Chapter 193: A Springtime Traveler's Return

children.It's heartbreaking!At this point, it wouldn't be wrong to laugh at him and not show any sympathy. Who would even care about his life or deathAfter all, Liu Laoye still had a bit of sympathy...Li La Er also said, "Next year, we'll find a sunny spot and build a greenhouse. We can grow our own seedlings that way. It will save us time and effort."

Winter Plum glanced at Jia Yin, but remained silent.

Jia Yin leaned against her mother's bosom, half asleep, and didn't hear what anyone was saying.

She was bustling about the small courtyard in the evening, though she didn't have to do any work herself. After all, she was still young and her energy wasn't limitless.

During the day, one inevitably has to sleep more to make up for it.

After a few casual remarks, everyone noticed that Jia Yin was sleeping soundly with drool dripping from her mouth. They started to worry.

"Fu Niu, haven't you been sleeping in so much lately"

"I think so, isn't something wrong there"

"Quickly find a divine doctor to take a look."

Li Laoer got up and left, soon personally bringing Zhang Shenyi over.

Zhang Shenyi heard the good news and felt a little uneasy, his hands hadn't even had time to wash off the blood.

Needless to say, his external wound suture test is still ongoing.

Tao Hongying quickly fetched water and asked the old master to wash his hands, then the old master diagnosed Jia Yin's pulse.

And just like that, Jiayin continued to sleep soundly, completely unaware.

Dr. Zhang examined carefully, first the left hand then the right, and finally blinked a few times before saying, "This child is perfectly fine. He's very healthy; he's probably just tired."

Li Laoer and the others didn't believe it, "She's just a child, she doesn't work, how could she be tired She was playing outside with Mao Ge er and the others these past few days, but she hasn't gone out recently."

But the old woman's heart skipped a beat, she had a vague guess, and quickly replied, "People get drowsy in spring and fall, tired in summer, this child must be sleepy from spring drowsiness."

Everyone laughed, "Maybe this girl just wants to grow taller!"

Since everyone was healthy, they stopped worrying and started asking about Zhang Shenyi's suturing experiment.

Zhang Shenyi spoke of this matter, practically dancing with joy.

"It worked immediately! Catgut is truly amazing, no need to remove it, it just grows into the flesh and won't get infected. I just need to test it more on pigs and sheep, I'm planning..."

He was about to finish his sentence when he saw the frightened looks in everyone's eyes, so he stopped abruptly, coughed twice, and said, "I'll tell you all about it once I've finished my research."

Having said that, he walked away with his hands behind his back, his figure seeming rather guilty no matter how you looked at it.

Everyone secretly prayed for the old man's new experimental subject...

Jia Yin slept soundly all the way until dusk before waking up. She heard that Dr. Zhang had come to see her, and she couldn't help but laugh and cry. But more than anything, she knew her family was worried about her.

So, she gave her mother and grandmother each a big kiss with a giggle.

After having dinner as a family, everyone went to bed early.

But Jia Yin had just woken up, couldn't fall back asleep, and was afraid to move around carelessly for fear of waking her weary mother. So she went back to the small courtyard in the space to continue working.

In the middle of the night, Dongmei came again...

The next day, the village chief, waking early as usual, walked around the village and its outskirts with his hands behind his back.

Upon arriving at the Ye Family Courtyard, he was startled by the vast expanse of melon vines. He then saw Dongmei napping against a large tree on the side, her hair damp with morning dew.

"Oh, Dongmei, these seedlings are from Zhuangzi's farm Why didn't you call everyone You've been guarding here for half the night, what a hardship!"

The village head patted Dongmei awake. Dongmei rubbed her eyes and couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

The old man didn't go to see those precious seedlings first, but instead, he was concerned about whether she had been working hard through the night.

This is also the reason why she and Yejian both like to stay here. The Hou's mansion is luxurious, but it never has the warmth of human touch like Suijintan!

