Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Chapter 74: Giving You Old Age and Caring for You

The Chen family was tired after a whole day of sitting, so they quickly washed up and went to sleep without a dream all night.

Before daybreak, Tan rose early, prepared breakfast, and made some pancakes for her and Chen Changjiang to eat on the road. She placed the seeds that needed to be planted on the table, and asked her mother-in-law to help plant them.

Qingning was woken up by Qingzhu in a daze and put on her clothes in a hurry. Qingzhu found it funny and helped her put on her clothes. She still closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.

"Oh, no, I'm so sleepy. I don't want to get up and go to school." He fell back and started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Okay, then go to sleep. Then the teacher will punish you by making you write the big characters ten more times. Let's see how you react."

Qing Ning was startled and sat up quickly. Then she thought of something and screamed, scaring her family into the house to see her.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Tan rushed forward, looked around, and was relieved when she saw that nothing was wrong.

"I forgot to do the homework assigned by the teacher yesterday. Wow~" Then she cried out in sadness again. The teacher was going to spank her hands and make her write as punishment.

"Brother and sister, have you finished writing?" Qingning seemed to be expecting something?

"It's finished," several people gave a very affirmative answer. Qingning didn't believe it and stared at Qingzhu with tears in her eyes. Her second sister was with her almost all yesterday. When did she write it? How could she not know?

"When Mr. Xu came to discuss business with you last night, I saw there was nothing for me to do, so I went back to my room to do my homework."

Is this still her biological sister? She actually left her to do the homework alone.

Qingzhu couldn't stand her younger sister's resentful and aggrieved look, so she quickly comforted her, "Second sister was wrong. She shouldn't have left you alone to do your homework. When we left so late yesterday, you were so sleepy you couldn't even open your eyes. Mom had to wash you and put you on the bed. How could you have the energy to do your homework? Go apologize to the teacher today and make up for it."

That's true. I was so sleepy yesterday.

"Alright, alright, wash your face, have breakfast, and then go to school. Your father and I will be at your maternal grandparents' house tomorrow and won't be back. Qingwu and Qingyu, you two must take good care of them at home. If you need anything, go to Grandma or call the village chief, Second Grandpa, or Mr. Caima."

Tan was really worried about leaving the four children at home, but she couldn't take them with her because they had to go to school and do other things.

"Don't worry, Mom. We will be obedient. Just go without worry." Several people promised obediently.

Just as they were about to leave after dinner, they saw Yu Shi driving the ox cart over and parking it outside the yard.

"Uncle Shi, where are you going?" Qing Ning asked after several people greeted Yu Shi.

"I heard yesterday that your father and your mother were going back to their parents' home, and the journey was long, so your adoptive father asked me to bring this ox cart over for them to use." As he said this, he strode into the courtyard.

"Brother Changjiang, Sister Tan has brought the ox cart to my father. You can drive the cart back to my mother's house. This way, the round trip will be faster and save some energy."

"Oh, this is so embarrassing. What if you want to use it?"

"Brother Changjiang, what you are saying is ridiculous. We don't need it for anything, so you guys can use it. I have to go back and hunt some game, and wait for Qingning to make barbecue." After saying that, he left with the kids without waiting for the two to reply.

"Husband, it's getting late. Let's load our things into the car. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can return."

"Okay." The two of them loaded their belongings into the car, said goodbye to Old Lady Chen and Mrs. Li, and drove away.

Because Li also had to go back to her parents' home today, but her parents' home was close and she went back from time to time to visit, so she didn't bring much with her, and just went back to ask her sister-in-law's opinion.

Old Mrs. Chen looked after both families alone and stopped going to the workshop. With Wu Yi and Chen Ming watching over them, she had nothing to worry about. She went to the second son's yard to plant vegetables and look after the livestock.

As soon as they arrived at Mr. Ma's yard and greeted everyone, Qing Ning admitted her mistake to Yu Wu: "Mr. Wu, I forgot to do yesterday's homework. Please slap me on the palm." As she said this, she timidly stretched out her palm, looking so pitiful.

"Alright, I won't hit you. I know you were exhausted from yesterday, but this is just one time, and it won't happen again. You'll have to make up for it along with today's homework."

When Qing Ning heard that she didn't have to be slapped, she immediately agreed with a smile on her face.

After finishing all the morning classes, Qing Ning told Yu Wu about Xu Minglang buying a painting yesterday. Yu Wu didn't respond after listening, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"It's okay to agree to it. Just don't list your name on it. This one thousand taels and this three hundred coins were found by Qingning for you. Just don't give her the money." Old Master Yu knew what he was worried about. He was afraid that if people knew the origin of the painting, he would not be able to rest in peace.

"Okay, I'll listen to my adoptive father and tell him I've agreed. I just want him not to show it to outsiders."

Qing Ning vaguely guessed something from listening to their conversation, but she just pretended not to know.

"I don't want Mr. Wu's money. I will make a lot of money in the future, and then I will take care of you in your old age." This was said in a playful and sweet way.

"Okay, we'll just wait for you to take care of us in our old age, and stay in Chenjia Village." Grandpa Yu continued with a smile.

"What about me?" Mr. Ma looked aggrieved, as if he had been abandoned.

"We'll take care of you. Once a teacher, always a father. Grandpa Ma, you and Qing Ning saved our lives, so we will definitely take care of you until the end of your life."

"Hahaha~~~"

Old Master Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, while the others knew to restrain themselves. Mr. Ma was both happy and a little disgusted. Why was he mentioning the end of his life? The old man hadn't lived enough.

Before Qing Ning knew what she had said that had made her laugh, she was dragged home by Yu Shi, who had just returned from hunting.

Yu Wu kept the four Qingsong brothers behind to study for their studies. Yu Qi, having received Chen Changjiang's instructions, helped weed the fields, carrying his hoe and heading out to the fields. Yu San, having gone early because Chen Changshui had asked him to discuss opening a workshop, hadn't returned yet. Qingzhu seemed to be a natural fit for Mr. Ma, and upon arriving, he was asked by Mr. Ma to identify some herbs.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Mr. Yu followed Yu Shi and Qing Ning back to the Chen family courtyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I was shocked. Uncle Yu Shi might have destroyed the rabbit nest in the mountains, and there was also a little wild boar.

"How is it? Your uncle Shi is quite capable, right? Tell me how we do it." Yu Shi had an expression that wanted to be praised.

Seeing that there were still a few living little rabbits, huddled together as if frightened, he thought of raising them.

"Uncle Shi, you clean up the dead ones first. I'll go to the backyard and clear out a piece of land to raise these little rabbits."

"Ning, grandpa will help you build a nest." Seeing this, Grandpa Yu took the initiative to help Qing Ning build a rabbit nest.

"Mr. Yu is here. Hey, what are you two planning to do?" Old Mrs. Chen was planting vegetables in the backyard and saw that the two of them had moved a lot of things.

"Grandma, Uncle Shi hunted a lot of game, and there are still a few little rabbits alive. Grandpa Yu and I are thinking of building a rabbit hive to raise them."

"Okay, you two can do it. I've almost finished planting the vegetables. I'll go back and cook first." After saying that, he went to cook without waiting for the two to reply.

"Wow, we caught a lot of prey today, including a little wild boar." Old Mrs. Chen was really surprised by the prey in the yard.

"Of course, Aunt Chen will cook a rabbit for lunch. I'll clean it up and bring it to the kitchen for you."
