Chapter 42 Please give Yaya back to me
Some water splashed out and a strange smell floated in the air.
Old Mrs. Huo sniffed, "What's that smell? Huo Danian, are you stupid? You dare to bring home any random thing!"
Huo Danian felt very aggrieved, "I'm not the only one who went to collect it, every household has collected it!"
Then he thought, "No, it seems that the Ye family didn't go to pick it up."
Old Mrs. Huo was so angry that she kept hitting his head, "I told you you're stupid, but you still refuse to accept it. If it's really a good thing, why would the Ye family not want it!
"Da Nian, you have to remember that our Huo family is a family of scholars, unlike those poor people in the village who even think shit in the pit smells good! You need to have a broader vision so that you won't be laughed at when you go to the town!"
Huo Danian's face lit up with joy. "Mom, can Yao and I really go to the town in the future?"
Old Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes at him. "When Zhongnian becomes the county magistrate, all of this will be just a matter of a word from him! Don't ever say such nonsense again. If Zhongnian hears it, be careful that he won't acknowledge you as his brother, and then you'll be the one who suffers!"
"I understand, mother. I will never dare to do it again."
Old Mrs. Huo's expression softened a bit, and she covered her nose in disgust, "Quickly pour out this stinky water!"
"Okay, mother!"
Huo Danian picked up the bucket and walked out the door. With a "splash", the bucket was empty.
…
The corner of the Ye family.
Ye Yanping had a sad face and looked absent-minded.
Ye Yan'an couldn't help but say, "Brother, you don't have to be like this, right? It's just that your sister-in-law is mad at you. It's no big deal. It will be over in a couple of days!"
Ye Yanping said weakly, "Hey, you don't understand. She doesn't even look at me now. I really pissed her off this time. Maybe she really dislikes me. Ah An Ah Shun, am I really stupid?"
Ye Yanan and Ye Yanshun: "..."
"Why aren't you talking? I called you here today to hear your honest opinions. Just go ahead and speak. I can handle it!"
Ye Yan'an glanced at Ye Yanshun and asked, "How about you speak first?"
Ye Yanshun shook his head, "No, the bigger one comes first."
Ye Yan'an pondered for a moment, "Brother, let me put it this way, I don't think you are stupid at all..."
Ye Yanping looked up: "Really?!"
"...It's just that my brain sometimes can't make sense..."
Ye Yanping instantly wilted, "A Shun, what do you think?"
"My opinion is similar to Second Brother's. Big Brother, you're not stupid, it's just... your intelligence isn't obvious..."
Ye Yanping squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, scratching his head in distress, "Isn't this what stupid means? You two, give me some advice!"
Ye Yanan: "Brother, we don't know how to coax your wife. We can't help you even if we want to!"
Ye Yanshun: "Yes."
They are still single!
Ye Yanping pointed at the two of them and said, "Don't think this has nothing to do with you. If your sister-in-law goes back to her parents' home in anger, we will have to eat the food she cooks..."
There was a deathly silence.
Ye Yan'an said, "I know. I remember one time, Mom was mad at Dad, and Dad wrote her a poem. Mom, after hearing it, giggled, stamped her foot, and said in a pinched voice, 'Hmph! You damned bastard!' Then, they reconciled."
Ye Yanping said irritably: "Writing poetry? Do you think I can do that? Tell me what I can do!"
Ye Yanshun said, “I have read in a book an allusion about ‘repeated encounters with shooting pheasants, and repeated smiles’.
It tells the story of an ugly man who married a beautiful woman. The woman disliked his appearance and never smiled. The man took her to the wild, drew his bow and shot an arrow, and shot a pheasant with one arrow. Seeing his skill, the woman immediately smiled.
Ye Yanping slapped his thigh and said, "That's great! I know how to do this!"
…
Before dawn, Heihe Village was already bustling with activity.
After watering the fields yesterday, everyone was so excited that they couldn’t sleep well all night and came to the fields to check on the crops before dawn.
As expected, the rice ears changed completely overnight and grew as well as those of the Ye family.
They had never seen a rice plant produce so many ears of grain.
The old people lay in the fields and cried with excitement.
I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!
I never thought I would be able to see such a miraculous thing in this life!
"This is the nectar sent by God!"
"It must be the Goddess Xiaojiu who is helping us!"
Everyone was so excited that they were going crazy. This year was bound to be an unprecedented bumper harvest! Such a thing was simply unimaginable!
"Hey, look! Why hasn't the Huo family's rice changed?"
The Huo family's rice was sandwiched in a vast ocean of lush vegetation, looking as ugly as a bald spot.
"I remember Huo Danian went to collect water and fertilizer yesterday."
"Maybe it hasn't been poured on yet?"
After a while, Huo Danian came over slowly with his head down, carrying a hoe.
"Dannian, why haven't you watered or fertilized your fields yet? Look at everyone else's fields, then look at yours!"
Huo Danian raised his eyes and was instantly stunned.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get some water and fertilizer and water the fields. Tomorrow they'll be growing just as well as everyone else's!"
Huo Danian woke up as if from a dream, threw down his hoe and ran home.
Something happened, something big happened!
That's not stinky water, that's magic dew!
…
A quarter of an hour later, Old Mrs. Huo was rolling around in front of the ancestral hall.
"God have mercy on me! My family can't survive. Village head, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"
The village head looked impatient. "I told you yesterday that every family only has one bucket of fertilizer. No more! Your family spilled it. Who can you blame?"
"Village head, other people's rice is growing so well, you can't just sit there and watch my family suffer! You must have some water and fertilizer, can't you just give me another bucket?"
"It's really gone!" The village head had no choice but to open the door of the ancestral hall and show her. "Look for it yourself. If it's there, I'll give it all to you!"
Old Mrs. Huo got up and looked around, but found nothing.
"Then tell me where you got this water and fertilizer. I can get it myself, right?"
The village head pretended not to hear.
"Did that girl give it to me? Isn't she said to be a goddess? It must have been her! I'm going to ask her for it!"
Old Mrs. Huo ran to the Ye family like crazy.
"Oh my, this crazy old woman is so infuriating!"
The village head was almost going crazy with anxiety.
Old Mrs. Huo was blocked outside the yard by Luo Qiuyue.
"Yaya! Yaya! I'm your dear grandma! Come out quickly, grandma wants to see you for something!"
Luo Qiuyue was so angry that she laughed at the word "grandma".
"Kissing grandma? You dung beetle wearing a mask, you shameless bastard! If you don't want to get beaten, get out of here!"
Old Mrs. Huo leaned over to her with a flattering expression, "Mother Yan Ping, I'll return the two taels of silver to you, and you'll return Yaya to me, okay? Let's keep our distance from each other, just like before."
Luo Qiuyue sneered.
Old Mrs. Huo turned to Huo Danian and said, "Go back and get two taels of silver. We'll take Yaya home today!"
