Chapter 159 Temporary Settlement
Chapter 159 Temporary Settlement
What the old people said is right, when you are full and satisfied you won’t miss home, that’s really true!
After lunch, the three of them sat in the rocking chairs under the tree, feeling drowsy.
"Big Yellow and Big Black, watch out! Let's get some sleep first~"
Yu Baibai yawned and patted the heads of the two old dogs that were wagging their tails beside him.
"Wang Wang!"
Although these two dogs are old, it does not prevent them from protecting their owner and being vigilant about the surroundings.
The breeze was blowing gently and the leaves were rustling. Yu Baibai and his family were tired after a morning of work and soon fell asleep.
Dahuang and Dahei lay quietly on the side, occasionally raising their heads to look around vigilantly.
In her dream, Yu Baibai saw a lush wheat field with golden, ripe rice ears swaying in the wind.
Walking through it, I feel my heart filled with joy.
Suddenly, a butterfly danced and led her to a clear stream.
Fishes are playing in the stream and flowers and plants are flourishing on the bank.
Yu Baibai bent down and was about to scoop up some stream water when she heard a familiar voice - it was her modern grandmother and grandparents calling her.
'Swing!'
Yu Baibai turned around and chased after them. The faster she ran, the farther away they were.
Finally, she could no longer run. She bent over, gasping for breath, and weakly called out:
"Grandpa! Grandma! Grandma!"
I opened my eyes and found that the corners of my eyes were wet.
The sun had already set, and I didn't know when a thin blanket appeared on my body.
When Dahuang and Dahei saw him wake up, they wagged their tails happily.
"It turned out to be a dream..." Yu Baibai wiped the tears from her eyes, and a feeling of loss surged in her heart.
He stood up and stretched.
I heard the sound of logging, and following the sound, I saw Yu Yaozu busy at work:
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Yu Baibai took a chainsaw from the space and went forward to help, but Qiao Mu snatched it away:
"Go away, it's dangerous for a child to carry things with him! Go away, you have something useful but you didn't take it out earlier, you naughty child! Look how tired you made your father."
"Zizizizizi..." Qiumu used the chainsaw with great force.
Yu Yaozu stopped working on the saw. He brushed off the debris on his body and went to the side to lift the sawed wood. He tried very hard but failed to move it.
There's no way, the wood is too big, and these trees must have been here for at least three or four hundred years.
Yu Baibai walked up to Yu Yaozu and asked:
"Dad, are we going to settle down here?"
Yu Yaozu nodded: "Yeah, I discussed it with your mother. Anyway, we have everything we need, so it's good to live in seclusion here. Besides, the environment here is good and secluded."
Yu Baibai: It must be hidden! Because there’s no way out.
While they were talking, Qiao Mu had already sawed all the wood.
Being strong is good!
The old man held the saw effortlessly.
Yu Yaozu took the saw and said, "Thank you for your hard work, wife! Let's have hot pot tonight!"
"Stop being so attentive and help separate the wood into planks!"
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, wife! My skills are very good! It's all the result of practice!"
Yu Yaozu did what he said and picked up the saw to chop the wood on the spot.
I saw him pick up the saw and cut the wood into neat boards.
Yu Baibai was not idle either. He collected the chopped wooden boards and stored them directly in the space.
These are all wooden boards prepared for building houses.
The location they chose to build the house was in a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
It's a great place with a lake and a large open space in the middle.
After settling down, we planted lotus roots in the lake and reclaimed the vacant land to grow wheat, vegetables, fruit trees, etc.
Oh my! It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
"What are you thinking about? So engrossed?" Qiao Mu came to Yu Baibai's side without knowing when.
"Mom, I was thinking you guys are really good at choosing places! This is simply a paradise!"
Yu Yaozu: "Once the house is built, I'll plant a large area of peach trees outside! They're beautiful when they bloom, and delicious when they bear fruit!"
After hearing this, Yu Baibai and Qiao Mu smiled and nodded.
The whole family was busy working together, but Yu Baibai was ordered not to do any heavy work and was only asked to weed on the side.
Yu Yaozu, who is full of expectations for the future, has already started planning his future life.
"When our house is built, we'll raise some chickens, ducks, and geese next to it and let them roam around under the peach tree. Roaming chickens are so delicious!"
"When the chickens, ducks and geese grow up, we can eat fresh eggs!"
"If you two are craving for something, we'll kill a duck and make you some duck soup! If that doesn't work, we'll just stew some clay pot chicken!"
Yu Baibai: Oh my! You are such a real dad. I am already drooling over your words.
The family is looking forward to a better life in the future and is full of energy.
They believe that they can live a happy and fulfilling life in this beautiful valley.
As the sun gradually set, Yu Yaozu stopped what he was doing.
"Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow." He looked at the results of the day's work with satisfaction.
"Let's go home and have dinner."
Yu Baibai helped pack up the tools, and the family of three walked along the path towards home.
The evening breeze blew on their faces, bringing a hint of coolness.
Yu Baibai looked back at the forest that was getting darker and darker, his heart full of anticipation.
"What are you eating today?"
"Didn't your dad say hot pot?"
Yu Yaozu: "Of course! I made the hot pot base myself! It's delicious!"
"Dad, I want to eat a tomato pot!"
"Okay! What soup base do you want, wife?"
"Spicy is fine."
"Just wait and see, you two!"
The three of them chatted along the way and soon returned to the camp.
Yu Baibai took the ingredients from the space and Yu Yaozu started to get busy.
Yu Baibai helped wash vegetables in the yard.
Qiao Mu was making a fire.
After a while, Yu Yaozu had fried the bottom of the pot.
The hot pot was served and the family sat around the pot.
Vegetables, meat and other things are placed on the table, which looks very rich.
Seeing the bubbling at the bottom of the pot, Yu Yaozu began to greet the mother and daughter:
"Serve the food and eat!"
Soon, the meat rolls were ready in the pot. Yu Baibai picked up a piece with chopsticks, coated it with sesame paste, and took a bite.
"Dad, this hotpot is so delicious!" Yu Baibai was snoring with laughter due to the heat, but he still praised it highly.
"Hahaha, then eat more!" Yu Yaozu felt very happy when he saw his daughter eating happily.
"Wife, you eat too! If you don't grab your favorite meat roll, it will be eaten by my daughter!"
……
At night, stars twinkle in the sky.
Yu Baibai lay on the simple wooden bed, thinking about everything that happened today, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
I always feel that life now is much more comfortable than living with a group of people in the village!
There is no useless communication and you don't have to care about what others think.
Finally, the family can eat and use whatever they want without having to be secretive!