"Don't worry, uncle. I only kept watch for a short while. The seedlings are precious, I was afraid some small animals might harm them."

"Well, that's true," the village elder looked at the vast expanse of seedlings, rubbing his hands with glee. "These melon vines are growing too well, already half a foot high when planted. With proper care, this year's melons could open up seven to eight days earlier."

Dong Mei pointed to the gourd vines near the wall, their leaves a deep emerald green. "Uncle," she whispered, "These are good ones. Don't give any to outsiders. We should save them for our village."

"Rest assured, I've got it," the old man nodded quickly.

Soon, Zhao Shu, who was patrolling with his team, heard the noise and came over. He couldn't help but be surprised, “Oh my, when were these seedlings brought here We didn't know at all.”

The village head, chuckling, scolded, "Lord Hou's men are all skilled and capable. For you to have discovered them, it must have been quite a commotion, probably waking up the whole village."

Everyone burst into laughter and rushed forward to help.

Sometimes people are surprised and exclaim, “Hey, there's still cucumber vines! This is eggplant! These are peas!”

"Yes, quite a lot, enough for each of our families to have some to plant gardens."

"We need to plant more vegetables in the fields outside. We're getting so many guests, we can't keep up with the food."

Instead of talking about how busy everyone was, let's just say that Jia Yin woke up, ate her meal, and started pestering her grandmother to take her to the field. By then, most of the villagers had already planted half of their melon seedlings.

And many people came to the Dahuai Tree and Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang, using carts and carrying baskets to carefully carry away the gourd seedlings they were given.

Everyone is full of gratitude, like they're escorting a treasure chest, with smiles that won't quit.

Three men dragged the village head, insisting on having him drink with them.

It's a pity the village head has no free time at all, just said we can get together again when there is an opportunity.

The riverbank was to be planted with melons, and each household was to plant vegetable gardens. Not only the men, but also the elderly, children, and women all pitched in.

Under the warm spring sunshine, a patch of new green could be faintly seen among the mountains and fields. Occasionally, birds chirped sweetly as they flew around. In the grass, small creatures scurried back and forth.

In the fields, old people and children deliver water and meals, while men sweat profusely.

Everyone is sowing seeds of hope for next year, looking forward to the bountiful harvest in autumn.

Jia Yin leaned against her grandmother's back, hugging her neck and whispered softly, "Grandma, I'm so happy."

The old woman understood her granddaughter's feelings, but she let out a soft sigh. "Silly girl, this is all thanks to you. When autumn comes and we sell the silver, I'll discuss it with your uncles. We'll definitely donate some food and bedding, etc. We can't just enjoy the blessings without giving back."

Jia Yin didn't want to spend the silver, her eyes twinkled as she said, "Uncle, when are you coming back I miss him!"

This reminded the old woman, her son brought back new seeds, truly making it so that the Tianwu people would no longer starve. That would be a great blessing indeed.

It's a coincidence that just as the two generations were talking, a team of carriages appeared on the road in the distance.

Someone rode a horse and galloped ahead, arriving in the blink of an eye. “Grandma, little sister! We’re back!”

The old woman took a closer look, she was both delighted and amused. This little boy who looked like a lump of coal was actually Jia Yi!

"Oh, Jia Yi! You're finally back!"

The old woman held her granddaughter on her back in one hand and patted her grandson's shoulder with the other, her eyes red with happiness. "How did you get so tanned Have you been working hard"

"Hee hee," Jiayi scratched his head and quickly took the sister, replying, "Grandma, don't worry, we didn't suffer. It was just too hot in the south!"

Saying this, he gave his little sister a big kiss and whispered boastfully, "Sister, Big Brother brought you good things!"

Jia Yin was overjoyed, hugging her older brother's neck and shouting, "Third Brother is the best!"e, and everyone who saw him called him "Young Master."At this moment, he was suddenly called by name, and it took him a while to adjust.He was stunned for a moment, then glared with wide eyes, "You ha...
