Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 271: The Cellar is Completed

Following An Yue's instructions, the two men started digging the pit with hoes.

Daniu and Ale each dug a few grooves and finished them quickly.

An Yue pointed to the wood that had been placed aside and said, "Ale Daniu, you two can take these three pieces of wood in and use them as shelves."

Soon, the storage rack was put in place.

"Miss, do you think this is okay?"

An Yue nodded and said with a faint smile: "Next, prepare to seal the top cover."

Together they moved the last of the dirt out of the cellar and began work on the roof.

Da Niu and A'er pulled the wood one by one and placed it horizontally above the cellar.

Then, he took the chopped bamboo and spread it flat on the wood in a staggered manner, leaving an exit into the cellar.

A thick layer of wheat straw was laid on top of the bamboo.

After the wheat straw was laid out, some branches and bamboo branches were placed to press down the straw, and finally the soil was covered.

Daniu Ale used a scoop to scoop up the soil and poured it onto the top cover.

Time flies, and it is already You hour in a blink of an eye.

An Yue was sitting in the main hall drinking water, thinking about how to store food.

At this time, An Nian came back from school.

The gate to the courtyard was not closed. An Nian pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately saw An Yue sitting in the main hall.

So, he smiled and ran towards An Yue: "Sister, I'm back!"

An Yue looked at An Nian running towards her, so she picked up the kettle and poured him a bowl of boiled water.

An Nian ran to An Yue, and An Yue asked lovingly, "You've come all the way back, are you thirsty?"

An Nian hummed and untied the cloth bag slung over his shoulder, then sat on the bench on tiptoe, picked up the bowl and started drinking water.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." An Yue reminded An Nian and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from An Nian's forehead.

"Sister, guess who Niannian saw on the street today?" After drinking the water, An Nian put down the bowl, turned to An Yue and said.

"Uncle village chief?" An Yue asked with a smile.

An Nian shook his head in denial.

An Yue rolled her eyes and continued to guess, "Well, that's your sister Ke'er?"

An Nian was still shaking his head.

An Yue thought about it carefully and realized that An Nian didn't know many people, so she asked again: "Is that your grandfather or uncle?"

An Nian nodded and shook his head.

Seeing that her sister really couldn't guess, An Nian said, "It's my aunt."

This surprised An Yue a little, so she asked An Nian with a smile: "Did Niannian say hello to my aunt?"

An Nian shrank his neck, shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, my sister is not with Nian Nian. I dare not do that. Nian Nian is afraid. Besides, there is an old woman next to her."

After An Nian finished speaking, he couldn't help but pout.

An Yue gently pinched An Nian's cheek and coaxed, "Well, if Nian Nian doesn't want to say hello, then we won't say hello!"

After hearing this, An Nian immediately smiled like a fox: "Hehe, sister is so nice."

Only then did An Yue react to what An Nian said, and she couldn't help but think that her aunt Wei was now pregnant. Shouldn't she rest well at home?

And from what An Nian said, there was an old woman next to her?

The old woman is obviously not my grandmother, so who is this old woman?

"Niannian just said that there was an old lady following my aunt?"

An Nian scratched his neck and nodded.

An Yue was a little curious, and asked An Nian softly, "Where did Nian Nian see my aunt? And did Nian Nian recognize the old woman who followed my aunt?"

"They are the ones I saw on the main street just now after coming out of the school. The old woman following her was..." An Nian looked up at the beams of the roof thoughtfully, as if he didn't know how to express himself.

Seeing that An Nian was trying hard to recall, An Yue had no choice but to wait patiently for An Nian to continue.

Finally, An Nian answered innocently, "Anyway, I don't know how to address the old woman. I just remember that she is my aunt's mother."

"Oh, I see." After hearing what An Nian said, An Yue didn't care.

"Sister, I'm going back to the room to change clothes." An Nian said, jumped off the bench, picked up the cloth bag and ran to his room.

An Yue was thinking that she hadn't seen her grandparents and uncle for a long time and she missed them a little.

There has been severe drought everywhere recently, and I don’t know how the situation is there.

An Yue thought about it and decided that since there was nothing else to do at home, she might as well go see them when she had some free time.

At this time, Ale walked into the main hall from under the eaves and said, "Miss, the cellar has been sealed."

An Yue finally came to her senses and said with a smile, "Well, you've worked hard." She pointed to a bench beside her and said, "By the way, where's Daniu? Come sit over here and have a drink of water!"

"He's still washing his hands," Aller said as he sat down.

After a while, after washing his hands, Daniu swaggered into the main hall.

An Yue poured a bowl of water for each of them and said, "Now that the wheat has been harvested, we need to start threshing the grains. After threshing the grains, we need to quickly dry them and store them."

Daniu and Ale picked up the bowls filled with water and started drinking from them.

An Yue continued, "Also, tomorrow you two will go to town with me. We will buy a few large jars and put the wheat in the jars after it has been threshed and dried."

After they put down their bowls, they raised their hands to wipe the corners of their mouths and said at the same time: "Okay, Miss."

"Let's go to the fields and drive the ducks back. The sun is setting soon, and Chunzhi must be getting anxious waiting in the fields."

"Okay, good." Daniu and Ale quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

They came to the edge of the field and saw Chunzhi digging herbs on the edge of the field.

"Chunzhi, you are not only watching the ducks, but also cutting grass for the pigs and digging herbs. You never stop for a moment!" An Yue shouted to Chunzhi from afar.

Chunzhi heard that it was Anyue's voice, so she stood up and responded with a smile: "Miss is here! It's hot to just sit in the field, why not do something!"

Ba Shi looked at An Yue and the others coming over, and ran up to greet them, wagging its tail happily.

"Ba Shi, did you look at the duck carefully?" An Yue quickly squatted down and touched Ba Shi.

"Miss, Ba Shi is very well behaved. When he saw the ducks were about to go to someone else's field, he hurried to chase them back." Chunzhi praised Ba Shi to Anyue.

"Well, Ba Shi is so good!" An Yue happily held Ba Shi in her arms and stroked Ba Shi's head gently.

Then, the four of them began to surround the duck from all sides and slowly drove it back home.

The setting sun hides behind the western hills, and the sky is like a piece of dyed cloth, with colors of orange, light red, and all kinds of strange shapes.

Soon, the four people and the dog drove a group of ducks back to the pen.

At this time, everyone was looking at the ducks in the pen. The crop under the neck of each duck was bulging.

Ale smiled and said, "Today, we will drive them to the fields and let them have a feast of locusts."

After hearing this, An Yue raised her hands to cover her face and laughed:
