The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 708: Chapter 708 Dahu and Sanya are not there Chapter 708: Chapter 708 Dahu and Sanya are not there Finally, after the registration was completed, Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief.

She tidied up and prepared to go home to sleep. In fact, besides the Land-clearing Team and the Hunting Team, there were others with different tasks, such as the musicians at the music center.

Their return times were uncertain; they had gone somewhere to perform yesterday and hadn’t come back. Therefore, specific old women looked after them, sparing them from having to report to the Manor at set times.

Shu Yu locked up the register and greeted Wang Changdong, “Brother Wang, I’m heading back now. If you need any help with anything, just send someone to call for me.”

“Alright, you go on,” Wang Changdong, stifling a yawn, was also very sleepy and planned to take a nap.

Shu Yu washed her hands and then left the Manor.

Aunt Fang also left at the same time. Now, she had a lot more free time. Once she had finished making breakfast, there wasn’t much for her to do, as specific old women would take care of the washing up and the stove.

She could go home to take care of Father Fang, do some laundry, and tidy up the house. She had about an hour of free time for herself. By 9 a.m., she would return to the Manor to start preparing the meals.

She even said to Shu Yu, “Once things settle down here, I’ll also raise a few chickens that can lay eggs. That way, I can give Xiyue a good nourishment. By the way, where did you catch your chickens?”

The chickens at home were raised by the old lady. She originally wanted to raise a pig too, but Shu Yu did not agree, fearing it would be too tiring for her, so she had to abandon that idea.

“Our chickens were caught by my brother in the county town. They were four months old when we got them and are not yet able to lay eggs. If Aunt Fang wants to buy chickens that can lay eggs right now, we can go to the county town to look for some during Fang Xiyue’s day off.”

“Alright, thank you for that.”

Talking along the way, the two of them parted when they were close to home.

When Shu Yu entered her house, the old lady and the two children had already eaten. Since Shu Yu had not specified when she would return, the old lady kept her meal warm in the pot.

Shu Yu peeled an egg to eat, and the rest continued to be kept warm.

“Grandmother, from now on I’ll eat breakfast at the Manor, so you don’t have to wake up so early.”

Upon hearing her plan, the old lady was quite happy. It was certainly best that there was breakfast at the Manor, otherwise, she would definitely be hungry after finishing her work before returning home.

She quickly ushered Shu Yu back to her room, “Okay, I’ve noted what you said, go get some sleep now.”

Shu Yu was indeed feeling a bit sleepy, probably because she had been waking up later those previous days and had gotten used to it, waking up early just didn’t feel like enough sleep.

Shu Yu smiled, said hello to her younger brother and sister, and went back to her room.

But, as she had enough sleep, she awoke after just a half-hour.

She lay in bed for a moment, then sat up, got out of bed, washed her face, and soon realized that only the old lady was at home; Sanya and Dahu were nowhere to be seen.

At this time of day, Dahu should be in the room reading books and teaching Sanya how to read. Now, there was no one about.

The old lady wouldn’t let them go out alone. They had just arrived at Righteous Dao Village and didn’t know many people. It was an unfamiliar place, with many criminals around; the old lady would never feel comfortable letting such small children go out by themselves.

However, when Zhao Xi was around, he would take them out to gather firewood or catch fish, play around, and then come back.

Shu Yu approached the old lady, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, and asked, “Grandmother, where are Dahu and Sanya? I haven’t seen them around.”
