Chapter 53 Looking for the Spring

Li Zheng looked at Shen Qingyu: "Qingyu, you have a good brain. Do you have any ideas?"

The men's eyes lit up instantly and they all looked at Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu spread his hands: "Uncle, I just have a good brain. I'm not a thunder god or a lightning lady. It rains with just a click."

Too.

Everyone drooped their heads again.

One of them muttered: "The price of food in the town has gone up again. Miscellaneous grains cost ten cents per catty. The price dropped to eight cents per catty before and I didn't buy it. I thought it could go down further. Now it's better..."

Has the price of miscellaneous grains increased again?

Shen Qingyu was shocked.

But then she couldn't be happy anymore.

If there is no rain, crops will die from drought, rivers will dry up, and people will not be able to survive, and riots will easily occur.

At this time, the rich are the first to suffer.

I'm just afraid that my family, which has no worries about food and drink, will become the target of public criticism!

Shen Qingyu thought for a while and then gave a possibility: "Uncle Li Zheng, do you think we can find a spring in the back mountain?"

Uncle Li Zheng took two puffs of dry smoke and shook his head: "This is a good idea. But our stream originally came from a spring. Now that the flow has stopped, who knows where to dig the spring?"

Can't we dig all over the mountain?

Shen Qingyu thought about it, nodded, and then felt worried.

In this current situation, it would be too Versailles to ask others to help you repair your house.

Shut up and go home.

Xiao Yunqi came back early in the afternoon. The children had finished studying and doing housework, and they all ran to hug their laps.

"Daddy!"

"Dad, you're back!"

"Dad, I miss you so much..."

The three children used their own talents and acted like a baby in various ways.

Xiao Yunqi took out an oil paper bag from his arms, which contained snacks bought at Raffles.

The eldest brother likes to eat beef tongue cake, and the second and third children both like to eat peach cakes.

After getting their favorite food, the triplets cheered: "Yeah! Daddy is so good!"

"Dad is the best to me! He knows that I love peach cakes!"

"Dad likes me the most."

"Childish." Dabao rolled his eyes and calmly took a bite of the beef tongue pancake.

"Dad, do you like me the most?" Erbao pestered Xiao Yunqi and wouldn't let go.

Xiao Yun didn't want to be fooled. While rubbing the top of her head, he said warmly: "I like them all."

"I want you to like me the most!" Erbao was rubbed so hard that his eyes narrowed, but he was still stubborn.

Xiaobao pouted: "Daddy likes me too! Dad also touches my head!"

Xiao Yunqi's other hand was forced to open again and rubbed Xiaobao's head.

Xiaobao shrank his neck in satisfaction like a cat, and his mouth was pouted.

Dabao looked at the expressions of his two younger brothers and sisters, and leaned a little closer to Xiao Yunqi, with desire in his eyes but no words in his mouth.

Xiao Yunqi was considerate and reached out to rub Dabao's head.

Dabao was satisfied now and walked away with the beef tongue cake with a nonchalant expression.

The two cubs each took peach cakes and walked away talking and laughing.

Shen Qingyu was in a daze when she saw the scene in front of her.

When did Xiao Yunqi start bringing things for his children every time he came back from outside?

Gradually, the children began to look forward to Xiao Yunqi's return. They were extremely enthusiastic every time they greeted him. Erbao and Xiaobao would hug each other's thighs and ask for touches in various ways.

Is he finally realizing that he is the father of three children?

How rare!

Shen Qingyu chuckled lightly, with a hint of ridicule.

Xiao Yunqi saw Shen Qingyu smile and instantly felt that he had made a wise choice by bringing some snacks to the children every day!

Wen Che saw their little expressions and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Qingyu's contempt is not subtle.

But why does Xiao Yunqi think that kind of smile is appreciation?

The pride is written all over his face.

If it had a tail, it would be wagging like crazy, right?

While Shen Qingyu and Xiao Yunqi were both there, the children entered the main room again. Wen Che took the opportunity to remind the duo: "The three children have already finished the Thousand Words Literature. Remember to praise them."

The two looked at each other in surprise: In just two or three months, they actually finished learning a thousand-character essay?

This is really amazing!

So during dinner, Shen Qingyu asked the triplets seemingly unintentionally: "Where did you learn the Thousand-Character Essay?"

Erbao is the most positive: "We have all finished learning the Thousand-Character Essay!"

"Oh! That's really cool! Can you recite it to me?"

So the three children shook their heads and memorized the Thousand-Character Prose in unison: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged..."

Not a single one got stuck!

Shen Qingyu and Xiao Yunqi showed expressions of admiration to the three children.

Shen Qingyu rewarded each of the triplets with a relatively good set of Four Treasures of the Study, but Xiao Yunqi... was not prepared in advance.

The triplets instantly felt a great sense of glory, and their chins almost went up to the sky!

Shen Qingyu cast a grateful look at Wenche again and said softly: "Wenche, I have brocade with ink bamboo patterns here. Can I ask Cuixi to make a set of gown for you?"

"!!!"

Wenche subconsciously looked at Xiao Yunqi, and then met Xiao Yunqi's dissatisfied eyes.

Wenche shook his hands and smiled panickedly: "No, no! I still have clothes to wear."

Shen Qingyu turned to look at Xiao Yunqi, grinned and said: "Xiao Yunqi, go buy a piece of brocade for Wen Che and ask Cui Xi to make him a set of robes!"

Xiao Yunqi was shocked: "Why?"

Wenche enlightened the three children just for my sake.

If you don't thank me and don't make me clothes, then you ask me to make them for Wen Che?

Shen Qingyu couldn't help but kicked him under the table: "Three children are not your kind? They have raised your children so well, you, the father, don't need to express it?"

Uh... I didn't expect this level.

Xiao Yunqi suddenly realized: "It should be..."

Shen Qingyu sneered coldly: "You really don't think of yourself as a family."

Xiao Yunqi: "Wenche, I'll buy brocade for you tomorrow. It's one with a black bamboo pattern, right..."

"Thank you, cousin. Fine cotton is fine." After saying this, Wenche was as quiet as a chicken.

Shen Qingyu also talked about the lack of water in the fields in the village and sighed: "There should be a spring on this mountain, but how can we people find it?"

Xiao Yunqi considered it: "The wild animals on the mountain must know it. It's a pity that there is no obedient person who will lead us to find it."

"I have no choice but to try. Li Zheng said today that everyone has been wandering around the mountains in the past two days to see if they can find it.

Otherwise, others will not be able to survive, and we will become a thorn in their eyes even though we are still having fun."

As soon as Shen Qingyu finished speaking, Xiaobao suddenly answered: "I want to go too."

"You? You're a kid, what are you going to do?" Shen Qingyu immediately rejected it.

"I'll take Rhubarb with me. It can understand my words and find it." Xiaobao was confident.

"Really?" Xiao Yunqi and Shen Qingyu looked at each other, doubtful.

Research shows that dogs’ sense of smell is 1,200 times greater than that of humans.

If Xiaobao can communicate with Dahuang, maybe it can happen?!

Shen Qingyu was moved: "How about... try it?"

There will be another update in the evening.

Are there still monthly passes?

Have some more!
