80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 109, The Heart of Bagua (please vote for recommendation)

 “It’s not cold, it’s just right.” It’s only September, how cold it will be.

“Okay, grandma is going to cook, and you can go wash your face.”

The two of them live a comfortable life, which is what Mei Xue has always wanted. Now that the rice in the fields has been taken back to the granary, the vegetables in the fields will probably grow a lot more when it rains. Mei Xue plans to wait until the rain stops to see them. Take a look.

 After breakfast, because she had nothing to do, Mei Xue pestered her grandma to tell some stories about the past.

Of course, under her hypnosis, she deliberately downplayed everything related to grandma herself.

 Listen to stories, eat snacks, don’t have a wonderful little life.

It rained for three days this time, and it wasn’t until the fourth day that the eyes finally opened, and everyone walked out of the house and wandered around.

An Wen came to find Mei Xue early in the morning, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Mei Xue was discussing with her grandma what to do when her eyes were wide open, when she heard Anwen calling her from outside.

　　put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked to the yard, "What's wrong, An Wen? What happened?"

"The water has receded. Sister-in-law, let's go pick up fish." The flood came and went away suddenly.

"So fast?" Mei Xue was a little surprised and hurried to the door. Sure enough, the water in the stream was receding, and it was still receding very hard. She didn't know where the source was. She really wanted to take a look if she had time.

"Yes, sister-in-law, hurry up, or someone else will pick it up." An Wen said anxiously.

Mei Xue didn’t waste any time, and immediately turned around to get ready, bringing buckets with her, and she even took two of them.

"Walk."

Grandma He burst out laughing when she saw how energetic they were, "Xiaoxue, please slow down, but be careful. There are stone knives in the water that have just receded. Be careful and you may cut your feet."

 Yelled at Mei Xue’s back.

“I know.” Mei Xue responded loudly.

Not to mention, there were quite a lot of people coming to pick up fish. Mei Xue saw that many places by the stream were occupied by people, so she was not in a hurry and pulled Anwen towards the rice fields.

“Let’s go inside, there will definitely be more fish inside.” Mei Xue was excited, how could such a fun thing be without her.

An Wen had the same idea, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go pick it up in your field? Your field is close to a stream. Once the water recedes, there will definitely be a lot of fish."

Mei Xue originally thought like this and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go faster."

 Mei Xue spent the whole morning collecting fish. Unfortunately, no matter how big the fish grew in the stream, they were only the size of two fingers.

 Some of them were even smaller, but she didn’t ask for them. She was so gentle that it didn’t matter. Small fish have their own way of eating. Anyway, the cooking was quite delicious.

 The sister-in-law picked up big fish, and he picked up small fish. Soon the two of them filled the buckets.

“Come on, let’s go back. We’ve almost picked up the fish.” Mei Xue straightened up. It must be said that her waist was a little sore.

Looking at the turbid stream, Mei Xue asked casually: "Anwen, do you know where the source of this stream is?"

An Wen shook his head after hearing this, "I don't know. We looked for it when we were children, but unfortunately we couldn't find it. The creek seems to have gone deep into the mountains, and our parents won't let us go in."

Who didn’t have a dream of treasure hunting when he was a child? Many children in the village have searched for it. Unfortunately, they only reach the place specified by the adults. If they leave again, they will not be able to come back in a hurry.

It's very dangerous in the mountains after dark, no matter how small they are, they still understand this.

 The main reason is that they are afraid that monsters will capture them.

 When I grew up, I knew there were no monsters, but I didn’t dare to spend the night in the mountains.

"That's it." Mei Xue thought thoughtfully, "When will we call Anliang and the others? Let's go find the source and play with it." With such a big water, I don't know what it looks like on the other side of the source.

An Wen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't leave. We come here and there again and again. We will definitely not be able to come back before dark. Plus, the road gets harder as we get further inside."

 “That’s it, let’s talk about it then.” At worst, we just don’t ask them, it’s better to go alone.

 She has space and is not afraid of the dangers of the night.

Even though my abilities are not as strong as those in my previous life, I still have the ability to protect myself.

 As long as there are no monsters.

On the way back, I met many villagers. Everyone looked envious after seeing the fish in Anwen's bucket, let alone the two big buckets of fish in Mei Xue's.

“Anwen, why did you catch so many?” asked an uncle in the village.

They are not the only five groups of fields here. In addition to a few groups on the mountain, there are many four and three groups of fields here in the village.

This person happens to be from the fourth group. Mei Xue doesn't know him. No one in his own group recognizes him, let alone the outsiders.

"Uncle Fanming, we picked it up in my third grandma's field. The field at my third grandma's house is deep in water." An Wen said perfunctorily.

He didn't know the details. Anyway, he only knew that where his sister-in-law was, these fish swam over on their own as if they had found a home.

 He really picked it up.

“Oh, your third aunt, haha, that’s true.” The man felt a little embarrassed, but his field was also here, but there weren’t many fish in it, and the water was very turbid, making it difficult to catch small fish.

“Well, Anwen, is this your third grandma’s daughter-in-law?” Uncle Fan Ming asked.

Mei Xue is also a polite child, "Hello, Uncle Fanming."

“Okay, okay, um, girl, can I go to your house to pick up fish?” Fan Ming was really envious.

Meixue doesn't care. She knows very well why she can pick up fish by herself. Even if she lets others go, they may not be able to pick it up.

 “Okay, Uncle Fan Ming, you can go.” Mei Xue said with a smile.

 “Thank you, thank you.” There was no way, his family’s field was a bit far away from the stream, so even if the water rose, it wouldn’t be flooded much.

It would be nice if there were some fish in it.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Fan Ming, the two of them also hurried home. Passing by those envious people, Mei Xue just didn't reply and left it to An Wen.

Anwen was also a generous person. After explaining, he took his sister-in-law and left quickly.

 After returning home, Grandma He was not at home, she might have gone to watch the fun again.

As soon as the water receded, many people gathered around the stream, gossiping. Grandma He had been imprisoned for a few days, and she couldn't help but wander around the village.

 “Sister-in-law, I’m going home first.”

 “Go.” Mei Xue waved her hand and let Anwen go.

Meixue doesn’t know what to do with these fish. She knows **** them, but there are so many of them. How can she eat them after killing them?

 So, she had to go find her grandma.

Grandma He was chatting with Grandma Jinghua and the others in the creek where everyone usually gathers.

“Last time I heard from his Aunt Meng that Anwen’s marriage was finally settled?” Everyone looked at Grandma He and asked.

Grandma He didn't care much about these, but she nodded in response to everyone.

“Third Aunt, I heard that your family borrowed money from the Anwen family?” He Zhengbei’s daughter-in-law, Aunt Yong, asked with a calculating look on her face.

Grandma He glanced at her and said, "Can't I borrow it?" Her tone was not good.

She doesn't like this niece-in-law, she's annoying.

Don’t forget to vote during the holidays, thanks!
