My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Chapter 196 Going Down the Cliff to Find Wild Vegetables

After washing up, Yang Fenglan took a comb and two pink strips of cloth. "Jingwei, come here, let me comb your hair."

The little girl got up and casually tied her hair up with a wooden hairpin, making it messy. Yang Fenglan couldn't stand it.

Zhou Jingwei seemed a little unaccustomed to suddenly having a mother, and stood there blankly until Yang Fenglan pulled her over, at which point she obediently stood in front of her.

Yang Fenglan braided her hair into two braids, then twisted them into a bun, tied it tightly with a pink cloth strip, and put a bow on it, making her look much more refreshed.

The others got up one after another. Xiao Ning saw Yang Fenglan combing Zhou Jingwei's hair and clamored that she wanted to have the same hairstyle.

"Okay, come here."

"Auntie, wait for me. I'm going to the outhouse. You can comb my hair when I come back."

"Okay, no rush, take your time," Yang Fenglan reminded her.

Xiao Ning ran back and snuggled up to Yang Fenglan, saying, "Auntie, I really love the braids you wear."

"If you like it, I'll do it for you every day from now on."

"Great! Great!" Xiao Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Zhou Jingwei felt terrible. Her mother was so kind to everyone else, but she left her at her uncle's house.

I guess I still don't like her.

"Little devil, what are you looking at? Are you done washing up?" Xu Yingying came out of the house, put her arm around Zhou Jingwei's shoulder, and pulled her attention away from Yang Fenglan.

"Washed."

"I said, you're not that old, why are you tossing and turning all night and not sleeping soundly? Are you having nightmares?"

"Huh?" Zhou Jingwei blinked.

"I think you're just bored. Your aunt will take you out to find some wild vegetables later, so you can get some exercise and sleep better tonight." Xu Yingying pinched Zhou Jingwei's cheek.

This enthusiasm made Zhou Jingwei feel embarrassed, but she quickly shifted her attention, saying, "Okay, Auntie."

Lin Cuiniang had told Xu Yingying several times that it was against the rules and she shouldn't have wanted to be Zhou Jingyi and his sister's aunt.

Hearing this again today, Lin Cuiniang couldn't help but say, "Jingwei, don't pay attention to her. Don't call her aunt, call her sister. This crazy girl, all she does is cause trouble all day long."

"Where did I mess around?" Xu Yingying asked, sounding somewhat guilty.

“Jingyi calls me aunt, so you’re going to be someone’s aunt? What, you want to be on equal footing with your mother?”

"To each his own."

"No manners at all." Lin Cuiniang shook her head, truly at a loss.

Today's breakfast was steamed buns.

Yang Fenglan would rather mistreat anyone than deprive herself of good food, so when buying grain, she always bought the best flour.

The steamed buns are incredibly soft and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness.

Everyone ate steamed buns with pickled vegetables with great enjoyment.

After the meal, the two boys were responsible for collecting and washing the dishes.

Xu Yingying called Yang Fenglan and led Zhou Jingwei down the cliff to find wild vegetables.

Incidentally, this will give the mother and daughter more space to nurture their relationship.

Zhou Jingyi was worried, so he took his hunting knife and went with the others.

With children with her, Yang Fenglan didn't dare go far and just wandered around the edge of the cliff.

The wild vegetables that could be found around here have long been dug up, and along the way, I only managed to pick up some dandelions.

【Chestnuts are here! Chestnuts are here!】

Long Aotian "whooshed" out of the bracelet and flew towards a dense forest.

"This way." Yang Fenglan followed closely behind.

After walking thirty or forty meters, I indeed saw chestnut shells lying on the ground.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the squirrel, which was munching on chestnuts, darted away and disappeared into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, look! There are chestnuts!" Zhou Jingwei suddenly jumped up.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at her, she lowered her head sensitively.

"Great, it really is chestnuts! Come on, let's go pick some chestnuts." Yang Fenglan turned around and took the child's hand.

Zhou Jingyi scratched his head. "I often walk this way, and I never noticed there were chestnut trees here."

"So it's true that Jingwei has good eyesight and a keen mind. She can spot the chestnuts even in such a dense area."
