Fang Jie knew this couldn't possibly be their own corn. Their family had little private plot, so they planted about thirty corn stalks around the perimeter of their plot, and they had already eaten them all.
Song Yaohua answered quickly, "Mom, it was given to us by the fairy uncle."
"Uncle Immortal?"
"Yes, the fairy uncle gave us so much food, including peaches and pumpkins. He even fed our pigs and chickens. He gave the pig a whole trough full of peaches, and I was so envious."
Song Fanxing: ……
He still remembers it.
It seems she'll need to be more careful when allocating resources next time.
This second brother is so jealous, he'll even be jealous of pigs, he's unbeatable.
Fang Jie didn't believe Song Yaohua's lies, so she looked at her eldest son and youngest daughter.
She thought her two sons had gone to steal corn from someone's field.
Thinking of this possibility, she became serious.
Although she was poor, she would never allow her children to steal.
Song Yaohui said, "Mom, these things really did appear in our house on their own."
Song Fanxing nodded repeatedly, confirming her two brothers' words.
Fang Jie still trusts her children; they won't lie.
Soon, she accepted the fact that her family was blessed by the gods.
The only explanation that makes sense is that the youngest daughter suddenly has a necklace around her neck and now there's so much food.
Fang Jie picked up a piece of corn and took a bite.
Delicious, sweet and soft.
She had never eaten such delicious corn before; it was a hundred times better than the corn grown in her village.
Such delicious corn can only grow in the sky; it can't be grown on the ground.
Fang Jie had done physical labor and was hungry, so she ate two ears of corn and drank a bowl of corn porridge in one go.
After she had eaten her fill, she gave her three children some advice.
"Please don't tell anyone that the fairy uncle has been taking care of our family, okay?"
The three children nodded seriously.
They understand.
Song Yaohua pulled Fang Jie to the kitchen and saw three ears of corn in the pot, three plump pumpkins and five large peaches lying in the water tank.
His face was filled with excitement and disbelief.
Song Yaohua drooled as he looked at the big peach.
Fang Jie smiled, took out four peaches, and handed one to Song Yaohua.
"Eat up, no need to wash, things from the sky are very clean."
Then she went inside and gave one to each of her eldest son and youngest daughter.
Fang Jie took a sniff; the peaches emitted a delicate fragrance, and she knew they would taste delicious without even tasting them.
I took a bite, and it tasted even better than I expected.
After eating the peach, Fang Jie threw the peach pit into the cesspool to destroy the evidence.
After dinner, Fang Jie went back to work.
She only found out when she got there that Zhao Hong had taken leave.
People were discussing it animatedly.
"Zhao Hong's attempt to frame a 3-year-old child backfired; she tried to steal a chicken but ended up getting herself into trouble."
"You know, these days, everyone is starving, and we only get to eat meat a few times a year. How did Zhao Hong get so fat?"
"Could her family be secretly hiding something good?"
"It's probably true. Look at all the children in the village, only hers are meaty. The others are all as skinny as monkeys."
Then one person said in a very detailed manner, "At the beginning of the year, I heard the screams of wild boars coming from the mountains. Do you think someone in our village might have caught a wild boar and not handed it over?"
The person who caught the wild boar is self-evident.
However, without evidence, no one dared to report it.
If nothing is found, or if someone is wrongly accused, you will be the one who loses face.
As Fang Jie listened to their discussion, she nervously breathed on her hands and smelled them, afraid that others would smell the fresh corn and peach scent on her breath.
Thankfully, it's all digested now.
For dinner, Song Yaohui cooked boiled pumpkin.
There was no meat or oil at home, but luckily, this pumpkin tasted especially good even when boiled in water.
Soft, sticky, and sweet.
Song Fanxing was full after eating two small pieces.
She's only 3 years old, so it's normal for her to have a small appetite.
Fang Jie and Song Yaohui each ate an ear of corn, then finished the rest of the pumpkin. Finally, Song Yaohua drank all the water used to boil the pumpkin.
After a sumptuous dinner, the family went to sleep contentedly.
Song Fanxing was not idle while lying on the earthen bed.
Enter the Spirit Spring Space to farm.
The corn planted yesterday is already old, and the small pumpkins have turned into old pumpkins.
The peaches fell to the ground and quickly blended with the soil.
Song Fanxing felt extremely distressed seeing this, but she thought that the peaches would soon grow back.
Song Fanxing wasn't as heartbroken anymore.
She picked some corn, peeled off a handful of kernels and scattered them into the soil, cut up an old pumpkin, scooped out the seeds and threw them into the soil, and then poured a few ladles of spiritual spring water over them.
Song Fanxing moved the remaining corn into the bamboo house for storage.
She took both the cut and uncut old pumpkins with her.
After a busy day, she was exhausted and fell fast asleep on the earthen bed.
Fang Jie was the first to wake up. She was surprised to see seven or eight old pumpkins piled up in the center of the room. After a moment of surprise, she calmly got up and calmly moved the pumpkins to the large water vat.
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua also got up and helped Fang Jie move the pumpkins.
They had become accustomed to the blessings of the divine uncle.
Just as calm as Fang Jie.
There are too many pumpkins; the large water tank simply can't hold them all.
Fang Jie cleared out her dowry's large wooden chest, kept one piece for herself, gave the cut-up piece to the pigs, and put the rest back into the large wooden chest to hide.
Although she was reluctant to feed it to the pigs, there was just too much of it, and since they didn't have any grain to feed the pigs, feeding them pumpkin was the best option.
Fang Jie got up early today and personally cooked a pot of pumpkin and corn porridge. She used a whole pumpkin and cooked a big pot, enough for the whole family for a day.
