Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 213 Waiting for the Queen Bee

He smiled and said to An Yue: "Miss, you should be hungry by now, right?"

An Yue rubbed her belly and nodded repeatedly: "Chunzhi, you understand me, but how did you know I was here?"

"Chunzhi saw that there was no beehive at home, so she guessed that you must have come here." Chunzhi said as she took out two bowls from the backpack.

She opened the lid of the small bowl and saw rice and vegetables in the big bowl.

When An Yue saw the big bowl of food, she happily hugged Chunzhi's arm and said with great emotion: "Wow! My dear Chunzhi! I love you so much. I am just about to go home for dinner."

Chunzhi smiled from ear to ear. She handed the chopsticks to An Yue and said, "Miss, you are hungry. Come and eat!"

An Yue took the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and started wolfing down the food.

After swallowing a mouthful of rice, he said, "I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger." After saying that, he put more food into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

"Miss, please eat slowly, or you will choke." Chunzhi kindly reminded An Yue as she saw her eating too quickly.

After a while, An Yue finished her meal.

He rubbed his full stomach, burped, and said with a smile: "It really fits the old saying; 'Man is iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.'"

Chunzhi didn't say anything, but just smiled and put away the empty dishes.

An Yue turned her head to look at the beehive and found that the bees began to fly around the beehive, and seemed to be very interested in the sugar water.

An Yue was pleasantly surprised when she saw this scene.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart: [It seems that the bee-luring plan is promising. ]

Then, she tiptoed towards the beehive and carefully observed the movements of the bees inside.

Chunzhi was a little worried and reminded her softly, "Miss, be careful and don't get stung by them."

An Yue smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, the bees are still very docile, they will not take the initiative to attack."

Sure enough, a bee hovered in front of An Yue for a while and then flew back to the hive.

An Yue smiled and said to Chun Zhi, "The next step is to wait for the queen bee to move in."

"Miss, how long do we have to wait before we can take the beehive away?"

"I discovered it a few days ago. This is the old nest. There are so many of them that they will split up every once in a while. We have to wait for the new queen bee to move in before we can take her home."

As time went on, more and more bees were attracted and the colony began to grow.

The sun gradually sets, and the afterglow shines on the beehive, allowing people to clearly see the little bees flying back and forth around the beehive.

An Yue and Chun Zhi gently moved the beehive next to the old nest, which was covered with ferns. This made it difficult for people to notice and the bees could easily find the beehive.

After placing them, An Yue and Chun Zhi smiled at each other, and then they tiptoed to where the backpack was placed.

They picked up their backpacks and walked towards the open space not far away.

When they arrived at the open space, An Yue and Chun Zhi squatted down together to cut grass for the pigs.

The two men saw that it was already late, so they cut grass for the pigs much faster.

Soon, their backpacks were filled with pig feed.

They each carried a basket full of pig feed and started heading home.

The two returned to the door of their house panting and found An Nian standing outside the gate of the yard with a book in his hand, waiting for them to come back.

An Yue asked from afar: "When will Nian Nian arrive home?"

An Nian, who was reading a book, turned around and saw that his sister and Chunzhi had returned. He quickly put away the book in his hand.

He ran forward to get the key to open the gate and replied, "Niannian just got home too. Sister, where have you been? Why are you cutting so many weeds?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain behind."

After the gate of the yard opened, Ba Shi saw everyone coming back and happily jumped back and forth at the feet of the three girls.

After returning to the yard, An Yue and Chun Zhi both put the backpacks in the yard.

An Yue hadn't had any water for most of the day. After putting down the backpack, she hurried to wash her hands and then went to the main hall to drink water.

Chunzhi was in the yard, taking off the apron around her waist and brushing the weeds off her body, while Annian went straight back to his room to change clothes.

After a while, the three of them sat in the yard to take a short rest.

"Sister, Niannian will have a ten-day holiday tomorrow. Is there anything at home that needs your help?" An Nian asked while holding Ba Shi.

An Yue held her chin and rolled her eyes in thought: "Well, my sister plans to plant flowers and trees tomorrow."

"Plant flowers and trees?" When An Nian and Chunzhi heard An Yue say that she wanted to plant flowers, they both said in surprise in unison.

"Yes, what's the matter? Why are you so surprised?" An Yue asked them with a confused look on her face.

"Miss, our back mountain is so big. We have everything you need on the mountain. Do we still need to plant flowers?" Chunzhi asked in confusion.

"Ah! No matter how many and how beautiful the flowers on this mountain are, we can't see them every day! But the flowers in the garden can be seen at any time, and the flowers I want to plant are very special."

"So what kind of flowers do you plan to plant, sister?" An Nian asked curiously.

"Plant green pepper trees and roses."

The three of them sat in the yard and began to discuss the arrangements for planting flowers and trees tomorrow.

......

Not long after, the sweat on the faces of the three people sitting in the yard had dried up.

After the discussion, they started to prepare dinner.

An Yue pointed to the pig grass that had just been cut in the yard and said, "Chunzhi, you cut these pig grasses, and then go to the kitchen with your sister to prepare dinner."

The evening breeze passed, night was approaching, and stars began to appear in the sky.

After the family had dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen, washed up, and went back to their rooms one by one and lay down on their own beds.

As the night became quieter, they closed their eyes and fell asleep, finally ending their day's work.

The next day.

An Nian didn't have to go to school, so everyone slept a little longer.

It was already bright in the yard and everyone got up.

Chunzhi yawned, washed her face and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

An Nian rubbed his eyes, followed An Yue happily, went to the east ear room to help An Yue, and put the silkworms into another winnowing basket.

In the past few days, the silkworms' appetite has increased dramatically, and of course, they have grown very fast as well.

In just two days, it’s time to divide the winnowing baskets again.

"Sister, they look so cute! They are still chewing on mulberry leaves."

An Yue smiled softly and asked, "Are you afraid of them, Niannian?"

"I'm not afraid of it every year." As he said that, An Nian reached out and picked up a silkworm and played with it in his hand.

An Yue turned around and saw An Nian playing with silkworms. She quickly stopped him and said, "Niannian, put them down quickly. If you play with them for any longer, they will die."

After hearing what An Yue said, An Nian had no choice but to put it down.

"So if they keep eating, won't their stomachs get bloated?"
