The mother and daughter sat for a while and then took the morning commuter bus back to the military family compound. As soon as Bai Shuixian arrived home, she helped to pull weeds and water the vegetables, and also filled the water tank at home.
Gong Linglong cooked braised pork at noon, stewed some pork ribs and potato soup, and stir-fried some cabbage with vinegar. The mother and daughter had a sumptuous meal.
After dinner, Bai Shuixian washed the dishes and hurried to the space to help her with the work.
After not entering the space for a week, Bai Shuixian saw that the pigs were growing fatter and plumper than last week, and all the chicks had hatched. The space had also increased by more than half. She was very happy: "Linglong, I'm not at home, and it must be hard for you to take care of such a large space by yourself. After these pigs are slaughtered, you can feed fewer next time."
"Mom, if there are any piglets, you should continue to feed them. It feels so fulfilling to watch them grow up day by day."
Gong Linglong is the owner of this ancient bracelet. She can use her mind to control planting and harvesting. It is not hard, but it does take some time every day.
The most important thing is that I built up the space bit by bit. There are more and more species in it, and the plants and animals are becoming more and more complete. It is like I created a work by myself, and then spent countless thoughts and efforts to polish it carefully to make it perfect.
From having nothing to owning a complete food chain and turning it into an ecological world very similar to the outside world, this sense of accomplishment cannot be described in words.
Seeing that she liked to take care of the space, Bai Shuixian smiled gently: "Okay, feed it if you want, but don't tire yourself out."
After the mother and daughter finished their work in the space, they went to the river together again. They were in a hurry to go to the city this morning and had not had time to take the fish cage from the river.
"Huzi, did you catch anything?"
Hu Zi’s biggest hobby is fishing. He didn’t go out to play with other friends in the afternoon. Instead, he sat by the river with his sister to fish.
When the brother and sister saw their elders, they politely called out, "Grandma Bai, I caught two, a crucian carp and a black carp."
"Not bad."
Bai Shuixian looked at the fish in the barrel. They were quite large, and could be eaten either braised or fried. She took out two hawthorn candies from her pocket and gave them to them. "Huzi, Lanzi, these are for you."
"Thank you, grandma."
Lan Zi, who was five or six years old, loved to eat candy. Hawthorn candy was something they had never eaten before, so the brother and sister each took a piece and ate it happily.
Gong Linglong's fish cage was placed nearby. She quickly took it out, put some new bait in it, put the fish cage back in its original place, and then went back with her mother carrying the bucket to clean up.
Before reaching the gate of the family compound, Gong Linglong spotted Xu Wei's fake cousin. He rode a bicycle with two other men beside him. The three of them looked nonchalant. She curled her lips slightly, "It seems he doesn't know Xu Wei has been arrested."
"Linglong, what are you saying?" Bai Shuixian didn't hear her clearly.
Gong Linglong lied naturally, "Mom, I was talking about Hu Zi and Lan Zi's names. I've been in the family compound for half a month and I almost forgot to ask their names."
Bai Shuixian didn't know about this either, and she didn't ask. She smiled faintly and said, "You can ask the brother and sister later."
Gong Linglong nodded. Seeing that the three people were very close, she deliberately asked, "Mom, I've never asked about the origin of my name. When you named me Gong Linglong, did it have any special meaning?"
Gong Linglong?
Both mother and daughter were very good-looking. The three fake cousins were looking at them. When her name was mentioned, the expression on the fake cousin's face changed obviously, and the three of them stepped on the brakes almost at the same time.
Bai Shuixian glanced at the three of them casually, treating them as just passers-by, and replied, "When you were born, you were fair and clean, with clear and bright eyes, and your little ball was cute and lovely, so I named you Linglong."
"Oh, so that's how I got my name. Gong Linglong sounds pretty nice. Thanks to my educated mother. If that bastard had named me, I might have been something like Plum Blossom, Apricot Blossom, Orchid, or Cuihua."
Bai Shuixian smiled and patted her, but didn't respond. Instead, she said, "Let's go back and clean up the fish, have dinner early, and I'll go watch you rehearse the show tonight."
"OK."
Gong Linglong took her arm as they walked, not looking at the three people who had stopped behind them. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Mom, I'm going to perform a classical dance for you tonight. When the art performance comes, Sister Yu Miao and I are going to make a stunning debut and outshine Meng Xiaoying and Xu Wei. We're going to give them a slap in the face so they won't dare to meddle in other people's business again."
After they walked away, the man next to the fake cousin whispered, "Boss, the person you are looking for should be this woman, right?"
"It should be her."
The fake cousin had just seen Gong Linglong's appearance. He really didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman among the military wives. If she hadn't given the order, he would have had some other ideas.
"Boss, there are two kids fishing by the river. I'll go find them and ask for confirmation." Another one said.
"Okay, go ahead." The fake cousin waved at him.
Not long after, the person who was asking for information came back and said, "Boss, those two kids said they don't know her. Let's ask someone else."
As soon as the three of them rode away on their bicycles, Hu Zi immediately pulled Lan Zi back to the family compound. When they reached the door, he said, "Aunt Gong, there are three men outside asking about you. I don't think they look like good people. They look more like thugs and second-rate guys out there."
"Three men?" Bai Narcissus frowned.
"Well, they were riding bicycles and are leaving now." Hu Zi pointed in the direction.
Seeing Hu Zi's cleverness, Gong Linglong's eyes flashed with admiration and asked him, "Hu Zi, how do you know they are hooligans?"
"They are completely different from soldiers. They have no integrity at all and are just like the scoundrels in our hometown county." Hu Zi is smart and clever. Political Commissar Zhao has taught him a lot, and he has a good eye for people.
"I only know people in the family compound. I don't have any male relatives at home. I don't know them. They came here to inquire about me. I guess they have bad intentions." Gong Linglong said.
"He's definitely not a good person."
Bai Shuixian frowned and immediately warned her, "Linglong, try not to go to the river alone in the future. Go with Ximei and the others to set up the fish cages in the morning. Don't go out alone."
"good."
In order not to worry her mother, Gong Linglong pretended to be obedient and nodded in agreement, and did not tell her about Xu Wei.
The three fake cousins didn't get any news from Hu Zi, but they got it from other people. They have now confirmed that the beautiful woman they saw before is the one Xu Wei specifically asked to deal with, and they are now discussing the plan outside.
