Chapter 115 Life is getting better
Yike ate peaches and burped continuously, muttering in his heart: "Pink peaches, it's all because you are too tempting."
Ziyi also heard Yike's hiccups and hurriedly stopped Yike from eating any more: "If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Come and help pick them so that you can give them to mom and the others later."
"It's so delicious! How can it be so delicious? I want to eat more!" Yike reluctantly put down the peaches in his hand and helped Ziyi pick the ripe peaches.
The three of them only picked some peaches and went to Zhang Yuling's place. Today they had to dig holes to make fertilizer.
"Mom, eat a peach, it's so sweet and delicious!" Yike peeled a ripe peach and handed it to his mother Zhang Yuling.
"Mom, eat a peach. It's sweet and juicy." Du Jiankang also gave Wang Cuihua a peach from the field.
"Godfather, eat peaches, they are delicious." Ziyi also gave Du Qingcang a peach from the ground.
"tasty!"
“So sweet!”
“How sweet!”
The greedy Yike couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw her mother and the others eating so happily. Unfortunately, she really didn't dare to eat any more, otherwise her stomach would really rebel.
"Yike, come here. I'll give you the sickle. I'll dig the hole and you go cut the grass. Once the hole is dug, you can start making fertilizer." Ziyi saw Yike swallowing his saliva and was afraid that Yike would not be able to control himself and eat again, so he called Yike away. Out of sight, out of mind, so he would naturally not think about eating anymore.
"Okay, then I'll go mow the grass." Yike took the sickle and prepared to mow the grass.
"Hit it with a stick first and then cut it." Ziyi shouted loudly to Yike who was walking away.
"Got it." Yike found a patch of tender weeds and started cutting them, as tender weeds are prone to rot.
After Du Qingcang and his friends ate the peaches, they started digging holes. It took them a whole day to dig two holes, about three meters long, two meters wide, and one and a half meters high.
"Ziyi, there is mud all around here, and the manure will seep into the ground. Is there any cement? How about we mix cement and sand and apply it on it?" Yi Ke said worriedly. I thought it was a good thing that this was a forest, otherwise it would have caused pollution to the surrounding area.
"Yes, there is some left over from the last time we built the bathroom. It should be enough to fill a hole. Aren't there a lot of stones over there? We can move them over and lay them underneath, and then use cement. This way it will be more solid." Ziyi pointed towards the peach tree.
Yes, besides the shrubs and a peach tree, the most common things on the peach tree side are stones of various sizes.
But I didn't take a close look just now, so I don't know if the ground there is made of stone like in the cave. If it is stone, then I can use the pile method to make fertilizer there.
Yike told Ziyi his idea, and the two of them went over to check it out. This sight made the two of them very happy. What they wished for really came true. The ground there was really made of stone. No wonder there are so few big trees, just some shrubs.
Yike now has even more doubts about whether he is really blessed with good luck. This is probably the benefit given to him by the time-travel god.
The Great God of Time Travel:? ? ? ?
…"Yike, is your stomach feeling better?" When Yike opened her eyes, what she saw was Ziyi's handsome face. The two buttons on his light blue shirt were undone, and his Adam's apple moved as he spoke. The concern in his eyes made Yike fall for him.
"Brother Ziyi," Yike hugged Ziyi's neck and kissed his Adam's apple.
Ziyi quickly took Yike's hand away and stuffed it into the quilt, "Be good, don't move, or you'll catch a cold." In fact, it was also very difficult for him. Every morning Yike would act coquettishly in various ways, making him feel uncomfortable and happy.
"No! I want to give my brother a good morning kiss." Yike pretended to get up, but Ziyi hurriedly held her down and kissed her on the forehead.
"Hey, I'll give you a good morning kiss. You can make it up to me next time. You had a stomachache for half the night last night. Don't get up so early this morning. Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Yike remembered that she ate too many peaches yesterday, which caused her to have a stomachache in the middle of the night. She ran to the toilet and cried in pain. Ziyi was busy all night. She said distressedly: "Brother Ziyi, you should get more sleep. You didn't get enough rest. I'm fine now and I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Ziyi thought about it, then lay down again and fell asleep next to Yike.
In the kitchen, Zhang Yuling and Wang Cuihua were also talking about a stomachache in the middle of the night.
"Yike had a hard time last night. His face turned pale from the stomachache." Zhang Yuling said while washing the cabbage.
"That's right. I heard the noise and came out, and saw Ziyi carrying Yike running to the toilet, going back and forth several times. If she hadn't been able to prescribe the medicine herself, who knows when she would get better." Wang Cuihua also sighed.
"Thank you for your hard work last night. You even got up in the middle of the night to boil medicine." Zhang Yuling said gratefully. She was originally going to get up to boil medicine, but was later persuaded to go back to sleep.
