Chapter 164: One Pay, Double Happiness

"Aunt, how come you suddenly become younger?"

"Mom, what's wrong with you? How come the wrinkles around your eyes disappeared overnight?"

"Yes! This is too magical! Could it be that you can perform magic? It's just like the old witch in Snow White, who used magic to transform into a grown-up girl!"

"Forehead"

Faced with a series of questions from Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia, Xu Yuping didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Not to mention that she is not sure whether she has become younger because of the fierce battle last night. Even if she is sure, she cannot tell Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia!

After hesitating for a while, she finally chose to pretend to be confused.

"Look at what you said. How could I possibly be capable of magic? Maybe it's because I've been eating and sleeping well lately that I've become younger!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Dani nodded innocently and said, "So that's how it is!"

But Zhu Caixia was not so easily fooled.

If she really becomes younger because of eating well and sleeping well, then why didn't she see such a big effect before, but only saw it today?

Therefore, in her opinion, the reason must be related to something that happened last night.

As for what exactly happened, although she couldn't be sure now, she had some guesses in her mind.

This made her feel curious, confused, and a little sour.

Especially when she saw Li Guoqiang push open the door and walk in, she didn't even realize that there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she saw a heartless man.

"Qiangzi, have you finished your boxing practice?"

When Xu Yuping saw Li Guoqiang come in, she hurriedly greeted him, then turned and walked to the washstand to change the cold water for washing her face.

After a while, she handed Li Guoqiang a hot, wet towel.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then reached out to take the towel and wiped his face. Then he took the toothbrush and water cup and stood in front of the washstand to brush his teeth.

Xu Yuping took advantage of this gap to hurriedly bring the prepared breakfast into the inner room.

After Li Guoqiang finished washing up, she was busy helping Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia wash up, just like a little nanny.

Soon after finishing breakfast, Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia immediately ran to the yard to feed the sika deer, while Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng stayed in the house busy making clothes. Only Li Guoqiang lay on the fire pit in the wooden house like an old man, listening to the radio leisurely with a look of carefreeness on his face.

Now, he has sufficient supplies and money, and the development plan he has set cannot be implemented so quickly, so what he has to do next is to enjoy life to the fullest, take care of his little world, and brush up on his skills.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly closed his eyes, put his mind into the small world, and then looked at the poultry and livestock that had been fed for more than half a month. Suddenly he remembered that he had not yet tried out his feeding skills and what the benefits would be.

Is it to reward him with ten times more meat?
Or should we reward him with ten extra poultry and livestock?
As he selected a chick and asked for settlement with Father Jin, the next moment he saw the chick suddenly grew several times bigger like a balloon, leaving him stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that the reward from the feeding skill would be an additional reward of ten times the feeding effect.

In other words, he had originally only fed the chick for 19 days, but after receiving the extra tenfold reward, he instantly fed the chick for 190 more days and turned it into an adult chicken.

This is simply a disguised way of accelerating time!

Moreover, a lot of feed is saved.

While he was surprised, he suddenly thought of something and looked hurriedly at the various grains and vegetables planted on the other side. Then, he impatiently chose a white radish and received an extra tenfold reward.

As a result, the white radish immediately grew from the size of a thumb to the thickness of an adult's calf. Flowers grew on the leaves and fruits were produced.

Obviously, this white radish is completely ripe, even old.

Therefore, if he wants to obtain ripe grains, vegetables, fruits, poultry and livestock in the future, he must calculate the growth period of various animals and plants.

Although it is a little troublesome, compared with the rich harvest, this little trouble is nothing.

Originally, he was a little worried that the area of ​​the small world might not be enough in the future. Now with such powerful time acceleration, he doesn’t have to worry about this problem anymore.

Moreover, there is another benefit in this, that is, during his lifetime, he may be able to grow thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, thousand-year-old tea trees, thousand-year-old fruit trees, etc.

In addition, according to Jin Dad's explanation, when he raises livestock and poultry, if they lay eggs and give birth to chicks, he can get an extra ten times the number of eggs and chicks.

It’s like giving once and getting double the happiness, which is really awesome.

In this way, perhaps it won't be long before he really doesn't have to worry about food and drink.

However, the most important task now is to arrange the dates for receiving rewards for the things planted and raised in the small world, so as to avoid accidentally missing the best harvest period.

由于种类也不是很多，没过多久，他便做好了登记，然后把能够刷的奖励，全都给刷了，最终收获了100多斤土豆、100多斤地瓜、100多斤苞米、20多斤麦子、20多斤大米、3斤多花生、2斤多芝麻、1斤多各类豆子、成年鸡鸭鹅各2只、两头200来斤的大猪、还有500多斤各类蔬菜瓜果和三两多各类蔬菜种子。

Although many of these vegetables, fruits and melons are overripe and not very tasty, they can still be used to feed poultry and livestock, and it cannot be considered a waste.

As for his own consumption, he has reserved a small portion to allow it to continue growing naturally.

Then, he placed corn, wheat, rice, peanuts, sesame seeds, beans, vegetable seeds and other things in the yard of his private villa to dry, saving them for use as seeds in the future.

He did not take care of the poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and goats. He let them stay in the shed and continue to grow naturally. He could slaughter them and eat them immediately when he wanted to eat them, and he could also get rewards such as eggs and chicks.

After finishing these chores, he immediately planted some of the remaining vegetable, fruit and melon seeds and marked them accordingly.

In this way, vegetables and fruits with a relatively short growing period, such as cabbage, leeks, and radishes, will only take seven or eight days to reach the mature stage by brushing rewards.

