Chapter 178: County School Yan Yu remembered that she had set the labor points for scented soap at 100. It was really wonderful that the children were willing to contribute their labor to exchange for thoughtful gifts for their families—this was something truly commendable and worth supporting. However, she really couldn’t assign a high score to the task of picking up stones. After some thought, Yan Yu said, “Picking up stones earns 4 points per day. If you want to save up enough for the scented…- 417.5 K • Ongoing
- 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 Lao'er looked at her…

- 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 them. If not…

- 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 meat.…

- Chapter 174: Buying Sheep "Do you want sheep?" A dirty little kid approached, carrying a rather unpleasant smell. Mutton! Yan Lao'er and Yan Yu’s eyes lit up at the same time. Hotpot, mutton skewers, mutton soup... Various delicious mutton dishes flashed through their minds. Their mouths watered uncontrollably. "They're live sheep, and... they cost six qian of silver." The child hesitated before naming a price. "Six strings of cash?" Yan Lao'er calculated whether it was worth it. "No." The child…

- 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 on the…

- Chapter 172: Earth Cement "How do you know? Were you eavesdropping?" Yan Lao'er asked nervously. Yan Yu was speechless. Did he really think she was that kind of person? Could there at least be a basic level of trust between a father and his daughter? She tapped her own little head. "It's all in here. I just saw Uncle Hu helping to mix a kind of white powder, and it immediately clicked." The formula for earth cement, which only required a few ingredients, was really easy to remember. Of course, just…

- Chapter 171: The House-Building Master Arrives Yan Lao’er, true to his word, got up before dawn and went to plow the land by the river. Aside from the time spent harnessing Sanbao to the plow, the rest of the work flew by in a flash. He had to jog, stepping deep and shallow, just to keep up with Sanbao—and that was with Sanbao deliberately slowing down for him. By the end of it, he was wide awake, shaking off the last traces of drowsiness. Afterward, he drove the ox cart to a place called Luwang…
