Chapter Sixteen: Busy

  The little dolls are very mischievous, running back and forth in the team, especially in front of a grandfather dressed as Zhu Bajie, where the most children stop.

  The old man, dressed as Zhu Bajie, still held a sugar gourd in his hand. When he saw the children passing by in front of him, he teased them with the sugar gourd. His big belly couldn't bend down to their level, but the happy kids "giggled" and laughed, lovingly crawling in front of him even more.

  There are also young people who are stilts-walking, with their feet on such high wooden poles, yet walking very steadily, and even dancing to the rhythm of the music, it's really making people nervous. From time to time, children would run past these people's feet, and sharp-eyed adults would loudly scold them, but it didn't affect the kids' good mood at all.

  Song Jie had close contact with this team, and truly felt that folk culture is vast and profound. The costumes are also endless, including the little daughter-in-law riding a donkey, the scholar wearing a long gown, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and the lion and dragon dance, it's extremely interesting.

  Today's weather is not good, the cold wind blows loudly, and in a short while, the dark sky floats with small snow, but it does not stop people's enthusiasm at all. With the dense small snow, people dance even more vigorously.

  The crowd watching had their faces frozen red, and everyone rubbed their hands together without leaving. This snow actually added to the atmosphere, making it even more lively.

  The team moved forward slowly and went to the neighboring village in a mighty manner. Some young people didn't give up, following them to the neighboring village to continue watching.

  Song Jie was satisfied this time, and with a lingering feeling, she pulled Xiao Yan's hand back to Aunt Li's house. Only after returning home did they feel the cold, their small hands frozen like steamed buns.

  Quickly took off her shoes and got on the kang, covered herself with a quilt, and rubbed her hands desperately. This couldn't be taken lightly, or she would catch frostbite at the slightest carelessness. Just thinking about her hands being like rotten radishes made Song Jie shiver with cold.

  Jian saw Song Jie shudder, and thought it was because she was too cold, so she pulled over Song Jie's hand to rub it first. Song Jie's eyes grew hot, and she took out one of her hands to place on the back of Jian's hand, and the two of them rubbed each other's hands together. As they rubbed, they both started "heh heh" laughing.

  Today is really a happy day.

  Spring has arrived, and it's March again, the busy farming season has started once more.

  Everything revived, Zhao Juan started another busy cycle, getting up before dawn every day, only coming back home at noon to cook a meal, and then returning after dark. Taking advantage of Zhao Juan's absence from home, Song Jie also began her busy life.

  During the day, Zhao Juan went out, and Song Jie came to the space. She didn't forget to carefully search for information about the space, and she couldn't afford to have an uncontrollable event like last time with the vegetables.

  Arriving at the space, Song Jie was the first to come to the study, where she carefully categorized all the books and made a catalog for future reference.

  The number of books in the study is really too many, Song Jie himself is a bookworm, often when tidying up and discovering interesting books, he would bury his head and read diligently, but after a whole day, the results are not obvious, making people feel quite helpless.

  However, she still found some ways to control space. First, you have to choose a method of work, use spiritual power to control space, and then you can also use array methods to control.

  Nothing is easy, just look at the mountain-like books in the study room, and you'll know. To find a suitable method for yourself, you must slowly sift through them. This isn't something that can be accomplished overnight.

  However, there is still something that makes her satisfied, which is the Lingquan pool water outside the house can be drunk, it has the effect of removing impurities and strengthening the body for humans, and has a catalytic effect on plants. In the future, even if she grows crops, she will grow better than others.

  It would be better to have Zhao Juan adjust her body, every time she eats, her mother always pecks at the nest head and salty vegetables, with such a high labor intensity during the day, Song Jie is worried that she will suffer from malnutrition.

  In Song Jie's opinion, all these were secondary. Those books alone were enough to make her happy and content for a while. Only the knowledge stored in one's own mind was something that others couldn't take away.

  Since we can't practice our skills yet, let's start by planting vegetables first. Xiao Zhang village is adjacent to the big mountain, with lush vegetation. The products inside must be abundant, and some can be transplanted in first, controlling the quantity, and harvesting diligently will do.

  Song Jie thus became busy, during the day she not only had to organize books but also go out to collect plants, without any idle time.

  On this day, Little Swallow came to find Song Jie with a basket to dig wild vegetables. It's really the poor people's children who take charge of the household early. Aunt Li loves Little Swallow so much, but still has to let her help with some chores. Now Little Swallow can already mend clothes like an adult.

  Two people held hands and carried a basket to the foot of the mountain. But they didn't dare go in, not even a small child would be enough for a wild beast to swallow in one bite.

  After a spring rain, the ground is densely covered with lush green plants, each one just poking out of the ground, tender and delicious to eat.

  Two people found a good place to squat down and started digging. Song Jie didn't know wild vegetables either, but after being pointed out by Xiaoyaner, she recognized several kinds, including bitter vegetables, ferns, mother-in-law's vegetables, and shepherd's purse.

  She loves to eat shepherd's purse the most, because it is the best when used to wrap dumplings. The strangest thing is dandelion greens, which are actually edible, something I never knew before.

  Holding a small hoe, Song Jie started digging up wild vegetables she knew. Occasionally, she would sneak into the space and dig up one or two more, having a great time, with mud stains on her little face.

  Actually, Zhao Juan didn't order her daughter to go dig wild vegetables. Song Jie thought that since she was already five years old, doing some small chores wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, it's not easy to replenish space species and change things overnight.

  As she dug, Song Jie suddenly heard footsteps. Was someone coming to dig wild vegetables? She looked up and it was really a narrow road, in the distance was that little fatty Da Niu and his little followers.

  As soon as she saw him, Song Jie felt a dull ache in her front teeth. The two people's martial arts skills were fundamentally incomparable. It was better to take advantage of his distraction and slip away quietly. After all, it was also heroic for a weak woman like herself to retreat at the right moment and assess the situation!

  The little swallow beside her was still digging with all her might, completely unaware of the situation around her. Song Jie pulled on her sleeve and whispered, "Yan'er sister, Big Cow is here."

  The little swallow was startled and looked up, it really was a big cow!

  "Let's run!" suggested Song Jie.

  The little swallow nodded its head, and the two of them held hands and ran away happily. This run startled the big cow, it's really a new hatred for old grievances, can't just let it go like this.

  The big man waved his hand at the little follower with great momentum and said "Let's chase", and the two of them followed closely behind, chasing after him desperately.

  Song Jie turned her head and took a look, this is still okay, not over yet! Hurry up and run, it's really suffocating to death, cursing this small body board again.

  Because of the two groups being far apart, Song Jie and the others had already run ahead first, so Da Niu and the others ultimately didn't catch up.

  After the two saw each other, no one chased them anymore. They suddenly collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and couldn't get up again. It was really exciting. Little kids don't understand good or evil, if they were caught, they would definitely be beaten.

  It seems like I have to think of a way out, or else I won't be able to go out in the future?
