She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Lian Chengmo and Banxia were unaware of all this. They were so busy every day that their feet barely touched the ground. After another seven or eight days, they finally finished everything and were ready to move.

To be honest, Lian Chengmo was afraid that Banxia's family's secret would be discovered, so he didn't ask anyone for help with things like painting the walls, except for getting a little help when he was fencing the front yard.

But when it came to his own home, he had to hire help for everything from painting the walls to building the fence. Lian Chengmo was always good at recognizing and utilizing people, and his value was definitely not in trivial matters like painting walls and building fences.

Of course, this doesn't apply to little girls...

Because they had agreed to wait until all the houses in the village were built before moving in, the two of them didn't invite the villagers to a meal. Instead, they invited their master, Murong Fu, and their senior brother, Mu Rongyi, to come and be their guests.

Of course, this visit was to Liancheng Mo's house.

After class, Banxia would have a quick lunch and then lead the children to move things back and forth.

Grandpa Qi Sanshui also came with his daughter-in-law and eldest grandson to help move the items, along with several enthusiastic aunties and sisters-in-law from the village.

Banxia didn't refuse everyone's kindness, after all, moving into her new home as soon as possible had always been her wish.

The wooden bed and tables and chairs made by carpenter Yao were moved into each room first. Then came the belongings that Banxia had accumulated during this time, the donkey that Lian Chengmo had given her, and the pheasants and rabbits that she had caught and raised.

Believe it or not, before she became an apprentice, she had nothing to do all day and caught quite a lot of wild chickens. She raised them for more than a month and they grew a lot bigger.

As for that pair of rabbits, the mother rabbit had already given birth to baby rabbits. She truly deserves to be called the queen of reproduction in the animal kingdom. She gave birth to eleven baby rabbits in one litter, seven of which were from the mother rabbit.

The male rabbits, enticed by the occasional feeding of wild vegetables with growth-inducing properties during the summer, became very obedient and waited patiently for their feeding every day.

However, Banxia divided these small animals in two, sending one half to Lian Chengmo's house to be raised. Seeing how happy his younger siblings were, Lian Chengmo did not refuse.

We're all family, there's no need to be so particular, right?

Lian Chengmo thought this way, but Banxia didn't. She divided all the food she had stored up in the past few days in two, one portion for each person. As for grain, she only took the ones she had bought herself.

Seeing this, Lian Chengmo calmly carried over thirty catties of fine rice, remembering that the little girl loved white rice the most.

The house was in a mess, and Banxia didn't notice for a moment that there was an extra bag of rice in the kitchen.

Once everything was moved, the aunties who had come to help dispersed very quickly, and Banxia couldn't even call them to take something with them.

"Big sister, I remember which aunties they are. I'll deliver it to their homes in a bit," Qi Changshan suggested earnestly, his face serious.

"Okay, then you and Juanbai divide these things into several portions and deliver them to people. People help us, so we should give them some compensation. This is called reciprocity. That way, if we need help at home in the future, others will come to help us again, understand?" Banxia seized the opportunity to teach her younger brothers.

Although she grew up in an orphanage, she only occasionally played with children younger than herself. Most of the children were focused on how to be adopted or how to study hard to leave that environment.

So Banxia really doesn't know how to raise children. All I can say is, let them raise them as they see fit. As long as she thinks it's right, she'll say a few words to her younger brothers.

She would promptly correct her two younger brothers if she thought something was wrong, just like last time when Selaginella traded a bunch of wild vegetables for two eggs.

"I understand, big sister. My brother and I will definitely do our best," Qi Juanbai replied immediately.

Banxia smiled with satisfaction, patted her two younger brothers' heads one by one, and felt that raising children was not so difficult. Look how sensible her children are.

"Then you guys decide what to do. I'm going next door to discuss with your brother Mo about inviting Master to dinner tonight." Banxia said, then got up and went next door.

The dinner is being held at Liancheng Mo's house. Her house can be tidied up later, but Liancheng Mo's house should still be kept clean and tidy so as not to displease Master.

This is a basic principle of hospitality in China!

When they arrived next door, Lian Chengmo was indeed tidying up his house. Fortunately, there were still people in the village clearing land, and the three cows were temporarily being raised by the village; otherwise, the yard would have been even more chaotic.

Banxia saw that even Xiaoshuang'er was running back and forth organizing her things, so she smiled and went over to help.

"You've finished getting things done over there?" Lian Chengmo was a little surprised to see the little girl come over. Compared to her, the little girl seemed to have more strange and unusual belongings.

"No, it's just that we're having a housewarming party for Master tonight, so I thought I'd tidy up this place for you first. I'm not in a rush over there, as long as the bed is made up and someone can sleep on it," Banxia explained, her hands still busy.

She emptied everything out of the bundle and then carefully organized it, placing it in the kitchen.

Seeing her like this, Lian Chengmo smiled slightly and continued to pack things up and place them in the main room.

He had actually bought two sets of better teacups in Li County before, and they could finally be used today.

Although Lian Chengmo didn't think these things were particularly valuable, the valley was difficult to communicate with the outside world, so if these things were broken, there would be no replacements. This was the first time he had taken them out to use them.

In the kitchen, Banxia arranged everything and began to think about what to make for dinner, but after checking everything, she became a little worried.

The meat they eat is mostly dried meat; there's no fresh meat because they haven't hunted in a long time. Even the fish traps they put in the river broke recently and haven't been repaired.

Banxia thought about it and discussed it with Lianchengmo.

"Since there's no good meat or vegetables, I'll go to the river and catch a couple of fish. See if you can catch any wild animals in the village; we can trade them for some."

“Okay, be careful by the river.” Lian Chengmo nodded in agreement.

Although he never cared about the food supplies, he often cooked and knew what food was left at home.

Seeing that he nodded, Banxia took her tools and set off. Although the fish trap was broken, catching two fish was not difficult for Banxia.

I made a simple fishing rod, and Banxia casually sprouted a wild vegetable. Then I broke off a section of the vegetable stalk, hooked it onto the fishing hook, and cast the line without even a float.

But the plants she had induced to grow were incredibly attractive to animals. Not long after casting the hook, Banxia felt a fish take the bait. She chuckled and pulled the fish ashore with all her might.

As for "playing with fish," haha, that doesn't exist.

So, within five minutes of arriving at the river, Banxia had already caught five fish, two large and three small, which was far beyond the permitted limit.

After gathering the items, Banxia glanced around, then burrowed directly into the lush grass, simply and crudely clearing out a small patch of land, scattering seeds, and sprouting a small patch of wild vegetables.

Having learned from past mistakes, Banxia dared not use her supernatural abilities repeatedly on the same piece of land, so she gathered some wild vegetables and left.

Moving to a different spot encouraged the growth of another type of wild vegetable. After thinking for a moment, she went to the bamboo forest and encouraged the growth of more than a dozen bamboo shoots. That should be enough vegetables for tonight.
