Goldfield
Chapter 150: Strange

Xiaocao had a general and an imperial envoy as his new godfather, but there were not many changes to his current lifestyle. He had always kept a low profile when performing actions, so no one in Dongshan Village knew that Yu Xiaocao had such a powerful godfather, except for the Yu Family in the old residence and the Zhao Family.

At first, Yu Hai and Madam Liu were still acting very carefully in front of General Fang. Then, under the influence of their daughter, they could also deal with her calmly. Now, everyone had treated the brave and unrestrained General Fang, who often came to eat in their homes, as a relative.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Under the warm weather and beautiful spring days, the vegetation in the Western Mountains exuded vitality. On the three plots of Xiaocao family farmland, the watermelon plant had elongated, and the green leaves looked as if they had been dyed. There are small, light yellow watermelon flowers on the melon vines. Some female flowers have given birth to small green watermelons.

Yu Xiaocao carried a small wooden bucket and held the spoon in his other hand. Yu Hang, who had recovered, carried the water on his not-so-wide shoulders and followed behind his little sister.

Xiaocao turned his head back and looked at the sweat beads on his elder brother's forehead. His heart hurts a little for him, “Sister, if you are tired, rest. I think we should borrow Uncle Zhou's wheelbarrow. We only need to do four or five trips and we will have enough money to water the watermelon fields. Had Dad not driven the donkey cart to the dock, we would not have had this problem! ”

“It's not a hassle. Doesn't that just bring a little water? Our buckets were all small sizes made especially by Dad, so how heavy was that bucket? This is much easier than when I had to move the wood! ” Yu Hang smiles at her little sister, and her handsome face shows a healthy glow as she carries water. A handsome young man!

“Aiyo! Isn't this Xiaosha and Xiaocao ?! Are you guys going to water the rice fields again? Tell Uncle Wang, what exactly are you planting in your fields? The flowers look so beautiful! ” Wang Ergou, who was forced by his wife to water the rice fields, asked with a smile.

There is a little rain this spring. Fortunately, there was a stream flowing through Dongshan Village, which flowed from the Western Mountains. Even in the dry season, the river rarely stops flowing. Therefore, the villagers in Dongshan Village had an easier time getting water and irrigating their farmland than the other villagers.

The brothers are familiar with his personality. If they hadn't told him, he would probably have gone back to visit their melon fields tonight. Although there was nothing that could be stolen at the moment, he would be depressed if he trampled on the melon seedlings.

With a sweet smile on his face, Xiaocao said, “Uncle Wang, our family grows watermelon, a kind of fruit. That's very valuable! The flowers are just starting to bloom now. Uncle Wang, your family lives closer, so please keep an eye on them. Don't let those bad boys hurt them! ”

Wang Ergou's eyes looked around, and then he nodded solemnly, “As a fellow villager, even if you don't ask me, I will still help you guys take care of them. Xiaocao, what does this watermelon look like? Does this taste good? Uncle Wang has never heard of it.. Aiyo, who twisted my ears? ”

He turned around and saw his family's tigress glaring at him with her hands on his waist. The anger on her face disappeared in an instant and she smiled flatly at him, “Wife, why are you pulling my ears? Am I not working now? I'm not lazy to work! ”

Ergou's wife looked at him from head to toe, and made him feel scared inwardly, before she said, “I know what you just defecated once you raised your ass! Tell me, why are you asking about their watermelon? What are your intentions Wang Ergou, I warned you! No matter how good someone else's stuff is, we shouldn't keep thinking about it! If you repeat your old habits, I'll take our baby back to my parents' house! I can't let you teach bad things to our baby !! ”

Wang Ergou immediately behaved well. He nodded his head obediently and promised, “Wife, look at you! I just want to know what a watermelon is like. What other thoughts will I have? Rest assured! I have changed! I really changed !! ”

Wang Ergou was almost thirty years old when he finally got married. They have been married for almost five years, but there is still no good news. Recently, his wife had spewed out everything he ate and made him very frightened. Doctor You was away with his grandson and he did not trust Xiaocao's medical skills, so he borrowed a cart and took his wife to a doctor in the city.

The old doctor checked his pulse and immediately told him that he was going to be a father. She is so happy because she laughs like a fool and shows off whenever she sees someone, “My wife is pregnant! I'm going to be a father! ” Ergou's wife was so embarrassed that she pinched the meat on her waist until it bruised.

When they returned, Wang Ergou treated his wife like she was a Bodhisattva, and would do his best to get whatever his wife wanted to eat. By the time Ergou's wife had morning sickness, she had almost thrown away everything she had eaten. He vomited so much that he would spit out his entrails.

Fortunately, when Yu Xiaocao found out about it, he sent them some packets of vegetables, cucumbers, and tomatoes. At that moment, Wang Ergou even muttered in his heart that the Yu Family is stingy, giving others the vegetables that every family has. Unexpectedly, after his wife ate the tomatoes, her morning sickness seemed to suddenly disappear and she ate everything deliciously.

But, after Ergou's wife finished off the vegetables the Yu Family had sent, she languished again. Ergou's wife was also a diligent person. They also grow cucumbers in their vegetable fields, let alone green leafy vegetables. However, nothing matched his appetite and morning sickness started again!

