Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. During these seven days, Xu Da and his two sons worked hard to turn the soil, and finally completed the task of five or six acres of land. Now, the land has been irrigated, and it is only waiting for the seedlings to grow up and be planted.

Meanwhile, at the farm, Old Lady Xu and Zhang had already established a good relationship with the chickens, ducks and geese. Since Old Lady Xu began to slaughter a chicken, duck and goose every day, the animals had learned to actively avoid them. Now, Old Lady Xu and Zhang were no longer as panicked as before, but were able to skillfully lead away the small number of still ferocious livestock.

Old Man Xu still checked the monitoring equipment every day to make sure everything was running smoothly. After Xu Ning and Xu Yuan dealt with the monitoring problem, they checked it twice more. In the following days, the two of them were like two bricks, helping wherever they were needed.

As the afternoon sun gradually set, dusk arrived. Xu Yuan stopped the cart full of livestock manure and poured it into the fermentation tank. Then she scooped a few scoops of clean water to rinse the cart and pushed it back to the farm.

"Yuanyuan, stop it, go wash up and call them back for dinner." The aroma wafted from the kitchen, making people salivate. Xu Yuan nodded, stopped what she was doing, gently pounded her sore arms a few times, and turned to walk towards the planting area. Her steps were light, as if she was carrying an indescribable joy.

When Xu Yuan was halfway there, he suddenly saw a small figure in front of him. It was Xu Ning, who was carefully carrying a small bucket that seemed to contain some living creature that jumped from time to time.

When he got closer, Xu Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several fat eels in the bucket. These eels were golden in color, strong and looked very tempting.

"Aunt Yuan, we caught a few big yellow eels this afternoon! We'll have yellow eel stew tonight!" At this time, Xu Feng jumped out from behind Xu Ning and said to Xu Yuan excitedly. His face was covered with mud and his clothes were dirty, as if he had just fought a fierce battle in the mud.

Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and when she looked back, she saw Xu Da and Xu An also coming over one after another. Each of them was covered in mud, but their faces were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

"Okay!" Xu Yuan nodded happily, a bright smile blooming on her face. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, like two shining stars.

Seeing this, Xu Ning pushed the bucket to Xu Feng, then took Xu Yuan's arm, and the two walked together in front, followed by Xu Da, Xu An who were carrying tools, and Xu Feng who was carrying a small bucket.

The setting sun became redder and redder, as if it was burned by a raging fire. The gorgeous rays of light were like a golden gauze draped over the people who were going home together, forming a colorful watercolor painting.

The huge machinery not far away was still working tirelessly, making bursts of roaring sounds. The fortress that Xu Ning wanted already had a preliminary model.

As they returned to their temporary tent, Mrs. Zhang had already arranged the dishes and chopsticks neatly, and Mrs. Xu was putting vegetables and soup into everyone's bowls.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Xu Feng didn't care about being dirty. He washed his hands, picked up a bowl of hot food and started eating.

"Grandma, the soup you cooked is so delicious. I feel like I'm getting fat!" Xu Ning took a sip of the soup from the bowl, narrowed his eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he sighed.

"It's better to be a little fatter. Grandma won't dislike you." Seeing Xu Ning's smiling face, Old Mrs. Xu's mood improved. She handed the chopsticks to Old Man Xu who was sitting next to her, and then picked up the bowl in front of her.

"But grandma, what if I eat too much and become a fat man weighing 200 kilograms? What if I can't walk then?" Xu Ning frowned and looked at Grandma Xu with pretended distress.

"I'm impressed that you can grow so fat." When Old Mrs. Xu heard Xu Ning's words, she rolled her eyes and felt speechless.

"That's a blessing, isn't it?" Xu Ning chuckled, revealing two deep dimples, and continued to lower his head to gnaw on a piece of meat.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at her heartless appearance and was too lazy to say anything to her.

Xu Ning was eating meat and talking to Old Lady Xu when he suddenly remembered the eels in the bucket. His eyes lit up and he said, "Grandma, let's make eel porridge tonight. We'll start planting rice in two days, so we need to replenish our energy!"

"Isn't a chicken, duck or goose every day enough for you? You are such a foodie! Even a pig can't eat as much as you do!" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, grandma, you're the best. We'll just eat a little bit, not too much~" Xu Ning rubbed his arm against Grandma Xu and acted coquettishly.

Old Mrs. Xu was amused by her and looked at her face unhappily, "I really can't do anything with you!"

"Thank you, grandma!" Xu Ning smiled happily.

After dinner, Xu An and Xu Fenglei continued to study in the tent, while Xu Ning and other members of the Xu family sat outside the tent and chatted in low voices.

"I don't know how Sister Pei is doing. I haven't contacted the business in the north for almost a month." Xu Ning stared at the half-moon in a daze. Old Mrs. Xu was holding a cattail leaf fan in her hand, and she kept waving it to drive away the flying insects attracted by the firelight.

"I don't know where Brother Feng has gone. He has not left the mountains at this time." Xu Da also started muttering. Zhang beside him was mending clothes that no one knew who had worn them. When she heard Xu Da's words, she just looked up, then lowered her head and continued.

After Xu Yuan finished massaging Old Man Xu's meridians, he turned around and asked Xu Ning, "Ningning, do you need me to go out and take a look?"

"No, wait a little longer. The most important thing has not been done yet. Let's wait until our home is ready, then we can go out and take a look. There is no rush." ​​Besides, after the flood, who knows how chaotic the situation will be outside, Xu Ning shook his head and said.

Xu Yuan nodded. She knew that Xu Ning was right. The most important thing for them now was to clean up the valley. Other things could be done slowly.

Old Lady Xu looked at Xu Ning beside her and found that Xu Ning's eyes were a little worried, so she comforted him, "Don't worry too much, Ning girl. Jiaojiao and the others are very capable people. They will be fine."

Xu Ning sighed and said, "Grandma, I am a little worried about Old Man Qin. The flood is so serious that many places have been destroyed. I don't know how many dangers they will encounter on the road. And Sister Pei, the enemy has been in the dark, and I don't know if they will use this flood to do anything."

Xu Yuan patted Xu Ning on the shoulder and said, "Ningning, don't worry, they will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties. We must also believe in their abilities."

Xu Ning nodded, feeling a little relieved.

The most important thing is that there is no point in her worrying. What is going to happen will eventually happen, so it is better to take it easy.

"She just doesn't eat enough, so she's worrying about nothing. Boss, go kill those eels and cook them into eel porridge later."

"Hey!"
