Chapter 44
44 Ah Yu Has a Piece of Land
Little Ah Yu did not know how the steamed buns came about, but she thought that they were planted directly from the ground.
Therefore, she had to find a piece of land and plant steamed buns.
Wang Wulang did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Steamed buns are not grown. You have to plant wheat first, grind it into powder, and then make it into steamed buns.”
As he spoke, Wang Wulang pointed at a piece of land in front of him and said, “Look, that’s Third Aunt’s family’s land. They got a share of the wheat seeds and planted them yesterday. In a few months, the wheat will grow. When the time comes, we can grind it into powder and make steamed buns and dough dumplings. It’s delicious!”
“Oh, oh, I see.”
Only then did Little Ah Yu remember that she had promised the elf to farm, especially to ask her family for grain seeds, but she had forgotten.
The elf would definitely be very angry.
[I’m used to it.] I’m not angry. What’s there to be angry about? I’m not angry!
Little Ah Yu ran to the place where she had placed the soybean vines previously. Old Madam Wang had planted a few beans there and it had already been a day and a night.
“The beans are growing!” Little Ah Yu pulled Wang Wulang’s hand and let him look at the seedlings under the banana tree.
Originally, the seeds would germinate in about seven days, and the grain seeds would germinate earlier. However, this diluted Myriad Spirit Water had already caused the seeds to grow two leaves. It looked like it had been planted for more than half a month.
Wang Wulang was not interested in this. He did not know when this was planted, so he was not surprised at all.
However, when he looked up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Eh, why has the banana grown so big?”
On the banana tree in front of him, a bunch of bananas were hanging high. There was a large cluster of banana leaves on it, and they had all grown bigger.
Wang Liulang and the others also came over. When they saw the bunch of bananas, they were puzzled. “Two days ago, it seemed to be only a little big.”
Wang Qilang said, “Perhaps you saw wrongly. Otherwise, how could it grow so big in three days?”
Little Ah Yu said softly, “It can.”
Her soybean vines could grow so quickly.
However, no one noticed what she said.
“This is almost ripe, right? Let’s cut it down!”
Banana was not very delicious, but at this time, it was good to have food. They were not picky.
Wang Liulang was greedy and ran home after saying that.
After a while, Wang Chuanman was pulled over by him with a wood ax in his hand.
“I was just about to cut wood. Why did you pull me over?” Wang Chuanman was helpless. Perhaps it was because he was the youngest among the adults, but this group of naughty monkeys always liked to ask him for help.
When he saw the banana tree, Wang Chuanman was stunned.
He did not remember the bananas growing so big.
However, it looked like it was about to fully ripen. Of course, it had to be plucked first. It could be eaten after two days at home.
They did not have any methods to accelerate the ripening, but it did not matter.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Wang Chuanman was strong and cut down the banana tree in three to five moves.
After the banana tree was cut down, it landed on the seedlings. Wang Chuanman did not notice it at all and even stepped on them.
Little Ah Yu opened her mouth, wanting to say that it was planted by Grandma. Grandma would be sad if she knew.
But soon, her attention was attracted.
The group of children surrounded Wang Chuanman and watched him carry the cut bananas.
There was still a banana head in front. Wang Chuanman raised his hand and cut off the head. Seeing Little Ah Yu watching from the side, he handed the banana head to her.
“Ah Yu, catch!”
Little Ah Yu tried her best to close her arms. Because it was too heavy, she could not hold it well and walked unsteadily.
She could not bear to throw it away, so she walked like a drunk bee.
Wang Chuanman laughed loudly.
His daughter was too funny!
“Grandma, our banana is ripe!” It was Wang Wulang’s shout again, causing the old lady’s hands to tremble.
When she walked out, she saw her silly son carrying a large bundle of bananas. The bananas were quite big.
Beside her, Little Ah Yu was holding a purple banana head in her hand. She was clearly a little tired.
“Did you lose your head when you reincarnated and planted a wooden club on your neck? Huh?!” Old Madam Wang took three steps forward and walked in front of everyone. She picked up the banana head in Little Ah Yu’s arms and turned to scold Wang Chuanman. “How can you be a father? Ah Yu is so young. If you let her carry such a heavy thing, she won’t grow taller in the future!”
Wang Chuanman rubbed his nose and begged for mercy.
The banana head was very heavy. One could see flowers on every piece. Those flowers could be used to stir-fry and be considered a dish.
As Old Madam Wang handed the banana head to Madam Feng, who had come after hearing the news, she asked Wang Chuanman, “Where did you cut it?”
