I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 228 Ziyuan's Supplies

She collected the broken pieces of the pottery jar and took them to the bushes nearby, then used the technique of turning waste into treasure. With a glimmer of light that was easily overlooked, the broken pieces were reassembled to form a somewhat old pottery jar.

For fear of arousing suspicion, she chose to restore it to its 70% to 80% new state, with signs of use.

She shouted in surprise, attracting their attention, and they all asked what was wrong.

Zhang Chengyuan took out an old pottery jar from the bushes and showed it to them: "I found a jar."

As she spoke, she took the jar and put it in the river to clean it: "We will use it to catch fish later."

When everyone saw that there was nothing to eat, they all stopped caring and continued to grope in the river.

Zhang Chengyuan filled a jar with water and placed it on the shore, and continued to stare at the river.

People here are too poor, so her skill of turning trash into treasure is basically useless.

As she sighed, she reached her hand into the river from time to time to catch some fish fry.

She almost thought that she would return empty-handed today, but Liu Ya shouted, "I caught a fish."

She looked over and didn't know when the basket was in Liu Ya's hands. She was staring at the basket with a bright smile, extremely happy.

Erbao leaned over to take a look and found that it was a fish as long as his forearm. He couldn't help but feel happy as he knew he would have meat to eat.

Erbao kindly took the basket and brought it ashore. Zhang Chengyuan helped put the fish into the jar. They continued fishing, and their interest was much greater than before.

But she didn't find it for a long time. She yawned and felt a little sleepy: "Brother, let's go back. I'm sleepy."

They did not refuse when they heard it and all came to the shore. After searching for so long, they were disappointed.

Zhang Chengyuan walked back holding sister Wu Ya's hand. Brother Erbao held the jar of fish, and brother Da carried the basket. They walked back home under the bright moonlight.

The adults in the yard were still waiting, and only went back to their rooms when they saw them come back.

After the midnight settlement, she fell asleep peacefully.

When Zhang Chengyuan woke up early the next morning, he first put the fish in the garden in order before getting up.

Sister Da Ya and the others had just gotten up and were combing their hair. She sat down next to Sister Er Ya without any hesitation, waiting for her to comb her hair with peace of mind.

Sister Erya combed her hair skillfully, and it was obvious that this was not the first time.

She followed her second sister to wash her face, and then they went to cook while she went to feed the rabbits. When passing by the chicken coop, she remembered the pheasant eggs she had hatched before. She didn't know if they had hatched, so she had to go to the main room to check later.

After feeding the rabbits, she went back and emptied the chicken coop. There was not a single egg in it. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the hen that didn't lay eggs.

It can neither lay eggs nor sit in a nest. Not only is it useless, it also eats a lot and poops everywhere.

In this case, we might as well eat it and give it to everyone to replenish their bodies.

The hen being stared at seemed to sense the malicious intent and ran away.

Zhang Chengyuan jumped and ran to wait for his grandmother, because she was going to let go of the gossip and eat the hen today.

She didn't have to wait long before the target person appeared. She flew over and quickly grabbed his legs. This move was so smooth and absolutely useful.

"Grandma, how long will it take for the chicks to hatch? I just went to the backyard to feed the rabbits and dug out the chicken coop. The hen didn't lay any eggs. Shall we eat it?" Grandma's good mood in the morning disappeared in an instant. She tried to pull her away while cursing, "Didn't we just eat meat yesterday? Why are you eating it again? You greedy girl, do I need you to eat or to wear? You keep thinking about those three chickens all day long. Eat, eat, eat, or you can eat me..."

She was not discouraged at all and continued to gossip: "Grandma, that chicken is useless. It doesn't lay eggs but eats a lot. The most important thing is that it poops everywhere. Every time I go to the backyard, it's easy to step on chicken poop..."

"Are you blind? Can't you pay attention to the chicken shit..."

Zhang Chengyuan continued: "Grandma, how about we wait until the chicks hatch and then eat them? Grandma, you guys have been working so hard lately, you need to nourish your body. Grandma, you are the backbone of our family, you have to stay healthy."

Grandma thought about it and it was not an impossible idea. They had been working under the scorching sun for a while and really needed to eat something good to replenish their body. They couldn’t dare to overwork themselves, as that would cost more than just one chicken.

Thinking of this, she agreed reluctantly, but she still couldn't help muttering to herself.

But Zhang Chengyuan didn't care at all, as long as the food got better a little bit.

At this moment, Brother Dabao was already moving the sorghum out. The family had harvested a lot of sorghum during this period, but had not had time to process it yet. She would go over and get a handful of sorghum to make seeds and plant them in the garden.

She had previously cut a potato into egg-sized pieces and planted them in the seed garden, and now they have sprouted.

In addition to the crops, soybeans, peppers, cabbages, radishes and other crops are now planted in the garden, waiting to mature.

I heard from my mother that after a while, when the sorghum is harvested, it will be time to harvest corn, and then we can get a handful of corn for seeds.

She is somewhat of a collector, and seeing more and more supplies gives her a sense of satisfaction.

Sitting on her own little stool by the wall, she supported her face and watched Dabao and the others busying around. They had harvested a lot of sorghum, and each ear was very full.

The yard, which seemed quite large, became crowded in an instant once it was occupied by sorghum.

What's more, these sorghums are not spread out to dry, but are dried vertically in bundles.

When Sister Daya shouted the first sentence, she rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind. She tiptoed to see what to eat today. When she found that it was still the usual wild vegetable porridge, her appetite immediately lost its appetite.

She almost turned green from eating wild vegetable porridge for every meal, but she had to not eat it, so she simply took the bowl and ate it first, and then gave some to Sibao and Wubao later.

As for the fish caught yesterday, grandma pickled it with salt, saying that she wanted to dry it into jerky to eat later.

After dinner, she followed Sister Daya and the others to thresh the sorghum manually.

They asked Dabao and his friends to bring out a huge wooden basin from the house, and they brought stools and sat around the basin.

Each person picked five or six sorghum ears, put them together and smashed them against the inner wall of a wooden basin, causing the sorghum grains to fall off through the force of constant impact.

It may feel fun at first, but after a long time, your waist, hands and arms will ache.

While helping, Zhang Chengyuan kept an eye on Brother Dabao and the others. She planned to go with them to collect grass for the pigs and firewood later.

It hadn't rained for some time, and almost all the mushrooms had been picked. She could only occasionally dig up some wild vegetables, so she could only help by collecting grass for the pigs and firewood.

But it's not that she can't cheat. Many of the rabbits in the garden have given birth to six or seven litters. She can sneak one out to eat.

It was just the meat we ate yesterday. If we take the meat back today, it will be just like last night, where it will be left behind and we won’t be able to eat it at all.

After thinking this way, she had no choice but to give up the idea and work honestly. She thought to herself that she should continue to keep the rabbits in the garden as they could give birth to more rabbits.
