Chu Jiao was secretly thinking about how to help Tao Shu when an old man's voice came from behind her.

"Ajie? Are there guests at your house?"

Chu Jiao turned around and saw a friendly old man looking at them with a smile. A Jie saw the old man and said hello politely.

"Hello, Village Chief! Sister Chu is here to see the big peach tree in our village."

"Hello, Village Chief. I came here to play. I heard that there is a thousand-year-old peach tree in your village. Sister Ye said it will bloom soon. I was curious, so I came to take a look." Chu Jiao explained with a smile

"Hahaha, okay, it's fate that you can come here from such a long distance. The peach tree in our village is very effective in marriage. Little girl, pray to the peach tree sincerely, and it will help you find a good partner!" The village chief said with a smile and left with his hands behind his back.

Chu Jiao: ………

"Hehe, Sister Chu, really, many people here who are of marriageable age will come here to pray, do you want to try it?" Ajie said with a smile

Chu Jiao was speechless. This little brat hadn't even started school yet, but he knew a lot. "Okay, let's go back first. You little brat is so smart." Chu Jiao couldn't help but rubbed Ajie's chubby little face.

The two of them laughed all the way back to Ajie's homestay. After a short time together, Ajie felt that he and Chu Jiao were the best in the world.

"You're back. It's time for dinner. We have farm-style dishes at home. Don't be disgusted, Xiao Chu." Sister Ye said and warmly invited Chu Jiao into the house.

Chu Jiao saw A Jie's father in the house. He was a simple and honest country man who walked with a limp. When he saw Chu Jiao come in, he smiled and nodded at her as a greeting.

Chu Jiao didn't care and smiled back. She understood the pain of people with social anxiety. This should be the highest etiquette.

She used to be like this, afraid to talk to strangers. After using the system and running two planes, her social anxiety symptoms have improved a lot, and she has no problem communicating with strangers.

"Xiao Chu, please sit down and have your meal. Ajie's father is just like that. He doesn't like to talk much. Don't mind him!" Sister Ye explained with a smile.

"Haha, Sister Ye, you don't have to be so polite. Ajie and I are good friends." Chu Jiao smiled and touched Ajie's head. Ajie gave her a big smile in return.

"Hahaha, okay, then I won't be polite with you. You saved Ajie today, so you will be his real sister in the future, a family member! Come on and eat the food, this is a chicken raised at home, the meat is very fragrant, you should eat more!" After Sister Ye finished speaking, there was a big chicken drumstick in Chu Jiao's bowl.

"Thank you, sister!" Chu Jiao didn't act pretentiously. She thanked him and started eating. Sister Ye's cooking skills were good.

When everyone was eating happily, a car horn sounded outside the courtyard gate. Sister Ye put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out to take a look. After chatting for a while, she came back with a smile and explained the reason as soon as she entered the door.

"Xiao Chu, you might not know this, but there are big stars in our village filming a variety show. They're renting a house at the innermost part of the village. They asked me to go there and cook for them tomorrow."

Chu Jiao was surprised. "Filming a variety show? If you are so busy, will I disturb you? No, I will go to Murakami and find a new place to live." Chu Jiao just saw a few B&Bs in Murakami. They are not far away, so it is convenient to move there.

"Don't disturb them, just stay here and relax. We have to eat at home too. They usually eat late, so I can still make it in time after I finish cooking. They came here to shoot for a few days half a month ago. That's what I did last time."

"Sister, you are so capable. This must be very hard." Chu Jiao especially admires Sister Ye's character of being motivated in everything she does.

"Oh, it's not hard work when you can make money. If it weren't for my good cooking skills, I wouldn't have gotten this chance." Sister Ye said this with pride. Her cooking skills were recognized by the old village chief and she recommended it to the program team.

"Yeah! Sister, your cooking is really delicious. I can't do that. My mom said that even dogs would run away after seeing the food I cook." Chu Jiao said with an embarrassed smile

"What's the big deal? You're destined to be blessed. Just find a boyfriend who can cook and eat ready-made meals."

Chu Jiao didn't know how to respond to this, she could only giggle twice to ease the embarrassment, then buried her head in her food and dared not say a word.

After dinner, Sister Ye refused Chu Jiao's request to help wash the dishes, so Chu Jiao had no choice but to leave the kitchen.

It was already chilly in Taohua Village at night. Ajie in the living room had already put on a thick coat. Although Chu Jiao was not cold in her thermostatic clothes, she went back to her room and changed into a thick coat to fit in.

After playing with little Ajie for a while, it was time for him to go to bed. Sister Ye and the others had to get up early in the morning to work and go to bed early at night.

Chu Jiao left Sister Ye's homestay on the pretext of eating too much at night and going out for some exercise.

The countryside is pitch black at night, with only the streetlights on the roadside providing some light.

Chu Jiao walked slowly along the streetlights to the square on the peach tree side. Just as she was about to continue walking forward, she heard a shout, "Who are you?"

Chu Jiao was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. A little old man came out from the dark. It turned out to be the old village chief she saw during the day.

When he saw Chu Jiao, his originally serious face relaxed and returned to the kind look he had seen during the day. He smiled and said, "It's the little girl who lives in Ajie's house. Why are you here at Taoshu so late?"

Chu Jiao quickly explained, "Hello, Village Chief. Sister Ye's cooking is so delicious. I ate too much for dinner, so I came out for a walk and came to see what the peach tree looks like at night."

The old village chief looked back at the peach tree and sighed: "Look, it couldn't wait to bloom this year. I don't know if I can see it again next year." After that, he left with his hands behind his back.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Jiao heard a hint of sobbing in the words of the old village chief. This old man probably knew the situation of the peach tree.

Chu Jiao walked directly to the bottom of the peach tree, touched the trunk of the peach tree and said softly: "Don't worry, I will find a way to save you." Her wood-type ability can even save the sacred tree like the elf mother tree, so she will definitely be able to save it.

"Xiao San, help me check if there is anyone around now."

"Okay, host! Don't worry, there's no one around now!"

After hearing what the system said, Chu Jiao felt relieved. She stretched out both hands and placed them on the trunk, activating the wood element ability. A little green light in the darkness entered the peach tree with the hope of life.

The peach tree, which was almost exhausted, eagerly absorbed the vitality that kept pouring into the trunk. After the trunk was slowly saturated, the energy flowed to the branches above, and the whole tree was wrapped in rich vitality.

As the peach tree absorbed more and more energy, its vitality became stronger and stronger. It began to sway in a human-like manner. Dots of green light were floating around it. The peach blossoms that were originally in bud on the branches slowly blossomed. As the peach tree swayed, a rain of petals began to fall.
