That night, Yue Jiuyue was exhausted again and fell asleep in the bathtub while taking a shower. She was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night.
She just had a dream in which a sudden downpour flooded their Linjia Village, and she was almost swept away by the floodwaters...
Thankfully, it was just a dream.
After casually wiping the water off her body, ignoring how her skin had been soaked, Yue Jiuyue poured the bathwater into the mouse hole again before crawling into bed to continue sleeping.
The next morning, before dawn, everyone got up. When Yue Jiuyue was woken up, she checked the time and it was not yet 4:30!
She only woke up this early when she was in elementary school!
Well, except for staying up all night.
"Mother, you should stay at the threshing floor and watch over the drying wheat today. Xiaoman shouldn't go either; the sun is too strong, and you'll have to keep an eye on her."
Lin Chaodong had just finished speaking when Liu interrupted him with a single sentence:
"It's alright, Mom. I'll take Xiaoman to the wheat field. That way, she won't be so naughty."
Yue Jiuyue: ...
They're afraid she'll sell the child! Where's the trust between people?
However, being able to go to the threshing ground to dry and inspect the wheat is fine; it should be much easier than constantly bending over to cut wheat.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care who Xiaoman was with. If she wasn't with her, she could relax a bit. Children are full of energy, and her old arms and legs didn't have the energy to accompany them. If something went wrong and she got hurt, how could she explain it to other parents?
Before Lin Chaodong could say anything more, Liu kicked him under the table. He looked at Liu, then at Yue Jiuyue, but in the end, he said nothing.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care. She wasn't the original owner of this body, nor was she Lin Chaodong's biological mother. She had no intention of showing off her mother-in-law's power, and she didn't want to get involved in anything concerning the three of them. She knew that it would make her a nuisance!
After breakfast, Yue Jiuyue carried a stool to the threshing ground and spread all the bundles of wheat out to dry. She would get up every now and then to turn the wheat over and dry it, and she was also responsible for scaring away the sparrows that flew down to look for food. She was never free for a moment.
The main problem is those sparrows! They don't even seem afraid of people. They only fly up when Yue Jiuyue is right in front of them, and then fly back down to continue eating once Yue Jiuyue sits down again.
Even more outrageous, after they became proficient, they started playing a game of cat and mouse with Yue Jiuyue, flying all over the wheat field. Yue Jiuyue chased them all over the wheat field to get rid of them, and her legs almost broke from running.
This won't do!
Yue Jiuyue, panting and clutching her aching back, watched as the sparrow landed on the wheat and began pecking at it. She then opened the shop and started selecting a "bird-catching artifact."
"I'm very sorry, no relevant items were found."
Yue Jiuyue searched for "bird-catching nets" again, and then the "Green Net Project" popped up on the 2023 Mall.
Yue Jiuyue: ...
Hey! This is ancient times, okay? And it's an ancient times that didn't even exist in history! Can't this shop be a little more intelligent? She really needs a bird-catching device! Otherwise, all the food will be eaten by these birds, and people won't be able to survive!
Perhaps Yue Jiuyue's thoughts were too strong, because a fishing net popped up in the shop?
Okay, a fishing net it is, as long as it can catch these birds that are competing with her for survival.
So Yue Jiuyue bought a huge fishing net specifically for catching small fish and carefully set it up on the threshing floor.
