CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88: MIRACLE ELIXIR JIANG XIAOMIAO

This little incident didn’t cause much of a stir, only Erni was very sad since she took care of the rabbits the most every day.

Fortunately, Erniang comforted her, saying that it wouldn’t be long before new baby rabbits were born, which made her smile again.

Xiaomi only dared to secretly apologize in her heart, not daring to do anything else.

However, during the lunchtime nap, she went into the space once, and seeing the two lively little rabbits in the space, she still felt it was worth it!

Even though it was the twelfth lunar month, there wasn’t much less work in the fields, and the wild grass in the canola fields and wheat fields was downright lush.

Especially a type of wild grass called goose grass, one plant could spread out a whole patch, pulling it up from the root resulted in a big cluster.

And this goose grass was tender and juicy, whether for feeding rabbits, or chopped up to feed pigs and chickens, it was all quite good.

Of course, people could also eat this wild grass, but it didn’t taste good, unless the family had nothing else to eat, generally, no one would touch it.

Before the New Year, everyone would clear out the wild grass in the fields once, then they could enjoy the New Year properly.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hu and Erniang took a group of children and went to the field to work.

"Xiao Jiang, not only do your crops grow well, but even the grass grows well, saving the trouble of feeding pigs and chickens."

By pulling a bit of wild grass and adding some previously dried pig grass, there was no worry about not having anything to feed the pigs.

Jiang Hu was leaning against the field ridge to catch his breath with a full basket of pig grass on his back, and he replied with a smile: "Not bad, but having this fresh pig grass does save a lot of trouble."

While weeding, the pig grass is prepared, without having to run all over the mountains.

The same basket-carrying person was the village chief, also filled with goose grass and other wild grasses that could be used to feed chickens and rabbits.

However, one could tell at a glance that the wild grass wasn’t as good as Jiang Hu’s.

The village chief carried less, just a little bit, after all, chickens and rabbits didn’t eat much, so he just stood aside.

The village chief glanced at Jiang Hu’s basket and asked him, "Jiang Hu, have you thought about raising two more pigs next year?"

Jiang Hu was slightly stunned, but still shook his head: "There are too many fields, and there are so many chickens and rabbits, raising two more pigs might be too much work."

He did want to raise them, after all, the pork price wasn’t low, raising a few more heads for a year could also sell for quite a few taels of silver.

But he also knew his family’s situation, only he and Erniang were working, as for the few kids, they probably couldn’t help much, after all, they were planning to send Big Wa to school when he turned seven.

The village chief regretfully nodded: "That’s true."

Then he sighed: "It’s really just the fault of these times, how is it that we got separated from the old folks at home, if there was an old person to help, the days could probably be much better."

Jiang Hu just smiled, not answering.

In the eyes of others, the Jiang family was indeed not particularly good, although they raised quite a few chickens and rabbits, there were many children in the family, and they didn’t seem to buy anything easily on weekdays.

For this, Jiang Hu never explained.

"Oh, I ran into Liu Yang’s father at noon, I heard his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and it was you who took them to town, is it true?"

The village chief turned to mention this matter, looking somewhat pleased.

Jiang Hu was baffled but nodded: "Yes, why?"

The village chief slapped his thigh: "That’s great!"

Jiang Hu: "??????"

If he didn’t know the village chief’s character, this reaction would have made him misunderstand.

The village chief probably realized it too and quickly explained: "We’ve been settling in Fu’an Village for nearly a year, aside from the pair of twins in your family, this is the first happy event in the village."

Speaking of this, the village chief was full of smiles: "At first, I was worried, after all, we fled for more than half a year before, men and women alike were weakened physically, fearing it would affect this aspect, now it’s good, finally, there’s a piece of good news."

Jiang Hu immediately thought of what Erniang told him, that Liu Yang’s wife lost a child while fleeing.

People like Liu Yang’s wife were definitely not a few.

In Fu’an Village, there were quite a few young couples, but after a year, aside from Liu Yang’s couple, there was indeed no good news, which was really hard to explain, no wonder the village chief was so happy.

"It was indeed hard when we were fleeing, but now the bitter days have come to an end, as long as everyone takes care of themselves, it will naturally get better."

The village chief nodded: "Indeed, now everyone’s complexion is clearly better than when we just arrived at Fu’an Village."

Then he laughed: "But Liu Yang’s wife’s health seems not to be very good, unexpectedly she’s the first one in the village to get pregnant, it must be thanks to your Xiaomi’s blessing."

Jiang Hu was almost at a loss whether to cry or laugh: "My Xiaomi isn’t some magic elixir, she can’t guarantee whether others can conceive."

The village chief turned serious: "You can’t say for sure, I’ve heard a bit about Liu Yang’s wife’s situation, getting pregnant again so quickly might indeed be because she’s often with your Xiaomi."

Previously, where Xiaomi used to pass by, even the corn grew better, making Liu Yang’s wife’s health slightly better was definitely no problem!

Jiang Hu was simply speechless, but didn’t know how to refute, so he just picked up the basket: "Chief, there’s still a basket of pig grass in the field, I’ll head back first."

Saying this, he hastily left, the village chief’s gaze was really unbearable.

Fortunately, by the time he carried the second load back, the village chief was long gone, and the others he met on the road didn’t react as much.

After a busy day, when eating dinner at night, Jiang Hu brought up this matter at the table, feeling helpless as well.

Unexpectedly, someone else’s pregnancy, and the village chief could credit it to Xiaomi, shouldn’t it be said that it’s Liu Yang and Wang Xiang who are young and vigorous, full of affection?

Instead, Xiaomi, listening to the whole story, agreed with what the village chief said in her heart.

According to her parents and the doctor’s diagnosis, Aunt Wang Xiang should have had difficulty getting pregnant, maybe even unable to have children.

But she was indeed pregnant now, so there was only one possibility—Spiritual Spring water!

Just think, with Uncle Liu Yang’s instigation, both Liu Hai and Aunt Wang Xiang often came over to drink water from their house since May this year.

Was their water just ordinary water? It was the Spiritual Spring water that she added every day!

However, she didn’t expect the effect of the Spiritual Spring water to be this good, leaving Xiaomi a bit surprised.

She suddenly glanced at her parents, and then looked at her mother’s belly.

Since accidentally hearing her parents’ amorous sounds the first time, every night before bed, she had to enter the space first, only coming out after at least two hours, it had become instinct rather than just a habit.

She wondered if, after so long, there was also a little baby in her mother’s belly.

Now the family wasn’t short of food, so if there was a baby, it wouldn’t be difficult to support.