At that time, he can use the expanded area to plant the next batch of grains, vegetables, fruits and melons, and achieve seamless connection.

This will not only completely solve the problem of feed for poultry and livestock, but also completely realize the freedom of vegetables and fruits, so that he can eat the freshest vegetables and fruits at any time no matter where he is.

The only more troublesome problem is the seeds, because generally speaking, naturally produced seeds will have a certain degree of degeneration and decline in both yield and quality.

Therefore, if he wants to keep the species planted and raised in his small world at the highest quality, he has to purchase the latest varieties from outside from time to time. Or, he can also learn breeding techniques and try to cultivate some higher-quality varieties himself.

In the busyness, more than an hour passed quickly.

Just as he was wondering whether he should take some time to go to Fenghuang Ridge to find Guan Changsheng and Zhou Xiaoyu to collect the money from selling wild boars, and by the way, check out the wolf kilns and traps to see if there were any gains, he suddenly heard a dog barking outside the house.

Then, Zhu Caixia ran in hurriedly with a look of fear on her face.

"Brother Qiangzi, Brother Qiangzi, Auntie and Sister Yanzi have come to our house. Are they trying to take us back?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly spoke to comfort them: "With me here, they dare not do anything reckless."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and walked out with Zhu Caixia.

"Sister-in-law, Yan Zi and I came to see you. This is a little token of our appreciation."

When Zhao Chunhua saw that the big yellow dog with a ferocious expression was stopped by Xu Yuping, she felt a little relieved. Then she quickly put on a smile, greeted Xu Yuping, and did not forget to hand over the five kilograms of corn in her hand.

"no need!"

Xu Yuping glanced at the bag of corn, then waved her hand and said indifferently: "I can't afford your things. If you have something to say, please tell me. If not, please go back!"

"Forehead"

Zhao Chunhua looked at Xu Yuping's face, which had become much younger and tougher. She was slightly stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "Sister-in-law, we were wrong in the previous matter. I apologize to you here first. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with me so much."

"No matter what, you are my dear sister-in-law and Xiaoyan's dear aunt. It's not easy for you to come here, you have to let us in to have a drink of water!"

After saying that, she nudged Zhu Caiyan who was standing next to her with her elbow, signaling Zhu Caiyan to help say something.

Seeing this, Zhu Caiyan hurriedly shouted, "Auntie, we came here from home early this morning before daybreak, and it took us several hours to get here. Please let us in and rest for a while!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuping glanced at Zhu Caiyan, whose face was a little pale from the cold. Thinking of how this girl had helped them a lot in the past, she couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity.

So, she hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay! Then you can come into the house with me, get on the kang, and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

"Great!"

Zhao Chunhua was delighted, and then she smiled and praised: "I knew that you have the best heart, sister-in-law, and you will definitely not let us come here in vain!"

After saying that, she was about to follow into the house, but when she turned around, she saw Qu Yinfeng, Xu Dani, Li Guoqiang and Zhu Caixia walking out of the adobe house and the wooden house respectively. She couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on her face.

She originally thought that Xu Yuping and Li Guoqiang were secretly together, but she didn't expect that they actually lived in the same yard openly.

What exactly is going on?

Have they already done it?

Before Zhao Chunhua could figure out the problem, Qu Yinfeng quickly walked over and said with a sullen face, "What are you doing here? Get out of here right now. You are not welcome in our home."

Since Zhao Chunhua was already married to Zhu Gui when Xu Yuping got married, Qu Yinfeng knew Zhao Chunhua.

Zhao Chunhua also knew Qu Yinfeng, so she didn't dare to refute at all. She could only look at Xu Yuping for help.

Seeing this, Xu Yuping was about to say something to help, but suddenly she remembered something and quickly turned her head to look at Li Guoqiang.

Although she was willing to let Zhao Chunhua and Zhu Caiyan go into the house to rest for a while because Zhu Caiyan had helped them in the past, she did not forget who was in charge of the family now.

In addition, Zhao Chunhua had scolded Li Guoqiang before, so she naturally didn't dare to act on her own now, for fear of making Li Guoqiang angry.

Li Guoqiang didn't think much about this, because when he saw Zhao Chunhua and Zhu Caiyan, mother and daughter, he immediately guessed that they were here to seek help, so he didn't mind letting Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia take this opportunity to vent their anger.

So he immediately gave Xu Yuping a look and told her to just go ahead and do it.

Seeing his attitude, Xu Yuping felt a little relieved, then hurriedly leaned close to Qu Yinfeng's ear and whispered a few words.

"Fine!"

After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng looked at Zhu Caiyan with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Then you should be careful and don't tell anyone anything."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuping nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Don't worry! I know what's going on!"

After saying that, she took Zhao Chunhua and Zhu Caiyan into the house.

Zhao Chunhua looked around as she walked, and her attention was soon attracted by two new quilts placed on the fire pit.

Isn’t it said that Xu Yuping’s family owes a huge foreign debt?

How can I have money to make a new quilt?

Moreover, if she was not mistaken, the animal kept in the shed in the yard should be a red deer!

Could it be that the sika deer also belongs to Xu Yuping’s mother?

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Xu Yuping with some doubt.

"Come, have a drink of water first!"

When Xu Yuping saw that the cotton and cloth were put away by Qu Yinfeng, her expression relaxed slightly. She then took the thermos and poured a bowl of boiling water for Zhao Chunhua and Zhu Caiyan respectively.

"Hey!"

Zhao Chunhua nodded in agreement, and then tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, I just saw a red deer in the shed in the corner of the yard. Is that red deer yours?"

"Also, who is that young man to you? Why is he living in the same yard with you?"
