Translator: 549690339

Yingbao drove the mule cart into town, and Chunniang got off to buy daily necessities. She also went to the butcher’s stall to buy a piece of pork, preparing to make pork and chive dumplings as a treat for the family.

The butcher was still old Tu and his son.

Tu Xiong had become completely honest since his father redeemed him with money. It was said that he had already married and become much more stable than before, not messing around with bad company anymore.

Although it wasn’t a market day, due to the busy farming season, there were still quite a few vendors selling goods on the street.

It was the twin boys’ first time coming to town, and they were so excited that they insisted on getting off the cart to walk around, but Yingbao ruthlessly restrained them.

These two boys were hyperactive. Once let off the cart, they could quickly disappear into the crowd, and even a dog wouldn’t be able to catch up with them.

“Whatever you fancy, your sister will buy for you.” After suppression, appeasement was a must, and Yingbao handled it smoothly.

Xiaojie pointed at a water buffalo resting by the road and shouted, “Sister, buy the buffalo! Buy the buffalo!”

Yingbao slapped his little hand without pleasure, “Choose another one! ”

Xiaojie then pointed to a stone carved flying beast on the roof of a house by the street, “I want that! That!”

Yingbao: …

She seriously suspected that this little guy was doing this on purpose.

“Puppy! Puppy!” Xiaowu tugged at his sister’s sleeve, pointing in a certain direction.

As Yingbao turned her head to look, her eyes lit up instantly.

There was a raggedy man squatting by the side of the road with a bamboo basket in front of him. Inside the basket, there were two fluffy puppies.

Yingbao quickly jumped off the cart, ran over to the man, and asked, “Are you selling these puppies?”

The man nodded, “Yes.”

“How much for one?”

“Ten coins.”

Yingbao pulled out ten coins and handed them to him: “I’ll take one.”

The man happily took the money and pushed the basket towards her, “Pick whichever you like. They’ve already opened their eyes. Just feed them some porridge every day and they’ll live.”

Yingbao picked a light yellow puppy.

The puppy was soft and fluffy with droopy ears and eyes as black as polished black obsidian. It was incredibly adorable.

When she returned to the cart with the puppy, Xiaojie and Xiaowu immediately pounced to snatch it. “I want it! I want it!”

Xiaowu, quick and agile, snatched the puppy away and twisted his body to prevent Xiaojie from touching it.

Seeing that he couldn’t win against his stronger younger brother, Xiaojie got upset, tilted his head back, and burst into tears, starting to complain to his sister, “I want a puppy! I want a puppy too.”

Having been worn down by the two boys, Yingbao had no choice but to return to the man and spend another ten coins to buy the other puppy as well.

What other choice did she have? If she didn’t buy it, she’ll probably turn the two boys into sore eyes.

This one was a black haired dog, but it had a patch of white fur on its forehead that cunningly extended to one of its eyes.

Xiaojie wasn’t picky; once he got hold of the black puppy, he wouldn’t let go. When Xiaowu reached over to have a look, Xiaojie twisted and turned to hide it from him.

Xiaowu gave a snort, cuddling his yellow puppy next to his sister and whispered, “His puppy is so ugly.”

Yingbao: …

When Chunniang came back from shopping, she was surprised to see that her daughter had bought two puppies.

“Your father and I have been thinking about getting a dog to guard the house for a long time, but we never came across anyone selling them. It’s quite a coincidence that you managed to buy two today.”

In the remote South Slope, keeping one or two dogs at home had the benefits of home guarding and nighttime alerts.

Hearing this, the two boys protested in unison, “It’s my puppy! It won’t be guarding the house! ”

Chunniang ignored her silly sons, packed away the items she had bought, climbed onto the mule cart, and headed home.

Then the busy summer harvest season began.

Harvesting wheat, threshing wheat, and drying wheat.

Then turning the soil, sowing soybeans, and planting rice seedlings.

The people of East Village also had to focus on harvesting and drying golden and silver ear mushrooms, then re-seeding them, a task that kept their feet off the ground.

Even before the summer harvest ended, Sun Licheng had begun to visit each village with his underlings, beating drums, urging for tax payment, and notifying everyone that this year’s taxes had increased by 10%.

Nowadays, the villagers of East Village were indifferent to the increase in the tax levy, even if they wanted to dwell on it, they had no spare time.

They would rather spend their time planting dozens of golden ear mushrooms than cursing their fates.

At this time, Zhou Mao came to collect the golden ear mushrooms again.

This time he brought two horse-drawn carriages, two accountants, and several bodyguards.

A large group of people reached the doorstep of Jiang Sanlang’s old house with a hustle.

Jiang Sanlang, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Zhou Mao: “Mr. Zhou, you must be tired.”

Zhou Mao laughed and replied: “No, not at all, Brother Jiang, how many premium products have you harvested this year?”

Jiang Sanlang led them into the house with a smile, “Let’s discuss inside.”

This year, he and his two brothers grew premium golden and silver ear mushrooms. The ordinary varieties were all handed over to the villagers, so it wasn’t convenient to discuss it outside.

Understanding, Zhou Mao entered the house with a laugh.

The villagers knew that the merchants who bought golden ear mushrooms had arrived again. They hurriedly called their friends and family to pack up the dried golden ear mushrooms and bring them to Jiang Sanlang’s house for weighing.

In a short time, a long queue formed at the entrance of Jiang Sanlang’s house. Everyone was carrying baskets full of golden ear mushrooms, waiting to sell them.

These events didn’t affect Yingbao because her golden ear mushrooms were not for sale. They were all stored in the warehouse, waiting for Mrs. Wen to come back and decide what to do with them.

The two little puppies, after a few days of feeding, were already running around in the yard. Seeing Yingbao, their tails wagged furiously, and they hovered around her feet, ignoring even their young masters’ calls.

Xiaojie and Xiaowu didn’t mind, they just continued chasing the puppies, holding chicken bones in their hands to tease them.

These few days being farm holidays, Yuanbao and Huzi also had time off and were home.

The two of them already joined a group of boys from the village and went out fishing. They certainly wouldn’t return until dusk.

Jiang Liu and his two daughters-in-law were busy wrapping dumplings, for the work in the wheat field of Jiang Family was almost done.

“Er’lang told me a while ago that he would marry after the farming season is over,” said Jiang Liu while wrapping the dumplings. “I asked him about the girl, like maybe we should find out about her family, but he said he’d handled everything and told me not to worry. How could I not worry though?”

The incident of marrying her daughter-in-law last time was clear in her mind.

Although Dacheng recovered physically, he turned out to be much more silent, often staying inside the mushroom shed for the entire day.

Chunniang and Dasao exchanged glances, both found it astonishing.

Erbo was getting married?

“It’s a good thing,” Chunniang laughed. “Do you know when his wedding day is?.

Jiang Liu replied, “He said it’ll be on the 28th of this month. He’s had someone calculate it and says it’s the best choice.”

“But there are only around ten days left, wouldn’t it be rushed?” Zhou’s wife asked. “Even the wedding items haven’t been prepared yet.”

Jiang Liu replied, “Er’lang said he’s prepared everything, we shouldn’t worry.”

Upon saying this, she sighed: “I don’t know what he’s prepared, he’s been so mysterious, he didn’t even tell us.”

Chunniang pondered for a moment and then asked, “Did Er’bo mention the name of the girl?”

“He said her name is Lu Yanru,” Jiang Liu muttered. “The name is not bad, but I don’t know what her character is like.”

Chunniang paused, suddenly remembering the girl she had met with her daughter at the Gao family inn in the county town. Her name seemed to be

Yanru.

Ah, it turned out her daughter was right..
