Dad, it's rare for Madam Su to come to our house. Why don't you keep her here for a while so that we can get to know each other better and take care of each other in the future."
Wu Qingshan frowned and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law of the Su family is very powerful. Put away your little thoughts. The daughter-in-law of the Su family is not someone we can just casually cling to."
After returning to the Su family, the four of them washed up and lay down. Xiao Lingyu went to the kitchen to cut the two pieces of lard into pieces and put them into the pot to boil lard. The two pieces of lard made up most of the pot of lard, which required two ceramic jars to hold it all.
The remaining 100 kilograms of wild boar meat, pig's trotters, etc. were moved into the refrigerator of the base villa in batches for refrigeration.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the wild boar meat in the refrigerator and couldn't help but frown. Moving it in and out was not a solution, the children would always find out.
It seems that we need to build an ice cellar like the one in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion in the Su family's yard.
Xiao Lingyu touched the silver bills in the inner compartment. This money couldn't be wasted on building an ice cellar.
As a second best option, I'll go to the county tomorrow to buy some saltpeter to make a bucket of ice to store the fresh food.
Xiao Lingyu went to the research institute and began to analyze the unknown minerals in the culture dish. He found that its elemental structure was very complex and he could not determine what kind of substance it was?
Thinking that there was no trace of harmful microorganisms in the mixed water before, Xiao Lingyu took the cup of well water, extracted the harmful microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria, and put them into an unknown mineral culture dish.
A moment later, Xiao Lingyu was surprised to find that harmful microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria were quickly devoured by unknown minerals.
Xiao Lingyu took a glass of spring water and tasted it carefully. The spring water tasted sweeter than the ones he had tasted before, probably because of the unknown minerals.
This unknown mineral was called "Spirit Element" and named after her.
Mountain spring water is called spiritual spring water.
Xiao Lingyu returned to the villa, took a rose milk bath, and then quickly returned to the Su family yard.
I looked up at the night sky, but there was no moon, only stars everywhere.
Xiao Lingyu tiptoed to the bedroom door, and when he didn't see any red light coming out from inside, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Su Xingyi heard light footsteps and slowly closed his eyes.
A faint scent of roses hit Su Xingyi's nostrils, and the next second, Su Xingyi felt a soft and boneless hand gently touching his chest.
Su Xingyi quickly raised his hand, which was placed at his side in a throat-locking position, and then quickly put it back.
Xiao Lingyu lifted up Su Xingyi's inner garment on his chest, and the lotus-shaped birthmark was still on it.
