Now that she's been given a second chance at life and has a cheat code, Yue Jiuyue has no reason not to make her life better. Otherwise, she would be letting down the great god who made her transmigrate, the more than ten years she spent in school, and all the fantastical novels she read.
Of course, she didn't ask for much; she just wanted to enjoy her "old age" peacefully until she passed away.
If only she were a lonely old woman.
Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but think this way; she didn't want to worry about others at all.
"Mother, are these corn plants really dead? Will they sprout again next year?"
Lin Chaodong looked at the corn they had worked so hard to plant in the yard wither and turn yellow with heartache. He asked Yue Jiuyue for a way to save it, but Yue Jiuyue cruelly told them to pull it up.
Pulled out...
It's easy to say and not difficult to do, but it hurts their hearts!
They were also hoping that the corn would continue to grow, so that they could harvest more golden, sweet ears of corn to boil, roast, or grind into flour...
Unfortunately, the ideal was far from reality; no matter how meticulously they tended to the corn, the corn stalks still all withered and dried up.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Yue Jiuyue offered a noncommittal suggestion: since the family wasn't short of firewood anyway, let the three brothers try it out. After they tried it, they would know whether it was feasible or not, and then they wouldn't think about it anymore.
"good!"
Lin Chaodong seemed to be encouraged and was full of energy. He immediately took a bucket to the lake to fetch water and then went to water the corn.
Yue Jiuyue: ...
Fine, there's only so much water anyway, let them do whatever they want with it.
In the front yard, the three Lin brothers were watering the corn, trying to save it. In the back yard, Liu was tidying up the two rooms that belonged to their family of three. Since Xiaoman'er was still young, she would sleep with them for the first two years. The room next door would be used as a storage room for the time being, and she would move there to sleep on her own when she was older.
That's right, we'll need to prepare more firewood this winter. The third and fourth children are also planning to sleep separately. I don't know if they'll sleep together again in the dead of winter, otherwise we'll need to heat an extra kang (heated brick bed), which will require a lot more firewood.
Preparing firewood was naturally not something Yue Jiuyue, at the top of the pyramid, needed to worry about. However, she didn't want to face Liu Shi's talkative mode, and she also wanted to earn some extra money, so she had to make two trips to the back mountain every day.
Of course, she absolutely wouldn't bring her daughter along; it wouldn't be convenient.
"Grandma, where are you going? I want to go too!"
When Xiaoman saw Yue Jiuyue leaving with her things, she abandoned her father and two uncles without hesitation and immediately ran towards Yue Jiuyue.
No one was playing with her today. Her mother was tidying up the house, and her father and uncles were noisily carrying water to water the corn. She was originally waiting for her father and two uncles to finish watering the corn before going out to play together, but she saw her grandmother about to leave first, so naturally she couldn't miss it.
Looking at the little girl clinging to her leg, Yue Jiuyue ignored the expectation in her big eyes and called to Lin Chaobei:
"Fourth brother, take the little girl out to play. It won't take three people to water the plants."
Xiao Man'er wasn't unhappy because Yue Jiuyue didn't play with her. On the contrary, she was even happier because Yue Jiuyue had sent Lin Chaobei over to play with her. She ran towards Lin Chaobei, grabbed his clothes, and tried to climb up.
"Little Big Big, quickly carry me out to play!"
