Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 177 Pest Control "Magic Weapon"

Lin Chunyi immediately started making things up: "Hahaha, we happened to pass by a school and saw many children wearing the same clothes, so we were a little curious."

Lin Lanshan laughed and chimed in, "That's right! But it's all boys inside, so we just wanted to ask on a whim why there's no place for girls to go to school."

Since it was something with little hope, they didn't need to tell the truth and appear powerless, which would only make things awkward.

Yang Yu seemed to understand something, "So that's how it is..."

Since witnessing the prowess of his two masters, he no longer held the idea that women should be weak.

But he had lived in the county for eighteen years and had never heard of a girls' school anywhere.

After all, everyone knows that even if these girls go to school and study the Four Books and Five Classics, they won't be able to do anything.

Naturally, not many parents would be willing to spend that money to send their daughters to school, so girls' schools could not be established...

Lin Chunyi led the mule cart toward the courtyard gate. "Alright, we were just asking around, nothing else. It's getting dark, we need to hurry up and go."

As the two sisters reached the door, Yang Yu stepped forward, opened it, and stood by to see them off.

Suddenly remembering that the two of them had hunted quite a lot of game in the mountains a few days ago, Lin Chunyi stopped and casually said:

"The wild animals in the mountains have been moving around more frequently lately, looking for food. If you plan to go into the mountains, you must be careful."

Especially Ah Shu and Ah Hua, they're younger. If they're going to gather firewood or forage for wild vegetables, they should either stay at the foot of the mountain or go with a group of friends. Don't let them go up the mountain alone; it's very dangerous.

Spring hunting, summer planting, autumn hunting, winter hunting.

As winter approaches, not only do wild animals in the mountains need to forage for food to survive the winter, but the villagers at the foot of the mountain also choose this time to form hunting teams and go up the mountain to hunt.

One reason is to balance the ecosystem, and the other is to store more food.

This is winter hunting.

Yang Yu replied, "Yes, I've remembered it all! Take care, Masters."

The two boarded the mule cart and drove it out of his sight...

On the way up the mountain, Lin Lanshan drove attentively, while Lin Chunyi sat beside her with her arms crossed, lost in thought.

Lin Lanshan glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. "Sister, are you still thinking about Ahua going to school?"

She nodded, somewhat regretfully saying, "I finally convinced myself that this time I'm definitely going to do something really awesome."

Thinking about all sorts of things, I could almost picture Ahua facing off against a group of male students without flinching. Hey! And then this whole mess happens—a failed attempt, a premature end?

Luckily, I didn't ask Ahua too much beforehand. Otherwise, if she had been disappointed and looked at me with a sad or forced smile, I might have felt guilty for days!

Lin Lanshan blinked and smiled: "Times have changed, and there are some things we can't change. But we can go and take a look at Changsong Private School when we have some free time. You never know, right?"

"You're right. If there's really no hope, then we just have to let it go. There are plenty of intelligent people in the world who don't have the opportunity, and we can't afford to regret it."

Forget about that, things will work themselves out! I'd rather think about how we're going to spend the New Year this year!

The two became excited again when this was mentioned.

You chatted back and forth about what New Year's goods to buy and what new clothes to get.

"Sis, once we get the barbecue grill, we can have barbecue! Let's buy lots of pork belly and ribs and grill them until they sizzle and drip with oil!"

I actually wanted to eat grilled chicken feet and wings! Unfortunately, they only sell whole chickens here, not by weight.

"It's alright, there's still lamb... meat skewers, right?" Lin Lanshan went from being excited at the beginning to feeling a little disappointed halfway through, and by the end, her voice suddenly cracked.

She shoved the reins into her sister's hand and began fumbling around in her clothes, anxiously saying, "No, where's my big ball of paper?"

Lin Chunyi suddenly realized and finally remembered, letting out a soft sigh: "We really forgot about this completely!"

I thought I could just slip it into his hand and it would be fine, but I lost the note. Let's buy some walnuts another day!

At this moment, Lin Chunyi finally realized that the two sisters' memories were indeed not very good...

"I don't have it on me! Let me look inside the carriage, it might have fallen there." Lin Lanshan didn't have time to listen to her sister's complaints, she lifted the curtain and went inside to search everywhere.

"When I was tidying up the cushions and blankets, I didn't see the crumpled paper. Could it have been left in Yang Yu's yard?"

As soon as Lin Chunyi finished speaking, Lin Lanshan exclaimed in surprise:

"Found it! It's not lost! It fell into the gap between the two boxes!" Then he took out the crumpled note and showed it to his sister.

"Well, thankfully the crumpled paper didn't fall into their house, otherwise I would have had to put in a lot of effort to explain the paper, the handwriting, and the gel pen ink!"

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief; another day they had narrowly escaped trouble.

Lin Chunyi said, "Once we get the barbecue grill, we'll be able to think of grilling lamb skewers as soon as we see the grill, and then we'll definitely think of asking where we can buy fresh lamb and beef!"

"I can't guarantee I can remember things by heart. But I'm definitely good at making associations between food!" Lin Lanshan said.

She's been someone who, since she was little, would think of food whenever she saw white clouds!

When they returned home in their mule cart, it was already dark. The two tidied up quickly, ate dinner, and went to bed.

……

At the end of October,

The lush greenery on the mountain has long since turned yellow and withered, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the branches and leaves has turned into a crisp clattering sound.

The quilt inside was on, and I put on my cotton-padded coat.

In the vegetable garden outside the courtyard, weeds and insects are rampantly tormenting the tender green vegetables.

The two sisters got up very early and came to deal with them...

First, we'll unleash the "miracle weapon" for pest control!

Lin Chunyi called out, "Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, dinner's ready! There's meat for dinner today!"

"Goo!"

"Gah!"

"Uh-huh!"

She waved to send An'an, Kang Kang, and Taozi away, saying, "This is none of your business, go play somewhere else~"

then……

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan searched for and ate the insects on the vegetable leaves. The two sisters followed behind, squatting down and pulling out the weeds next to the vegetables.

Although the weather is cold now, these weeds and insects are much more resilient than those "listless" vegetables.

If you don't get rid of them for a few days, they'll sneak around and devour all the vegetables!

As Lin Lanshan walked to the newly planted potato field, she stood up, supporting her back. Her face was contorted with pain, like a mask of anguish.

"I can't take it anymore, I need to rest! Pulling these weeds has made my eyes see stars, my back is about to give out, and I can't feel my legs anymore!"

Lin Chunyi had almost finished dealing with what was in front of her, so she slowly got up.

"There weren't many weeds originally, but we planted more vegetables this year, and we've been so busy lately that we haven't had time to clean up, which is why there are so many weeds and insects left."

In the future, we shouldn't pile up things before doing them; it's too wasteful!
