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 her hands: "Uncle, I just have a good brain, but I'm not the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother. It rains with just a click."

Yes.

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 and I didn't buy it. I thought it could go down again. 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 such times, 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 it has stopped flowing, who knows where to dig the spring?"

You can’t dig all over the mountain?

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

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

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 a greased 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 cake.

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

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

"Dad likes me the most."

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

"Dad, do you like me the most?" Erbao pestered Xiao Yunqi.

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 the peach cakes and walked away, chatting and laughing.

Shen Qingyu felt a little dazed when she saw the scene in front of her.

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

Gradually, the children began to look forward to Xiao Yunqi's return, and were extremely enthusiastic every time they greeted him. Erbao and Xiaobao would hug each other's thighs, begging to be touched.

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

It’s so 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 there was a tail, would it be wagging like crazy?

While Shen Qingyu and Xiao Yunqi were both there, the children all 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! 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 gowns 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 a robe for him!"

Xiao Yunqi was shocked: "Why?"

Wenche only enlightened the three children 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, why don't you, the father, 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 will buy brocade for you tomorrow. It's one with 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: "The wild animals on the mountain must know. It's a pity that there is no obedient person who will take 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 while we are still enjoying ourselves."

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 is confident.

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

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

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

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