"Mommy, hurry up and catch the fish, or they'll get away!~" Little Xi Tian said with a sweet smile.
At this moment, she was holding a big carp weighing five or six catties, clumsily throwing it onto the shore...
"Alright, alright, catching fish!"
Gu Shi started catching fish with a net. Anything that got into the net was thrown onto the shore by her.
Once the fish were out of the water, they would wiggle for a bit and then die.
Gu Shi hadn't expected her little daughter to attract so many big fish, so she had only brought one bamboo basket...
This basket couldn't hold much, so Gu Shi planned to borrow a cart from the fishermen to push the fish back.
With their limited strength, the mother and daughter were soon panting and exhausted after splashing around in the water for a while.
"Daughter... Daughter, let's... let's go ashore and rest for a bit!~" Gu Shi wiped the sweat from her face and carried her daughter to the shore.
Looking at the dozens of big carp on the lakeshore, she didn't know what to say.
Alas, her little daughter knew that the family was having a housewarming banquet, so she wanted to catch some fish to eat.
Who could compare to this kind gesture?
"Daughter, are you tired?" Gu Shi asked Little Xi Tian as she picked up the fish.
"Mommy, I'm not tired!~" Little Xi Tian casually took out two large pink peaches. "Mommy, eat peaches...~"
It was only in front of her mother that she was willing to take things out without restraint.
Gu Shi stood there frozen. Little Xi Tian thought she didn't want to eat the peaches and started searching in the space again.
Oh dear, the watermelon patch had dried up, and there weren't many melons left.
For such a long time, she hadn't paid much attention to the crops in the space...
On the other hand, the animals like donkeys, horses, cattle, sheep, and deer on the hillside were all growing exceptionally well.
She thought everything in the base was everlasting.
Little did she know that anything required careful attention and cultivation...
It seemed she needed to spend more time in the space from now on and couldn't take things out without restraint.
Otherwise, she would eventually run out of resources!~
Little Xi Tian wandered around the space and saw a cherry tree laden with large, plump cherries.
They were red and full, and eating them would surely be satisfying...
She casually picked a basketful and gave it to Gu Shi. "Mommy, eat cherries! They're so fresh!~"
Seeing this, Gu Shi's nose twitched, and she hugged her daughter, sobbing.
"Wuwu, daughter... daughter, what good deeds did I accumulate in my past life to have given birth to such an understanding daughter, wuwu!"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Mommy, don't cry!
She patted Gu Shi's back like a little adult. "Mommy, if you cry, I'll want to cry too, wuwu!~"
"Mommy won't cry, Mommy will eat cherries!" Gu Shi stopped crying and smiled.
She washed the cherries by the lake, pulled her daughter to sit in the shade, and slowly ate them...
The mother and daughter ate cherries while looking at the vast, rippling Gou Gou Lake, neither of them speaking.
If Liu Cui Rong saw these cherries, she would have snatched them all.
Even if she got beaten, she would have been willing.
This kind of fruit was extremely precious. There were no cherry trees in Dashui Village, nor in the county town or prefecture town...
If official ladies or rich young ladies wanted to eat them, they had to buy them from other places.
But by the time they reached Heyang County, the cherries would be wilted, their texture and taste would be off.
Gu Shi couldn't remember the last time she had eaten cherries...
"They're so sweet!~" Gu Shi rubbed her daughter's head, smiling like a young girl.
Fish alone wasn't enough, so Little Xi Tian caught a sheep from the space.
'Fish' and 'sheep' together make the character 'fresh'.
The Yun family would be lively again tonight.
"Baa, baa...~"
A fat and strong sheep thrashed by the water.
"Mom, look, there's a sheep!~" Little Xi Tian said with a smile.
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment. "This, this is whose sheep fell into the water?"
There didn't seem to be such a fat and strong sheep in the village~!
Little Xi Tian couldn't help but laugh. "Mommy, since we found it, this sheep belongs to us. It would be a pity if someone else took it...~"
She remembered that during the drought, when she went to the lake with her elder brother to fetch water, they had caught a sheep in the same spot.
During their stay at Fu Da Qiang's house, the family hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
It was a good opportunity to hold a feast for the whole family and the villagers with mutton during the move.
"Daughter, don't come over, okay? Mommy will catch the sheep!~" Gu Shi put down the basket and trotted over.
Little Xi Tian smiled.
Mommy, sheep can swim, they won't drown.
Gu Shi plunged into the water and grabbed the sheep's horns, leading the sheep ashore.
"This one is really big...~" Gu Shi's eyes disappeared as she smiled. "Daughter, let's go home!~"
"Mm-hmm!"
Gu Shi borrowed a cart from the fishermen, pushed the fresh big fish, and led her daughter and the sheep back to the village.
By the afternoon, the men had finished moving all the belongings stored at Fu Da Qiang's house.
Sister Su Zhen and Sister Zhang were busy tidying up the house, sweeping and wiping...
Zhao Gui Hua brought tea and water with Xi'er and Huai Hua. Corn was being steamed in the pot, and anyone who was hungry could grab a cob to gnaw on.
Yun Jin Shan and Yun Jin He were sweeping the yard with brooms, while Chen Xiao Ran clung to Yun Jin He like a shadow, impossible to chase away...
"Xiao Ran, are you not planning to go home?" Yun Jin Shan threw her a broom. "If you're not going home, you have to work!~"
Chen Xiao Ran rolled her eyes at him and moved closer to Yun Jin He. "Brother Jin He, can I live here forever?~"
Going home is so boring. Dashui Village is the most interesting place!~
Yun Jin He said, "I can't decide this. You have to ask your parents and my grandparents if they agree...~"
This girl was, after all, the daughter of Prefect Chen, so how could she grow up in a rural village?
Chen Xiao Ran bypassed the question and continued, "Brother Jin He, have you ever thought about getting married?~"
"Pfft...~" Yun Jin Shan, who was drinking water, spat it out and teased, "Sister, are you interested in my elder brother?~"
"Don't worry, I agree to this marriage. You two should get engaged tomorrow, and get married and have children as soon as you grow up!~"
Elder brother is truly blessed to be fancied by the Prefect's daughter. His future career would surely be smooth sailing...
Reaching the pinnacle of life, repaying the elders and villagers, hehe.
"Dong!~" Yun Jin He hit his forehead and reprimanded, "Jin Shan, don't talk nonsense!~"
Xiao Ran is only eight years old, and he is fifteen. Is this possible?
Besides, even if Xiao Ran were his age, he wouldn't dare to covet the Prefect's daughter...
Chen Xiao Ran lowered her head aggrievedly, about to cry, when a burst of laughter came from outside the door.
