Chapter 167: Land Reclamation Er Tie brought back many small birds with Si Tie and Wu Tie. After being identified by Yan Lao’er, they turned out to be quails. Happily, they took the children to pluck the feathers and remove the innards, washed them clean, and roasted them to eat. As soon as the Yan family’s seasonings were brought out, the children stood by, swallowing their saliva repeatedly. The tiny quails had pitifully little meat, and each person only got a small morsel. But the…-

Chapter 168: Earning a Little Money Yan Xiangheng and Da Ya followed Second Uncle's gaze. They saw that Aunt Rong worked incredibly efficiently. She made it look effortless, and the weeds stood no chance under her hoe. With a single stroke, the weeds were completely wiped out. Watching her clear the weeds was a delightful surprise for the Yan family. They had initially thought Aunt Rong was just skilled at housework, but it turned out that her "customized farmer's edition" also came with…

Chapter 169: Distribution Yan Lao'er visited three brick kilns—one in Dongqiao Town of Gufeng and the other two across the river in Yongning. The journey was full of twists and turns, with plenty of inquiries and directions needed along the way. At each kiln, he placed an order for 20,000 red bricks, using his thick skin to bargain the price down to 19 strings of coins per 10,000 bricks. He paid a hefty deposit at each location and sweet-talked his way into taking some stock…

Chapter 170: Plans for Tomorrow When Yan Lao’er and Qi Si returned, exhausted from travel, the brick buyers had mostly dispersed. Yan Yu’s sworn brothers were helping the big customer, the Cui family, move their bricks. After receiving one tael of silver from Madam Cui, Yan Yu was searching for change. “Auntie, do you want broken silver or copper coins?” Yan Yu asked. Her aunt, Madam Cui, beamed at the child’s address and couldn’t stop smiling. “Oh, you sweet child! Give me…

Chapter 173: A Moment of Leisure Amidst Busyness By the time they got home, Aunt Rong had already prepared the meal. The dried meat had been stewed for so long that it fell apart at the lightest touch of chopsticks. Golden flatbreads, made from a mix of white and coarse flour, were stacked high. Yan Lao’er had pickled vegetables ready—two large bowls full. Wild green onions and garlic found in the wasteland, along with fresh dandelion greens, were washed clean and placed in a large basin…

Chapter 175: Buying Chickens They had bought sheep but couldn’t eat them. When Yan Lao’er saw someone selling roosters, he bought two, along with some seasonal vegetables—after all, they couldn’t keep serving only wild herbs. “Dad, buy a few more.” Yan Yu looked at the small roosters, already imagining what they would look like plucked—scrawny and thin. Yan Lao’er weighed them in his hand. Indeed, there wasn’t much meat. These small roosters weren’t raised specifically for…

Chapter 176: Planting Vegetables That night, Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan returned very late. "Third Master brought back a group of disaster victims from Gufeng," Yan Huaiwen said. There were quite a lot of them, and arranging their resettlement would be a complicated process. These people were in terrible condition—each one of them weak and on the verge of collapse, staggering into Hujü as if they might fall at any moment and never get up again. Liang Manshan deeply empathized with…

Chapter 177: Chopping Trees Yan Yu insisted on following her father into the mountains. Mao Mao was nestled in her arms. Yan Lao'er had no choice but to take her along. Sanbao was led by Li Xuemei to help work on the ten acres of land near the village. It was the busy farming season, and taking an ox into the mountains would have raised questions. The beams Qi Wu had found were made of cedar. Tall, straight, and of the right thickness. Qi Da carefully set Yan Yu down, while Yan…
