Chapter 81 The Disabled Boss Chases His Wife Across Thousands of Miles
Xia Wu woke up at around five o'clock.
I was woken up by Yang Mingyue and her brother.
It was the Qingming Festival holiday and the school was also closed. Xia Wu had previously recruited children from the village and students from Yang Mingyuan's class to pick raspberries. They could get money for picking them. Many children fell in love with this project and even asked Yang Mingyuan to ask Xia Wu if they could also come to pick raspberries during the holiday.
No money required.
As long as food is included.
Xia Wu thought that if there was such a good thing, he certainly couldn't miss it.
The raspberry seedlings she bought were not tall, and adults had to bend down all the time to pick them. Except for tourists who came to visit, no one in the village liked to pick them.
It just so happened that the raspberry jam made by Wang Yuexia was selling very well online. Xia Wu was worrying about who to find to pick raspberries, and then these little brats came to his door.
No matter who comes, Xia Wu accepts them all. It's all about food. She doesn't have much at home, so there's definitely enough food.
Yang Mingyue had some good relationships with classmates, so she simply asked her to invite her friends as well.
The children have nowhere to go during the holidays, so it is better for them to come and pick fruits than to play games at home.
It's just that the kids were a little excited and came too early.
It was past two in the morning and Xia Wu was still feeding Brother Snake spiritual spring water. She had been staying up late editing videos the night before, so she hadn't slept for very long that day.
After getting up, Xia Wu first drew well water to wash her face. The cold well water made her completely awake. Then, according to the usual practice, she added spiritual spring water to the well water. The Yang family used well water for daily drinking, watering, etc.
Liu Guizhen also uses well water to wash clothes, and Yang Guojun uses well water to wash cars. The diluted spiritual spring water will not be wasted, but will seep into the soil. The vegetation near the Yang family grows exceptionally lush and green.
water cycle.
Xia Wu understood very early on that the spiritual spring water was not only effective when drunk directly. As long as the spiritual spring water entered the water cycle, vegetation, animals and humans would be affected to some extent.
Just like when she gave her family spiritual spring water, she didn't deliberately let them drink it, but added it to the well water, added it when brewing tea, and then ate vegetables and fruits rich in spiritual spring water...
If you think about it this way, not only the Yang family will be affected by the spiritual spring water, but other villagers in Yanggou Village should also benefit from it.
However, the concentration of spiritual spring water is not that high, so the effect may not be as obvious as that of the Yang family.
Xia Wu had also worried before that if only the Yang family was getting better and better, it would attract some attention.
Ever since she inexplicably came into possession of the spiritual spring water, Xia Wu had been thinking a lot. As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is found guilty of possessing a treasure. She would never let anyone else know about such a miraculous thing as the spiritual spring water.
She wouldn't tell anyone, not even her close parents or her silly brother.
This is self-protection and also protection for them.
Otherwise, once the news leaked out, Xia Wu's peaceful life would be gone. She had seen the ugly faces of some classes and did not want Lingquan to become a privilege enjoyed by the rich.
She just wants to live a peaceful and stable life like now.
Of course, sometimes in order to hide her own peculiarities, she also showed kindness. She was not worried about scarcity but inequality. In a village, the Yang family could not be the only ones who could eat and drink well and live a good life, otherwise sooner or later others would be jealous.
Everyone’s well is the real well-being.
After washing her face, Xia Wu felt much more sober and helped Liu Guizhen to cook the meal. She found a small basket and a bottle for picking raspberries at home, and asked Yang Mingyue and her brother to take the things and gather at the village committee.
A little after six o'clock, Yang Mingyue and her classmates and friends had basically all arrived. Many children came by themselves without any adults accompanying them.
If the distance is close, walk together; if the distance is far, ride a bicycle.
As soon as Xia Wu arrived, the children began to greet her, "Hello, Sister Xia Xia!"
"Sister Xia Xia, you are beautiful again!"
"Sister Xia Xia, I love you! I love working! When are you going to work?"
Xia Wu held her forehead and tapped the head of a rather naughty little boy, "Wang Junkai, right? You're not playing games at home today?"
