The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

90 Shock

“Yeah, I know you do.”

Wei Chiyu nodded and spoke to himself, completely ignoring the question whether the Silver Wolf understood human language or not.

“Therefore, I’m still missing a log. Come with me. I’ll leave the hunting mission to you.”

After Wei Chiyu finished speaking, he pulled the little wolf and walked into the forest.

This time, the wolf cub did not bare its teeth at Wei Chiyu. Instead, it obediently followed him into the forest, as if it really understood what he said.

Thus, when Zhou Xiaoli was done with today’s class and was about to rest, she found Wei Chiyu busy in the courtyard.

The wolf pup followed beside him with a rope hanging from its mouth. It circled around Wei Chiyu as if it was helping him with work.

Zhou Xiaoli was very uncertain.

“Wei Chiyu, what are you doing?” Zhou Xiaoli walked over as she spoke. She looked at the wooden frame that had yet to take shape and guessed, “This is a swing?”

Seeing Zhou Xiaoli walk over, the Silver Wolf immediately threw away the rope in its mouth. With a howl, it hopped over to Zhou Xiaoli’s side.

He even showed off the prey he had hunted to Zhou Xiaoli.

Zhou Xiaoli smiled and patted its head. “Little Wolf, did you hunt this?”

“Howl.”

The wolf cub gave a short howl and rubbed its head against Zhou Xiaoli’s palm, as if responding to her words.

“Haha, Little Wolf, you’re awesome.” Zhou Xiaoli praised the Silver Wolf with a smile. She could not wait to see what Wei Chiyu had built.

Zhou Xiaoli was sure that it was the swing after seeing the initial appearance of the wooden frame. She exclaimed in surprise, “It’s a swing!”

Wei Chiyu nodded and said softly, “Didn’t you say yesterday that Master’s courtyard was empty and wanted to plant some flowers and trees and also a swing?”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded and circled around the shelf, clearly very happy. She waved her hand and called out to her master under the tree.

“Master, look, Junior Brother is putting together a swing.”

After the class ended, Yuan Zhengchun could not wait to sit under the tree and make tea.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s voice, he looked up with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoli ran over and said, “Master, how about we build a trellis next to the swing and plant some grapes?”

Yuan Zhengchun chuckled and said, “As long as you guys are happy. If you want to mess around, go ahead.”

Zhou Xiaoli immediately nodded. “Then let’s plant another peach tree. The peach blossoms will bloom all over the branches, and it will be very beautiful. We can also make peach blossom wine for Master to drink.”

Yuan Zhengchun’s face was full of smiles when he heard that. “Kid, why are you always talking about food?”

Zhou Xiaoli chuckled, “Eating is the most important thing.”

Then, she ran to Wei Chiyu to plan the grape trellis and to discuss where they should plant the peach tree.

Yuan Zhengchun picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and narrowed his eyes in happiness.

The children in the courtyard were very lively while he could sit underneath the tree and drink a cup of good tea.

That’s nice.

“Hey, children, do you want to eat at my place?”

Half an hour later, Yuan Zhengchun suddenly thought of something and asked.

Zhou Xiaoli looked back at Wei Chiyu and nodded. “Sure. I saw that the wolf cub had hunted a pheasant. Today is the first day of the formal apprenticeship. I’ll make my master a good dish.”

Wei Chiyu’s swing was also done, so he said, “I’ll help.”

With that, the two of them entered the kitchen one after another.

Yuan Zhengchun could not help but take a few more glances at the two of them. His junior disciple’s thoughts were plain for all to see.

Doing a charcoal delivery and building a swing.

“Haha, it’s good to be young.”

Yuan Zhengchun sighed with emotion. He held the tea cup and leaned back in his chair. He took a sip of tea and chuckled. “Fortunately, I have tea.”

Zhou Xiaoli stuck her head out of the window and looked at Yuan Zhengchun. She asked curiously, “What is Master talking about?”

Then, she turned around and shouted, “Ah, Wei Chiyu, what are you doing?”

Wei Chiyu, who was covering the pheasant in mud, asked in confusion, “Didn’t you want to make Beggar’s Chicken?”

“Isn’t this the way to make the Beggar’s Chicken dish?” he thought.

Zhou Xiaoli covered her face with her hands. “Oh, no, that’s not what I want to do. I want to pluck the feathers, wash it, and marinate it. Finally, I want to wrap it in lotus leaves before applying mud.”

Wei Chiyu stood there with his hands covered in mud and his face full of innocence. “I’ve always done it in this manner in the past.”

Then, he asked in embarrassment, “Did I hinder you in the cooking?”

Zhou Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, “Do you want me to teach you a new method?”

Wei Chiyu nodded. He thought of something and asked, “Do you need me to call you ‘sister?’”

Zhou Xiaoli felt that the word ‘sister’ had pierced through her heart.

For those who are highly attracted to voice, a pleasant voice is the best weapon of attraction.

Zhou Xiaoli: “Ahem, be normal.”

Wei Chiyu said innocently, “I’m normal.”

Zhou Xiaoli said, “Alright, you don’t have to call me sister. Well, how about this? Help me pick some lotus leaves or banana leaves.”

“Okay.” Wei Chiyu’s eyes revealed a trace of a triumphant smile. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Only then did Zhou Xiaoli heave a sigh of relief. She could not help but press the back of her hand against her face.

Damn it, she was a little koi, but she was flirted with by a kid?

No, no. Zhou Xiaoli shook her head and quickly went back to work.

Wei Chiyu moved quickly, and he returned after a while. He didn’t find any lotus leaf, but he did pick a banana leaf.

Thus, the meal ended with Wei Chiyu’s satisfaction and Yuan Zhengchun’s endless praise.

When she returned home, her family had just finished eating.

On the way up the mountain, Zhou Xiaoli had informed Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu that she might not be coming back for dinner.

Therefore, they were not too worried when she did not return for dinner.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai bought another 240 kilograms of beetroots.

The money was paid by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Xiaoli immediately put it on his tab in the ledger book.

Then, she called Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu into the room and told them about buying the stones.

“When Xue Min saw me, I couldn’t sell the pearls, but our family is short of money now, so I thought about what to do.”

“Then, I saw a stone. For some reason, a voice in my heart asked me to buy it, so I spent 10 taels of silver to buy it.”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yu spat out the water in his mouth.

He stammered, “How much did you spend?”

Zhang Lan also widened her eyes and covered her chest. However, seeing that Zhou Yu was so loud, she immediately pushed him and handed him a cloth to wipe his face. “Why are you so loud? Listen to Li’er first.”

“Cough, cough. That’s right. Continue, Li’er.” Zhou Yu took the towel to wipe his face, but his hands were obviously trembling.

Zhou Xiaoli continued, “After I bought it, I was also worried, so I asked someone to cut it open. Who knew that there would really be jade?”

“The shop owner accepted it directly and gave me 240 taels of silver.”

Zhang Lan had just put down the towel and sat down. When she heard this number, she staggered and almost slipped off the chair.

Zhou Yu, who had just wiped his face clean and taken another sip of water, spat it out again. He said in disbelief, “How much?”
