Old Master Li looked in the direction of the sound and found his little granddaughter standing on the edge of the field. He immediately handed the curved plow in his hand to Li Wenshan, who was hoeing the field nearby: "Girl called me, you come and hold the plow!"
Mr. Li walked over to his granddaughter in two or three steps. "Are you working? What's the urgent matter?"
Li Yan didn't mention the pond digging first. She smiled and poured a bowl of sugar water she brought from home and handed it to Mr. Li: "Grandpa, you've worked hard in the fields. Have a bowl of sugar water to relieve your fatigue!"
Grandpa Li took the sugar water handed to him by his granddaughter and drank it all in one gulp: "Okay, I don't know you yet. If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly. I still have to be busy plowing the fields!"
Li Yan did not hesitate and repeated to Grandpa Li what she had said to her parents last night: "Grandpa, my parents have agreed. You should clear out the four or five acres of wasteland in the middle. I want to use it to dig a big pond!" After that, she pointed to the wasteland in the middle.
Old man Li looked in the direction of his granddaughter's finger and was reluctant to waste such a large piece of land!
Old Master Li frowned and said, "Is it necessary to dig such a big pond? It takes so much space!" Digging such a big pond and wasting so much land made Old Master Li very sad!
Seeing that Mr. Li did not object to her intercropping, but was distressed about the wasted space, Li Yan thought for a moment and then leaned close to Mr. Li's ear and whispered something.
The old man was originally feeling a little distressed, but after being fooled by his granddaughter, he immediately threw all his worries to the wind and said in surprise, "Is it really as you said?"
Li Yan puffed out her chest confidently: "Master, when have I ever lied to you?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li smiled and said to Li Yan, "Okay, I'll go talk to everyone now and ask them to vacate the middle piece of land!"
Looking at her grandfather's back as he trotted away, Li Yan felt amused. Now she understood what Grandpa Li was thinking!
The harvest from growing medicinal herbs is real money. As long as this pond can be monetized in the future, it will not be a problem to capture his grandfather.
Li Yan watched as Grandpa pointed at the wasteland in the middle and gestured to everyone. Then he walked over to Li Yan and said, "I've already told the plowmen to leave the middle piece empty. But everyone is busy with spring planting right now, so there's no one to help you dig the pond!"
Li Yan waved her hand nonchalantly, "Grandpa, I'm just telling you to save you some wasted effort. As for those fields a little further out, you'll have to trouble your uncles to fetch water and irrigate them first!"
"Okay, if there's no rush, I'll go get busy first!" After saying that, he was about to leave but was stopped by Li Yan.
"Kid, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't delay my work!" When it comes to plowing and harrowing the fields and doing farm work, Grandpa Li is very clear about it.
"Still about digging the pond. I have a little idea and I'd like to hear your opinion!"
Li Yan immediately spoke out her idea: "I want to dig a ditch from the foot of the mountain to the big pond. That way, there's always plenty of water in the pond, and we just need to block the ditch! If the pond dries up, there'll still be water flowing in. What do you think?"
After hearing his granddaughter's words, Mr. Li patted Li Yan's head with a smile on his face: "Girl, you may not be very old, but you have a very sound mind. Let's do as you say!"
After talking about digging the pond, Li Yan returned home.
Lin came out of the kitchen and handed the bowl to Li Yan, saying angrily: "You child, what are you so anxious about? You didn't even eat breakfast and ran down the mountain!"
Li Yan took the food her mother handed over and said, "Mom, I just went to talk to Grandpa about digging the pond first. If I'm late, they'll turn the soil over, and it will be a waste of effort!"
Mrs. Lin also felt sorry for her daughter. Since the spring plowing, her daughter has been running to the fields every day. She looks much darker and thinner!
Lin said distressedly, "Yan'er, our family has some savings now. I don't want you to work too hard. I don't ask for great wealth, I just hope you can live a comfortable and peaceful life!"
Li Yanhui held her mother's hand and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Mom, I don't feel tired at all. Being so busy makes me feel at ease!"
In fact, when Li Yan traveled to this world, she was actually always worried. In ancient times, there were wars every now and then, crops grew by chance, and the court was subject to sudden changes!
Li Yan has no control over all of this. The only thing she can do now is to make good use of the resources at her disposal!
