Chapter 29 Another Bountiful Harvest
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Yang Hualing lived at Xiaoyue's house.
After washing up, Yang Hualing transformed completely, no longer the dirty woman she once was, but now resembling a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
Although the clothes she was wearing were coarse cloth garments that Xiaoyue and her mother had made together over the past few days, they couldn't hide the charm she exuded.
Yun Dan was called to Xiao Yue's house again today because she wanted Yun Dan to help check if Yang Hua Ling's illness was really cured.
"Little girl, come quick, let Sister Yang take a look and see if you're really completely healed."
"I already told you, okay, okay, why are you still not reassured? Would I lie to you?" Yun Dan said helplessly to Xiao Yue.
What can Yun Dan do? Xiao Yue is her best friend, after all.
There was no other way, so I took Yang Hualing's pulse again. Except for the fact that she had no pulse and could not speak, all her other symptoms had disappeared.
Aside from not being able to cultivate internal energy, living for several more decades would be no problem at all.
After Yun Dan put her hand down, she asked:
"Sister Yang, you have nowhere to go now. What are your plans for the future? Will you stay in Sujia Village and live on your own?"
When Yang Hualing heard Yun Dan's question, she followed up with her answer.
"Yes, Brother Su and Sister Su have discussed it with me. Xiaoyue's family is willing to take me in, so I will stay at Xiaoyue's house from now on."
But don't worry, I won't be lazy. I'll help with the farming. Whenever there's work to be done in the village, I'll help out.
When Xiaoyue heard Yang Hualing say that she would stay, she happily said, "Yes, yes, Sister Yang said she would stay in our house and live with us."
My parents have already spoken to the village chief about this. Sister Yang's household registration is still valid, so there's nothing to worry about.
"Alright, we'll leave your congenital symptoms for now and observe them over time. I'll also try to figure out how to treat them."
Yang Hualing was also startled by Yun Dan's words. This little girl is so young, but she has quite the big mouth.
Even Medicine King Valley wouldn't dare say such a thing, this little girl really dares to say it. However, Yang Hualing didn't say anything. Of course, it would be best if she could be cured, but if she couldn't, so be it.
"Little girl, thank you very much."
After that, Xiaoyue and the other two went out together, and the two members of the Su family took Yang Hualing for a walk around the village.
Before long, a group of children saw Yang Hualing and ran over to ask her how she was doing, whether she was fully recovered, and so on.
Yang Hualing was surprised that the people of Sujia Village were so honest and simple. Weren't they afraid that she was a bad person?
However, she was quite moved by the children's clear eyes and their heartfelt concern, care, and love.
In their Phantom Garden, no one would show such feelings; as long as the task was completed, there was no emotion involved.
-
Time flies, and it's harvest time again. Unfortunately, the weather has been uncooperative lately, with continuous light rain, making the elderly in the village anxious.
Yang Hualing has been living in Sujia Village for three months.
Over the past three months, Yang Hualing has become part of the warm and welcoming atmosphere of Sujia Village.
In the morning, I went to the fields with Xiaoyue's mother, and in the afternoon, I went to make soap.
The men in the village used to burn charcoal every two days. The charcoal now has been upgraded, and a simple charcoal kiln has been built.
Also, the production of toilet paper has been temporarily suspended for the past two weeks. In Yun Dan's words, enough is enough; we can't cause too much damage to the trees in the mountains.
We're not making money off toilet paper, so there's no need to waste wood.
Charcoal requires trees, toilet paper requires trees, and soap also requires trees.
In the past few months, she has already caused a lot of trouble. If this continues, Yun Dan is afraid she will be struck by lightning.
Don't tell me there's still a large area in the mountains, but Yun Dan also knows she needs to protect the environment.
The sun was shining brightly when we woke up early that morning; it was a beautiful day. The adults in the village had been worried for days, fearing that the weather would damage the rice.
Rice is the village's hope. It doesn't matter if we don't have charcoal or soap, but we can't do without food.
Yang Hualing followed the Su family to the fields and joined the rice harvesting team.
She deftly wielded her sickle, skillfully harvesting the golden grains of rice.
Sweat soaked her clothes, but her eyes were firm and focused, as if she had forgotten all her fatigue and hardship.
Having followed the Empress since childhood, she knew that what the Empress cared about most was the farmers' harvest. Every year during the harvest season, the Empress would require local officials to track the progress in various places, for fear that the people below would suffer.
The villagers watching Yang Hualing work so hard were secretly grateful.
Everyone looked at her with admiration, surprised that such a beautiful girl was there.
She actually went to the fields to harvest rice. Everyone smiled knowingly when they saw how fast she was harvesting and worked alongside her.
One of the aunties smiled and said to her, "Miss Yang, you are so hardworking and kind. Whoever marries you will be very lucky!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Hualing blushed and lowered her head shyly, but her hands continued moving.
She simply replied softly, "You flatter me."
Then he continued to work diligently.
As time passed, the sun gradually sank in the west, casting a golden afterglow.
Yang Hualing looked up at the sunset on the horizon, feeling the gentle breeze caressing her cheeks.
She took a deep breath, enjoying the tranquility and beauty that nature brought her.
After a busy day, the harvest season has finally begun.
Looking at the golden rice fields, the villagers' faces beamed with the joy of harvest.
They laughed and chatted, celebrating the fruits of their hard work.
Yang Hualing stood in the middle of the rice paddy, feeling the joy and a sense of accomplishment.
She knew that these rice grains were not just food, but also the result of everyone's joint efforts.
As night fell, stars twinkled in the sky. Yang Hualing returned home with the Su family and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
As she tasted the grains she had planted and harvested herself, a warm sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.
She realized that she had unknowingly become a warm family here, a place full of love and care.
For a fleeting moment, she felt that this kind of life was quite wonderful, but unfortunately, the world was about to descend into turmoil again.
After dinner, Yang Hualing lay in bed, recalling the events of the day.
She remembered what her aunt had said and couldn't help but smile. She knew that her heart had settled down and she was willing to settle down and live here.
Although I know it's impossible, I still yearn for it.
Despite the many difficulties and challenges ahead, she believes that with love and care, everything will become better.
Gradually, Yang Hualing drifted into a sweet dream, filled with golden rice fields and warm smiles.
The busy work in Sujia Village lasted for more than ten days. All the rice in the village was harvested. The sun in the sky seemed to know how hard the farmers had worked, and the weather was very good these past few days.
The fields were dried and ground, and the soil was turned over. Since the lower-grade fields were developed by Yundan at the beginning of the year, they have become fertile, and the whole Sujia Village cherishes them.
When Yang Hualing saw the villagers digging up the perfectly good low-grade farmland into a huge pit, she angrily said to them, "What are you doing? Why are you digging up the fields like this?"
"Hua Ling, we plan to make these fields more fertile so that next year's rice harvest will be even more abundant."
Yang Hualing was quite surprised when she heard the villagers say that the fields could become more fertile.
Are you sure these inferior fields can become more fertile?
"Of course! Didn't you see that the amount of millet grown from those inferior fields this year is almost catching up with that from the medium-grade fields? That's all thanks to Xiaoya!"
When Yang Hualing heard that it was Yun Dan's masterpiece, she continued to watch the villagers' steps, sometimes asking questions when she didn't understand.
After receiving confirmation from the villagers, she hurriedly left. She had to write a letter to the Empress; it was such an important matter that she had to write to the Empress to explain, no matter how risky it was.
Otherwise, if they knew there was such a good way to fertilize the land but didn't announce it, the Empress would surely punish them.
