The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.
Chapter 244 I'm Going to Dig Too
"Grandpa Village Chief, Grandma Liu, what are you all doing here?" Ya Ya rubbed her eyes, followed by her two little tails, Xiao Douzi and Xiao Shuanzi, as she strolled over.
"We're looking at this newly built cement wall to see if the cement is strong enough. If it works well, we can use it to build a septic tank."
Grandma Liu lowered her head and carefully explained to Ya Ya.
"Yes, we'll go dig after we eat. Now that everyone lives together, it'll be easier to dig the pond," Dr. Chen said with a smile.
The book has ready-made pictures, so you can't go wrong digging by following the pattern. There are also samples of the sewage pipes mentioned in the book. If you need them, you can go to that area to get them. Yesterday, he used a small stick to draw the location of the pool.
The effect of the cement will be clear in a few days, which will allow for a proper time schedule.
A septic tank? A place to put poop? Are we going to rebuild the smelly toilet? Build a clean, white toilet like the one over there?
Ya Ya's eyes lit up.
"Then I'll go dig too!"
Little Shuanzi, who was behind him, only heard about digging, and immediately jumped up excitedly, puffing out his little belly: "Shuanzi's going to dig too!"
Little Bean followed silently behind Ya Ya, going wherever Ya Ya went.
Seeing the three little ones' excited expressions, Dr. Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, come on, many hands make light work, and digging a hole will be more fun."
Grandma Liu looked at Ya Ya and asked softly, "Little girl, aren't you planning to go there this morning?"
Ya Ya tilted her little head and thought for a moment. The shoes that Sister He Miao wanted hadn't even finished getting the hay yet, and there wasn't anything else she particularly wanted to buy. Grandpa Fang had also bought a lot of canned food and snacks when he went there.
Moreover, Grandpa Fang hadn't mentioned going to buy cement or anything like that, and there was no plan yet on how much to buy. He immediately shook his head, "I'm not going. I'm staying here to help dig the pit. The sooner we dig it out, the less we'll have to go into the pit."
Grandma Liu laughed. It's digging a pond, not building a house. Even if you dig one, you still have to go to the pit. The little girl probably misunderstood.
She had also heard about the "toilets" there, which were clean and hygienic, with boxes and water dispensers that could be turned on by pressing a button, and the toilets were all spotless.
But how could they possibly make such a thing?
Just as I was about to explain to Ya Ya, I suddenly heard two panicked exclamations coming from the cellar not far away:
"Ouch!"
"My God!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat; it sounded like Chun Tao and Grandma Liu's voices.
"What happened? Did Granny Liu fall in the cellar?"
Granny Li hurried towards the cellar, and the crowd followed behind her.
Dr. Chen, fearing the old woman might have fallen and walked quickly, followed Granny Li down into the cellar, exclaiming, "Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
Two more gasps of surprise rang out.
The village chief and Fang Tiesheng then remembered Nannan's heroic act the night before.
Ji Chuntao and Grandma Liu stood at the bottom of the cellar steps, their legs slightly weak, staring in shock at the pile of grain before them.
They knew that Nannan would always bring something new to replenish the cellar, and there would be some new changes every day, but no one told them that this time the change would be so big!
A pile of bagged grains, a small mountain of fresh pork, and a box of processed chicken...
Granny Li and Doctor Chen, who followed, also leaned against the wall, their faces filled with shock.
"Where...how did so much food suddenly appear?"
At this point, the people behind also came down one after another, crowding at the entrance of the cellar and peering inside. They were all stunned when they saw the scene inside.
Ya Ya squinted her curved eyes, a hint of pride on her little face: "Aunt Chun Tao, Grandma Liu, aren't I amazing? I bought all this yesterday, it's almost filled the cellar!"
Ji Chuntao finally came to her senses and gently patted her chest. Hearing Ya Ya's voice, she turned around and saw that the cellar entrance was crowded with people.
"Wow, our little girl is so capable!"
"Yes, she's so capable! Buying so much food, how can she possibly finish it all? And all this meat will go bad if we don't eat it all!" Grandma Liu exclaimed repeatedly.
Ji Chuntao remembered Ya Ya's magical space, "Nannan, why don't we put away this minced meat? We can't finish it all in a short time, and it might spoil if we leave it for too long."
Ya Ya thought for a moment, "Then I'll take out two pieces of meat and a chicken every day, okay, Auntie? Let's cook more meat every day."
Da Niu sidled up, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the pile of meat: "Great! Great! Give me more! I can eat as much as you want!"
He hasn't had a proper meat meal since he came back, let alone when he was away. He was incredibly envious of the meat the villagers ate.
Fang Tiesheng gently patted him, and Doctor Chen glared at him, saying, "Still want to eat meat? Your injuries haven't healed, and your digestive system isn't ready. You can't indulge in meat right now!"
Da Niu immediately wilted, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Ji Chuntao looked at the mountain of meat. She only used half a piece at most for one meal a day, which was usually chopped or sliced thinly, just enough for everyone to have a little meat flavor. Now that the amount had increased three or four times, she was a little unsure how to proceed.
"Daughter, you can't eat too much meat every day. There are only 25 people in our village right now. Two pieces a day is just right. We eat one chicken every two days. Put the rest away. Don't leave them out, they'll spoil."
Ya Ya nodded obediently. "Grandpa Chen is a doctor. I'll listen to Grandpa Chen."
Then she tilted her little face up and said softly, "Grandpa Chen, I also brought back a lot of corn. I thought that you, Brother Da Niu, and Sister Xinghua hadn't tried it yet, so I brought it back especially. The corn is sticky and sweet, it's so delicious!"
Everyone else in the village has tried it; the grandparents and grandmothers all love it. But Brother Da Niu is injured, so what you eat is different from what we eat. Can you eat this corn?
As she spoke, Ya Ya moved her little hand and pulled out a steaming hot glutinous corn cob from her space.
The warm, sweet aroma of grains wafted from the yellow stalk in Ya Ya's hand, drifting gently through the cellar.
Dr. Chen was slightly taken aback at first, then took the yellow stick from Ya Ya's hand.
Da Niu sniffed hard, his eyes fixed on the yellow corn in Dr. Chen's hand. It was another novel food he had never seen before. Corn? Sweet corn?
Dr. Chen gently broke off a corn kernel, pinched it between his fingertips, and then put it in his mouth to savor its taste.
Xinghua, standing nearby, was also full of curiosity, tiptoeing to look in this direction.
After carefully tasting it, Dr. Chen nodded slowly under the expectant gazes of Da Niu and Xing Hua: "It is mild and palatable. You can try it. Cook it in rice porridge until it is very soft and mushy. It is best to remove the thin outer skin."
He paused, then looked at Ji Chuntao, "Let Da Niu and the others do the peeling themselves. If they want to eat it, they can make it themselves. Chuntao, don't bother with that. Don't spoil them in everything."
"Aunt Chuntao, I can do it myself. I know how to peel them! You can rest a bit." Da Niu immediately perked up when he heard this.
Seeing Da Niu's energetic spirit, Ji Chuntao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll cook you a bowl of corn kernels later."
