Master Chen's raised leg paused, and he lost his balance, almost falling flat on his face!
Trade something for it?
Wasn't this a gift from someone before?
They came empty-handed this time, hoping to take as much as possible!
They didn't bring anything with them. Besides, they were very poor, and the county government really couldn't provide anything decent that would be suitable for a farmer's use!
Isn't this just making things difficult for them at the last minute?
That's incredibly unsportsmanlike!
Gao Yuchen couldn't come this time; he was too busy and couldn't spare the time. He asked Master Chen to bring a few people to help pull it back.
After returning home on the day the Mo family moved in, Gao Yuchen and Master Chen thought about it for a long time and decided to go to the Mo family to get some plants to grow!
There's no way around it, the sweet potato vines and leaves are just too delicious, and the fruit they grow is called sweet potato, it's so fragrant when roasted!
It made them really want it; the more they couldn't have it, the more uncomfortable they felt!
They didn't have the money to buy them, the Mo family couldn't spare much for the people to plant, and they couldn't find a female knight-errant either!
If they could find the heroine, there might really be a solution, but even Chen Liang doesn't know where she is, so there's no use in them worrying!
Sigh! After thinking it over, I've decided to find someone to help me plant it first. I can't give up any opportunity!
They resolutely refuse to admit that they also crave it!
Master Chen arrived with great joy, having come early so he could take the seedlings back and plant them. The land had already been prepared by someone else!
Now they suddenly say they want to change things, and after looking at them from head to toe, they don't have anything valuable on them!
Master Chen tried to negotiate, "Well, we came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. Could you let us take it back first and exchange it for you another day?"
Su Nanxi laughed. She felt like Master Chen was just making empty promises to her!
Does the county government have anything valuable to exchange?
"You are officials, and we ordinary people have no use for your things, but there is one thing you can exchange for!"
Master Chen's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Labor!" Su Nanxi slung her basket over her shoulder, grabbed her machete, and said, "We gave you so many sweet potato vines, it's not a loss for you to help with the work, is it?"
"This..." Master Chen hesitated for a moment, "Hehe, we don't have much free time either. How long do you plan to make us work? The others are all hardworking people, so farm work is definitely no problem for them, but we really don't have much free time. Do you think we can shorten the time a bit?"
Su Nanxi glanced inside and saw Gao Yuling come out after changing her clothes. "It'll only be one day, it won't take up much of your time! You can go back before sunset this afternoon, how about that?"
Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified, thinking he would be kept here to work for ten or fifteen days!
Thank goodness, it's only been one day, it's nothing serious!
"Alright! Deal!" Master Chen agreed readily, then turned to the men behind him and said, "You guys go and get to work. Do whatever you're told, or you won't get any food!"
Gao Yuling walked over, picked up the basket, and upon hearing Chen Shiye's words, couldn't help but ask, "Hey! What kind of work are they going to do?"
Tsk! That's how they look when they're working, dressed so simply and casually!
As Su Nanxi walked towards the gate, she said, "Didn't you want to experience the mountains? My kids said it looked so fun, so I'll take you there too. I have a feeling we'll have a great time today!"
What?
A great find!
Hehe! Just thinking about it makes me so excited. Is catching wild animals really as easy as picking them up?
She wanted to broaden her horizons!
I can brag about it when I get back!
Oh my, the Mo family children are so self-disciplined! They put on their baskets and straw hats and followed along!
Don't we need to call out to them?
It seems like I didn't hear Nanxi calling them over!
The Mo family children were already used to it, so they didn't need Su Nanxi to call them to do chores!
What's more, they had just heard Auntie say she was going to catch wild animals!
How could I miss such a great opportunity!
If Auntie San didn't want them to come along, she would have told them in advance. Since Auntie San didn't say anything, it means they can come along!
Hehe! Line up and let's go, they are the cutest dolls!
Master Chen also noticed the Mo family's children. Surprised, he secretly sighed, "These are the children that other people's families have!"
They work entirely on their own initiative; they don't need adults to tell them what to do!
They were all incredibly excited!
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were picking up candy to eat!
They were there to work, it was tiring, and it was hot and sunny, not to enjoy themselves!
For the Mo family children, going to the mountains to catch wild animals with Su Nanxi was a fun and enjoyable experience!
No one else could even imagine doing this!
I don’t know how many people have tried to imitate Auntie San’s schemes and traps, but the number of those who have succeeded is too many to count on one hand!
Whenever their third aunt makes a move, no matter how simple the trap is, she can easily catch several wild animals!
This is why the Mo family children love to run around with Su Nanxi so much!
Su Nanxi sometimes organizes picnics, which are so much fun!
Sigh! They've all been bribed by Su Nanxi! Gao Yuling heard about it too, and she's thinking that if they really catch some wild animals, she'll have a picnic!
Master Chen and his group were completely unaware of what was happening; they simply followed along. They had no expectations, after all, they had been called there to do the work!
Seeing everyone else with smiles on their faces, I was puzzled. Did these people really enjoy working?
They walked with their heads held high and chests out, their steps powerful and rhythmic, almost as if they were jumping and skipping!
Can anyone tell them why these people enjoy working so much?
No one answered their questions!
Once they reached the mountain, as is customary, the children went mushroom picking and wild vegetable gathering, and also picked up any familiar or interesting things they saw!
Su Nanxi set up a few simple traps and then went on to do other things.
Gao Yuling and Master Chen's group were puzzled. Could they really catch wild animals?
Wow, that's too rudimentary!
This is much worse than what they did before. They don't believe they can catch this. This is just a joke!
Gao Yuling was also a little disappointed. She thought there would be some ingenious and meticulous trap, but it turned out to be just this.
Is it possible?
Su Nanxi ignored their reaction and asked them to come and help dig up medicinal herbs, just the common kind, for home use for health preservation and soaking in water.
In the sweltering heat, it's necessary to dispel dampness, relieve summer heat, and reduce internal heat. Herbal tea should be drunk regularly!
After finishing all that, I went to help the children pick mushrooms and dig for wild vegetables.
The child was very quick; he probably wanted to see the trap as soon as possible, so he was very fast!
"Nanxi, can we go check the traps now?" Gao Yuling asked.
Su Nanxi finished setting up the basket. "That's about it. You guys wait here for a bit. I'll go check and call you back in a bit!"
Kao Yu-ling wanted to go with them, but the children stopped her, saying, "We'll wait a little while."
All right!
Since none of the Mo family children went, she shouldn't go either!
Good things take time!
"How long?" Who taught you that?
"Just for a moment, there are only a few traps to watch out for! Wait... Auntie's calling us, run!"
Everyone rushed over immediately.
"Whoa! Am I hallucinating?"