Wang Ergou hurriedly went to the Yu Residence and bought tomatoes, cucumbers, and some vegetables. The Yu Family products were always two or three times more expensive than other sellers. But, since they were neighbors, not only did the Yu Family not ask him to pay a higher price, but they also sold vegetables at a cheaper price than ordinary sellers. So Wang Ergou and his wife were very grateful.

Ergou's wife's pregnancy became more pronounced now. After the morning sickness completely stopped, his weight went back up which he had previously lost. Ergou's competent wife could usually handle the watering of all their family farmland by herself. However, it was an important period for him right now. So, how could Wang Ergou possibly be willing to let his wife do the heavy work? Therefore, he gritted his teeth and took over the task while patting his chest.

The Yu Family's friendly sentiment in giving and selling vegetables was something Ergou's wife deeply remembered in her heart. How could she let her husband have malicious intentions? Recently, the best threat was to say that she would return to her parents' house with their baby. It works every time! Sure enough, her husband swore and guaranteed her, and acted very obediently.

Yu Xiaocao watched the interaction between the strange couple. It seemed like the two were constantly fighting, but their feelings for each other were deep and strong. Rather than saying that Wang Ergou was afraid of his wife, it was better to say that he loved her very much. He likes to fight with her, but she still acts as his wife wishes.

Xiaocao and his elder brother waved at the couple and arrived at their family's melon farm. Looking at the green vines and the small spots of yellow flowers in the fields, he felt as if he could see a large and round watermelon waving his hands at him.

Yu Hang bent his knees to place the bucket on the ground steadily. Then he placed the bearer pole in his hand and took the spoon in Xiaocao's hand. He was about to go watering the rice field, but he was stopped by his youngest sister.

Under the questioning gaze of his elder brother, Yu Xiaocao took the water from his own bucket and poured it into the bucket that Yu Hai was carrying. After pouring a spoonful of water into both buckets, he told Yu Hang, “Alright, you can water the fields now!”

Yu Hang felt puzzled as he looked at Xiaocao's bucket and gently asked, “Young sister, is there anything special with your water-filled bucket? Why do you always pour a spoonful when we water the fields? ”

Yu Xiaocao looked around and then he cheated, “Sst! Don't be so hard !! This is my man-made fertilizer that can fertilize the soil! It is thanks to this fertilizer that our family had a high sweet potato crop last year! ”

“Oh so! youngest brother, you know a lot. You even know how to make a pot. If this formula could be published, then it would definitely benefit a lot of people! ” He did not expect that Yu Hang could potentially become a saint. No way! He must immediately destroy this quality!

Xiaocao looked even more mysterious as he approached him and whispered, “This type of fertilizer is made with a celestial object given by the God of Fortune. When the God of Fortune gave it to me, he specifically warned that, as an ordinary human, using a celestial object would definitely deplete a certain amount of my vital energy. So, it should not be used often. Otherwise, it would cause damage to the body! ”

As soon as Xiaocao's health was involved, Yu Hang instantly changed his mind, “Since the use of celestial objects can harm your body, then don't use them anymore! Improving results is not important! Your health, which gets better after many hardships, is of the utmost importance. ”

“It's okay. I tried it! As long as I don't use it excessively, it won't do much harm to my body. I'm just gonna feel a little tired! ” Yu Xiaocao continued to fabricate his white lie.

After hearing that, Yu Hang finally felt relieved and bowed to water the melon field. But he kept saying, “In the future, try to use as little as — by the way, what kind of celestial objects do you mention?”

Yu Xiaocao panicked for a moment and then looked at the increasingly dazzling colorful stone on his wrist. He calmed down and said, “Here! This is a heavenly stone! ”

Yu Hang looked at it and vaguely remembered that this multicolored little stone seemed to appear after his youngest sister was injured and fell into a coma. He became a little more convinced and laughed, “I think this is a beautiful stone that you took in the mountains, so it turns out that it is a divine treasure. You have to keep it properly and don't let the bad guys steal it! ”

“It is useless even if someone steals it! The celestial body will recognize its owner, so it will return on its own even if it is stolen! ” Yu Xiaocao raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly on his face.

After hearing his words, Yu Hang finally felt relieved and sincerely praised, “Treasure!”

[Of course! This Divine Stone was a heavenly stone melted down by Goddess Nuwa for a total of forty-nine days, which she had kept by her side for a long period of time. The most precious treasure in the world!!] The little holy stone turned into a little golden kitten and appeared on Xiaocao's shoulder from the air, with a proud expression.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and lowered his head and said, [Ay, I wonder if Goddess Nuwa will be lonely without me by her side. Without me, the monotonous period of seclusion from Goddess Nuwa would be very boring.].

Yu Xiaocao stroked her little head and whispered, “Then, you need to help me again. You should strive to recover your spiritual power early, get out of the void, and return to the side of Goddess Nuwa. ”

[I want to too! But your life is so peaceful that there is not much I need to help! How much improvement can I make when I only need to produce water from mystic stone every day?] There was a slight sense of dissatisfaction in the tone of the little god stone. He jumped off Xiaocao's shoulder and ran around in the watermelon fields.
