Chapter 17: Going to the Market



"Osmanthus...it's time to go to market...come out quickly."

At the door, the people on the oxcart shouted loudly, notifying the people around. Those who want to go to the market had better hurry, because this is the only chance, it is too rare.

“Here it comes…Here it comes…”

Miao Guihua took out all the things she had prepared and put them in her basket, then carefully covered it with a cloth.

"Big brother, you are the older brother, so look after your brothers and sisters. Be good at home and don't go to the back mountain."

"Mom...I want to go too."

Chen Yun blinked her starry eyes at Miao Guihua, hoping to convince her dear mother to go with her. She didn't remember the term "market" and had always wanted to go.

"No, you're still a little too young. If you were a little older and your father was there, I'd let you go."

Miao Guihua thought about the crowds at the market and immediately hardened her heart and disagreed with her daughter's idea. There were so many people at the market that she couldn't take care of Niuniu by herself. Besides, although Niuniu's health had improved, her foundation was still damaged and would not be much better.

"But……"

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Shen Yun looked pitiful. She wanted to go, she really wanted to see the market. In her previous life, she could only listen to people talk about how wonderful the market was, but she couldn't go and see it herself.

"Okay, Afeng, take good care of your brother and sister. If anything happens, go to the village chief's house and call your father."

Miao Guihua thought of her daughter's lethality and immediately handed the hot potato to her own child. She had better leave quickly. If she continued to linger, she would probably be defeated. There was no other way. Facing the child's big eyes, filled with requests and expectations, Miao Guihua really couldn't bear to do it.

"Okay, okay, Niuniu, how about I take you around the village? It's not convenient for mom to take us to the market. Although the market is lively, there are too many people."

Chen Feng had no real yearning for the market. All he remembered were the seas of people, the feeling of being squashed into pulp. This feeling had always been something he'd avoided, but there was no other way. That kind of pressure wasn't something most people would even consider.

"Yes! Yes! Niuniu, the brothers will take you for a good tour of the mountains. I tell you, there are many fun places."

"We can look for pheasant eggs...we can look for rabbit hives."

If they are lucky, they can hunt prey and pick up some unexpected surprises. No one will pay attention to these. As long as they hide them secretly or divide the spoils evenly, they will have no worries.

"Yeah?"

Chen Yun couldn't help but be distracted by her brothers. She thought that if she couldn't go to the market, she would just go wander around the village. She had no memories of her childhood in her previous life. All she remembered was working, working... Because girls were money-losing goods, if they didn't work, they wouldn't have food, and they couldn't go to school, let alone play.

"Yes, it's fun. Don't worry, I'll take care of you!"

Chen Yu patted his chest and assured him that he was the most playful person. In Xiashan Village, he was the leader, like a father. In the future, he would become such a person.

"Well... then, let's go quickly!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Feng tidied up his sister's clothes, then looked at his younger brothers around him. Since they had coaxed his sister well this time, he didn't let them do any work and let them play for a day as a reward.

"Ayu, Lei Zi...Brother Feng, why are you all here today?"

"Why are you still bringing this burden with you?"

The people around them immediately turned pale. They were planning to go fishing in the river today. What good was this burden, especially a girl who only knew how to cry?

"What burden? This is my sister."

"That's right, this is my sister, not a burden. If you don't want to join, don't participate."

Humph, bullying his sister is bullying them. Don't think they can't see it, he just wants to compete with his eldest brother for power. Who's the boss? The one with the biggest fist is the boss. You're a coward, and you want to lead a group of them? Dream on.

"Boss... Boss... What are we going to do today?"

"Yeah! What are we going to do today? I saw some fish appearing by the river, so catching some fish would be a good idea."

"How about we go pick mushrooms? Unfortunately, we can't go to the back mountain, so we can only go to the hill opposite."

Everyone was a little frustrated. They couldn't understand why the back mountain had suddenly become a forbidden area. Everyone at home had repeatedly warned them not to go near the back mountain. A pack of wolves had come and settled there, and they couldn't go in. Going in would be crossing the line.

"Let's go fishing! Fish has a high nutritional value."

Chen Feng thought of the delicious fish soup and looked at Niuniu beside him. Fishing was easier and simpler than hunting or building a rabbit hive. Niuniu's body wasn't suited to strenuous exercise, so fishing with Niuniu watching him should be no problem.

"Well, good then, let's go fishing."

"I'll go home and get my tools."

"I'll go back and get my tools too."

After hearing this, many people dispersed. Everyone wanted to get more fish. After all, it was rare to eat meat once a year. No matter how small the fish was, it was still meat.

"Brother...are there really fish in the river?"

Chen Yun couldn't help but lean his head in and peer into the river. The water was crystal clear, and it didn't look like the kind of water that could hide a fish. Could there really be fish here?

"Yes, don't worry! Wait and see how I catch fish for you."

Chen Lei stretched his body. He had to stretch his body before he could go into the water.

Chen Feng, Shen Yu and a few others also took a group of people to move around. They were all people who were good at climbing mountains and swimming, and everyone knew the importance of stretching their muscles.

"Niuniu...just wait on the shore, don't go into the water."

"Yes! You are weak, so don't go into the water. The water is too cold and the chill is too strong."

Chen Feng gave Chen Yun some instructions, then looked around at his companions. They had all taken off their clothes. Fortunately, Niuniu was still young, otherwise Chen Feng wouldn't have wanted Niuniu to see all this.

There are differences between boys and girls; children under six years old shouldn't sit at the same table. While there aren't as many rules in the countryside, girls still need to be more careful. Chen Feng decided to have a good talk with his brothers later, and to be more careful in the future so as not to negatively influence Niu Niu.

"I understand, don't worry, brother!"

Shen Yun nodded seriously. She would take care of these things. She had finally gotten everything she wanted. She had her parents and brothers' love. Shen Yun would not joke about her body.
