Chapter 236: All Your Wishes Come True
Ding Xiaodie found an opportunity and quietly negotiated with the system Xiaoding: "Half a bag of rice in exchange for ten kilograms of cicadas!"
Wow, that’s ten kilograms, not ten or a hundred, but tens of thousands of them.
Is this request too much?
Xiao Ding silently typed a string of words on the TV screen. Ding Xiaodie sneered, "I wonder if you, as a system, know what loneliness is. Look at me. Although I came to a different world, I have family and friends. We can talk and laugh together. But you, with everything in the world and two worlds, you can only talk to me, and I am the only one who pays attention to you. So what if I don't talk to you? What are you doing? Are you jealous of me?"
An emoticon appeared on the TV screen: (へ╬)
Xiao Ding's reaction instead gave Ding Xiaodie more confidence.
She came up with this statement on the spur of the moment, because no matter whether it is a human or a system, unless he has no thoughts and language, once he has these, his thinking level is not just that of a cold robot.
It is an existence that desires communication more, just like animals. Anyone with thoughts will understand how terrible loneliness is.
Unexpectedly, five seconds later, Xiao Ding typed out a string of words: I agree, but you have to chat with me often in the future.
"Sure, no problem."
"Sister, who are you talking to?"
Suddenly a childish voice came into my ears.
Because of carelessness, the other children were busy catching the few cicadas, but Dingxiang did not move, and she even came to her favorite sister.
I accidentally saw her talking to herself.
Dingxiang was full of questions. What was going on?
At this time, Ding Xiaodie looked at her troubled little face and explained with a smile: "I'm praying to God for rain. If it doesn't rain, we will die of thirst!"
"Pray to this big tree?" Dingxiang asked with her head tilted.
"Yeah, praying to this century-old tree might help!"
"Then I want one too."
Dingxiang completely believed what she said. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to mutter something. She not only prayed to God for rain, but also asked Ding Hao to speak faster and prayed that her grandmother Wang Dafeng's madness would be cured soon.
That little mind is very busy!
At this moment, a large dark cloud suddenly floated over from the distant sky, whistling and getting closer and closer.
Is it really going to rain?
Ding Xiaodie narrowed her eyes, and only realized the next second that dark clouds would not move so fast. It was cicadas, a group of cicadas.
Xiao Ding is pretty awesome today!
Ding Xiaodie took the butterfly net from Ding Xiang's hand while no one was paying attention. In a flash, the dark cloud was right in front of them.
Buzz!!
There was a huge roar, thousands of them, deafening.
In the blink of an eye, countless cicadas were densely packed on the branches and leaves. They were all plump but moved lazily.
It seems to be telling everyone: Okay, come and catch me!
All the little rascals were so frightened that they froze.
I have never seen so many cicadas, it’s so scary!
At this moment, a net plopped into the leaves, and then the net bag was almost full. This was too...
"What are you waiting for? Catch them!" Ding Xiaodie held the net with all her strength. The first net was so cool that she could catch so many. She turned around and shouted excitedly, and the little kids immediately waved the net excitedly.
You have a net, I have a net, this side, this side, that side!!
Although we were tired and sweating, everyone was having a great time catching fish. Almost everyone was screaming with excitement. It was great! We could finally take something home.
The scene happening before their eyes shocked the adults passing by so much that they were speechless for a long time. Then they hurriedly turned around to get the nets, hoping to catch some as well.
When most of the cicadas on the trees had been caught, Ding Xiaodie saw that everyone had made a considerable harvest.
Xiao Ding was very generous this time. The total weight of all the people should be more than ten kilograms.
She whispered, "Thank you!"
Xiao Ding typed a smiling expression.
It's really rare. Ding Xiaodie turned around and joined the group showing off. She caught so many cicadas. She will definitely be praised by the adults when she returns home.
The Miao children were very clever: "I didn't expect those big trees to attract cicadas so much. Let's come back tomorrow."
"Yes, come back tomorrow. That tree is very spiritual."
"Sister, will our prayer for rain work?" Ding Xiang turned to look at Ding Xiaodie. She had no choice but to coax her: "I don't know. It all depends on God's will!"
Seeing her friends' eyes full of joy, she couldn't help but smile.
She gave half of the cicadas in her hand to Dingxiang, and took the other half home, asking her mother to fry them in sesame oil to make a snack for her father.
Dingxiang knew that if she went to catch them by herself, she wouldn't be able to catch so many given her height, so she met her cousin Qian for a while.
In fact, this little girl is really sensible.
Ding Xiaodie had thought countless times about how people with the moral character of Yu Sunshi and Ding De could raise a lilac. If there was only one normal person in their family, such as Ding Mei with a positive outlook on life, it would be fine, but all three of them were weird.
However, Dingxiang herself is very independent in her thinking and knows how to be polite and humble.
…
Sure enough, the fried cicadas surprised and delighted Ding Gui. He drank the beer that Ding Xiaodie took out from the space, hummed a tune comfortably, and gently swung his legs while tapping the rhythm on the table with his fingertips.
This was probably the happiest time for my father since he came here through time.
Ding Xiaodie and her mother looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
The moonlight outside the window has quietly climbed up the treetops, the stars are hanging high, and the bright moon is in the sky. It is a most beautiful scenery, but the heat contained in it can be imagined.
It feels extremely stuffy.
Ding Xiaodie took her grandmother to the yard to cool down, but she didn't expect that Yang, Bai, and several women in the village would join forces and come to the door together.
"Xiaodie, where is your mother?"
This is strange. She asked her mother as soon as she entered the door.
Moreover, it had never happened before that so many of them came together to look for their mother.
Zhang Xiu, who was busy in the kitchen, quickly agreed: "Ladies, I'm here and will be out in a while."
As she spoke, she hurriedly hid the oil bowl, water bowl and jar of salt into the cupboard. There was only a small amount of these things when the villagers distributed them.
For example, the solidified lard is just a small piece for you, and as for the salt and water, they are even less and less.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly put these things away because she didn't want other sisters to see them. After all, if anyone had all these things together, that person would be extremely rich!
During this process, everyone in the yard took a deep breath and said, "A Xiu is really clever and skillful. She made such a delicious meal out of such a small amount of food."
