Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 230: Settling in with the Jiang Family

Time flies, and another month has passed. It’s now May, and the time for transplanting rice seedlings has come.

"Big brother, hurry up, let’s go to the fields to catch some eels!"

Xiaomi was running ahead, followed by Xiaohei, with Wei Ziang at the back.

Wei Ziang had been living with the Jiang family for over a month and had gotten acquainted with everyone, though he still spoke less frequently.

However, everyone was understanding and even showed him a lot of care.

After all, his situation was different from everyone else’s. Without his past memories, everything was new and unfamiliar to him.

It’s natural to remain cautious when faced with unfamiliar things.

The person Wei Ziang trusted and was most willing to approach was undoubtedly Xiaomi.

Today, Jiang Hu went to town, the second aunt was tidying the house, Xiaomi was eager to run outside, but her big brother had to study, and her second sister had to watch over Tiedan, so Wei Ziang accompanied her out.

Fortunately, one was obedient and the other sensible, so the second aunt wasn’t worried about them.

The bamboo basket and eel tongs were in Wei Ziang’s hands, while Xiaomi ran ahead empty-handed.

However, Wei Ziang was taller and had longer legs. Though it didn’t seem like he was running, his fast walking didn’t leave him too far behind.

"Here, here, this is our family’s paddy field."

The fields had returned to their usual green, lush to the eye.

Corn and sorghum had sprouted, and the sweet potato vines planted in the ground had started to crawl. In about a month, they could be transplanted.

Today, the second aunt sorted out various seeds like peanuts and soybeans; it was a good time for sowing.

Recently, many people from the village came to the Jiang family to buy sweet potatoes after Liu Hai spread the word that Jiang’s sweet potatoes were big, sweet, and delicious.

Initially, people didn’t care much about sweet potatoes, but last year’s drought meant sweet potatoes replaced most of their food.

Only those who experienced it know the importance of food, even sweet potatoes that weren’t particularly valued before.

Therefore, once they heard Liu Hai say that Jiang’s sweet potatoes were big, sweet, and delicious,

Everyone had their thoughts, and among the forty or so households in the village, over twenty came to the Jiang family to buy sweet potatoes.

Perhaps fearing that the Jiang family didn’t have much, people weren’t greedy; they bought at most dozens of pounds. Sweet potatoes were propagated through cuttings anyway, planting some from Jiang’s and some from their own wouldn’t cause issues.

But Liu Hai didn’t mention that Jiang’s sweet potatoes were not only large and tasty, their yield was also extremely high!

Of course, Liu Hai didn’t actually know this, did he?

Back to the point, Xiaomi led Xiaohei and Wei Ziang to the edge of their field and started their search.

"Big brother, I’m telling you, the eels we catch ourselves and keep at home for a while taste really good."

Of course, keeping them at home for a few days actually meant nurturing them with Spiritual Spring water for a few days.

This, however, wasn’t something they could tell others.

Xiaomi’s eyes continuously scanned the field bank; she was already experienced in catching eels.

Wei Ziang handed her an eel tong: "But auntie said, with the drought lasting so long before, there might not be eels in the fields now."

Xiaomi lifted her chin: "Don’t worry, with me here, we’ll definitely catch some eels. Big brother, you look that way, and I’ll go this way."

They walked in opposite directions. While Wei Ziang wasn’t paying attention, Xiaomi lay on the field bank, stretched her hand into the field, and let Spiritual Spring water gush out, quickly spreading through the paddy.

The water in the field was only about finger-deep, so the Spiritual Spring water she put in wouldn’t draw attention.

"Xiaomi, what’s wrong?"

Seeing this, Wei Ziang hurried over.

Xiaomi got up nonchalantly: "It’s nothing, I thought I saw an eel hole, but when I got closer, I realized I was mistaken."

"Oh," but Wei Ziang still felt a bit uneasy: "I’ll stay with you."

Xiaomi had already achieved her goal, so she didn’t mind.

The two circled the field bank. Wei Ziang said, "Xiaomi, there’s no eel."

Xiaomi was not discouraged: "Let’s keep looking."

They hadn’t reached the place where the Spiritual Spring water was added.

Sure enough, the effectiveness of the Spiritual Spring water was still remarkable. As they approached the area with the water, Xiaomi got excited: "Big brother, look, they’re coming out!"

Of course, despite her excitement, she kept her voice low to avoid scaring the eels away.

Wei Ziang was also surprised but stayed calmer than Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, how do we catch them?"
