Lin Dongzi waved his hand and said, "No, Auntie, my mother made breakfast and is waiting for us at home."
“Yes, Second Grandma, we’re not going. Grandma has already prepared the meal and pancakes,” said Da Xiaocao.
In the past, the village was poor and couldn't afford to eat two meals a day. Now that everyone's lives have improved, they prepare some simple breakfast to fill their stomachs.
Song Anxin knew that her sister-in-law's family was now well-off and would definitely prepare a good breakfast, so she let them have their way.
After Song Anxin left, Anfu, Anshou, and the others who practiced martial arts together also dispersed, preparing to have breakfast and then go about their own business. Only Lin Erxi was still practicing diligently.
Lin Dongzi called out, "Second Sister, why are you still practicing? Aren't we going back for breakfast? My daughter and I are starving."
Lin Erxi said without turning her head, "Dongzi, take Da Xiaocao back for dinner first. In order to become a wandering female knight-errant in Ningdu County as soon as possible, I need to practice even harder!"
Meanwhile, the grass, big and small, was looking longingly at the tall green mountain with its big, blinking eyes.
Big Grass said, "Uncle Qingshan, please take us home. Uncle Qingshan is the best."
Little Grass also said in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle Qingshan, take us flying! Uncle Qingshan is the best!"
Aoyama's tense face twitched slightly, and he resignedly squatted down, picking one up in each arm.
"Young ladies, hold on tight."
"Hmm...flying, we're going to fly..." Big and small grasses exclaimed excitedly.
In the blink of an eye, the group had vanished.
Lin Dongzi turned around and immediately wailed, "Ah! Big and small grass, why have you abandoned me too?"
Da Xi, who was hanging clothes to dry in the yard, was startled by the sudden appearance of several people descending from the sky. She saw that it was Qingshan carrying Da Xiaocao. As soon as Da Xiaocao got out of Qingshan's arms, she rushed straight into her mother's arms.
"Mom, it was Uncle Qingshan who brought us back! We're flying in the sky!"
"Mommy, Feifei, Sister and Little Grass have flown away!"
Lin Daxi pinched their noses and said, "You two, didn't your mother say we shouldn't trouble Uncle Qingshan to carry you around? You're being naughty."
The two girls, Da Cao and Xiao Cao, ran into the house, looking embarrassed. "Okay, Mom, I'm taking my sister to eat now."
Lin Daxi smiled and shook his head helplessly, then turned to Qingshan and said, "Brother Qingshan, thank you for bringing them back."
"It's alright, I'll be going now." Qingshan was about to turn around and fly away when Lin Daxi suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Brother Qingshan, it looks like there's a tear in your clothes at the shoulder."
Aoyama turned his head and noticed a tear where the shoulder and sleeve met. He said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, I'll turn around..."
Before he could finish speaking, a woman's hand appeared on his shoulder.
Lin Daxi quickly sewed up the wound on his shoulder with a needle and thread.
"Alright, the cut isn't big. You probably got scratched by a tree branch while flying around all day. You don't need to bother Tao Xiuniang with this little thing. I happen to carry needles and thread with me at all times."
Qingshan was stunned. What he really wanted to say was that he would sew it himself later. They had been sold off since they were young, and they had to do sewing and washing themselves.
The tear on his shoulder was sewn very tightly and neatly, completely different from the crooked stitches he had made before. It even seemed to have a faint, warm fragrance. He was stunned.
Lin Erxi put the needle and thread into her bosom, and seeing the big man standing there staring blankly at his shoulder, she asked curiously:
"Brother Qingshan, it's all stitched up now. Is there any tear that hasn't been sewn up yet?"
Aoyama suddenly snapped out of his daze, and his ears turned bright red.
"No, no, thank you, Miss Da Xi. I, I'm leaving now."
Qingshan suddenly flew to a big tree by the yard. When he stopped, he almost fell because he lost his footing. He quickly steadied himself.
Lin Daxi shouted, "Brother Qingshan, be careful!"
Qingshan immediately flew away in a panic and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Daxi was puzzled. Didn't Erxi say that martial artists have the most stable bodies? How come they almost fell just now? It seems that he should remind Da Xiaocao not to always think about flying around.
After finishing breakfast, Song Anxin, along with her maids and servants, took out the potatoes and started cutting them into pieces. Now it was time to begin planting the potatoes.
This isn't something you can just cut randomly. You need to make sure each seed potato has one or two healthy buds. After all the potatoes are cut, you need to treat the seed potatoes with quicklime and wood ash, and then let them air dry for two days before planting.
"Meizi, if you're not feeling well, you don't need to get involved. We have enough manpower here."
Song Anxin was a little worried when she saw Song Mei getting involved.
Granny Sun chimed in, "Yes, young mistress, we can handle things here."
The maidservant Ping An joked, "If the young master finds out about the young mistress, he'll get angry with you again, and he might even shed tears."
Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter. Song Mei pretended to be annoyed with her:
"Ping An, you're such a chatterbox. You just shouldn't have told him. Mom, just let me lend a hand here. I'm so bored staying in the house all day."
Song Anxin smiled helplessly. For some reason, Mei Zi's pregnancy symptoms were getting worse. She would vomit frequently and feel dizzy in the morning. Last time she went to Anbang's wedding banquet, she went to see Dr. Zheng to have her pulse checked. Dr. Zheng said that there was nothing wrong and that she would get better after a while. He told her to relax, rest, and not to overwork herself.
The duck egg shop was temporarily handed over to Sister-in-law Lin for the time being, and Song Mei stayed at home to recuperate. However, there were not many entertainment activities in this era, and staying at home for a long time was naturally boring. Remembering what the doctor had said, she said:
"Alright then, you can just stand over there and hand us things and lend a hand. Remember to go back and rest immediately if you feel unwell, or I'll tell Fengnian."
Song Mei immediately said, "Okay, okay, Mother, I promise I'll go back right away if I feel unwell. I won't tire myself out."
Since becoming pregnant, she had become somewhat afraid of Feng Nian. Although she was happy that Feng Nian doted on her so much, he was just too cautious with her. She went to the duck egg shop out of concern, and when Feng Nian found out, he would nag her for half an hour. She vomited and felt weak, and Feng Nian would hold her and cry. Sometimes at night, Feng Nian would look at her and start crying again, seemingly thinking of something.
She never knew that a man could shed so many tears. She used to hear other women say that they would often feel sad and cry when they were pregnant, and their men would not understand and would say that they were being dramatic. But now it was the other way around. She had to comfort Feng Nian from time to time.
After working for a while, Song Mei felt dizzy and nauseous, so she immediately went back to rest. She didn't want Feng Nian to cry to her that night.
After Song Anxin led everyone to cut all the potato seeds, she went to the chili pepper field. The chili pepper seedlings had already grown well. In the afternoon, Fengnian, along with Anfu, Anshou, Qingshan, and others, went to the field to transplant them.
