Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Pitiful Child Killed by Uncle Bei (16)

It was getting dark, and the people working in the fields were gradually returning. Little Yuan Chun filled several large bowls with wild chicken stewed with potatoes and placed them in her space, then took a big bowl to Third Granduncle, Fifth Granduncle, the old village chief, and Second Granduncle’s family.

Lastly, she went to Cheng Fang’s house, carrying ten extra buns.

Cheng Fang had just returned from the fields and was about to boil water and cook some food when he heard a knock on the door.

Dragging his weary feet, Cheng Fang went to open the door.

Yuan Chun stepped in with a bright smile, ”Brother Cheng Fang, I brought you some food. You must be tired after a day of work.”

Cheng Fang was touched, his throat tightening a bit, ”Not too tired, really, I’ve gotten used to it.”

When you’re used to tiredness, you don’t really feel it anymore.

Besides, what’s a little fatigue? As long as he can eat his fill and not go hungry, he doesn’t mind being tired every day.

He closed the door and followed Yuan Chun into the main room.

Seeing a large bowl of meat dishes and ten big, round buns on the table, he was moved once again, ”Yuan Chun, I can eat anything; you don’t have to go out of your way to make meat dishes for me. Save your money for your studies in the future.”

”This isn’t bought; I caught the wild chickens myself.” Yuan Chun giggled, ”I got lucky; I caught one this morning and another in the afternoon. Brother Cheng Fang, take a seat; I’ll get the bowls and chopsticks. I haven’t eaten either, so I brought the food over to eat with you.”

Cheng Fang held her back, ”I’ll get them; you sit and wait.”

”Okay, Brother Cheng Fang.”

Yuan Chun was just about to get up but sat back down.

After that, Yuan Chun would go up the mountain every morning and return home in the afternoon. Then she would handle the game, washing, cutting, and curing it, and hanging it under the eaves to dry.

In the evening, she would prepare food and take it to Cheng Fang’s house to eat with him.

A month later, after the autumn harvest, she had accumulated over six hundred smoked chickens and rabbits in the Jade Gourd Space, along with more than a dozen unprocessed dumb deer, five wild deer, and thirty-six wild boars.

On the mountain, she encountered two groups of wild boars, one with eleven and the other with nine. Later, she specifically ventured into the deep mountains to find a boar’s nest, where she found sixteen more.

However, the wild boars were too large, and dealing with them was exhausting. She couldn’t expose herself, so she had to temporarily store them in the space to be taken out for consumption later.

A few days later, Eldest Uncle came by to tell her, ”Yuan Chun, in a few days, our village will need to submit grain to the granary. Tonight, we’ll come over to help you shell corn. Prepare two clean burlap sacks.”

”Uncle, I’ve already shelled them.” Yuan Chun flashed her white teeth in a smile, ”I shell them every day, and I’ve already filled two sacks full, enough for grain submission.”

Shelled corn at the time was done by hand, one by one, very slowly, and after a while, your hands would hurt.

Of course, Yuan Chun didn’t need to use her hands; she used her superpower to shell.

She transformed her spiritual power into countless shadowless claws, which delved into the pile of corn. Then, you could see countless corn cobs dancing up and down about a meter off the ground, as the kernels automatically separated and flew into the burlap sacks.

The clean corn cobs also automatically flew into the firewood room, neatly stacked.

Of course, she did all of this in the middle of the night. If it were done in broad daylight and someone saw, they might think she was a demon.

Eldest Uncle was quite surprised.

When he saw with his own eyes the two sacks of corn kernels and the neatly stacked corn cobs, Eldest Uncle praised her endlessly, ”Yuan Chun has grown up and can help with work now. Very good, very good. The daughters of the Liu Family must be diligent and hardworking from an early age; only then can they be well received in marriage.”

Uncle, I’m only seven years old.

Yuan Chun smiled shyly, ”It’s because Grandpa and Auntie taught me well.”

Aunties taught her a lot of work, but after the autumn harvest, she felt sorry for them working hard, so she didn’t let them accompany her to sleep at night anymore.