"It's just a small thing, not a lot of hard work. I used to spend a lot of time boiling medicine in the middle of the night. If Yi Ke hadn't cured my illness, I don't know when it would end." Wang Cuihua's eyes couldn't help but become moist when she thought of the sadness of having to get up in the middle of the night.
"That girl is really smart, but she is a little greedy." Zhang Yuling washed the cabbage and cut a small plate of lean meat.
"It's not that she is greedy. She must have been scared of hunger in the past. I heard that she almost starved to death, so she can't control her eating. Can this lean meat be used for frying?" Wang Cuihua asked as she put a few large dry wooden sticks into the stove.
"That's true. Her mother is too mean." Zhang Yuling lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it with a spoon. "We won't fry the meat today. You can't eat it, lest she sees us eating meat and gets jealous. Soak the lean meat in the porridge when it's ready. People with poor stomachs can easily absorb it."
"You know a lot." Wang Cuihua praised sincerely.
"This is what Yike said. Jiankang had just arrived and was very weak, so Yike told him not to eat this or that, and that he could only eat some meat porridge and vegetable porridge. I thought Yike was reluctant to let Jiankang eat it, but Yike said that it was because Jiankang had been taking medicine for a long time, and his gastrointestinal function was also damaged. He couldn't eat too much all at once, otherwise he wouldn't be able to digest it. How else would I know all this?"
"Yes, no wonder I cooked meat for him when he was in better health before, but he felt uncomfortable after eating it, and I didn't know why. Now that you say it, I understand, it's really the case. I am really grateful to Yike. If your Ziyi hadn't taken it first, I would have wanted Yike to be my healthy daughter-in-law. But now it's not bad to be a daughter. I must have earned the blessing in my previous life to have Yike agree to be my goddaughter." Wang Cuihua started to cry as she spoke.
"Hey! Why are you still crying?" Zhang Yuling was startled.
"I am so touched, so touched! I used to think that my life would just go on like that, and when he passed away one day, the child's father and I would certainly not survive either, and we would just go with the child. Who could have thought that there would be such an opportunity for us to encounter. Not only can our whole family survive, but we can also live with you, eat so well every day, live so happily, and even have some money saved. This is something I never dared to imagine before." Wang Cuihua wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile.
"Yes, meeting Yike is not only an opportunity for you, but also for us. Ziyi used to keep silent every day, and I didn't agree to let him get married. Although he is not my son, I have taken care of him for so many years, and in my heart he is like my own child. I have been worried. To be honest, during the Chinese New Year, we discussed that we must buy him a wife this year no matter what, and he had to carry on his family's incense, and we finally gave in after much persuasion. I didn't expect that he would find a wife by himself, and such a good one. Didn't you see how nervous Ziyi was about Yike? He also became cheerful, and our family can finally be happy every day. All these are brought by Yike. He is a lucky doll, and has brought blessings to all of us." Zhang Yuling couldn't help but talk a lot.
"Well! Not only our family, but other mountain people are also blessed by Yi Ke, otherwise they would still be in the old caves and don't know where to find food tomorrow after eating today." Wang Cuihua agreed very much and said that Yi Ke was a blessed person. As the saying goes, one person's blessing brings blessings to the whole family.
"Mom, I have already fed the pigs in the cave. I will go feed the cows. I can also feed the pigs in the woods. You don't have to go." Du Jiankang said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Okay, go quickly. Yuling, now that the chickens and ducks are put into the chicken farm, I feel like I have a lot less work to do. You see, I even have time to help you light the fire." Wang Cuihua waved her hand and told her son to go quickly and not to disturb her conversation with Zhang Yuling.
"Yes, this way I feel much more relaxed. I don't have to be busy in front of and behind the stove." Zhang Yuling was also very happy to have someone to help her.
"I heard that many people outside starved to death, and some people even exchanged their own children for food." Wang Cuihua said in a low voice.
"Wang Cuihua has never been out of the mountain, so I don't know where she heard the news. As long as you have a gossipy heart, news will fall from the sky even if you sit at home, haha." Yi Ke heard such explosive news as soon as he reached the kitchen door, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Mom, godmother, is there anything I can do for you?" Yike deliberately said loudly.
"Yike, you're up. Is your stomach still hurting?" Zhang Yuling heard Yike's voice and quickly walked over, looking at Yike and asked.
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore." Yike felt a little embarrassed when talking about this.
"You should rest more even if you are okay. Go back and rest. Your mother and I are here, so we don't need your help. I will call you when it is time for dinner." Wang Cuihua hurried Yi Ke to rest.
"Okay, I'll go find Ziyi to play." Yike had to go out reluctantly. She originally wanted to come forward to listen to some gossip.
"It's been a long time since you heard this news. There is such a thing. I heard from my family's head that those people who exchanged children for food were former bandits, so they dared to do such a thing," Zhang Yuling whispered to Wang Cuihua about the rumors outside.
