Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 229 - 199: Staying Behind (3)

Wei Ziang nodded lightly: "Mm."

Xiaomi waved her hand: "Good night."

Wei Ziang was taken aback for a moment, somewhat confused, but he also waved his hand: "Good night."

In the moonlight, you could only see the smile on Xiaomi’s face, suddenly bright and dazzling, then she turned around, bouncing away.

It wasn’t until Xiaomi returned to her own room next door that Wei Ziang gently closed the door, picked up the oil lamp, and returned to his room.

He didn’t go to sleep immediately but walked around the room, as if checking the surroundings, before finally reaching the bedside.

He casually placed the oil lamp to the side but found it was empty, realizing there was no table by the bedside; the table was a bit further away.

Wei Ziang paused for a moment and finally realized that he was no longer in the previous place.

That place was Xiaomi’s secret base, a secret base her family didn’t know about and couldn’t be told.

Wei Ziang hesitated for a moment before placing the oil lamp back on the table, extinguished it, and walked to the bedside in the moonlight.

Sitting on the bed, Wei Ziang let out a small breath, his whole body seemed much more relaxed.

After so long, he finally saw the night...

Darkness finally gave him a real feeling, rather than wondering if he was dead...

Meanwhile, Xiaomi happily pulled her sister to sleep together, thinking about another matter, then woke up right on time in the middle of the night.

Just like before, she sneaked off the bed, then stealthily went to the backyard, as usual to water the cattle and horses.

She went out from the back door, closed it, waved her hand, and the sleeping Xiaomi and Xiaohei were released.

The two little ones had grown plumper over the last six months, shiny and sleek, having shown no signs of suffering from drought.

When the two little ones came out, they were a bit bewildered, just about to excitedly bark when stopped by Xiaomi.

"Shh, shh, shh, don’t make a noise," Xiaomi pressed her index finger to her lips.

Xiaohei and Xiaomi seemed to understand, indeed keeping quiet, only Xiaohei constantly circled around Xiaomi, panting happily.

"You guys go up the mountain to play in the fields, come back when it’s dawn, go!"

Saying this, she waved her little hand, and indeed they seemed to understand, paused for a moment, then ran off to the mountains one after another.

So obedient, they even seem to understand human speech.

Satisfied, Xiaomi turned and went back to her room, knowing that by tomorrow, Xiaohei and Xiaomi would be safely back from outside.

As for the reason?

Hehe, she didn’t need to find any reason at all, being such a little girl, what could she possibly know, right?

Early the next morning, Xiaomi was still groggily sleeping, when she heard Erniang’s voice of surprise.

"Xiaomi, Xiaomi, Xiaohei and Xiaomi are back, they’re okay! They’re back!"

Erniang’s voice was still in the courtyard, Xiaomi barely hearing it, rolled over and sprang up, not even wearing clothes and shoes, rushed outside.

"Xiaohei, Xiaomi!" Xiaomi acted so excited, as if she hadn’t been playing with them every day in space herself. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Xiaomi, slow down, you’re not dressed yet!" Xiaoxue hurried holding Xiaomi’s clothes after her.

Xiaohei and Xiaomi had already come to Xiaomi by now, Xiaohei excitedly pounced over, Xiaomi hugging Xiaohei’s neck.

Only Xiaomi meowed a few times on the side, then proudly strutted off, climbing up the beams along a post.

"Xiaohei, Xiaomi, where have you been, I missed you so much, I thought bad people took you away."

Xiaomi ’excitedly’ grinned foolishly, just as Wei Ziang came out, pushing the door open, upon hearing this.

Their eyes met, and Xiaomi felt something was wrong, forgetting that Wei Ziang had seen Xiaohei and Xiaomi before!

Luckily, she thought quickly, before Wei Ziang could react, she hurried to explain.

"Brother, this is Xiaohei, and there’s a cat called Xiaomi. They went missing before and only just came back today."

Wei Ziang seemed to understand a bit, nodded with some bewilderment: "Oh, I see."

Xiaomi secretly let out a sigh of relief, just as Xiaoxue brought her clothes and shoes over.

"Xiaomi, quickly put on your clothes and shoes first, Xiaohei and Xiaomi are back, surely they won’t leave again."

Xiaomi nodded obediently: "Oh, okay, I got so happy, I forgot about it."

In the next few days, the weather was sunny, the climate rose gradually, and while Jiang Hu got busy with the rice paddies, Erniang also tidied up the vegetable garden again.

All the cow and horse manure were put into the pit, others still came to the Jiang house for manure but brought dried cow manure in exchange.

Fortunately last year a cow was bought, though pigs were not fed for most of the year, the cow could eat dry grass, and quite a lot of cow manure was accumulated.

Preparing rice paddies, planting vegetables, and then sowing corn and sorghum, etc.

Unfortunately, the wheat and rapeseed planted last year hadn’t matured before drying up, wasting dozens of pounds of seeds.

Luckily, there’s leftover wheat from last year, it can only be saved for the end of this year to replant another batch.

As for rapeseed, last year’s has all been pressed for oil, they’ll need to buy new ones at year-end.

After wrapping up a late spring planting, it was already April, and the weather was getting hotter, the thin cotton-padded jackets were swapped out.

The vegetables in the field hadn’t grown up yet, even the wild vegetables on the hillside were sparse this year.

As for Xiaohei and Xiaomi, sure enough, as Xiaomi guessed, without her saying much, others found excuses.

For instance, during the drought, the two little ones avoided disaster by running to the mountains on their own, and so on.

Xiaomi listened, just agreeing casually, with an attitude of that’s exactly how it is.
