It was around 9:00 AM. In the Su Family Restaurant, the lobby on the first floor was already full of customers, and the private rooms on the second floor were also mostly occupied. When they heard the thunder, they all came out with their bowls to see what was happening.
Upon seeing the changed sky, they were overjoyed.
"My goodness, it's finally going to rain."
"If it hadn't rained soon, all the rice on my farm would have dried up completely. This weather has come at just the right time!"
"It's truly a blessing from heaven! Our Qingshui County is not a wealthy place to begin with, and many farmers rely on this small plot of land to make a living. With this rain, we won't have to worry about this year's harvest."
"Yes, ever since the Lady of Le'an County came to Qingshui County, not only have we had the miraculous sweet potato vines, but the drought that was about to become a disaster is also about to end. The Lady of Le'an County is truly a lucky star for our Qingshui County!"
"That's right! Yesterday, a group of us went to Zaozhuang, and the county magistrate personally gave each of us two jin of sweet potatoes. Those sweet potatoes, just steamed, were so fragrant that they almost made our tongues fall off. They were just as good as white rice!"
"I've heard about it, but I had something to do yesterday and couldn't make it to Zaozhuang. Do you still have any sweet potatoes? Could you spare a pound for me?"
"Go away, go away! Other things can be sold, but the sweet potatoes personally given by the Lady of Le'an County cannot be sold..."
As everyone was talking, the topic suddenly shifted from the weather to Su Hua. Seeing this, the Su family quickly pulled Su Hua into the small courtyard at the back, otherwise, they would all be kneeling on the ground again.
These days of drought and high temperatures have made farmers worry about their crops, and the wealthy dislike the dry heat. Seeing that the drought was finally coming to an end, Su Bai and his companions were overjoyed.
Although they've harvested the sweet potatoes in Zaozhuang, they still have twenty mu of rice left in the village, plus seven mu of land in Shanghe Village, all of which are now waiting for this rain.
Even with daily irrigation from rivers and lakes, rice plants don't grow as well as those grown in years with good weather when the weather is too dry. The grains are not plump enough, and the yield is only 70-80% of that in years with favorable weather.
With only twelve or thirteen days left until the rice harvest, this rain will make up for the two or three percent lost, and everyone is happy about it, except... Su Hua.
Ever since the thunder started, she felt a strange tightness in her chest, as if someone had stuffed cotton around her throat, making it hard to breathe.
But when I took his pulse, I couldn't find anything wrong with his body.
To avoid arousing her family's suspicion, Su Hua made an excuse to go back to her room to rest, but in reality, she went into her spatial dimension.
As soon as I entered the space, the tightness in my chest lessened considerably.
"roar!!!"
A tiger's roar came from the mountains.
Su Hua looked up and saw four snow-white little balls rushing towards her with an imposing air, the smallest of them holding a gray rabbit in its mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the snow-white balls of fur came running up to us, each with a wide grin and a wagging tail. If it weren't for the prominent "king" character on their foreheads, they would look like big white dogs from somewhere!
Taking advantage of its small size, Da Bai, along with the gray rabbit it was holding in its mouth, rushed into Su Hua's arms, making low growls as if it were begging for praise.
Su Hua held the trembling gray rabbit, both amused and exasperated. "Do you really think you're a dog? Your parents raised this little rabbit, and you go and catch it right after, and you still want praise!"
The big white bird had bright blue eyes that darted around, but it didn't make a sound. It rolled around in her arms with its paws covering its head, while its white tail drooped down visibly.
Su Hua chuckled, but didn't expose it. She simply released the terrified little gray rabbit, hugged Big White, and climbed onto the tiger's back.
Excluding the mountain area, the space covers more than a thousand acres, and it would be exhausting to walk there.
She had ridden on the backs of all three large white tigers, and after riding around, she found that the tiger girl's back was the most comfortable. Not only was she chubby, but she also walked steadily without any bumps, making her an essential for travel.
The space was managed very well by the White Tiger family. All 1,000 acres of land were planted with fruit trees, sweet potatoes, and medicinal herbs. The fruit trees were laden with fruit, the sweet potato field was starting its sixth round of cuttings, and in the medicinal herb field, the short-cycle medicinal plants had already been harvested once, and new medicinal herb seeds had been planted.
At the foot of the low hill, the goat calves, wild oxen, sika deer, yellow muntjac calves, and wild boars have all grown up, and the beautiful pheasants can already fly.
The monkey workers under Baihu's command were all full of energy. Not one of them complained about wanting to go back to Fuhu Mountain. When they saw Su Hua, they even learned to wag their tails like Baihu and the others, showing their complete enthusiasm.
While inspecting the fields, Su Hua happily ate fruit, no longer feeling the tightness in her chest that she had felt outside.
As one flower blooms, another story unfolds. Just as one person and four tigers were browsing the space, an uninvited guest arrived at the home of the old village chief of Shanghe Village.
The woman, carrying a small bamboo basket, stared intently at the young man before her. "You must be Young Master Xiao? I've often heard the princess mention you before. Seeing you today, I can confirm that you are indeed handsome and extraordinary."
Xiao Baocong raised his eyes, quietly sized her up, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "May I ask who you are, young lady?"
"My surname is Meng, and my given name is Yun'er." Meng Yun'er smiled gently and lifted a corner of the vegetable basket in her hand.
“Yun’er raises some chickens at home. Hearing that the princess is unwell, Yun’er specially stewed chicken soup for the princess to help her recover.”
Xiao Baocong smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup, and his eyes lit up with interest. "Judging from what Miss Meng said, it seems that you and the princess have a close relationship?"
“Yes,” Meng Yun’er nodded, “Back in Tangshan Prefecture, the princess accidentally fell into the river, and it was Yun’er who rescued her…”
Halfway through her sentence, the window slammed open. "Miss Yun'er is here! Just in time, my princess has woken up. Please come in quickly."
"Alright." Meng Yun'er's brows furrowed with joy. These days, she would visit Princess Mingzhu once a day, but Cai Die had never let her in.
