Seeing An Yu standing in the yard, the matter he wanted to discuss this time wasn’t just related to An Ning, so he simply started talking right there in the yard.

An Dafu: "I’ve found manpower in the village, starting tomorrow, to deal with the weeds and dead trees on the hilltop. I’ve already spoken to your godmother, letting her take Qinghe to the farm to cook tomorrow..."

Although the cooking spot is set at the farm, when it truly begins, they’ll need help from here.

Otherwise, even though he has a share in the farm outwardly, An Dafu would still make an effort to notify here.

In the past, Mrs. Yan would certainly offer to help, but this time, she didn’t.

Mrs. Yan hadn’t stepped out for a long time, and after calming down, realized how excessive her actions were.

Now, she is somewhat afraid to go out, fearing strange looks from others, afraid of being laughed at, thereby implicating her children.

However, the hill they bought primarily bears An Ning’s name, and frequently troubling An Dafu seemed improper to Mrs. Yan.

So, she said, "Nowadays I’m not suitable to go out. Truthfully, An Ning is really fortunate for Brother Erlai’s constant help. When there’s a leisure day, please invite Brother Erlai and his wife over for a meal, to show our sincerity."

"Sister-in-law is really polite. I’m busy all day, coming and going, making disturbances here and there, but just hoping sister-in-law doesn’t mind. There’s no need for a meal."

The two exchanged pleasantries back and forth a bit, and finally settled the matter.

It’s not yet the time for spring plowing, there are many idle people in the village, although a few are interested in tax-free land clearing, that’s merely a minority.

Thus, when An Dafu slightly shouted in the two villages, almost all strong laborers were mobilized, starting up the hill to sort the hilltop.

Initially, the wild grass and miscellaneous trees inside had to be completely cleared before they could proceed to the next step.

Watching seems simple, but when truly doing it, only then they realize how difficult it is to clear the hilltop.

Not mentioning the tangled roots and branches of the dead trees and wild grass, just the thorn bushes covering the mountain already gave them severe headaches.

Fortunately, with everyone’s united efforts, after more than half a month, they finally cleaned several hilltops thoroughly.

Meanwhile, An Ning could clearly feel the gratitude points in her space rising at a rapid pace.

Of course, solely relying on people from these two villages couldn’t possibly sustain this speed.

That’s why she found it even more puzzling, wondering where this wave of gratitude points originating since New Year’s was coming from?

Until now, she hasn’t managed to figure out this issue.

After cleaning the woodland, the next step is to dig holes on the mountain, preparing for planting fruit trees. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Having someone who cares for these things is beneficial. All arrangements were made by An Dafu, An Ning really doesn’t need to worry too much, regarding manual work, she’s even less needed.

However, An Ning isn’t completely useless.

During this feverish bustling, An Dafu quietly pulled An Ning aside and said, "Ningning, I recall you mentioned last time that your space has upgraded, didn’t you?"
