However, because she knew that Xue Sanfu had a strong sense of vigilance and was hanging at the back of the carriage this time, Jiang Yue was also particularly careful to avoid being discovered by Xue Sanfu.
Xue Sanfu naturally didn’t notice anything, and the carriage returned to Locust Village.
Jiang Yue hid at the back and only landed when they were almost at the door. She quickly hid in the darkness and went back to her room through the back window of her room.
It was late at night, and it was time to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Yue didn’t mention that she had gone to town to change the seeds. Xue Yan knew that she had told him about it yesterday, so he didn’t mention it either.
Shao Shuting had been recuperating for more than ten days, and his wound had already formed a scab. It was just that the inside hadn’t healed yet, and it still hurt. Now, he could get up and walk slowly as long as he didn’t move too much and open the wound again.
It was very uncomfortable to lie down for a long period of time. Since he could get up and walk, Shao Shuting would occasionally get up and walk by himself. It was very hot outside, and he didn’t want to torment himself to the heat in case he got injured again. He just walked slowly in his room, step by step, as if he was taking a walk outside.
Sometimes, he would stand by the window and watch what Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were doing. He felt that these two children were really interesting, and he was getting more and more invested in them.
Most of the time, he was wiping his sword and swinging the sword around a few times, but the other parts of his body didn’t move.
He hadn’t used his weapon for a few days, and he was really not used to it. If he didn’t touch the sword today, he would feel like a stranger if he held it next time. Only when he held it in his hand every day did he feel that it was real.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan washed two plates of strawberries in Xue Dagui’s yard and put them on the table in the central room, which they would eat as after-meal fruits.
Eating fruits after lunch was not a bad idea. However, it was still early in the day today, so it was not time to prepare lunch.
Suddenly, Lu Zhuangniu’s voice was heard.
“Xue Yan! Xue Yan!”
Before Xue Yan could respond, Shao Shuting, who was still practicing his swordsmanship in the room, said with a smile, “Xue Yan, someone is calling you.”
Shao Shuting managed to hear Lu Zhuangniu before Xue Yan did. Seeing that Xue Yan didn’t respond immediately, Shao Shuting decided to call Xue Yan to get his attention.
“Okay, thank you.” Xue Yan responded and walked out of the central room to meet Lu Zhuangniu.
“Your father asked me to come here to look for you. Someone just came to look for your father and happened to b.u.mp into me, so I brought him to look for your father. I didn’t know that your family had already decided on bricks and tiles so early on! Apparently a shop a.s.sistant who sells bricks and tiles wanted to meet up. He’s here to familiarize himself with the road.
“No one has ever bought bricks and tiles in this village, so he’s afraid of going the wrong way. He also told your family that the bricks and tiles have been baked and will be delivered tomorrow. Before the bricks and tiles are about to be sent over, your father said that he wanted to draw land with my father to build a house in the village. Since it’s all on the edge of the village, we chose to build it next to Xue Dagui’s house.
“Your father said that he was busy now and that he can’t read, so he told me to tell you and Jiang Yue to come with me to find my father to draw out the land here, make a doc.u.ment, and get a land deed.
“When the time comes, my father can send it to the government to get a big seal. I’ll just let you and Jiang Yue deal with it as you see fit. As for how much land to draw, it’s also up to you two. Your father said that he believes in you two.
“I can’t believe your father and the others are treating you two like adults. It’s amazing to see such an important matter has been handed over to you two.”
When Shiye and Shao Shuting heard this, they weren’t surprised at all.
