I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

He knew that the seeds his aunt took out were given by the gods. Things given by the gods must be good things. Aren’t good things meant to be hidden for one’s own use?

Jiang Qinyu patted his head, looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you think? Can Shufan guess why Auntie did this?"

Shu Fan shook his head, "I can't think of it."

Thinking that he was only six years old, Jiang Qinyu squatted down, looked him in the eye, and explained seriously, face to face: "Shufan, think about it, if our family is the only one in the village that planted high-yield seeds, wouldn't it be possible to hide it from everyone next year?"

"Yeah." Shu Fan nodded, still not quite understanding.

Jiang Qinyu continued, "What will they do when they see that our family has a bumper harvest and that we get several times more food than they do?"

"Will they scold us behind our backs?" Pan'er whispered, "And they'll stop their children from playing with us..."

When Shufan heard this, his face turned serious. "Not only that, they will ask us to share the food with them. If we don't, they will come and rob and steal it!"

Just like Lu Tianbao's parents, and Wang Po's family, they are definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"Yes," Jiang Qinyu smiled with relief and patted his shoulder. "So now you know why Auntie wanted to share the seeds given by the gods, right?"

"Well! As long as there are people like our family in the village, others will not just focus on our family!" Shu Fan's eyes became clearer, and he looked at Jiang Qinyu with admiration.

Jiang Qinyu didn't say anything more, patted their shoulders, and said, "It's time to go to bed. You two should go wash up quickly. Shufan wants to take a bath by himself today..."

She arranged the two children, took out shampoo and shower gel and put them in the bathroom, taught Shufan how to use them, and then took Pan'er back to the room.

It's already October, but for some reason, the weather is still very hot before midnight.

There was a cellar in her house that was dug by Lu Yanzheng before. She had cleaned it up these days, spread a mat underneath, and made a bed on the floor. At night, the three of them, aunt and niece, would not feel hot at all when sleeping in the cellar.

Now Jiang Qinyu's bedroom is equivalent to a small duplex room, with people living on both the upper and lower floors. I just don't know if this simple cellar can keep warm in winter?

After Shu Fan came out of the shower, he felt a little uncomfortable all over and walked past Jiang Qinyu awkwardly.

Jiang Qinyu teased him amusedly, "What's wrong? Are you still embarrassed to be with your aunt?"

"No..." Shu Fan said with a red face, "It's just...it's just that the bath beans my aunt gave me are too fragrant, much more fragrant than the ones that Sister Yingchun from the village bought from the county town..."

Jiang Qinyu burst out laughing when she heard this. "This isn't a bath bean, it was given to me by a god. You won't notice it after you use it more often."

However, Shu Fan's words reminded her that she had to hurry to the rouge shop in town and unlock the personal care products area.

She didn't want to use any skin care products, but she wanted to unlock the supermarket area to get system points. She spent 200 points to buy seeds. If she didn't make up for it, she felt that her points might become negative at any time, and then she wouldn't be able to buy anything she wanted.

Pan'er was much more receptive to shampoo and shower gel. She obediently let Jiang Qinyu wash her hair and bathe her. She then imitated Jiang Qinyu and washed herself. Then, she told her embarrassedly, "Pan'er will wash herself from now on, so that auntie won't have to get tired."

Jiang Qinyu's heart melted at her soft and cute voice. She leaned over and gave her little face, which had grown a little fleshy, a kiss. "Pan'er is great. If she can take a bath by herself, she will be an independent little girl."

The little girl smiled softly and imitated Jiang Qinyu's movements more seriously.

After the two of them finished washing, they were all smelling good and returned to the large mat laid out in the cellar. Jiang Qinyu played with the two children for a while before starting the bedtime story time.

"Five hundred years ago, there was a place called Huaguo Mountain. On the mountain stood a large rock. It was said that the rock was left behind by Nuwa after she repaired the sky..."

"Aunt, what is Nuwa mending the sky?" Shu Fan's slightly confused voice came.

Jiang Qinyu choked, remembering that this myth didn't seem to exist in this world, so she explained the story of Nuwa mending the sky again. When she wanted to continue the story of Journey to the West, she heard the faint snoring of two children.

"You two are really..."

She smiled and shook her head, kissed them both lightly on the forehead, turned over and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

……

Before dawn the next day, Dingshui Village was already bustling with people.

Village chief Li assigned the task of guarding the intersection to a dozen half-grown children in the village, and the task of making traps and firebreaks to Chen Shao and Liu Yazi.

Early this morning, the entire village gathered under the large locust tree at the entrance. Village Chief Li said nothing more. He struck the broken gong a few times and shouted, "Everyone, run three laps around the village first!"

Dingshui Village is neither big nor small. After three laps, it is definitely more than three thousand meters.

Seeing such intensity right from the start, Jiang Qinyu looked at her small body with thin arms and legs, wailing in her heart.

But in order to set an example for the children, she bent down and said to Shufan and Pan'er, "Let's run behind the aunties in the village. If you two can't run anymore, stop and rest. Do you understand?"

"Yeah!" The two children nodded in unison.

Jiang Qinyu ran obediently behind Chen and the others. At some point, Liu Ruyi ran up to her side.

"Thank you, Sister Lu." Liu Ruyi smiled at Jiang Qinyu in an approachable manner.

Jiang Qinyu had good hearing and could tell that she wasn't very tired from running, and her breathing wasn't loud. "No, I didn't help much. You should thank the village chief."

"Of course I have to thank the village chief, but if you hadn't given me advice, I wouldn't know who to look for." Liu Ruyi said sincerely.

She could feel that Jiang Qinyu didn't want to have any in-depth contact with her, but the more she felt this way, the more she wanted to get closer to her.

Jiang Qinyu was a little speechless. She pretended to be very tired and panted loudly a few times, "I can't run anymore. You guys run first, I'll catch up soon..."

As she spoke, she slowed down and fell behind the team.

Liu Ruyi lowered her eyelashes and did not look back.

On the first day of running, although the women persevered, they were full of resentment.

"Village Chief, why don't we just not run away?"

"Yes, Village Chief, I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my back. How can I work later?"

"Who said women also need training? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Ouch, my old waist..."

Jiang Qinyu was also resting, but she didn't say anything. She just carefully wiped the sweat off Pan'er and Shufan, and used her hands as a fan to fan them.

Village Chief Li wasn't going to tolerate these women. He glared at them, "What are you talking about? Are you going to push your men out to block the attacks when there's danger in the village? Can you really hide behind them?"

After saying this, the women really stopped talking.

Today's work had been arranged long ago, and after having enough rest, everyone went about their own business.

After a busy day, everything in the village went smoothly. When it got dark in the evening, people who came back from the fields all had smiles on their faces.

"Ouch, who is the wicked person who dug the trap here? Why didn't you tell anyone before?" At the end of the village, Meng Tianze's long legs were straddling the two sides of the trap. The ligaments that had not been stretched for a long time suddenly stretched, and he grimaced in pain.

If he hadn't acted quickly, he would have fallen in by now. He really lacks virtue!
