Chapter 63: Planting Vegetables

Su Muyang glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered to Su Mingyue: "Your second brother came back to the village for something! I will take over your uncle's position in the future, so I have to lay a good foundation in the village, right? You little girl, our situations are different!"

Su Mingyue looked at Su Muyang with a smile, and imitated his movements, saying to Su Muyang: "Then I will need Second Brother to take good care of me in the future! Come on, Second Brother!"

Su Muyang nodded at Su Mingyue's forehead, waved his hand at her, and said, "Okay, go back! Second brother will come to see you in the afternoon!"

Su Mingyue said: "Well! Second brother, I'll wait for you in the afternoon!"

In the afternoon, Su Muyang and Su Mingyue planted vegetables in the backyard. Because the weather was still relatively cold, they had to cover the seeds with a layer of plastic sheeting to keep them warm. In fact, they only planted vegetables in a small area, and she planned to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the rest of the area.

Su Muyang saw that she only planted a small piece of vegetables, so he asked her: "Mingyue, why do you only plant vegetables in this small area? There are still large pieces of land!"

Su Mingyue smiled and replied, "Oh, I'm going to plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes in that empty space, and then I'll get some corn seeds and plant some corn and other nutritious plants!"

Hearing this, Su Muyang couldn't help but look at Su Mingyue, carefully observing her expression, wanting to confirm whether she was just saying it casually.

However, when he found out that Su Mingyue was not joking, he looked at Su Mingyue with some heartache, so he lowered his voice and asked with concern: "Mingyue, why do you suddenly want to grow these things? Are you worried that you won't have enough to eat in the future? Mingyue, don't worry, our family will not ignore you. Besides, you still have your second brother! Second brother will help you! Don't put so much pressure on yourself, understand?"

Su Mingyue was shocked when she heard Su Muyang's words. She had never expected that Su Muyang would guess her thoughts like this! She slowly raised her head and met Su Muyang's eyes. She saw that his eyes were full of sincerity and honesty, without any falsehood.

Obviously, at this moment, every word the boy said to his sister was from the bottom of his heart and sincere. Although Su Mingyue didn't know how long this sincerity could last, at this moment, her heart was deeply touched and she was deeply moved.

She looked into Su Muyang's eyes, and said to the owner of those slightly distressed eyes: "Second brother, I know! I planted these things not because of these! It's because I went to the county the day before yesterday! I heard people in the county say that many places in the south have been flooded, and the crops in the fields have been washed away. Many people have no food to eat. This winter, there is very little rain here. Since the Chinese New Year, there has only been a small rain. It is really a bit abnormal, so I thought of planting more food to ensure that we are full, just in case!"

After Su Muyang heard what Su Mingyue said, he looked a little suspicious. When he looked at Su Mingyue, his expression eased a little. He smiled and said to Su Mingyue, "You are right to do this. I also heard about the situation in the south from my former classmates a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I will talk to my father about this matter. He knows more people than us, so it's perfect for him to inquire! If it's true, our village may have to store food! Later, we will take our friends up the mountain and secretly get some things to prepare for what will happen later! When we get to the mountain, you just follow me, understand?"

Su Mingyue nodded and said to Su Muyang, "I understand, second brother!"

Su Muyang thought to himself that since he had learned this important news, he must start preparing as soon as possible. He knew that Mingyue's family was not well-off and probably couldn't afford to spend extra money to store food. If his family generously donated money to help Mingyue, Mingyue's stubborn personality would probably not accept it.

After much thought, Su Muyang decided to gather a few brothers and take Mingyue to the mountain. They would hunt and sell the prey for money, and then give some to Mingyue. In this way, Mingyue would have money to buy food and prepare food! Although they couldn't share too much money at a time, they could go into the mountain more often!

Then, he planned to set some traps and snares with Mingyue around the mountain. In this way, the prey they caught would not have to be shared with others, but what about their own share? Su Muyang didn't want it at all, after all, Mingyue needed it more.

After Su Muyang saw that the vegetable garden in the yard was ready, he said to Su Mingyue: "Mingyue, you wait at home for a while. I will go out and find a few people to come over. Let's go up the mountain together. Let's go deep into the mountains today and try to hunt a big one. Then we can get a lot of money. When I come back from work tomorrow, I will take you to the perimeter of the mountain to set up some traps and sell all the prey for money."

As soon as Su Mingyue heard Su Muyang's plan, she understood instantly. She knew what her second brother was planning.

So, she quickly said to Su Muyang: "Second brother, no need! My family still has a lot of money! Don't worry about it, this money is enough for storing food! Besides, the village will definitely organize everyone to go hunting in the mountains in a while! I will also go with them, and I will also get a share when the prey is divided!"

Su Muyang listened to his sister's words and couldn't help but look at her, carefully observing her expression. He saw that Su Mingyue's eyes were clear and firm, full of seriousness, and she didn't look like she was lying to herself at all.

Seeing this, Su Muyang's heart finally settled down a little. After he heaving a long sigh of relief, he turned to Su Mingyue and said, "So that's the case! Since we have money, it couldn't be better! However, even so, we can still go up the mountain this time! If we are unlucky and fail to catch any big prey, then we can catch a few smaller ones. It's also good to bring them back and taste them to satisfy our cravings! After all, I am greedy again!"

After hearing what her second brother said, Su Mingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her big watery eyes curved into two crescents, making her look particularly adorable.

She nodded gently, indicating her agreement with Su Muyang, and then responded obediently: "Well, what Second Brother said makes sense! Then I'll wait for you at home!"

After getting a response from his sister, Su Muyang smiled with satisfaction and went out to call for help.
