Protagonist:

Chai Mi

After Chai Youqing had finished turning the soil, Chai Mi led Chai Xiu home first.

Handling fertilizer hurts the hands quite a bit; urea's corrosiveness is pretty strong.

Chai Mi washed her hands very carefully, then made dinner, and after eating dinner, she went out for a stroll to find Song Qiushui.

Chai Mi is a landlubber, but Song Qiushui's swimming ability is bizarrely abnormal. This might have something to do with Song Qiushui's parents possibly being from the South, giving her an innate swimming attribute.

Chai Mi belongs to that type of girl with a firm personality, but whose body simply doesn't allow her to do too many outrageous things.

So things like those in later-era period novels — going up the mountain to fight tigers, diving into the sea to catch turtles, tearing wild boars apart by hand, gaining a system, having exploding luck, the koi physique's heaven-defying fate-changing behavior — Chai Mi couldn't do a single one of them.

Take catching fish for example: Chai Mi's water affinity is almost zero, so going into the river to catch fish she basically wouldn't do, and fishing she has no equipment for……

The only thing Chai Mi can do is, if the riverbank water isn't too deep, not past her knees, she can guarantee she won't drown.

That's it.

But Chai Xiu said she wanted to eat something good, and Chai Mi also felt they should improve their meals, so it was just right to call Song Qiushui to go catch a fish together.

It was just for the freshness.

Chai Mi also couldn't possibly catch many fish, and absolutely couldn't catch a particularly large amount to sell…… her luck wasn't that bizarre; if she had that ability to catch several hundred catties in one go, why would she still be catching fish?

Just buy a lottery ticket, wouldn't that work!

Arriving at Song Qiushui's doorway, Chai Mi hadn't even entered the courtyard yet when she heard people quarreling inside.

"Song Qiushui, oh Song Qiushui, what can I say about you? Can't you do something proper? Do something a young lady should properly do? Look at you, nothing better to do than play with a slingshot…… is that what a girl should do?" The man anxiously scolding inside was precisely Song Qiushui's father, Song Qingshan.

Song Qingshu kept chattering on, when a woman's voice was heard: "Song Qingshan, what do you mean? What's wrong with my daughter playing with a slingshot? Is it illegal? How does it offend your eyes? You're really a dog meddling in mice's business, minding other people's business! Don't bring that sesame-seed-sized petty official position of yours as village accountant home to throw your weight around. Among all the old men in the village, you're the most incapable — can't do anything right, never get enough to eat…… my precious daughter just doesn't have meat to eat, she's pitiful to the extreme, so she made a slingshot herself, thinking to shoot a few rabbits and pheasants?"

As the woman spoke she wiped away tears: "My poor daughter has gotten so thin……"

Chai Mi, about to enter, was completely dumbfounded: Tsk…… definitely a birth mother…… Song Qiushui isn't starving, she dieted herself thin!

Chai Mi felt indignant on Song Qingshan's behalf.

In the courtyard Song Qingshan also said: "No…… alright alright alright. You're right, Qiu Shui made the slingshot to shoot pheasants and rabbits, but let me ask you, all our home's glass shattered, was that her doing? Never mind rabbits, I haven't even seen a single rabbit hair, and besides, you shoot rabbits at home? Do we raise rabbits at home? Where would rabbits come from? Where would pheasants come from? She's just ruining things!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Song Qiushui's mother stood a head taller pointing at Song Qingshan's nose cursing: "They all say sharpening your spear at the last moment, better late than never. That child hasn't played with a slingshot before, doesn't she need to practice! Soldiers going to the battlefield still need training, have you seen any family's soldier just pick up a gun and go to the battlefield without a single day of practice? Don't they have to study hard and train bitterly? Qiu Shui practicing slingshot at home is also so she can shoot more rabbits later to honor you. But in my opinion, with a father like you, there's no need to honor you. You're nothing……"

Song Qiushui's mother still didn't feel relieved, continuing to curse: "You're old, incapable now. All year round, can't even afford to slaughter a pig, or a sheep, or a cow. Only buy two catties of meat every month or two, the child is exactly at the age of growing, you wonder if it's your old stubborn thing, you have the ability to raise a few pigs, slaughter them at New Year to eat, then Qiu Shui wouldn't have to work this hard. Isn't it just because you're incapable…… you useless waste, you're nothing."

Song Qingshan was speechless.

Song Qiushui hurriedly said: "Mom mom mom, not that bad not that bad. My dad's pretty good already. Me breaking the glass, purely an accident……"

"I see not a bit of accident! You smashed it all……" Song Qingshu muttered.

