Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 148 About a Space the Size of a Butt

She opened the bedroom door, replied very seriously, "Charcoal!" and went to the woodshed.

"..." Oh, it's charcoal.

Lin Lanshan thought to herself: In such a tiny space, there's charcoal among the essentials. What a painful realization that must be.

However, she strongly agreed that it was better than being caught in another downpour and shivering in a cave.

Yes, charcoal, an essential when going out!

Before half an incense stick's time had passed, Lin Chunyi returned in a flurry, carrying two cloth bags.

She handed one to her sister and said, "There are about two pounds of charcoal in here. It's not much, but it'll definitely be enough for an emergency."

There's no other way; we still have a lot of things we need to carry with us every day, and we can't fit any more in the space.

After saying that, he also stuffed the only umbrella into his storage space.

Lin Lanshan took the cloth bag, put it into her personal space, and then pouted.

"If it weren't for this torrential rain, I would never have imagined that I would put charcoal in my space!" Among people like them who travel through small spaces, there are probably very few who could do such a thing.

Looking up at the ceiling, he cried out, "God, please, grant us a bigger space!"

We don't need any magical springs or plants, just something that can store a little more stuff. It's so hard on the kids, moving all that stuff around every day!

Who would understand? A bunch of food and medicine with expiration dates, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, they had to keep them in the cellar and the open space almost every day.

I'm so tired I want to quit.

Lin Chunyi sighed, "Ah, I often have dreams like that too. In my dreams, I have a huge space, the kind that can hold an entire mountain!"

There's a magical spring inside; one sip makes you beautiful, two sips heal wounds, and three sips grant longevity. You can even go inside and plant things quickly…”

I can't keep dreaming. The more beautiful the dream, the crueler the reality!

The two sisters returned to reality and, with careful planning, packed all the essentials into their space.

Next, I packed the things I needed to give away.

When Lin Lanshan isn't possessive of her food, she's quite generous. As she filled the bag with jujubes, she said:

"This bag is for the village chief's family. They're sweet fruits; Aunt Zhang and her sister-in-law should love them. I just don't know if Xiaoman can eat them. Hmm, pack some extra for them..."

After saying that, he grabbed another handful.

Then, with a cheerful smile, he packed the food into another bag. "This is for Yang Yu and the others. They're still young, just kids. They'll definitely enjoy eating this!"

Lin Chunyi squinted and laughed at her, "You're talking so old-fashionedly, as if we're already in our seventies or eighties."

Yang Yu is five years older than you, and even Ashu is only two years younger than you... You're really enjoying yourself playing the elder here, aren't you?"

"Didn't you say that a teacher for a day is a father for life? I don't care how old they are, I just treat them like children."

"Hmm~ The more I think about it, the more mature I feel, hahaha." Lin Lanshan proudly tilted her head back.

As a modern person whose thoughts and insights are far ahead of others, he has an eighteen-year-old apprentice and two outer disciples around ten years old...

Lin Lanshan believes that she is a very mature and stable adult!

"It doesn't seem to make any mistakes... By the way, Lanshan, let's sell the Ganoderma tomorrow. We still need to buy a lot of things."

"Absolutely! We must sell first and then buy, otherwise our money will decrease!"

With only a thousand taels of silver, if you keep spending it without any income, it might just disappear one day.

You have to make a lot of money first before you can spend a little!

This is the fundamental principle of making money work for you.

Besides the two bags of jujubes, there were also the four fresh live fish that I had promised to bring to Aunt Zhang last time, each weighing about three pounds.

After packing my things, I lay down in bed and slept soundly through the night.

……

At dawn, the sky was dark and the valley was still asleep.

A mule cart, carrying the two early-rising sisters, set off down the mountain.

Lin Chunyi sat in front of the carriage, holding the reins in her right hand and popping a sweet jujube into her mouth with her left.

You eat one, and another one appears in your hand, like magic.

She conjured up another one and called out, "Peach, want some fruit?"

"Uh!"

At Lin Chunyi's prompting, Peach didn't run very fast. So it quickly slowed down, turned its head, and opened its mouth to wait to be fed.

One was tossed precisely, and the other was caught perfectly.

One person and one pet, they're having so much fun.

Lin Lanshan lifted the curtain and teased, "Sis, that's illegal driving. In the past, you'd get all your points deducted!"

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you have the nerve to say that? At least I was holding onto the rope. A few times you just let go of the rope and let Peach run off on her own. What do you call that—dangerous driving?"

In the past, this would be equivalent to driving without holding the steering wheel. Forget about points; they'd confiscate your car and fine you!

"..." Lin Lanshan often wondered if her sister and her older sister were really sisters because the older sister never gave in to her.

"Sigh, I won't give way in a physical fight, but I can't afford to lose even the slightest bit in a battle of wits. Sister, you really are my dear sister!"

Lin Chunyi suddenly became serious, "You're talking nonsense! I clearly let you win all the time!"

"Make me wash the dishes? Make me do the laundry? Or make me serve you tea and water?" Lin Lanshan knew what her sister wanted to say as soon as she heard that.

She hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting left and right, then she pursed her lips and remained silent. She rolled her eyes again, changing the subject, "Look ahead, see what's that?"

"What is it?"

"It's the road down the mountain!"

"..." Her sister is really funny, able to use such a ridiculous transfer technique with a straight face.

After descending the mountain, they arrived at the back gate of the only house at the foot of the mountain.

The two of them had passed by in a hurry on their way down the mountain last time, so they hadn't taken a closer look at the wall surrounding the backyard.

The courtyard wall, built of stone and mud, was high and thick, covering most of the houses inside.

Now we shouldn't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals.

Unless it can fly...

They knocked on the courtyard gate.

A short while later, the door creaked open from the inside, and a head that was about shoulder-high peeked out.

"Sister Lanshan, Sister Chunyi!"

Lin Lanshan raised an eyebrow. "A-Shu, have you grown taller?" She remembered that when they first met, this child was only a little over half her height.

It hasn't been long, and he's already grown more than two inches taller. His face has also filled out a bit, making him look much more energetic.

Ashu blushed, scratched his head, and said, "Really? Everyone in the village who's about my age is much taller than me."

If weight is a girl's weakness, then height is a boy's weakness. This has always been true throughout history.

She smiled and said, "Work hard to earn money, eat more food and meat, and you'll definitely grow tall! Come on, aren't you going to invite us in?"

"I'll open the door right away!" Ashu quickly opened the gate and waited until they led the mule cart into the backyard before closing the gate again.

Lin Chunyi then asked, "Where's Ahua? Isn't she home?"

According to their work assignments, Yang Yu and Ashu should be working outside at this time. Ashua, on the other hand, is cooking at home and will just come to open the door...
