Chapter 19
“What should we do?” Listening to the conversation between her husband and her daughter, Mrs. Cheng got worried immediately.
Cheng Bi Yuan took a look at his wife and said, “Don’t worry, Yuqin. We will figure something out.”After saying that, he turned to his daughter and asked gently, “You have any thoughts, Xiao Xiao? If so, do share, we can figure it out together.”“Well…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned lightly and looked hesitant. Mrs. Cheng walked up to her daughter and touched her arm, tenderly she said, “Xiao Xiao, it will be alright. You can share any ideas that you may have. If we don’t resolve this, we won’t dare to go sell any more items at the market.”She was not an ignorant villager. Mrs. Cheng understood that this has to do with their livelihood. She had thought they were faced with a big challenge. She hadn’t expect her daughter would suddenly received some mysterious dimension that changed the course of everything, and also solving all their everyday issues.It was because of that that she didn’t want any other accidents, nor bringing about any troubles or disasters.“Mom, I know!” Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded lightly, she thought for a second longer then said, “Dad, mom, what I am thinking is perhaps we should start a small farm and we will raise the chickens and rabbits in the dimension there. Preferably, we will also start some rice paddy and ploughed them. That way, we will be able to explain things away when people asks.”“That will work. Let’s arrange for that!”Cheng Bi Yuan, who seemingly had something on his mind, agreed with Cheng Xiao Xiao’s suggestion. Then he said to his wife, “Yuqin, I am going to have to rely on you and Xiao Xiao. We have a few?mu
?of fields, you and Xiao Xiao will have to plough it. Luckily the sowing season for rice is coming soon, we will plant the seedlings then. Let’s carve out some of the baron land on the side for the farm animals. Whatever’s remaining we will plant some vegetables. That way we will have everything. Unfortunately that will be a lot of work for you and Xiao Xiao.”After finishing what he was saying, Cheng Bi Yuan was consumed with guilt. He couldn’t help his wife and daughter in his current condition. Instead, he had turned into their burden. Suddenly his heart with filled with hatred for the culprit of his injury. He had already left that place, yet they still did this to him, that was unforgivable!Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t know what was going through her dad’s mind, but Mrs. Cheng had noticed the flash of hatred in her husband’s eyes, as though he had thought of something. Silently she walked up to him and sat down on the side of the bed, “Dear, we are doing well now. We are happy, don’t worry about other matter and don’t think too much. Where there’s a will there’s a mean. Our family will find our own path!”“Mmm!
” Was his response.From her parents’ look Cheng Xiao Xiao could sort of guessed the context. She turned and left the room to give her parents some space. She believe she will find out what had happen one day.She left the house and the yard and walked to the outside. She took the opportunity to inspect the area for the fields and had an idea had formed in her mind!She spent about an hour to inspect the area round the house. There were about 3-4?mu?of rice paddies. Problem was that the irrigation system was broken and never been fixed. Once they fixed the irrigation system and connect it to a water source, they will be able to grow rice in these fields.The area to the left and right of the house were all dry land, they could be used for either growing vegetables or raise farm animals. Now that Cheng Xiao Xiao were able to inspect the area and formulate some ideas, she felt better. She planned to get everything all set up in the next day or two.Standing in front of the house, dusk has arrived. A beautiful scene of the sun setting played in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes. She sight lingered at the smoke from all the cooking in Willow Village. They danced in the evening sun, rose, and slowly dissipated into the sky.___1.?????Common measurement of areas in Asia. 1?mu?= 60 square yard, 540 square feet, or 667 square meter.2.?????A sound of affirmation, similar to “Okay!” but less chirpy.
Suddenly familiar laughter rang from the riverside. Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but turned her head toward the source of the noises. Looking at her three sibling having fun in the river, the corners of her mouth lifted and forming a beautiful arc. A light smile appeared on her attractive face.
Up to this point she had only considered herself a visitor of this place. Even though she was living in this world, but she had always think of herself as an outsider. But, right now, the beautiful village and the happy laughers gave her a sense of belonging.
Perhaps, ever since she had opened her eyes in this world, she was meant to be tied to here and never be able to part with it.After dinner, Cheng Xiao Xiao returned to her house. She played with her younger sister for a bit before she put her to bed and entered into the dimension.She kept herself busied for a while. After taking care of everything, she sat in front of the cottage and started planning how she could plough and seed the fields outside.“Young master….”She heard a soft voice. She was startled and immediately looked around but didn’t see anything. Was she mistaken about hearing a voice?“Young master…”The voice rang again. This time she knew she was not mistaken. She jumped out and was both startled and suspicious. With the exception of the System, she was the only one that could talk in the dimension, but now there’s this….“Young master…”This was the third time she had heard it. The shocked Cheng Xiao Xiao finally discovered where the voice came from. She stared straightly in front of her and walked toward it one small step at a time.The very surprised Cheng Xiao Xiao stared squarely at the jade vine shaking in front of her. She swallowed her saliva, as though she was worried that she’d startle the owner of the voice, she said with great caution, “Yuteng (jade vine), is that you talking to me?”“It is me, young master!”A soft and sticky voice. A flash in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes and suddenly a small girl in a green outfit appeared in the air in front of her. The girl was the side of a doll, her face delicate and pink like that of a baby. Her eyes were big and her lips a bright red color. She’s a smart and cute little thing.“You are….?”“Young master, I am the jade vine fairy or sometimes referred to as the fairy of the dimension. From now on, any matters related to the dimension, jade vine can take care of them for you. You won’t need to come here every day. Anything you need taken care of, just let me know through your consciousness. Yuteng will delivery for you.”The smiley Yuteng yakked non-stop. The prideful way she talked made her even more loveable.Cheng Xiao Xiao listened to her quietly and didn’t say a word. She didn’t expect the dimension would even give her a fairy. She certainly appreciate having some company in this usually horribly silent place.After Yuteng was done talking, the two of them sat down in front of the cottage. Cheng Xiao Xiao told the fairy her most recent troubles.After listening to Cheng Xiao Xiao’s problems, the fairy waved her little hand loftily and said, “Young master, that’s no problem. You want to plough some field outside, Yuteng will take care of that for you. As for a water source, we have a well in the dimension, we can clone one to the outside world. We can irrigate the field with the water from the well. The harvest will be great!”“We can clone the well to the outside world?”Cheng Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded for quite a while before it registered. But then again, she got the dimension, then there’s a fairy, anything can happen!”Looking at the pond in front of her, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked, “Yuteng, what about the pond? Can we clone the pond to the outside world also? I would like to have a pond as well.”“No problem!”“Really?”“Young master, if you don’t believe me, we’ll go right now. Let me show you!”
