Chapter 399 Dealing with Trivial Matters



Liu Shile happily dug up all the medicinal herbs she thought she could, and then she stopped.

After eating some fruit and drinking some beverages, she returned to the cave to retrieve supplies.

However, she did not take all of the refined grains such as rice and wheat; she only took out a quarter of them.

The rest were all things like corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

She took some of whatever was growing in the fields outside that could be stored for a long time.

The cave is quite large, and it can store quite a lot of things.

However, Liu Shile has not relaxed her planting efforts at all over the years.

Therefore, she has an unusually large amount of supplies in her warehouse.

Liu Shile was satisfied when he had filled the cave.

As for the small hut they built, it was filled with crops that her sister had harvested from the fields.

As for the cellar, Liu Shile didn't bother with it, otherwise her sister would have been scared to death.

However, she didn't just sit idle. Now that she was up here, she was bound to do some work.

So they harvested the ripe produce from the field and then stored it in the cellar.

Big White and Little White were very well-behaved and helped with a lot of chores.

Originally, Liu Shile wanted to take them away, but then she thought about how there were many large wild animals in the mountains.

If we take them away, it might not be safe for the older sisters to come up here.

So in the end, she didn't plan to take them with her.

It may seem a bit selfish, but who doesn't have selfish desires?

Besides, it's not like she won't come back in the future.

After taking care of things here, Liu Shile leisurely descended the mountain.

Big White and Little White were quite reluctant to part, but they also knew very well that their owner could not stay in the mountains.

So they escorted their owner all the way to the foot of the mountain, watching her figure disappear from sight, before turning back.

At home, Liu Shiping was quite annoyed. This younger brother was too troublesome, and he didn't want to take care of him anymore, nor did he want to show off.

Unfortunately, his father seemed pleased to see the good relationship between the brothers, so he couldn't abandon his troublesome younger brother.

"Third brother, why..."

See? That kid is so annoying. Every now and then I ask him "why," and then every now and then I ask him "why" again.

He couldn't answer many of the questions himself, so he got a little annoyed.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Shi'an had a lot of questions and would ask them from time to time.

When Liu Shiping saw her second sister return, she felt for the first time that she was a savior.

So he hurriedly greeted his second sister, and of course, he didn't forget to bring his younger brother along.

Liu Shile found it amusing; this kid looked like he'd been thoroughly tormented by Shi'an.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have spoken to himself so sincerely.

It seems the little guy holds a grudge; knowing his third brother wouldn't dare do anything to him, he's causing trouble here.

She knew very well that the little guy was very well-behaved with Grandma Wang.

"Shiping, Shian, I picked some figs in the mountains. Go wash them and eat them."

Liu Shile planted some figs in the mountains. They're quite nutritious, so you can eat more of them.

It's fig season now, and she didn't hesitate to pick some to eat.

Anyway, if no one picks those fruits, they'll just rot on the ground, which is such a waste.

Although my eldest sister said she would discuss going to the mountains with her husband's family, her husband is not home right now.

So they probably won't be going up the mountain for a while, so it's better for her to harvest a batch first.

Figs are actually quite rare here; not many families grow them.

Liu Weisong originally wanted to tell his daughter not to run around in the deep mountains, after all, she was a girl.

But thinking about how she single-handedly went to find her youngest son, she swallowed her words.

"Dad, how about I dig up two fig trees and plant them in the yard?"

Their house isn't large, but the yard is quite spacious, and they can grow enough fruits and vegetables to be self-sufficient.

However, since we didn't plant any fruit trees, this fig tree can be grown as a bonsai, which would be suitable for planting at home.

Of course, even if you don't grow it as a bonsai, this thing doesn't take up much space.

Looking at the two children washing figs with beaming smiles, Liu Weisong said, "If it's not too much trouble, you can dig up a couple and plant them."

Well, for Liu Shile, that's certainly not a problem.

She grew so many figs on her farm that she couldn't eat them all, so she had a processing workshop make a lot of dried figs.

As a result, Liu Shile was quite busy for the next few days.

While my adoptive mother has indeed let them down, my adoptive father also bears some responsibility.

But seeing him all alone at home with a child, Liu Shile's heart softened after all.

So, she reorganized the vegetable garden at home.

I also set up a small orchard, which actually only has a few kinds of fruit trees.

Fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, figs, oranges, and pomelos.

She chose small saplings for these fruit trees, so they wouldn't grow too tall, but the yield would still be high.

While taking care of these things at home, Liu Shile didn't forget to visit the temple.

She told the old monk about her journey, and the old monk was very happy for her.

Then, she asked Wang Guangying to send some seeds back to his family from time to time so that his father could plant them.

Wang Guangying agreed without hesitation, but was very reluctant to see her leave.

Despite her reluctance, she was still very happy for Liu Shile.

After finishing the matter, Liu Shile took her younger brother to Grandma Wang's house.

Because in a few days, it will be the day she leaves the country.

Before she left, her eldest sister gave her a little over two hundred yuan, which was her savings.

When it came to Grandma Wang's turn, she had also prepared quite a few things.

Among them were new clothes and shoes that she had made herself, which Liu Shile could certainly accept.

However, there was also some money and a large yellow croaker hidden inside!

She wanted to say she didn't want money or yellow croaker, but that would expose something about her.

After much deliberation, Liu Shile finally accepted it.

However, she didn't plan to use it; she just intended to keep it for the old lady and return it to her when Zhu came back later.

Grandma Wang smiled with satisfaction when she saw that she had accepted the items, and told her to take good care of them and not to lose them.

She didn't mention that there was money sewn into her clothes, nor did she mention that there was money and a large yellow croaker in her bag.

She thought Liu Shile didn't know these things, but Liu Shile was just pretending not to know.

So before leaving, Liu Shile secretly left some precious medicinal herbs for Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang is in good health now, but she is getting on in years.

Keeping these things is better than nothing.

After all, she lives far away, and if something happens to her, she won't even receive a message.

Not to mention rushing back to help out.

"Second sister, you must eat well and take good care of yourself while you're away!"

Little Liu Shi'an looked reluctant to part with her, but he was very sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss.

Instead, she acted like a little adult, reminding her older sister to take good care of herself.

Liu Shile patted his little head, smiled and told him to rest assured, and asked him to take good care of Grandma Wang.
