Chapter 199: Let Me Go In A Little More
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Ning Ansheng, Zhao Yan, and Shen Tianci’s names were among them. Lei Shaoming, who had a grudge against them, naturally had nothing to do with this matter.
In order to celebrate, Xiaoxiao specially got a pot of wine for her father, making Ning Fengnian so happy that he called her “good daughter” a few times.
She took the opportunity to suggest going to the mountains to play again. Ning Fengnian was no exception. In the beginning, his daughter was watching eagerly. Later, Young Master Ah Yan volunteered to accompany her. Then, his two sons were defeated by his daughter’s stares one after another. He could only agree.
However, they could not be absent from digging the canal these few days. The fields needed someone to rest and reorganize, so they could only entrust their daughter to their neighbor, the young master, who looked very reliable.
However, they did not know that Ning Xiaoxiao, who had escaped their control, was not satisfied with the distance from last time at all. She started to act shamelessly when they arrived.
“Eh, is it here? Why do I feel like we have to go in a little more?
“Little Big Brother, let me go in a little more. I promise it’s just a little more.” Rong Yan was a very principled person and basically would not agree to unreasonable requests. However, he could not stand Xiaoxiao’s thick skin and kept calling him “Little Big Brother”.
It had to be said that shamelessness was something that could be achieved with practice. The first time she spoke, it was a little dry, but it was as smooth as silk in the later stages. It was quite smooth, especially when she realized that Little Big Brother, who was pretending to be calm, would actually be shy.
Rong Yan pretended to be unmoved with a straight face, but he did not stop walking. Xiaoxiao immediately remembered how this person pounced on her without thinking when she met the little green snake.
Sensing that she was staying where she was, Rong Yan turned around strangely. “What’s wrong?”
Xiaoxiao smiled and casually scattered the seeds. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking that the so-called desolate mountain also has rich produce. Why don’t we go to the county magistrate to buy a mountain?”
County Magistrate Shen had been working hard to implement two policies recently. One was to accept refugees, and the other was to reclaim land. Both were good policies that were beneficial to the people’s livelihood.
In order to speed up the implementation, the conditions for exploring the wasteland were quite relaxed. The wasteland belonged to whoever opened it, and the barren mountain only required a small amount of money. Xiaoxiao was ruthlessly tempted.
Rong Yan asked her, “Us?”
Xiaoxiao didn’t think that there was anything wrong. “That’s right. Didn’t we open a milk tea shop? We’ll open it when the canal is done. At that time, we’ll definitely need more and more raw materials. It’s so inconvenient to keep looking for people to buy it. If we buy a mountain, we can be completely self-sufficient in the future.”
When she said “we”, she even considered “the future”.
“Little Big Brother, are you very hot? Why is your face so red?
Rong Yan’s facial features froze. “Yes, a little. It’s summer.”
Xiaoxiao realized that Little Big Brother only looked distant, but he was actually a soft and cute little cutie. He didn’t know how to reject and was easily shy. This contrast was extremely fun.
However, she shouldn’t tease him too much. If Little Big Brother was scared away, no one would bring her out to play next time!
As Xiaoxiao planted more seeds on the mountain, her desire for this barren mountain became stronger. At the thought that the fresh vegetables that she had specially planted would benefit someone else in the future, she felt reluctant.
In order to express this reluctance more clearly, she squatted beside a dead tree in the middle of the road and poked the edible tree fungus on it with her hand. She said seriously, “Precious, only I know how capable you are. You can be cooked with stir-fried green pepper, green vegetables, cabbages, and stir-fried cucumbers. You can be cooked with garlic shredded meat, home-cooked tofu, soup, cold sauce, and dumplings. I want to announce to everyone that you are my treasure.
The corners of Rong Yan’s mouth twitched when he heard that. The guards hurriedly turned their backs to her and looked at the sky to suppress their laughter.
However, Xiaoxiao still felt that it was not enough. She sighed and tugged at Rong Yan’s clothes. “The child’s father, do you understand what I mean?”
Rong Yan: ! ! ’• ’• ’• ’•
IV- why are you saying that!
Yun Yi and the rest vaguely felt that if they dared to turn around now, there was a high chance that they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow. Hence, they tensed their bodies and displayed the self-control that a personal guard should have.
They were just tree stumps with no emotions. They would not smile, let alone be curious about their master’s expression now!
Rong Yan, who was about to burn up, realized that Xiaoxiao’s small mouth was moving. He couldn’t take it anymore and hurriedly covered Xiaoxiao’s mouth. “Didn’t I already say that I understood your intentions?”
Although his voice was as soft as a mosquito, Xiaoxiao heard it and was a little puzzled. When did this happen? Was she too busy planting vegetables to listen? She nodded to show that she understood and asked impatiently, “Then shall we register with the village chief today?”
Register? Register what! She was still so young!
Rong Yan probably gave all the stunned moments in his life to Xiaoxiao and could not react to what she was saying for a moment.
Xiaoxiao chuckled. “After we register and pay the money, this mountain will belong to the two of us!”
Rong Yan came back to his senses. “Mountain? What mountain?”
Xiaoxiao happily did something that she had always wanted to do but did not have the chance to do. She waved her hand and told Rong Yan her plan. “When we buy this mountain, I’ll plant whatever you want to eat. Next spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom. The flowers and willows all over the mountains will be the empire I’ve built for you!”
Yun Yi and the others shivered and could only pretend that they did not hear this treasonous speech. Rong Yan wanted to say something, but he heard Xiaoxiao still fantasizing.
“In spring, we can admire the flowers. Peach blossoms, apricot flowers, and azaleas bloom all over the mountain. We can lay mats on the petals for a picnic.”
“In summer, we’ll hide under the lush trees and watch them bear fruits. We’ll enjoy the mountain breeze.”
“In autumn, we’ll admire the chrysanthemums. We’ll bring a small carbon stove to warm the Huadiao wine and a plate of steamed hairy crabs. There’ll be finely cut ginger in the vinegar. The roe will be fat and full of fragrance.
“In winter, we look at the snow, wear thick clothes and fur hats, build snowmen, fight snowballs, build a bonfire, and cook a pot of hot meat soup…” Rong Yan was accidentally brought into the scene she was talking about. It was spring, autumn, summer, and winter. She said “we”. He was her future. The words that were about to come out of his mouth turned into a soft, affectionate “Yes.”
With Little Big Brother’s approval, Xiaoxiao happily went to prepare lunch for everyone. The last time the entire family went out, everyone followed the simplest rules and only ate some dry biscuits and steamed buns for lunch. This time, it wouldn’t do. She had eaten that thing once. As long as she had the means, Xiaoxiao wasn’t willing to eat it a second time.
Hence, she brought a pot. Not only did Yun Yi and the others not find it troublesome, but they also took the initiative to bring more pots. They were strong and not afraid of doing heavy lifting.
However, Xiaoxiao sincerely said that one was enough. It was really enough..
