Shao Jingheng turned sideways.

Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, he looked clearly at the little girl close at hand, and his indifferent thin lips unconsciously rose.

No one knew that when he woke up completely but didn't see her...

How panicked he felt.

He was afraid that something would happen if she went out alone, and he was also afraid that going out to look for her would cause her trouble. After thinking about it, he could only wait for her in the house.

he thought.

If she didn't come back after another half hour, he would go out to look for her.

Fortunately, she is back.

He finally felt at ease.

Just looking at her quietly like this, I don't know how much time passed before Shao Jingheng finally fell asleep in a daze.

Early next morning.

It was a good night last night. Today, the villagers all got up early and were busy with work. Some were preparing to cook, some were going out to chat, and some were preparing to sow seeds in the fields.

All in all, it was very lively.

Hua Xiaonian was awakened by the commotion outside, and subconsciously wanted to cover herself with a quilt and continue sleeping, but the voice of Donor Shao came to her ears.

"Get up and practice calligraphy!"

Shao Jingheng's child examination has been completed. Although the results have not been released yet, there is enough free time.

He was going to teach Hua Xiaonian how to read.

Hua Xiaonian refused.

Turning over, he quickly put the quilt over his head and continued to sleep.

Shao Jingheng couldn't laugh or cry.

Just as he was about to mutter a few words in her ear, he heard Hua Qingshan's voice suddenly coming from outside the door.

"Xiao Nian, are you up? My uncle wants to ask you something. Are you free now?"

Hua Qingshan holds a pepper seedling in his hand.

Behind him was Shi Pingan.

Xingshan Village has been merged with Anping Village, and the current village chief is Shi Ping'an. Hua Qingshan, the former village chief, has automatically retired.

But even so, Hua Qingshan still wanted to do more for the villagers.

The pepper seedlings they cultivated when they were fleeing the famine are now half-grown, and the village chief is wondering if they can be planted.

This morning he went to discuss it with Shi Pingan.

Shi Pingan was pleasantly surprised to hear that there were such good things as peppers, but he was worried about whether peppers could be grown here.

The two of them thought of coming over and asking.

Shi Pingan and Hua Xiaonian are not very familiar with each other, but Hua Qingshan is familiar with her.

That was when Hua Qingshan spoke.

The two of them walked into the courtyard while shouting, but because there were only female relatives inside, they didn't go back in and shouted in the courtyard.

Mrs. Wen learned of Hua Qingshan's intention to come and took the initiative to greet him.

"Two village chiefs, please wait a moment. That kid Xiaonian probably hasn't gotten up yet. I'm going to take a look."

The two of them were waiting outside.

Hua Xiaonian's head was about to explode.

Now being called by Donor Shao, and then by Donor Wen, she couldn't get up even if she didn't want to, so in the end she could only sit up with a grimace.

Just sit on the kang and grind for a while...

She finally got up too lazy to get up.

Shi Pingan and Hua Qingshan had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw her coming out, they both quickly stood up to greet her.

Hua Qingshan has dealt with Hua Xiaonian many times and knows the temper of this little ancestor.

He smiled and apologized to her for disturbing her so early, seeing that the little ancestor didn't look too ugly...

Then he continued.

"Xiao Nian, our pepper seedlings have grown to half size. Do you think they can be planted in our village?"

When Hua Xiaonian first came to Anping Village, she heard Mrs. Chen talk about the climate of Anping Village.

The spring here is very warm, the summer is hot but not too hot, the autumn is cool, and the winter is cool but not too cold.

Combined with the pepper planting season she read in the book given by her master.

It's quite appropriate.

She responded lazily, "Okay."

Hua Qingshan and Shi Ping'an were both excited when they heard this, but Hua Qingshan calmed down quickly and then asked about planting methods.

Hua Xiaonian took it out from the small bag.

Finally I took out the book given by Master.

I opened the page about pepper planting, read it carefully, and then started to explain it to the village elder and the benefactor.

Hua Qingshan and Shi Ping'an are both very young.

Although the two heard it now, they would have forgotten it later, so they asked Shao Jingheng next to them to help record it.

Shao Jingheng nodded in agreement.

The village chief was finally sent away, and breakfast at Wen's side was also ready.

Everyone had breakfast together.

When Li Shuangshuang was eating, she was winking at Shao Jingheng. She wanted Shao Jingheng to show off quickly.

They will all live separately from now on.

There aren't many times when we can have dinner together.

Today is a great opportunity for Donor Shao to show his courtesy.

Hurry up and give that little heartless guy some goodwill!

However, Shao Jingheng didn't even look at her during the entire meal, and silently picked up the rice with his own rice bowl.

Li Shuangshuang...

No wonder I can't catch up with your wife, she deserves it!

And on the village chief's side.

After Hua Xiaonian asked about the method of growing peppers, Shi Ping'an immediately summoned all the villagers in the village.

Normally at this time of year, every household would start planting corn and peanuts.

It’s time to plant some seeds this year.

But in the midst of this, Shi Ping'an asked everyone if anyone wanted to grow peppers?

Since no one had ever eaten chili peppers, he asked Hua Qingshan to come out and introduce what chili peppers were.

All the villagers in Xingshan Village have eaten chili peppers.

Everyone said they wanted to plant it.

Many villagers in Anping Village were hesitant, especially when they learned that raising seedlings would require money.

Wouldn't it be a waste if money was spent on something that has never been grown?

At this time, several villagers from Xingshan Village stood up.

These villagers were on their way to escape the famine. The village chief asked who wanted to raise seedlings, but they didn't have any.

Now I see the village chief and his pepper seedlings have grown to half size.

They were also moved.

"Village Chief, my family didn't have any money before, so we didn't have any seedlings. Yesterday, I cut some firewood and sold it to earn some money to raise seedlings."

"Please also ask the village chief to ask Miss Xiaonian for help!"

All the villagers in Xingshan Village knew that his family did not have seedlings. Now that he wanted to raise seedlings, other households that did not have seedlings also came forward to ask for them.

This made many villagers in Anping Village a little excited.

But it's not very expensive either.

Most people want a box of seedlings, so they can plant them first and see if the market goes well, then they can plant more.

Hua Qingshan asked his sons to register one by one, and then came to see Hua Xiaonian.