Wang Junkai stuck out his tongue sheepishly and ran away from Xia Wu: "My grandma doesn't want me to play games, she wants me to do work for you!"
"Let me make it clear first, there's no pay for working today, just eat and drink!"
"Don't worry, we don't want any money!"
"Yes! I'll do it even if you don't want any money!"
"Can I eat raspberries freely?"
The children were chattering and seemed very enthusiastic. Some of them even brought their own bottles because they thought the bottles Xia Wu made last time were not easy to use.
"As long as you don't have diarrhea, you can eat as much as you want. When everyone arrives, go to my house for dinner. Just like last time, divide into teams. Where are your team leaders? Find your team members. Those who didn't come last time, please stand aside. I will divide you into groups again."
Xia Wu divided a dozen or so children into five groups and assigned team leaders to manage them to prevent the children from running around and causing safety problems.
The oldest of these children was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was six or seven years old. As usual, Xia Wu let the older children lead the team, and the younger kids would follow him.
Although the child was obedient and well-behaved, it took Xia Wu's team half an hour to wait for the other children.
Yang Guofeng came to the village committee early in the morning. It was a busy day, so as the secretary he had to take action. When he arrived, he saw a group of children on the open space of the village committee. Xia Wu was directing them to line up. The experienced Yang Guofeng immediately understood what Xia Wu was going to do.
"Xiao Wu, are you training your boy soldiers again?" Yang Guofeng teased. Every Saturday and Sunday, the children of Yanggou Village would take the initiative to find Xia Wu. They would be willing to work even without being paid. When they were tired from playing, they would go home and not bother to play games. They would just lie down and sleep. They were also much more diligent in doing their homework. Many people in the village praised Xia Wu for his good teaching and were eager to let Xia Wu take care of their children every day.
Where does Xia Wu get so much free time? She only lets these little brats come on weekends. She just needs to provide them with delicious food and drinks. These energetic little brats are like perpetual motion machines and are very useful.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yang, I'll take care of your grandchildren too!"
Yang Guofeng laughed out loud, "That's great, I'll definitely feel relieved." After saying that, a wave of melancholy came over him. His son was almost thirty years old and still hadn't married. He didn't know if he would be able to hold his grandson before he died.
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Wu explained the business. She was going up the mountain today, and she had already told the villagers about the tourists coming to the village. Everyone should take their positions, do what they should do, make money as much as they can, and do their duties. However, if there is any emergency, Yang Guofeng will have to step in to resolve it.
Yang Guofeng said he knew and he got up early just for this matter.
With more and more people coming to Yanggou Village to play, the villagers can earn some money. Some of the more creative ones even asked Xia Wu if they could make lunch and sell it. Xia Wu was of course willing to transfer these troublesome tasks out, as she didn't want her home to be messy. Moreover, doing so would provide more choices for the tourists who came to play, in case they wanted to change their taste.
When they got home, Liu Guizhen had already steamed the buns, and the buffalo milk that Mr. Yang Si had sent was also heated up. Xia Wu took out a few bottles of jam and everyone could eat and spread it. Except for the youngest child who needed Xia Wu's help, the other children could take care of themselves.
The youngest child who came with Yang Mingyuan was called Naodan, an orphan. His parents died shortly after he was born. The only relative left on Naodan’s father’s side was his grandfather, who said he couldn’t support him, so he sent him to his grandparents’ house.
Naodan's aunt teaches in the village primary school. Her salary is not high. Naodan has to support three children and two elderly people. It's so tiring.
So Yang Mingyuan found someone to pick raspberries at school. When his cowardly aunt found out, she packed up her three children and sent them over.
Naodan's cousins were only two or three years older than him. When they were having too much fun, they couldn't take care of their younger brother, so Xia Wu simply kept Naodan by his side.
The children in the village were basically raised in the wild. Xia Wu had never seen so many old-fashioned children before, with gray clothes, dirty collars and cuffs, dirty faces, and messy hair...
Boys and girls are about the same.
Older children might be okay, but younger ones like Naodan are simply unbearable to watch.
Xia Wu checked their hands in advance, cut their nails one by one, and washed their hands clean with soap before leaving, otherwise he was really worried that these boy soldiers would get diarrhea after eating raspberries.
