Old man Ning observed everyone’s reaction and nodded lightly, then
said, “Okay, go make some arrangements. If you find the mother and daughter,
remember to be polite and invite them back here.”
“Yes, Master!”
While folks at Ning House started to arrange help in locating Mrs.
Cheng and Cheng Xiao Xiao, they had no idea that they had already attracted
attention to themselves.
Inside the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao just harvested a crop of
Chinese cabbage. The dimension has already reached Lv 3. Looking at the warehouse
full of white radishes, cabbages, and garlics, Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little
troubled. Even though the crops wouldn’t go bad in the warehouse, but she couldn’t
keep growing the same crops. She would need to grow something different.
Clicking on the screen, Cheng Xiao Xiao eyed the barley, rice, and
corn. The Cheng House was poor, so everyday they have been eating clear porridge
or corn noodles. For someone who had grew up eating rice, she definitely leaned
toward growing rice.
After some more thinking, she clicked on rice and seeded all 10 fields
plus the 5 additional ones that came with the leveling up. She believed she would
be able to harvest them the next day.
The idea of eating fresh cooked rice the next day made her laughed
happily.
Walking outside the cottage, she sat next to the pond. Looking at
the almost fully-grown fish, and thinking about fish soup at night, her smile
brightened even more.
Slowly, her smile reduced. What about dad’s injury?
She sat next to the pond and fell into deep thought.
“Regardless, let me level up the dimension some more. Not only
will there be more fields to plough, maybe there will be other surprises as
well!”
After making up her mind, she returned from the dimension.
Noticing that it was almost dark outside, she went to help her mother prepare
dinner.
That night, the family had delectable fish soup and savory fried
fish. All the young ones were excited and didn’t even ask where the fish came from.
Inside the house, Cheng Bi Yuan had a look of astonishment after
taking a sip of the fish soup. Then the astonishment turned into concern.
Looking at his wife, he asked, “Wife, have you had any of the fish soup?”
“Yes, I have. Are you trying to say that the fish soup is
spiritual?” Mrs. Cheng sighed faintly.
Mr. Cheng didn’t say more, just continued to drink the fish soup
quietly.
Mrs. Cheng said softly to herself, “I wonder whether this is a blessing
or trouble.”
“Blessing!” Said Cheng Bi Yuan with a determined look, “Even if it’
trouble, we will have to turn it around and make it a blessing. If God want our
branch to prosper, no one will be able to bully us anymore!”
“Ye…..” Mrs. Cheng
looked at him, worried.
“Yuqin, don’t worry. It’s okay, Xiao Xiao is not the same as
before, but that’s not a bad thing!” Cheng Bi Yuan reassured her, then
continued, “You will need to pay more attention to watching over Zheng Yuan and
Zheng Bin, don’t let them fall behind on their study or their martial art
training.”
“Yes, ye!” Replied Mrs.
Cheng tenderly.
“Let’s hold off on selling our chickens and rabbits, we have
enough supplies to tie us over for a while anyway.” In Cheng Bi Yuan’s mind, he
did not want his wife and daughter going to sell these things.
Mrs. Cheng nodded, “Xiao Xiao had just told me that she is growing
rice in the dimension and should be able to harvest tomorrow. We will have both
vegetables and rice so we won’t need to sell anything at the market, but….”
Painfully she looked at him, “Ye,
we will need more medicines for you!”
“No rush, I think the herbs that Xiao Xiao had been bring home are
quite good!”

Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a smart and caring father!
ReplyDeleteCurrently he's the only smart guy in the story, he knows it's best to keep a low profile, he protects his family.
DeleteI don't know... can't say I am a big fan of the dad... =.=
ReplyDeleteWhy does my urge to beat the two parents up keep increasing? How strange.
ReplyDeleteThanks for translating! ^_^
So he knows she isn't his daughter?
ReplyDeleteBut still chooses to use her?
Or am I overthinking?
*Shrugs
Thank you for the chapter 😘
I think the author sorta went back and forth between "she's like a different person" and "she's 'still' Xiao Xiao" (as in "she's our daughter / sister after all, we still love her)
ReplyDeletegracias
ReplyDeleteSince the things she brings out of the farm seem to be 'special' in some way, why isn't she running around adding herbs to her farm? There was 'nothing special' to suck in to her dimension... But are those herbs chopped liver?
ReplyDeleteI think she needed new / unique stuff to level up the dimension... hence the herb gets ignored... and if they can pick them in the wild... does she need to add them?
DeleteBut if she adds them then they will be spiritual plants and be even better for her dad!
