Leisurely mountain village

Thanks to Brother Rural Kid for the update reminder, here it comes!

On the plane, Dugu Jingguo said goodbye to Ye Wuju. He was going directly back to Kyoto Prefecture to report and to finalize the matter of Ye Huan supplying him with vegetables. Starting tomorrow, someone would come to collect the vegetables.

The plane made a small detour, dropped Ye Wuju and his grandson off at the back of the mountain, and then flew away. After sending his grandfather back, Ye Huan came back, took a shower, and went to bed. Cultivation is not something to be rushed in a day or two; it requires a balance between work and rest.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Huan fell asleep, and it was almost dawn.

After sleeping until lunchtime, Ye Huan felt refreshed and full of energy again. When Ye Huan returned home, his grandparents had just finished eating. Seeing her son come in, Ye Huan's mother put down what she was picking up.

"Don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Grandpa said with a smile.

"I've had enough sleep, don't worry about me, I'll clean up after I finish eating." Ye Huan took the large bowl of rice that Sister-in-law Bai Jie had filled for him and began to eat.

During a break from dinner, I said to my parents, "Let's hire some more people. Starting tomorrow, besides what we deliver to Gu's Restaurant, we'll pick as many as we can each day, and someone will come to pick them up."

"Yes, yes, your grandfather said so," Ye Dafa said, in a good mood. This wasn't just food, it was money, piles and piles of money.

“I’ll go find some people in a bit. I invited a few last time, but many people said I wasn’t being generous enough. I pay 100 yuan a day to pick vegetables in the morning, and many people are eager to come.”

"It's alright, just find a few more, and you can relax a bit. Now that you have money, there's no need to work so hard. Dad, you just need to focus on delivering the Gu family's vegetables. Starting next year, you can handle all the deliveries yourself," Ye Huan said.

"Now that the vegetables have been harvested, the villagers are all dejected and no longer proud. Haha, let's teach them a lesson and prepare for cooperation later."

"Also, sister-in-law, you and Mom should try not to do any more housework in the future. It's too tiring. Managing that nutrient solution well is more important than anything else, but we can't let anyone know about it," Ye Huan continued.

"Okay, let's take it easy too." Ye Huan's mother nodded with a smile. There was indeed no need to be so busy every day now. They were paying people to do the work, so there was no need to exhaust themselves.

"I saw the new clothes Dad bought for you. Don't even think about returning them, that's more like it. What's the point of earning money if you don't spend it? We have enough to eat and drink now," Ye Huan said with a smile, giving his dad a thumbs up when he saw his mom's new clothes in the room.

"I know, you just know how to waste money. I'm in the vegetable garden all day, why would I need new clothes?" Ye Huan's mother complained, but she was actually quite pleased. Her son was filial and her husband was obedient, it was wonderful.

"Mom, if you think about it this way, since this is a work uniform, does it make you feel less reluctant to part with it?" Ye Huan said with a smile.

"You brat, you're asking for it! What kind of decent person would wear clothes worth thousands of dollars as work clothes?" The mother pretended to hit her son.

"From now on, our family's work uniforms must cost over a thousand yuan. Hehe, let's see who dares to say that." Ye Huan didn't care at all, but he was quite surprised that his dad was willing to spend over a thousand yuan on clothes.

He looked at his father suspiciously, but Ye Dafa glared at him and said, "Your mother and I work so hard to earn money for you every day, what's wrong with buying you something nice?"

"Haha, Dad, you're being a bit hypocritical. I didn't take a single penny of this money. Mom, did you give Dad a raise?" Ye Huan asked his mother.

"Yes, he's out and about every day, and he often needs to hire people to do chores. We have cigarettes and alcohol at home, so I just give him some money. In the afternoons, when he has nothing to do, he goes to play cards with the villagers." Mom nodded.

"I knew it! When did Dad become so generous? Hehe, turns out it's because of a raise!" Ye Huan laughed, quietly leaning on her uncle's back, laughing along, though it was unclear what she was laughing about.

Ye Dafa was speechless. Fortunately, Ye Huan's mother was in a good mood, so he glared at his son and prepared to go out for a stroll.

"Dad, a little gambling is harmless fun," Ye Huan said to her father as he was leaving.

"Do you need to teach me this? You need to have money to gamble big." Ye Dafa said speechlessly. Now, apart from him and a few others who do business outside, who in the village has the money to gamble big?

They all entered the park by betting 100.

Mom and Bai Jie went for a nap, and Jingjing was also taken away to sleep. Ye Huan ate while chatting with Grandpa.

"Is that nutrient solution you're using made with some kind of special substance? I bet Dugu Jingguo knows by now that your fruits and vegetables contain that substance, which is why they taste so good," the grandfather asked his grandson with a smile.

"Hmm." Ye Huan couldn't explain the space issue, so he could only give a vague answer. He overheard his grandfather's excuse about special materials, and he wondered what would be a good option.

“It’s a kind of spiritual energy, generated from this stone. It can promote the growth of plants and animals. Have you seen it before, Grandpa?” Ye Huan took out the “spiritual stone” she had bought from a street stall and handed it to her grandfather.

Ye Wuju took it. "Spiritual energy? I've seen this stone in the mountains before, but not many. I think I have a few more in my family's secret cellar, a bit bigger than yours. I thought it was jade."

"I call it a spirit stone. Without a special method, the energy inside, which I call spiritual energy, cannot be released. Machines are useless for this. But I have a basic grasp of this method," Ye Huan said with a smile, having already prepared his reasoning.

He wasn't exaggerating. After buying this suspected spirit stone, he did study it in his spatial dimension that night. Then, using the energy circulation route from the Longevity Scripture, he easily absorbed the spiritual energy. Now, this stone can basically only be considered ordinary jade.

"Furthermore, I discovered that as long as I circulate the absorbed energy, or spiritual energy, within my body, I can use it continuously. Therefore, these nutrient waters are filtered with energy, which is why they have some of their effects."

Ye Huan breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he wanted to deceive his grandfather, but this space was just too incredible. He felt it was best not to reveal it and not to add any pressure to his grandfather.

Even now, Grandpa is prepared to go on a killing spree for his sake. How could he bear to let Grandpa actually do such things? If something really happens, he will take action himself.

He didn't learn all those techniques and skills from the Shennong Scripture for nothing. Although most of them are only at the beginner level now, he has only reached the mastery level with the fireball technique.

However, these things were all immortal techniques or magic, which were far more powerful than ancient martial arts. Ye Huan was unwilling to kill people himself. If such a day ever came, and one or a group of people wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't care about killing them.

"A Qi Refiner? You're saying you can absorb this spiritual energy?" Ye Wuju, as expected of a big shot, actually thought of ancient Qi Refiners as soon as he heard Ye Huan's words.

Ye Huan's eyes lit up. Yes, that's a very good and powerful reason.

"Yes, that should be the case, but unfortunately I don't know exactly how it is. I'm just a beginner myself."

People are urging me to update! How many chapters have I updated today? Oh well, I'm happy, hehe, thank you all.