"You shut your mouth!" Song Qiushui's mother hysterically cursed: "Isn't it just because you're incapable, if you had ability you'd get some sturdy glass, that kid uses a broken slingshot and can still smash glass? Isn't it just because the glass isn't sturdy……"

Song Qingshan's whole person went numb: "You just spoil her then, whatever she does is right. Whatever I say is wrong……"

"That's still because you're incapable……"

Song Qingshan helplessly walked out of the courtyard, saw Chai Mi at the doorway, he embarrassedly scratched his head, face not red heart not jumping said a sentence: "Chai Mi's here…… come in quick, Qiu Shui was just nagging about you, saying she made a slingshot, hundred shots hundred hits……"

Hundred shots hundred hits glass!

Home's glass all smashed!

Chai Mi pretended she just hadn't heard anything, completely acting like she just arrived, smiling nodded, then entered the courtyard.

Song Qingshan found an excuse to go out and look around and left.

"Qiu Shui, watch the dog." Chai Mi called out.

Song Qiushui's family raised four dogs…… one cream-colored Chinese rural dog, one yellow-and-white mixed Chai dog, one yellow-head black-body ugly-to-explosion native dog, one pure black wolfdog.

Actually Chai Mi comes often, the dogs are familiar with her too. And Chai Mi isn't very afraid of dogs……

Can't beat a person, still can't beat a dog?

But that Chinese rural dog, Chai Mi is a bit wary of! Because that guy grew a bit too fat, Chai Mi self-aware really can't beat that dog……

So told Song Qiushui to watch it.

"What are you afraid of?" Song Qiushui ran out of the room looking spirited.

She wore a set of camouflage uniform, yellow rubber shoes, wore a sun hat, big sunglasses, held a slingshot in hand……

Problem, also holding an umbrella……

Chai Mi got a headache: this getup, in the great summer, isn't she hot?

"Come in come in, don't be afraid. My family's dogs don't bite, besides, if a dog bites you, you bite it back……"

Chai Mi nodded.

She truly believed if a dog bit her, Song Qiushui would really turn around and bite the dog……

And Chai Mi estimated, that dog probably couldn't out-bite Song Qiushui……

"I heard it all from outside the door, how did you cause trouble again? Your home's glass didn't provoke you, all smashed by you?"

Chai Mi looked up, Song Qiushui's home whether main room or side room, window glass uniformly shattered, ground full of glass shards.

And Song Qiushui's mother was cleaning it up……

Chai Mi couldn't help but "look at with new eyes" Song Qiushui's mother — Song Qiushui is this bully-like, yet her old lady still speaks for her! Such a good mom, where to find……

"Hot!" Song Qiushui waved her hand, signaling Chai Mi not to make a fuss, these are all her basic operations: "When I sleep it's too hot, my dad closes the windows again, afraid I'll catch cold…… I just found an excuse, smashed them all for him!"

The weather here is indeed like this, even in the dog days of summer, nighttime temperature has always been very low.

Day-night temperature difference extremely large.

It's a summer resort.

It wasn't any special terrain; rather, the altitude here was relatively high, hilly landform with many mountains and trees, so the temperature difference between day and night was naturally large.

Places with high altitude get cold at night...

It was the same over here.

So when Song Qiushui slept at night, the old couple pondered, afraid Song Qiushui would freeze...

Mainly because Song Qiushui didn't get up in the morning, while the old couple got up early; seeing Song Qiushui still sleeping soundly, they acted on impulse, afraid the child would freeze, and closed the window...

Song Qiushui didn't wake until noon; forget closing windows, even if she slept under tree shade, she'd be hot...

Chai Mi wasn't willing to expose Song Qiushui, only saying: "Replacing the glass won't cost a few hundred? You're truly extravagant. Next time you sleep, just turn on a fan..."

"What fan?" Song Qiushui was stunned for a moment.

Chai Mi was also stunned for a moment, only then remembering Song Qiushui's home had no fan.

Household appliances weren't widespread in this era; the Xiangli didn't sell small fans, at most there were ceiling fans on the roof, but those had little effect, loud noise and weak wind, mainly unable to change the room's temperature, so ordinary families wouldn't install them.

Song Qiushui's home didn't have one either.

"Even if I said it, you wouldn't understand, you illiterate."

"I'm illiterate and proud!" Song Qiushui didn't care.

Afterwards she led Chai Mi into the house and washed a watermelon...

Chai Mi's teeth ached a little: in her lifetime, the first time seeing someone wash a watermelon.

Truly eye-opening!!!

Song Qiushui's mother also put down her work, came over to talk to Chai Mi: "Chai Mi is here... Qiu Shui, just wash the watermelon, it's not dirty. Wash some melons too..."

Chai Mi showed a considerate smile: "Don't wash, don't wash, not clean, eating won't cause illness."

Song Qiushui, you'd better not wash anymore; if you wash more, I can't play with you!

Fortunately, this watermelon-washing tough person, Chai Mi feared her three parts!