There were banana trees planted in a few places in their family. Those things grew very easily. If they planted one, they could harvest a lot of bananas the next year.
“Isn’t it behind the house-” Wang Chuan was confused.
Halfway through her sentence, Old Madam Wang’s expression changed. “Oh no!”
She walked to the banana bush and took a look. The fallen banana tree had covered the place where she had planted the beans tightly. The bucket was also gone.
Old Madam Wang lifted the banana leaf a little and saw a seedling that had already grown very well and a footprint that was firmly stepped on.
Old Madam Wang’s pupils constricted, and then she felt her anger soar to her head.
“Wang! Chuan! Man!” Old Madam Wang gritted her teeth. She wished she could beat up that stupid son!
Little Ah Yu also rushed over. When she saw the angry Old Madam Wang, she was not afraid at all. She even hooked Old Madam Wang’s fingers with her hand.
“Grandma, don’t be angry.” Little Ah Yu comforted her.
“Look at what your father has done!” Old Madam Wang was furious. Was this dog of a son deliberately trying to anger her?!
“I still have more.” Little Ah Yu stuck out her stomach and patted her little bag. Her eyes curved. “There’s still beans in the bag.”
She stretched out her finger again, about to perform a distance watering. “And this-”
Old Madam Wang knew what she wanted to do and immediately held her hand. Her gentle expression changed freely. “Good child, keep this for now. Don’t use it for now.”
After living for half her life, Old Madam Wang already knew that nothing in this world was easy.
The more precious the item, the rarer it was. The rarer the item, the easier it was to lose it.
Little Ah Yu was puzzled.
“Ah Yu, you have to remember not to let others know that you have this thing. Otherwise, others will come and snatch it away.” Old Madam Wang took the opportunity to educate her.
Little Ah Yu blinked and shook her head very honestly. “It can’t be snatched away. It’s with the elf and cannot be found by others.”
“They can’t snatch your things away, but you can snatch people away. Perhaps bad people will find out and snatch you away. You won’t be able to return home in the future.” Old Madam Wang didn’t think that there was a need to teach Little Ah Yu this at such a young age.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes widened in fear.
How terrifying!
“Grandma, I don’t want to be unable to go home. I don’t want to!” She really liked this family.
Her nose instantly turned sour. She hugged Old Madam Wang’s hand and said, “Grandma, I won’t tell anyone. I’ll only tell you.”
“Alright, just tell Grandma.”
Old Madam Wang wanted to scare Little Ah Yu. Seeing that she was really frightened, she could not bear to continue speaking and hugged her to comfort her.
After comforting her, Little Ah Yu asked carefully, “Grandma, if I’m lost, will you look for me?”
Before Old Madam Wang could answer, she said in an even softer voice, “I know. The adults are very busy. I… I’ll find my way home myself. Remember to wait for me.”
Old Madam Wang had a complicated expression.
Forget it, the child was still young. She would teach her slowly.
Wang Chuanman had stomped half of the seedlings to death and was punished by Old Madam Wang to eat half a bowl of rice less. His expression was bitter. He did not even eat the rice at the dining table. Instead, he counted the grains one by one.
For the rest of the day, Wang Chuanman was not in good spirits.
“Husband, what’s wrong?” In the afternoon, Liu Shi pulled Wang Chuanman into the room and asked with concern.
The room was small and there was no chair. Wang Chuanman sat by the bed and told her about accidentally stepping on the seedlings.
Liu Shi thought that the seeds planted beside the house were not very good. They were probably random seeds found outside.
“That was planted by Ah Yu,” Wang Chuanman added.
“Dong!” Wang Chuanman fell off the bed and looked at his wife in shock.
“Go out and reflect!” Liu Shi was furious.
How dare he step on the seedlings planted by her daughter!
Wang Chuanman: …
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was busy in the spatial pocket because not only did she have the beans given by the villagers, but she also had a handful of barley seeds given to her by Grandma.
Grandma’s seedlings had been trampled. She wanted to plant more seedlings for Grandma.
[Stop working. I’ll do it.] Meatball wanted to train Little Ah Yu, but its heart ached when it saw her huffing and digging.
The soil in the Myriad Spirit Space contained spiritual qi. If the spirit water was poured on it, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
As long as the seeds were not dead, they could grow very well here.
Little Ah Yu scattered a handful of barley seeds and grabbed the beans from her bag, throwing them all on the Myriad Spirit Soil.
[Ahhh, a seed is about to be upgraded!]