After the kids had eaten and drunk their fill, Xia Wu said in high spirits, "Are you all full?"
“I’m full!”
"Then let's go pick raspberries!"
"Report! I want to poop!"
Xia Wu almost fell down.
Children work like perpetual motion machines, but they either eat or poop, and there is no perfect time in life.
Xia Wu asked the team leader to stay and wait for the team members who needed to poop, and she took the other children to the foot of the mountain first.
The fence at the foot of the mountain is very long. Those with sharp eyes can see the red raspberry fruits hidden in the fence from a distance. The children are obviously excited and run and jump to find a good position.
Xia Wu warned them: "Be careful with the thorns! Pick them slowly!"
"Okay, got it~"
The children's voices when gathered together are still very cute.
"Bad guy, come here and pick them," Xia Wu found a good place for the short Bad guy.
"Okay~" The bad guy carried a small bamboo basket the size of a palm and ran to Xia Wu's legs with his short legs.
This raspberry tree is very short, probably still a baby raspberry, but it bears a lot of fruits.
If Xia Wu wanted to pick the raspberries, she could only do so while squatting. She squatted next to Naodan and watched him raise his little finger and carefully put his little claws into the raspberry bushes. He picked the fruits one by one safely and then carefully put them into the basket.
It was slow, but he was careful not to prick his hand.
He would pick about three raspberries and put them in the basket before the coward would eat one. Before eating, he would look at Xia Wu's expression. Seeing that Xia Wu had no intention of stopping him, he would carefully put the raspberry into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face. After eating five or six raspberries, and Xia Wu had no reaction at all, he gradually became bolder.
Before coming to Yanggou Village, Xia Wu rarely came into contact with so many young children.
Children from wealthy families, even if they are young, are much more cunning than normal children. They are also arrogant, sharp-tongued, and love to show off. They are simply young adults.
In her previous life, Xia Wu didn't like children, especially Fu Shilin's niece. That girl was so hateful. She was a replica of her uncle, with an even worse personality. She was also an extreme uncle complex. Whenever she met Xia Wu, the two would quarrel endlessly.
After knowing that Xia Wu was a fake daughter, the child's intention to watch the fun was extremely obvious, and he could accurately poke Xia Wu's fragile heart every time.
But now thinking about it, maybe in her previous life, Xia Wu was arrogant and didn't treat the little kid as a child at all. She even deliberately got jealous of the kid. No wonder people disliked her.
It’s a pity that we won’t have the chance to meet again in this life, otherwise I would apologize to her in every possible way.
Seeing that the children were picking raspberries properly, Xia Wu asked Wang Junkai from the team to take care of Neudan while she went to release the chickens, ducks and geese.
After the courtyard with the well was built, Xia Wu moved the chickens, ducks and geese at home to the mountain.
She was not as open-minded as Mr. Pu and did not dare to let the chickens, ducks and geese roam freely. She could only let them out every morning and put them back in the pen before dark.
Before letting them out, Xia Wu would feed them something first, so that they wouldn't go hungry all night and eat whatever they saw.
The chickens, ducks and geese are fed with vegetable leaves mixed with bran, and no feed. The vegetable leaves are the bad leaves picked off when packing vegetables. The bran and bean feed are purchased from the village and are all organic food without additives.
Xia Wu stirred the bran with ease, grabbed a handful and threw it into the chicken coop. The chicks scrambled to eat it. The ones at the back couldn't squeeze in, so they bravely moved forward even by stepping on the heads of the chicks in front.
After feeding the chickens, ducks and geese, another half hour passed.
As soon as Xia Wu opened the door of the pen, chickens, ducks and geese immediately rushed out.
"Black Bean, drive the chickens to the orchard, and Golden Bean, don't let the ducks and geese get away!"
At Xia Wu's command, Jindou and Heidou, who had been prepared, immediately rushed out, struggling with their short legs, trying to drive the chicks that were about to fly away back to the main group.
Although Jindou and Heidou are still young, under Xia Wu's careful care and strict training, they have developed the demeanor of sheepdogs. Their authority among chickens, ducks and geese is second only to that of humans. Every night they help Xia Wu drive the chickens, ducks and geese back to the pen.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to rely solely on Xia Wu.
