Yan Xiaonan also returned home while the educated youth were chopping firewood. The mountain air made her feel comfortable, and the hot springs in the mountains made her skin even whiter.
Yan Xiaonan was like a little mountain sprite, hopping and skipping through the mountains, picking wildflowers and plucking wild grass.
Tiger King accompanied her as she jumped and leaped around, her movements as light and agile as a happy cat.
Yan Xiaonan had already decorated the cave on the mountaintop to be very comfortable, moving the worn-out bedding and old furniture from home into the cave.
This cave must have been the dwelling of a mountain king, which is why it is particularly spacious and dry.
Yan Xiaonan set up the bed frame, laid out thick bedding, and then placed a table and chairs on it. He also found an old quilt and placed it at the entrance of the cave, which was for Tiger King to sleep on.
The Tiger King immediately took a liking to the cotton quilt as soon as he lay down on it, and cleverly licked his hands and feet clean with his tongue before stepping on it.
Seeing the Tiger King's appearance, Yan Xiaonan smiled. "He's still a tiger who enjoys life."
Zhongzi was muttering to himself, and Yan Xiaonan patted him, saying, "There's a blanket for you at home." Zhongzi fell silent.
Connected to this cave is another small cave, inside which is a stone stove, somewhat dilapidated.
Yan Xiaonan tidied things up a bit, taking out pots, pans, twigs, and firewood to give the place a more homely feel.
Yan Xiaonan took out rice and meat and started cooking. Having a space is really great; you can bring anything with you, which is so convenient.
Then they took out some wild boar meat and tossed it to Tiger King, saying that Tiger King had worked hard these past two days and this was a reward for him.
Tiger King "..."
On the way down the mountain, Yan Xiaonan went to the halfway point. Looking at the black earth, Yan Xiaonan closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to spread.
The soil began to turn, and the seeds in the space fell evenly into the soil. Green seedlings began to sprout, lush and verdant.
In the blink of an eye, the green rice turned greenish-yellow, and then golden-yellow.
Large swathes of rice lay on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the rice grains flew everywhere, the grains separated from the chaff, and the snow-white rice and golden wheat stalks were neatly piled on both sides.
At least three thousand catties of rice were generated under Yan Xiaonan's consciousness control, and Yan Xiaonan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
An eight-year-old's superpowers are indeed incomparable to those of a one-year-old. Back then, he would faint if he forced three acres of land to ripen, but now he can ripen six or seven acres of land in just a quarter of an hour.
After assessing her abilities, Yan Xiaonan realized she could develop even more, and closed her eyes again.
The chaotic dancing has started again. Anyone passing by would be terrified, but thankfully no one dares to come to this area.
We harvested about 6,000 jin of grain today, so our family will never need to buy grain again in this lifetime.
Yan Xiaonan walked down the mountain with satisfaction. In the distance, she saw several female educated youth twisting straw ropes, male educated youth chopping firewood, and several aunties teaching them.
Yan Xiaonan chuckled inwardly. The villagers of Mushroom Village were still kind; he just hoped that their kindness could last.
I hope these educated youth won't give the villagers a chance to regret helping you.
When Grandma Yan saw Nan Nan return, she hurried to the kitchen to get the freshly steamed rice cakes. Since the amount of white rice in the cellar was still not decreasing, Cuihua ground the white rice into powder and made sweet rice cakes to eat.
Now only Bei Nan is left at home. Bei Nan has to go to school in town every day, so Yan Xiao Nan is now much more unrestrained in taking things out.
The two piglets my dad brought back are already eating cornmeal. If the villagers knew, the Yan family would probably be drowned in their spittle.
Neutron is getting smarter and smarter. In addition to guarding the gate and keeping Yan Xiaonan company, it has another task: looking after the piglets.
Grandma Yan made Yan Xiaonan another cup of malted milk powder: "My dear, two female educated youths came to see you today."
Yan Xiaonan paused in eating the cake: "Grandma, why are they looking for me?"
Grandma Yan shook her head: "I bought some eggs and wild boar meat from my family."
Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, the educated youth are all from the city, they are spoiled and pampered, and they will probably throw a tantrum. Let's not get involved with them."
Grandma Yan thought about it for a moment and thought of her second son's wife, Cai Min. Wasn't she just prone to throwing tantrums?
She has no skills, but her temper has only grown. She's even corrupted a perfectly good child. She's really not a likable person.
My own precious child is the best. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also incredibly capable, and I never see her throw a tantrum.
"Grandma, I got several thousand kilograms of rice today. There's plenty for the family to eat." Yan Xiaonan took a bite of rice cake. Her mother's cooking was getting better and better.
Next time, I'll ask Mom to make more so we can bring some to Tiger King.
Grandma Yan nodded: "My dear child, so much grain can be exchanged for so many things, it's a pity we don't dare to do it now."
"Grandma, we have enough to eat and drink now, there's no need to bother with all this." Yan Xiaonan didn't care at all; those dozen or so boxes of gold and silver treasures were still hidden away.
On a sudden impulse, a gold bar appeared in her hand, its dazzling light almost blinding Grandma Yan.
Grandma Yan's hands trembled slightly, and her first reaction upon receiving the gold bar was to take a bite.
"Ouch, my tooth!" Grandma Yan covered her mouth; there was half a tooth mark on the gold bar.
"Baby, did you find this in the mountains?" Grandma Yan asked, guessing.
Yan Xiaonan gave a thumbs up, "Milk is amazing, her predictions are always spot on."
"Grandma, do you remember telling me about those bandits in the mountains?" Yan Xiaonan reminded her.
Grandma Yan's eyes lit up: "Baby, don't tell me you've found a treasure!"
Yan Xiaonan nodded and leaned close to Grandma Yan's ear: "Grandma, there are several boxes of gold bars."
With a thud, the cup in Grandma Yan's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Yan Xiaonan quickly put down the rice cake in her hand, found a broom and swept the broken glass clean, just in case Zhongzi cut his foot.
Grandma Yan instantly snapped out of her daze and painfully slapped her hand. Such a fine glass cup, and the Zhao brothers had gone to great lengths to get it.
Yan Xiaonan didn't care at all. There would be plenty of nice cups in the future, and this kind of glass cup was really nothing special.
"Grandma, I'm going to take the entrance exam for a university in Beijing. I'll ask Uncle to keep an eye out for good houses there and buy them for me. Then Grandma, Mom, Dad, and I can come live in Beijing together," Yan Xiaonan said softly.
"But aren't we no longer allowed to take the university entrance exam?" Grandma Yan asked, puzzled, as she hid the gold bars.
"Grandma, believe me, I can get into Peking University. Just remember to follow me and enjoy the good life." Yan Xiaonan patted her flat-chested daughter and said.
"Okay, Grandma will follow our darling. Wherever our darling goes, Grandma will go." Grandma Yan's heart was completely at ease. Goodness, several boxes of gold bars!
