Chapter 276 The Early Bird Catches the Worm
Liu Qingru knew that her elder brother from her maternal family didn't have any money, so she took the initiative to ask for it.
“Sister-in-law, we collected a lot of mountain products and bought some silver in the mountains. We’ll pay for the foundation for you first.”
Shen Junshan echoed,
"Yes, if you buy a small foundation, you won't be able to add to it later. It's better to get it right the first time."
Although Shen Junshan and his wife both said they would help pay for it, the Liu family still insisted on buying one mu of land.
Seeing that his mother-in-law and brother-in-law were so insistent, Shen Junshan didn't say anything more.
“If your family wants an acre, then the extra acre can be allocated to me. My wife likes to raise chickens and ducks, so we can enclose the yard a bit bigger so we can grow more vegetables and raise more chickens and ducks.”
Shen Junshan's idea was that if the Liu family thought the courtyard was too small in the future, he could move some of it over, but he didn't have much money for that now.
After all, it's better to deal with things later, and having too many complicated family relationships like theirs isn't a good thing.
Although Gu Yunrou's manor is quite large, there aren't enough rooms for so many people to move in at once.
Fortunately, Ning Bao's family was allocated two rooms each, so it was convenient for the men to sleep in one room and the women in another at night.
Although they don't have their own house yet, they already have a home. The women lie together and chat quietly, while Ningbao sleeps in Shen Yuzhen's arms, listening attentively.
Liu Qingru said in a low voice,
"This place is so beautiful. Although I didn't have time to go to the beach properly today, I took a glimpse of the sea from afar. The sea is so beautiful, and the water is even blue."
Now that we're next to such a large sea, we'll never have to worry about running out of water again.
Ning Bao frowned.
"Aunt, today Grandpa Huang, the village chief of Chuyun Village, said that the water in the sea is not drinkable. Seawater is salty and drinking too much of it is bad for your health."
We should use well water or the river water nearby, but river water is unsuitable for both drinking and irrigation.
Hearing Ningbao say that seawater is undrinkable, the other women in the room were also very shocked. Li Guizhi, who was sleeping on the other side of Ningbao, proudly touched Ningbao's chubby little face.
“Our Ningbao is really amazing. She actually knows that seawater is not drinkable. This news is very important. Yuzhen and Qingru, don’t forget to tell the children at home tomorrow.”
Those mischievous kids would drink any water they could find, no matter what it was.
Also, the children love to play in the water. There are only seas and rivers here, and the water seems to flow very fast.
Although the weather isn't hot yet and children wouldn't normally go into the water, they're all eight or nine years old, an age that everyone dislikes, and no one can guarantee they won't go into the water when it gets cold.
So tomorrow I must gather all the kids together and give them a good scolding.
We've never been to this beach before, so there are many things we need to be careful about. We'll put in the effort and gradually figure things out, so we can integrate into life here as soon as possible.
…………
Ningbao fell into a deep sleep amidst the sounds of everyone talking.
When Ningbao woke up the next morning, the room was empty. Ningbao jumped out of bed and was about to get dressed when Shen Yuzhen walked in from outside.
"Ningbao is awake. Should we get up now, or sleep a little longer?"
Ningbao sat there wrapped in a blanket, half asleep, and mumbled something.
"rise!"
Shen Yuzhen smiled indulgently at her little daughter's sleepy expression.
"We won't have to travel every day anymore, and you, a little kid, won't have to get up so early."
You must be tired from the journey. Try to get some extra sleep each day to recharge.
Ning Bao suddenly opened her sleepy eyes.
"Mother, Ningbao is in good spirits and doesn't need to be raised."
My master said that the early bird catches the worm, while the late bird gets eaten by the worm.
I want to be an early bird, and I'm quite busy too.
I want to take my friends to exercise. Health is important; only with good health can we earn more money.
We can't stop exercising just because we'll have a family and a comfortable life in the future.
Ningbao got dressed, quickly washed up, and prepared to leave, but she stopped after taking only a few steps.
"Mother, where are my second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and Sikang brother?"
These older brothers were also members of the small team. Every time Ningbao woke up, they were already waiting outside the room. Today, she didn't see any of the brothers, which puzzled Ningbao.
Shen Yuzhen glanced at the next room.
"Hey, you're still not up."
Ning Bao frowned.
"The older brothers are too lazy. Do they want to be birds that get eaten by insects?"
Ningbao felt she couldn't let her brothers slack off, so she quickly went to the room where they slept and knocked on the door with her little hand...