Black beans are more reliable than golden beans. There is no problem in driving the chickens to the orchard. If it is golden beans, they will most likely be attracted by the fallen fruits in the orchard and forget their original mission.
The ducks and geese are easy to take care of, just drive them to the lake at the foot of the mountain.
When geese are young, they are light yellow and look like furry little toys. As they grow up, they will gradually shed their juvenile feathers, and their feathers will become hard and white.
The ducks raised by Xia Wu are mallards. They are not big in size and are smaller than geese.
The ducks and geese did not interact with each other, dividing the lake into two parts, each of them being the king.
Xia Wu raised thirty-five geese, which he bought in two batches. The survival rate was 100%. These geese had big appetites and could not get enough to eat outside, so they had to be fed twice a day, morning and evening.
There are eighty ducks, mainly for eating duck eggs.
Xia Wu squatted by the lake and carefully counted the number of ducks and geese to make sure there were none missing. Then he went to the fence to watch the children picking raspberries.
There were already tourists there at this time. When they saw the children picking raspberries at the foot of the mountain, they couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Xia Wu didn't want to meet too many people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to greet them all. So he hurried to the orchard while there were few people around to see if Hei Dou had completed his task.
As soon as he arrived at the orchard, Xia Wu heard Hei Dou's fierce roar.
"Woof! Woof!"
It screamed and retreated, and the chickens that should have dispersed hid behind it and trembled.
Xia Wu: “???”
"What's wrong?"
She walked over, squatted down, touched Hei Dou's head, looked in the direction of its cry, and then saw a small amount of blood and a few chicken feathers.
Her chicken!
Xia Wu was heartbroken. He carefully observed the crime scene and found that the blood had dried up. He guessed that he had forgotten the chick when he was driving the chickens away at night. He left it alone in the orchard in the middle of the night and didn't know what danger it encountered.
Hei Dou obviously realized this as well. He rubbed Xia Wu's feet and whimpered, with guilt and self-blame written all over the puppy's face.
Woo woo, it’s all its fault for not driving all the chicks back into the pen.
"It's okay, it's okay. I don't blame you. We'll be more careful next time." Xia Wu felt sad for a while. Raising chickens is bound to cause losses. After all, there must be other wild animals living on such a big mountain.
But no matter what, I can't eat her chicken!
hateful!
Not knowing whether it was a weasel or a snake that did it, Xia Wu was very angry, but he couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise Hei Dou would blame himself to death.
Last time, they bought two pigs for the Liangliang banquet. Xia Wu asked Wang Yuexia to make the leftover pork into pork jerky, which she packed herself using a packaging machine. There were two or three pieces in a bag, and Xia Wu carried it with him to feed Jindou and Heidou.
She stroked Hei Dou's head comfortingly, "It's okay, you've done great. You'll definitely be even better when you grow up!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of pork jerky and placed it in his palm, "Eat it. Eat more so you can grow up faster."
Hei Dou lay on the ground, covering his mouth with his two small front paws, as if to say that he was embarrassed to eat it. After Xia Wu's repeated persuasion, he finally mustered up the courage to eat the piece of pork jerky.
Hei Dou decided that he must protect the chickens well. This is his responsibility!
Originally, after the chickens were released into the orchard, Heidou and Jindou could go play with Xia Wu. However, when Xia Wu was about to leave, Heidou refused to move.
Xia Wu had no choice but to find two ripe apricots as a reward and put them next to it, along with a bag of opened pork jerky.
"Then you stay here and I'll bring you lunch at noon."
Hei Dou barked twice, as if to reassure Xia Wu.
Jindou circled around his brother a few times and bit his tail mischievously, wanting his brother to play with him as usual. However, Heidou ignored him and refused to go with him and his owner. Jindou became anxious. He looked at his brother who refused to move, and then at his owner who was about to leave. He hummed a few times and realized that he had to make a choice. He lay down next to his brother dejectedly. Forget it, he would rather stay with his brother.
Xia Wu received a call. Ji Yunzhou also came and asked her where she was. Xia Wu slapped her forehead and remembered that she had invited Ji Yunzhou to play yesterday and said she would pick him up. She was busy and forgot about it.
"Wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I'll be there soon."
Xia Wu hurried down the mountain, leaving the two little ones in the orchard.
Wait a minute! Jindou suddenly stood up. Did the owner forget something? It’s here too! Why didn’t he leave any fruit and meat for it?
This is not fair!
The chickens were no longer in a panic at the beginning, and after calming down, they began to throw food on the grass in the orchard. There were more than a hundred chicks, which did not seem like a lot after they spread out in the orchard.
Hei Dou put his paw on his howling sister's head, signaling her to stay where she was while he patrolled his territory.
Walking to the crime scene and sniffing around, Black Bean smelled a pungent, pungent odor. Humph! He'd memorized that smell! The next time he saw that chicken thief, he would never let that nasty thief go!
There is no shelter in the orchard, so the chickens can easily get scattered while walking. Whenever a chick wants to leave the flock, Hei Dou will arrive in time and drive the lone chick back to the main group.
With it, the chickens were safe. Hei Dou patrolled the orchard like a victorious general, thinking he had done a good job and it was time to enjoy the reward from his master.
It returned to the tree where the fruits and meat were placed. Its sister Jindou was lying there, sleeping soundly with her white belly exposed. When it looked next to it, its fruits and meat were gone!
They were all eaten!
Black Bean couldn't believe his eyes! After circling twice, he only found two licked clean fruit cores, and finally he had to accept reality.
“Ouch~”
When Xia Wu was going down the mountain, he seemed to hear a desperate dog barking. Was it Hei Dou?
She stopped and listened, but heard nothing.
"Maybe it was the sound of the wind blowing through the valley. I heard it wrongly."
When Ji Yunzhou appeared in the village, he caused some commotion.
He was taken to the gate of Yang's house by the driver. As it approached eleven o'clock, more and more tourists came to the village. To go up the mountain, they had to pass by the gate of Yang's house. The combination of a luxury car and a handsome man in a wheelchair attracted the attention of many young people, and they all speculated about Ji Yunzhou's identity.
"Jingjing, is that handsome guy here to play too?"
Zhao Jing's role today was as a tour guide, directing tourists not to run around on the mountain. She had seen Ji Yunzhou a long time ago, but she didn't know how to explain his identity.
All I could say was, "No, he lives nearby."
"Live nearby? It seems like there are quite a lot of rich people here. That car is priced at a minimum of two million, and it even has a driver... Oh my god, he's so young and so handsome, could he be some wealthy family's illegitimate son who's been living away from home?"
"Why is he an illegitimate child?" Zhao Jing asked curiously.
"Isn't that what's written in novels? If he wasn't an illegitimate child, he wouldn't be in a place like this." Realizing there was something wrong with her words, the young girl quickly made amends: "I'm not saying your place is bad, I just don't think it seems to be a good match for him."
They had walked some distance away, but the young girl couldn't help but look back.
"I see he's still in a wheelchair. It must be that the wealthy family doesn't want to acknowledge him and is afraid that he'll suffer outside, so..."
Xia Wu came towards them, and Zhao Jing quickly greeted him: "Xia Xia!"
After seeing Xia Wu, the young girl suddenly lost her voice and looked at Xia Wu walking towards her with wide eyes. She had seen Xia Wu in the video and knew that Xia Wu was very beautiful. Just like in the camera, Xia Wu in real life was also very beautiful, and it was certain that there was no beauty filter or photo editing.
But seeing Xia Wu in real life is far more impactful than what he sees on camera.
Fresh and full of vitality, it seems that every pore is radiating charm.
"Xia Xia! Hello! I'm your fan!" The girl finally reacted and screamed for Xia Wu's handshake, praising him. "You're so beautiful! You have such great skin! How do you maintain it? Can you teach me?"
Xia Wu shook her hand, winked and smiled, saying, "Haven't you noticed that the people in our village all have great skin? Maybe it's because they eat healthier."
After a few words, Xia Wu passed by them. The girl watched her walk towards the handsome guy in the wheelchair, her mind a little blank.
Maybe it’s not a story about a rich family’s illegitimate son living among the common people, but it’s very likely about a disabled gang chasing his wife across thousands of miles!