Fortunately, Song Qiushui washed a few times then stopped, took the watermelon up, and with a crunch of a kitchen knife split it open; one watermelon instantly split into four or five pieces.

Juice flowed all over the kang head...

Song Qiushui's mother hurriedly took a rag to wipe the kang, while Song Qiushui held the watermelon and shared it with Chai Mi and her mother.

"Awesome! Let my father hear it crunch!"

"No problem!"

"Hmph! Your father, nothing at all, can't even afford a watermelon, still needs you and Chai Mi to get one. Otherwise this summer, we couldn't even afford watermelon." Song Qiushui's mother chattered on endlessly.

Opening her mouth was Song Qiushui's father Song Qingshan being useless, closing her mouth was Song Qingshan having no ability.

Chai Mi was used to it.

These were routine operations of Song Qiushui's family situation, basically every day was like this.

Song Qingshan earned quite a bit, the family had plenty of land, he was an Accountant, and the family had a large apple orchard; selling apples every year earned a lot of money.

Logically speaking, Song Qiushui's family conditions were very good.

But actually, Song Qiushui's family had long been spending more than they earned...

No family could withstand Song Qiushui's extravagance!

Song Qiushui had several hobbies: loving to spend money...

The hobby of loving to spend money actually wasn't a hobby, but a group of hobbies!

Song Qiushui bought strange and weird clothes every now and then, looking especially trendy!

In this era, if Balenciaga hadn't opened a store in Ke County, otherwise Song Qiushui would dare to get a lifetime membership.

Song Qiushui's trendy clothes alone were enough to make the old couple drink a pot of bitterness.

Song Qiushui also liked spending money on cosmetics.

This thing was a rare item!

In this era, cosmetics were rare, all transported from the south, prices were bizarre. But the more bizarre the price, the more Song Qiushui liked it.

As far as Chai Mi knew, Song Qiushui's lipsticks had dozens of styles...

Also buying shoes.

High heels, extra-high heels, stilt heels...

Song Qiushui followed not wearing the right ones, only wearing high ones.

The higher the better!!!

The old couple's little money was all spent on this...

But the old couple still enjoyed it immensely!

Chai Mi sometimes felt it was unbelievable, but the actual situation was that even if Song Qiushui burned the house down tomorrow, Chai Mi estimated Song Qiushui's mother would say: burned correctly... Qiu Shui, Mom will build you a bigger house to burn, the bigger the house, the higher the flames...

Anyway...

Anyway Song Qiushui's family status was absolutely super high!

If you say the old couple spoiled Song Qiushui, not entirely.

Should be mainly Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, both willing, right!

Song Qiushui liked to cause trouble, the old couple liked watching Song Qiushui cause trouble...

"Chai Mi, eat, what are you being polite for?" Song Qiushui handed the watermelon to Chai Mi: "Eat heartily! If you don't eat now it'll be gone; my Second Uncle's watermelons, half were crushed by the car, the rest were picked back. I kept half a cart; last night, dug a pit all night, before burying them."

Chai Mi had just taken a bite of watermelon, almost choked: "What? You buried the watermelons?"

"Otherwise the weather is hot... in a few days they'd go bad; burying them can lower the temperature, preserve them for a while..." Song Qiushui patiently explained?

Chai Mi had a face full of question marks: burying them should make them rot faster...

"Isn't your home supposed to have a vegetable cellar?"

"Ah... right, my home has a vegetable cellar! What's wrong?" Song Qiushui also had a face full of question marks.

"Right, what's wrong?" Song Qiushui's mother also asked with a puzzled look.

"Not... could it be that you just put the watermelon in the vegetable cellar?" Chai Mi suggested cautiously: "If you put this thing in the vegetable cellar, it's cool inside, and you can keep it longer. Why bother digging a trap?"

Song Qiushui shook her head upon hearing this: "That's wrong. How can you put watermelons in a vegetable cellar? A vegetable cellar is for storing vegetables, otherwise why call it a vegetable cellar? If I put watermelons in it, wouldn't the vegetable cellar become a melon cellar? Then how would we store vegetables afterward?"

"What Qiu Shui says is right! A vegetable cellar is for storing vegetables, putting melons in it is wrong." Song Qiushui's mother also said decisively and with a firm attitude.

Chai Mi was speechless: Old Iron, no problem!

Chai Mi was left speechless by these two women; she truly feared her intelligence would be crushed by Song Qiushui's intelligence...

This kind of twisted fallacy that ordinary people could never think of, Song Qiushui performed it vividly!

The key point is, Song Qiushui's mother also completely and unconditionally supported what Song Qiushui said...

It was really effective!

Truly mother and daughter of one heart, their unity cuts through metal!

Not to mention anything else, just such a mother who doesn't distinguish right from wrong, it's hard to find a second one in this world!
