Acai's Sky

Village Chief He's face was filled with a bright smile. He said to Ah Cai, "Oh, you really kept us waiting this time! But it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Look, the crops are about to be harvested."

"We old men have already discussed it. After the grain is harvested, we will sell all the rest to you except for the part left for our families. As for the taxes, you will be responsible for paying them. When the time comes, we will just need to deliver the grain to your house." Village chief He seemed a little embarrassed when he spoke, as if he was trying to force something on others.

Ah Cai nodded repeatedly in agreement, then asked, "By the way, how about the rice fish? How many do you want? Leave enough for yourselves, and you can sell some to us."

Village Chief He turned to look at Old Yu, his eyes seemed to ask how many fish there were. Old Yu noticed that Village Chief He was looking at him, but he did not show any fear.

Instead, he answered calmly, "This year, our village has stocked every acre of farmland with a lot of fish fry. Actually, we didn't intend to stock so many at first, but we were fooled when we bought the fry and accidentally bought too many, so we just put them all in the rice fields."

When Ah Cai heard this, she couldn't help but smile, and her laughter like a silver bell echoed in the air.

She said softly, "Thank you so much, everyone! I also hope you'll be kind enough to leave some for me when you catch fish! These fish are not only delicious and tender, but also contain the essence and spiritual energy of nature!"

After hearing this, Village Chief He's face was filled with a satisfied smile. He patted Ah Cai on the shoulder and asked amiably, "Ah Cai, this place is as warm and comfortable as your home. Would you like to stay a few more days before leaving?"

Old Man Bu, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, his face beaming, his mouth almost reaching his ears. He nodded in agreement, "That's right! The peace and tranquility our village enjoys today is all thanks to Miss Acai's skillful use of advanced formations to protect it. Even I, an old man, know this all too well!"

At this moment, Old Yu came over and interjected, "Actually, we don't have any other ideas. We just want Ah Cai to taste this delicious fish head soup to express our gratitude to her!"

As he spoke, he smiled simply and his eyes were full of sincerity and friendliness.

Here, Acai was happily chatting and talking about family matters with several elderly people from Xiangshui Village.

On the other side, Tong Jiayuan and Tong Jiaren walked towards the bamboo garden in Xiangshui Village.

They walked into the back of the outermost bamboo building, successfully moved the portal of Xiangshui Village here, and began to design the portal of Taibai Village in full swing.

Tong Jiayuan stared at Elder Tong Jiaren and said seriously, "Currently, this portal is for your use only. You can travel freely between Taibai Village, Linghai Village, and Nita Town."

Hearing this, Tong Jiaren's face immediately lit up with joy. "Great! Now I don't have to be trapped in the same instance all the time. I really want to go see the deputy clan leader."

His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if he had already seen the beautiful picture of freely traveling to various places in the future.

Tong Jiayuan agreed with a smile on his face, "That's true! Our master always prioritizes purchasing real estate wherever he goes."

Tong Jiaren nodded repeatedly in agreement. "It's rare for fledgling players like them to have the funds to buy a house and obtain a title deed at the beginner stage."

Tong Jiayuan couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh. "So, we're really lucky. When all conditions are ripe in the future, we can simply connect all the portals in the dungeons."

Tong Jiaren laughed heartily after hearing this. "That's great! Then I can return to Taibai Village frequently to assist you. After all, there's nothing urgent to deal with here right now."

Tong Jiayuan paused for a moment before adding, "But you still need to keep an eye out for Xiangshui Village's rice and other specialty products. These are imbued with spiritual energy and are extremely beneficial to the human body. Our master values ​​them highly."

Tong Jiaren also began to ponder future operational strategies: "In the future, I will accompany the village chief to the county town more often and try to get more local specialties for Ah Cai."

Tong Jiayuan nodded frequently and followed Tong Jiaren closely back to the spacious and bright hall.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, a hearty and loud laughter reached my ears - there was no doubt that it was the laughter of Village Chief He.

Ah Cai saw Tong Jiayuan and Tong Jiaren returning from afar, so she quickly closed the panel sharing function that she was using.

I thought to myself, "This damn thing is really a waste of money! It's really good at making money, but sharing it requires extra money." As I thought about it, I shook my head helplessly.

Then, Ah Cai turned to Tong Jiaren and said, "How about we invite all the villagers to a lively long-table banquet? I'll leave it to you to take charge of this matter. Please ask the village chief to help arrange it. I can provide six fat wild boars as ingredients. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself!"

Hearing this, Tong Jiaren was overjoyed and excitedly grabbed Village Chief He and several elderly people to go and prepare the relevant matters. Everyone worked together and was busy.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, A Cai greeted Tong Jiayuan and turned to walk towards the grocery store in the village.

Along the way, Ah Cai met a group of children, led by the clever Ah Wen.

He was seen standing with a few companions on the road leading to the grocery store, seemingly waiting for Acai.

Ah Cai looked at the clever little boy Ah Wen in front of her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Ah Wen, are you waiting for me here? Then let's go to the grocery store together! What do you want to buy?"

Ah Wen's face instantly turned red, and he said shyly, "Sister Ah Cai, the grocery store recently received a batch of new toys, but we don't want to take your things for nothing. If there is anything you need our help with, please let us know!"

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but burst out laughing, secretly thinking that these children were so cute.

She gently touched Awen's head and responded softly, "Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"

Ah Wen hesitated to speak, but Xiao Liuzi behind him didn't think too much about it and said directly, "Last time, Sister A Cai bought us toys, and we got beaten when we got home. They said we fooled you and wanted to teach us a lesson."

Xiao Xia beside him also said, "The next day we went to the school and were lectured by the teacher again. The grocery store owner personally came to see the teacher and said that our behavior was very bad..."

Ah Cai gently stroked his nose and thought to himself: Hey, these little brats have really learned their lesson! It seems that my previous teachings to them were not in vain, really good!

Ah Cai smiled and followed a group of innocent children forward.

As they walked, she asked, "The Xiangshui rice harvest will begin in a few days. Can you help me see how much the yield will increase this year?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Wen and the other children immediately widened their eyes, puffed out their chests, and replied confidently, "Don't worry, Sister Ah Cai! We will keep a close eye on it and won't miss a single detail!"

At this time, Xiao Liuzi shouted excitedly: "I heard from my mother that we raised a lot of fish in the rice fields this year! We did it according to the method that Sister Cai taught us! The fish tasted delicious!"

The other children nodded in agreement. Clearly, everyone had a fond and profound impression of the fish in the field.

Acai looked at these lovely children and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She knows that through close contact with nature and participation in agricultural activities, the children not only learn knowledge but also develop a sense of responsibility and teamwork spirit, which is exactly what she hopes to see.
